My BA sometimes doesn't charge from USB sync + charge cable. When I connect it, PDA shows "Charging" and LED flashes, but battery doesn't charge... But sometimes all is OK!
And because my charger is at home, at work i need to charge using my cable :S Can someone explain me, why my phone doesn't charge sometimes? I have tried to make Hard Reset, but the problem still exist... And this situation is not predictable, so I don't know, when my PPC will charge, and when it wont...
I've also tried to use AC -> 5v USB adapter with my cable, problem exists too...
PS. BTW, now my BA charges from USB, but at morning its battery was 0% (all night it was connected to USB cable and showing "Charging...")...
Help please
P.P.S. Sorry for my English.
Here is my thoughts - this happened to me
If I connect my USB/sync cable to a PC at home it charges fine, but I also have a laptop with a PCMCIA USB2.0 card and when I connect the XDA to this, it says charging, but is not :!: exactky the symptoms you describe. I have had both batteries completely discharge in this way and everything was wiped out.
I think that my PCMCIA card does not generate enough current to actually charge the battery, but since it is cannected via USB, the phone is foolled into thinking it is charging. I have verified this by connecting to the USB1.1 port on my laptop motherboard & it charges OK
Yes, I also think so, but sometimes it charges! :?
I will try active USB hub, maybe it will help? :roll:
P.S. I also bought AC charger, but when I use it power LED sometimes light RED but not orange :? Is it normal? Battery charges OK.
Hi,
Anybody has any idea what can cause phone not to charge? I will connect USB charger and phone would not recognize that charger is connected (amber light would not come on etc).

could be a bad usb cable...
This is because custom wiring in there charging cables, reset the device with the cable plunged in and it should start.
I've also seen that my phione stops charging when the temperature gets too high. If I wait a while for it to cool off, I can continue to charge it.
Hi I bought some days ago a "Patrick PowerBank 5200mAh" from a local shop and unfortunately the receipt is gone.
As obvious the bank doesn't work properly and if it's broken I'm f...ed.
I explain you what happens. The bank has a red led and a blue led, red led has to be on when the battery is low and when it is recharging, blue led has to be on when it's fully charged.
I have a Sony MT27i with a 5VDC output alimentator and when i plug the bank in it it never change red to blue led (also after 48h). In addition the phone recharge is very very slow with the bank: sometimes I can see battery drain when it's plugged.
There's any chance to make it work or is broken? I never tried to charge the bank from USB computer. Thanks.
TECHNICAL SPECS:
Wall alimentator out: 5V/850mA
Power bank in: 5V/1A
Power bank out: 5V/1A

Hello, for about 4 months I'm charging the phone with and magnetic Usb cable, today I've bought another one for my other phone and I tested the cable on the Z1 compact and the screen got blank the phone won't power on when pressed the button, I tought I ve bricked the phone, or the battery. Anyway I've pressed volume up and power for about 5-10 seconds and the phone turned on. It seems it works with no problems it charges, BUT the charging led doesnt work anymore. If I recieve a notification it works, all the colors (tested whatsapp, sms, calls), only when I plugged it to charge the led is off.
L. E : I've measured the pins and the new bought cable has the positive switched with the negative. ?
Any suggestions?

