My girlfriends all original at&t 1.6 x10 all of a sudden decided it would charge when it wanted to, then the other day just crapped out completely. It kept randomly rebooting so yesterday I restored it using the update service and it seemed fine for about 12 hours.
Today it crapped out again and started rebooting, basically it did the same thing.
I've been screwing around with it using different batteries, and sim/memory cards and I kept getting the same results until I accidentally turned on airplane mode.
Its been up and running in airplane mode for a couple hours without a problem. When I turn off airplane mode, it starts having problems again.
Now what to do?

It might be an app that you recently installed that is causing this problem.
to be safe, i would recommend you to go to the sony ericsson's support website, download the update service software and flash your phone to stock again.

There is not 2.1 on AT&T. They are still running 1.6
so any other advice? im kinda in a bad spot here and dont have the scratch for a new phone
update: just installed generic 2.1 & crossing my fingers
If it is not a software issue flash back to 1.6 and use warranty or insurance. My phone would overheat nad get stuck in bootloops.
update: still crapping out randomly.
im starting to think maybe its not the software or firmware
same issue here, random reboot with official firmwares, if I can change my phone I'll do it as soon as possible, I will never took an SE device anymore.

Well this is fun. My phone had been running for a week without me installing or updating anything on it. Then today I was starting to get a few "android force close" messages on the phone so I decided to re-start it. I turned it off the regular way, but when I tried to turn it on again nothing happened. So I waited a while and tried again. Still nothing. So I decided to wait some more. After a while I noticed that the phone was starting to get very hot, and it still wouldn't turn on. So now I really don't know what to do. I could do a reflash but I don't have any recent backups so I really don't want to. Does anybody have any other suggestions?
Do you have battery? When batteries get near zero they start heating

Pull the sim and start it up without, these phones have a habit of weird behavior related to the sim card. If that helps, see what happens with an alternative sim. If no luck there I'd try a firmware repair.
It happen to me twice. My x10 mini pro only vibrate when I turn it on but it doesn't start. The first time it happens only 3 days after I buy it. I resolve it by taking it to se service center. They re flash the firmware. A week later it happens again. But after some googling, I found I can do the firmware reinstall by myself. You can use sony ericsson "update service" which can downloaded from support area on sonyericsson.com

I gave up trying to find a solution that doesn't invlove a reflash so I bit the bullet and started the process. For some reason my pc failed to download the new firmware and that somehow resulted in the phone powering back on by itself.
It works now. Yay
After flashing my phone to the Rogers 2.1 firmware, I noticed the phone gets hot. The phone was fully charged when it got hot..so I decided to turn the phone off and remove the battery and put it back after 5 minutes..I put the battery back and restart and now the battery is at 34%!!!
Before pulling the battery I noticed that it had dropped to 96% without being used within 30 minutes..woke up today and noticed that the battery meter went back to 95%..
What can be done to resolve this issue?
I would suggest a fresh reflash using SEUS, without installing any new apps or restoring data untill you are happy. Then install everything back slowly.
That would mean that I would need to downgrade back to 1.6..or SEUS will report that I have the latest update already..

Do the "Repair" option, if not available in SEUS, try PC Companion.

Hi,
I bought a mini pro sk17i a week back. I updated the phone via pc companion to 2.3.4 (4.0.2.A.0.58). The phone was working fine, but after 2 days it started to reboot itself after a call. after 5 continuous reboot i reset the phone (erased all data), then it worked fine for 2 days. Today while i was shopping i made a call, then it started to reboot. One of the things i noticed was from that point any number i dialed was not showing in the call logs. i couldnt reset the data as i was busy shopping and kept the phone in ma pocket. Later i find the phone is switched off mode. I tried pressing power button but nothing happens. Took the battery out and re inserted the battery. did a reset and it started to work fine. When i took the battery out it was a lil hot (warm) and the phone was also warm (battery area).
Here are my questions;
1.Why did this happen.
2. The phone was a lil hot when i removed the battery, can any part inside the phone be damaged if it goes hot.
3. Is this because of hardware problem/Software problem.
(I did a full reflash using flashtool and the latest firmware, till now its working fine.. dunno if this will happen again)
seems like firmware problem to me.
take the phone to service center if haplens again.
but I guess its fixed now, tho I dont know the reason, might be something happened by updating
It happened again. I flashed back to 4.0.2.A.0.42. What could be the problem.

