Hello guys,
I have a problem, i haven't used my VPAIII for 6 months, and some days ago i wanted to turn it on, and it didn't react, so i decided that battery is low, i connected my device to cradle, and wait for some hours. So the problem is then device in cradle it's ok i can switch it on and it works perfectly, but if i remove it from cradle it turns off imediately and i can't turn on it again without connecting to cradle chargement, also it doesnt react to usb connection as chargment. Battery is totaly new it was bought from ebay (expanded 3400 mAH). Interesting thing that if i connect to cradle, device turns on automaticall and 1 time blinks led in red and goes booting system with no led light, after i see Windows screen it starting show the same right led in orange always, i see charging battery meter in windows but battery didnt go more then 50%, and everytime i boot on i receive Backup battery Very Low notification no matter how much i was charging my battery.
So i'm afraid maybe it's internal backup battery failure, or my main battery didn't get chargement then it says that charging. Maybe someone of You guys have any usefull advices, what can be the problem? Also if it possible maybe somebody can give me alink or image to see there this backup battery soldered on scheme.
Thanks ppl!!!

It sounds like the main battery is bad.
Is the battery you picked up new, or new as of 6 months ago? If it's new-new, it is still possible that it is bad.
Also, the charging circuit may have died. Most electronics will work and work, and when they do die, it's usually when power is applied to them (turned on, charged, etc).
The fact that it does charge up to 50% makes me think the main battery is bad. Do you still have the original battery? Try it and see what that does.

The internal battery is used only when the main battery is discharged or missing.
As for a link, hit the wiki.

Thanks for reply, new battery i bought maybe 4-6 months ago i used it maybe 1 week, after that i turned off my device and left it for 4-6 months, so nothing should be happened to battery. I'll check device with old one, but it seems that device didn't work with original old one battery too.
Any other solutions, advices?
Thank You very much guys for help!!!!

Hey guys,
I’ve got a problem with my xperia play - it won’t boot anymore.
I bought a cheap battery from china and after replacing the original one with the fake one the phone wouldn’t boot anymore.
I’ve tried to charge my phone (with the original battery) overnight but it didn’t help.
While charging the red light keeps blinking in a 4 seconds interval but apart from that nothing happens.
I’ve also tried to start the phone without the battery with the usb cable plugged in,but it didn’t help.
Furthermore charging it via a usb cable over the computer didn’t help and the red light just kept blinking in the 4 seconds interval.
And of course I can’t boot in recovery mode/fastboot mode,and the phone doesn't vibrate at the start of the boot progress ,either. I’ve also already tried the ‘’freezer trick’’ (to put the battery in the freezer for a few hours)but as you’ve probably guessed that ‘’trick’’ didn’t help me at all.
I appreciate any help.
Thanks in advance.
over 77 views and still no answer.
can anybody help me please.
i would even donate some money if it would help my phone to boot.
thank you in advance.

Clicked thanks instead of quote ignore that, it sounds like a battery issue and probably has nothing to do with the fake battery, if you do a search around the internet it goes on about the battery being dead, why not try plugging the phone into the wall outlet letting it charge a bit, removing the plug after a while and keep doing it, might kick start the battery to charge again.
Another thing you could do is take it to a local sony centre and try out an official battery, if it still doesnt work send the phone to sony, it might be a hardware issue, and if you've bought it in the past year you are still in warranty, don't worry if you've done any mods to it, they check the hardware, usually erase the software and revert to stock
Ok,thanks for your help.
I'll try charging the phone overnight from the wall outlet and I gonna reply tomorrow.
Regards
hi,
unfortunately it still doesn't work.any other suggestions?
Try my last suggestion
i.e. Sony original battery or send it for repair
Hello guys,
Wondering if you know what this issue could be. Basically, I had not used my xperia play for a few years and I wanted to try a few emulators on it now, so I tried to start it up and it worked twice, I could see the Sony logo and then it went onto a white screen (this is why I changed it on the 1st place and I think it'll need a Flex cable).
The problem is that after those 2 times, the mobile was vibrating when I tried to turn it on but nothing on the screen at all (not even the previous Sony logo I saw). I managed to plug the charger, get a static red light, which then turned orange and after like 10h that I checked again it was green.
I trid to start it up again, but still nothing. What's happening now is that as soon as I disconnected the charger when it was with the green light, when I connect the charger again it has a blinking red light that doesn't disappear (I've left it charging for hours but same light still there).
I tried to connect it to the computer, but I get a message of USB device not recognized, tried to udpate drivers for Xperia Play or someone mentioned some Zeus drivers, but still the computer cannot see it.
I was wondering if it'd be worth buying a new battery as well to see if this fixes the problem? What do you think? As mentioned, before the problem, I just saw it booting up correctly a couple of times and I didn't do anything afterwards...
Cheers
I could be wrong, but if the phone wasn't used for a few years, I would suspect your battery is part of the problem. I remember that I had an orange light and the phone wouldn't boot for me either when my battery was bad. I bought Hyperion batteries and the phone has worked great since.
As far as the phone not being recognized... I'm not sure. I would probably try uninstalling all Sony related drivers, then reboot the computer and reinstall them. Maybe see if you can get Flashtool to recognize the phone in Flashmode or FastBoot as well.
Do you think the computer should recognized the phone (xperia play in this case) even with a battery problem? for example, if the phone is switched off and the battery removed? (or does it need to be turned on?)
The phone definitely needs to be turned on to be recognized... either booted up normally or on fastboot mode, Flashmode, etc.... I can't remember if it will work in Flashmode or fastboot without the battery inserted... but I'm thinking it won't. I'm at work, but if I get some time to try it out tonight, I will report back.
If you could have a quick look at some point (no rush), out of curiosity, to see what happens if you try to connect it to the PC without the battery? I was thinking that it might be recognizable (as there's power coming in from the USB cable), however in my case I keep on getting the red blinking light when I plug it to the PC without the battery as well and I get the message saying that the device has not been recognized.
I've ordered a new battery anyway to see how it goes. I will learn something from the experience whether it finally ends up working or not...
Cheers!

