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

Hi!
Tonight my phone ran out of battery, and the red light [the one on the speaker] turned on as usual, and the phone was off [strange]. But when i try to connect to the AC, the red led is still turned on, and i cannot turn on my phone
Do you know what's the problem in this case?
[when i disconnect the phone from the AC, the red light disappears, but no rensponse from the phone when i try to turn on.]
Is it a battery problem?
thanks for the help!

Try taking out the battery for a few and letting the phone reset then reinserting the battery and just letting it charge even if the red light is on. I figure if it's plugged in it has to still get power so maybe after some time it will charge.
Hope this helps

Looks like you need to replace your battery my friend. If you have a red light means that your battery is not working properly or not working at all. Try to clean the battery terminals (where the battery makes contact with the phone), sometimes it works. If you still don't see the amber light when you plug the AC, it's time to get a new one. You can find cheap ones on ebay. Good Luck
I had the same problem my problem was the charger, used a usb-pc to charge phone now i have no more problems. Could be a knock off battery cheap battery.
My touch Pro2 is blinking amber and green when power off and when powered on Also blinks and will not charge.
Read some posts it says it overheating, not mine it cool to touch and works fine. I don't think its the charge port because when power off I insert cable and it will go to amber or 5 seconds then that blinking alternating amber green.
does anyone know where the power magement ic is located on the board.
I going to try reflowing the entire board, but if I knew where the pm ic was would try that 1st. thanks.
already reset phone so it's not software issue.
It's either overheating or your battery needs to be replaced.
Before you go tearing your device apart, you could simply try another battery or try charging the battery outside of the device. Occasionally, when the battery level drops too low, the device doesn't have enough juice to charge at all and will fall into an infinite boot loop. It's easier and cheaper to just try an outside source to eliminate the obvious answers first.
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.
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.!.!
Hi, yesterday i was playing with the phone like usual when suddenly shutted down itself, i thought it was a battery problem and plugged into the charger but only shows red light, i tried even pulling out the battery (i did a mess trying to open it but nothing broken) and let a few hours to rest, nothing, even i tried to charge it through an external charger and put it inside again when the indicator hit 100%, but no use, the strange thing is that the red light keeps static even without the battery when the usb is plugged, any ideas?
