[Q] Screen flicker? - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After updating my X10 to generic 2.1 my screen flickers (Not on and off but light/dark) before the screen turns off (Phone locks). I would like to know why my phone does that and if there are any solutions to this problem. Thanks in advance.

same problem
hi
i bought X10 today and first thing i did is upgrade its android OS
and after up-gradation same thing started happening to my cell also...
did u find any fix or cure for this problem???
and one more thing after up-gradation main menu got slower!!!
i thought upgrade was to improve the cell !!!

What IF the screen flicker happens when I accidently bricked my phone. I still cannot find any solution. I've flashed my phone so many times now and none of them are working. Just right after I turn on my phone, the backlight is on and i can see the screen flickers. haihz

happened to me to after i used the flashtool to flash 2.1 global generic.
i kinda got over it but i'd like to know why.
the flash worked perfectly. and so did the flash of my current 2.2.1 freex10 rom .
so i have no idea whats going on.

solution for this issue. Help please.

My phone was running z's rom 2.2 for x10 when I took it out of my pocket and the screen was black. The blue lights turned on but not the screen. When I turned off the phone, it wouldn't turn back on.
The computer won't recognize it for flash tool or se fix software or battery won't charge if I hook it up to the charger. what do I do? I have never had this issue before. help would be awesome.
thanks. is it bricked?
Solution sort of: I took my phone in to ATT service center and they said my phone and battery weren't working. So I got a new phone for free. (THANK GOD) Xperia x10 refurbished. So I got to mod it all over again. lol. They couldn't tell me what I did wrong or anything. So I guess I have a solution. So whoever has an issue like me, lets just hope your phone isn't dead like mine The other sad thing was they didn't have a battery for me so they are sending me one through the mail. by tomorrow. one day shipping yess!!!! Thanks for all those who put in helpful ideas. Doing some serious phone pimping pretty soon once I get my battery.
Can you boot into xRecovery?
I have a similar issue here.
I am using the CM6.1.3 custom ROM on my phone (Android 2.2). It ran out of battery(for its first time) this afternoon so I charged it and tried to turn it back on but it wouldn't. It just starts up until the Sony Ericsson logo and just fades out and a white light will turn on at the notification lamp for a while and then reboot again. I tried the Sony Ericsson update service to reinstall the software but I changed the firmware and baseband so it doesn't work and it doesn't seem to be able to boot into xRecovery either. What can I do? Help/advice appreciated!
Problem might be with the faulty offline charging.so your battery's flat.I believe there is a fix for the problem, you might need to borrow a battery, install the fix(check the Rom main page) then you should be good to go :
You could also flash a clean rom using the flashtool version 1.3 I think

can you teach me how to flash a clean rom using the flashtool? i already have the flashtool but i dont really know how to use it
thanks
Look in the development section as there are detailed descriptions on this already, but I can say not to worry as it's impossible to brick this phone, it can always be returned to stock. It's the only good thing about not having a cracked bootloader, we cannot be bricked

(Problem) xperia x10 ramdom reboots

My xperia is rebooting itself several times in the day. I updated to gingerbread to see if the 2.3 fixes this problem but it still there.
Could it be the battery?
Any help would be great
Maybe you can tell us more about your issue. when did it begin ? Does your phone reboot after a specific event ? How did you proceed to the 2.3 update ?
Are you on stock or custom ROM?
Try wipe dalvik and fix permission.
When you update to 2.3.3, did you restore any data from previous ROM?

Hi,
Not sure if this is the same problem but my x10i got quite hot recently and after kept randomly shutting down (mainly when under load but sometimes just sat overnight) I read on a Sony Ericsson thread that quite a lot of people have had the issue and in my situation could be a motherboard problem. (Heres the thread link) ... be warned though it's a long thread!
Took mine back to o2 for warranty repair as by this time it had become unusable ... just opening the browser shut the phone down!. 4 days later I got a refurbished sgs2 as a replacement (which was nice!) and a letter saying they couldn't repair the phone in the alloted time.

problem with touch screen

I have a big problem!! I flashed the new minicm7 rom and it was running perfectly till now, that my touch screen went crazy!! it scroll down all the time, no matter where I pressed, it presses by it self at the bottom of the screen... sometimes it works a little bit, and then my problem comes back again... I tried to reflash the rom, wipin and factory reset, but I got the same problem even in the lock screen...
Could it be hardware problem? My phone didn't suffer a fall or something like that... it's very annoying!!
has anyone experienced that?? what should I do? should I try to reppair with SEUS? in that case how?? and if the problem persists what should I do to leave it exactly in the stock way in case I had to send it to reppair?? because I still have warranty... please help me!! I'm desperated!!!
thanks if you please help me!!
i'm sure there must be someone who can help me! please
I only get this problem if my phone is on charge. But other than that its ok.

