[Q] Softkey Problem - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

Hi there,
I´ve got a serious problem. You all should know this haptic feedback when pushing somewhere on the screen. Also there is this "click" tone for acoustic feedback.
Well, after using my Xperia Mini for a short time (reading emails, installing new apps, using some apps ect.) it starts vibrating and clicking. At first, it does it sometimes, but the longer I continue using my telephone, the more often it vibrates. Maximum number of haptic and acoustic feedbacks are 3-5 times PER SECOND!
The problem is: It seems, that the handy registrates a "touch" somewhere on the screen. It seems somewhere in the bottom field. When starting an app: vibration and the app is cloes. Composing a sms? Vibration and the text editor is closed. No matter what I try do use, it is closed anyway. But I can still navigate through the app menue. There is still vibrating and clicking, but no return to homescreen.
I am clueless and don´t know, what to do? Google could not solve this problem, customer service is even more stupid and replys a standard message. I resetted the phone back to factory settings. No improvement. I installed latest firmwareupdate 4.xxx.69. Still no improvement.
Does anyone of you know, what to do? Does anyone know the problem?
Thanks a lot for every suggestion.

Back and Menu buttons have haptic feedback. Xperia Mini or Mini Pro have had problems with this/these buttons. App closing is caused by that back button.
Check here, in general section, there is discussed about this issue(touch button sensitivity or something like that). In the topic is also a script to calibrate the buttons.
Hope it fixes your problem.

this is great, I´ll look for that solution and hope, this will fix the problem.
thanks a lot!

SMS Notification problem

Hi,
I am having issues with my SMS notification. Since a few days when I receive an SMS the notification doesn't dissapear after I read the SMS.. Anyone knows a solution for this problem? (I can't find anything on google.. Maybe I'm using the wrong keywords, I don't know.. )
Cheers,
Trinorae
I used to have a problem where the lights would keep glowing after reading - is that what you are experiencing?
I haven't seen this since flashing to MoDaCo 2.2 however when I used to occur I found back'ing out of the messages app and then back in seemed to clear it...or something like that.
I experience the 'keep-flashing-light' problem now and then, but I suppose that's just some kind of a bug (that always dissapears by itself) I don't think it is linked with my problem. My problem is that the notification itself stays in the notification-window after reading the SMS.
When I had this problem I had to drag down the notifications page from the top of the screen and then drag it back up again (clicking on "clear notifications" if it was there). That seemed to stop the light, but it's not the best work around and may not work in all cases...
As I said the light is not my problem.. It's the notification itself that doesn't disappear.. And I can indeed remove it manually, but that's not how it is supposed to work, so I want to know whether there is someone who knows how to fix this. (And not the light-problem..)
Apologies for misunderstanding your comment "I experience the 'keep-flashing-light' problem now and then" to mean that you had a problem with the light!
The reason I mentioned the light is that I personally believe that it is linked to the problem you are describing. In my experience (and I believe I have read this elsewhere too) the light in the trackball will only flash as a notification for a short period (you don't mention which light you mean, the trackball or the small led above the screen, so I'm making an assumption). I have noticed that the trackball will continue to flash for a pre-set period (10 minutes maybe?) or until a notification is cleared. Reading a message should indeed clear the notification, but sometimes it does not. When reading the message doesn't clear the notification then the light will continue to pulse as if the message had not been read.
You originally requested a solution to your problem - a solution is to click on "clear notifications". This is not ideal, granted, but unfortunately I have been unable to find a better alternative without any further details...
Which ROM are you using for a start? I have not noticed this problem again since upgrading.
I had the standard ROM, rooted it and then installed the upgraded ROM from HTC (and haven't rooted it since..). I think the problem only started after that HTC-upgrade, but I'm not sure. It's possible that it's as you described that the lights keep flashing too when the notification isn't cleared, but I don't know. I always notice the notification not disappearing after I read an SMS. (So I don't check whether the trackball is flashing or not..) Anyway: I suppose there is no known solution then.. That's a pitty.. Najah, just thought I'd better ask it here first before giving up..
Thx anyway
I have this problem too on my htc desire z.
I have to delete the sms group to make that notification disappeared. Bad one!
Does anyone know why froyo has this bug?

Xperia Mini Vibration Quality

I used to use s.e. W810, recently switched to xperia mini. Everything is pretty nice but the vibration level. It's barely sensible. When I have my phone in my jean pocket switched to silent mode, I feel nothing and when I check it to see whether there is any notification, usually I got ,say, 3 messages and 2 missing call
So, it's obvious that I don't feel the vibration. Searched a little about it, but neither could find anyone suffers from that problem like I do nor a solution to increase vibration level. However thought that maybe by reaching the phone's system files that can be feasible. So, is it possible to do that, if so, how ?
Thanks in advance.
I've not had a problem with it, but there are also apps to allow you to make your own vibration patterns. So maybe something with a bit more stop/start would help?

