signal problem - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

i have updated my ray to ics. it looks good but i have one problem - major problem from my point of view - with the phone signal. when i receive a call (not allways), it rings but nothing apears on the screen and i can't answer. when i touch the screen apear the message - the android has stopped working, i loose the signal and i'm asked for the pin code. the call missed don't apear anyware and i have to search the operator automatic or to reboot.
i have made the update manualy, not by pc companion. i have tryed to do so but it give me the message The phone contains modified software that cannot be updated.
what can i do?
thank you.

i have a similar problem, sometimes (random) the phone tell me: Sim removed, reboot.
Reboot and then work again.
With Gingerbread i haven't this problem
Sorry if i have sticked to yours thread but seems similar problem.

I've solved changing the sim.

[Q] x10 Mini - Several calls nog going trhough and huge delay of sms

Hello
I have a problem, that seems to be related to the 2.1 update, since I haven't had this problem before. I've flashed both with versions from here and generic nordic version so I have tested several times from scratch.
I have roomies with the same phonemodel and carrier that have no problems. One of them use 1.6 and one 2.1.
My problem seems to be that the phone can't save and decide what NW to choose. Often I can have several text message dropping in at once several hours late. Often when I try to call I have to try up to ten times before the call connect, and most of the time when people call me they get I'm not available.
Seems it's no change if I kill everything non standard or even directly after re-flash. Do anyone of you know these problems and have an idea if it could be HW, SW or perhaps sim releated?
Since my roomies have the same phone and came carrier I doubt it's the carrier itself causing this. Both GSM and 3G coverage is great in the area. It can be noted that if I manage to get the 3G connection running, talking over SIP is 100%, but over GSM the receiver can have problems hearing me and sometimes I get this robotvoice.
So, for me it seems the radio firmware can be a bit off here, but is there anyway I can replace this separately or do you know of any fix that resolve the NW carrier settings that the phone seem to forget?
i seem to be having the same problem regarding delayed sms messages...
can anybody help please?
why not switch phones with your room mates and see if the problems follows the phone or the sim.
Mine is actually worse. SMSes doesn't even reach my phone. It happen twice already ( once in 1.6 and the second time in 2.1) Both time I solve the issue by reinstalling the phone software via pc suite. You should do the same
I have the same problem, i reinstalled the Cyanogen using xrec, and problem still exists.
Maybe anyone have some hints how to solve it?

[Q] Dialer issue - phone reboots when making calls

Bought the Atrix last week and unlocked it with the help from the webshop as I'm in Belgium, no problem connecting to Mobistar wich is my provider and data connections works great. But I'm having real problems making phonecalls and recieving calls; the phone reboots or the dialer hangs and it looks like a call is going on when it's not, phone still works but flashing green in the notification area and it's impossible to hang up, need to reboot. This happens like 80% of the times I try to make a call. After a reboot it works fine to call and hang-up one or two times then it crashes again.
Also noted that my Dialer often runs twice in the Running Apps manager - is that normal??
Anyone having the same issues or know what to do, reinstall the Dialer app --> if so how? Is it a hardware or software problem??
A little more info: when I recieved the device it was in a sealed Atrix box but the phone was used and already had an active Blur account so I had to do a hard reset to be able to use it... --> was it returned 'cause of faulty dialer or radio... then resold to me... not nice if so...?
Tried to install dialer one app but it seems only to skin the original dialer...
It's a greate device and works great othervice but in the end it's still a phone... which should be able to make calls...
Help
Ive got an unlocked Atrix too and now in Germany, I have the same problem. Motorola should definitely look into this.
Here's a quick fix for it thou, (not permanent)....
1. type *#*#4636#*#* on the dialer
2. Chose Phone Information
3. Set preferred network to GSM only
Viola...its fixed
problem with this fix is that you wont be able to use your 3G network but the dialer should be working.
Thanks Nazrin (for both replies) !!
It sure did the trick, though no data access is not acceptable on a phone like this!!!
So this meens that all unlocked Atrix's in european GSM networks have the same problems? Haven't seen any others reporting this and there are quite a few in use I've noted in other forums.
Was thinking of trying to have mine replaced (which probably won't be easy and take long time...) but that won't change anything then??
We have to wait for the european version of Atrix rom I suppose??
Any others with the same problem??
No problems buddy, glad it worked..and i have to agree with you..this bug is unacceptable...it seems the phone just ***** up everytime it calls on utms (3g)...im sure there is more people with this problem...

