Sudden battery drop

Mon, 23 Jan 2012 17:11:00 GMT

Hi everyone,

I'm starting to have a quite serious problem with my recently bought Xperia Ray : as soon as the battery level reaches around 15%, it suddenly drops to 0% and after a few seconds, the phone shuts down and it is impossible to restart it (unless I recharge the battery of course).

My phone is already updated with the latest software, and I also tried a battery calibration, but it didn't seem to have any effect on this problem.

What is worrying me is that it seems to happen at higher and higher percentage, at first it happened around 11-12%, then 15%, and now around 17-18%...

Any ideas ?

Thanks in advance !

Try using the SE update service to re-run or repair the software and see if that improves the situation.

Thanks for your answer.

I forgot : does the repair function make me loss any kind of data ?

Yes, you will need to back up your phone as usual.

Ok, thanks.

Do you have any "non-destructive" ideas to try before that ?

You could try to charge the phone while turned off for about 5 hours, start it and check if the same problem appears.

Otherwise you could try another battery.

1. Open PC Companion

2. Start 'Support Zone'

3. Select Software Updates

Hi again everyone,

It seems that the 5-hour charge (suggested by Johan-SEAnswers) did the job !

Thanks again for all your suggestions, I'll see if this solution works on the long term...

No worries pal! I got the cure for this. I had the same problem by which I was totally freaked out, until I installed and used this:

Though the "boost" part is all nonsense, but the repair part actually works and solves the problem. The good thing is that it takes only 3 hours, with your phone ON!

This is how the program looks like:

Enjoy
