Hi guys,
I seem to have a problem with my X10i, it randomly turns off by it self, below are the times in which ive noticed this:
Phone is charging and i am texting at the same time or talking for like 5 mins and then turns off
phone charging and it gets too hot and it turns off
phone turns off when hot generally,
i play a racing game for 20 mins and it turns off.
When it turns off it tries to reboot, it boot it s then turns off again, i have to take the battery appart, wait for 10 mins plug it back in and turn it on.
This gets annoying as it shouldn't really do this and its not as if i put my phone on top of the radiator in order for it to get hot.
Please help
Ps. it did this on android 1.6 and 2.1 so that didnt fix it.
Regards
Well, this is definitely a hardware problem... you should return it to warranty or try and get it robbed to activate insurance if you have one... lol

Hey,
Thanks for the reply, i have also noticed that when the phone turns off it make a small clicking noise.
Thanks for the suggestions but im in greece and i have no insurance cover and the phone was given as a gift so i don't know what is up with the warranty.
Totally a Hardware problem... Just take it to the nearest SE Repair. It'll cost you though.. :\ They Charge really high if u dnt have wwarranty.
Any ideas on which hardware could be causing this? do you reckon it could be just the battery getting too hot? or something else?
You will still have warranty even if it's gifted (through imei )

Oh nice i hope that is the case, i 'm not sure if its been a year though, how long does the warranty cover?
One year. Warranty is for one year and two years on special contract basis if i'm not wrong.
If your phone keeps restarting, (Heating) another issue could be wrong (or high) OC settings (like setcpu to high values) or something. Which fw are you running atm?
Try reflashing to Stock and see if the same thing happens?
I had the similar issue , I flashed it to Wolfs 2.2 switched off the mobile, Removed battery and let it cool down. After sometime it fixed the issue by itself

Hey,
Thanks for your reply, i do not know what oc speed i have or how to overclock, as for my version i have the stock 2.1 android rom and build 2.1.A.0.435
I DON'T KNOW HOW TO FLASH, i have seen tutorials but everytime i set my phone to usb debugging mode it over heats and turns off
Have nearly same problems. Looks like you have fuel gauge ic problems, max17040, to be exact. Or Qualcomm PM7540 power distribution ic, which is much worthier. Does your battery level changes sometimes after that glitches, and returns to normal after battery re-installation?

yes that does happened sometimes, the battery is on red and the phone crashes, but then when i take the battery out and plug it back in after 10 mins i get a white bar in the battery so in theory it has more battery than when it crashed.
Does this problem problem always happens? I'm doubting if buying this cellphone or not. The problem of the heat makes me doubt.
What do you think about that? It happens always?
Thank you for the information.
No Problem
I have a WT19a and I can say it heats up a little just in games when overclocking is done. the battery is around 40 º C temperature. It also relies heavily on the country in which it lives.Here is my country lives in tropical temperature then normal for my living with an average temperature of 30 ° C. . Is quiet because it can not hurt not. The good thing is that he amazes the humidity inside the unit too.
I am very satisfied with my unit.
WT19a GB ROM Original Version 2.3.4
I have Xperia Mini Pro and I also encountered overheat problem. Phone's charging stops at 70% after 12-14 hrs and it becomes extremaly warm, also touchscreen didn't work properly. This manual helped me ^^
But if we us that manual you said, the problem gets solved? or it returns sometimes?
It only happens in "extreme" situtions like games, and big processing? Or overheat happens when you ar in "regular" activity?
Thank you.
On newer smartphones, hard usage(gaming for example) does increase the temperature and it is completely normal, however I have never experienced problems with touch screen.
Long time ago, I also used custom kernel to overclock and then play, temperature went higher indeed(battery was over 40 degrees Celsius), but I still didn't have any problems, even though I didn't play for long time, but only for 20 minutes, to prevent damage to mainboard.
Phone is Live with Walkman WT19i.
But i can see that most of you use the WT19i cellphone. I think i'm going to buy the SK17i. Would I have the same problems?
Thank you for helping me

Nope because I own an Xperia Mini Pro
Sometime,there is a little problem with back button when you have many application running at once.The problem is when you press back button,it delay the back function,example I run many application,then I press back button nothing happen,after 3-4 seconds my phone vibrate and goes back...but I assume this as normal and about the overheat : Every phone does and my phone never ever got touchscreen problem when it is overheat
I have a Xperia mini pro and have no problems related to the touchscreen, concerning the warmth problem it works as expected, and as all my phpnes did so far...then again I dont paly alot aside from emulators...regards

I gave the Mrs my sony xperia x10 mini pro u20i and she thought she lost it a year ago, it turned up recently at the bottom of the kids toy box having possibly been involved in an accident involving a bottle of baby milk, go figure????????. The only visible damage was corrosion on the heat syncs and a small dried blob on the inside of the screen. Anyway after all attempts to fix it, it is still dead and as I can not guarantee 100% what works I cant even sell for spares :crying:. I was going to bin it but thought I would offer up the parts hear first. All I would ask is the exact cost of the postage from the UK, and that no one complains if a part is faulty etc. The screen, digitiser, case, bezel, camera modules all LOOK to be perfect and the chassis only has a very minor crack. It seems a shame for them to go to waste if they could help someone else and maybe I could earn some good kharma points.
Anyway the offer is there
Hope this doesnt break the XDA rules
The battery energy could have run out,charge it fully first..
If the battery is charged but the phone still doesn't on,maybe the battery is dead since you said it involved with baby milks incident.Go and buy a new a new battery for your phone
If the battery is charged and normal but the phone still doesn't on,maybe there is some hardware problem in the phone,you NEED to pay for it (unless you are an expert in this situation,then you can do it for free xD)
That's all my suggestion,and about the screen : If the phone is A-OK,but the screen still have the milk spot,the milk could have been enter at the phone display,you can change it if you want

I bought Xperia x10 from a guy who said that he flashed it and it after two weeks it turned off and didnt turn on. I got new battery and it turned on, but after 5 minutes it turns off again. I brought it to service and after 5 minutes they said its motherboard problem..I dont believe that cause i flashed it again with SE Pc Companion and it worked 12 hours playing songs...I tried to look some pictures and it turned off.. When it turns off I need to pull out the battery and wait 2-3 minutes to turn it again..Weird thing that I noticed is that Sometimes it turns off and it shows 00:00 time and battery about 70% and sometimes with time 7:40 and battery 40% and when it turns on with time 7:40 it turns off in 1-2 minutes.. Seems like it has dualboot or something.