Thanks for your suggestion but the problem is not the pattern but the level of the vibration definitely. I compared it with other phones and it's really not that high like old phones.
Go sms pro can help you define how many miliseconds the vibration for a notification for a new text should last. haven't used any app which can do the same for incoming calls, but it should exist somewhere in the market!
Actually what I'm looking for is to be able to increase the power of the motor inside the phone which creates those vibrations. This is adjustable for sure, cause for instance as typing it vibrates very slowly. So, by playing with codes they can be achieved, at least as theoretically

Confirming A Problem with Incomming Calls - Sony Xperia S!

When I receive an incoming call into my sony xperia s,(while screen is locked) I can't seem to be able to unlock the screen , and the phone seems to be touch-wise not responsive! I noticed that sliding under the "slide-bar" will exactly work fine rather sliding your finger on the slide-bar itself! which is odd~!
Is this a calibration problem (and how to fix it) or this is a design problem and I have to "live" with it?
And , did anyone face the same problem , or I am the only one who is plaged with this?
thanks a lot in advance for any suggestion!
Waiting for reply guys...
It should not be a design problem. It could just be a bug.
You can try flashing an official firmware using Flashtool. If you don't want to lose the data then make sure you uncheck the option 'wipe user data'. This should solve the issue.
Or may be you can wait for some one to reply with a quick solution.
No there is no way to fix it, it's the software's fault..
same here, the touch stop to response when a incoming call sometimes. After few trys it answeara.
But every time it had happend my have my fingers been little dirty.
i have the same problem, i'm in vietnam, when incoming call, the answer slider is not respone some time, can anyone fix this (.73 firmware)
same to me !
(FW.67)
wow!
Didn't know that this is an actual "bug" which needs a fix, I thought I am the only one here!
Now how to report that to Sony?
Hy, With the test kernel 9008 and rom Ultimate Xperience i can slide call incoming with no bug.
But need a root!!!
Sent from my LT26i using XDA
yep, same here (.73)
And when it's finally unlocked, I have to say 2 times hello, because the first time the caller doesn't hear it.
But after that it's fine.
Yep I've noticed this also, thought I was just not pressing correctly.

Me too.
Sent from the Delta Quadrant using a transwarp conduit.
I'm using fourth device (was replacing due to the yellow tint issue) and none of the phone had such issue!
I have the same problem too.
It seems like sometimes the touch screen takes a second or two more to activate once screen lights up as an incoming call arrives.

Guys I also have this issue even when unlocking the screen from standby, i can even unlock the screen I need to press the power button and then again press the power button to bring the device alive and then I can unlock. When I receive a call I cant slide to receive it, I need to press the power button to put it in standby and then again press the power button to bring it alive and then I can slide to receive the call. But after that i can cut the call as the screen is unresponsive. Again i need to press the power button twice. Please help I dont want to hate my lovely Xperia S.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Did you tried to swipe a bit bellow the icons on the empty space? This works for me.
Same Problem with all of us? Where is SONY to hear that???

[Q] Voice announcements really irk me on xwlsd

Hi,
Does anyone know how to turn off the female notifications when swiping between home screens/app pages - the one that says "Page x of x". Honestly, whoever at samsung/google thought this up should be flogged. When I'm listening to music and also using my phone, I know what page I'm on, I don't need a wet nurse distracting me and telling me the obvious. Also, is anybody running into massive stuttering when quickly swiping between screens or using the dots to slide quickly between home screens? That is annoying and a drastic step back from previous roms, and also I've noticed that each new samsung rom seems to be more bug ridden than the last - either stability issues or some other annoying thing. But enough ranting, I'd appreciate if someone would let me know of solution to my first problem mentioned here - thanks in advance.
go to settings and then go to accessibility settings. There you have a option called talkback. Turn that off ~!

It's an accessibility feature. You turned it on yourself.
No I'm no dummy, that accessibility setting is one of the first things I've checked and it's off.

[Q] A few problems with Tigra rom for N7100

Hi everyone!
Very first post in here, I really want to thank everyone for all the answers I have been finding for years here!
But today, I am not able to find a solution to my problems, with this amazing rom... So here I am.
I have followed the instructions to install this rom, as usual. I even changed my recovery and installed succesfully the latest Philz recovery.
Everything that I read that went wrong for other people went actually good for me. Problem is I identified three things that don't work, I searched this whole forum and the internet with no success:
1) page buddy does not work. I get the small vibration when spen is detached, i get the favorites in the notification bar, and the spen icon on the top left corner, but the actual spen related page (homescreen) does not show up!
2) smart alert does not work, no vibration when phone is "shaked" while an unread message notification is displayed...
3) the keyboard does not automatically switch from typing to writing and vice versa, when spen is detached ornpluged back in.
If the dev or someone using this rom can confirm / help, it would be awesome!!!
Many thanks in advance
