Okay so recently i encountered a problem on my One V. When i plug it in for charging the light is orange for a few seconds and then it begins blinking the LED. not only that, the color changes too from orange to green and back to orange and so on. its not that big of a deal but what pisses me off is that the phone isn't charging... but DRAINING when plugged in. i tried : 4 a/c addapters ,4 plugs and 3 USB cables. same thing every damn time. any fix to this?
Have you tries flashing other Kernels...If not try it...If this doesn't work then get you phone replaced.!.!

This morning, my phone was dead. I tried plugging it in but found a blinking orange light. I tried turning it on but it wouldnt turn on. Does this mean there is a problem with my battery?
I've gone on several trips lately where I used my phone as a GPS. I just got a new dash mount for it. On those trips, I had noticed a blinking alternating orange and green light. I thought this meant it was charging and I had a notification, however, now that I do some searching it looks like it means overheating perhaps.
The orange blinking did turn solid after a while and I was able to boot my phone.
Could be a battery issue. If the phone is completely dead, it takes a few minutes on the charger before it can power on. Let it sit for like 5 - 10 minutes on the charger, and when the light goes solid it should be able to be turned on. You may want to invest in a new battery.

This is normal behavior for a completely drained battery. The phone will not turn on until it achieves partial charge (I'm not sure off-hand what %), and it will give you the flashing orange to let you know.
As you observed, once you charge it enough, it will turn on normally and everything is fine again.
As for the blinking you observed during navigation, that could have meant notifications while charging, as you suspected. It's also possible that you were overheating, but if so the phone would have stopped accepting charge and the battery icon would have changed to indicate such.
Thanks, it is working again now. I'll have to keep an eye on the battery life to see if it has really gotten worse.
In the car, I know there was one time where it got really hot. I held it next to the AC vent for a few minutes to cool it down. Also, my charger cable may be going bad. I noticed that eventhough I turn off the screen, sometimes it will randomly come back on. I figure maybe this is the cable getting disconnected and then reconnected.
This happened to me before and it turned out it was my charger not working properly. I even got a message multiple times saying that the charging accessory was not compatible but it was the the stock data cable. The problem turned out to be it didn't have enough voltage or something like that because it kept telling me to connect to a wall rather than through USB, while I was using the A/C adapter.

I'm pretty sure that a blinking orange light during use is a "hot battery" notification. On one trip, I had navigation going, while streaming XM and had the car charger plugged in. When I noticed the blinking orange, the temp was at 119F and really hot to the touch. I immediately stopped navigation and streaming, and unplugged from the charger. Since I had the air on, I removed the phone case and battery door and let the AC blow on the phone which cooled it down and the blinking stopped.

No. It doesn't do that. If you are charging, you get a solid red and no indication of notifications.
The blinking red/green means the battery is too hot and is not charging, as other people have confirmed.
Ok so everytime i turn my phone off to chager it will just turn back on. IT doesn't matter what percentage the battery is on
For Example:
1)the phone is on currently charging (44%) and i turn it OFF (with the charger still plug) it will just turn back on
2)My phone is off and i plug the changer it will just turn on
3)I let my phone die and i plug the charger on it will just turn back on

Similar issues
I have a rooted and lightly modded stock 2.3.6 but I've been having these issues ever since I rooted and I was on stock 2.3.5
1. Charger sometimes doesn't charge at all
2. If I'm on a call via bluetooth and I connect it, it won't charge until I hang up
3. My previous charger for my t959 was working for the 1st week and now it doesn't charge my phone at all.
4. after i plug in my phone to my oem charger it takes about 10 seconds to recognize it and then starts charging
I don't know what the hell this is but it's pissing me off. I've done a wiped dalvik and don't a clean install and nothing changes. I didn't have this problem the 1st week i had the phone but now on my 3rd week it's pissing me off.
I hope someone has an answer or at least a similar problem.
I think it is charging. It just not showing it is charging until your turn on the screen.
Happen to my phone too, but it is charging.
I would love it show the orange light when charging and green light on full charge.

Guys i am on Insert Coin Rom.
And tonight i ran out of battery and when i came home i put my phone on charger . And later switched it on and saw it is 21% and then again switched it off and then left it over charger and after few min i remove it from charger and tried to turn it on it doesnt turn on.
And now i charging it over usb at my pc and now red led blinking and it doesnt turn on too!!!
What to do?
This is something i havent herd of before...maybe another member can help you!
have you tried switching on with vol button to get into bootloader?
Red blinking LED means very low battery (not enough to power on the phone), best to charge it with wall plug for at lest 1hr and the phone should turn on again.
USB charging is very slow and might not work when red LED is flashing.
I don't think the phone will charge when switched off with clockworkmod recovery installed.
Don't worry, this happened to me before with custom ROM, just leave it plug in to wall charger and the phone will reboot after 1 to 2 hrs, then it will continue to charge normally.

This made the trick.
Hi yesterday my One X went down to 3% battery. When I pluged in the charging cable a pop up message said. more battery used than charged and the One X shut completely down. I tried to turn it on again but nothing happened.
Ok. I let it charged the whole night over. But in the morning I still can't turn it on. Everything I got is a blinking red LED. I tried holding the power button for 20 sec., power+vol. down, power+vol. up.
When the phone isn't conected to the charging cable I didn't get the blinking LED neither.
Anybody with the same problem?
maybe the charger is broken because from what you describing i think the phone still works
+1 looks like charger has a problem. Did you try another cable ? Directly plugged in your computer ?
Hi do you have clockwork mod installed? Mine did this and to fix it i connected it to my pc via usb and left it for 4 hours. the red light stopped blinking and i booted, then connected it to a mains charger. just an idea.
Hm okay. I don't think it's the charger because the phone is getting warm on the backside when it is plugged in. Some thing when it's USB-plugged.
The man of the service hotline told me to take out the battery. hahaha stupid man. Now I get a 1on1 exchange tomorrow. He couldn't solve the problem.
*Edit:
Do anybody know a trick how I could backup my files? Shortly before breakdown I took a few photos which I would like to keep.
Hei,
since recent I had no problems with my Xperia Arc S. But recently I had the problems that sometimes if the battery goes below 20% the phone switches off randomly, and recharging was impossible. Replacing the battery did not change the problem.
When I plug the charger in, the following scheme happens: Either the LED gets instant green, or it blinks red. Regardless of the LED while charged, when putting it off the charger, the LED switches off. When trying to switch it on again, the LED just blinks red. How can I fix that?
Thanks!
The LED blinks red whenever your battery is to low, the green one usually means it is charging, so either you got a problem with your software, or either your battery is dead,you could even try an other charger , since I had problems with my USB-port with some cables
