Help! Ion refuse to turn on - Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion

Oh ****! After i birck my XPU, now my Ion refused to turn on.
My phone was running perfectly. Till one hour ago, I noticed my battery was not calibrated. At 22% exactly, it will shut down due to low battery. I went to charge it and it will boot normally. But the 22% problem is still there. About the third discharge, my phone refused to charge. The red LED light will shine for 5 mins and vanish. I power the button and there's one vibrate and nothing happens. The cycle continues. HELP!!!

Buy a new battery. But to make sure that it is the battery's problem: When buying, tell the vendor to test the phone for you with a new battery
Press thanks if I helped

Ok. Managed to fixed it. Open up the phone and replug the battery.

I might have killed my Battery (FIXED...for now)

Hey Guys,
I am running the Cell Pro 9.5 ROM and since yesterday my phone doesnt turn on.
So this is what happened, I never got a chance to recharge my phone yesterday and so I used it to the very last bit of juice. The phone kept switching itself off with the critical level battery warning and I kept turning it back on. So it got to a point where it wasn't switching on at all. So I pluged in the phone to the computer to charge and left it there for approximately an hour (the orange charging light was on), came back and tried to switch the phone back on and it didnt respond at all. Took out the battery, tried the soft reset button etc and everything else I thought of with no luck. So I plugged it back on and suddently it turned back on, did the boot up, loaded the touchflo and I saw the battery level was at "0" and then suddenly it turned of with a "tuck" sound (similar to a PC when you hold down the power button or turn the power off without shutting down). This has been repeating since then, I have left it plugged in and every 5-10 minutes or so the phone switches on by itself and shows the boot screen, go all the way till HTC animation and powers off suddenly. I have had no luck in turning the phone back on, I dont what is causing the issue - wether its the battery or the phone.
Please give me your thoughts....I am completely lost without my phone...
- issue was that the phone kept restarting as soon as the battery stored enough charge for a reboot. I pulled out the battery at one of the restart cycle as advised below and stopped it from repeating it. After that the phone let the battery charge without a restart, did not mess with it for a long while.
Never let the battery drain all the way down to 0%. Not sure if it affects the battery, but it sure will give you enough hassle that you wont repeat it.

The same thing happened to me last night... but mine works now. what I thought it was is that it kept turning on as soon as it had enough battery to do so then it would die and repeat... So every time it would turn on
I would take the battery out and let it charge some more and then when it quit turning back on I left it overnight and now its on...

Ok....I will try that and report back....
Sorry you pull the battery then the cord then put the battery back in then cord. Also it will take a lot longer if you charge it on the computer.
Never mind mine quit working again...

I managed to get it charging after pulling out the battery and putting it back again. Charged it through a computer cause i dont have my charger with me.
I turned it on and the battery said 40% and now every second or so it is dropping by 1%. I can literally watch it dropping down sitting here. The phone doesnt want to charge when it is on. I plug in the usb and the LED turns orange and then turns off. Now the battery is at 25%, This is litterally in about a minute or less. I dont know whats wrong, is it the Battery?
I had this exact same thing happen to me twice on previous HTC hardware (wizard). The first time I couldn't save it and just had to buy a new battery. However, the second time it happened I was able to resurrect it once I got it plugged into a higher-current charging source, like the wall charger it came with, or even most car chargers (that's how I saved it when I couldn't get to my wall charger). I had to let it sit on there for about an hour before it held enough charge to stay on, and another 2 hours before it was fully charged, but it worked just fine after that.
You battery may indeed be toast from what you describe. I have had the experience of totally discharging the battery and the device not coming on at all. I recommend that if you do this, you should fully charge it using the wall charger NOT the computer (if the computer works at all. it didnt in my case). I have done this a few times now and the battery turned out fine each time.

My issue seamed to be fixed. I had to rely on a computer as I didnt have access to my charger and by the time I did my phone was at approximately 65% charge. I plugged it in and charged it all the way to 100%. Replugged it and left it for a little more while to make sure it got charged completely. I have been using it since today morning 9am and now it is 2pm at 73% after couple of calls, messages and emails.
Few more charging cycles with the wall charger and I am hoping it will be back to normal.

Power Button/Battery issue.

Posting for a friend who has a D.
Today suddenly the battery went dead and the phone turned off.
It was completely unresponsive even with a charger plugged in. We took battery out and left charger in, the light was flashing so we plugged battery back in but the light stoped flashing.
Thinking it was a dead battery we left it 'charging' and after about an hour the light came back on and the battery seemed to be charging.
Ten minutes later the phone turned on automatically and seemed to be OK.
Battey stats showed a massive massive dive making us believe it was the battery.
Now, it seems, the power button is fooked. Its completely unresponsive in the OS and recovery to both long and short presses.
I take it this means its a hardware issue with the power button?
I'm also wondering if these two things are related or its coincidental that they happened at the same time?
Cheers.

Today during sleeping, similar thing happened to my desire. When I woke up, the light was flashing and battery was dead, even though my phone was on charger the whole night... weird...

[Q] Red light of dead (maybe hard brick?)

