Hello!
Well... I have this phone since yesterday... I plugged to the computer with Kies, and well, a update was available... now the phone have Froyo and the aesthetics changed completely, it looks awesome.
But, the phone have this ANNOYING problem that, after using it... like 5~10 minutes of no activity, when I try to use the phone again it doesnt work... doesn't respond to any button, I have to take off the battery in order to restart it and that over and over again...
I've realized also that this happens when I'm using wifi, if I left the phone with wifi on this happens, without wifi seems to work fine.
Somebody have any clue what could be? there's little information about this issue in the internet...
I think I'm going to return it but I want to try everything I can do (without voiding the warranty) since the phone was perfect for what I wanted.
Thanks in advance!
Hey. I got the same problem here. It only happened a few times when I just had froyo that came stock on my galaxy 5 but I recently installed cyanogenmod 7 and now its happening everytime I put my phone down.
So I'm guessing it may be directly related to what rom is installed? I've heard about it happening a bit to people who have 2.1 installed to.
I dont know too much but it seems the only fix is to take out battery and turn on.
Sorry I can't help more. I hope somebody knows a bit more than me on this.
Think this is called something like the 'wifi sleep of death', something to do with the rom. i'd try change the rom and see if it still occurs
Thanks for the hints tho!, but I returned the phone... it seems that is a bug related to the update of the phone, since I know that with the out of the box 2.1 version it doesn't have that issue...
You know, the mobile carriers also do weird stuff to the roms... -__-

Hey guys just curious but has anyone else had any problems regarding to the phone just randomly switching itself off and then back on again? This has happened to me a few times now and thought i'd see if anyone else had, had this happen to them and knew what was causing it or any information at all really.
Thanks in advance to anyone who has any ideas!
Unless of course it is just me which would really suck.
I saw you debranded your phone.
Those restarts happened before too? If yes, you might want to send it to warranty.
If no, is the new firmware so, you might want to flash the old firmware again
Yeah sorry i should have mentioned that the random restarts occurred before and after the debranding. I think I may need to send it in
this same thing is happeining to me?? like once a day??? its really wierd...
I haven't debranded or anyhting and it has only started happening for the past week or so (I've had the phone for a month)
It happens to me when I connect my phone to my PC via USB and select "Mount".
Every time!!
Weird...
sadly this is a hardware issue... Whenever the phone warms up a little bit.
I didn't have that issue in the first months but ever since then and more and more frequently. Right now I'm fighting with o2 to get a new device, because this doesn't seem to be repaired.
Do the following test to make sure you have that hardware-bug:
Let the battery charge for a while. When you notice your phone getting a little warm, open a few applications (google maps, navigation, mediascape) whatever... The phone should immediately restart itself.
When you remove the battery cover it might also smell a little burnt.
Congrats... You're affected and it's only gonna get worse...
Hey guys my mini started rebooting itself randomly sometimes very often ive been using the cyanogen mood for one month and it never happened but one day it just started from nothing then I pushed it back to the 2.1.... through xrecovery but the reebots didn't stop at all I tought it could be caused by adw ex then I installed it but didn't work... I formatted my sd card nothing changed.
the only difference things I've been doing with my phone since it started rebooting is using the data traffic instead of wireless because I'm away from home
using pdanet once in a while
and charging it through the charger l used to charge it through my notebook before
can one of these things cause those reboots? It's very boring
many people asked this!
Just use options Find In this Forum !
The forum isn't allowing me to use the search through my phone and I don't have my notebook right now sorry.
Edit: I tried the search engine again and it worked now but none solved my question so does anyone have an idea of what could be happening?
I've been told today that it can be due the low data traffic... thank you again
I get random reboots too.
this happens when i do a newroom rss update + ebuddy + foursqare thru wifi.
But i've had it happen when I just want to load a game too.
the phone reboots with the sony logo, then it reboots again.
usually after the 2nd or 3rd reboot. everything loads up fine again. is this the same with you?
No mine is more like Turning off itself from time to time I pushed my phone back to the SE version through SEUS and it has been like 24h and no reboots til now... I just want to make sure it's not any hardware problem or is before sending to Sony.

