Thanks for the quick reply I forgot about all the love thrown around this place a Little more friendly over at modmyi but hey thanks for all your trouble

If you flash a new Rom don't you still have to charge it?

Well I had 2 8525's one to keep stable and one to test out all the new Roms on but one got broke in half screen got broke off and then a few days later the other ones connector went to **** so I used the half phone to charge up batteries LOL currently rocking the ever so hated iPhone but love the things that are going on over here now I'll definately get flamed thanks for all the help guys if it's anything at all the iPhone is hacked all to **** or as much as I could still waiting to get touch pro but kind of low on funds right now thanks again

If you have the 2, why don't you make 1 working phone out of the 2 "broken" phones?
Wouldn't that be easier than stuffing around with the batteries, all you'd need to do would be to exchange the mainboard from the one where the LCD has been broken off to the case where you have bad battery connectors.....
Cheers...

I think I actually tried that it's been quite a while do you know if I have to take the screen off to get to the motherboard

4 screws under the battery cover. then 1 screw on mb. Use the HTC service manual to take apart successfully. You shouldn't need to go further than taking off the back. There is a ribbon cable that needs to be taken off the mb, its sealed in under tape. Easy enough to get off.
Cheers...

thanks for the info I will do as soon as I get a chance thanks for all the help

Try a different usb cable, different usb port, reboot pc and try a different pc. if none if these fix it it is the TP2 but to check if hardware or software you may need to do a hardreset.

Sorry I couldnt help you out bro... I know wha you mean about these devices... i go thru withdrawl if i leave my phone at home just to run to the store... lol...
I have a tmo tp2 im using right now i looking to get rid of it only because im on att and cant use 3g with the tmo phone.
dont have n e pix yet but its in really good condition. i have it in the silicon case bought from tmo and selling it with a 2gb micro sd. my father had a warrenty exchange right b4 he gave it to me. shoot me a pm if ur interested

This same exact thing happened to me on my Touch Pro 1. It just stopped working. I even called to get RMA info, but never got around to sending it back.
Then suddenly one day, it started working again. I have no idea why. One thing that I did notice though was that the contacts seemed to not work so well... like, if I pushed the cable to one side or another, I could get it to make contact... but eventually it started working just fine without any issues.
It's still one of the world's most compelling mysteries. It will unfortunately never be solved, since I have switched to a TP2.

Same exact issue as mine. I had to return mine. The new one worked perfectly. The reason I think mine went out was a 3rd party charger. Did you happen to use a 3rd party charger to charge your phone?

[Q] Red light issue with rooted only xperia play

So I cannot stress how much time I've dedicated in reading and searching and have read and read. It was either the person's phone was flashed to a rom or had unlocked bootloaders. Whatever the issue, I felt I should post my issue. I have a Xperia that is only rooted. IS ALL. No flashed roms with stock kernels, no unlocked bootloaders. Nada, none of that. So recently my phone's lcd backlight started flashing on and off everytime I'd slide my phone. I figured I'd open it up which I pulled a tutorial from youtube and opened my phone up CAREFULLY. I mean I did this the most safest way ever! I finally get to putting everything back together and boom! Nothing! No logo, no vibration, no nothing! I'm freaked! So I plug the computer by usb and hear the usb connection sound and for a quick second I was relieved... then again comes the flashing red light... I'm gonna say it for the hell of it but I swear the damn thing is blinking orange but me and my lady had a debate she said it was clearly red so I think it's dark orange.. Regardless!! It blinks ruffly every three seconds and only blinks when connected WITH OR WITHOUT BATTERY. Can someone please give me any ideas? Should I open it up and make sure nothing happened or something? I'm just so worried and no longer have a phone at all... I'd greatly appreciate it and if anything else happens I'll keep ya updated. Thanks again.
**********UPDATE**********
I went ahead and tried speaking to a agent so here's the script
Please wait while we find an agent to assist you...

