X10a wont turn on !

MY phone died the other night and wouldn't charge. It blinks red when plugged in and will blink numerous times when you press power. Sometime when its plugged in and i press power it will only blink red once.
Its rooted with 024. Im screwed eh?
Also im with Rogers in Canada

I vaguely remember having this sort of problem before.
What was happening was the cable wasn't working properly for some reason, and my phone wasn't drawing enough power to charge. Therefore it not working, and the red flashing light. It wasn't actually charging.
Is it plugged in to charge via AC or USB? It might not be drawing enough power if it is charging through USB.
If it is charging though AC, have you left it to charge overnight? If a Li-ion battery enters a state of deep discharge, it may take a while for it to charge enough for the phone to be able to power on. This shouldn't be the case though, the battery should have failsafes to prevent this from happening.
If neither of these things do anything, I'd try either swapping the wall adaptor and/or the usb cable or the phone battery itself, and if those things work, you're out of luck.
Hope that helps.

Have tried two wall chargers different outlet and my two pcs. left it overnight twice. Im screwed lol

Tell Rogers that one of their Sales Reps burnt the phone while trying to show you how to charge it

Im going to take it back to walmart it is only 3 week old

I had the same issue with mine... it completely died out and would not start charging. Found it weird the phone couldn't be charged while being powered off (my old KRZR could do it)....
Anyway, I called up Rogers and told them the situation and they exchanged it with a new one. I don't let the phone go below 5% now in fear of it not being able to charge if it the battery is completely drained XD

was your phone rooted?

No... it was on the original firmware and all...
For some reason I forgot you rooted it when you replied. Rogers might not want to exchange it... Wal-Mart on the other hand will probably not even look at it and just exchange it.
Other option could be to buy a new battery?

it actually looks as if the usb port itself is chipped.

ok, i had the same problem with my old SE phones.
everytime i tried to charge it, it did not charge. other phones were charging thru same cable.
the problem in the OS.
what i did is upgraded thru SEUS.
try to plug it to PC thru USB cable without battery. then go thru procedure as u would go for upgrade and then put the battery back.
it might not work if your battery complitely dead, thought worth a try

Yea, cant connect to seus

your batter yshould be fine. it's just dead.
dont buy any battery just yet. i would replace the phone if i were u. without spending extra bucks.
this is the quickets solution i can think of.
however, for the future reference i will buy me extra battery just in case
good luck

Just had it turn on and it said less than 2% remaining connect to charger. It was connected. This happened before and it just shuts off.

yeah mine would open from time to time but instantly shut down also. Seems like it didn't have enough time to detect it was plugged in...
try returning it

This may sound weird but it worked for me. Try taking out the memory card and leave it out and plugging it in.

Yea. I tried every combination. Brought it to walmart qndvthey gave me a new one. 30 day replacment woo. Im nervous to root now

same problem... no solution ?

Hi, I'm new to the forum and I found this topic is describing the same problem I have. I bought an x10 mini pro (U20a) unlocked and it doesnt turn on with my service provider SIM, but if I try another service provider SIM card or without SIM card, it turns on normally. It's the same behavior, cause it wont charge either. Other users are reporting the same problem in SE support forums and it is related to X10, X10 mini and X10 mini pro. It seems to be related to software since a factory reset or a repair using PC Companion solves the problem partially, but for some users the problem starts again when their batteries dries out and want to charge their phones. In case anyone find a solution that really works, please post it here.

I'm disappointed because I have the exact same problem, but I'm outside of AT&T's 30-day return period (and they're being typical idiots about the issue). They have no replacement batteries (of course) so I've had to request one directly from SonyEricsson, which will take 5 business days to deliver. (!) Hopefully, this will resolve the issue; however, before you returned your phone to Walmart, I noticed that you thought you had a problem with a chipped mini-USB port. Do you know if that was part of the problem?

[Q] Strange battery issues

Hi all. I got my phone about 1 1/2 months ago, and I always thought that my phone charged slowly. I remember one time when using 4g and connected to the wall charger, it only added about 1-2% after 2 hours. Recently, there are some times when I go to charge after a day and the phone tells me "battery not connected" and the battery icon on the top bar flashes red. I also have a battery widget which says failure whenever this happens.
Is this an issue with the battery or the phone? Is this something that can be fixed by samsungs warranty? My 30 days are up.

