Hi! I've an issue on my xperia mini pro.
More than often the back key (which is a touch sensitive key) stops working.
I can't resolve this definitely. Things I tried:
- reset settings (does not work)
- total reset (works for a couple of weeks than the problem comes back)
- killing services with android system cleaner (works sometimes, I see that maybe is related to the process "Home of sony ericsson" -the stock launcher v2.1.x)
- switched to go launcher ex (worked for a full day, the problem came back)
- prevent various apps and services to startup (did not work)
- remove various apps and services (didn't work)
- update firmware to 2.3.4 (only solved the problem of the black screen that won't unlock)
what in the world should I do to fix this tedious issue?
tnx for answers, forgive me for my spaghetti english

Must i root the phone before installing it?
tnx

Rom is pre-rooted, you will need to unlock bootloader and flash a different kernel.
Hardware keyboard will not be working, you'll need to get the files from the CM7 stable build for this.
I would not endorse going down this route unless you want to be running CM7 anyway, and there is no guarantee it will help.

thank you! You're right: I don't want to flash the previous version just to set up cm7! Not cause I don't like it but because with the previous version of the stock kernel I was having a much more big problem: the black screen (some others had the same problem).
Maybe I'll go on this way, waiting for ICS hoping it'll fix up everything!
btw, how's my english?
Maybe u r sweating or ur finger is kinda wet when u press it,our phone is unresponsive to fluid,except u buy an active
xperia mini pro! not active!
that would be true for the settings key too!
I think is a sort of bug of the rom... I'm getting it very often! damn!
I noticed that sometimes the screen light "shakes", like a vibration, and so the lights behing the touch keys...
the light sensor reacts to reflections of the light and shadows I make when using the phone. This is a minor thing but the back key sometimes makes really hard using the phone!

Hey guys, I've come across an annoying problem with my X10. While using the phone, the 3 main buttons and camera button (all of the buttons sharing the ribbon along the bottom of the LCD) will stop responding. At first I thought I had broken the connector or something, but after a restart the buttons respond again. This is happening more frequently and is pretty annoying, any ideas for a fix?
I'm using Trips 1.7 Miui rom and haven't tested with SE's rom

Maybe app related on that 1.7 ROM. Try stock ROM to see what happens.

I'd suggest the same thing.
But also clear your (Dalvik-) Cache, Data and everything.
Also, maybe it's kernel-related. What kernel+baseband are you using?
Think it might just be a dodgy connection, seems to be ok atm
Baseband is Trip's 67, kernel 2.6.29
Did you tried pressing the buttons??
they are not capacitive like HTC and LG...!!
Whenever i charge my phone, display remains on unless i press the power button to put it on stand by..in 2.3 there are so many applicsations running in the background which makes it a bit laggy..and flash doesnt work even in vignette..
Flash issue in vignette is related application, and i hear vignette dev are on their way to fix it.
Are you on stock rom? Rooted or not?
You can remove some bloatware and useless apps from SE with Titanium backup if your phone was rooted.

I've a similar issue on my GF's phone, almost same problem, the light won't turn off for a long time unless pressing power button but her phone is an x8.
But this shouldn't happen on the stock 2.3.3.
i am using the stock 2.3, 2.3 is nice but i sort of miss 2.1, it was much faster..

Go to Settings - Applications - Development and uncheck "stay awake"

about slowness problem : i highly recommend you to root your phone. flash stock DooMKernel then flash WB ROM. it may take some time but your phone will be superfast.
Xrecovery will be installed with the kernel. and the three thread are in development forum. and don't be afraid. WB ROM is very stable without any bug.and totally a stock Rom.

Hi!
I'm using a recent CM9 nightly with default kernel.
I would like to have your opinion : about 3/4 a week my SGS3 is "stuck" when it's locked : impossible to wake up using home or power button, the screen stays black.
The weird thing is that when it happens, the phone is not frozen : I can still hear music on the headphones and control volume using Up/Down buttons.
Sometimes I let it stuck and receive a notification some minutes later and the phone magically can be unlocked again, screen wakes when I push Home button.
Very weird and annoying when that happens.
My question is : what do you think it could be? An app? How can I debug this and know what prevents the screen to wake up when that happens?
Thanks.
Wipe and reflash the rom

Thanks, but is that the kind of easy answer you all tell when you don't know the exact answer?
When I installed CM9 a week ago, I did do a full wipe...
I think that next time it happens, I will try to connect my SGS3 on USB and do a adb logcat, maybe I'll find useful information.
Have you tinkered with any of the could settings or voltage settings?

Having a similar problem to yourself. Installed CM9 rom had a play and then went back to omegaV9 performing a full wipe using the instructions on this site before reflashing.
Since then when my phone is locked screen off then i unlock either via swipe or using security code (digits ) it looks like the phone unlocks but sort of does a warm boot with black screen for a few seconds with the two buttons down the bottom light up.
When it starts it looks like all the apps have stopped and are restarting again.
I re flashed again omega 9 thought i had it sorted but it started playing up again this evening.
If anyone has any ideas please post..
Hi, I'm a newbie here. I also exprience this problem with my samsung GT-i9300. I hoping to see a fix with this problem.
This forum has been so helpful to new android users. Thank you guys.

hey man, first make sure if the rom only opens the keyboard lights in dark places because some roms make that happen to save battery.
Second, a trick that i use and find out myself ( so i don't know if it will work for you ) without any app is this: with screen blocked, slide the keyboard, the lights will open, after that the lights will always open when you slide the keyboard .
If i helped press thanks , good luck .

It doesn't work. It doesn't on even in the dark or night..But thanks for answering.
Other solutions??
yes yes yes, you should take care of your flex. just here on a thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1935124
And about the lights, on some rom the KbFix isn't working. try it to MiniCM10 and the lights will work properly without the KbFix.
Well, i think that you could try: search files ( in the winrar of the rom ) in the other roms that are working and put those files on your rom, if that doesn't work you only have 2 choices: a Fix ( but like you say, it's more battery draining ), or install a rom that is working on that, stark v3 is working on that so give it a try .

It`s true. Firstly my proxymity sensor stoped working. After that display was in 2 partions. Status-bar was at the bottom of the screen. Also my phone was unable to boot. It was always rebooting at the start. after disassembly i saw broken flex cable. now i am waiting for replacement parts.
hey everyone
i am a noob. i know how to flash roms,kernels,code in the emulators and all but im not that much into the stuff coz i dont know that much
i am in desperate need of help here
my xperia mini pro has been facing a problem since sometime now
its display does not bbot up. the backlight works fine and so does everything else like the vibration and the led. everytime i start the phone there is the familiar vibration of startup my backlit keys also start. after that the screen is turned on but there is no text on it. the sony boot animation does not appear and neither does anything else. i have searched xda but i didnt find any thread like this. yes, there were a few which resembled it but none like this
it started a few months back when the screen would be working fine and sometimes when i would try and wake it up it wouldnt. i would just press the lock button a few more times and it would unlock after that the screen would come on. this started becoming more frequent and later on i had to reboot it . now my phone boots up but the screen is black. the backlight of the screen does turn on but nothing else appears. no boot animation, no text, no lockscreen nothing at all.
i havent thrown this phone on the ground and it hasnt fallen in water. i dont know what to do. please help !!!