Hey bro,
Um well using cyanogen, it has a few problems in it, one of them being when using an app that require root if that app is closed then for some reason the device unmounts the sdcard to safely remove it. Has this happened to you before it reboots? If so then there is nothing can be done right now, you will just have to wait for Owain to fix in the next update or two of either cyanogen port.
There are other issues including issues with wifi. In my expierence, if there are some issues anywhere in software, there is bound to be more (no offence Owain you rock) so there may very well be issues with something your using or doing differently
Hope this helped, if you need anything else just ask.
Cheers,
Jeremy.
Mine didn't turned off anymore after I reinstaled the 2.1.1.0.6 through SE too bad I'm stuck on 2.1 now =/ but I'm ok because I was scared of it being a hardware problem. Thanks god it's not
Hey guys, I've been having issues with my X10a's data connection. Tried the latest Wolf's gingerbread, and of course flashing down to a generic 2.1 which does seem a bit more stable on the connection but I'm hoping I can figure out the issue completely.
Basically, when the radio initiates a data connection the handset has a good chance of freezing up and plopping itself into a nasty little reboot. Now I've tried up and down flashes like I said, tried a new battery, SD cards and I'll probably resort to buying a new sim to test with to rule that last bit out too. Any help would really be appreciated. Here's some current info.
*Wireless seems to work just fine
*can make calls send texts
Carrier AT&T
Android Ver. 2.3.3
Baseband Ver. 2.1.71
Kernel: 2.6.29-00054-g5f01537
Thanks in advance for any help guys.
Maybe this can help:
Via recovery:
Wipe dalvik cache
advanced options-fix permissions.
greets
Tried it a couple times but it Didn't seem to help any unfortunately, thanks anyway.
Edit: I've set my phone to not use Data on the phone radio for the time being so I can still at least use wifi which seems to be doing just fine Calls work and text messaging works just fine too bizarrely enough. Another thing I'd like to note is that One dump log (that I unfortunately lost) from when I was testing to make sure it wasn't a heat issue both times seemed to point to some possible networking related aspect, NPARTS? or the like with some other stuff.

Added, any help is always appreciated, it's a bit weird how this issue is slowly starting to surface for multiple people at once.
Why add GTalk instead post it here so everybody can solve if it happens to them.

cuz im not the expert @@
im afraid of making mistake as well?
so yeah, better in conversation but i got my phone work after 2 days of flashing back and forth @@
but anyway... will see how it go with the person i just helped, if it goes well then i ll start, if not then idk... will figure something out
Well, no luck with any 2.3.3 based android unfortunately so I down flashed to a 10a 2.1 build and that seems to run just fine as far as the radio is concerned, in the end I think there's just so many factors to muddle through hardware wise cables, sims, batteries yada-yada that i'll take this turn of fortune and wait to see if SE ever releases anything 10a specific on the assumption there may be an off chance it addresses some rare little quirk a few others and myself seem to have.
Sounds similar to my problem, maybe same solution... Every time phone is on charger and network is used, phone automatically rebooted after a little while. For me, this was same on all WB GB roms until now. But now, I am typing this and browsing XDA while charging and its not rebooting. I cant give you a guarantee but maybe phone just needs time to settle? Its been preyty good to me for a while now.
flash the phone in the weekend and leave it alone for like half a day or something^^
i leave it overnight and surprisingly wake up and see the phone is on without any lose of battery ( well, 1or 2% ) ^^!
Just an update on my progress. I was playing around with the phone last night, and had managed to get it to the stage of having the 2.3 update but without a sim. I charged it to 100% and then attempted to put in the sim card. It didn't like that very much and instead of going through the restart loop, it just would not turn on.
I flashed it back to 2.1 and i it worked again. Then i flashed it to 2.3 and it wouldn't turn on again. Flashed it back to 2.1 and gave up for the night.
This morning, i tried to put in the sim card in 2.1 and it worked!
I think on my next days off, (in 2 days) i will try and flash it to 2.3 and see what happens.
In reference to the posibility of a hardware issue, i did not smell any burning The phone has been running all night and the battery is not hot at all. In fact it is cold. It could still be a hardware issue, but I'm not getting any of the issues described in that thread mentioned execpt the restarting.
Yeah, it's seeming like our phones are in a little "Does not like 2.3" minority If I could decipher the hardware version stuff under the battery maybe that would offer some more clues up.

