If you charged for 2 hours,force shutdown(power button+vol up until the phone vibrates 3 times).

Hi there,been reading about these problems that seem to happen when the battery dies on xperia phones!! Well the problem is not with the phone!! It isn't actually a problem it's s safety device built into the battery to stop something called "polatity reversal and related dammage" it's designed to stop the battery under or over charging! all you need to do is spend £2.65 on a universal battery charger from ebay!and whack the battery in that ! it will soon come back to life 🐵 It's a lesson to you not to let your battery go flat that's why every android device has a low battery alarm!!! don't ignore it and buy a second battery to go with the charger cost of both is less tan £10 ! Phew hows that for my first go ;O0

Hey guys, I've had this sont xperia z1 for about 5 months now, and recently it's stopped charging, I'll plug it in to the wall and it won't receive the charge, I've managed to charge it by plugging it into my pc but it takes ages to charge, I've already tried the power button and volume up solution and it doesn't work, any ideas?
