Go to applications, clear cache and start again.
If that doesn't work, reflash gapps.

Does your X10 switch off after it has crossed the 15% battery line?

My dear friend,
You obviously have no clue about the whole system, until you get used to operating system, i would recommend that you dont start flashing just yet. let's get you up to date on the whole thing.
Android is an Operating System it helps your hardware interact with the software, Freex10 and gingerbread are like windows XP and windows 7, the latest version of android is 2.3.2 a.k.a Gingerbread, Freex10 is version 2.2.1.
Considering you dont know anything about flashing, i am assuming that you are using the stock OS supplied either 1.6 (Donut) or if you have updated the OS, 2.1 (Eclair). You can verify by going to settings-> About Phone -> Android Version.
Gapps refers to google apps like maps, voice dialer, google search, market etc.
For the time being what i want you to do is tell me which android version you are using and also how exactly this problem started.
Regards

No...it turns off when I open Maps o Wisepilot and try to get position using the GPS....few seconds after the app start running ,it switch off and switch on again...
I have android 2.1 updated.... I have an app named Juicedefender and MYLookOut...I delete memory booster app and Auto killer. The maps app star working rigth wit the GPS for a while but few minutes later the phone switch off again....
Try updating apps of it still does not work try flashing the phone by going to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746 download the flasher and the firmware from http://www.mediafire.com/?sqv6274anzfzn2x
Extract the flasher zip file, open the program X10FlashTool.exe
If the firmware is of the extension .ftf
copy the firmware to the firmwares folder found in the flasher folder
if the firmware is not in the .ftf format
Advanced -> Bundle creation -> select the folder containg the firmware -> enter details required ( Device, Branding, version) -> select all the files present in the folder list (on the left side) and transfer to the firmware content -> click ok
-> click on flash -> select the firmware -> when asked connect the phone in flasher mode and you are good to go.
If you require busybox or root or xrecovery it will be found in the advanced menu.
Now update Maps and try again,

I was making some test and the problems happen also when I opne GPSTest app. Yesterday I used the SonyEricson Companion Software to repaire the phone (I think is like "reflash the phone"). After that I install superuser, busibox and I rooted my phone. Finally activate the GPS and try to test it using GPSTest app but it works fine for a couple of minutes and after that the phone turned off by itself.... Don´t u think the problem could be the GPS Hardaware instead of software?......By the way , It seems like the problems showed up after I updated my phone fromo android 1.6 to 2.1-updated....
the link you wrote for getting flash and firmware is for xperia X10i but my phone is X10a is there any problem with that? O I need to look for X10a?

There is a possibility that it could be your hardware and since no other user is helping us out, i think its best you reflash using SEUS and DO NOT root the phone and go to a nearby service center and show it to them
Yea the firmware link i gave is for x10i, my bad i thought you had a x10i anyways it doesnt matter because i have heard of users who have installed x10i firmware on x10a anyways for the sake of safety of you mobile, in the flasher website, if you scroll down a bit you will find firmware for the x10a
Regards
E
Ok I reflash the way you told me...I selected the firmware for x10a ...everything was OK after I reflash the phone until I see that I do not have data conection anymore!!....I am in mexico and I was paying a data conection using EDge and 3G but after the reflash I can not havit both of them!!....now what_
Thank you so much...I fix the data conection problem...I need to restore my system settings backup. Now it seems to work properly incluiding the GPS....I am gonna test it the rest of the day to confirm is 100% ok....Thanks a lot
Always there to help a person in need bro. Take care and if everything is fine, i would recommed that you root the phone and try out all the features possible on the mobile, make it worth your money

Did you go back to 1.6 or 2.1? Just in case that it is a hardware problem, i would suggest that you take the phone to your local dealer and ask for a replacement device.
Better act while you still have warranty.
I will do that....after I reflash the phone , the problem comes out again...Afer a couple of minutes I activate the GPS and opened the Maps, the phone crash, I mean it switch off...
Im gonna ask warranty....regards
mine use to do it but it stoped after the third time

