death experia 10 - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

why does the phone always crashes after a few weeks after use?
it goes complete death. anyone who knows what is causing this

Your not alone, my phone has crashed, almost weekly, more reliable than a clock. Ever since I unlocked the bootloader and attempted running custom kernels.

Try reflash stock firmware with flashtool.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App

See that's the funny/weird thing, I have tried stock firmware and kernels, and I have tried relocking the bootloader. Honestly feels like the hardware is just worn out, it's like something shorts out or idk what exactly, but no software fix is going to do it, i've tried it all. I ended up getting an htc evo 3d instead.

do u overclock to max and use ur phone ??? m using it for a year never had this problem !!! and which ROM ru using and which kernel !!

you can always install the stock 2.1.B.0.1 firmware that came out several days ago. I am using it and with a few tweaks it works great and has a lot of improvements

Firstly.. do you have a X10i?
If you do
Then flash the stock rom.
Flash BB.67
Then flash Wolf breaks rom once it's started up crash the server and reboot a few times.
Then flash the TW 007 patch for WB's rom.
Here is the link to the thread that has this fw:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=936733
also i have posted my impressions on this fw on another thread, however i am copy pasting them again here, no prob:
I got it yesterday from xda and to be honest I was not sure whether to update or not, cause of the loss of apps and settings (I have to do them all over again cause I don’t like to back up stuff). I prefer to start fresh when I update. Anyways, to get to the point, the update at first did not seem any different, however after using it for a day it gives the phone a GREATLY improved interface. What I’ve noticed so far:
1. Touch screen is more responsive and the scrolling is smoother (I use launcherPro). I have also tried games like Fruit Ninja, Cut the Rope and Can Knockout 2 and there is a great improve on the touch response without lags or delays. In addition, touch seems more precise.
2. When I wake up the phone and unlock it it does not lag like it did in the previous firmware (.435)
3. Apps and in general everything I tap to open responds faster and has an animation (Not sure if that was from before, I noticed now)
4. I have noticed that the media volume is way higher, I hope I am not mistaken but to me it seems really higher than before. Not sure about the in-call volume though, I cannot really tell any difference, at least not a major one.
5. There is a difference into battery life definitely. I use ATK(Advanced task killer), Autokill set to Screen Off and Security level to Medium. After the upgrade the battery seems to drain slower. However, I cannot tell since I am using the phone for only one day, but i can say that after an normal use of the phone during the day, with several calls, gaming etc. my battery now is down to 73%
That is all i’ve noticed so far. I am not a tester, just a simple user. I have not run any benchmark or similar tests on the phone. I am posting this for the simple users that want to know what to expect from this upgrade.
P.S.: I have removed junk appks and enabled JIT right from the beggining of usage. I figured if I do it before actually use the phone it would reduce the chance for those apps to collect information and save it on the phone, thus improve maybe a bit the speed and space.

now that's weird. did you delete any apks from the phone? if yes make sure you didn't delete the wrong ones. you can either restore them if you have made a backup of them or reflash...
So did it work out? I have a X10a that I flashed to generic firmware and it says X10i now. I am in the USA and wondering if it would work here..

Technically this update is regional, not global, so there could be battery and signal issues if it is not designed for your region. Not enough senior USA X10a members have reported their results trying this German firmware on X10A yet. Try it, if you have trouble flash back, and report back on xda.
Works fine southeast North America x10a

[Q] Help with my X10

Hi all, I have bought my X10 some months ago.
I upgraded regularly my phone up to the first dualtouch release (rooting the phone regularly).
I experienced random problems with the stock roms (reboots) when using some applications and in particular when data is on.
The battery used to go hot sometimes and I had to remove it and put it back in place so that the phone could work again.
I have tried some 2.2 custom roms and the most stable I have found is the tripnmiui 2.2, probably in my case more stable than the stock rom.
I went back to the last 2.1 stock release (2.1.B.0.1) but the video recording works badly and I have reboots when capturing videos generally after 40 seconds.
I have noticed it reboots with trip's rom as well if I take videos in 720p.
I have not tried to go back to older stock releases supposing the last one was performing better.
Would you please suggest me a 2.1 stock rom or a 2.1 custom rom where the camera and video work just fine and I have little battery problems?
If there is a 2.2 rom where I can use video and camera like in the stock rom, would you please suggest it to me?
I am really pissed off.
I am an Ericsson employee (not SE) and I bought this phone so that when I am at the customer they do not see me hanging around with an Apple or a HTC or a Samsung (I received some comments in the past about going around with a Nokia).
But if this phone is so bad I swear I am gonna change it asap and never get another one (in Italy they unfortunately give us company phones which are more like K550, like stone age phones which I will never use).
If there is a way to fix it good, hoping that we get 2.3 asap, either way this is gonna go for sale and I'll get a new samsung or a HTC maybe.
Please help me if you can.
The 2.1 ROM bitsnacker by go3asy with camera enhancements and speed enhancers and performance mods is awesome. Plus it looks cool. No problems at all. Give it a look in the development section.
I personally love the phone. Gingerbread hopefully comes at the end of the month. Maybe.
If you need any links for things I will post them when I get home if you need any or help the flashing stuff.
Just let me know or others know.

Any of you have experienced camera problems (reboots) with stock roms in particular the most recent when capturing at 720p?
It is really strange in my opinion. I also got random reboots while using applications and that battery priblem (it becomes hot at times when data is on and the phone starts rebooting or does not turn on for a while).
Thanks Voelker, I will surely give it a try. I guess it would be great if you can provide the link as well. Thanks in advance.

Ok, I have found the ROM and installed it.
I still have an issue with my video recording in HD.
Recording stops after a few seconds and the system reboots.
Using bb_54 according to the build.
I am thinking something is wrong with the camera.
I have seen that there is a post with a zip file to fix the camera.
Maybe something went wrong in some of the flashing???

