ok thanks i know that......

and thats the main problem the phone wont vibrate... wont turn on

it only does NOTHING.

and for fastboot mode .... I thought it needed the bootloader unlocked :eek:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kartobot:
You could still get into flashmode as well.

And you don't need to have the bootloader unlocked for fastboot,but you can't flash stuff like other kernels than stock.

But if you are able to get into fastboot,you know that it is not dead.

Try charging it over night and then try getting it into flashmode by pressing vol down while plugging the USB in,it worked for me when I flashed MIUI without a kernel.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] elvirag:
You can try using Sony update service, or just go to pc companion. In the update section you can click on repair. The phone doesn't need to be in any mode, it will say it automatically if it recognizes your phone. Which is naturally good news. Gl. I thought I bricked my phone a month ago. Those phones are unbrickable!!!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] leechgod27:
By reading all the comments i think that Your battery is dead(and its not replaceable either).What was the battery % when you gave him the phone?Whatever happened...it is not allowing battery to charge.Removing battery means breaking warranty.So i would suggest you to go to the sony shop,as a last resort!

Dont tell them anything about what happened,just say battery ran out and now its not starting.

See this(non-removable battery) is a big reason unbrickable phones also brick.

To use the "repair" option you need to have your phone turned on with minimum 50% battery!!!

nrcheq much

hey broo...i had the same problem....the battery drain was sooo crazy...so i started to flash the doom kernel v4a and then the XHS v3 rom..nothing wrong...started fine ...but the problem was ...no wifi...get an error while starting the wifi service...i downloaded the hotfix from doomlord...and installed it via recovery mode...so i got a boootloop...while boot looping several times ..battery ran out...same problem...lucky cuz i have a warranty..went to the shop and he told me he charged the battery external...and replaced it back and started fine....BTW i started the same topic and someone deleted it..so my advice for you...your phone is not broken...its just empty...charged it external ..and i hope it will work with you.

if it works...let me know.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] xumengxi:
i also got my phone rooted without unlocking bl ,installed cwm recovery and found out that battery cannot be charged when the phone is turned off..someone told me that version of recovery replaced the stock power-off charging program..

so i think your phone is just out of energy.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] coolcity:
It worked for my Xperia P today too, brilliant, thank you. I was really flapping because I go on vacation tomorrow and a lot of my ticket information is in the phone.

I was only restoring my contacts from PC after an update when mine died.

---------- Post added at 12:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:12 PM ----------

My Xperia P died WHEN I was using PC companion!

PC Companion won't recognise your phone in any event if the phone isn't switched on. The program is garbage anyway, I have tried it on two different laptops (including a Sony Vaio) and when trying to restore stuff back to the phone it hangs all the time.

you can use emma flashtool by sony to flash stock firmware but you must get into fastboot mod charge your phone gt emma ready then plug in your phone with vol - hold and then flashwith emma flashtool

Awesome!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] woody296:
. Ok, so to make this seem like it is actually an important piece of news can anybody actually give any statistics showing that this was an item widely used and loved by people? I'm a clown, I know nothing about it. If you say google hired tim cook away from apple that means something to me. Google only paid 25 million for this outfit does that mean it sucks or will any of us android users benefit from this? Sorry to come off stupid but i am. Give me a little knowledge please and thank you.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] LiquidSolstice:
Sparrow is loved by many people because although it can be used for multiple email services, it specializes and really shines with GMail. In fact, having used it, I can say it's almost better looking and more functional than our own Android GMail app. The desktop app for OS X (which I played with on my brother's Air) is fantastic, and I sorely wish we had something similar on Windows. Thunderbird just isn't what I want.

That being said, I don't know how this is a "slap in the face to Apple". The Sparrow team specifically said they're not dropping the app at all, and it will continue to receive support. If this makes you giggle, I guess you laugh very easily then...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PsiPhiDan:
True that they'll still support Apple, but would it be safe to say that Google won't want them supporting it as much as usual? I would think their attention will be elsewhere typically.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mbaseball3:
Anything that directly or indirectly affects apple in their gloat train does make me laugh. For google to purchase a company that up until today only supported apple, makes it a good day. True they'll still support apple as google already does, but it takes yet another item away that apple can say is 'theirs' per say.

