[Q] Wolfbreak's rom and battery issue - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Since I've installed Wolf's CM 6.1.3 rom I'm having a bad time with my X10. It keeps crashing randomsly, and then I need to remove the battery, wait a few minutes (like 5 minutes), then reinsert it and try to turn the cel on again, otherwise it does not work (it just vibrates sometimes, other times it starts to load, stops at "Sony Ericsson" then turn off again).
The problem is worse by now, as it still happens even if I go back to stock ROM (2.1). I've noticed that the battery gets very hot during these issues, and I need to remove it and wait it to cool down before the phone be able to power up again. It keeps crashing or freezing during daily usage.
Does anyone have any advice about this issue? Gauge Battery Widget shows that the voltage is 3.768V, and the temperature is always around 33 degrees (Celsius). Today I had to put the battery in the refrigerator in order to cool it down, as the phone wasn't working for, like, one hour.
Sorry for the bad English. still learning!
Thanks!

Try repairing it via Sony Ericsson Update Service. If that doesn't work attempt flashing a basebrand and firmware you know is stable with your phone. If that doesn't work it sounds like another internal problem you may need to bring in to get fixed.

[Q] Phone restarts after a while. Read more inside.

Hello, I wondered why my phone is overheating so much... im using v6stock by Wolfbreak. Locked bootloader, stock kernel, without overclock or undervolt.
Do i have to flash something else or make some settings on some app, or its just from the phone?
Its overheating for example, last night, i was testing some TD game, in 8-9 minutes, the phone restarted, and again, and again, till i pulled out the battery for a 5-10 minutes. Switched back on, everything is fine, quick setup of the time and date. And im ready to play another 10 minutes
If u can, then re install, the ROM.
Then, fully charge the phone to 100%.
Go to xrecovery, and do a "wipe battery stats"
Now, let the phone discharge till it shuts down, by itself.
If it still, causing problem, then run "Repair Service" via SEUS.
"Sorry for my bad English"
Thanks, ill try it.
Ok, its not software problem. Ive changed the roms, from wolf v6 to skuMIUI and DX3.On all of them my phone is overheating.
I know its normal to heat the phone, when im playing. But 10 minutes max to overheat the phone till 45C is not normal.
Can it be fixed somehow? (my warranty has ended juli)
just a suggestion : flash ur device to a stock rom.
i think its a kernel prob...try flashing any other kernel!

My X10i restarts itself unexpectedly

Hi
i have this problem "my X10i restarts itself unexpectedly", regardless of the ROM or kernel installed from stock to costumed one.
it happens sometime when opening programs like titanium backup or ROM toolbox, and every time when playing games approximately after
5min like angry bird.
i think this problem is hardware related, and i need to know what part is causing it, and how it happened after 1 year from purchasing the phone?
and does the android system keep "log file" some were for such problems.
Thanks.

Is the phone plugged in and charging when this happens???
I used to get a lot of problems with gaming on x10, the device would become extremely hot and reboot, whereas removing charger allowing device to cool down for 5 minutes would stop it from rebooting
now i can play games no problem, but if i leave it plugged in charging for ages, the game will overheat the device even at 998mhz
its just the x10 is getting old lol
yes my phone heats, and its always unplugged when restarts itself, and i have tried to apply different freq for CPU and the problem persists.
Suggestion!!!!

flash a different rom and kernel if youre on unlocked bootloader, then try to calibrate the battery by going to recovery and wipe battery stats after completing a full charge.. press thanks if i helped you friend, its just an easy thing.. cheers.. :victory:
today finally i have figured out what was causing the problem witch is " if i boot my phone without a sim card or in flight mood" my phone do not restart it self no matter how unless i do it, so the problem was if i try to connect to a network and i have tried 2g and 3g and many operator my phone starts to restart.
so please any body suggest any solution.
is it the what is called "RADIOS" or "base-band" so can i change it. or are there versions so i can try
by the way mine says "2.1.71"

Well, I have this problems 1 year or so. Tryed everything, and nothing helps so I gave up. The problem appears, when your X10i temperature go up above 25 Celsius. I have tryed to use it in cold conditions. 6-25 celsius - phone working fine, without restarts, but when temperature goes up to 26 or so, it's starting to restart. I have no idea what to do with this crap phone, so I left it in my drawer. If u will success to fix it, let me know, and good luck.

