I need help really bad!!

Sorry for the bad english.
I had my xperia for like 2 weeks now and last night i plug the usb from the
computer to my phone and my phone just completely shuts off. there is a red
light once in a while when its being charged. i charged it for 6 hours now and
it still won't turn on!??! Somehow my phone vibrates ones every two minutes
when it is off or being charged...have and idea??

are you still charging from the computer or the wall outlet. if not doing so already, i recommend that you charge from the wall outlet instead of the computers usb.
it may take a while before the red light goes out. turn off the phone and recharge it overnight.

i'm charging it from the wall outlet. The red light doesnt turn on anymore.
and still i can't turn on my phone.

1. Remove the battery cover.
2. Remove the stylus.
3. Use your stylus to press in the small RESET hole which is along the slot where you just took your stylus out of. you will feel something click in as you press it, like a hidden button.
if that does't help, take out the battery and put it back in after a second or two or three. hehe.
then connect it to the wall charger.

I had this problem a few days ago... it didn't switch on even after a whole night's charge
you just have take the battery out, then put the usb cable in, then put the battery in... you'll notice the red light doesn't flash anymore... BUT!! don't try to switch on... i'd leave it for around 1 minute, before switching it back on. if you just leave it; the red light will start flashing again
WB,

I tried all of the following and it still doesnt work.
i put the usb cable in and it pops up the red light and my computer says it doesnt recognize the device. and my phone vibrates happends every 1 min or so..
but it still won't turn on

no, plug the usb cable directly into the power point. it's useless using a computer to charge the phone anyway, it doesn't supply enough power. just keep trying different combinations... mine ended up working after what i said before, although i did use the car charger in may car as after the charge in the night didn't work.
1 - take out battery
2 - insert usb cable to phone and power point
3 - insert battery
4 - wait 30 secs to 1 minute
5 - press power button for like 4 secs...

man this sucks i did that too and its still not working...
hmm i don't know what happen to it. it was still full battery when it suddenly
shuts down. could it be the battery?

tried manually booting SPL??? hold volume down button and press power and keep holding for 3-4 seconds..... see if that works

i did that too still no sign.
i know its not dead cause when charge it the phone vibrates every 1 min or so
and it stops after maybe 5 mins

I have problems with charging my X1 with my PC.
My X1 only charges when my PC is turned on, with my Elf (HTC Touch) it charges also when my PC was turned off.
So I thought X1 would charge too, when my PC is turned off.
But it seems it drains the battery out of my X1 :-s
So next morning, my X1's battery was empty (after 3 hrs charging on USB => then it was full, and let it connected with my pc in the night, when pc is turned off.
It was quite frustrating for me, but I really don't know why this happens to X1 and not with my Elf.

try taking out the battery, wait 5 mins, re- insert it.
Then start charging via wall socket. wait 5 mins again and then breifly press the power button, should vibrate once then turn on.

How to charge the titan? opinions?

I've been told that charging the Titan while off is the best way - so the battery resets or something. I don't know if you have to do this everytime or just once and a while.
but i found that I turn my phone off, then while it's charging - it will mysteriously turn itself back on. The battery is not full yet, it just will randomly turn on.
So Is there a way to keep the phone off while charging? (I'm using a wall HTC adapter)

There is no reason to charge with the phone off. Also are you really turning the phone or or putting it in standby.

I hold the power button down till it says 'turn off , yes/no" and I push yes.
by the way what is standby?

push power button to turn phone screen off.

Some winmo phones turn on by itself, the titan and TP are 2.
I use S2U2 to lock the phone so the phone closes itself at a set time.
IMO, turning off your cell phone to charge ruins the point of having a cell phone for the time its off. Even if the phone's off, it'll still be draining a little energy.

Standby:
Phone is on. You press the power button breifly once. Phone screen turns off and phone goes into a low power mode.
Off:
Phone is on. You press and hold the power button and tap Yes when the dialog box asks if you want to turn off the phone. Phone then turns off completely.
If my phone is charging off a PC via USB it will sometimes awake from standby on its own. It doesn't do this when using just a charger. It does not turn on by itself though if fully turned off.
I only turn off my phone to charge if I want it to charge a little bit faster.

Sweet thanks for the replies.
I was just curious. But it turns out that my phone kept turning on, because my charger was on it's way out for some reason.
Tested it and it was only charging at a rate 50mA way less than the 1A label. And it was always super hot. So got a new one, problem solved, glad it didn't fry my phone

what you're referring to is calibrating the battery. to calibrate the battery, you need to charge your phone to 100%, let it die, then charge it to 100% while the phone is off. calibrating your battery resets the sensors inside which provide all the information about your battery, including remaining battery life. definitely a good thing to do every once and a while and you'll notice the difference

There aren't sensors inside the battery.