I have a X10a on AT&T network. I used the 2.6 flash tool made by Androxyde and Bin4ry to flash the Rogers 2.1.1.A.0.6 yesterday march 26.2011. Everything seems to be working good so far....My question is when i plug the phone in to the wall charger it will say "no sim card in phone" just above the unlock slider. anyone have any ideas why that is showing up now? The other thing that i have noticed is periodically 2 red "x" will appear in the status bar in place of the signal strength bars and in place of the 3g data symbol. oh and instead of showing the 3G on the status bar it has a "H" instead. Has anyone else seen this happen? thanks
Don't know if you should be using Rogers branded firmware on AT&T network. It probably has something to do with that. It's looking for a Rogers sim card. Try flashing generic instead.
The H is better than 3G. It's more like 3.5g. You know the new 4G network being advertised HSPA.
Ok thanks for the info. I was considering flashing the 2.1 Generic but wanted to get some advice since i am what you would call a noobie.lol I pretty much did a bunch of reading and "winged it" through the flash process praying i didn't destroy my phone.
Yes, use the x10a global generic. I don't know if the newest update is available yet, but in many people's opinion 2.1.A.0.435 is better for AT&T. The new 0.16 update baseband is causing battery drain and connection problems. With global generic you will most likely get the official 2.3.3 Gingerbread update Sony just promised in a few months first.
Edit: you seem to have it down, but there is a new version of flash tool 0.2.9 that has some new features. You can root, enable JIT, install xRecovery, and remove Sony bloatware that is slowing down your phone. That may sound Greek right now, but they are the next natural things you will want to do. Check your private messages for a detailed guide with links to the downloads. It may be of some help.
Once again JBM I really appreciate your guidance with this. I have been reading alot and think i'm going to go ahead and reflash with 2.1 global generic as you said. My Baseband version is 2.1.55 and Kernel is 2.6.29 Do these need to be flashed?
The one ftf file is all you need, 2.1.A.0.435. It will probably change your baseband to 0.54, which is the one you want for AT&T.
Really, don't over think this. This is the same firmware you would have gotten from SE if you bought your X10 from a non-AT&T store. Generic in Android terms is a good thing. It means no restrictions or extra bloatware from AT&T. No need to pay for navigation and stuff like that.
Let me know how it goes.
Again you were right my baseband changed to 2.1.54 and everything is working perfect. the red x that was appearing in the status bar in place of the H and the signal strength bars is not happening and the message "no sim card in phone" has not shown up either. I think i'm going to attempt to root and add Xrecovery do i can then speed things up with JIT. I have been on my Sony Vaio all day.

Great! To use the flash tool to root, optimise(JIT) and install xRecovery, you need to set up phone first. Hit menu button / Settings / Applications and check "unknown sources". Then hit the "development" tab below and check "usb debugging". Then just turn flash tool on, and plug your phone into usb cable while the phone is still on. Do NOT mount usb connected. Then go across the tabs on the flash tool in order from left to right, root, root permissions, optimise, xrecovery. Enjoy.
XRecovery not installed

JBM, I did exactly as you said going left to right on flash tool. i did root and root permissions then optimize, the phone did a automatic reboot after Optimize finished then I went on to XRecovery. Flashtool says that "Xrecovery successfully installed". Now on Superuser there is a app called "unkown" on the apps allow screen. I do not have the Xrecovery app anywhere on my X10 app list. So I don't know what isn't right on my X10 or in the flash tool program. So I tried again installing Xrecovery again but got the same massage on flash tool and unknown in superuser. I did not do the "clean" step or the APK Installer step. I don't know enough to mess with either of those. there wasn't any indication on the phone that JIT was working either. flash tool showed it as successful also. do you know what i should try. Thanks again

Ok, xrecovery doesn't show up as an app. What you have to do to enter xRecovery is reboot your phone, and when Sony Ericsson in white letters comes up press the power button a few times or the back button a bunch of times, and the xRecovery menu will appear. It takes a bit of getting used to. If the SE circular logo appears you missed it, and you have to reboot again.
There is a new way I will help you install that allows you to enter xRecovery from the home screen using the app gscript, but you have to do it the reboot way at first.
JIT isn't something you can see either. Well scrolling the app tray should be faster and smoother than ever. Search market and install "Quadrant" and "Linpack". They will allow you to run benchmark tests. Without JIT you should get around 500 quadrant and 8 linpack. With JIT enabled you should get 800+ quadrant and 30+ linpack.
Also, to truly optimize and increase performance like you would not believe (i.e. improve your benchmark scores, battery life, available RAM, speed, responsiveness) and get rid of any lag you should uninstall any preinstalled apps you don't use. Use titanium backup from the market to uninstall system apps without needing flash tool. However, system apps cannot be restored like user apps. You have to reinstall them. Actually, check your private messages in a few minutes. I will send you the pro version of Titanium Backup. With the pro version you can "freeze" system apps, so you don't have to uninstall them if you would rather not. Also, if you freeze an app and your phone works fine you know that it is safe to uninstall.
There are some that you shouldn't remove, but here's a list of safe ones off the top of my head. Of course, if you use them keep them. There are also a few threads about this.
Timescape(all) and Face Recognition (highly recommend uninstalling these two. You won't believe the difference)
SE Backup and Restore (use Titanium Backup I am sending you)
Chinese and Korean keyboard
PC Companion
SE Sync
Play Now
Pilot
JBM I was able to enter Xrecovery with the back button. my wifi was dropping every few minutes so I cleared my Dalvik cache and that seems to have fixed it. everything is running perfect. I uninstalled acouple apps & the 2 keyboards and now my best Quadrant score is 819 up from 741 and Linpack is 34.556. I can tell now that it is running faster and more responsive.
Cool. I am incorporating a lot of what I am helping you with into an AT&T specific guide for everything you've already done, and a whole bunch more if you are up for it. I am doing it anyway, but I figure I will see how my guides work for you as I add them to the thread. There is some stuff on there already that I haven't shared with you yet, like Voice Search. Anyway, check it out, and your pm. I just sent you a couple links.

