i am planning on buying XPERIA MINI soon but i've heard that it has few problems(global) like
* battery overheat
* strange activity of capacitive buttons(menu & back button start without even touching them)
due to these problems the phone seems barely usable
is this true , if yes did installing cyanogen-mod rom solve this problem ???

The phone works fine with me. It's definitely usable. Just because one experiences a problem doesn't mean that everyone else does.

I dont have battery overheat. Capacitive buttons accidentally start only when I breath on em.
Plus I edited my keyboard layout so I can only unlock with power button.

thanks for your answers but i am referring to ST15i (without hardware keyboard)
but this is a global problem almost 44 members are shouting their problem at sonytalk @ http://talk.sonyericsson.com/message/112523#112523
Like you, my last unit was wildfire and it wasn't charging, there's a problem with the mobo and the warranty is expired a week after it happened that's why I chose xperia mini with Adreno 205 compared to wildfire S adreno 200.
Other users are definitely having problems with the capacitive buttons namely the back and menu key. So far, I had my xperia mini for over 3 weeks now and it doesn't have that problem. Honestly, I'm worried that the problem might show. However, from the moment I had the unit, I charged it overnight and been doing it ever since. I've been playing games with it like nfs shift for more than 30mins and the battery doesn't overheat the same as with charging it overnight. Overall, it's a fairly powerful phone and can play HD games with no lag at all. The only thing I don't like about it is sometimes I struggle reading texts while using its browser.
And oh, the sound(xloud) is awesome especially while using its stock earphones.
thank you for the info ....i am going to wait until sony finds a solution to this problem
you are quiet a lucky one ...i hope you wont have any such problems with your device
Dude its the best phone ive had. Coming from galaxy s
Hi. May i know when did you guys buy your xperia mini? I'm planning to buy the phone this week then I read the problems. I'm choosing samsung fit, lg optimus net and xperia mini. obviously, xperia mini as an edge to them but because of the problems I read, I'm having second thoughts. Help!
Like I said before, I bought mine for over 3 weeks now and doesn't have any problems(hoping it would stay that way). And I'm very happy with it.
dude, it support multi-touch? ?how many finger support?

Maybe does not seems to be so bad, but it's even worse: ST15i become totally unusable, when the capacitive buttonns are going crazy.
My phone has worked just fine for more than one month, but now it works only until the temperature goes above 34-35 celsius degree. Then the capacitive buttons starts activating, and the phone does not respond to any other command untill the temperature drops below 30 degrees.

I bought my phone at the begining of september and it was working perfectly untill last week, when this capacitive problems has started.

yes but not my mini ;-)
I also bought my mini september 9. And so far so good, as it doesn't give any of the capacitive buttons malfunction.
Me too bought this about 1 month ago and didn't have any problem. the only problem was LCD brightness which was flashing sometimes in medium light places. but it solved after upgrading to 2.3.4
it's a good phone with many good features and suitable price
well, can we put some geographical or Weather classification here ??
i mean hot countries having this problem, while COLDER ones not having them ???
or it's irrelevant ???

Hello,
I bought my wife a Galaxy Tab 10.1 for Christmas, and its been a pretty horrible experience thus far.
The device force closes constantly, and reboots every few minutes. We managed to make it all the way to the settings menu one time and clicked on the software update. It failed so we ended up updating through kies.
After the update, no change, force close city, constant reboots.
Is this at all normal?
I'm an experienced Android user and have been searching high and low for a solution, but i have no specific problem, simply nothing works.
I am considering returning it (hopefully the Amazon seller i bought it from won't give me any ****) if i can't get it fixed and getting another.
I just wanted to check here to see if there was some kind if common problem that could be remedied before hassling with a return.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

I too, just got a Galaxy Tab 10.1 but I'm not having any of those problems you mentioned. My only grief is that the browser is really problematic but other than that, my experience has been pretty good so far.
Thats not normal its should be working fine out of the box.

Nope not normal...nor good
If I were you I'd return the tab and get a replacement. It's definitely not normal for it to be acting the way it does, everything should work out of the box (if it was just a FC here and there or a bit of lag or sth it would be understandable, but what you're experiencing is definitely not normal).
While it could be a simple software problem that you could fix with a new ROM/kernel/whatever, it could also be something else, so I'd definitely recommend getting a replacement to be on the safe side.
Thanks for the replies!
Yes i am returning it, the Amazon seller tried to charge a restocking fee, which sounded scammy to me (sell defective product, charge $60 to return it, sell again to someone else, wash, rinse, repeat), but Amazon came through in a big big way.
So we will be headed to the store soon to get a brand new one.
I look forward to participating in this forum!
Thanks!

