For some reason my back button (at the left of home button) on SK17i (with firmware .58) did not work until I lock and re-unlock the screen.
Anyone got the same problem?
Or any solution?
Thanks
- - - EDIT #1 - - -
now trying this method
Code:
http://talk.sonyericsson.com/thread/25329
hope its works
- - - EDIT #2 - - -
now I have updated into .62 via SEUS and yes, the problem still there if you press the back button repeatedly BUT not as major as in .58
and no, I don't think this problem (or bug) is solved until kernel 2.3.5 so don't lock this thread and feel free to give me (or the other user) solution for this problem
This has happend to me sometimes, rebooting the device solves the problem for me, but it's quite annoying. Let's hope SE fixes this issue in the next updates.

you don't have to reboot, just lock and re-unlock the screen to quick fix this issue
but still, its quite annoying
now I am on firmware .62 and find the problem reduce a bit (at least not as bad as before)
Never had this problem with mine but have you tried reseting the phone? Or just try take the phone back to the shop and complain?
So it may not be a hardware issue?And we could hope for SE's fix...
Seems this annoying problem pops up on stock(.42,.58,.62) and custom(CM7.2) Rom .
I suggest that you try to run a software repair on the phone using PC Companion, and if the problem is still there you should have the phone examined at a repair center. For info about repair centers contact your local support team.

hi all.
i have a problem on my xperia mini pro.
i dont know whats wrong.
when i lock my phone, and i want to turn it on back, it is turn off and suddenly the S.E logo appears.
seems like rebooting back.
sometimes when i make the screen timeout for 30minutes, it will also turn off by itself and restart back by itself. sometimes it goes off and no reboot back.
i have search on XDA and found that few problems like mine.
i try few solution like take out the battery, uninstall apps which maybe make my phone turn off.
i also reflash my phone to 2.3.3 and also reflash back to 2.3.4. it just goes the same. my warranty have void as i have unlock my bootloader.
i just dont root my phone yet as i think rooting my phone doesnt help this problem.
someone can help me? i really miss my phone like the old days to tweeting and facebooking without any turn off and reboot by its own.
Did you try a factory reset? This may fix your problem. But rooting could possible help.....
Please hit the thank you button if i helped!

Does it make any difference if you start the phone with the charger plugged into it?
...or even without the SIM card or SD card? Any difference at all?

I bought the phone over from bobo. And yes it does make a difference.
This problem does not occur whenever the phone is plugged in. However while running on battery, if I leave it be and once it goes into standby, it would not turn on again.
Seems to me it went into sleep of death.
At the moment, I have no idea how to fix it. But I've found a workaround by keeping the CPU on when the display is off by using wake_lock. However this workaround is a little battery consuming.

bro i have this problem before, what im doing before was playing music on mute for it not to turn off NOT until 0.62 FW came out and the problem was solved, it doesnt turn off on stock 0.62 fw and stock 2.3.4 but the screen when locked automatically turns on and off multiple times, its annoying..really so i decided to unlock my bootloader, flashed rooted 0.62 FW from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1440161, turning on and off phone and screen solved, flashed its respective ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1373435, and now my phone is so stable and having no more problem.
i think the only problem i noticed just now is the back button (its not really a button) and the option button's light is turning off and on while screen is on. but thats better than your phone turns on and off or your screen.
i hope this helps.

I've done this too. Flashed the same kernel, and the same ROM as you did. But the problem still prevails in my phone. I still have to keep control of wake_lock to prevent CPU from sleeping while the display is off.
Btw, when I flashed the kernel, under my "About" in the settings, it still says .58 instead of .62.

you mean in the Settings>About Phone> in the build number it should have HYBROM V9 by boof not the kernel name like .58 or .62 if you flashed the kernel and rom correctly.
disable lockscreen
Try to disable your lockscreen in the settings menu. Maybe that helps
My phone have the very same problem.
Any good new?
I've tried the factory restore. Didn't solve the problem.
so....no solutions yet!!??!

Hi,
I flashed my x10a with latest flashtool with 2.3.3 firmware. The flash was successful, but after the flash it's screen touch is no more working. I thought that there might be problem with the firmware that I used, so I again checked with many firmwares, but none of them solved my problem.
Then I tried to repair my phone with Pc Companion, it says that no software is available for my phone. Also I tried with Sony Update Service, this also said no software for my phone.
I am tired now. I tried all the methods that I found on internet. Isn't there any solution for me now? I know that It's not a hardware problem because before flashing its screen was working without any problem. I know you guys here are expert in android problems. So hope you will help me in this problem? I am from Nepal. There isn't sony service in my country. What is the solution for me? I need your help....:crying:
could you tell us exactly what you flashed with flashtool ?
and what i understand is that your phone DOES work it fully loads up but not responding to your touchscreen ?
and any other info on what you might have flashed ?
it could just be freezing (so it seems like its not responding)

