i have a problem with the menu key light, it does not turn on ( back key is ok).
anyone has the same problem or a fix??
thanks
before this are u using other launcher application or stock launcer?
i think the sony ericsson launcer from nerodroid v3
when the button start to not functioning?
When I slided the keyboard out the light went greenish and then turned off and from then never came onagain.. I just noticed now that when I close the keyboard the light blings and turns off but the brightness is very low , you nearly notice it!!! Do you have any solution;
i dont have any idea.. maybe hardware problem??
Thats what I thought!!!!
if you still have warranty u can send the phone to center or maybe u try reflash to stock rom?
i tried flashing stock rom but it was the same. and i dont think i have warranty because i live in australia and i bought the phone from ebay which i think it was from china, i dont know if the warranty is valid when you buy from other countrys!!!!!

that was terrible thing and i dont have any idea to solve this problem..
repair using PC companion and install both kernel and ROM, if that doesn't works, calibrate touch drivers using ST15i overheat fix method

I have been suffering with this problem Very Dhambad!!!
someone please help me to fix my phone!!!
This is the problem (youtube.com/watch?v=J6LEKZx1SEs) Xperia mini Overheats and then back and menu key Activating itself and i can't do f** thing on it
i have been trying to do following things
1. Find Sony Ericsson Service center (No Service SE service center in my country)
2. trying to cool my phone (yes it worked, so bad they haven't built a mobile fan for that!)
3. Curse SE for building ST15i
4. deactivating back menu key and using virtual keypad app (this works well until i find out the screen gating unresponsive i cannot delete a wiget when overhets)
i think driver update will help to solve this issue
i have been keeping eye on this (talk.sonyericsson.com/thread/23778?start=720&tstart=0) webblog (finaly i am not the onle one )
as per advice of ikko17, you need to go to the nearest SE Service Center, and look for a technician (not the attendant) and ask if Calibration tools/fix for xperia mini is available then let them do the calibration if they have,.
I had same isuue with my st15, I gave it to service center, after 3 days they gave my phone back and said that the have caliberated it, but after 2 hours of use, the buttons reactivated again, so I gave it to servica center again and they said that they cant cant fix it and they gave me a replacement certificate and they kept my phone, I gave that certificate to the store I bought the phone from and they gave me a new ST15i after 2 days
so ask the service center guy for replacement certificate
Well thanks guys, but the thing is...
1.I am in sri lanka i have found no sony ericsson service center in my country.
2.My phone have no warranty and (yes my bad, i had to think twice before i buy this dahm **** of peace on Stoke Seller)
3 My phone is Rooted and soon i am going to try CM7 ROM onit
This is i need to know form you
1.Will CM7 OR other Custom ROM have different drivers to the Menu and back touch(maybe heat) keypad
2.Or other way?
I've read on gsmarena that updating to 2.3.4 removes this issue, did you updated it, which version are you running?
YES! First Thing i done is that!!!
Build Number is 4.0.2.A.0.42

then I'm afraid you wont get any solution other than searching for some service center, seding it to some other company for repair or contacting SE if you're able to caliberate it yourself
I have been using my mini for almost 3 months now. And it didn't gave me that menu and back key malfunction. Although, I think I've managed to recreate the problem by charging the unit, turning on 3G, WiFi, browsing and then played a game such as blood&glory. Within the less than 10minutes, the phone heated up and soon after the back keys kept on clicking. Turned the unit off by removing the battery and then placed the battery at the aircon to cool it off. After it cooled off along with the phone, put it back in and turn it on. It works normally again.
My question is, what were you exactly doing before the problem occurred?
Sent from my ST15i using XDA App
I Think it is a Manufacturing Driver Calibrate problem.
But, I already have tried that, you know what they told me?
"Android what android?" something like that thy do know about Phone Hardware but not software(Android) while i can solve this by myself(As SE say they simply recaliberate Device) I need those recaliberation steps, Please If you are able to get those for me it is a Big Help!!!
This phone needs to be handed in at a repair centre to be either repaired or exchanged.
Now, since you don't have your warranty left this will be a cost issue as it no longer can be treated at no cost for you.
If you want to get in touch with a repair centre you should either ask your dealer for help or call/email the local support team.
The support for Sri Lanka is handled from Philippines.

