Xperia Ion never holds charge

Hello Friends,

I have a year Xperia Ion phone. Recently I have got a problem with the battery of this phone.

A week back the battery status was never going below 100% but will shut off after certain amount of usage. I did not bother as I was able to use the phone normally but only the battery status was a problem. However the problem got more serious. Here is what happened and what I tried:

- A day back phone got switched off and the battery was never going above 1% upon restart, even when it was on charging

- I tried hard restart (holding volume up button + power button). After this it was showing increase in percentage when plugged in for charge and reached 100%. I thought the problem is resolved but not.

- Everytime I unplug phone from charging, battery drops down to 1% immediately and shuts off

- I did service test (by dialing some long numbers) of the phone and it says battery is good and no need to replace it. I assumed there is not hardware issue.

- I had no otherway but to try out battery calibration after rooting- I rooted my device, used 'Battery calibration' app. Charged up till it says 100% and did the calibration. It showed calibration success. I unplugged it from the charger again just to find that the same issue again.

I really do not know what to try now. My phone is just out of warranty (I bought this in another country during a visit). I am ready take paid service if that would solve, but I really appreciate a promising solution or suggestion for this issue.

This phone means a lot for some reason. Thanks in advance for your helpful thoughts!

Additional information -

Looks like my problem is something similar to what they talked about here:

If so, is this the only way for me? Is it possible to replace the battery for Xperia Ion?

Well,the battery could be dead in your phone.The replacing part is kind of difficut if you have not done one before.It is better to visit a service(anyway not sony,but if you do not have warranty,you could go to sony).
