Hi,
last night my Desire ran out of juice, and when i woke up it was empty.
So this morning i turned it on, entered my PIN and immediatly plugged it.
When i came back later, it was not running anymore. The LED isn't green as usual, and i can't turn it on.
It charges for several hours now, and nothing happen. I tried pulling of the battery, nothing at all.
I'm running Oxygen 2.0 RC7 (Android 2.3.2) for weeks without any problems.
tl;dr : phone not charging, no led at all. plz help.
Thx in advance for your answers !
EDIT : the phone rebooted without SIM and SD cards. Weird.
I just faced the same problem. I woke up to see the battery was compelety drained and the phone was off. I plug in the charger but the led doesn't turn on. How did you resolve this? How did you manage to reboot the device?
In my case, the phone was on with the charger plugged in but battery icon is red and empty. I reboot and clear battery stat in clockworkmod, reboot and all's well again...
Resolved
Well, in my case I had drained the battery completely. The phone neither would turn on nor would charge after the battery was drained overnight. I checked that there was about 3V in all cells of the battery.
In such case, pull out the battery and plug in your charger and you can see the led flash in all colors. This will make sure that the problem is with the drained battery and not the phone. Leave the charger plugged in for about 10-15 mins without the battery. Then put the battery back on and charge your phone, it should start charging and you will be able to see the red led. Now, let it charge till till your battery is fully charged.
i also have the problem that the phone want charge
when i insert the charger (with removed battery) sometimes the led starts flashing and sometimes it does not
at the first time i tried your method and waited for about 10 minutes
at next i inserted the battery but the phone didnt start to charge and now the led want start flashing when i connect it to the charger
ME Too1!!!!

This morning had same problem myself. HTC Desire plugged into mains charger overnight, but this morning discovered hadn't actually been charging and battery low although phone working. Now battery drained and cant get charging led to flash whether plugged into mains charger or PC via USB. Tried different USB leads and temporary battery removal as well as charging withour batter. LED resolutely dead
As per sod's law, phone out of warranty a few months back.

You could try a different battery, it might have come to the end of it's life and just needs replacing. How long have you had the phone and / or battery?
its less than 6 month, battery monitor widget say is good health

There shouldn't be a problem with it then.
I know it means resetting everything, but you could try flashing the ftf again. It most likely won't fix it, but Sony would ask you to try a reset using pc companion before you send it back anyway.
I have clockworkmod installed but no unlocked bootloader, if i do a reset than can i restore everything from backup?

Yeah, you can. Though you'll have to root again and install CWM, it wipes everything with a fresh install.
10 hrs from USB is acceptable..but not via AC...something is wrong dude..did you try with different charger? try samsung charger..note and S2 and S3 charger allows more current hence charges the phone very quickly.
ok ive made a fresh install from pc companion repair service, updated to ics, now is really worse, i put all the night the phone charging, it charged from 25% to 45% after 9 hours, if i use the phone just a little when is chargin it dont charge at all but get low battery. im the only one having this issue? i assume i will have to send it to sony support but i would like to understand what could is causing this, THIS IS FROM ONE MONTH, BEFORE IS ALWAYS CHARGED FAST, AND FASTER FROM AC, ive always charged the phone from usb via pc, occasionally charged by ac from cigar socket inside my car, this was a cheap sub socket i bought for 5 euro, could it be this?
now i cant use the phone at all, if i put it on cant charge because battery is used more than how much is recharged, i have to keep it off and wait, hope that reverting to gb will make the chargin time a bit faster, i want to keep it still awhile before send it to sony

Got one last idea for you. Try a different usb cable to charge it. The cable might just have worn out.
It shouldn't be the car charger, as long as it had the same charging rate as USB charging or AC charging.
nope, already tried a different cable, i cant understand whats wrong with this phone, ive recharged it 20% yesterday, ive put it on airplane mode before sleeping and today at morning after 9 hour it is 5% battery
and sony support in italy is really bad, ive to bring the phone to a collect center that will ship it to the support center ill have to wait 2 weeks to have it back
i just discovered that charge time from ac is 7 hour, from pc usb take more than 20, if i leave the phone to the usb with the pc off the phone totatlly drain the battery i dont know how
guys this is urgent pls.. bought a htc onex in seconds with 4 % charge left.. wheni came home and connected charger to ac , power got even less..it became 2 percent charge and eventually got switched off... tried switching on it did couple of times but now it doesnt even turn on... only a red led flashes... even that it flashes for sometime and turns off completely amd again comes in... pls help guys the phone refuses to switch on.. it was running stock rom...pls help..pls
Leave it on the main charger for about 5-6 hours if you haven't done that already.