Yeah, i'll take a picture of the the specs and post it up here in the next few days.
srsly guys... u need more than a day to flashing around to get it working.. especially the BB + kernel... as far as i can remember... because mine is x10a... i flashed the 2.1 generic FW and i have BB54... then i root + install xrecovery...
then i flash the 2.3 ftf via flashtool using the flashtool mentioned in Doomlord rooting method section ( because the xrecovery only working if u install through that version)
after flash, i leave it all night ( well because i felt to sleep while the phone still booting) in the morning i wake up and there it is... battery is nearly as full and phone running great with signal
then i root the phone via doomlord method + install xrecovery... then leave the phone for a while see if any reboot--- but none
so i start flash via xrecovery wolf's version... firstly on 3.5.... nothign else and leave it for half a day....
Yeah, that's what i plan on trying. The method of leaving it for a while after you have done something worked for my sim card issue.
do it on weekend yeah? or else u gonna get bored because otw to work the x10 keep rebooting =))
I use xperia x10a japanese docomo base. And i have the same problem
Any gingerbread rom get into boot loop once i insert my sim card. Without sim, it just works fine. What might be the problem, and how to fix it?
So far so good
I can confirm a very slow and steady pace works the best, Running Wolf's now and it seems stable so far, I'll keep an eye on it and give you guys an update in a while.
it will be fine.. just let it run without flashing anything ^^!
for a while
Hey guys, new Photon owner (loving the phone) and just wanted to let you all know I found a solution to the SOD and random rebooting for my phone. I hope others who have this issue are able to resolve their problem as easily as I was able to.
It had already been suggested that a loose battery is the culprit however, many of you reported that even after adding padding to make the battery tighter the SOD was still occurring.
I think the issue is how the fix is being applied. I applied a strip of a business card folded over to the end of the battery (opposite of where the contacts are) and not on top of the battery between the cover. Look at attached photo.
This has solved all of my problems and I really hope it can do the same for you!
Cool, I haven't had this issue but hopefully this will help the ones who have it.
Have u updated to the latest sbf? Ever since i did that the other night i haven't had the issue

My phone is running version 45.2.7.MB855.Sprint.en.US
Is there a newer version? When I checked for updates on the phone it says I have the lastest installed.

whenever I do this, and I have done it several times with several releases trying to fix my reboot issue, my phone never seems to be "back to stock". I still have apps showing up that were installed and other little odds and ins that seem to point to it not totally wiping everything out.
Also for reboots, never had a SOD, my seem to be if the WIFI in on and attached and I receive a call, then leave wifi my phone will never be able to make another call until I reboot it and or it reboots itself. And sometimes it'll actually will do it without leaving wifi.... so everyone try that a few times and see if it happens to you. Seems the dialer locks up so I am trying to find out how to replace it with the atrix one or one that will work.
UPDATE: WOW talking about reproing an issue.... as I was typing this on my PC my phone was downloading an app VIA wifi. did not even receive a call or txt. turned WIFI off and noticed a few moments later 3G never came back to replace WIFI(since I turned it off) and now my voice/3g radio is totally locked up. Tried making a call and nothing, no txt. turn WIFI on hit the internet just fine, but no 3G radio!!!! Man this is awesome!!!
So I recently got my old bricked evolte replaced by Sprint. The one I was given worked fine the entire time the device was powered on. However, once turned off and back on, its screen would not work. It stayed like this for hours, until I finally started playing with it and realized it would come back on after playing with it for a little bit. I also found out that with this error the home screen pops up for a second when powering on your device, and that's exactly what I had. I read up on the error and found out it was a software error, and to reset to factory settings. So, this fixed it, I thought.
So now, after it is apparently fixed, it still does this to some extent. It will do this if the phone has been powered on for a while, and the screen won't stay off for more than like 2 or 3 minutes. Also the home screen doesn't pop up any more like it used to with the other error.
So what should I do? I was thinking of going to Sprint, but my problem is hardly reproducible. It only happens when it's been powered on for a long time, and won't do it twice in a quick succession. I feel that even if I could show them the problem, they might think they've fixed it when they haven't because it won't do it twice. I would like to root my device, but I'm afraid they're going to say that I'm the cause of the problem if I do that. If it's just a software problem though, maybe flashing a custom rom would fix the problem.
What do you guys think? What do you think is the best course of action? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Never mind, I didn't know Sprint would order you a new phone if it was a minor problem like that. I thought they would only repair yours. So feel free to close this thread.
