Hi Friends i have noticed that my SK17 A.K.A Mini pro acts weirdly from the day of purchase.
Even when i lock my screen by pressing power button,I see the LCB lighting up and showing me the lock screen and again turning off.
This happens frequently with few seconds or few min gap.
I suspect this would drain battery than usual.Please help me fix it.
visit the best Sony service center in your city, they'll be able to tell you something substantial.. or get you a replacement.
Just reinstall/repair software with Sony PC companion, worked with me!

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..

I have bought xps about 20 days ago. Yesterday and today , while I was surfing the net via wifi (both times) , my phone suddenly switched off and made a restart. Did anyone experience a problem like this ?? It never happened before.
Not had that problem - infact I was just thinking today that I haven't restarted my phone for a week.. and it still feels super smooth... which I've never experienced before on Android!
Never had a sudden restart, lag or unresponsive device. Seems that you are the only one here with such a luck...
Is this a reason for returning my phone to Sony? Is sony obliged to replace my device with another one?

Unfortunately sudden restarts are very common in the android world. I think 80% of the android smartphones had at least once this problem. You should wait to see if it happen again and if so try a hard reset or a software repair using sony pc companion. If it will become a common problem even with other users sony with a future update it will fix the problem. What software version do you have .62 .67 or .73 ?
Hi,
If you have this reboot issue
Nothing can resolve this!
But,just in case
Do not use your phone with charger pluged in for long time!
This kill your battery very quick!
And cause autoreboot
And be careful with internet!
If you flash some FW or rom or kernel
Made a full charge before flash
Ciao
I've had this happen to me on my Xperia S twice already while using it.
It also randomly restarts while in standby once in awhile.
Not sure what's causing this. Any suggestions?

If it's not happening very offen like twice a day, the only thing you can do is wait for the 4.0 update, because If you look in all the other android smartphone forums you will see that every android model have this issue from time to time. I think is something like the Windows OS bluescreen...very very difficult for normal users to detect where is the problem. I think with the 4.0 update the problem it will be solved. But if the Xperia S become unstable and randomly rebooting every day try a software repair with pc companion and if this is not solving the problem just go to a Sony support center and give them the smartphone for replacement.
I have the reboot twice
Refresh ROM good!
Hi, my phone also has random restarts. It becomes sluggish and unresponsive, then just restarts.
I think mine has done it once or twice when just in standby mode as well.
I actually got my first Xperia S replaced as it had this problem, but the replacement is also suffering from it.
Seen a few other people saying they have the same over on the Sony forums, so I think its a software problem somewhere.

I have .73. I didn't flash my device nor I use it when charges(and I don't let it charging for hours).
I think that there was not enough RAM at that time but I am not sure. I'll have to check it out.
I just experienced the same problem not too long ago. I was web browsing and my phone crashed and rebooted on it's own. I'm on the phone with Sony right now because I have the youtube issue as well. This sounds like a software issue.
Had mine since March 6. So far only one random reboot, none since update to 6.0.A.5.6

I called Sony Mobile Canada to report this issue. I told her others are having this issue as well. She's going to escalate it. I would like to encourage everyone who's having this problem to call Sony tech support in your Country and let them be aware of this issue. The more people call about this issue, just maybe they will work on a software fix sooner rather than later. Strength in numbers!
No restart on mine
I heavy use internet 3G/wifi on it
But,
I never flash anything on mine with flashtool or seus or pcc
Pure stock FW.67
12w14
AAD-AV
Only 2 "big" issue
Phone freeze one time
when plug charger in
VolumeUp+power solve the bug,
And the yellow tint on the screen.
Normally,when the phone keep autoreboot,or autopowerOff
It is caused by a dead battery
You can identify it
by keep hold power when the phone restart by itself
and at reboot
If the led blink 3 time red when holding power
That's indicated battery die
Or made a battery test in service *#*#7378423#*#*
But your phone is new !
So try a full charge with reset battery to get best power (volumeUp + power 5second one vibrate)
If your phone is rooted
you can delete manualy "power_supply"
in sys/class and reboot
with charger pluged in
After that,
try a full restore with seus with wipe data ect..
Can't help more :-(

I don't think so
Just read the forum

I said that
because with my old x10
I encounter some restart and finally
Kill my battery
And nothing resolve this reboot on it!
I used the phone alway pluged and it come hot like *****!
And some people and dev said
MADE A FULL CHARGE BEFORE FLASH
This mean to avoid battery problem
But you!
What you suggest?
I just try to help or give some tips
And finally read the manual of your phone!
Especially battery section!
which browser you was using? and did that happen while downloading or just while browsing? and for how long you already was connected to wifi before the restart?

