Help Turns on but doesnt stay on!

[mzyokii]

After charging the xperia x10 for hours, it would turn on and "POWER OFF" box will appear and turns my phone off completely. It would also state that my phone only has 2% battery life left. Would anyone know whats going on? Or any good tips?

Are you using the stock charger that came with the phone because they are very sensitive to the type of charger. I used my sons LG plug in error (they are are all black and look the same!) but it wouldn't charge it.

The other problem that I have heard reported is a faulty connector in the phone usb socket. Does the phone work with the USB on the computer? This is not an efficient way to charge it btw, but it will indicate whether the connections are good or not.

If the phone doesn't respond to the computer then I would suggest that it needs to go in for a repair. You can use a seperate battery charger and this will work but when it comes to doing anything else with the phone... updates/repairs/transferring media etc you need that USB socket to be functioning.

Why aren't they just issuing you a new or refurbished phone, rather than having you wait and possibly go without a phone for weeks on end? Or at least send you a loaner (Apple does this) until yours is fixed. The bottom line here is they should be doing all that is possible so you can retain the use of your phone, which is probably your only phone since home landline phones are almost a thing of the past.

Yeah, I know, it makes sense and herein is the problem, LOL. I would be demanding on of the above at a bare minimum, if that hasn't been done already....

This is long, but i will explain..
1st handset i had gave me issues with the 360 service they put on the phone and they replaced it with the one im having issues with, it was out of the box for like 6hrs or so (a full charge either way) and started doing this, they give me a loaner a h1 blurrgh now the thing that ticks me off is they have said to me they have to try and repair it 3 times before they will then give me a reconditioned phone! i was told this after saying they should just simply replace with a new 1! WTF why should i get a reconditioned phone for what was a new one (and blatantly faulty) that all i did with was charge! i had to ring customer services about 10 times at least 3 were rude un-helpfull or lied to me i even had 1 tell me i could NOT speak to a manger lol can you believe that S**T and when i was suffering the 360 rubbish 1 told me it was SE's fault lol, the people in the shop are slightly more helpful as they have to deal with me face to face.. the thing is vodafone have lost a customer as once my contract is up im gone (O2 probably ) and once i have my phone back i will be sending both vodafone and trading standards a very long letter with the whole debacle inc customer service muppets names and what they told me, im not annoyed at se but am livid at vodafone... The rubbish that networks get away with is unbelievable, i read on here somewhere that some poor bastard is stuck in a 36 month contract!!! in my mind contract should be a 12month thing TOPS, there should be NO exclusivity of handsets, it should be any handset any network and my biggest gripe NO BRANDING i hate that the networks feel that they know better than the manufacturers by dumping crap bloatware on my phone and slowing updates down for no good reason other than greed...

rant over lol for now...
