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.

Flashing red led of death

Hi everyone, yesterday I took my G1 from my pocket (after using it normally for some hours) and it was turned off. I thought the battery was dead (I left it at about 20% charge) so I tried to turn it back on and surprise...no vital signs at all. The phone didn't turn on, and the led was dead. After losing half of my hair, I tried removing the battery and placing it back. Now the phone behaves like this; when I press the power button, as long as I keep it pressed the led flashes red and that's it. When I stop pressing the power button the led stops flashing. When I plug the usb cable, the led gives a solid red and stays like that forever.
Please someone tell me it's just a screwed up battery...please

Probably bad battery. It is certainly worth it to at least try another battery -- they're dirt cheap anyways, or better yet, BORROW one.

* Solid green (when connected to the power adapter): The battery is fully charged.
* Solid red (when connected to the power adapter): The battery is charging.
* Flashing red: The battery is low and needs to be charged.
* Flashing green: There is a new notification.

Leave it to charge for 30 minutes or so, then try to power on. should be okay

better to charge from ac power if u can

Its possible your charger could be faulty.

I have the same problem, has anyone found a solution?

Try leaving it charge for a good hour, or just go out and try a new battery, could just be dead.

sometimes if a battery gets to low it wont even charge... not just for phones but cameras too and so on..... iv had to do this to cell phones and cameras.... take a usb cord you dont care about and cut it and expose the red and black wires..... look for the positive on your battery and negative, usually its marked, how positive to positive and negative to negative for 30 seconds to a minute while its plugged into the computer then, pop the battery back into the phone and try to charge..... everytime iv had to do this for a freind or something of my own the battery has lasted over a year after with no problems.... just a suggestion

Thanks for the suggestions. I had already ordered a new battery and the phone boots up with it but it won't charge on or off and usb isn't recognized either. I tried wiggling the plug around to see if it was some kind of loose connection but it doesn't appear to be the case. I may take the phone apart and see if anything is loose but otherwise I'll just have to enjoy the last 30% battery of G1 time I have.

Nexus 4 shows blinking red led after 30 sec power-press, wont boot/charge.

This morning after charging it overnight my phone suddely wouldn't start anymore. I've read a lot of threads where the phone just shows a red blinking led when inserting power. Mine doesn't show anything when I plug it in to ac/usb. However when I push the power button the red light shows after about 30 seconds and keeps blinking for as long as I keep power button pushes.
I already opened up the back panel and dis/reconnected the battery, doesnt work.
I tried charging for several hours but this doesn't seem to work either.
I have a desktop dock and upon placing my phone the dock indicates my phone is connected to it (blue light on dock) but it doesn't do anything even if I leave it in there for a few hours. I bought my phone at a reseller in the netherlands because it isn't sold here. What to do now?

Mine did that and it took being plugged in for a good 15 minutes before it did anything, even then it turned on then immediately turned itself off. I had to wait an hour before it would turn on and stay on. The entire time with a blinking red light.

Problem is, it does not(!) blink at all when it's on usb/ac. It's been on ac for hours now and nothing happens. When I press power after 30 seconds it starts blinking for as long as I have the button pushed.. strange but true. Anyway.. I'll just leave it charging for 24 hours or so..

Also try another ac charger, USB wont supply enough power to get it going I dont think, and maybe there is something wrong with your home charger...

Thanks for the advice. I just switched my ac charger but it doesn't seem to make much of a difference (yet).. I'll keep you posted!

I had the same problem with you ! could you turn on your phone now?

I just couldn't figure it out so I just packaged it and I'm sending it off to the repair service later today... It should be back in 10 workdays.. lucky for me I still have my Galaxy Nexus

phone wont turn on, just blinking green light

the phone wont turn on, any time I plug it into the charger the green light just blinks. If I hold the volume down and plug it in, I get in fast boot, but anytime I hit start it starts blinking green again and wont do anything. Any tips on how to get the phone powered up?
Thanks,

in my opinion, it looks like it wont charge. Is there any way to get around this?
Thanks

Usually leaving plugged in wall charger helps.

Same problem here. I left it charging overnight and nothing.