After getting the tab back (and one that works fine this time ) I'd recommend flashing a custom ROM/kernel to really make it fly. But as you said you're an experienced Android user, I'm sure you already know the basics - if you don't and can't find them on the forums, feel free to ask away ^_^

I had the same problem with ICS, but i downgrade to GB. First I did the "sunbath", and works, but some apps started to crush. So I decided to go back to GB. Until now, it works flawless. I lose a couple of functions, but it's better than the "sunbath".
UPDATE1: After a couple of weeks the problem came back. Anybody, got a solution other than throw to the garbage the phone?
UPDATE2: Well, I really don't know what makes appears the touch screen problem again, but since I install GB, I got only once that the screen didn´t work and only for a short time. I've been using for a couple of days and I didn't have any trouble at all. I'm guessing that is like a bug software problem, but if someone find a final solution, please post it.
Hey!
Hey guys. I also have the same problem. My service test in touch screen was so terrible. Also behind delete button in keyboard. Lower part right side of the screen. What shall we do?
Additions.
Haha. I forgot the attchmnts
same problem
Same Problem here to.
Anyone know something about this problem?
Anybody got a workaround?
Thanks
Another one with the same problem, mine in the low right side of the screen. Im using the glove mode otherwise its impossible to use it. Somebody with JB, which disables glove mode, has resolve the problem??Im asking this because while its not responding, I restart the phone an enter CWM, and there, its responses perfectly.
So, somebody with this problem, has flashed the any port of JB and resolve this issue??
ok, I´ve tested with JB and it became more responsive but also having the problem.
I left the phone with direct sunligth and now it is ok WTF!!??
have you tried calibrating it? there's an app at the play store if i'm not mistaken..
I have tried everything but 1 thing worked. Sunbathing your sola will recalibrate touchscrren. I dont know how it work but it sure does the job. I'm afraid i have to sell my phone cause i dont want any problems. Now i'm using galaxy s3 mini

SunBathing Works!!!
Hi, Sunbathing really works as a last effort for Xperia Sola
It fixed mine and the time needed for your phone under the sun is approx..1 hour
Dont worry about the battery
I just bought my Z today and am having a few issues with it. First, the automatic brightness doesn't work. That is if it is turned on/off from the menu bar it does not work at all. If it is changed within settings the brightness does change to a certain level and that's all it does. Second, the tablet is extremely slow installing some applications. I have owned many different android devices and never experienced the absolute slowness this tablet has when installing some apps. Not all apps install slow, but I had one take over a minute when it should have taken about 5 seconds. And finally when using the browser, the touchscreen becomes very unresponsive when downloading and installing applications. I try to scroll by swiping the screen and sometimes the tablet just completely misses seeing that input.
Edit - I tested the auto brightness some more and it does work, it's just not as sensitive as some other devices I am used to.
Edit2 - I think the slow install could be a bug with the custom skin Sony uses on top of the o/s. It's sometimes getting 'stuck' displaying the install message.

If you've just bought it today and you haven't too much stuff on it I'd try a factory reset and try again. I have had three different models of Asus tabs (all rubbish), still have my original galaxy I/O tab (great for its age) and I can honestly say this is the most fluid and rapid tab I have seen.... That includes installing apps which as soon as I started using it caused me to remark how quickly it downloaded and installed from the play store.
Auto brightness is also sensitive and rapid on my unit, to the point it annoyed me at the beginning cos i thought it was too sensitive...
If that doesn't work maybe your unit is faulty

Worth a try but still think it's unusual for him to have these problems. For me the benefit of 370 upgrade was screen sensitivity improvement, the app install problem was not apparent either before or after upgrade

I returned the 16gb model and bought a 32gb instead. I think the auto bright is just less abrupt than I am used to, but it does work. The only problem I am having on the 32gb which I did not have (or notice) on the 16gb are the 'phantom touches'. Twice today the tablet went into the settings all by itself. I'm going to research this issue more....

Hi Rob, there I would recommend latest software for the screen sensitivity and if that doesn't cure the problem I'm sorry to say that it could be a faulty digitizer, so back to shop again
Hi guys!
I bought the Z3TC LTE and are very happy with the device but I experience kind of ghosting with the touch screen:
Moving my finger up and down on an scrollable page / app it starts missing or skipping a movement!
Is that a general problem or should I return the device?
I made an demonstration Video:
http://youtu.be/EUeAt1HMt-w
try a reboot.
is it only 1 app or is it happening on different apps?
Reproducible in every App! Reboot does not help!
If I find time I'm gonna try the same on an Z3TC in an local store..
hmmm thats strange....
glove mode is not on right?
If not, try a factory reset.
if that does not work, sounds like service.....
does this happen when you are charging the device? sometimes this is caused by a charger that doesn't supply sufficient current

I think I am facing the opposite of that. The screen is far too sensitive and sometimes takes a scroll as a touch. Happens everywhere on the device. I fear it's a hardware thing.

Exactly that made me aware of the problem! Did you try what I did in my YouTube video?
I have tested an black Z3TC WLAN in the local store! Could not reproduce the problem! Gonna send it back, keep you updated!
I had a similar problem for a couple of days.
The tablet would scroll up and down on web pages erratically and also when using the keyboard it would enter words independently.
The issue resolved itself after awhile so there is nothing I can suggest to fix it.

Mine also typing by itself (when battery below 20%)
I had the same issue and end up got a replacement from vendor. They didn't do serious check and question me as usual. Then give me another one.
it makes me feel this is a common issue with this tablet.
Mine works perfectly fine

Also the replacement tablet has the problem! Could you guys please write which model you have? Might be LTE related!?
