I tried to set the screen timeout to whatever interval is there, 15sec and up, none of my trials worked to get my screen to turn off and lock which is killing my battery at no time
only when i press the lock buttondoes it turn off.. but when i have the mobile in my pocket it usually press some button accidentally and that will keep the screen on :s
i searched the net to see if anybody else have had this problem but found nothing, and not even the applications on the market made this screen timeout work!! So i wonder if anyone have any idea about how such a problem could be fixed or what caused it?

when this happens to me, i just reboot my phone and screen timeout returns to work
you should replace your phone by claiming warranty for malfunction
It happns to me only when i use iphone lock or finger scanner and keep off the auto lock after booting.
just check it out or use simply lockscreen or goto.

OK, a quick test for you. Please follow these steps:
- go to Menu - Settings - Applications - Development
- check if "Stay awake" is enabled.
If it is, then that's why your phone behaves like that, because you requested it. Uncheck that option - problem solved and you should facepalm yourself for sending the phone in service over this trivial issue.
If not, then you indeed have a problem and you should demand some explanations at the service center.

actually it is already disabled by default and it is the cause of the problem. Maybe the board they replace is defective. I noticed that most of the people having the same problem as mine are those people who have new board. Ill bring this back tomorow. it sucks! i have to wait for another week!
mass storage doesnt work for me too. have to bring this back again tomorow.
same issue to me...
it just got back from service center with a brand new logic card.. and now it does not work screen time out neither usb functionalities =_=
done many test (different computers and s.o., several reboots... nothing worked)

i suggest u return it back immediately. I already return mine a while ago. it seems most of their replacement boards are defective. So its best to be very cautious in modding the phone if u wish not to have a defective board and save ur self the hassle of going back in forth at their center.
There is meant to be a remedy.
The replacement boards require a hard factory reset(see user manual for process) followed by a power down and battery removal then power up, once in users unit.
I am yet to test this out and will give an update next week.
hello
i have xperia mini............during incoming calls and when iam trying to take the phone from my pocket .......trying to answer but no response from the phone instead the keyboard is appearing and finally i miss the call.............plz help
seems like overheating and capacitive buttons problem, please dont use that font.
Try running a update or if your have the latest version a software repair on the phone using PC Companion.
If this problem still remains I would suggest that you contact your local support team to have the phone examined at a repair center.

I have the same problem. It seem that is has something to do with the proximity sensor. It occurs only when the phone is in my pocket.
I tried to update it, it didn't work. Then i took it back to the seller (T-Mobile). They did a software update with a special software from SE. It solves the overheat issue, but not this.
The problem is still present, but it occurs not so often.
Another thing, if the phone is in my pocket with headset connected, if i accept an incoming call with the headset button, it turns the screen on in my pocket. During the call i press random things on my screen. This is also a problem, the screen should be turned off while the phone is in my pocket.
Perhaps this forum could help.
I received a used Xperia Mini [ST15i] as a xmas present from my bro-in-law.
It has Android 2.3.4 – Kernel is 2.6.32.9-perf
Build is 4.0.2.A.0.62
It had a lot of his apps on and foolishly I went into application manager and deleted a whole lot of stuff when suddenly the phone went into what I originally thought was a Haptic Feedback loop.
I was unable to power off so I had to remove Battery and restart from there. The loop starts slowly with one or two vibrates every 10 seconds then it becomes rapid and settles into an almost clock like rythm, two vibration per second.
I tried to get into settings to turn off the haptic feedback indicator but it seems like for each vibration [or tick] , an invisible ‘enter’ has been pressed somewhere on the screen so the only way to get into settings is to press the ‘back’ button and at the same time press the ‘settings’ button to interrupt the loop and after 5 vibrations or so I am able get into the ‘settings’ menu and un-tick the Haptic indicator. The phone goes quiet but the ‘clock’ or what ever process is looping continues. It completely blocks me out from doing anything unless I can interrupt it via pressing the back button.
To try get over this, I have reloaded the complete 150mb software via sony update. Afterward the problem still persisted. I have done both factory resets and still the loop process continues.
Have I screwed the Kernel? Any help or advice would be great. The phone is locked .
Sorry for you but it's an hardware problem (related to touchscreen). You have to send you mobile back to Sony.
Mine had the same issue out of the box and I had it replaced. The guy in the store told me it affects some batches (don't know which ones).

Thanks Soda. Just chatted with Sony. Luckily phone is still under warranty. Cheers
I'm happy to help
So I was just playing my favorite game ingress one day and suddenly my phone went into a boot loop. I took out the battery and put it in but It would just not start properly then I searched on the internet that y was it happening it said that your power button has become sensitive now samsung service centers are saying u need to get the motherboard changed but I know that replacing the button will make it fine ( right now I took thw button out I mean the button which we press to turn off the screen but the motherboard button is still there.) So is there anything which I can do myself to repair it at home itself because samsung service centers are sayibg tha there is a problem in the software.