I have the same problem
Hi guys, I have the same exact issue (I'm also in Belgium, on Mobistar). I'm somewhat glad to hear this is a generic issue, and not an issue with my specific phone. At least I can be fairly certain replacing it won't solve this issue then.
I made another post here before I came across this one, has a bit more info: we are seeing modem panics when using 3G + outbound call. I've also contacted Motorola support to no avail:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1028771
You can also read there that I tried another operator, and it did not crash with that one (although 3G did disconnect).
Hopefully Motorola/Qualcomm will start to notice the bug when they release the phone globally, and release a fix.
Either that, or we all have phones from the same bad batch
This bug is really bad for users in europe....cant call on utms...
I really hope motorola takes this seriously cos if there's no fix via software updates then its moto gone for me
Guys, you are all on unlocked att atrix right? I do believe it is a simmiliar software glitch/bug/lock that you have porblems using it on non att networks as the problem with the wifi that it stops working for some of us (check the thread about it for more info). As all suggests there it is a config file problem, unfortunately i or anyone else doesnt know yet which one....
Yeah maybe..but funny thing is wifi is working without a glitch...will have to read that forum later...
Workaround options
So, since it seems we're not gonna get this fixed until there is a new radio/modem firmware available for flashing (and even then..), I've been looking for a workaround.
Found two potential applications that could do what we need: disable data completely when making an outgoing call, or switch to 2G:
- Sanity
- Superpower
I've tested the first (Sanity), and it does not work (fully). It does seem to disable data, but the bands aren't switched so our problem remains. I've contacted the developer here: http://tagliamonte.net/forum/thread-10.html. He seems to be very responsive, so given enough interest, I think he would add the functionality we require.
The second app I only came across today, and have not tried yet. It does not have a function to specifically switch bands when making an outgoing call, but it has a trigger for "Foreground application", so if we make that the dialer/contacts... Question remains if it will be able to do the switch.
Hopefully one of these will lead to a decent workaround for all of us!
Well done unknown...i will try these apps... but the real fix should be from moto...im always reading the net for anything that can solve this issue
reboots on incoming and outgoing calls
Same in Russia on Megafon network, I had to enter 4636 menu and use it as "GSM only". Even this does not fully solve problems, e.g. call forwarding does not show the new destination number while it does actually make the phone divert calls correctly.
My hope is that UK release will trigger new software version which will address this issue. ANYONE has news on this?
FIXED!
YAY! I just fixed this issue
What you need to do: flash the radio from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1052914
You have to use RSD-lite, since sbf_flash will not work. Flash the 1.87 baseband and enjoy working HSPA (including unlocked upload speeds ^^)
Now I can finally appreciate this phone fully
Enjoy guys!

Motorola Atrix restart when placing a call
I just got the same exact Dialer problem now, but the flash radio file is gone* in the pointed post, and I don't know exactly how to flash the radio.
Someone can help me? I need the radio file and step by step instruction to how to flash it.
BTW my Atrix 4G works perfect for a year till this Dialer problem started past week.
I also use my phone as a full Linux computer when docked, and it works very fine.
Thanks
* The file was on megaupload, that was closed
No answer
Why I never got an answer of any post I did?
There is something wrong?

[Sorry for problem in speaking]
i had that problem too , im using CM13 with Marshmallow Version of android
So . the easy way is :
***** search "Default" in settings. then choose " System dialer" as Default ! just it ****
but if there is no search bar in your setting . try this patch:
Android 6 : Setting/Apps then click the setting icon on top(may be diffrent in your case) , then Click on "default ...." then choose " System dialer" as Default! :fingers-crossed:
but in some cases that it didnt work . they have to reinstall gapps .
Or in official Roms , reset will be usefull
any quastions?

