[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrCham23:
Heya,

I've been using my OPO for 2 months now and suddently it started charging slowly. I'm on stock (everything) with original cable. I've tried other cables as well (to power outlet & USB). Charging the phone whilst having it off doesn't seem to improve the speed of charging.

During the night, it charged 6%. Impressive stuff. Anyone with ideas?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Seems like its for sure a problem. You're sure that the cable isn't getting loose and is not charging right? Check about phone, does it say Charging (AC)?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrCham23:
Yes, it shows the charging symbol... I'ma shut it down for a couple of minutes and hope it heals itself. Plan B will be to put it in the fridge overnight.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
You're using the original charger as well? Have you tried any other chargers that are 1.8 A?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GTCC:
Also if you can try your OnePlus charger and cable in another phone.

Why put it in the fridge?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrCham23:
Yes it's the original. I've tried 1.8A micro USB charger from my Blackberry and 2.0A from SGS5 as well with no result. But I got it working (explanation below).

The charger worked fine with my Blackberry and SGS5.

The fridge thing was just a joke ;)

However, the solution was really unexpected. Everything was stock, so I decided to root it and try a custom rom/kernel. I switched to Mahdi and AK and then it started working again. 10% in 30 minutes. So I reverted to stock and everything is working now. Now I'm just puzzled to why this happened in the first place, and if it will happen again... :confused:
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GTCC:
10% 30 minutes doesn't sound right, mine charges 35% in 30 minutes.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gamm86:
Your batterystats.bin file was most likely bugged.

Should you experience this problem again, delete it. It's located in /data/system/ or use the app battery calibration from the Play store.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrCham23:
Hm.. same problems now again.. 2% in 4 hours. Will delete batterystats.bin and hope for the best.

God damn it.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -Marco:
Yeah, it's a common bug on some OPO. Mine is quite good for charge but my friend's opo got a some problem and one of this is the slow recharge.

Do a full wipe and flash a new ROM or older 11S

Yes, sorry, 38R.

I'm thinking of installing a custom ROM - but I like stock a lot. But this battery bug is preventing me to keep the phone up to date.

I'm relative new to this phone and I don't know all the ROMs. Any advice would be appreciated.

Cheers

LiquidSmooth is best custom for the OPO.

Or try CM stock and not CM 11 OS (also called CM11S

Install any ROM except the ones based on Omni.. (like the SlimROMs) and flash boeffla kernel. Keep the AC Charging Current up to 2200A. It says it may damage the USB Cable or charger but nothing ever happened to my Galaxy S3 (on the same kernel) or OPO. It charges extremely fast with the original USB cable and charger. Try it! Worked for all my friends!

I have bought the OPO 1 year back but started facing the slow charging problem since last couple of months. I think it has to do something with recent CM updates. When phone is on, it charges 3% in 45 mins but when we switch it off and keep for charging it charges 25% in just 30 mins. Strange.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] theoutzu:
Well, i tryied to see what information i retrieve with the french rom of qtek 9100 executable, u know, the screen in wich u can get info about the device language, image versiion and model make. Followed the standard procedure , CID unlocked, backed up the rom, no need to sim unlock cbecause it was no locked. Here comes the weird part: the screen that was supposed to return the info (where u still can quit),didn't return any info, it was like upgrading nothing to nothing. It's a g3 and i did the normal way to CID unlock it. now whehn i reboot the phone, the SPL remained the same (1.01), but the IPL has changed from 1.01 to IPL 1.01.0000. Why those four zeros?...neve knew.Anyway i didn't installed any rom , because of no info on that screen...was afraid not to damage my device :D . If i want to install a new rom do i have to CID unlock again, even if i didn't installed any?

So this morning i unplugged my phone, fully charged, and used a flashlight app. Then all of the sudden my phone just went black and i have not been able to get it to do anything for over an hour and a half now. No matter what i do it will not turn on. Ive tried to power button/rockers combo to get it to turn on, nothing, Ive tried the little button in the sd card compartment, nothing.... Anyone else have this issue? I cannot find anything on the Z3 for this, only stuff for the older models... Thanks.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nobby00900:
Hold volume up and power button until the phone vibrates. Then connect a USB cable to your computer while holding volume down on the phone. If the phone is recognised by the pc you should be able to flash your phone using flash tool and hopefully that will get you back up and running. That's the only solution I can think of. Maybe some other members might be able to help if this don't work.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Planeck:
Nothing... I cant get the phone to do anything at all. I really do not understand.

