So my ZL won't power up past the boot animation without an external power source.
When I do boot it up and unplug the USB cable, it works for about 30 seconds then it shuts down.
The phone seems to charge fine.
I've already wiped the phone and flashed stock ftf files but the problem persists.
I don't know what else to try, any suggestions?

Did u contact Sony? They can fix or replace your phone under warranty

That's kinda like last resort.
My bootloader is also unlocked so i would actually rather buy another phone than shell out a few hundred to fix it.
Recovery, fastboot, and flash mode work normally. Its just booting into the system.

I dont think Sony will take it under warranty because unlocking the Bootloader voids warranty...

Funny, mine is doing the EXACT same thing. I think mine overheated once this week, and now I can't boot without plugging it in, and if it doesn't stay plugged in, it will rebook when I launch an app.

Have you ever installed custom roms on it?

Of course I have! lol, this isn't a ROM issue, it's a hardware issue. I have a locked bootloader, no custom kernel, which means no damage from ROMs.

That means you can use Sony Companion software and install the stock firmware from Sony and send it to Sony for repair or replacement.

I was commenting because it's likely we have the same problem, and since I've never heard of this particular problem in ANY OTHER android, it makes it a ZL problem. I was simply letting the OP know he's not alone, obviously we're both going to send them to Sony for replacement.
My ZL developed this issue today. the key difference is that I need it plugged into the charger to boot since it will not boot when it is plugged into my pc.
c6506, rooted once, locked bootloader, no custom roms installed.

Wow..I'm glad I'm not the only one - getting like no responses from my post from a couple of weeks ago was really disenheartening. did Sony send you shipping instructions? did they offer to accept it right away, no questions asked, or did they grill you about your phone? just want to know what to expect

Its actually quite painless.
I called and told them the problem, assured I tried restoring the phone, then they gave me an RMA number and details where to mail it to.

I don't own a ZL, but i'm planning on buying one later this year(I hope!). Since there are several cases of this issue it would be a good idea if everyone who has it gives a bit of detail on phone usage, how long they've owned the phone, charging habits, etc.

I consider myself a very "light" user as I use the phone to check emails/send texts, and look up the odd thing that's blocked at work. While on the subway, I'll listen to music or watch the odd video that I've DL'd...very minimal gaming, though the last two games I DL'd were a couple of Mobage games - Transformers Legends and Monster Match which I would play pretty much all day when work is slow.
Nothing out of the ordinary with charging..phone gets to ~10%, I'll charge. There was the odd times I would charge the phone while playing those games, but again, nothing out of the ordinary
Just became another Victim of this issue two days ago.
were this all happened on 4.2.2 - 10.3.1.A.2.67?
I updated to 4.2.2 - 10.3.1.A.2.67 few days ago and then this happened.
anyone got his/her fixed already?
My Sony Xperia ZL is NOT booting up unless it has an external power supply. The phone vibrates, shows the SONY bootscreen, and then dies. Also, the phone runs perfectly until i disconnect it and it simply dies in the blink of an eye. I have an unlocked bootloader and was on CM10.2, flashed the stock ftf for 4.3, then 4.2, and yet nothing worked! My device is just around 8 months old and i doubt that my battery can be dead all of a sudden when it was giving decent backup until today!

my bootloader is unlocked so the warranty will most probably be void. Also, since this is a sudden development, am hoping it's a software problem.

If you have taken a backup of your TA partition, then relock your bootloader before you go to the service center.
I'm pretty sure that your battery is dead.
Do you have a Trim Area backup? If so, restore it and then take it to service.

i have the same issue, tested with service menu and it said battery status is GOOD...
but whats the different between u and me is i didn't unlock the bootloader, but i used the phone more than 1 year and so the warranty is not valid anymore...
thinking to replace the battery by goto some good reputation phone repair shops

ITS YOUR BATTERY! TRUST ME!
I had the exact same issue. Just spring for a 30$ battery from eBay. Worked for me! I also brought an Xperia T back to life by replacing the battery ?. It would only show a blinking red light but wouldnt boot or charge. New battery fixed it. Sony DEFINITELY has some kinks to work out with their batteries. At the very least they need to go back to removable ones.

You can use it while charging but not while its off charge. If the sony center denies the problem with the battery, No one can help you. You need to check the battery. Hardware related issue. So none of us can help you out online. Please try to get your battery replaced. I think you can do that.

That´s a known issue of Xperia ZL.
See here

So, can you boot your phone up, and then it shuts off when you unplug it?
or are the symptom's different?

That's the battery issue...
How old is your phone (should it be under hardware warranty?), did you buy it new, did you unlock your boot partition (and if so, did you save it?)

Now the store keeps my phone to test hardware components and machine )) I hope it will soon back to normal, Fortunately, I didn't unlock bootloader
When I took mine with same issue to my provider, it was sent directly to a Sony repair center where they replace both camera and battery!
(I swear, they gave me a diagnostic document)
Since then, my phone has been working very well

Hey guys,
I got the lollipop update for the Moto 360 today, but now its stuck on the boot loop ( the red, yellow, green, blue spinning orbs)
Any ideas on how to fix it?
Thanks
--------------------------------------
Update
----------
I have sent my moto 360 for a replacement and have created a bug report here https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=83581
If you guys go there and star it, google is more likely to notice it. Hope everyone gets their watch fixed. Good luck.
It took a while for me as well but finally it booted up fine.

I also have such problem. I've rebooted, rebooted, rebooted, all the same. I think only one way has left- flash firmware.

Probably, it is a bug in the update... I sent back the watch to Motorola, they are going to replace it
For me this isn't good idea, cause shipping will take a lot of time (Russia). I Iam inclined to reflash it by myself. I just wonder if it will help or not.

Oh... It probably would help. It looks like a software issue. But how would you flash it? There are no usb ports and the bluetooth doesn't work.

Nothing..I just called them up and explained the problem..they told me to restart the device when that didn't work..they said they will send a replacement after my watch reaches them...
On their website it says I'll get a "like new" replacement so the replacement could be a refurbished one. So, it's probably better if you get your own watch back after repairs.
I've been on KitKat for a few months and the battery was amazing until I updated to Lollipop. Any idea why?
You have updated to Lollipop via LG PC Suite?
If yes, have you performed factory reset?
I 'm on 20f(flashed with the LG Flash Tools 2014) . I resetted my phone twice and installed Battery Calibration Pro. Battery is getting better after that.
Try to figure wghich app/process is causing drain. Its hard to figure without root that.

Hi.
Sorry about the question but can anyone tell me what is the amperage used on the original charger/adapter for the LG G3 D855 please?
I need to know it because I lost the power adapter that connects to the cable. I want to buy one but with the right amperage so I don't damage the phone or battery long term and also not to be waiting hours for it to charge.
Thanks for the help.
They are quite small letters to read lol.
I also updated to lollipop and i did a factory reset , and still every 1-2 minutes the battery drop 1% down !
i noticed that the screen cause the problem, it take more then 50% of battery usage.
what should i do?

Since 7 am, it is not 10 am, so in 3 hours I am at 76% with barely a few instant message sent and one single call. This is not normal.
I'm on the same boat. Phone is draining battery very fast after update. Any news on this??