Sure i understand it much better then u.
What has random freeze to do with battery?
What you are telling is another section:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25402228
Here you go.
Of course it getting hot.
Power means heat...
Logic.
This isnt a overclocked pc with grammacs core mg..
Kills battery and reboot. Right. Your right.
You go from a to z.
Do you even know what you are talking about?
He says freeze with browser bla bla, you begin with battery...
Nvm.
Good luck in your life

this is MY OWN video...
thanks for letting me know I'm not alone....
i sent it to the service center... the "smart" man there said it was a software issue, to which i did not agree...
we had a small quarrel then he took it and sad they'll troubleshoot it...
one week later i called they said it was ready
so i went to get it. and surprisingly enough, they HARD BRICKED IT !!!! :cyclops:
HOW IDIOTIC IS THAT ???
the man said they found out it was a touchscreen issue and replaced the touchscreen (which i believe is a total BS because the touchscreen WORKS even though i don't see what i'm doing but the screen accepts my touches as orders)
so he turned the phone ON and the sony ericsson logo came up, dimmed then bright, then it's supposed to dim again, right ???
NO , it stayed bright and phone wouldn't go past this step
he tried several times with no luck, so he had to take it back to try to fix it again but i think they will eventually replace the phone because they don't seem to KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING !!!
sorry to hear this .
I called service and they said they can return old andoid.factory.so it will not be ICS anymore but it will work.
God deal to me
I will let you know results

i went to them to get it after they restored old GB firmware.
the phone would not even start...
i believe they bricked it, because today i called to ask if it was fixed yet, and they said, no, it was sent to their main center in Alexandria.
which sounds like i'm getting a new phone !!

i tried this but it remained...
you either had a different issue or you just have to get your phone HOT enough to make it reappear
going tomorrow to get it from teh service center
i believe it won't be fixed...
just as i thought
they did NOT fix it,
but they REPLACED IT with a new device... i knew because 1st thing i did was check *#06# and found a different Serial Number
they told me they replaced he motherboard
after clarification, they meant they replaced THE WHOLE phone except the battery and bckcover
me too this happend to me too but i figured out i was using a bad mod for my ray and the problem dissapeard
i had no MODS
i had original STOCK GB .42 updated to .62 then to ICS .562 then to ICS .431
Hmm Reflash Firmware>? maybe it could work or try freeing up ram
Very similar to a problem I had: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvTFg2J0L4o
The blackout would happen as well as flickering. Not only that, but a weird clicking noise could be heard near the USB port, and the sound did not work at all. I sent it back and got a new one.

I could be wrong, but I don't think there is a fix. Flashing a new ROM will not solve the problem. It's a hardware issue. Only way to fix it is to send for repair or replacement. I tried everything when it happened to me and nothing worked.

I was given an X10 mini Pro (U20i). Battery was flat, but I charged that through an external charger.
When I try to start it, it vibrates for a short time, then shows a backlit screen with black on it. Then it goes dark and after a few seconds lights up again. This goes on as an endless loop. I don't know if it was been modified already (unlocked BL or flashed a new ROM etc.)
I have tried the SEUS tool. It flashed new firmware but hasn't changed anything.
As I can't get into the recovery mode or any other mode I am at a loss on what I can try next.
What options do I have?

I think its an harware issue. Check if the flex connecting from motherboard to display is not damanged/broken. Only way to fix is to give sony service center which currently dont support for sony ericsson n 2010 phones. :/ try ur luck

I was afraid someone would say that. I will have a friend of a friend who fixes phones at much lower fee look at it first before going to a sony service center since the 1 year warranty of my phone has ended 2 days ago anyway. This is the second sony ericsson phone that died days after the warranty ended, SE really knows how long their phones will "live". haha.
Thanks so much anyway.
menu and power button held together for 10 seconds
sounds silly but have you tried holding the menu and power button together at the same time for 10 seconds? and i thought all mobile phones now automatically come with a 24 month warranty to cover 2 year contracts?

Warranties depend on where you live, In the European Union, it's 2 years for all consumer electronics, but that's not the same for the rest of the world.
Hi im posting here as not enough posts for other forum, i have sony xperia mini pro updated last week to latest version, it was rooted untill i did the update after that i lost the root but today i have a bigger problem all of a sudden my battery died when it had at least 50% charge and my phone switched off, now when i try to turn it back on i cant see nothing the screen is black i can feel it vibrating when i hold the power on switch and the leypad lights up but the screen remains black, i am at a loss to why this has happened i had it in my pocket along with my door secruity key today i think it has a magnet in the secruity key i dont know if that would effect my phone but i did notice i play a game called drag racing and all my data had been wiped just before the phone went bad.
Does anyone know whats happened to my phones screen and will doing a manual flash of the previous software help fix the problem
Any help would be kindly welcome its my only phone and i kinda need it at the min
Anyone
Revert to ur previous rom/update. The update MUST be unstable so it is doing nonsense things.
Hope i helped .