[Q] Aria not charging

I've had my Aria for about a month now, and just last night I started running in to trouble getting it to charge. I had plugged my phone into an outlet when I went to bed (I saw the orange light go on, then turned the screen off) and when I checked my phone the next morning, the charging LED wasn't on and the battery was at 42% (a fan was plugged in, too, and it was clearly working, so it's not the outlet).
Now, no matter if I plug it in to the wall or my computer, the charging LED SOMETIMES goes on for a second or two, but then as soon as I turn the screen off the LED goes off. Also, if I get it to start charging while using the phone, I noticed that putting the phone face-down makes it stop charging. I can't connect it to my computer to sync or anything, and Windows sits there and makes the "device connected" and "device disconnected" sounds in rapid succession.
Does this sound like a problem with my Aria's software, hardware, or the charger itself?

One thing you can do is take it to where you bought it and have them open a new box or use a known good charger and usb cord to test those two parts out. If that does not fix it then you are right there to take a new phone home.

So I forgot about the #1 rule when it comes to dealing with fussy electronics: Wait a day. Nothing changed, physically or software-wise, but my phone will now charge just like it used to.
Of course, thinks makes me suspect that something was freaking out on the software side, but hopefully it won't happen again once I put CM6 on it.

Focus just started acting weird, seems to not charge yet not want to turn off

My focus was working fine for the last 2 weeks. Last night I plugged it in, and went to bed.
This morning I woke up to a blank screen with a battery logo on it. When I pressed power button the phone didn't go on.
I changed charges, chords, etc. After a number of presses I got it turned on. Now when I hold down the power button it says goodbye but then instantly reboots instead of staying off.
Before I hard reset, anyone run into this?

Seems that the phone will always turn on when plugged in.

I second this. I can't remember if it is "officially" stated anywhere; but no one has said they turn off when plugged in.

I see the same issues. It will not stay off when charging.
It also seems to refuse to charge sometimes. I have mixed results, I have unplugged, removed battery, re-inserted battery and re-plugged, it restarted. I went to diagnostics, dialed *#2*#, this brings up the battery info, it takes a really long time to see if it is taking a charge. I think I see better results on the AC adapter instead of the PC USB port.

It charges MUCH faster on the wall charger. USB is so slow and so flaky they really shouldn't even claim it charges off the USB. USB is really for syncing and nothing else. Windows phones have always been that way as far back as I can remember.

X2 Charging problem

So the phone was really low, at 6% this morning. SO I put it on the wall charger. I saw the icon come up that it was charging and then put the phone down.
A while later I went back to the phone and saw that although the charger was plugged in to the wall and also plugged into the phone, it was NOT charging.
Using the phone I went to my contacts to check a phone number and then it turned off, due to no charge.
I plug it into the wall charger, the USB connected to the computer, as well as the car charger and here is what happens:
The top and bottom of the phone blink red for about 1-3 minutes.
Without pressing anything on the phone it automatically turns itself on, I see the Sony Ericsson boot screen, the Windows boot screen then my SPB Mobil Shell screen for about a second and then it turns off again showing and the blinking red light for about 1-3 minutes and then it starts the process all over again.
I think that a setting for Backlight/Power management was changed. As setting similar to "Only charge with usb", or "only charge when connected with ActiveSync" or somthing like that.
The problem is that I turned off the Active sync on the phone in order to conserve battery power so that I could look up the phone number from my contacts. And after I did that the phone shut off and I cannot change it, because it will not charge.
I do not have a different, charged, battery to try and do not think that I can find one easily.
Any suggestions?

Now when I see that the phone is re-booting(I see the SE logo), I use the stylus to to soft reset. It is obvious that there is some type of charge happening before it re-boots, , otherwise it would not re-boot. SO my theory is that by doing a soft rest between restarts, the battery will gain more of a charge each time. And possibly have enough of a charge so that I can go into my settings and see the backlight/ power settings have been changed.