That probably means overheat or overload. Overheat situation occur in Phones normally cut off itself when meets abnormal temp increase within short duration, in order to prevent CPU melting by itself. Other than that, overload will also happens when phone is running out of free RAM or enough working space, which burdens phone and might cause phone unable to carry out its activities. But x10 is normal to happen likethat since its not so high tech hardware and RAM. So use it moderately. Hope these info helps

I can't use that phone moderately. Sometimes at startup it freezes and starting to restart itself. Sometimes when u're writing sms it restarts and etc. Tryed a lot of methods, but finally, happens the same things. In Airplane Mode I can use phone much more longer. If playing games - average 10 minutes without restart, but after that goes freeze and random restarts. So I guess it's motherboard or CPU issue. When I was using this phone in 1.6 or 2.1 it's worked for me perfect. But when the 2.3.3 update release and I updated my phone, it started to do that kind of restarts, reflashes to 1.6 or 2.1 doesn't help. Also tryed another battery, but... I don't have an idea what to do with this phone

xperia sola reboot issue

i have xperia sola i am facing reboot issue in it. cell phone restarts randomly. but more oftentimes when the battery is 60 to 50 percent and also when my battery is in 35 to 20 percent can someone tell me is it battery problem or software problem or any hardware problem? i have falshed many roms but no one solve the problem
If you had this problem before and after flashing, it will be hardware problem then i think.
Sent from my XGO using fingers
Try this:
Install stock firmware, firmware reset, press power button and volume up button (it will vibrate once, you keep pressing and then it will vibrate 3 times and reboot). When it reboots, install Battery Calibration from market, fully charge it and when it says 100% open the application and calibrate it. Then stop charging the phone, let it run without charging it at all, until battery goes dead on its own. Don't charge it for any second at all. Then you can start seeing if its the battery or something else.
Also, please don't install any apps you have for the testing to see if it's some faulty application eating all your battery, or use better battery stats to check for wakelocks but i suggest you do that AFTER you see if it's a battery fault or not.
Switch to 2G mode also, don't use 3G for the testing.
What's your brightness level set to?
What kind of use do you do every day?
I did these things after my battery getting dead in less than 15 hours after 2-3 flashed roms and well it just died now after 1 day and 20-21 hours.
Used it for 2-3 hours in total calls, some wifi use of installing apps, email and small stuff like that, that i often do.
It was always on 2G while i was doing all that, data enabled always even on screen off and syncing on as well.
Normally i switch to 3G when i "need" it or leave it all day long when i know i will charge it when i go to sleep, and use it more than that. It can last alright for a day even then, with heavy use which i think is alright with the ****ty battery technology we still use nowadays.
I don't know if it's battery or software related but if you follow my instructions you can check both.
Personally i believe it's some app causing that havoc.
main problem
my problem is not battery draining i am facing reboot issue. now i have flashed a brand new stock Rom and then unplug the cable when it is at 100% when battery comes to 98% it freezes for 3 to 5 seconds and then it reboot automatically but sometimes it just freezes and shut down

[Q][help] S2 randomly shuts down

Hi. I have a very frustrating issue I hope someone can help with.
Over the last 3 days or so, my s2 has started to randomly shut itself down. It only appears to happen when I'm using an app, nothing specific, it can happen anytime.
The battery level has been anything from around 75% to 30%.
Sometimes when I turn it back on, the battery shows I am at 1 or 2 %, making me think it might be some kind of calibration problem, but I've tried the suggested method to no avail. I've also completely fresh installed the Rom I was on (neat Rom) and tried another (disaster Rom) but the problem remains.
Can anyone suggest what could be causing the random shut downs?
Thank you
Karf
Are you undervolting/ under clocking this can cause a sod
Hi. Nothing like that, just used neat Rom or disaster Rom as they come.

