Try just charging it for a whole night, but not with his own Sony charger!
I had problems with the original Sony charger(like not charging all the way to 100%, but only to 86%, or random shutdowns).
I'm charging my phone with a Samsung charger and it works great.

Phone Won't boot anymore :(

Hey guys,
I’ve got a problem with my xperia play - it won’t boot anymore.
I bought a cheap battery from china and after replacing the original one with the fake one the phone wouldn’t boot anymore.
I’ve tried to charge my phone (with the original battery) overnight but it didn’t help.
While charging the red light keeps blinking in a 4 seconds interval but apart from that nothing happens.
I’ve also tried to start the phone without the battery with the usb cable plugged in,but it didn’t help.
Furthermore charging it via a usb cable over the computer didn’t help and the red light just kept blinking in the 4 seconds interval.
And of course I can’t boot in recovery mode/fastboot mode,and the phone doesn't vibrate at the start of the boot progress ,either. I’ve also already tried the ‘’freezer trick’’ (to put the battery in the freezer for a few hours)but as you’ve probably guessed that ‘’trick’’ didn’t help me at all.
I appreciate any help.
Thanks in advance.
over 77 views and still no answer.
can anybody help me please.
i would even donate some money if it would help my phone to boot.
thank you in advance.

Clicked thanks instead of quote ignore that, it sounds like a battery issue and probably has nothing to do with the fake battery, if you do a search around the internet it goes on about the battery being dead, why not try plugging the phone into the wall outlet letting it charge a bit, removing the plug after a while and keep doing it, might kick start the battery to charge again.
Another thing you could do is take it to a local sony centre and try out an official battery, if it still doesnt work send the phone to sony, it might be a hardware issue, and if you've bought it in the past year you are still in warranty, don't worry if you've done any mods to it, they check the hardware, usually erase the software and revert to stock
Ok,thanks for your help.
I'll try charging the phone overnight from the wall outlet and I gonna reply tomorrow.

hi,
unfortunately it still doesn't work.any other suggestions?
Try my last suggestion
i.e. Sony original battery or send it for repair

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.

Note 2 wont charge when its shut off

Guys, i need your help. My phone suddenly died when i was charging it. Tried in the charger and was able to switch on, bat perctage is still showing as 30%. wHen i removed the charger it died again repeat the same thing and was stock in samsung logo. Was able to read one forum and owner experienced the same thing. What he did was used a diff bat. Tried it and it worked, so i purchased a msn hk replacement bat, however when i tried to switch the phone off while charger was plugged, it didnt work. No red led light, bat percentage dis not increase, no bat cahrging logo, so obviously it was not charging.i Inserted usb charger again and tried to switch off the phone but it just restarted. So the big problem is, every time that the bat is fully drained, i cant charge it using a usb charger, i need to use a universal charger 1st to boot the bat a bit then palce it back again so i can switch on the phone then use the usb wall charger. to ssummarize the problem, Phone Is charging as long as it is switched on but wont charge if its off and wont shut off while charging. Any one experienced the same thing? Is this due to the replacement bat? Need ur help guys, thanks
Up guys

Z5P problems.