I forgot to mention that after turning the phone off, taking out the battery, and turning it back on, all the phone appears to be fine. The problem comes back eventually, though.

Does anyone have an answer? Does anyone else have the same problem?

Sounds like a hardware issue.

That's a problem with the battery. I ordered the chinese batteries from Ebay and one of the batteries never connects - it can only be charged through a wall charger. Try a new battery and see if that helps.

Ok, should I try to contact samsung for a new battery, or should I just go ahead and buy a new one? Is the battery covered by warranty?

Hey flhurricane - man - could be either or both now.
I'd find a Sprint Retail store nearby with a repair center and try and get some advice from the guys that get these types of questions more often. They'd know if it was the battery or hardware, and might be able to swap you a battery on the spot just to see. I think Sprint may be revamping the repair policy so go talk to them - if it needs repair - you may be able to get a good deal if you're past 30 days and can't return at no cost. I think they dropped all repair charges down to $35. See here.
Not sure what Samsung offers for hardware issues on undamaged phones, but again, the local repair center could give some more direction.

Samsung focus will not recharge?

So.. I have been spending more time with my hd desire.... but I had some major issues with my new focus. It froze on me once or twice (windows ) and it randomly restarted.... but the most troubling aspect is it is not charging.... the first day I had it... I left it on the usb cord... the ENTIRE night.... it did not charge at all?!!
So last night, I did a reset and tried a wall charge... nothing... then I did a FULL format/hard reset and back into the wall overnight.... now it is at 40%
what gives? I know no phone could take 28 hours to charge? Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated... I tried the battery pull, restarting etc
thx
update: I called samsung and they said take it in to my carrier, they will send it out? Rogers does not know anything about these phones yet?

Return the phone and get a new replacement while you can. Obviously a hardware defect. If you wait past 30 days, you will have to settle with refurbs for your warranty replacement.

I bought it from Ontario but I live in Winnipeg, they said I had to bring it back to the orignal store for replacement... and there are no focus here.... pretty lame so far!
hahaha, rogers says I did not buy it from them.... the imei # does not match, so I have to go through samsung, samsung says they do NOT repair or exchange phones and I have to go through rogers or the store of purchse.... which is not possible, cheaper to buy another phone then fly to ontario
samsung is crap, never again.

If you did actually buy it from a Rogers store and you have a receipt to prove it, then you can contact customer service and speak to a supervisor. They will arrange for you to ship it to them and they will ship you back a new unit.

So, for all of you that has a normal working phone... any freezes/issues? I am guessing all my problems were from some hardware issue
I liked typing on the phone....

I had this exact problem with my phone the first few days I had it.. let it charge over night and it still showed an empty battery and gave me the warning beep every few minutes.. i was about to take it back to the store to replace it when i came across a set of instructions for entering diagnostic mode and listing the battery details (sorry i forget the exact sequence of keys but you should find it on here). All of the battery details were 0 or none which confirmed there was an issue.. after exiting this diagnostic mode the battery started registering correctly.. no problems since..

wish I seen this before I sent it back, Hhahaha, I will have my friend try it out... thx

Bad USB Cable?
I wonder if it was just a bad USB cable?
Charging the phone by USB to PC is CRAP! I tried to charge it that way over an afternoon, and the charge meter barely moved. Switched to using the wall plug, and the battery charged fairly quickly.
D

I tried the wall charger for 12 hours..... tried it all.... thx

update: I went to lunch with a friend... he was late, so I went into a rogers plus store... she had 1 in stock... so I bought it, brand new, sealed $671.... yesterday I did my best to kill the phone, now... 3 hours later the phone is not charging at all and I had to pull the battery, just like my used one.... so now, after the battery pull and being plugged into the wall charger... it just has the battery symbol with the plug on it.....
If I can get into the phone, i will try the dianostic thing, but seriously? wtf, but now I have the receipt... and a 15 day return policy.... but come on, I just want a windows 7 phone that works?
did the battery thing.... lots going on over the 3 pages... not sure what I was looking for... although, I seen the battery go from 1 to 2... maybe it is charging now.... will update soon, but this is pretty weird for a brand new phone?
** did a soft reset, battery pull... charged for awhile... still not moving, I go into the battery thing again... now it says 10%.... so I get out of there and see some battery charge.... but it has been on there for awhile and has not moved... so I go back in, now it says 29%.... screwy stuff, I will see what it says after being on the wall charger all night.