Your phone(battery) has insane gauge chip search for this it answer in your question(it's only for battery)
Happy new year
Paulius
Hi, thanks for the reply. I'm not sure my issue is to do with the guage chip directly, as my phone will switch itself off at any battery level. The issue designed in the other thread its having something like 56% and then having a much lower value after an intended reboot.
Shutdown it's called sleep of death( scary name) but it not death it's just sleeping forever... it problem with your kernel and battery problem is insane gauge chip...
Happy new year
Paulius
I've just charged to full charge, unplugged - and within 2 minutes, the phone froze, could not do anything - so i pressed the power button until it went off, and it booted back up again without me doing anything - when it booted, it showed i had 2% battery. Then it did the same thing, froze, i had to reboot - then it showed 37% battery.........no idea what's going on apart from maybe a faulty battery...
Buy new battery. It was here on the forum a few times.
Yes. When phone hot(sometimes not) it take battery about 50-60%(I don't know exactly) but sometimes it add battery...
If you flash siyah kernel with stweaks(5 version) you can reset it but chip do funny thing even you reset...
Happy new year
Paulius
try Battery caliberation app ...
if it doesnt work buy a new battery
What are you talking about ? It's not battery Fault it's Insane Gauge Chip.... And Battery Calibration not helping...
I decided to go the whole hog and go back to a stock unrooted ICS, after wiping everything, then CFRoot - then reinstalled Neatrom light - currently restoring apps via Titanium - fingers crossed...
I think you don't have anymore BSOD But if you have flash Syiah kernel
Try new kernel and reset fuel gage
Try installing a new kernel like siyah or dorimanx and then reset your battery log this should resolve your problem if not buy a new battery.

I think I have a very similar issue. The randomly reboots happens several times a day, it does not happen though when charging (never). By now I'm on jb leak and still have the issue. When it shuts down, the sreen dims a bit and then it's gone, the weird thing is that often I have to pull the battery or charge the phone before reboot is possible, the battery shows different values after rebooting, sometimes close to what was before (especially when rebooting on charger), and sometimes way off the values before. I came initially from slimrom with siyah or dorimanx kernel, I really hoped jb leak would help (also tried different kernels), but it didn't. It also seems to me that it happens more often with the sd card (32gb) and without the phone seems more stable, but still it happens from tme to time. Once the screen dim (only one or two steps) and shut down even happend when in CWM recovery, is it maybe hardware related? It's very hard to find the source of the problem, anybody else experience similar issues? By the way the shutdown I have is not a proper shut down, the phone doesn't show the message "is shutting down".
I've completely wiped, used Odin to go back to ics stock, installed cfroot, then installed neatrom light. Had the same issue, so I've installed siyah, and used stweaks to reset the battery fuel gauge. I've only been off charge for 10 mins so far, but normally it would have shut down by now, so here's hoping...

Update - battery was at 89%, and the phone shut down, when rebooted, it showed 28%, then when plugging in while it was shut down, the battery icon showed about 50%. Like a previous reply, it never happens on charge, so it does appear that the battery is knackered, time to go shopping I guess :-\

I had the same problem - SOD several times a day. I change the batery with a fresh new samsung 2000 mA one.
Unfortunatelly SOD came back, but I found a trick: turn off WiFi. Use it only manually.
For the past 3 months I succeded to have 0 SOD's.
I know that manual WiFi is a setback but it works with those experiencing SOD.
Hope it will be usefull.

[Q] Xperia X10 troubleshoot near brick situation

My phone is acting weirdly since past few days. I am currently on Feralab GB rom.
Firstly, the phone would automatically restart and battery level would fall by nearly 20% every time.
This leads the battery level to drop down to zero. After that it wont start and wont go into flash mode.
After some time(1-2 days), i tried booting it and it got to the main OS but as battery was 0%, phone automatically turned off.
Afterwards, it behaved normally for few hours. But it again stopped working just now.
What could be the problem ? Any ideas ?
P.S. When the phone turns off by itself, nothing works on it. Not even SEUS.
you could charge the battery with an external charger, or desktop charger something like that, i mean unattached in phone ... make it full
then put it back to phone then install other rom like DonutHD ... the battery performance on it is good, then if you face the same problem it should be a battery problem ... you should change it and buy a new one then

I know it is not a battery problem. Because it wont work with other batteries too when it automatically shuts down.
so ... you couldnt install any other rom because of that problem, tried and failed ??
maybe then its a hardware problem in the phone