You can email them on [email protected] too.

hi all, dennis from germany here.
i contact SE per mail with this problem and they know the problem. i got after 3h a mail back and they told me to use the pick up and return service to solve the problem. its an hardware issue and it can only repair by recalibrate the sense. got it back after 3 days and no problem so far.
greetings from germany
sry for bad english =)
Do you know if there is a fix that can be done, I heard somebody had their phone taken the se service and they updated the SK15i to .62 and then added a patch for the heat sensitivity so it dont happen again and they guy reported that it never happened again?.
Anyway we can do this at home, like we root devices? I'm wondering if we can get access to this patch?
Thanks

My Device is x10 mini pro (u20i).. All of a sudden the touch screen stopped responding... I thought something it wrong with the ROM. So i tried full wipe.. Then I changed it.. In the end went back to stock using SEUS.. But it's no use. There's no sony customer care in my city. So getting help from them is a no go... What can I do? Can anyone help me???? Plz I bought my phone last October. I don't wanna loss hope with it.........
Mate the flex which goes from motherboard to the display is damanged. Get it replaced from the Sony service center. Do not give it to private dealers as they tend to spoil it.hope that helps you

HI mate, maybe it is too late to reply for this but, i think u can try to repair it using pc companion.. I experience the same problem like u before, but it was because i used a wrong kernel. I mean, That kernel is not suitable for the ROM that im using at that time. So i just flash stock kernel n it work like before.
I tried it... I'm running stock now... Used SEUS... But no use.. I think I've send it to Sony now. My phone started acting weird after it fell on the floor.....
ahh. yeah mate, it seem to be a hardware problem, maybe. my phone also fell down for couple of time. the back cover and the battery ripped out the phone, but luckily, nothing wrong happen. when i put all the thing back and turn it on, i check evreything, camera, signal, keypad, wifi connection etc and luckily all things in good condition..

man i'm sorry , but you have bricked Screen !
Hi
What do you want to do?
If your screen is broken, you could "do" something via ADB, but not so much.
PERHAPS you could delete your lockscreen (you can do, search), make the device boot wisthout sim cadr (=no pin), install (adb install) something like airdroid or similar (i do not know such apps), launch it (inside ADB with "am" + something) and hope you can "use" your phone via PC.
Ok looks more like SCI-FI!

My friend has a Mini Pro with broken lcd , he broke it 6 months back but he still manages to use till now with out any problem....
try flashing custom kernel and a new ROM , If that doesnt help.... u have to go to customer care..
Re:all
thanks all, but i'm sure that lcd is fine (maybe), because, before that (suddenly restart) my phone is allready fine with all function normally (although my lcd is broken but touch function is normal). until restart happen, my phone was not start up again. in lcd i see blank, no logo and anything. just vibrate 2 times. in that condition i think, i can make a call for test but the warning from sim operator said that my phone was turn off.

for Publiuss, i hope you can give me tutorial how to controllling my phone via pc in condition my phone like now.
maybe use the usb cable to know that my phone (until flashing rom or kernel) was working or not, and if i can getting that, means, my phone trouble in lcd.
i will keep out for cust care if i can solving my trouble by self, because maybe if i have to go cust care they will charge me cost not much different with new buying this phone.