Yeah the reboots shouldn't happen. You can use flashtool over or seus to see if that can repair it. But I hope your problem gets solved.
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
The key words here is that you mention the overheating.
This was caused by a early baseband that overheated the chipset.
So you have residual damage on the motherboard and that causes the reboots.
I had the same issue.. after they replaced my motherboard all was good.
Overheating happens really rarely to be honest though.
I don't understand if there is a relation between overheating and video not working.
I just wanted to understand where the camera firmware resides and if and how it is flashed when changing baseband/rom.
Ok, last test performed. Went back to an old stock 2.1 release (2.1.A.435). Video recording in HD still causing reboot after a variable amount of time. Some other random reboots happen and the overheating problem happen sometimes as well. I would definitely say it is a hardware problem then. I will try to give the phone to an authorized maintenance center.
The X10 is now having maintenance. Let's just hope they won't waste my time trying upgrades or SW repairs.

locked bootloader with root working have a question

I have a rogers sxs and followed the guide to root my sxs with a locked bootloader and after a few tries was successful.
now i reset my sxs before i started, i'm using the LT26_6.1.A.0.452_Generic_CH_1257-3740_ ftf as my daily.
after the update my sxs's battery lasted about 3 hours and has slowly been getting better, but still seems bad. can't get a full day in (8 hours).
also once a day the phone just reboots, i go to open or swipe and it hangs then it just reboots.
has anyone else had issue's like this? could it be the root procedure or an ics issue or both?
thanks for any tips.
So I take it no one else has issue's like mine?

I have the same phone/carrier and firmware, no issues at all. Can get a solid days worth of use before charge, I run a very light setup on my device; not sure if that has a huge difference.
Thanks.

I am on ICS, used the generic CH that was made available in the first thread on rooting ICS.
Thanks.
I was reading about cwm and maybe I will use it to flash a rom and see if it gets any better.
I'm tired off random apps hanging then android asking if I want to wait or force close.
Thanks for the replies.

Ok I have time this weekend to fix my phone but I would like some advice.
Do you think I should start all over again or can I just reset and reflash ics?
If I only flash the same ics will I loose root?
Thanks for any input.

Ok i updated my sxs with the new guide and it seems more stable than last time. no force closes or wait screens.
now i have a few questions and or advise?
what version or what busybox are you using?
what cpu app are you using to underclock the cpu? i was using set cpu.
what if any roms are you guys using?
thanks

Random Kernel crash anyone?

So was just sitting at my kitchen table playing a good ole hand of cards and decide to take my phone out of my pocket and :0, Kernel crash!
Asked me if I wanted to reboot either to recovery, download, or FASTBOOT. Rebooted fast boot and everything all good.
Scared the hell out of me, just wondering what would cause this??
I'm running stock 4.0.4 rooted with an unlocked boot loader via Free Gee
Sent from the VERY underestimated LG Optimus G
I'm not sure what caused it, but when I first got the phone it happened to me several times a day right after I rooted/unlocked it. Not sure what I did to fix it, but it gradually happened to me less and less, to where I now can't remember the last time it did. At least two weeks, I'd say, since my last kernel crash. Try using Sk8erwitskil's kernel, and maybe a different ROM. I know it still did it to me fairly frequently after I flashed the Sk8er kernel, and The Base .7.3 ROM, but like I said, it tapered off.
Happened to me once when I UV'd too much. It's possible that your phone can't handle the -100 UV in sk8's kernel.

Yeah I'm wondering if its because I'm still using the stock ROM with an unlocked boot loader but I haven't experienced the issue yet (knock on wood). I want to try a new custom ROM for this phone but the development is a little dry right now and the Korean JB Port is just not quite a daily driver yet for me
Sent from the VERY underestimated LG Optimus G
Like I said, it happened to me every few hours right after I rooted and unlocked. That was with the stock ROM and kernel. I might have had a issue with my unlock or maybe some kind of odd software conflict, but it hasn't happened again in quite a while.
I had a random kernel crash while using the new Canadian JB Rom. First one, actually.

My severe problem with Amaze 4G, all the roms I install act faulty.

Hi,
I'm having severe problems with my Amaze for weeks now. Thing is, I can't find a ROM that just works for me, nothing fancy or special, I just want to flash something and use my phone rather than flashing ROM every few hours.
First let me tell you about my phone:
It's T-Mobile Amaze 4G, S-ON and with 4EXT recovery.
My problems are that:
1) After each phone restart, most of the times phone doesn't find my SD card and as I store my apps on it, I have to restart again and again and hope for a time that it does find my SD card.
2) Whenever I tweak a ROM, even a bit, and I don't mean hack, just using the option the ROM itself provides like tweaks that Revolution does, phone crashes constantly and I have to reflash.
3) I have severe problems with ICS ROMs that seem stable and people are saying that they use regularly.
4) Even if I don't try to customize a ROM, phone gets into weird problems like crashes at startup or stuck at htc logo that leaves me into reflash.
I got this phone from my brother who was using 2.x ROMs on it but I wanted Nexus look so I upgraded to ICS with ph185.img and then been trying almost all ROMs but I'm yet to find something that I can safely put my sim card in it without worrying that it might miss a call or drain battery fast.
I first wanted Nexus pure android look but I now fell back to htc stock look and been trying all other ROMs, even though downloading ROMs is very expensive. Maybe I have to S-OFF and fall back to 2.3.4 ROMs.
Any help is highly appreciated as I'm so desperate and can't afford another phone for at least a year.
Thanks.

Tried that already.
Any other solution?
Right before I make this topic, I was happy with Revolution HD but then after like 10 days it got into a very unstable phase in which that it would automatically restart itself constantly even without me touching it.
