Sony z1 xperia compact chargjngg issue


Customer arrived complaining that the power button did not work.
I removed battery and connected to back on and power button worked again.
However now mobile will not charge properly.
It will allow 0.07 amps through but won't charge at that.
Tried a reset and changed battery but still no joy.
Any help greatly appreciated!

I'm currently working on a Sony Z1 Compact with charging issues as well.
It won't charge the battery, but it supplies power to the phone. The phone reports that it uses more energy than it can charge up, effectively discharging the battery. A freshly charged battery will deplete to a certain level, and stay there until either power is completly removed, the phone is software repaired, or turned off for a long time.

I read somewhere on the web that a certain version of android will cause charging issues.
I tried updating the phone I'm working on, but it didn't do much good.

The customer said the phone was updated, and put in a drawer as a replacement phone - and left there 6+ months. It was completly dead when taken out for usage, and wouldn't turn on even after a long time just sitting dead charging.

I have tried several new batteries, and I'm thinking it's either a software issue - or that the power management integrated circuit (PMIC) has been damaged by the long storage period. When I got the unit up and running again, the phone did a lot of updating - so the customer did not complete the update entirely.

Another Z1 compact I had started flashing red on top. A hard reset took care of that problem.

My experience is that the Z1 Compact (or any phone for that matter) should not be left in a drawer for a long time, without maintnence. They will simply destroy the battery - but a faulty battery isn't always the entire cause.

Good luck on finding out why - and when you do, please let us know here. Unfortunately I can't give you an exact fix, as it seems there's a lot of various reason to the Z's not charging.

- and have a nice weekend as well

Btw, I forgot to mention that the phone doesn't indicate it's charging, but it seems to be charging a bit anyway. (This happened on one occation after a software repair session, and the phone was just sitting on the bench, waiting for the setup to commence)

The phone also reports a charge of 1%, or something else low, but keeps the phone running for a bit - so the battery gauge functionality isn't working correctly.