Ok. I did some testing and you definitely need to have the battery inserted for fastboot mode or Flashmode to work. There is no response from the phone or the computer when only plugged in with the usb cable (and no battery) while holding back button or search button.
If your battery is bad (like we suspect after not using the phone for a few years)....then hopefully you'll be able to get into Flashmode/FastBoot again once you get your new battery.
As far as the screen turning white... it sounds like you're probably correct with thinking something could be wrong with your slider /flex cable.... but that's hard to know for sure. When my friend's flex cable was bad, it started out with lines through the screen and eventually had a strange textured grey/white appearance when the cable finally went completely out.
Just quick update for future reference in case someone faces a similar problem.
The red blinking light when trying to charge the mobile with an old battery was caused by the battery being faulty after a long period without use. I ordered a new one and as soon as I plugged it in to the charger, the light became orange (rather than red) and a little while later green.
Even with the battery charged, I had the problem that I couldn't see anything at all on the screen. The mobile vibrated when being switched on but then just a black screen. It turned out to be the 'flex cable'. It was totally knackered. Replaced with a new one and all working as well now.
Cheers!!

Cool man. Glad to hear you fixed your phone. :thumbup:
So I recently purchased a Z5P unlocked, with a contract in vodafone, regardless of that ive been having many problems with the Z5P. I love the phone and all its features. On to my problems and if anyone has an idea how to fix it please tell me!
1: my first problem is the water thing, if i take it in water its all fine, until water touches the jack, say if im in the rain, listening to music(which i have done to experience this problem) it will keep going into headphone mode, this isnt a huge problem, but if theres some work around to this id greatly appreciate it.
2: This is my biggest problem, the charging port just doesnt work properly! i connect it, it charges just fine, 100% in an hour or so, then it drains throughout the day i get home from college, from about 8-5/6 its down to about 50/45% i plug it in and no charge, or even worse half way through the day it'll pop up saying charger not charging battery, with nothing connected into the charger! its just died on me and will not charge at all, until i plugged it into my computer via fastboot and the lil blue light pops up and is now charging. Slowly, but is charging. any ideas as to why it isnt charging through wall charger? all official cables, and around 3 it was charging, in college fine. i get home and it doesnt charge.
other lil problems include the brightness thing, which i guess will be fixed in marshmallow? it keeps going into adaptive brightness even though i turn it off?
another problem is when i turn it off (Press the power button>Power off) it doesnt turn off, it forever restarts, red light, sony screen, black screen-repeat.
also another problem is the lag?! not in general, its all smooth but in snapchat the device starts lagging and then heats up? might be snapchat, i dunno. but the charging ones the big one!:crying::crying:
EDIT: i have done a full reset of my phone before it fully died on me, and this is the first time its ever fully died.
I don't know what country you're in but I'd return it for a new one. To many problems you got there...
Sent from my SGP311 using XDA Free mobile app
Can any body please help me Nd let me know how i can search messages in massaging app? using search option it only searching inside message content but i want to search by contact
I have the same problem as you, when i plug in the phone to the charge, nothing happend but, when i connected to my PC the phone appears to work fine until i restart it, after that, my pc wont reconice the phone either and i cant charge it until the battery is completely dead and of course, when i turn it off, the phone do the same as yours, white scren whit the sony logo after the red light and do the same thing over and over again, i tried hard reset twice but wont work, dont know what to do either............. did you connect your phone on a PC with windows XP in college???, because my problem start when i connecte to an old PC with Windows XP...
So my zenfone 2 is rooted and today it ran out of battery. I put it on charger, there is no LED indicator lighting but ok, i thought it´s charging, so in few minutes i tried to power my device on, but i got only that low battery screen and it turn off after few seconds. I can get to this low battery screen even without charger, but it´s same. When i press power button in this low battery screen i get that bolt there, like it´s charging for a second but then it turn off. I also can´t get to recovery mode, even when i try it on that screen, it shows white battery with question mark. When i try it from turned off mobile, nothing happens. Please help me. Sorry for my bad english. Im sure that charger is OK because it works with other stuff and when i plug the mobile into pc, it´s just same, nothing. I have TWRP recovery btw.
Seems that you are having my same problem (http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/help/phone-wont-charge-tries-to-t3426130), but you can see the charging screen. Does your phone get hot while charging? Mine doesn't (so it is not charging) I bought the usb chargning module, hoping that it will arrive soon if that is the problem.
Regards.

Yeah... I'm waiting for the charging port to arrive. Please post the results of the warranty, maybe we have the same problem.
Good Luck