Don't use cheap crap.
It started working again . It was my mistake that I didn't checked the polarity of the cable. I will reverse the polarity of the cable.
My z1 compact is not charging through the usb connector and whenever I charge it there is no lightning bolt indicator indicating that its charging and also the stamina mode icon beside the battery disappears whenever I plug it.
I never submerged it in water nor it was dropped or had any kind of damage, the only thing I suspect is the charger I am using, I am not using the default charger rather I am using a samsung charger, 1st I had it checked to a friend of mine who is a cellphone technician and a very good one, he told me that xperia phones especially z series are prone to this kinds of damage when using other charger or class a replica chargers, then I recalled that I was indeed using a fake charger and remembered that during that time there was a sudden disconnection of electricity or sudden blackout and sudden reconnection of electricity, fake charger cant handle sudden electricity changes so it might had and impact on my phone, so I sent it to sony center and waited for 3 weeks (minimum waiting time) then I received a call from them to pick up my phone but it was not repaired because the problem is in the board and it would be xpensive to repair (I have no more warranty) like buying a new unit they said,my phone still connects to my pc and I noticed that when I charge it my battery is not discharging but also not charging fast enough because I was charging it for 24 hours and it only went up for 1%, from 7% to 8%, then I left it for another 24 hours but the percentage is not moving up, I can still connect it through my pc though, who does have this kind of problem?
also will my phone charge when I charge it through the magnetic dock?I dont have any friends who have a magnetic dock so i cant check it and if I will buy one and it does not work then its another waste of money,since sony cant fix it anymore does that mean that my phone now will just be a paper weight,i am really disappointed,hope somebody could help me..tia

Do you know anyone with a Sony phone and see if their charger works on your phone?
Seems likely that your Samsung charger might have damaged the usb port, but the magnetic charging port is separate.
The cost of a magnetic clip will be cheaper than a new phone or sending it back for repair. Also using the magnetic clip saves ware and tare on the waterproof usb cover that you keep pulling off/on to charge it.

the charger I was using works on my moms z1 and also the xperia charger that came with my z1 compact works on my moms z1..
I already bought a magnetic charger and checked it first on my moms and it works fine but on my z1 compact its just like when I plug it in the usb port,still no charging bolt icon,the stamina mode icon on the battery disappears,I guess it realy is a board problem,my phone is useless now,this is a very bad experience for me and I love sony products,use to have x8 to x10 mini phones but theyre dependable,not like what I have experienced with the z1 compact,I think I will not buy anymore sony products

I don't know how you can blame Sony when you plug the wrong charger into your phone

well its quite simple, other phones are not "sensitive" like this,other brands like samsung,lg even htc and blackberry doesnt have any problems when using other charger besides the charger that came with it,I can prove that because I also own other brands,if Sony's items are so premium then why is it so sensitive like that? are they using cheap parts but sell their products at a high price because theyre struglling you know thats why they sold their vaio brand and will not make anymore laptops,next would be the smartphones,and its just not me,I found out that I am not alone in experiencing this problems,o well,better move on,it has been great sony,tnx
I have the same problem with charging. It start 2 days ago, and I was using only Sony charger, but it just stopped charging. In one moment I heat it up with a hair drier and it start charging , and when it gets cold it stopped. I heat it up again and start charging again. :/ This is more than unusual !!! :/ What it could be?

this is related to this problem http://forum.xda-developers.com/son...ttery-reporting-phone-dying-suddenly-t3095120
It will be solved with battery substitution.
Mine won't charge, stuck on 50%, when connected even the red light isn't on, you can see in the image
I bought a used Z1 compact and it didn't come with a charger. Used my LG and wouldn't charge. Tried different leads still not charging using adapter charger via usb port. Began charging using usb on laptop? Then used my wifes apple charger via usb port and charging!
I use the standard charger (the one with 2 'lumps' on the cable, but occasionally another cable (whichever lands in my hand). All ok until 6 months ago, when I replaced the battery . It was Ok for a while, but then I had to start using the magnetic charger.
Today I checked the usb charge point for dust etc., and now it is charging on its own usb charger! I happened to use a needle, but don't recommend it. Maybe a plastic toothpick, or cocktail sausage stick? A toothpick is too big, and might leave splinters.
z1 compact d5503 wont charge or turn on
i bought this model off ebay and rooted it and installed the custom rom and it's working beautifully...until i used it to 0 power. the charger then wouldn't charge it. i waited an hour and nothing, i got the three vibrations when i hit power and up but the nothing again. my solution...i rummaged through my old chest and found another micro sd charger. put it in and BAM the red light at the top went solid. my problem was the charger cable.