Well Man i say is not software problem. If you flash stock firms, custom roms and kernels you manipulate all the system if the phone dont turn on is a ardware problem. Search a tuto how to open you phone and see if dont have nothing wrong. The conection screen "flex".you see all ok buy a new screen on eBay. Try. After all that phone is very important for you.
Press thnks if I helped to your mind.

actually i had the exact same (or similar) problem after 6 months of ownership.
1) broken screen, dropped phone several times, everything still works no trouble
2) random restarts
3) boot problems, restarts got more frequent
4) can no longer boot, only a lit black screen, no SE logo
Does that sound familiar?
I understand it could be a HW problem but the only thing I can think of is the digitaliser/screen. Try to replace that and see far you get, you can find a replacement cheap from ebay (they come free with tools) and also disassembly guides are on ifixit
please post your results!!
Mini Pro screen is really vulnerable, so even a little defect can cause further issues.
I had a Mini Pro which its screen cracked when I dropped it, it was fully functionable for weeks then one Friday touchscreen didn't response anymore.
I visited a technician and paid about 4,000 Philippine pesos to get it fixed.
Second defect happened after I came back to Korea, when I dropped it toward the wooden frame of my bed.
At first the screen had several purple horizontal lines, then soon it completely blacked out.
It still exists inside my drawer, and since I loved its keypad, I recently ordered $20 screen set in Aliexpress.
I have a question: Did you fix your device after writing this thread? Was the problem related only with the screen?

i know it is hardware issue. But wihch part i am not sure.
This issue is common actualy. Are there any body had this issue and give service phone ?
Which part is changed by service mainboard? sensors? touch screen ...etc
please someone give answer.
I will buy the required part and change myself.
I dont wanna give extra money to service.
I think there is no cheap solution .
i have to used to use my phone with this problem.
This is not necessarily a hardware problem, your video shows you have pattern lock. Change the lock back to slide and reboot phone, maybe this will help, if not connect the phone to PC and run update service in PC companion, follow instructions and reinstall the software (backup all data before this). By the way you will not get any parts in the market so if it's a hardware problem you will ultimately have to go to Sony service centre.
hello friends. this is my first post because i got a problem with my xperia mini pro.
i have to tell you it from the beginning because i think it is important to understand where is the problem. it was about some moths ago when i had problems when my phone was in standby and someone called me, it happened sometimes that my touch screen didnt responded and i couldnt take that call and had to restart phone. after restart it was ok. it didnt happen so often but with tim (i think another month) i happened maybe once every day. and maybe a month after that i first got stuck during i was doing something in my phone - not in locked state. sometimes didnt helped even one restart so i had to remove battery for a while but after that it was fine. at least for a while. i think that problems with touchscreen (or maybe better with digitizer) happened almost every day. i tried also reflash some custom rom i used before but it didnt help. so it got into state when touchscreen stopped working and i was very happy when it started to work for a while. it happed sometimes after factory reset in android service menu and once after many times reflash of rom and kernel but only till next restart. i also locked bootloader and gave there stock rom and many times reflashed stock rom but nothing helped now.
Lets say i also tried some advices in that that tutorial about 10 different way to repair bricked touchscreen. but i am not sure if it is actually hardware or software issue. it is very important to aim my effort. i dont know if i shouldnt buy some whole touchscreen+lcdf or just digitizer for sk17i on ebay or on the other hand try to solve software issue and reflash, restart, reset bricked touchscreen.
i dont have much experience like some guy in mobile phone service. in my mobile service they told me it is hardware issue and they will repaire it but it is very expensive from them. but i dont believe that guys at all so i write here.
My phone is after the warranty so i got an idea to buy sopme used sk17i with a warranty, change display with mine and give it into the mobile phone service where they will change the touchscreen for free and i could sell that both phones after that. i dont want that xperia anymore. but this can only work if it a hardware problem
so what do you think guys?
thanks for your advices

If you did a clean flash with stock rom & that didn't helped than its an hardware problem!
But you are luck if your touch is miss calibrated or its an overheating issue.
Do your mini's soft buttons starts pressing itself?

[solved]
i solved it with new lcd + digitizer from ebay and made some manual assembly. my phone now works great, so i suppose problem was caused by hardware
