[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pdamouse:
Do NOT do this. Don't drain the Li-Polymer battery down to 0, same with Li-Ions, if you discharge it beyond a certain point it can't build up a charge properly and will no longer charge with the standard charger. In that case you can trick it back into service by playing with it and unofficial chargers, or reconnecting it, and hoping it will build up just enough to charge fully. The charger circuits in the phone have a safety sensor and if the battery has gone too low it can't start the chain reaction that begins the charging and builds up to the entire battery being fully charged - it needs that critical mass to start off with. You can google this.

All I can say is I used to think that the best thing was to fully discharge and I've killed about 2 laptop batteries and a couple of other Li-Ion/Li-Polymer batteries because of that before I learned better. It just puts too much strain on the battery, and if you persist at this then you'll have one that lasts a significant amount less than it used to (one laptop battery I had lasted about 5 mins and that was it - the other wouldn't even turn on). You want to discharge it down to 3% maybe, and use it to 1% if you absolutely have to in an emergency - but if you can avoid it, never use the battery to the point it dies. And don't try to turn it back on again without charging it, because that will suck out the very last bit of power and then it may not charge again.

Yikes.

I just got my Xperia a few days ago, and this exact thing happened to me. This is my first Windows Mobile device.

The battery was 100% last night (charged from my computer), and I shut down the computer and put the phone in standby. When I tried to turn it back on, it automatically shut off before completely powering up.

Since I was having trouble with freezing on a rom I flashed to it, I though that that the software just crashed, so I reflashed it with another.

Big WHEW that it didn't shut off mid-flash.

Red lights showed up after, and after waiting about 20 minutes, I turned it back on to see battery at 8%. I guess I'll just need to remember to completely shut it down at night.

Happened to me just now - took out the multimeter and the battery read 3.25V... way too low for regular charging.

Found an old Nokia charger with 5.0V @ 700mA output; stripped it down to the leads and attached it to the battery for about 4 minutes. Voltage reads 3.8V.

Put the battery back in x1, automatic power-up and boot. Now happily charging with the wall charger attached.

A good fix

I've tried everything. I saw the one with cutting off the cable. It worked on that way only with another step.

First ive cut the usb cable (for the pc)

Than i plugged the cables togheter again but only red and black

I had an extern usb hub so ive plugged into that

Than I plugged the power cable (5v) of the extern usb hub.

After 5 minutes my mobile started charging.

It worked for me.

is there some normal charger where you can put just the battery alone ? i got the same problem with battery as all others.. i have fixed the battery now but it will be great to have a charger where you can simple put the battery and you are done (its hard to do some sodering and those things every time when it come to zero..)

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viper.:
well first time when that happend to me i have took off the battery out from the phone ,then i have connected it to digital camera li-ion charger ,and left it for about 3 hours. When that was over i have put battery back to the phone and the phone has booted up again . :)

few seconds or 15-30minutes its not enough to charge the battery..

second time i have ordered charger from ebay . I was so pissed with wires and li-ion charger because the battery didnt fit the chrager from digital camera. You know i have to put wires on contacts on battery and pray that is connected right..and ya all know that soldering is dangerous on batteries,so i was supposed to connect wires manually..

so i suggest you to do the same,i mean go buy that charger(charges battery right from the wall,no cable need ),its good and saves alot of time,and plus you get free battery ;) !

I read this post a while back and didnt think it would happen to me - then when i was driving out south i needed to use tomtom gps then the program drained all its battery life - so i connected it to the laptop via usb to charge it but i noticed tomtom was draining soo much that i couldnt charge it at the same time, it was blacking out and returning to the main menu, so i turned it off only to find the red light of temporary death,i didnt have the power connector or internet to find a solution till i came home.

but it works now, :)

having the same issue here.

after using the nueDynamicClock-122-v1.3-pack.zip to have the cpu at constant speed and at 1.1V. it completely drained out my battery.

at first the power button is blinking red. after charging a while, it become constant red. all this done using x1 SE original charger.

after 8 hours, the constant red will be gone, but the illuminator still doesnt show it is charging.

plan 2 leave it for completely 24 hours without touching it....god plz help, i luv tis phone...
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] altae:
I suggest the following: If your phone switched of because of an empty battery immediately recharge or replace the battery by another one that is charged. I have got a secondary battery in my pocket and every time one battery runs out of power I replace it. So far I have never experienced the red light issue. And I empty my battery frequently.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myonedeco:
i tried ALL that's available methods found in google and xda for this issue...lol~

think i found the root cause....i saw my battery and phone water sensor is red/pink.

i'm gonna open up the whole thing and let it dry, maybe use a hair dryer or silica gel to dry up everything in there.

will let you guys know whether i succeed or broke the x1 later....lol~
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myonedeco:
well....what can i say.....i'm a genius!!!

X1 is RUNNING AGAIN!

For those who encountered this issue: RED light on power button

1. Charge with X1 SE original charger -> try for at least half a day

2. else, remove battery while charging and insert it back.

3. else, check the water sensor on both battery and phone -> red means its wet. Dry it off by disassemble the whole phone.

Before quickly turn on the phone, do let it charge for at least 5 minutes.

