Charging problem - Sony Xperia XA1 Ultra Questions & Answers

Hi. My xperia xa1 ultra randomly slowed down charging speed. I tried calibrate battery. factory reset nothing helped
I remeber It was above 1000ma now its just 550 or less any Ideas what happend?

I could not guess from what you giving of info what could have happend
But if it was a system update then the old one worked better for you
If you changed the wall charger socket .. so you pluged in your charger
in different socket it can make a change to
Sometimes the charger gets hot in some sockets in other it does not even get warm
So, the wall socket is important too .. where you charge it..
If you changed the original charger.. yeah..it can get worse but also it can get better..
And sometimes also the cable..some stock cable are sometimes worse then evan the
cheap eBay one.. I have had some experiance that some cheap ebay cable gave me the best Volt charge for my phones
So, you need to look now what could it be..
Hope I have helped
But maybe it will get better with some update again..or get worse..or stay same..
You need to test it more in different situations

Did you get this problem resolved? I'm currently experiencing the same issue and I'm about to buy a new battery to see if that helps and don't wish to waste my money.

From a mechanic stand point. Getting a new battery is probably not gonna change how fast juice gets put in. A battery is for storing. The motherboard controls the flow rate as well as your charger

[Q] Ipod/Iphone charger results in buggy touchscreen?

I think nobody asked this question before since I didn't find it even loking in Google
Since I got mi Desire I realised that not every charger works for it, I have an USB charger that went with a bluetooth dongle I bought (with same specs) but seems to be a lie because the battery keeps draining when plugged in, but that's not the problem I actually have.
My original HTC charger broke after three weeks of normal use , since there are no HTC stores in my country I went to an Apple store and bought and Iphone charger wich has the same specs as the broken stock one (Output 5V 1A). The problem is that sometimes when I plug the phone (usualy I charge my phone overnight), the screen becomes buggy, sometimes not responsive and sometimes over responsive (eg. if I click on an icon to move it into the home screen, it responds as if I clicked that icon several times very quickly). At first I thougt it was a ROM issue, but at this moment I already tried LeeDroid, OpenDesire and now I'm on teppic74's rooted Froyo and had similar issues in everyone of them. It's not really a mind breaker since I am ussually sleeping while charging, but I wonder if I'm not killing the battery or causing any kind of damage to the phone.
Can anybody give me a hand on this?
Thanks
Why not just order a charger online?
I don't know if it hurts the phone or the battery.
But if my screen went super-laggy and over-responsive by charging it..
I'd throw the charger out.
Already ordered, but I was wondering if someone happened to know a technical reason for this to happen, the phone doesn't overheat and the charging process works as a charm, the only issue is the screen wich sometimes behaves perfectly normal
Guess I will give the charger to any iphone owner when I get the original one (I have to buy in the UK store.. totally overseas)
My phone does the same thing if I use a PS3 charger (Just the usb to wall socket part). When I was in a phone shop, I noticed their Desire HD that was on display did the same thing. From what I can gather, it doesn't do any damage and happens with a lot of aftermarket chargers. Don't take my word for that though, hope I shed some light
Hello
Have same problem with my recently buyed HTC Desire while charging with non-original charger (from Nokia).
First time I'm worried about phone, but after reading charger's characteristics I found some difference in power.
So I think while phone charging it's receives less power than needed for normal work.

You probably have a dead battery...Someone who has seen this problem before could confirm.
The way you write is pretty hard to read, so you might wait a while until someone does confirm this .
1. Never charge the phone for the whole night.
2. I had the same problem. I changed my charger and now, it is perfectly charging. Try it.

thanx for suggestion, how much do i hav to pay for a new charger??
But you said you left it to charge via USB cable on your PC and it didn't charge properly. If you used the same USB cable with the charger, then the cable might be to blame. You should try a friends cable before buying a new charger.
If the charger does not work with the same USB cable you used to connect to the PC, your battery is most probably dead.

Charging all night isn't an issue.
The battery will charge to 100% then drop to 95% and back up, will cause no damage.
Also smaller and often charges are better for the battery as it slows the formation of crystals so the battery holds its capacity longer.

If you have used 2 different cables to charge and none worked properly, that is probably too big of a coincidence. Your phone has something broken; it's either the battery or the charging circuit in the phone. You should take it to a specialized phone service to see what's wrong. They will also try charging it before disassembling, and if there's nothing wrong with the phone, they probably won't even charge you anything.
If indeed they have to disassemble it, you should ask them if there will be any visible differences once they assemble is back. I had a cracked digitizer on my old One X and took it to service and replaced the display+digitizer(they come together) and, although the screen was new, it did not fit as snugly as before, so you could see light leaking out the side margins of the display.
They probably had many of these phones under repair and should know if this will be the case with your phone.

Xperia Play red light

Hi,
yesterday I bought a used R800i, the seller said I just need to charge the Battery. So back at home i plugged it to a charger an the LED near the power button startet blinking. First I thought it´s not a big deal but after a couple of hours it was clear that this is not alrigt. Even if i remove the battery the red light keeps blinking continuous (not 3 times or something similar, just every second once). I don´t know if it´s a software or hardware bug but could you help me to get it fixed?
best Regards
Lukas
It could be empty battery (but voltage level is not high enough to start charging).
Check with flashtool can you enter flash mode or fastboot mode (if you can, then it's probably empty battery)
If you can, check voltage level of battery with voltmeter.
It can be that motherboard is dead, but to be sure, you must know what is voltage level of battery.
For now, try leaving it charging, it might take some time (few hours or more) to actually start charging...

