I have noticed that now i have updated to 2.1, my phone no longer locks the screen when the power button is short pressed.
is there a way around this as i find it very inconvenient to have to wait for the phone to time out each time i want to put the phone in my pocket.
cheers,
Alan
i had similar problem i dont know why it happened .. but i connected to SEUS , initally i flashed using Global firmware from Binary ..
anyway i connected to SEUS and tried to repair , i mean reinstall the firmware thru SEUS ... dont worry even if ur region is not out .. i mean once u are 2.1 SEUS pulls 2.1 files and installs them irrespective of the region ...
so do a update using SEUS..
i had many problems with Binary GLOBAL firmware, problem might be isolated for me .. but give it a try..
figured out what had caused it...
when i restored my backed up system settings from both SE backup and restore or my backup pro, the power button did not lock the phone.
i just went into settings and did a factory reset and setup everything up manually. now everything works fine.

Hi！I‘m a Chinese user of X10.I've got a serious problem of my X10.
weeks ago,i updated my phone to 2.1(Update Service).
i don't know why my X10 started to give no response occasionally.
Any button would not be useful ,i need to pick off my battery and operated system again
(sometimes Android would say my SD Card is broken but after i reboot again that would be OK)!
so anyone who has the same problem?
should i dowdate to 1.6 ?
or should i try to install 2.1 ROM again?
Thanks!
Just Reflash.
Yeah... Just reflash using SEUS. Don't use PCCompanion to update it.
but how to reflash
should i change my CDA again and use SEUS?
Thx
No need to change, just dowload seus & go for reinstall. If these doesn't work than grab a global generic firmware & flash your phone using flash 2.1 X10i.
I am facing a very annoying problem: my x10 mini(unrooted) automatically gets restarts.
Some of the days it works fine. But once it gets restarts then it restarts atleast 3-4 times a day. I have tried to reinstall the android firmware but still the problem prevails. I keep the phone memory at 21-22MB level, is the problem because of this( But I want to tell you 1 thing that I bought the phone in november and in feb end my phone was not switching on ,then I went to SE service centre they reinstalled the firmware and the problem was solved. Since then I am facing the problem of rebooting, before that it worked fine. I used to keep the phone memory around 2mb in the initial days of purchasing and it worked fine even in 2mb so I guess low phone memory is not a problem. I rooted my phone in november but when service centre employee reinstalled the firmware then I lost rooting.i.e. Now my phone is unrooted). Can the problem be because of SIM card or SD Card(corrupt files which I am aware of) or it is because of some other reason?
I dont want to go to the service centre because I feel that they will just reinstall the firmware which I already have done. It would be great if you could tell me any solution. If not the solution then a user friendly and so technical language using app which show the log of my phone so that I can figure out what happens in the system. But I really want a solution. Please guys help! Hope you guys would bring all your experience into play and help me.

Well ..people will need some more specific info ..like are you on the latest SE update ? what programs did u install (seems u did install quite a few as ur phone memory is ~22 MB ). Anything you noticed when it reboots ? Like while doing some operation or running something in particular when this reboot happens ?
Why dont you do a fresh flashing of the latest update through SEUS (not PC companion) and then just stick to the stock ROM (without installing anything else) for 7-10 days and see how it behaves ?
You can always take a backup of ur essentials like SMS and contacts (if you are not syncing ur contacts with google ) before you flash using SEUS.
There are ways to check the logs (using logcat ) but not sure how much effective it might be as u might not be in a position to check logs everytime when your phone reboots.
Hope this helps. Really there was very less inputs available for giving any solution.
I am having the latest android firmware. I updated the android firmware by downloading a firmware file avaible on the sony's website, I don't know what it is called but I surely didn't used pc companion for updating. There is no specific app which I am using when it restarts.
I will give any necessary info which will help you to suggest a solution.

you cannot just download a firmware from SE site ..it can be done only by two ways one via PC companion and the other by SE Update service. (SEUS)
And yes , it would be better to reflash through SEUS . It does seem that you have installed lots of things ..better forget them now and just use the stock ROM from SE.
hi all.
i have a problem on my xperia mini pro.
i dont know whats wrong.
when i lock my phone, and i want to turn it on back, it is turn off and suddenly the S.E logo appears.
seems like rebooting back.
sometimes when i make the screen timeout for 30minutes, it will also turn off by itself and restart back by itself. sometimes it goes off and no reboot back.
i have search on XDA and found that few problems like mine.
i try few solution like take out the battery, uninstall apps which maybe make my phone turn off.
i also reflash my phone to 2.3.3 and also reflash back to 2.3.4. it just goes the same. my warranty have void as i have unlock my bootloader.
i just dont root my phone yet as i think rooting my phone doesnt help this problem.
someone can help me? i really miss my phone like the old days to tweeting and facebooking without any turn off and reboot by its own.

i've done the factory reset before. seems like it does not really help much.
not trying to root yet coz i dont think rooting can solve the problem
Does it make any difference if you start the phone with the charger plugged into it?
...or even without the SIM card or SD card? Any difference at all?