You'll see the illuminator light....which is the LIGHT that YOUR PHONE IS NOT DEAD yet....lol~

hope this helps, its been 1 hell of a ride these 2 days....again i luv my X1....woohoo!!!
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Muo:
I also ran my battery extremely dead until I got the red light. I first cleaned the battery terminals (which did seem to have some lint on it) then left it charging.

The red light went away and the normal charge lights came on within 10 minutes. Booted it up and everything was good to go.

Thank you very much for everyones support in this thread. I have learned a lot about how the X1 handles no charge.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jib_intelli:
I had a similar problem ewith my X1i and tried everything mentioned here. But still the phone would not charge. So this is advice to those who have tried everything but the phone doesn't charge:

1. BEFORE doing anything else, check to make sure there is no white spots/patches in either the phone's charging port or the mini-USB port of the charger.

2. In case you notice the white patches/silicates - take your phone to the service center as the white silicates are due to water damage. And no - it

DOES NOT make your X1 out of Warranty :D

I got mine repaired. Hope this helps someone!

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xuhybrid:
If you're plugging the phone into your computer to charge it, it won't recognise the phone or install any necessary drivers when its completely dead. If you plug it into the mains it should charge up as it should and then turn on. You will then be able to plug it back into your computer to charge it if necessary.

I had this problem with my Xperia Play.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VSJ:
It's my theory,

it's your battery,

Try to search @ batteryuniversity how a battery (li-pol) works

I was working @ a battery supplier and I know how Li-Po and other kind battery works

AFAIK when your battery (Lithium-based) is below the lowest treshold, your battery might be having failure, it's the reason why you can't leave Li-Ion battery uncharged (since Li-Ion can degrade 1-5% each year) and it's also the reason when you bought a new phone, there's 50% to 80% power is charged, this will prevent the battery to be dead if the phone is not sold. I suggest Li-Po is working in the same way

Solution: it can be charge to wake it up with a different voltage to "shock" Cells in your battery. But it's the way to advance, my suggestion just bought a new battery, not too expensive anyway.

Okay that's my opinion based on knowledge that I know if you have other informateion just help this TS, he's feeling so sick.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twinblade:
Recovering from red light under ON button.

I had this same problem while on a business trip. I was using Android custom ROM and despite the unit was connected to the car charger, the phone was not charging (a common issue in Android... now I know).

Android fully depleted the battery and the phone simply died (no shutdown). When I put my SE wall charger in the plug... horror... a red light pops up under the power button and the phone did not boot-up.

After one hour and a half of trying all of the charger I managed to find, putting and removing batteries and soft resets I managed to start charging again by connecting the phone to my PC.

My explanation of the problem (guessed):

Li-Po batteries needs a minimum power level to work properly and not be damaged, that's why all units have a shutdown procedure when the battery level hits a certain threshold. Android kernel simply don't manage the battery level properly and let the phone suck up all juice from the battery itself until full depletion.

The phone's battery manager is in charge of checking the status of the installed battery even for "dumb charging" through a wall charger and, reading a too low voltage value in the battery, denies both booting AND charging to avoid damages to the phone (maybe it reads the battery as it has a short circuit or the like).

By connecting the phone to the PC, I saw that some drivers were loaded for boot time interfaces (Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM). In my understanding, this means that some module inside the phone was powered up using the USB cable even if the "flashing leds" showing charging were not shown. By leaving the phone in this status for some time without turning it on, I managed to bring back the battery to its minimum functional status and I was able to boot it again. The only issue is that the phone will not boot when this status is activated, it needs a battery pull to clear the status.

[Fuhu Nabi 2] laynedollar:
I've been feverishly searching the Internet for a working NabiLab download link and was hoping someone might could help or provide some insight into my problem. I'm attempting to root a Nabi Jr 16GB (NV5B) which I recently acquired along w/ several other devices, both working and non, for $10. It would be great to get it to run the Play Store and possibly even install YouTube, YT Kids, YT TV, or Netflix, but honestly I would be happy for this Nabi just to work w/ it's original factory ROM & Nick Jr content for my 2yr old son. I did manage to find what I think is the original factory ROM for this tablet (named NABIJRBstock.zip ~5.5MB) but TBH haven't yet tried to install Windows drivers or flash anything to the device yet, mainly b/c I'm not sure it would solve my main problem: while the device powers on and plays the included Nick Jr videos, games, takes pix, etc, there is some weird mirrored display issue where the entire screen image is reversed like a mirror image, which may be fine until my son starts learning to read if it weren't for my other major issue involving touch input. Any touch action actually effects a tap at a mirrored location opposite and equidistant from a center line horizontally across the screen... is the best way I can describe this strange and absolutely maddening behavior. I've created a YouTube video demonstrating the screen & touch weirdness. I've tried a regular factory reset but no change.

Has anyone ever seen a device behave this way, Nabi or otherwise? I'm thinking the mirrored display and offset touch must be related, but what could be the cause? 🤔 Any advice or suggestion is greatly appreciated. Thanks for reading and have a great day! :)

Make sure gboard is set up as the keyboard you want to use in settings and continue.

I made sure that watch is connected via Bluetooth and enabled wifi on there as well.

Then I rebooted my watch and when it booted up i got this notification again. Now i opened up reminder or any other app which opens the keyboard.

Gboard will open and a little textbox will show up stating it will download a language.

I let it sit there until screen got dark and waited around 5 minutes. After that i checked my watch seeing the gboard notification had gone.