Hello, I was using my phone yesterday while charging, the battery was ~45% and it was working fine at all, then it suddenly turned off and isn't turning on again, only blinking the red led if the power on button is pressed while charging in the wall charger and glowing the red led without blinking if connected to a computer. If the button is not pressed, the phone just stays off. I don't know what to do, in other situations the phone's battery gone to 0% and blinked the red light without the button pressed and came back after some minutes charging, but this time I tried to charge it some times and nothing happened. Somebody knows what to do?
Thanks
Hello there! I had the same issue, I was playing a game and my phone had like 7%, suddenly it turned off.. And wouldn't turn on, and showed the red led.
What I did is to let it charge for 30 minutes or more, maybe 1 hour. And then it'll turn on, if not. Maybe you'll have to remove the battery and reinsert it back in. But for now just let it charge for a long time. It should turn on.

Yeah, it happened before with me, but it didn't came back this time. Took it to LG, they said it was a hardware problem and that it would took ~4 days to give me an answer, thanks for the help anyway.

+1 to this suggestion. I went through that before, and it definitely helps in many cases. But it sounds like the phone is in for repair with LG now, so it's a moot point...

So, got my watch today and first charge question

I got my watch today and went to charge it for the first time and it'll get to 10% and then it starts to discharge pretty rapidly. Anyone else have this issue or will it correct itself over night or something?
Another thing I've noticed is the moto360 gets a little hot when it starts discharging, maybe that's why?

Charge up first and THEN update to new OTA. Then your battery will improve a little each day.

I've already done the OTA. It started the download as soon as I turned it on basically.

What's your build number right now?
The latest should be 4.4W.1.
What you can try is to reset the watch, maybe that helps. That shouldn't cause that much damage as you probably don't have any data on the watch itself anyway.
Hard to reset it when you can't get it to turn on. It doesn't even show the charge indicator now. Just the backlight turning off and going dim
That doesn't sound right at all. Try a different charge cord with your dock. Mine started the update download as soon as it linked to my phone, after that it HAD to be charged to at least 80% before starting the actual update. After that it will charge from 10% to 60% in about 25mins or less.

It's been sitting on the charger now for ~4-5 hours since I started this thread. I took it off about 5mins ago to test it, it powers on and nothing. It acts like it wants to come on, but nothing happens. Just the backlight, then it dims and soon goes off. The charging white light has been lit while it was on the charger the whole time. And it won't even display the blue circle with the time while on the charger.
When I took it out of the box earlier this afternoon it came on, paired it and started downloading the update then shut off saying to charge it. I placed it on the charger and the blue circle ring appeared. It hit 10% and started draining 2% a second and shut off. It hasn't shown the charging screen again after that. Just lights up the black screen and goes off, that's it.
So one thing I noticed, I power the watch completely off. No backlight on at all and place it on the charger. After a few seconds it turns on, black screen just backlight turns on, and vibrates really quick. Then after a couple seconds it vibrates again, but longer than it does when just powering the unit on and then the screen dims.

[Q] Phone shuts down when using camera.

Hi
My phone has recently developed a fault. As mentioned above when I use the camera the phone shuts down as soon as I take a photo. If i do the same with the charging cable connected the camera works ok.
This happens even with the battery at a high level of charge. Has anyone else had this problem and if so how was it solved.
I should mention the phone is stock 4.4.4 htc sense 6.0 Software No 3.33.61.9. Api level 6.25
Thanks

I thought I would carry out a test to see if it is a battery problem so I fully charged the phone to 100% then just left it all day. Switched on and the screen saver on.
So 10am fully charged. 7:55 pm checked phone and it had shut down and would not turn back on. When I plugged in a charger the screen lit up with the charging battery symbol and showing 23%.
Imthink a phone should last more than 12 hours when not in use. Or am I wrong.

go into settings / apps / Camera and clear the data / cache
I had this problem with the OneX I tried what @CiSa suggested it worked for one picture then it did the same as you described I had to take it back to my network provider I bought it from. Hope clearing the data cache works for you of it dosnt you will have to send it back to where you got it from
I think this may be a general battery problem and not just related to the battery.
The phone is now just shutting down when the battery gets below 45%
I'm not sure if I have caused this because I put the phone on charge every night regardless of charge level and leave it on charge all night. .

That's how I charge my phone, every afternoon when i get home from work and again overnight when i go to bed ... never had a battery issue
Have you tried a hardware battery recalibration?
The battery calibration starts with the phone completely off. The steps are as follows: Charge the device for at least 10 minutes using the original charging cable in a wall outlet. With the device powered off while still plugged into the wall outlet, press and hold the volume up, volume down and power button for two full minutes. Use three fingers to hold these buttons and do not let go at any time. They will be held in at the same time for this to work. After two minutes, you can let go. At this point, the device should boot up and battery/charging logic will be re-calibrated.

I have also charged my phone to 100%, then booted to recovery and charged it to 100%, the shut the phone down completely and let it charge ti ll the green light comes on 100%. you'll be surprised how the 3 different modes read the battery differently
Also the only time I had the camera shut down the phone I just cleared the DATA it fixed it
Thanks for all your suggestions. I tried the hardware battery recalibration but the phone just kept switching on.
Anyway whilst trying to do this I noticed the screen has lifted about millimetre at the bottom right hand corner. Wild this cause the battery to discharge.
I am having the same issue with my HTC One m8 eye the phone just shutdown with I take a picture in lie light with the flash I tried restoring the phone but only works for a short time so old help