I am unsure what you mean by "gloat train", and I'm not sure I agree with your opinion about "taking away an item", but that of course is your opinion.

Sorry you feel that way. Threads get shut down when they get out of hand, you know, flaming, trolling, etc. So if this one can stay civil, then it will remain open.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] woody296:
"Google has struggled with its Gmail app for iOS. The company likely brought the Sparrow team in to help improve its Gmail experience on iOS and Mac, as well as potentially Android and PCs" This is a quote from mashable. So in reality It seems they are trying to make google and mac work better together. There could be no better outcome than that.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KaoMinerva:
Most of the debates I'm the Apple threads are entertaining & educational. I learn a lot from reading threads & replies here, but every time a mod shuts down all the fun. A heated debate won't kill nobody

LT. EVO reporting sir!!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] huludical:
So our Gmail app is getting a face lift. Sounds good! Hopefully in the long run they will stop supporting apple. Long shot though.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] woody296:
So this program will work better or have more features when they stop supporting apple? Please explain?:confused:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] huludical:
Naw man. I just don't like apple lol. I know that you and liquidsolistice don't have a problem with apple and that's cool. You guys make it known every thread that has anything to do with apple.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] woody296:
I know, i cant' help myself. I keep seeing people panicking over things that will probably mean nothing and it drives me nuts. Mark my words all this patent crap, etc will turn out to be nothing when it's over. One side will win for a while, and the other, it's the old unstoppable force meets an immovable object.

Turn About is Fair Play

I was on Appadvice today and they were basically having a "wake" for the Sparrow iOS app. The question that comes to mind is... "What about Chomp?" It was an app that help you when shopping for an app in the overcrowded Google Play Store but once Apple bought it...Poof! Gone!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Anthonicia:
Google's mobile branch makes most of its money thru Apple and Mac users. So, unless there is a google boycott from Apple causing a dip in the red, why would google stop supporting them?

Maybe got a little too ahead of myself. Just makes little sense for google to acquire Sparrow and have them continue to support Apple. That is until u know the details of what Sparrow makes and why Google acquired them. Not sure why Apple would mind Google sponsoring development of the gmail app for Mac.

If there is something I'm missing please let me know before calling me names, but shouldn't Apple be giggling?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] babyschmoof:
I give Samsung credit for their water live wallpaper. It's not as obtrusive as the HTC version that animates water over rocks. Has anyone seen one for our phone that is as well done?

Side note - - For those craving S Voice, it's not that much better than the few voice recognition programs we can get on the store. It's actually designed by Vlingo. Download their beta version and it's almost the same. Unless it's really embedded in the os, it's rather useless. I already waste too much time yelling at the automated phone systems, no need to yell at our phones too. Every iPhone user told me after two weeks, they stop using it.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoberGalarga:
The Razr is the best (Dual Core OMAP, PowerVR SGX540, 16Gb internal storage, SuperAMOLED).

Take a look the Samsung Captivate (i987), a pretty good phone with a lot of support from developers community ;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Valdevies:

Go with the razr xt910, it's astonishing! Take look to the razr maxx also, it has ICS..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joll3:

Personally I went for gs3 since it's the best. Super amoled ext .sd card removable battery outstanding community support etc. :p

Droid razzr max would be my choice also if that's a justifiable investment. ICS is a must and battery life in smartphones has to be good for them to be truly portable

Hello, unfortunately my phone took the opportunity to have the power button jam and cause it to loop on and off whilst it was charging for roughly 7 hours. The phone now hangs at the "Samsung Galaxy SIII" Screen.

Is there any other workaway around this?

I have read around the forum and tried different usb ports but to no avail.

i did a reset userdata and cache thru recovery when i forgot my pattern lock, since then its not booted! ive tried everything, bbut the problem is still the same!

and when u boot the phone in boot-loader mode to flash with odin i get these;

OR

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
You don't need to get into recovery when using Odin. You need download mode. But any search would have clarified that ;)

Power off and press :

Vol down + home + power (keep depressed until download mode)

Same for recovery (Vol up instead)

Entering recovery has nothing to do with this process

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beatsleigher:
Try using Odin version 1.85.

You can download the pit file at sammobile.com/firmware and tick pit file AND re-partition.

That should get everything working again, you will lose all your data, though because it'll format your device completely and then set up each and every partition bit by bit..