How many have sent N4 in for repair?

Title pretty much says it all. Also, could you state what you sent it in for? I currently am having issues with it thinking it's charging when it's actually not, and am considering calling LG to send it in for repairs.

what do you mean by charging when its actually not? is it charging USB when its plugged into the wall?
plug it in the wall and then check about phone -> status.... does it say charging (USB) instead of charging (AC)?

nah, when it's unplugged the phone thinks it's charging. battery icon has the lightning symbol, lockscreen says charging

sounds like a software problem. flash a custom rom and kernel (optional)
not worth RMAing it just for that. if it still does it, then flash it back to stock and u may RMA if all else fails.

I read that you have one year of waranty.
My N4 have the same problem, but I dont know if Google accept it with the bootloader unlocked however I think my phone is fried, so, how can they know if phone even turn on..>>?

i sent mine in, dropped it and got a crack in the screen and the touch stopped working. Hopefully I'll have it repaired soon. Not covered under warranty because it was physical damage.

Unable to boot up, Red light when charging issue

I have been unable to boot up my letv 1s device, I have tried everything listed on this forum and other forum to boot up my letv device. Including removing the battery and reconnect them back again.
Recently, I tried to repair it to local phone repair shop, they told me it needs a battery replacement. I bought the battery from aliexpress and replaced them, but it still doesnt boot up.
The repair shop gave up and gave me back the phone and told me the EMMC is weak (I'm not sure about this).
I disassembly the phones and try to figure out the problem, I am guessing the problem might be with the charging board, I am posting the video here hoping someone pro could help me solve the problem. I'm guessing its the charging board because everytime I connect the device to the PC, it kept reconnecting when I tried to FLash a new ROM.
Here are the video of the board kept reconnecting when I tried to connect them to PC

Here is the picture of the charging module board

I really hope someone with more experience could give me more insight about this, thanks.
PS: Please dont ask me to charge the phone again with original adapter and cable, because thats the first thing I tried and I charge it for more than 24 hours already (I even tried to buy a new adapter and usb type-c cable). Oh and I tried connecting to PC with the battery connected also, and it kept reconnecting.

Hi, I also have same problem, but still no solution.

Hi @casper2201 , @softkans and any one with the same issue,
I too had the same issue. It started with the charging rate becoming too slow (1% increment in 25 minutes of charging). I switched off the phone and left to charge for around 35 hours straight and came to find it 79% charged. Then I tried flashing the LOS14 after LOS13 ROMs but in vain. I also fiddled with the Kernel Adiutor, still no help. The charge won't increase when the phone is on so I left it to discharge until it switched off. Then the main issue showed up with red light always on when charging and blank screen.
I also posted about it here, but no one replied. Then I took a leap of faith and went to a local repair shop. He confirmed that it was a hardware problem and the charging module needs to be replaced. Just now I am coming from the shop itself after picking up my phone. Its working fine till now *fingers crossed*. He charged me ₹1300 ($20) which is a little high for the service but it doesn't matter as he was the only one ready to open it as there was the risk of cracking the screen.
So, summing it up, if you have the same problem as that of mine then you need to replace your charging module and I think it will be fine.
Charging module replaced.
Current condition of phone.
The rubber bands will help the adhesive strengthen.
Thanks,
Abhishek

Yesterday when I was done with setting up my phone, I put it to charge and the same issue has come again. Its not charging and the "Red light of Death" is back. Today I'm going to the repair shop again and see what he can do now.
I think this is the end and there is no point throwing away more money on the device anymore.

Sir same thing happened with me....phone is not charging red light alert and display blank...please suggest me what can I do
I want my data back from that and its not starting my data is really very important I can't loose that
Help me and tell me what can i do so that my data will not loose and my phone starts

Remove display and disconnect battery. If it won't be alive again that's probably power management unit problem and you won't fix that way.
