[Q] Landscape issue when flashing a rom - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Sometimes when flashing new roms, Donut HD 2.2.6 this time for instance, my X10a is not capable of viewing in portrait mode. I've had this happen with several other roms in the past. The rotation button is always enabled. Any ideas on a fix? Thanks.

Buttons Not Working

Hey guys, I've come across an annoying problem with my X10. While using the phone, the 3 main buttons and camera button (all of the buttons sharing the ribbon along the bottom of the LCD) will stop responding. At first I thought I had broken the connector or something, but after a restart the buttons respond again. This is happening more frequently and is pretty annoying, any ideas for a fix?
I'm using Trips 1.7 Miui rom and haven't tested with SE's rom

Maybe app related on that 1.7 ROM. Try stock ROM to see what happens.

I'd suggest the same thing.
But also clear your (Dalvik-) Cache, Data and everything.
Also, maybe it's kernel-related. What kernel+baseband are you using?
Think it might just be a dodgy connection, seems to be ok atm
Baseband is Trip's 67, kernel 2.6.29
Did you tried pressing the buttons??
they are not capacitive like HTC and LG...!!

strange things about 2.3

Whenever i charge my phone, display remains on unless i press the power button to put it on stand by..in 2.3 there are so many applicsations running in the background which makes it a bit laggy..and flash doesnt work even in vignette..
Flash issue in vignette is related application, and i hear vignette dev are on their way to fix it.
Are you on stock rom? Rooted or not?
You can remove some bloatware and useless apps from SE with Titanium backup if your phone was rooted.

Cyanogen Mod[CM]?
I've a similar issue on my GF's phone, almost same problem, the light won't turn off for a long time unless pressing power button but her phone is an x8.
But this shouldn't happen on the stock 2.3.3.
i am using the stock 2.3, 2.3 is nice but i sort of miss 2.1, it was much faster..

Go to Settings - Applications - Development and uncheck "stay awake"

about slowness problem : i highly recommend you to root your phone. flash stock DooMKernel then flash WB ROM. it may take some time but your phone will be superfast.
Xrecovery will be installed with the kernel. and the three thread are in development forum. and don't be afraid. WB ROM is very stable without any bug.and totally a stock Rom.

[Q] Stuck back key [xperia mini pro]

Hi! I've an issue on my xperia mini pro.
More than often the back key (which is a touch sensitive key) stops working.
I can't resolve this definitely. Things I tried:
- reset settings (does not work)
- total reset (works for a couple of weeks than the problem comes back)
- killing services with android system cleaner (works sometimes, I see that maybe is related to the process "Home of sony ericsson" -the stock launcher v2.1.x)
- switched to go launcher ex (worked for a full day, the problem came back)
- prevent various apps and services to startup (did not work)
- remove various apps and services (didn't work)
- update firmware to 2.3.4 (only solved the problem of the black screen that won't unlock)
what in the world should I do to fix this tedious issue?
tnx for answers, forgive me for my spaghetti english

Rom is pre-rooted, you will need to unlock bootloader and flash a different kernel.
Hardware keyboard will not be working, you'll need to get the files from the CM7 stable build for this.
I would not endorse going down this route unless you want to be running CM7 anyway, and there is no guarantee it will help.

thank you! You're right: I don't want to flash the previous version just to set up cm7! Not cause I don't like it but because with the previous version of the stock kernel I was having a much more big problem: the black screen (some others had the same problem).
Maybe I'll go on this way, waiting for ICS hoping it'll fix up everything!
btw, how's my english?
Maybe u r sweating or ur finger is kinda wet when u press it,our phone is unresponsive to fluid,except u buy an active
xperia mini pro! not active!
that would be true for the settings key too!
I think is a sort of bug of the rom... I'm getting it very often! damn!
I noticed that sometimes the screen light "shakes", like a vibration, and so the lights behing the touch keys...
the light sensor reacts to reflections of the light and shadows I make when using the phone. This is a minor thing but the back key sometimes makes really hard using the phone!

[Q] Can't use screen while talking

While using stock ROMs up to 360 works fine. Every custom ROM or 40* ROMs cause these problem.
Once sensor was covered while call, display locks and doesn't unlocks until someone on the other side hang-up.
I've allready tried to wipe cache and reset everything. Calibration doesn't help too.
PS Sorry for my bad english.
It's a known problem, however some have reported that if you rotate the device from portrait to landscape (or vice versa) that it "unlocks" the screen.

It realy helps, thanks!
Did anyone figured out what is the reason of it? Is there a fix?
As far as I know, there is not a fix for it. We are stuck with this workaround for now.
Fortunately, I've found kind of a solution.
I've noticed, that if phone shows you any kind of notifications, display unlocks right.
So i searched an app that will show some. And it works!
For me cure is - "Notification Airtime" app (Free and available in market).
Hope it will be useful.

rotation problem ; any fixes?

ive had my amaze for awhile. and for the longest time it will not rotate into landscape when im in youtube,camera, or web sites.
everything on the phone is stock and on ginger bread. ive reboot, did the calibration, etc. ive tried every option i could think of. i have not down loaded any games or apps other then what comes with the phone.
finally i down loaded the android sensor app. and it says the "waiting for response" on acceleromter, gyo and another sensor i forgot(maybe GPS). but my map app works fine.
anyone have the same problem or fix?
thanks
I say completely wipe the phone in hboot or update to ics. If issues still occur try rooting and installing a different rom. If still present put back in stock and have it replaced if you can

I can't remember if it had it in GB but theres an auto rotation setting in settings/display/Auto-rotate screen

I too have had this issue periodically, I noticed that on AOSP ROM's it tends to happen more often than not.
Yes I check ALL the auto rotation settings etc. in the ROM
I end up using Auto Rotate from the playstore when on some ROM's, still a pain in the arse because it will not Auto, I have to select rotate to get it to work
I am now on Viper 1.7.+ and rotation is working again
What's the permanent fix?
Come on all you Genius Dev's, this should be easy for you
Something is missing/being left out of some ROM's?
Autorotate

Well, with the HTC sense roms there is a autorotate app

That autorotate app is in Sense ROM's by default?
And if yes, do you think it can be used with other ROM's?