This might be due to any software you installing after flashing...
Try to remember what you do after flashing and uninstall that software
Else get global copy of .58 update and flash that .ftf packageby using flashtool...

Have you had this issue since flashing back to .42?
We will roll out a new software starting next week (.6x) mainly meant to improve the memory management to avoid reboots. Might be exactly what you need.
The roll out will start 12W02 but all phones won't get it at the same time so I cannot say for sure when your phone will get it.
Please post again and let me know when you got this so I know if it helped or not.

Hi Markus, Thanks for the response. As soon as i bought the phone i updated the firmware using pc companion. The flashing part went fine and the phone was working fine for 3 days, then it started reboots and turnoffs. I reinstalled the firmware and the same happened again. Then i observed this repeatedly happens when i finish call or lock the phone once it happens. i Also noticed the last called persons info is not stored in call log. But if u plug it for charging then the phone is fine. I rolled back to the previous .42 version. It was working fine for 4 days, yesterday after an hour of music playback (battery was around 44% or below) this happened again. i turned off the phone once it started restarting itself . then turned it on and cleaned the call logs. From that point its working fine without any shutdowns/restarts. Please help, i'm pretty sure that this is not a hardware issue. if the phone can run fine for 3 days without any probs..

me too when i use GPS or Wlan (.42 and .58 Firmware).
Thanks for the info.
I suggest you wait for the new update (.6x) which should hopefully be available for your phone very soon. If this won't fix the problem you have or if you don't feel like waiting for it (I cannot give an exact date when you will get it) you should contact a service center and have them examine the phone and do whatever necessary to get it working properly.
Repair routines varies a lot depending on market and local laws so you should give the local support a call and ask for some info about this if you choose to go with the service option.

Oops, double post.
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....

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.

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
Hey guys I'm new to the forum so go easy on my
So here's the story, last month when the .314 update came I was to impatient to wait until it got the over the air update so I dowloaded it from XDA flashed it using flash tools. I've done the many times before tomy z2 and also to my previous phones and everything went fine. But this time after around 20% of the flashing was complete the completion bar just got stuck there forever. I waited an hour but nothing seemed to be happening so knowing well that it'll brick my phone I unplugged it from the PC. After some googling I found out that there was a new version of flashtools available so I unisntalled my previous version and installed the new one and flashed the same ftf file again. This time to my relief the flashing went normal and my phone was successpfully updated. After a few hours of use my phone just randomly restarted. I didn't pay any attention to it but in the following days my phone started restarting at the most random times around 3-4 times a day. So obviously I knew that something has gone wrong. So I used my booted my phone into safe mode but the problem presisted, I tried doing a hard reset and then I use SUS to repair it but the problem was still there.I even flashed the singtel version of the same firmware version but even then the phone just randomly rebooted. There's nothing wrong with the sim because I switched the sim too (because some people kept insisting that the sim is to blame although I knew in my case that it wasn't) but as I expected the problem presisted. Now I'm at a loss as to what to do.I bought the phone from singapore but right now I don't live there so I can't claim warranty (even if I could).
So I turn to you, the experts in XDA it would be great help if you guys can guid me to a solution or atlesat tell me what the hell is actually wrong with the phone.
Ps: the restarts are entirely random. eg: I can play asphault for hours or shoot 4K for a long time without any problems but then I try texting someone and the phone restarts.

Telephony is actualy the phone part of a smart phone, its sim card slot to the app it self
Usualy when there is a problem with any one of those it will cause a phone to not function properly
In this case yours is one of them

I see. Unfortunately the country I live I'm in at the moment doesn't have a sony service centre or anything of the sort so I have to go back to Singapore to actually give it for repairs.
But how is it possible that I got a hardware damage just by a flashing error? I mean before that incident the phone worked just fine for 3 months and I've never dropped my phone or done anything to actually damage it physically.
