okh dimitrissd here is the way

Since your mobile is rooted then download this

Move it to system/ Bin, copy and replace the older one

And yeah remember to change the permissions as

Hmm, this is a problem that even i am facing

Is your mobile rooted ?

Try connecting it to different wall socket , chrage with different PC usb CABLES

See if you find the same problem

The problem is because we both have a rooted mobile. Winking_Face

If you will reinstall your phone's software this problem will vanish. But as soon as you root your mobile, you will start facing this problem

No need to test it with different cables as i tested it with 4-5 cables and problem remained

so is there any way to fix this problem..?

in other words if my phone turned off because of 0% battery,i cant switch it on...?

Most likely yess... it's quite risky

And there is no way on a rooted mobile...

I will try to find a cause though

I had the same problem and after researching I found similar problem faced by an Xperia Mini user.  He got his mobile repaired by replacing the "charger" file under system/bin/ and so did I replace the file "charger" from Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini and lol it worked!!  Amazingly it helped coz I was going to repair through PCC.  Still waiting for file named "charger" from Xperia Arc coz I don't want to use this Xperia Mini file and informed Nabeel who shall help me for sure Slightly_smiling_Face  Thanks Nabeel! You doing Great Job!!

Also to let you know.  Setting permissions for file named "charger" was not required !