Mine did this too, the charge port was fried. The turbo 2 is wireless enabled, pick up a wireless charger. I also got Velcro strips, one on the charger, one on the back of my phone. So it stays in place

I had the same problem two weeks ago. I took it to a nearby phone repair shop. The battery was fried/dead.
Green blinking light means that your phone has 0% battery and can't get out that state. In my case the battery was not "absorbing" charge at all. Batteries are pretty cheap in eBay and there are tutorials in eBay. In my case I paid $40 to have it replaced.

Motorola Droid Turbo 2 - phone won't turn on, green blinking light
This has happened to me three time so far. The first time that this happened to me it was December 2016 and it was due to the charging port which was fried. I bought a wireless charger, got the phone to turn on, and sent the phone to be replaced.
The second time this happened was December 2017. The wireless charger did not help and neither did the wall charger. I waited a few days for the battery to completely drain, plugged the phone in and it turned on with 34% battery.
The third time that this happened (same phone from December 2017) was today, January 2018. Verizon will not replace the phone if it will not turn on and I won't send it in without removing my information.
My only advice is to let it completely die and then try to turn it on and plug it in. Then never buy a Motorola Droid Turbo 2 again, because it is a piece of **** phone.

Nexus 6P RED Light Of Death?

Hello,
I was on a phone call earlier today and my 6P (Nougat 7.0 stock, EX kernel, 90% off charge before the call) turned itself OFF and the notification light was blinking red. I tried starting it as usual, using the power button, to no avail. I tried plugging it in to the OEM power cable, also to no avail. I plugged it into my computer using the OEM USB cable; still nothing. Nothing I did would elicit any response from the phone at all. I checked online, and tried power button plus down volume technique. Nothing. Even after keeping it connected to the stock OEM charger for more than an hour, the screen is still blank and notification light is still blinking red.
Q: Is the battery or motherboard dead? Should I leave it for an over night charge and see if it boots backup? Or should I RMA it without warranty?
Any help on this would be extremely helpful.

I have only had that issue once where the phone said 40% but suddenly died and blinky red light but plugged it in and then screen flashed that it needed charging then was able to turn it on after a minute. Maybe your charger is not working or that you need to RMA if you have rooted your phone or anything I've never had an issue of it destroying warranty. With Nexus or HTC.

I did an RMA and sadly, no I couldn't find out what went wrong. If your device has the R.O.D I suggest you RMA it.

My Nexus 6P did the same thing... Just turned off and the notification light blinked red. I can't turn it on. Charging seems to work since current is passing to the phone (via USB current meter). But won't turn on. In your post, what is R. O. D.? Did you ever figure out what went wrong? Should I get a technician to look at it or just buy a new phone? My warranty expired about a month ago and Huawei wont do anything for me. Thanks

FWIW - i fixed mine...
Perhaps different set of variables but i woke to find my 6p doing the red blink shuffle. power button, 2 blinks i believe, plug to charge, constant blinking.
what worked for me- unplugged, help vol + and power for 15 seconds, blinked once maybe 10seconds in. afterwards, plugged to power, showed charging icon, no blinks. let it charge and all was back to normal. (this is with unlocked bootloader, not sure on other specs as it was a backup device and i have forgotten. when i get home, if anyone requires, i can post exacts on it, though doubt it will be necessary)

I have the same issue but tried the steps you said and no dice. I even took it to a local service center recommended on Hauwei's website and they didn't have a clue. Any recommendations on where to sell it for parts?

Literally the same thing happened to me. Constant blinking, when I hold down the power button 2 blinks. *Heart Attack* This frickin happening 2 days before my holiday, but doing what you've said above worked. Observing it going from 0% to 9% in the bootloader as I type this.
Could this be a symptom of something worse? Like the charger part of the motherboard giving out? Because I've had this phone on charge for a few good hours through the night, where it managed to die and stop charging.

old thread here. but just to add to it for any new folks that come across this problem. I bought a new battery and replaced it. And still only get the red light of death. So it has to be something other than the battery.

Same for me, new charge board and new battery and no change.
The power and volume trick doesn't work for me.
If I plug the charger in the red light stops blinking but it still doesn't turn on.
If I leave it unplugged for long enough it goes back to the red light blink so it's obviously draining the battery even thought it doesn't appear to be powered up.

This only happened to me once. Battery died and the phone shut down. Charged it for an hour on oem charger and it would only flash the red light. I had to charge it from my laptop usb port and for some reason that did the trick