Hello, my girlfriend have the same problem in his Xperia Z3. When she works his phone lying on the desk. She want call to me and the power/lock button don't work. She call to me from other mobile phone and she describe problem. After 10 seconds search in google I find a way to restart phone. She pressed little yellow switch under nano Sim/micro SD plug. Phone power down and never give up. Power button is dead, combinations : vol+ and power , vol- and power, vol+ and vol- and power also didn't work. When I plug the USB cable the charging will start normally. In screen I have a big battery icon with animation.

Maybe someone have similar problem with Z3 and know a solution??
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhinav.tella:
Well if its the button, tap to wake could solve the problem till you decide to get it repaired.

It could also be a battery issue. Try charging for a few hours on a charger and then try turning on

after

connecting to a PC with phone drivers by holding the power button for like 10secs. That is the method used for HTC phones with similar issues.

The HTC One X had battery issues for some where it would not turn on until it was connected to thr charger for a few hours. I had, had the same issue you mentioned and tried the method mentioned above but never turned on. Repair shop tested the battery and eventually had to replace a bad mothetboard.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danw_oz:
That is not normal and even if you could get it back from that sort of failure, you don't want this device unless it is fixed or replaced.

Just happened to me today- Xperia Z3 Compact

So last night, i left my phone to charge after reaching 5%. When I woke up, my phone won't start and it won't charge either. The LED indicator was not lighting when it is plugged.

I tried every trick:

1. Pressed down the power button in different lengths.

2. No. 1 but with the volume down key

3. Pressed down the yellow button on the sim card tray

4. Tested 5 different charger heads and different wires

5. Tried connecting to 2 different laptops to see if my phone will be recognized

I work close by a Sony Center so I was planning on passing by after work. I was already having a really bad day and my phone is not under warranty. Throughout the morning, I'd randomly check the power button if it will finally work. FORTUNATELY, during lunch, the LED indicator finally lit up! The batt was drained so I had to charge it and wait a few minutes before turning it on. Finally it's on. I don't know what the eff happened or if it is really resolved.

I'd still want to know what the hell is wrong with Xperia Z phones??

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heywheelie:
It's called the 'sudden death' bug and a small number of sony xperia phones die from it., including the Z3. It is more common in the Z3 Compact (I suffered from it and had to get it replaced). Just google sony Z3 sudden death.

Did the OP use a quick charger on his Z3? The reason I ask is that the repairer I sent my Z3C to originally said the motherboard was gone and needed to be replaced, possibly cased by current. I used to use a quick charger on my Z3C and wonder if it caused it as the phone worked perfectly for 6 weeks before dying.

There are several so called fixes and workarounds that work for some people, not all. Only a motherboard replacement fixes it properly.

Fix for Z3 not powering up / no charge LED

My Z3 would not power up and no charge LED when cable plugged in. Finally found this solution on Sonymobile support website which fixed my phone!

To force the device to restart

Detach the SIM card slot cover.

Using the tip of a pen or similar object, press and hold down the small OFF button (generally indicated by the text "OFF") until the device has emitted three vibrations, and then release the OFF button. The device turns off automatically.

Charge the device until a charging icon appears on the screen.

Turn on your Xperia™ device.

If a forced restart procedure as described above doesn't succeed in turning on your device, you should try another kind of forced restart - the 2-minute restart procedure.

To force a 2-minute restart

Detach the SIM card slot cover.

Using the tip of a pen or similar object, press and hold down the small OFF button (generally indicated by the text "OFF") for 120 seconds (ignoring any vibrations), and then release the OFF button.

Charge the device until a charging icon appears on the screen.

Turn on your Xperia™ device.

I had to hold the 'off' button for about 60 seconds before the phone vibrated and sprung into life - phew!
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdathekilljoy:
I bought mine with the broken screen so I don't know for sure what happened. Bid won for $37

The led light came on when plugged in, but no vibrations. The computer recognized it and installed as the D6633. Properties show the battery had charged to 29%, 60%, 99%.

But clicking into it just shows a blank page. No folders, drive volumes, or anything.

However if it is not hooked up to a charger or computer then as well as no vibration there is no lights either. Does get a little warm though.

Bought the new display and powerflex. Still wont turn on, no vibrations, and only shows led when plugged in.

Tried the volume up, down, power, all three, reset button in sim tray.

PC Companion can't work with it. It almost worked once but said if there was a google account and I did not have the info I would be facing the whole account lock fiasco....No thank you. Can't even get it to recognize it for that option properly anymore anyway.

Could easily connect it into fastboot mode, but getting it into flash mode took much much much more effort. But eventually I did and flashed an image with flash tool. Went fine. Flashed everything......NO CHANGE......

I'm guessing at this point maybe the board was more damaged than seems....Though it's weird how the computer recognizes it and can flash everything.

Or there is a damaged power IC, transistor, capacitor, or something.