Try to flash stock firmware using flashtools ,may help.
Sent From My BEAST , I mean X8
I already tried using flashtool...and i tried SEUS few hours ago and my phone still shuts down
Well there is something with these phones. I also have one that turns of by itself. Changed battery, installed stock ROM, however problem still exist. With new battery works much longer. When not fiddling with it works as it should. I guess the problem can be in motherboard, probably when using data transfer or just viewing pictures some element get high temperature so it shuts down to reduce risk of more damage. When your X10 shuts down? When downloading data, taking pictures or play something (when it needs more power consume) or even when it's lying on a table? Anyone have a service manual for X10?
it restarts randomly..sometimes when booting..sometimes when listening music..i also think that it is overheating..because i need to leave phone cooldown to turn it again
Short circuit maybe?
Sent from my X10i using xda premium
What you mean by short circuit, I mean I know what this mean but do you know where on the MB it can be or you just guessing? I doubt that can be a reason cause in that case phone probably won't turn on.
Well if it has ever had moisture in the phone from rain,etc. It could have made it to were you don't have enough power there for shuts down randomly
Sent from my X10i using xda premium
Well mine wasn't disposed to humidity. Even the sticker that is clear, didn't change colour. I've found service manual for X10 if someone needs it I can upload. However it doesn't state that case, checked the possible steps with no luck. Noticed that there are only basic steps to check like checking the button flex tapes etc. It only states that in case faulty main PCB service should replace it preparing before steps to program new one. I guess they mean writing IMEI and so on, as there are instructions for printing a new label in manual. I'm quite sure that problem is with connections on board. Now I'm trying to fix it my way if it works I'll write how to. If not I'll probably be a new owner of a paperweight... Wish me luck.
I wish you luck! I've had the burden of my old sidekick 4g continue to reboot and shutdown caused by the circuits.

So far so good works stable from 2 am GMT+1 til now. So here is my solution of the problem.
But first if you follow it I don't take any responsibility if something goes wrong, it didn't work for you or you kill your phone!
It worked for my specific case and might not work for other.
1. As I stated before I checked all possible mechanical problems like flex, connectors, replaced battery etc. So just in case do the same.
2. You'll need these tools (I've used them probably there can be better)
- torx t6 screwdriver
- an old sim card
- alluminium foil (ordinary foil that is used for packing food or something)
- an oven I've used regular free stand kitchen with it
3. use torx and sim card to dispatch X10 ( you probably done it when checking flex cables etc.)
4. get the main PCB from the cover, disconnect cmos camera, leave only PCB
5. rip off all stickers on it (white under battery, and the black ones on the electromagnetical shields on backward, also remove the copper ones)
6. As I stated before here comes the meritum problem lies in a BGA chip, I've taken solution from old problems with Nvidia cards where the BGA connections with time needs reballing. So the solution was to heat it to temperature where tin bond (the tin balls) will melt. But before you need to protect other components not to fry. To do so use the foil to cover all the components that should be protected. I've made 3 layers of it. Leave uncovered only one shield - that with copper sticker, bigger one as there are two.
7. You can remove the backup battery from PCB before but I don't know what will happen if you do so (I didn't), there is a risk it explodes
8. I preheated my oven to 210 Celsius degrees
9. Lie layered PCB on a plate
10. Put a plate with PCB to the oven (i put it on top of it)
11. Leave it inside for 10 minutes
12. Fingers crosed, pray or whatever you want.
13. Turn the oven off. I opened it a litle bit for 3 or five minutes to slow cooldown and next opened it about a half for ca 25 minutes, next get the plate from it and wait another 20 minutes till complete cooldown.
14. mount all together, the stickers should be usedd new ones but i didn't have them so used the old ones.
15. have faith and turn Xperia on. If all goes as it should and the problem was the BGA you should have now a fully working Xperia. Enjoy it!
Hope it may help some others. And I write it simple to understand, if not sorry I'm not native English speaker. If you have questions ask, I'll try to answer as good as I can.
And once again remember that cooking with Xperia is a dangerous and can kill your phone so think if you really want to do this.
Glad it went well

Wow. And 7 days later????? hows it going???
I have no problems with my XPERIA X10i (other than my own actions), but I'm always interested to understand different solutions to common problems.
Still works like a charm Only one thing I noticed it sometimes cant load a picture (photo) in gallery but this might be just a SD card problem. It just shuts down image viewer. Beside that I didn't noticed any problems with it.
Edit: For now it still works, Probably it will last as is, I hope so. But to be honest I fried 2 days ago a motorola phone it didn't lasted that try. But it was bought just for tests and phone was dying (don't know phone history but AFAIK it was after heavy underwater adventure as i saw its main PCB), it didn't lasted that try. Now it's not giving any sign of life, however it did them before when plugged a charger. Just to be honest and beware the brave ones. I did fried my x10 as I didn't have any to lose
