[Q] Xperia Mini overheating. SW or HW problem? - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

Since I installed the build 62 software via PC Companion I have a serious problem. The phone quickly overheat. When I play a game, or watch video, or just browsing in Opera the phone temperature reach 37 Celsius and the back and menu button become live! They presses itself, and programs closes or the menu appears. I have to wait until the phone cool down, and i can use again. But after 15-20 minutes overheat again. It is very annoying and disappointing. I have read some Sony forums where users complained about this problem, and they suggest it is a hardware issue. I dont think it is true, because my phone elder than 3 months, and the problem appeared only 1 week ago, just after install build 62.
I tried to reisntall sw via SEUS and PC companion, but not helped. Anyone has the same problem, Or anyone has idea to solve it?

listen your problem is very public at all of xperia mini users
and the problem is from the software not hardware in the software
there is a problems with buttons .
and its easy to fix so you have two possible solutions
first : you go to Sony Center and they will re-calibration the buttons
second ; you can fix it with yourself and its easy to fix you just have to
follow steps
1- your phone need to be rooted and it very important thing
you can know how to root your phone here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1320350
2- after you get rooted you have to download a program from google play
or any site called GScript Lite
3- when you download and install it you can run it it will ask for
superuser permission it oky click allow
4- the gscript will open click on add new script and name it what ever
you want and but a a mark on needs su and write this script on the typing
space
Code:
dev=/sys/devices/platform/spi_qsd.0/spi0.0
fw=touch_smultron_sony.hex
cyttsp_fwloader -dev $dev -fw /system/etc/firmware/$fw -verify_only
sleep 5
reboot -p
and save just like this pic

and the answer is ........ yes
and if you already used this way and your phone is fixed
then you have installed a custom rom then this fix will be gone
but i dont think it will come with the custom rom because its
a different software you know what iam saying
and why would you install a ics custom rom and you
already will have the official ics rom on end of april
WARNING : the unlocked bootloader sony phones wont have the
official ics rom from sony

Can be received, but updating will just brick it, if done over the air.

Anyone knows if the problem is already solved by the official software upgrade?