thanks a lot for ur prompt reply dude... ya will try that surely.. but any idea y this is caused? could it be a battery caliberating issue or battery itself gone.. ?
May i answer to this? @karthik_sa2 : I had the same problem about 1 month ago.
This is what happened to me.
I plugged the phone to an ac charger, leaving it on.I think i may have left open some battery hungry apps like a game, and the ac charger could not deliver enough power to the phone.The battery continued to discharge untill 0, but the phone remained on for a reason.After 3-4 minutes, the battery reached a critical level and the phone shut down.
I left the phone plugged to an wall charger for about 1 and a half days.Then i was able to start the phone in bootloader.Happy ending!

No, my led was dead.
After 1,5 days , it charged 3%.At least this is the info the ROM was telling me .
Don't worry about the led, just leave the phone charging for 1-2 days.Then try oppening it on bootloader.

I read this post somewhere and it perfectly worked for me...thanks for all the help again..
"Be paitient, Plug your phone in and give it a minimum of 20 mins charge even though it's flashing.
Unplug the phone and hold both the VOL up and VOL down buttons together for at least 2 mins then release.
Plug the phone back in.. don't worry if it's starts flashing again just be paitent it will I guarantee stop flashing a red led and begin charging to show a constant red led..
By holding thew vol up and vol down buttons you will reset the charging circuit..
The reason your phone has started flashing is because it's gone too far into a discharge...
JUST DON'T PANIC and stay calm.. show a little paitence and all will be well...." :victory:

Hello everyone. newbie here.
My sony Z1c seems to have developed a bug/issue. 2 days ago my phone was on charge, green led at the top was on and my battery showed at 100%. I unplugged the device jumped into bed, set my alarms as usual. I then woke up 2 hours later then i should of to find my z1c was dead. Nothing was running in the background etc so instantly knew something was up. Tried charging my phone at work via usb>pc and it kept saying my phone is losing charge quicker then its charging (never seen this message before) . I could turn the phone on but the battery level stayed at 2%, as soon as it was unplugged from the pc it would instantly die.
When i got home i done a few "reset" searches and come across the hold volume up and power at the same time until phone vibrates method. This now seems to allow my phone to charge normally again and the battery goes past 2%. However again today my phone went dead overnight. So the issue is still there, im just able to charge the device again.
I dont appear to have anything running in the background
havent done any firmware,software,app updates in the last couple of days (again that im aware off, unless they forced any)
also noticed the phone gets extremely hot at periods for unknown reasons?
Anyone here able to help or advice? is this a faulty battery, software,firmware issue etc? any fixes
d5503
running 4.4.4
14.4.a.0.108
Thanks in advance
Have you tried a different charger? Charge it using wall charger with supplied cable. I don't think firmware is draining your battery. Possible that u r caught up with a faulty battery if u don't have any issues with charger.
My advice "Head to Sony Service Centre asap".
Have you 'ever' installed any custom ROM on this phone then reflashed/restored something later after accquired? It could be the underlying system's battery state is different than the current running OS' one. Try calibrating the battery a couple of times to see if that make any difference.
Hello. Thank you for the replies.
The phone charges correctly via mains and usb(laptop,ps4 etc) since i done that power+volume up reset. Pretty sure my leads and plug are fine. i could try different usb leads though. the charge level is certainly showing me 100% charge
I have never used any ROM's or Roots. i dont know fully what they are. I used to have a jailbroken iphone so it sounds similar. Id be prepared to do down any of them routes if it fixes my phone
Everything updated has been official releases. I dont appear to of updated anything recently though so i cant put it down to a system update or new app update. - something might have glitched somewhere i dunno
Charged the phone during my first post and again it says its gone to 100% after a couple of hours. unplugged the charger. restarted the phone and checked nothing that hasnt been on for the last 3 months hasnt turnt on and all seems fine there. So just left it in standby
checked it 10minutes later to see charge levels. am down to 87%
using gsm battery app it says 68.9% app usage, when i click that
android system 53%
kernel (andoid os) 19.5%
then i have a list of other stuff running all be 2%
them 2 shouldnt be that high should they?
then when i go default settings>power> batt usage
android system 37%
googleplay service 21% (doesnt appear to be updating/syncing anything. should all be off. never used syncing)
screen 14%
android OS 5%
cell standby 5%
the rest of the list are 2's and 1's
phone was cool when charging, since rebooting the device and unplugging it, its now getting hot??? would of expected it to be the other way around!!!
Might want to give it a go of this:

Hi again, Jcw i done a full factory result and everything now appears to be fine now. Phone has been on for 3hours standby and on 98% battery, It would have been dead by now and extremely hot at the back. Now running alot cooler. Thanks for the advice.
Have no idea what happened. Something was seriously draining the battery though. Glad its fixed. Thanks again
First time posting , I guess, usually I just browse through for info... but now I feel a bit in a dead end.
Spent a few days snowboarding with the phone in pocket, so exposure to cold subzero temp. lowest around maybe -10, only symptom during that period was camera started flickering showing purple lines but worked fine later on.
Also had trouble charging one night, as phone spent entire night being plugged in only to show it was discharging the whole time, and battery low in the morning, couldn't get it charge even after cleaning port making sure its clean and dry.
Phone ended up running out juice and powering down completely... it didn't respond for hours (tried different chargers) but than suddenly the power bank I use showed it started drawing about 9V and 0.1/0.2A for some time and it slowly started drawing more power and charging to 100% took more time then usual...
Next time I tried charging it when it became low around 20% it wouldn't charge from the wall charger or battery charger.
Tried a lot of resetting, rebooting, but the battery just started dropping really fast each reset.
Plugged it in and tried the volume up/down, power button reset but all that did was a multiple resets and still wouldn't draw charge from anything.
In the end it just stopped responding to anything.
I would show a few orange flashes when I plug it to something and than stop.
Tried leaving it plugged in all night but nothing. Leaving it alone for 3 days also did nothing.
Then it stopped even showing the few orange blinks.
Current status:
Plugged it into computer usb and started showing orange flashes, decided to leave it plugged in.
Showed on screen the battery and 0% after a few min. Screen brightness increased after 20min.
Now its been 3h and its still only showing 0% for battery and flashing the orange light every few seconds, nothing else.
Will go to sleep now and leave it plugged in computer all night.

Have you tried a different USB cable & charger?
There have been numerous reports in these forums concerning charging issues with the device. If you've cleaned the USB port on the phone and have tried multiple USB cables and chargers, then most likely your battery is the culprit and needs to be replaced.

In a lot of cases they managed to restart the phone...
Yes I did that. Phone is still showing 0% battery after being plugged in computer usb, I find it funny how it wasn't responding at all to the wall chargers. Now for the question of the day, can I have the battery replaced without losing data? I asked a service center that kinda could be a HTC representative but cannot confirm it and they insisted that they have to do factory reset.

Can you charge the phone up and get the phone to boot to TWRP? If so you can mount your phone to your computer and back up all of your files on your internal storage to your computer.

I don't have TWRP but I just did manage to enter the stock recovery? and its just sitting there not really charging up but using 9V and 0.4A to stay powered up in that mode.
Can you tell me if I go to service center to get the battery changed will I lose all data by default of that process?

I wouldn't think that merely changing the battery would cause you to lose your data, or why they would do anything to your phone that would wipe your data from the phone.

Alright, that was my primary concern, thank you. The service sector where I live is pretty bad, and they do stupid stuff, follow stupid rules.
Update: I switched through a couple of chargers, and tried going into recovery after which I initiated a restart, phone booted normally and showed 24% battery, now is connected to original QC 3.0 ... and charging up, but stopped after 1%, I unplugged it and plugged it again and it continues to charge now with steady orange light? this is really nerve wrecking... what is the real issue? battery, charging port?
My goal is to try to charge 100% back up everything and then I can send it service.