Hayley: Hi Michael, thank you for contacting Sony Xperia UK Chat Support. My name is Hayley, please could I take your full name and email address?
Michael: Yes
Michael: Michael *******@gmail.com
Hayley: Thank you for providing me with this information, how can I help you today?
Michael: My Xperia Play is blinking with a red light every three seconds and won't turn on.
Hayley: Have you tried charging the phone?
Michael: yes all night and it still was left blinking
Hayley: I'd suggest that you first try updating the software in your handset. This can be done using the Update Service program here: http://www-support-downloads.sonymobile.com/Software Downloads/Update_Service_Setup-2.11.12.5.exe
Michael: well if I connect it to the computer I still get only a blinking red light... will this file fix the connection issue?
Hayley: You connect the phone whilst it is switched off so you should still be able to use it.
Michael: ok I'll try I'll let you know if anything changes
Hayley: No problem. I hope the information I have provided is okay. Is there anything else I can help you with?
Michael: well can I wait until i try this ?
Hayley: The update will take about 15 minutes to run so you will need to try this and contact us again if it doesn't resolve it.
Michael: k thanks**
I'm gonna try this update service and see if anything else works.. Please guys if you know anything let me know
****UPDATE****
Still nothing at all... I'm hoping I really didn't screw anything up... I'm going to open the phone for the third time and try again.
*Update*
Nothing ended up working I might as well just end up tossing the damn thing in the trash.
*********UPDATE!!!!***********
After getting back home from work I decided to play around with it and try a little experiment and I figured ahh the hell with it. I somehow magically got it to work!!!
Here's what I did,
I pried open the back cover of the phone and flipped the battery backwards and connected the three gold spots and pressed down counted for five seconds. I then turned it back over to the correct way and pressed and held the power button and felt a vibration and was like WTH????? Boom! Sony Ericsson logo came on so It's back up and running!! THE MOTHERBOARD IS SAFE THANK GOODNESS!!! It may have just been the battery.. Well I'm still having problems everytime I slide the keyboard up and down it automatically shuts down but I figured I can just replace the slide strip that connects the lcd. But again I appreciate the support and thank you all so much!

Open it up again and make sure everything is connected securely. Give it a good clean with one of those compressed air cans as well to blow any dust out of the ports.
The red flashing light seems to me like something is disconnected somewhere internally

hey thanks for replying and for the help I really appreciate it. I've already tried opening it up twice but still nothing I've give it a third shot though

Have you tried connecting it in flash mode and using flashtool to flash a new ROM? If you're worried about losing what's on the phone, tell flashtool not to wipe user data.
Also, for next time, this should be posted in Q&A, not general.

well that's the thing though my computer doesn't recognize the connection oh well I give up thanks though.

That doesn't quite answer my question. Did you try with flash mode and flashtool, or only the Sony Ericsson software?
Also, are the Gordon's gate drivers that come with flashtool properly installed?
Sent from Asgard

Found the problem
Its either your battery or your motherboard.
Either get a new battery, or send it in for repair...Sorry dude
Due to the connection issue it seems like the motherboard
Edit: Try charging it ALL DAY. Blinking red lights can also mean the phone doesn't have enough charge to even activate the screen (0% battery) and just needs to be fully charged again
Sent from my Xperia Play using xda premium

Well i think its the motherboard but i appreciate all answers. I left it charging all night and by morning when i woke up the phone felt warm but still no charge. Its funny though because the phone i actually liked failed on me lol. Im just gonna save.up and buy for a new one. Would you guys consider amazon for an phone that says used but like new?

The answer for your question well it didn't recognize anything and i used the Sony software and flashtool all it says is unknown device even after installing all fresh drivers. I really have just spent way to much time in for this device important better off buying a new one and keeping the spare parts on this one.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA

I had the same problem, and totally freaked out, because i had been tampering a bit with the kernel and i thought i had bricked my phone, but i searched for it and this popped up... talk.sonymobile.com/thread/28276?start=10&tstart=0
it basicly means that one or more of the pins dont get contact when trying to charge, and therefore the phone keeps flashing the low-battery-red-led
ofc im not entirely sure that you have the same problem, and it seemed as if it fixed itself or somethng

[Q] USB connection Issues

For the past few days i have been racking my brain trying to figure out what went wrong.
For some reason I can no longer connect my phone to my computer to transfer/move files. it acts as if the drivers will not take. when i check the device manager it reads SAMSUNG_Android with the yellow !
I have reinstalled lastest drivers from Samsung site, removed all drivers and tried from Kies software/ rebooted pc and phone countless times. tired my laptop where it use to always work and same results. One this i did notice was at some point i got an error on my internal sd card and that i should format it. I backed up all files via ftp formated the internal sd and tried again.. all with the same results. I have also tried 3 different cables.
PCs both windows 7 one 32bit the other 64.
Phone e4gt rooted FI27, everything else stock
All and Any Help greatly Appreciated.

