Xperia T 0% battery switches on and off {Resolved}

XDA00000 · May 22, 2014

Hello!

My phone Sony Xperia T 4.3 running working fine until today my battery was at 1% and I forgot to charge it.

So when I came back to my phone it had restarted time and time again, so I plugged in charger and it still does the same.

My power button does not work on this phone.

What's happening is phone switches off and red light remains while charging but battery does not seem to charge, then after about 5-10 mins the phone restarts itself and shuts down because the battery is too low....

What can I do apart from getting a new battery?

Thanks

If it were my phone, I'd take the phone apart and keep the power button pressed with something, or charge the battery with an external universal charger, probably something like this.

Hi.
My power button does not work.
The battery is fixed inside the phone so how to charge externally?
Thanks

Can you enter recovery?
If yes, try to do so and let it charge. Or, select the reboot bootloader option, if it exists. ^^

You're right, I keep forgetting there are phones with non-removable batteries

.

What I meant was that I'd try to press the internal function of the power button, not the plastic button on the outside. What that is is just a piece of plastic that presses the real power button on the mainboard inside, which can usually be pressed with a pin, or a pen.

Well luckily I got a friend who has a Xperia T and I asked whether I could borrow his phone for like 2 hrs..He said yes!

I just opened the back cover of both phones, connected the battery lead from my phone to my friends phone / charged my battery for 2 hours and voila!:victory:

Never gonna let this happen again, close one!:fingers-crossed:

My power button does not work even if you press inside on the mainboard.

Well, as long as you can disconnect your battery terminals from your phone, and connect their negative and positive poles properly to the charger, it will charge almost any battery. I have a similar one (not that exact same one) with which I've charged all types of batteries; depending on the mAh, it will take different amounts of time, depending also on the battery capacity. All you have to do is move the charger pins to fit the type of battery you're trying to charge.

All I did was connect the battery cable lead to the other phone. Not the whole battery it self.

I don't see why not, as long as the leads are connected correctly to the positive and negative poles.

I had that problem yesterday, I solved just opening the back cover and unplugging the internal battery for 2 minutes: when replugged, it started charging normally.