If battery have 0 volts then it's dead and (most likely) can't be charged anymore. You need new battery, so you can know is motherboard is working or not.
But that is just my opinion, and i could be wrong...
Maybe to try and charge battery from external source of 5V power , easiest way is cut some usb cable or take two wires from PC's molex connector (red is +5V, black is GND) and charge it for shortly (about 30sec-1min) and measure does it have at least 3.2V. Repeat short charging untill it does. If it stay on 0V then is dead for sure.
I was really able to charge the battery over a cut USB cable. I got it to boot until lookscreen (digitizer does not response) but then the battery turned hot and the Xperia shut down. I ordered now a new battery then it should work again

Digitizer not working could be faulty slider-flex cable or simply software error due overheating. You'll know with new battery...
Flex Cable looks like this, should I get a new one?

Yes, that's slider flex cable.
But wait untill you get new battery. Then you'll know does it have more problems or it is working normally
Sad News, today I got the new battery and i was even able to boot up the phone, but like the last time i was able to boot it up the battery and the mainboard got hot. I think the loading circuit is broken. So there are two options 1. buy a external charger for the batterie or 2. sell the phone as rarely used on ebay
No really I´m selling it, even if i get a charger theres also the problem with the not working digitzer. Thanks for your Help but this is ways to big for me.

Sorry to hear that. Obviously problem is much bigger and hard to tell what is wrong without some proffesional look into it (lot of reasons for phone to get hot by itself - there is short circuit somewhere and that's why it's draing battery fast and causing overheating). I don't think external charger will solve problems.
Anyway, good luck :good:

Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 (SM-T311) not charging: troubleshooting help needed

Hi there,
I have received this Galaxy Tab 3 (SM-T311) and it does not turn on nor charge.
I have tried the various suggested button presses, I have tried unplugging the battery for a while. Now I am leaving it to charge but this was already tested by the previous owner with no success.
I would like to find out if charger circuit, battery or motherboard need replacement.
I have tested with a multimeter that battery leads show 3.7V - with charger plugged or not. With battery removed the leads show a value of 0.4V.
Can somebody help to figure out whether it is a battery problem, a charger circuit problem or a motherboard problem? I think it might be one of the first two since battery charge should not be so low.
Thanks
By the way, I have already been through this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2VJ_VRIRSI
Which comes from this blog post: http://www.bigpicturebigsound.com/Samsung-Galaxy-Tab-3-Won-t-Charge-or-Turn-On---How-to-Fix.shtml
I am not using the original charger and cable but a 2A one, sorry but I do not believe that the original USB cable and PSU would be any different it's like with HDMI, it's a standard. The only thing that could change is the power intensity which is 2A as per original.

Sorry I can't help, except to say it sounds just like my problem. I'd been using mine mainly as a clock/alarm clock using a great alarm app. The battery was good enough to last about 15 or more hours with a clock display on, but then I left for a 2 week vacation, and decided to turn the tablet off rather than leave it on a charger. Came back and it was dead.
I also did all sorts of button presses, used various chargers and cables (I have the original charger, which works for other devices, but didn't help). I disconnected the battery for several hours. Tried charging off a computer USB-2 port. etc, etc. Still, "It's dead, Jim".
I suspect it's the battery, which is pretty old now, and has been left on the charger a lot lately, though not 24 hours a day. Lithium batteries don't like to go totally dead, but I guess that's what happened. If the tablet were still useful to me, I'd try a cheap one from Amazon, not really expecting it to last a long time, but useful to see if it works without losing too much.
I've seen one repair tech who fixed a similar problem by disconnecting the battery and connecting it to a power supply briefly to give the battery enough of a charge to get the phone to start charging it normally. Obviously, this is something that mere mortals would not be able to do.

Phone doesn't charge at 0%?

The title is a little barebones so I'll try to explain. I recently had to get a battery replacement due to the original one exploding, and all was great, until it hit 0%. It stopped charging. I thought maybe it was the battery again so I replaced it once more. The phone charges while it is on, but once it hits 0% and turns off, the battery refuses to charge at all. I thought maybe it could be the charging port, but wireless chargers don't charge it either.
I did a dumb too and didn't send it back to LG to get it fixed in the first place, so it's officially out of warranty and will cost $900+ to fix. So far nothing on the internet has helped at all, so I'm thinking this may be a unique issue and I have no idea how to fix it. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
Try booting into download mode without battery.. Then try to connect it while phone is on.

whatda! as in Kaboom!
Hi I've got this very issue, was it ever solved?
No help but disharging your battery to 0% is realy bad for your battery. Try to charge it as offen as u can. It will extend your battery lifetime
What chargers did you try to charge the phone with?
I've had multiple "bricked" devices live again after connecting them to a charger that supported Qualcomm Quickcharge (or at least supply more than the average laptop USB port).