I really hope Sony took care of this in the Z5 and it is no longer an issue in future devices. It was said in a few comments above that only a few people are affected....Yet there are endless searches and pages with a dramatic number of users facing it.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slovac:
This worked for me!!

I held in the "off" button with a pen for 2minutes ... no vibration

then held the on button and up volume for about a minute... nothing happened

then held the on button and the down volume button for about a minute ... nothing

so I plugged it into my laptop and the laptop made a chiming sound like something connected.

disconnected the phone from the laptop and did the down volume and on button routine again.... and hey presto!! the phone switched on!

Thanks for the help guys!

A friend of mine gave me a smashed and bent z3 so I ordered a display assembly with a frame and replaced it properly and the phone worked perfectly fine for a while. I left it on for a few days on the table not using it or anything and when I looked at it it was on 2% battery so I plugged it in and left it charging. After a while I checked it and it was off and never got to turn it on whatever I did. Tried everything above in this thread and still nothing. Being freshly opened I removed the back glass to check all the connections and they are all pressed in nicely. When I plug it in the wall a red led comes on for a few minutes and goes back off.

You can't change the resolution however you can change the font size to small in settings under display. You could also use a different launcher if you don't like the stock one. There may be a way to change it if you have root although there is no way to root with a locked bootloader at the moment

Before last week I never rooted the device Nexus 7 2013(WiFi) or did any other modification.

Last Friday I decided to root the device using towelroot(used it on my Nexus 5 as well) in order to download and install Android 5.0 using an app from the Play Store (I forgot the name it had a nexus logo and it downloaded OTA Image and installed it).

Up until an hour ago everything was fine and the device had 42% of Battery, 10 minutes after the last time I used the device I tried to wake it and the screen just didn't turn on(still won't).

I know the device is on because when I plug it in the USB the computer does the sound of a connected device.

You might have a failure on the board. I had the same issue, and would get a weird driver when I plugged into my computer. I was still in the warranty period, so I RMA'ed, however, if you are not, folks have had luck with opening the tablet, disconnecting the battery, and then reconnecting.

[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Deltadroid:
ClockworkMod recovery (6.0.5.1) for LG G Pad 8.3 v500. This custom recovery installation package is for v500 models only. Built from source on 2014-12-13 by Jenkins.

Installation:

Flash zip file with any custom recovery and reboot into updated CWM recovery.

Link:

v500-CWM-6.0.5.1-20141213-recovery-signed.zip

MD5:

83150942a4f27006691472fa12159631

Note:

An advantage to using the official CWM recovery with CM 11 is that the CWM recovery can be automatically updated with the CM Update tool, if enabled in the CM 11 developer options.

Manual Installation (first time installing custom recovery):

1) Gain root permission (ie; with Stumproot) and install SuperSU and Busybox.

2) Install Terminal Emulator or use ADB for opening up a shell (this example is using ADB).

Note:

If using Terminal Emulator, make sure root access is given via SuperSU.

3) Download CWM installation zip file from the link above and manually extract it. Also, download the loki_tool binary from https://github.com/djrbliss/loki/archive/master.zip. The loki_tool binary is found in the "bin" folder of loki-master.zip after the file is extracted.

4) Copy recovery.img (contained in the CWM installation zip file from step #3) and the loki_tool binary (contained in the loki-master.zip file from step #3) to /data/local/tmp on your LG G Pad 8.3 v500 tablet with either ADB or a root explorer application and make loki_tool executable.

adb push recovery.img /data/local/tmp

adb push loki_tool /data/local/tmp

adb shell

su

chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/loki_tool

Note:

Since the command "su" was entered, the shell has root permissions to proceed.

5) Patch the recovery.img into recovery.lok using loki_tool:

dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/aboot of=/data/local/tmp/aboot.img

/data/local/tmp/loki_tool patch recovery /data/local/tmp/aboot.img /data/local/tmp/recovery.img /data/local/tmp/recovery.lok

Note #1:

At this point in the installation procedure, there have been no permanent changes to the system. If there is an error or warning while patching recovery.img and creating recovery.lok, then stop this manual installation procedure. In most cases, the problem is that the version of aboot.img found on the device is probably not exploitable with loki_tool. This manual custom recovery installation procedure must be started over again from the beginning after flashing a loki exploitable aboot.img to the device (downgrading firmware should help).

Note #2:

If recovery.lok is created successfully without any errors or warnings, then continue with the final step. The shell should still be open with root (su) permissions enabled from the previous steps.

6) Flash recovery.lok file with loki_tool and reboot to new custom recovery.

/data/local/tmp/loki_tool flash recovery /data/local/tmp/recovery.lok

exit

exit

adb reboot recovery