Next thing to do is upgrade xRecovery to FreeXperiaRecovery, so you don't have to reboot to get into xrecovery. You can enter from home screen. Keep an eye out for it...
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.
Sent from my E10i using XDA App
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.
Anyone else who got the same problem that i got? I cant update any of my apps for days now in Market. I did search on google first for a solution that might able to help me. Tried this one but still not working.
Select Market (You may have to press Menu > Filter > All to see it)
Select Clear cache.
Back out of the screen and select Download Manager.
Select Clear data.

Please let me know what should I do.
hi mate.
First of all you if you need help or favor you would need to put some more information such as:
1st: Tell us whether you are on a stock rom or custom rom.
2nd: is it a rooted or unrooted phone.
3rd: If you are using custom rom then whose rom ur using.
4: Have you done some changes recently in your phone before having this issues.
5. which base band and kernel you are on ( u can check if u go settings and then About phone )
after all this probably someone or all of us will be able to help you.

Hey stanzzz,
Sorry i am a bit tenses, so couldnt provide much info earlier. Here you go with the more detailed reply:
1st: Its a custom rom WB 6.0.S
2nd: it is a rooted phone.
3: I dont remember doing a major change. just installed some apps from market and updated some apps
5. baseband is 2.1.71 and kernel is 2.6.29.
Please let me know if any more information is required..
Please help.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In my opinion you should do a fresh install again. i was on wolf rom a while ago and never had any issues with it. may be do a fresh install.
so 1st format data(backup ur contact or sync with google and backup only your apps(not data) via zemna (free app in market.)
2 nd : format chache, then wipe dalvic cache. do it like 2 or 3 times.
3rd install the rom again. pretty sure you will be fine..
if you still have issues try some other ROM just to see if its Wolf rom or something else. if you are not that fussed abt timescape try "Violence CM7- ZMOD tweaked. i am using it and its super fast with good network ..sorry DONT try violence ROM as its for unlocked BL UNLESS YOU ARE COMFORTABLE.
ru sure ur baseband is 2.1.71?? if its there still try flashing the baseband again !!
first, if you are on stock ROM, you might want to do a Repair thru PC Companion. Do a backup first of the things you need to save (i.e. messages, contacts, etc.).
if you are on a custom ROM, you do the same as well, Repair first thru PC Companion (or SEUS if you like), then root, reinstall xRec (or CWM), then reflash your custom ROM.
I actually had a similar (?) problem with the WB rom. From time to time (I am going to emphasize that this does not happen often at all and only happens if I lose signal for a long period of time without turning my phone to airplane mode and then going back to a place with signal), my phone will lose its connection to my service provider. The signal bar will be strong but if I scroll down the status bar, it'd say "Emergency Call Only". I was unable to dial out or receive calls. The only way I managed to fix this is to take out both the battery and the sim card for a good 5 minutes and then replug eveyrthing in and reboot. If you haven't reflashed yet, you can try that.
But if you reflash WB rom or another rom, I would also suggest 2 things:
1. Back up a working rom immediately so if this happens again, you can use backup
2. See what apps you downloaded off market. Check what you updated as well. Remember not all apps in market are "safe"--some apps can really screw your phone. Some apps also have funny reactions to phones. So test each app after installation to find the problem app.

This problem maybe is easier than you think,this behaviour of the phone its the same when you modify a contact and check the box to send the call to voicemail,you dont even notice the incoming call,but when you see the call logs,call is there,check that first.
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...
