[Sony Xperia M] paper13579:
Hey guys, what's up?!

First and foremost, I want to say, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE TO WHATEVER MAY HAPPEN. This method is working smoothly for me and I hope it helps you two.

Ok, so recently, I found out that my phone isn't charging with the normal USB cord anymore. Like I put it in, and the LED lights up, but it's not charging at all. After trying many different chargers and USB cords, I realised that the problem is with the phone. I would keep it in charging for hours, and not a single percent goes up, it goes only down. So I wanted a new way to charge my phone and so I came up with this. After figuring it out, I realised that it charges my phone sooo much faster than with the normal cord. PLEASE FOLLOW EVERYTHING I SAY, AND MAKE SURE TO READ THE TROUBLESHOOTING SECTION AFTER THE GUIDE.

___--NOTE--___

1. You may want to have a backup USB cord. But if you follow this guide precisely, you won't need it.

2. Have patience and and time

3. Again, I am not responsible for anything that may happen to you, your phone, your house, your life or your mental state.

11. Now you should be left with a black insulated wire and red insulated wire.

12. Cut off three quarters of a centimeter of the red insulation of the red wire. This is hard, make sure you cut only the insulation and not the wires inside.

15. Now the cord is ready. Take the back cover off your phone.

16. Take out the battery to see this ( note, the phone I am showing this on is not an xperia M, because I was taking the picture on the xperia M. However, it still looks similar and this tutorial works for pretty much all androids!!)

17. Note that there is a + and - on the battery. The two small pins in front of the + is where you will put the red wire. The two small pins in front of the - is where you will put the black wire. SO REMEMBER, RED IS + AND BLACK IS -

20. After about 40-50 minutes. REMOVE THE CORD FROM THE CHARGER, take out the battery, remove the wires, reinsert the battery and turn the phone on. VOILA

___--TROUBLESHOOTING--___

1. You will notice that your charger will be very hot. This is normal and ok. Just let it be

2. You will know that your phone has reached 100% when the charger begins to cool down or has already cooled down

3. You can use your phone while it's charging, just make sure not to tangle the wires at the back.

4. I cannot stress this enough, make sure to take the USB cord out of the charger when finished charging.