[Q] Display off during call

Can anyone show me how to enable in-call softkey function??? During call, my display is off and cannot use softkey, if there is an extension number, I have to wait until operator pick up or even cannot see which number is calling via call waiting function.
My ROM is original HTC ROM, don't ask me to load cooked ROM
Thank you
Did it ever work before?
This is the standard:
The display turns off once you put your device close to your ear.
Moving away again should turn back on the screen.
Now there are 2 possible issues:
1) The sensor is malfunctioning
2) The driver/system is malfunctioning
Since you don´t mention if the problem arose after you did something, one cannot offer you better help. Maybe you already tried a hard or a soft reset?
Thanks tictac,
I did upgrade firmware and problem temporary solved

Sim card not recognized

About 2 weeks ago I installed on my Xperia S CM9 by FXP (v. FXP133). Yesterday my Xperia lost signal, even after many reboots there wasn't any signal (well, one time there was, but I losted it after 5 min), so I installed stock ICS (and relocked bootloader). But there is one problem: now my Xperia can't recognize sim card. IMEI is fine, baseband is OK, signal probably too (emergancy calls only). I already tried repair phone in PC Companion - didn't work. Installed CM9 again and unlocked bootloader - still no signal. In Security setting I can't set up SIM Card lock. I can't put another SIM Card, because I don't have another one on this size.
So, what can I do with it? Is there any way to repair my Xperia S without sending it to RMA? Thanks.
And sorry for my poor English, I'm from Poland
dude i have the same problem,
i used miui 2.8.10 for a couple days. The first symptom i saw was that it notified that there was not a simccard in my xperia s, but the simcard was ofcuz in my xps and out of no where it said that there was not a simcard.
i restarted the phone and same story and the second restart it asked me for my pincode which means that it read my simcard.
But today its is game over for me i tried so much restarts and i also installed the official ics no changes and i tried my own simcard in a friends phone (galaxy s3) and it worked but his simcard could not be read by my xperia s.
if there is a solution please share ^^
What are the exact message/pop up? Does it have any options like cancel or dismiss?
Sent from my Sony Xperia S
On stock ROM "Please insert SIM card and restart your phone". But when I remove SIM Card from phone, when it is on, pop up shows up with text "SIM Card removed. Restarting". After that when I insert SIM card, when phone is on, pop up shows up with text "SIM card inserted. Restarting". After that still pop up shows up with text "Please insert SIM card and restart your phone".
On CM9 nothing shows up, still no signal.
EDIT: Problem fixed. SIM card is probably damaged (on my uncle phone works), changed it to the new one :/
And here's the answer
Hey guys I can help because I grapple with the same thing everyday multiple times in a day
The temporary solution is simple.
Just click on settings. Then click on backup and resets. Then click on Settings Reset.
The phone will restart and you'll be jubilant that the issue is gone. But wait a min....its going to come back again! Just do the thing again. And don't freak out, no data will get deleted
All this said I'd love a permanent fix to this annoyance

Xperia Sola Wifi Problem

Hello guys
My Sony Xperia Sola was perfect until i updated to ICS. ICS is very fast,smooth and beautiful software but since then i am experiencing a wifi problem. My wifi get frozen and stuck to connected. I can't disconnect it. The only way to disconnect it is to switch of the phone. I foundnd a "solution" to this problem. Problem seems to disappear if you make a factory reset of the phone. But after a week it comes again. It's so annoying. My "solution" is to make back up-and restore once a week to avoid the problem. If i didn't do the factory reset problem comes again. Is there any solution to this issue? I heard a lot who have this problem after updated to ICS(problems appears and to xperia u)
Thank you
Patrokloscy
Please post Q&A in the appropriate section next time
Thread Moved
Any solution guys??
Change the wireless interface on your router to be 802.11 b/g only - not b/g/n
that helped me!!
sola wifi prob
i have the same problem, i restart, format, anything, but the wifi still doesn't turns on.
even at the first startup screen, i clicked connect only using wifi, than i select network, after that it just stuck there and the wifi will not turn on forever...
i had formatted my phone at least 3times today...
can any1 tell me y???
and how to fix it???
credit to @[email protected]
flash ur device using flash tool, it can be found in the forum too, and it shall be fine after that, just dont know that how long it can last...
same issue
I completely understand the original post.
I don't want to bother with any routers, 'cause it had been working fine before. It mustn't be a question of router settings.
Some software upgrade of the phone might have caused this problem and I'm still waiting for any reply from Sony on this. If they don't do anything in a month I'm gonna push this **** device to a repair station, though I don't feel much desire for the mess that comes with this procedure.
Generally the phone is very slow (and sometimes it opens the phonebook instead of call list, sometimes it take 10 secs, etc.), I wanna get rid of it but I have to wait till the end of my telephony contract's period.
