X10 mini usb charging problem

---

Today I wanted to charge my phone via USB. But now it is discharging. Why ? I'm using another microUSB cable, not original one. Phone says charging(USB) but i've lost 40% so far.

Mine does this too - I've found turning it off, letting it charge for a bit in the off state, then turning it back on again gets it to charge properly again

I have read many threads around the web, and there seems to be many errors concerning charging errors with the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini Pro.

In my case it was the usb micro cable it self.

Day 1
I received the mob.
Charged it to full, using usb cable and AC/DC/USB-adapter, while i was turned on.

Day 2
Checked out the mob until there was only 15% left on the battery indicator.
Trying to charge just like day1...faliure...nothing happens :(
Trying to charge via PC...faliure...nothing happens :(
Trying to charge just like day1 with mob turned off...succes...it is charging :)
I let it charge to the next day.

Day 3.
Morning...i can see it has stopped charging...it must be full ?
I turn on the mob.
Nope only 46% ??? Damn.
I try charging while on, via adapter and PC...faliure :(
I leave it on the table for about 2 hours and then come back.
I plug out the cable and...hmmm...the micro connector is a bit warm...hmmm
The mob i cold all over...it might be the cable thats faulty :)
I get my HTC HD2 usb micro cable...plug it in...and plug it to adapter :)
Succes :) Its charging...also via PC.

It seems:
The standard SE micro usb cable (that we are warned, only to use) is faulty.
I have read that many, have got their mob back from service repair, and i still dosent work ? Time after time.
It must be because, the service repair center is using their own micro usb cable, and there by not discovering what the real error is....the standard cable following the mini is defekt.

I have written to SE in Denmark...im waiting for their answer...if they are wise, then they are going to check their hole stock of cables :)

Well i got an answer fro SE

Guess what the answer was ???
"We have never had errors like that in our service department!"
I know the are lying, or just ignoring errors, because my daugthers friend had the exact same problem...witch SE couldent repair (2 attempts).

Posetive thing:
SE offered to change my micro usb cable to a new 1 (faulty one i guess)

I wrote back to SE:
I do not need a new cable since i have 3 working noname micro usb cables!
And explained the hold shabang 1 more time, telling them that the repair center would not catch the error unless, they used the exact same cable as the costumer!.

Since then i havent heard from SE

Conclusion:
SE doesnt give a damn about their costumers problems

Consequence:
I dont wanna buy an SE cellphone ever again!!! (this phone was for my daughter).
From now on i stick to HTC...ive got at HTC HD2 and i just LOOOOOOVE IT

PS. The micro usb cable for my HD2 works perfect with the mini pro. No charging errors at all

hello...

Well guys i was with the same problem... the mobile was discharging when connected to USB port... so i just changed the USB port and it begun to charge!!!!!

SOmetimes the USB port has no power to charge so u may change it...

for me it worked well.

good luck

I have this problems, since few days ago.

And after a search in many web pages, the solutions didn´t appear, I don´t know, if this a issue whit the usb cable or the usb slot in the phone, I really try differents things, turn on while push the camera button, or the - vol button, sometimes work, but is really a pain in the a...

if someboby already find a solution lets us know.

thank you for your helpful message t.siddharth

i had the same problem with my phone, initially i replaced the cable then i sent the phone for repair twice as the first time it was not fixed.
6 months later the charging fault reoccurs, so i took phone apart myself and found that the mini usb socket had come away from the pcb.