So I recently purchased a Z5P unlocked, with a contract in vodafone, regardless of that ive been having many problems with the Z5P. I love the phone and all its features. On to my problems and if anyone has an idea how to fix it please tell me!
1: my first problem is the water thing, if i take it in water its all fine, until water touches the jack, say if im in the rain, listening to music(which i have done to experience this problem) it will keep going into headphone mode, this isnt a huge problem, but if theres some work around to this id greatly appreciate it.
2: This is my biggest problem, the charging port just doesnt work properly! i connect it, it charges just fine, 100% in an hour or so, then it drains throughout the day i get home from college, from about 8-5/6 its down to about 50/45% i plug it in and no charge, or even worse half way through the day it'll pop up saying charger not charging battery, with nothing connected into the charger! its just died on me and will not charge at all, until i plugged it into my computer via fastboot and the lil blue light pops up and is now charging. Slowly, but is charging. any ideas as to why it isnt charging through wall charger? all official cables, and around 3 it was charging, in college fine. i get home and it doesnt charge.
other lil problems include the brightness thing, which i guess will be fixed in marshmallow? it keeps going into adaptive brightness even though i turn it off?
another problem is when i turn it off (Press the power button>Power off) it doesnt turn off, it forever restarts, red light, sony screen, black screen-repeat.
also another problem is the lag?! not in general, its all smooth but in snapchat the device starts lagging and then heats up? might be snapchat, i dunno. but the charging ones the big one!:crying::crying:
EDIT: i have done a full reset of my phone before it fully died on me, and this is the first time its ever fully died.
I don't know what country you're in but I'd return it for a new one. To many problems you got there...
Sent from my SGP311 using XDA Free mobile app
Can any body please help me Nd let me know how i can search messages in massaging app? using search option it only searching inside message content but i want to search by contact
I have the same problem as you, when i plug in the phone to the charge, nothing happend but, when i connected to my PC the phone appears to work fine until i restart it, after that, my pc wont reconice the phone either and i cant charge it until the battery is completely dead and of course, when i turn it off, the phone do the same as yours, white scren whit the sony logo after the red light and do the same thing over and over again, i tried hard reset twice but wont work, dont know what to do either............. did you connect your phone on a PC with windows XP in college???, because my problem start when i connecte to an old PC with Windows XP...

Z5 Premium won't turn on

Z5 Premium not turning on
hello everyone,
PLEASE HELP ME!
My z5 premium was working fine.. battery was charged too, and suddenly it turned off, and it didn't turn on back again. I've tried all the different ways and solutions that should turn it back on:
hard reset didn't work
2 minutes hard reset didn't work
hard reset button didn't work
plugged it in using it's OEM charger and usb cable didn't work either and LED didn't lit up
plugged it in to the computer nothing happened, wasn't detected with no sign of life
I had to take off it's battery cover (using professional tools) unplugged the battery, connected the phone to the charger while the battery is unplugged, and nothing happened reconnected the battery back, and plugged the phone again to it's wall charger, and no sign of life.
i left it there all night long since the afternoon. and when i came back in the next morning to check if the phone is charging and the LED is lit up, but again NO SIGN OF LIFE!
(BTW, the phone is in mint condition and it was never been disassembled or repaired)
Please if anyone have an idea what this could be?
if anyone has encountered the same problem and went through the same of what I've been, and was able to repair it or find a solution PLEASE LET ME KNOW!
Now, I'm thinking of 2 things: either the battery is completely dead(damaged) or it's the mainboard which I don't hope to be.
PLEASE LET ME KNOW YOUR THOUGHTS ABOUT THIS!
Now, forget about any sort of software repair, as I explained above, the phone didn't succeed in that.
So, any help or suggestion would be so much appreciated.
Thank you all for taking time in reading and participating in this topic.
Have a good day.

Not happy reading this thread. Why so many issues with Sony Android... Anyway;;
- I recently had the same issue - or an issue in the same ball park. Phone Just died and refused to charge, but would show a red LED and try to boot when plugged in.
- Sent it to Sony, Hoping it is only a dead battery
The OP sounds like a they have a USB port issue or a board issue, also OP phone will no longer waterproof after removal of cover.
Unclear as to whether you have tried the following;
- Turn on whist holding camera button instead of Volume up/down. it is worth a try
- Try to grab an official sony charging cable- basically impossible to buy nowadays, maybe a PS4 controller cable? try it
My stock unrooted Z5p died like this in April. Have the same issue as the OP and tried all the same solutions. My Z5p had only been used indoors for months with WiFi before sudden death. Replacing the charging port did nothing. Using the OEM cable and charger with a new battery gets a 2 sec red light when connected to power and starts booting up until the swirls (gets past Sony Xperia and powered by android screens). Then the screen goes dark and shows the big battery for a couple of seconds.
I didn't realize there was a sudden death problem with Sony phones until I started trying to fix this. What's even crazier is that I had (have) the Xperia Z, Z Ultra, and the Z2. The Z2 was used in the rain constantly and even survived an ejection from a handlebar mount at 15mph onto asphalt. (All these phones were rooted and using custom ROMs/kernels.) Seems like Sony has a serious QC issue they're not taking about.