I've experienced this but on the Cyanocream Sandwich. It fixed itself upon reboot. never had the problem since. might not work in your case, but give it a shot
thx you 2 for your advices but nothing seems to work. i flashed minicm2.1.4 after 2.1.5 and the problem persists... when I was desperated I tried update with pc companion and it seemed to work but the problem came back. what its amazing is that its not happening continously but randomly and if it happens I block and unblock the screen and it works for a while...
when the problem appears what i experienced its exactly like this: if i watch web pages and i scroll down my screen goes to the top inmediately and i cannot keep on scrolling down,or if im writing if i press a letter one different below is pressed instead...or watching my apps if i go left it goes down crazy as if it wanted to go beyond the bottom of the screen...
if anyone else could help i would appreciate it,if not i'll have to send it to repair for free because its still on guarantee... in that case how should i do to leave my phone in the exactly stock way for the technicals not to see its rooted or unlocked bootloader...
thank you in advance!
As you said you have to use SEUS to return to stock FW. Just turn off your phone and then follow the steps on the computer. When it comes to relocking the bootloader, I cant help you as I have not tried to relock mine yet.
Good luck

Reboot issue xperia x10

Hi
I have a problem with my x10, and I've seen that other people have similiar problem but i have still no answer to my question.
The problem is simply that my phone reboots itself when overheating/or connecting to 3g internet.
This is when i first saw the problem:
The phone was recently updated to newest firmware 2.3
( the phone started to reboot itself a couple of days later but i didnt think it was related to the firmware)
At that moment the phone was as new ( no root, no bootloader unlock etc)
Then i thought to fix the problem by ( rooting, unlock bootloader, flash new firmware)
Guess what? Phone still rebooting.
Then i was getting pissed, so i " degraded" the phone and flashed 2.1 firmware.
GUESS WHAT? The problem was solved
My question is now, why the fudge is my phone Rebooting itself in 2.3 firmware and not in 2.1 firmware!?!?
Edit : just used the phone with the 2.1 firmware a couple of days, now its rebooting when using 3g... So frustrating to have a smartphone and not be able to browse the web :S
I have the same problem
Mine is a Sony Ericsson Xperia X10a (Rogers)
Looking for a CyanogenMod for ths model just to test...
Any tips?
It wont help with Cm, i have tried....

Try it and report back. If it still like that try different stock kernel and if still rebooting your phone needs new parts.

maybe a battery problem?
I too had the same issue, the phone overheats when using 3g or wifi, downloading, etc, and then it turns off or reboots...
so I got a new battery from ebay, charged it and cleared battery stats and then till now no reboots
The solution i got to ...
My phone is unrooted and loaded with CM7.
it keeps on rebooting when restarted with a sim inside.
the solution i use :
stick the battery in the freezer for a minute.
take it out power on the phone and that's it.
the phone starts perfectly.
odd, but that works 100% of the time for me.
hope it helps.
alright guys, actually i didnt tell u all my attempted solutions. I also got a NEW battery to the phone. didnt work for me im sorry... Now it also reboots when using the CAM recording.
I had that problem back in 2011. My phone used to reboot itself once every two days at first, but the problem got worse after a month and I couldn't use my X10 for more than 15 minutes without it overheating and rebooting. The battery temperature used to be around 40°C before rebooting.
I got it replaced after the third time i sent it to repair. I remember I read that was a motherboard issue or probably letting the phone fall would cause that too.
If you still have warranty try to get it replaced. Wish you luck.

Bumping..
I have found a OEM Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Navigator Flex Cable Ribbon - Replacement Part.
Can that replacement help me to avoid overheating the phone ?
Overheat CPU causes it, you can try heatsink compound (used to apply on computer CPU) to apply on top of Qualcomm CPU to see if it solves

[Q] Touch Screen problem

Hello to all. Have xperia x10i and one anoying problem. I am on custor rom Champs xperia s V9 and i love it. Problem started few months a go and since then i changed probably 6-7 roms and problem still persist. REcently unlocked bootloader and flashed few kernels but still same problem. So finaly i gues it is hardware problem or??
Problem is that after few days of using any rom touch screen will just frezze, usualy in the morning after not using a phone for a night. It will frezze, stop responding (it would kind a jam) it is not posible to unlock screen or scrol. Not sure how exactly to explain it. Usualy have to restart it twice to fix a problem.
Any hellp guys?? (Bit sick of it already)
