Hi all,
My battery stats are staying at 0% all of the time, vibrate on keypress doesnt work and when I plug my phone in to charge while the device is on it doesn't recognize that the phone is charging although it does hold the charge.
this started happening to my I9505 after I had flashed the Google 4.3 ROM. My screen went black and wouldnt turn on again - but I could tell that the device was working because the tone was playing when I moved the volume button up and down. So I took the battery out, plugged back in and I lost my battery stats and started experiencing this charging issue.
When I flashed back to stock, the battery stats appeared to come back and I thought all was back to normal until the exact same thing happened again and I am now back to square one.
Can anyone advise? Is this my USB connector? The phone doesn't say its charging on its own like my old S2 did...
Thanks and Regards,
Dave
Can anybody offer any assitance on this?...

Has anyone ever had an issue where by their battery life is at say 59% and when i plug it in to charge rather than the blue charging icon appearing it just showing the battery being 100% and the LED doing successive double flashing as opposed to a static LED like i should be if it was charging?
I've not installed anything, flashed a new rom etc, was fine yesterday.
All i did was have a little play with CHTEditor.
somethings not right, it must be something to do with me messing about with CHTEditor
out of the blue my lock screen had gone, and it says i have a voice mail waiting when i dont. haha
Hard reset i think
update...
hard reset not worked...uhoh
Same problem here
I was in a phone call an al of a sudden everything just went black and rebooted. Turns out the phone stopped charging and flasing green and red. Battery ran out of power and the phone shut down. After the reboot the phone charged normally again
Another situation:
Phone started acting up again and endend in a reboot. Battery was empty and i made a phone call on the charger. during the phonecall the same problem happend again, but the battery was at 9%. I intended to unplug the charger and plug it back in, but after the unplug the battery jumped to 0% and shut down.
So, i think the battery is acting up. Having to charge the thing every damn day is finally taking it's toll.

yep, using the original battery, it seems to be ok now, charging as it should.
ahh well. cheers for the reply
one last this, how the hell to i get the lock screen back, i think im being dim.
edit
sorted
I have a program BsB Tweaks that has a setting for the lockscreen. Try that.
My phone is also charging fine when turned off, also it functions fine at the moment. i think it has something to do with overloading the device when the battery is low. Based on that its not possible to turn on any phone when the battery is in attached but the power is, i think everything is drained from the battery while charging it and that when overloading the battery just doesn't pull it anymore.
i don't have a alternative battery, mine is original.
What are the symtoms when the battery is at the end of it's life? does it do this, or is it supposed to give a warning or something?
edit: i am unable to find a manual page describing the different modes the LED could be blinking. I'm curious what is says about the red and green blinking mode. Does such a page exist?
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
My phone just went dead yesterday, while playing tiny tower. Suddenly turned off, and would not turn back on. When I connect the charger, the led in in the speaker blinks. When the charger is not connected, the phone is completely dead. And it does not respond to anything either way. I don't know if this is rom related. Probably not? I'm thinking returning it to the shop, and hoping for the best is my only option, unless someone here has a better idea.
Update: I tried turning it on, connected to the charger, but without the battery in. It starts. So I guess the battery died? Suddenly and completely?
What happens if you turn it on without battery in and then insert battery?
Mine did a similar odd thing when I first wiped battery stats. Was playing angry birds to drain battery right down and it turned off, but would not start. LED just blinked when power was in. I just had to plug it in and unplug it a bunch of times and it finally started charging.
I did wipe battery stats last week, but have been through a few drain/recharge cycles since then. When I start with the charger connected and insert battery it gets past the boot animation and then shuts off. I tried with a different battery yesterday, and it worked fine. When you say plug it in and unplug, do you mean connecting and disconnecting charger, just repeatedly?
yeah, was just plugging and unplugging a lot and it finally worked. If another battery worked then that would seem to be the fix.
Will try that. Thanks!
Managed to get it to start by putting the battery in after starting with just the charger first. Had to try a bunch of times before it worked. Been charging now for 5 hours, but it never gets past 10% charge on the battery? Do I just let it keep charging or is there some other way to fix it?
That happened to me in the day I bought my phone. It only started with the charger plugged in (and with no battery).
I thought the problem was in the battery, but in the store they tried with a new battery and the phone did not connect. So they replaced and everything is fine (since September).
Hey guys, just started seeing some odd behavior today. My phone is currently 73% charged and when I went to top it off I noticed the LED was flashing strangely. Turning the screen on and checking the lockscreen I noticed that it was constantly going from Charged to Charging, back and forth. It didn't seem to actually be charging at all.
I tried two different adapters and cables then a cold boot. It started charging normally for a few minutes, then started doing this again. Does that sound like a bad USB connection on the phone's end?

Sounds like a dodgy battery to me.
Does it show the same behaviour when you plug it in with the phone turned off? If not, then it could be the ROM you are running, especially if you have dirty flashed different ROMS.
If its the battery, you can get replacements or just send the phone back. Try running it right down too and fully recharging. I had a similar problem on my Sensation and it turned out to be the battery. There are threads on how to remove the back cover and replace the battery. But avoid opening it unless you have no recourse with Google / your supplier.

Thanks, I'll let it run down today. I am running AOKP but haven't flashed anything recently and this just started today.

A better test would be to see what it does when its turned off and charging. If its staying fully charged, then its 99% software issue. But batteries can be shyte. Esp if yours is an early model which the batteries are about 7-8 months old now.
Hope you narrow it down m8
This is a really stupid question, but what SHOULD happen when it's turned off and plugged in? I've never had it off before since getting it.
Plugged into charger #1: Charging icon with lightning bolt briefly, screen off, then icon of battery filling up, screen off. Screen kept going on and off.
Plugged into charger #2: Charging icon with lightning bolt briefly, screen off, then icon of battery filling up, screen off and has been off since.
It did charge to 100% (while turned on) on charger #2 last night, but I've also seen it do the Charged/Discharging dance on this charger once as well.
Hi! I am asking for my friend regarding this weird battery problem he is facing.
His Note 4 (SM-N910G) could be like 70+% then out of the blue, it just black out and didn't even bother shut down properly. Then plugging in back the charger, the phone says his phone is currently 0% already on the bootloader charging screen.
Then he could not turn on his phone immediately or else it will black out again when turning on. He have to wait for the charger to charge the battery awhile before switching it on.
He already tried a new battery and the same thing happens.