Bro thanks for your reply, I flashed X10a_2.1update1_r2.1.A.0.435_Generic.ftf, X10a_3.0.1.G.0.75_AMERICA-US GENERIC 1233-8200.ftf, and few more firmwares like this. I used flashtool-0.8.0.0-windows_2.exe to flash the phone. Ya you are right my phone DOES work it fully loads up but not responding to my touchscreen
Keys are working well, volume keys, back keys all are working. After flashing finished option comes to choose the language and I can't go ahead than that because screen touch will not work.

did your touchscreen worked on 2.1 firmware
as im googling for this problem EVRYTHING leads to software problems.
for example this post
"''The touchscreen on my phone stopped working. Everything else is working (buttons), except the touchscreen. It shows everything but I can't do nothing with my finger.. I've had this problem before, but then it could be fixed by simply taking out the battery and rebooting that way. This time that didn't work. First thing that I tried was factory resetting the phone, clearing all caches, etc. Touchscreen still not working after booting. Then I flashed SonyStyle V1.1 touchscreen still not working. Then I 'repaired' it with SEUS, touchscreen was working fine.""
so the best thing you can do right now is use SEUS to get back to original firmware.

I've got another problem with camera after update to 6.2.A.1.100...
When I use Quick Shot/Launch camera - sometimes i get a message 'Error! Camera not available'
The problem is ONLY when I use Quick Shot/Launch on locked screen. When I normaly turn on camera, by using 'Camera' app from menu, everything is ok:
img19.imageshack.us/img19/5672/screenshot2013061315454.png
(copy and paste it to web browser)
I've tried repair phone by PCC but it does't fix my problem (or install fw Generic World or Central Europe).
On ICS, Quick Shot works perfect, but on 6.2.A.0.400 I've got another problem (black screen / camera FC)
Can you escalade my problem (try to several (maybe 5-6 times) Quick Shot/Launch the camera on locked screen and next lock screen)??
I tested Quick launch in Safe mode. And what?
Everything works perfect!
There must be a process which can't run the camera in quick launch (I have not installed anything apps using camera).
Which one?

I tried to clear data, reinstall software many times... anything doesn't fix my problem.
Finally I found the solution - I have installed JB MoonBreaker v3 (test) from this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42565512&postcount=836
Everything was ok, so I thought 'I have a warranty to my phone so I have to back to stock firmware .100'
After flashing the firmware by flashtool, resetting to the factory defaults, problems came back
I'm sure that is not a hardware problem - only software must have a bug.

my last opinion for your issue maybe you can try to re-download ftf file fw 100, because on me camera work fine..

What do you mean, saying 'camera'?? When you choose 'Camera' from menu?? Or choosing Quick Launch on locked screen?
Camera - from menu always works fine for me, but Quick Launch - not always...
I downloaded .100 Generic World and problem still persists (earlier I had .100 CE).
Hi all,
EDIT: IT SEEMED TO HAVE FIXED ITSELF - MODS Please delete thread!
I have had my Sony Xperia Z Ultra for a while now and experienced many of the bugs read on this forum.
When I saw the .532 update for the HK version I immediately went on to flash it officially via the Update Service (mine is the HK version).
It updated fine without but I couldn't turn the screen off fully and the backlight stayed on continously draining the battery very rapidly.
So I decided to restore the device fully via the Official update service and this when the problem occured.
It started updating without problems but after a few seconds it just stopped and told me there was an error.
I tried it a few times to no avail and get similar result with the flashtool.
If anyone has any suggestions fire away.
Also, BL not unlocked, not root and neither custom recovery.
Many thanks

Hello ,
My Sony Z2 phone was running fine, but since yesterday when someone calls me the phone rings normally but the screen freezes. It doesn't show who is calling, just rings and vibrates. The 3 buttons at the bottom of phone (Back - Home - App log) disappear, the top bar freezes as i can't drag it down, but i can still run any application i want on the desktop.
I tried restarting the phone, but it is still doing the same thing. I have also opened it in safe mode but it did the same thing. Any idea what may be causing this ?

Probably a odd bug
Use flashtool to flash a FTF (exclude data)
This should fix ANY issues your having on the firmware side

I recoment you try repairing your device via Sony PC companion. this will format your internal storage trying to fix your device this way.
if the problem persists then call sony customer support
if you want to try the flashtool method (which doesnt wipe your storage)
you can get flashtool from here
http://www.flashtool.net
and a FTF from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2759934
select the flash/lightning icon at the top left
click flashmode
select the FTF you downloaded (exclude data)
wait for it to finish prepparing
power off your device
when prompted plug your device into your PC holding volume down

Settings-apps-all,scroll down to incall ui,enable it.
If the above does not help,you might need to enable notifications for incall ui from settings-personalization-manage notifications.