So I took a battery from my old SE 902 phone and rigged it to work with my X2.
It booted up just fine. I was able to get into the menu for power settings. Nothig was changed however I did check the box "do not charge when connected to the computer" backed out of that screen and then went back into the screen and unchecked the box.
I powered down the phone and the screen went to the default charging battery meter.
I then put the proper battery in the phone and it was still blinking red. I saw it blink green for a few seconds, then I felt it vibrate, and then I saw the green battery meter. But after a few seconds it went back to blinking red and I could not see the battery meter again.
This seems to be happening intermittenly. As of right now there is a green blinking light and I see a dimmed battery meter.
Hopefully it will be fine, we shall see.

So it was charging for a while and now has stopped. I see the battery meeter, but there is no green bar moving up. and the light has stopped blinking.
I unplugged the usb and I still see the battery meter with no green bar moving. Installed the back cover and plugged the usb back in.
Now it is back to the red blinking again. . . ? ? ? ? ?

I think that it is a battery issue.
CAn anyone suggest why a battery would all of a sudden stop working?

Just ordered a new battery. $70.00!!! Ouch!!!
It does come with a battery charger for use with a Mini USB, but still, $70.00 is a lot of money!!
I will update with the results after i charge it up.

I got the new battery and put it into the charger. As I mentioned in an earlier post the new battery came with a separate charger for use with a mini usb. At first I had problems. The charger would not charge the new battery. I was using a wall connected mini usb to power the charger. So I went to the computer and tried the mini usb from there. It still would not charge. So I took the battery out of the charger and put it into then phone and went back to the wall charger and it was charging. I could feel the phone vibrate and then saw the battery meter slowly fill with green and back to empty and then fill green again.
So I decided to do a few other chores around the house and went to check the charging status after about 10 minutes. I noticed that the phone was on!! I did not turn the phone on. No one else was in the house to turn it on. It was just on. Weird.
So I took the battery out of the phone and decided to try the new charger again with the computer mini USB. It WAS charging this time!! I charged the new battery on this charger using the computer mini USB until the red light(charging) turned green (finished charging) and then put it in the phone. It works fine.
I then decided to put the defective battery into this charger and it was actually charging!! I left it overnight and it was green this morning: identifying it as a full charge.
When the new battery is down to 10% or less I will take it out and put the defective battery in and see what happens.

So I put the original battery back in after the green light came on identifying a full charge on the accessory charger.
It showed 1% and a message came up identifying that "the battery is low, please charge asap", something like that.
So, in my unprofessional opinion , the original battery is toast.
The new battery worked great after its initial charge using the included accessory charger.
When I decided to charge it using the phone itself with the wall charger I noticed some really weird things happening.
First of all you should know that I downloaded and installed Spoon Charge. Look it up here on the forums, free and works great. It basically tells you what charge level you have, temperature of the battery, what voltage is coming in to charge it and also type of charge the battery is doing: trickle, fast, very fast and on battery.You can set it to read reading at specific time intervals: I have it set to read at every second.
I noticed that the charge kept bouncing between very fast and trickle. At one point it went to on battery, then to trickle then to on battery then to fast.
Ok. Weird. . . I thought to myself.
So I let it continue to charge overnight.
The next day I "tried" to use the phone. it was as slow as it was at it's factory installed settings before I did the memory card fix, accelerator settings, and other fixes that I forgot now have forgotten that I have installed.
At this point I decided to drain the battery as fast as I could by turning on WiFi, Bluetooth, and play a movie at the loudest volume possible. As soon as it reached 10% I took the battery out and charged it with the accessory charger. The next morning I saw that the indicator light was green showing full charge and installed the battery in the phone. It booted up and I immediately received a message that the battery was low, saw 1%.
Knowing that this was a BRAND NEW BATTERY, I turned off the phone and took the battery out and waited a few seconds until I put it back in and rebooted the phone.
This time it said 86% charge!!!!!!
WTF!!!!
So I tried to use the phone and it was as sluggish as before. After about 25 minutes it was starting to be a bit faster but nothing like it was before.
I am really confused now. Since I have a new battery I have ruled out that as a problem. So now is it the phone itself? Could it be the wall charger that is faulty?
Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Another update.
I put the original battery in the phone and now it works!!!! The old battery that would not charge now charges and works!!!
The phone is not the same. Still really slow, can't get it out of the "LOCKED" position when I want to answer a phone call. Opera is sliggish then fast then sluggish. Not what I had the phone at before all of this started. It actually WAS stable. It WAS useable. Now I want to throw it into the drink!!!!!!
Not sure what to think anymore.

well bro go into the system help of ur mobile press as i say
2ce the end button one time call button, 2ce the end button one time call button,one time end button and u will find the problem it is in the charging port the same issue with me