I bought the phone over from bobo. And yes it does make a difference.
This problem does not occur whenever the phone is plugged in. However while running on battery, if I leave it be and once it goes into standby, it would not turn on again.
Seems to me it went into sleep of death.
At the moment, I have no idea how to fix it. But I've found a workaround by keeping the CPU on when the display is off by using wake_lock. However this workaround is a little battery consuming.

bro i have this problem before, what im doing before was playing music on mute for it not to turn off NOT until 0.62 FW came out and the problem was solved, it doesnt turn off on stock 0.62 fw and stock 2.3.4 but the screen when locked automatically turns on and off multiple times, its annoying..really so i decided to unlock my bootloader, flashed rooted 0.62 FW from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1440161, turning on and off phone and screen solved, flashed its respective ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1373435, and now my phone is so stable and having no more problem.
i think the only problem i noticed just now is the back button (its not really a button) and the option button's light is turning off and on while screen is on. but thats better than your phone turns on and off or your screen.
i hope this helps.

I've done this too. Flashed the same kernel, and the same ROM as you did. But the problem still prevails in my phone. I still have to keep control of wake_lock to prevent CPU from sleeping while the display is off.
Btw, when I flashed the kernel, under my "About" in the settings, it still says .58 instead of .62.

you mean in the Settings>About Phone> in the build number it should have HYBROM V9 by boof not the kernel name like .58 or .62 if you flashed the kernel and rom correctly.
disable lockscreen
Try to disable your lockscreen in the settings menu. Maybe that helps
My phone have the very same problem.
Any good new?
I've tried the factory restore. Didn't solve the problem.
so....no solutions yet!!??!

Hello,
I have a weird problem, I sold my X10 mini pro, but the customer has a weird force close of the phone app...
the rom version is 2.1.1.A.0.6 as it is the latest available with an italian KIT number.
Anyone knows how to solve this?
He already tried to reflash via Pc Companion, and hard reset via settings...
he is allready done hard reset and memory reset and what the phone doing now?
he says that sometimes the phone hangs, and it shows the phone FC, the only way to reboot is to take the battery out. But the rom is the original one
if the phone is stock... 3 things
1. the phone has problem in it electronic cirquits not firmware
2. he maybe try to unlock it or root it or other kernel /rom
3. dont put the battery out just press the menu button and on/off button together to reboot it
tell him to make a reset and let the phone as stock without programms to see... if the phone has stock apps with the latest stock firmware maybe is the (1.) if the phone is stable in stock mode tell him that is some programm make that hang... because i see that on my phone where i had it stock... install apps only from android market and see if it stable.... then continue easily and stable ... not 5 to 5 programms every time....

I don't think he rooted or installed anything, and the phone was working fine when I had it. It's so weird...
if the phone work fine when u had it and is stock and it did not fall down and brake any electronic parts tell him to reset it all everythings programms and start from begginng maybe is a programm... or else he is unlucky guy recycle or fix it to Sony Ericsson... after all i believe that is a programm problem and i say again ... if the truth is that the phone is stock...
IMHO full memory (on-board).
Remove some apps...

Hey guys,
since 2-3 weeks i'm using the 6.0.1 official version which i got via OTA update (everything original on my phone, no root, no flashing any software) for my international S6 Edge.
First i noted havy battery drain and uninstalled a few apps. A weather widge forced the heacy battery drain and my phone worked fine.
Since 4 Days i have problems with random reboots. It started with some reboots a day and now it keeps rebooting after i unlocked sim card and want to use my phone. I managed to put my phone in flight mode and i were able to make a backup of my userdata via samsung smartswitch. I initialized the phone via the software and it flashed the newest version. After it finished it booted up and in the language selection screen it keeps rebooting.
I read about corrupted files due update from version 5.x to 6.0.1 and thought to wipe the phone and flash newest software via smartswitch would fix the problem but my phone is not usable anymore.
Maybe you have any advice for me?
Thanks for your further help!

Hi borth87
As it won't get worst, I suggest to flash a clean Stock version.
From SamMobile find the latest firmware for your device model.
After, for the download, I suggest you to use:
[TOOL] SamFirm - Samsung firmware downloader & checker
Just provide Model+Region and it will find you the newer firmware available. Please, before download, check the boxes: CRC32 & Decrypt
Flash the above using the lastest Odin v3.11.1
- Open Odin
- Reboot Phone in Download Mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons)
- Connect phone and wait until you get a blue sign in Odin
- Add the firmware file downloaed to AP / PDA
- Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked
- Click the start button, sit back and wait few minutes
Let us know your path.
Nice regards.

Hi B
No. Just flashing Sammobile firmwares via ODIN will NOT trip knox.
Have fun.

I got back my phone from repair. They switched Mainboard and some minor parts.
Everything is working fine now. As it was warranty i dont have to pay for the change.

Hi.
I has the same problem. I tried to flash all of firmwares (always STOCK), but it's failed with ODIN all times. Samsung Smart Switch PC software say system repair succesfull (with emergency update repair), but the problem keep joke with me.
Phone don't repond without charger. With PC connection, i don't allow to run restore mode, only ODIN mode. With Wall charger adapter, i allow to run restore mode, odin mode, safe system mode, normal system, but i wiped cache, i do factory reset, i rebooted in bootloader and rebooted system as normal. When i run system in normal mode, language selection show up, and when i press next, phone reboot. When i run system in safe mode, i can select my language, and i can connect to my WiFi, but after i press NEXT at wifi list, phone reboot.
So in safe mode i able to do more one step, but system keep rebooting. Charging screen show battery at 89-90% all times, system start updating battery status from 1% to 100% (1 percent/ 1.5 sec).
Some times red-green-blue-purple rows show at Samsung logo and i got bootloop. Like when i put off my battery from my old phone.