Here it comes!!
I'm hoping that I'm wrong BUT, that is exactly how my EMMC brick started. Let us know if your phone just shuts down and the only thing you will get is a blue light. There us nothing you can do then but take it back to Sprint for a free replacement. I couldn't figure my USB issues out for maybe a week and then it just died when i plugged it in to transfer photos I'd just taken 30 seconds before it died. Lets hope I'm wrong but I'm writing this with my new phone ate the exact same symptoms with my previous Sammy. Try to get your internal memory backed up now! Boot your CWM and mount your external USB. I wished I'd have.

Try a brand new cable and see if that helps. This phone seems to be especially intolerant of if connections.

Not sure what you mean by boot my CWM. External memrory is ok I can just pull that out. the internal I backed up with FTP was a pain but i did it. I hope you are wrong about the phone dying out on me I am sure they will give me a referb if that is the case.

I still say try a brand new cable. When I first had this issue I tried 3 or 4 old ones before buying a new one.
Today my brothers nexus s wouldn't charge except with one particular cable. I think that the cable and port are still within individual tolerances but together there is just too much play in the connection.

took your advice and tried a brand new cable. I am stil having the same issue. anything else i can try? I tried with both usb debugging on and off still same issue

Damn, I was sure that'd work. I guess if you were able to back it up it's time for a replacement.

[Q] Problem with OTG

Hi, I am having a slight problem and am at a loss.
First of all, my phone is stock. I bought my OTG cable a few months ago and it worked just fine. I was using it to play games with my PS3 remote. However, with less time on my hands, I put the games aside and with it, I was no longer using my OTG cable.
Whenever I plug in the OTG cable, nothing happens and I don't get a notification that a USB device is connected. I have confirmed that it is not the OTG cable as I have tried it on 3 other phones, all of which responded to the cable connecting.
I am not sure when this problem started happening, but I didn't notice until yesterday when I was trying to use my OTG cable. In addition, when I plug in my phone to my laptop, my phone doesn't give me the option to turn on debugging mode. Again, I don't know when this problem actually began. I mention this because I am not sure if it is relevant to my OTG cable problem. Yes, I have checked and debugging mode is enabled.
I am not sure what to do and I have scoured the web trying to find a solution. Maybe I am searching in the wrong places, or maybe I am not just searching correctly, but I figured that my last option was coming here.
I thank you ahead for your time and hope that a solution can be found. I will be more than happy to provide any more details of needed.

Sounds like a bad USB port. You can replace it yourself, or do a warranty exchange. I don't think it's software related but try factory resetting. Or another ROM.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2

It sounds similar to what my phone was doing a few days ago. I don't have the OTG, but when I plugged my phone in to the computer, it only went to charge mode and didn't give the USB options, and the computer didn't recognize it at all. I ended up flashing back to stock rooted and it started working again. I flashed CM and then AeonFluxx again and it continued working, so I assume that it was either an app I had installed or something extra I had flashed. Either way, it's working now.
TL;DR Try reflashing before you start tinkering with the hardware, that fixed a similar problem for me.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

Alright, thanks guys.
I think I am just going to do a factory reset.
I am able to charge my phone just fine and it connects to the computer just fine as well (Heck, I can do what many others can't....connect to Kies). I have no problems with data transfers either.
So I assume this is a software based problem.
...I may as well root while I am at it....
Haha, I will tinker around a little bit more before I do a factory reset and come back with my results.
Thanks again!

Are you using a kernel with fast charge?
Never mind. You are not rooted so that is not the issue.

Well, it looks like the factory restore didn't solve either issue. So I ended up calling it in and hopefully the replacement phone will work. Gonna have to wait a bit though...GS3's are currently on back order.
Thanks again for the advice though guys! Appreciate it!
