I recently bought a Sony Ericsson Xperia st15 and now the back button seems to be operating on its' own, so bad I cannot even unlock the screen to enter the phone. I have tried installing the software many times and the problem still persist. What can I do to solve this problem. Thanks for all your help.

Hi,
I have a problem when typing text on my x10 mini. The problem occurs when i want to change to an other word, and presses the little arrow so the drop down window appears. Or should appear, because sometimes that doesnt happen.
The box with the 2 most used words and the arrow, just dissapears and i have to deselect and select the word again to give it an other try. I sent my phone off to repair, and they replaced the whole screen, but still the same problem.
I found a few others on a danish forum with the same problem, but no solution. So i hoped that 2.1 would fix this. Debranded yesterday and installed 2.1, and still the same issue.
Is this a common (software)problem?
Or something hw related so it can be fixed?
Nobody that types on their phone?
The stock keyboard is pretty poor. I too have a similar problem selecting words.
Why don't you try another keyboard?

I have the EXACT same problem.
The reason why I don't switch to another keyboard is because this is the only one that I have tried that when pressed does not allow you shuffle through the other keys thus dramatically increasing my accuracy and speed.
The error only happens once per writing session.. In my case that is!

Thanks for the reply guys. I like the stock keyboard layout, and for me the screen is to small to use any other.
Im suppriced that its apparently a pretty common problem. Seems strange that it hasent been fixed, and the carrier and Xperia support also said that they had never heard about this problem before.
So im finally so mad about this, so threw the branded firmware back on and found the box to the phone, and off to repair once again it is. Cant see why SE dont fix it. Well okay, the one or two coders they have, has probably been busy with the 2.1 upgrade
Let me know if someone wants to know how this turns out.
Hi i have a big problem with my xperia mini,
i runs great for 3 weeks now sine i bought it,
but suddenly the touchscreen and the back&home button didn't give any respond,
i tried to restart by taking off battery, and i didn't solve the problem
i tried to flash it with stock firmware .368, it also didn't solve it
is this hardware issues or what? any suggestion before i take it to SESC?
As most of the other users who have this problem, it's a hardware issue. Really, after 3 weeks, before you have this problem?
I have the same unit st15i and only a day before reaching 3-weeks. Hoping I won't have this problem.
What color is your unit and model made? (you can check it after you remove the battery) mine is 11w31m
Sony ericsson Xperia mini not working
Hi,
My sony ericsson Xperia mini is having same issue, touch screen is not working and not able to switch off the mobile and applications are not starting when i click on application icon.
Did you get any fix for your issue ? please help me to fix the issue.
Try to repair the software with PC Companion. Click on Support Zone > Start > Repair phone. Just follow the on-screen instructions from here on.
If this won't fix your problem you need to have the phone handed in for repair at a service center unfortunately.
Call the local support team for more info on this (service location etc.).

Check the post in general information about the touchscreen solution using a script. You will need a rooted stock Rom.
old issue,upgrading your st15i to ics will solve it,it's just a bug in it's firmware
Hi,
My Xperia S suddenly quit vibrating at all, not for (text) msg's, incoming mail/sms etc, and haptic feedback for the 3
bottom keys doesnt work as well as that for the keyboard. Yesterday for some reason it stopped, but after a while it
returned. However, atm there's no vibrating at all again, which is annoying since I dont like to check everytime if I have a
msg or not.
I did not turn it off myself, and checking the settings it's still on. Furthermore nothing happened to the phone in terms of
mechanical damage. I did not recently (last few days) install new apps, but updated to firmware 6.1.A.2.45 5 days ago.
I dont think that has anything to do with the problem though, since the problem occurred only yesterday.
Phone software is just the original stock software.
Anyone recognizing this problem and perhaps has an idea on how to solve it? I'd be very thankful...
Thanks in advance,
Nanoxy

Hm actually I hoped it could be some software bug... I wouldnt be happy to
send it to sony etc... too much trouble
Isnt there some code I can dial to check if vibration works at all? I think I read somewhere about it but cant find it now...
And, if I use "back up and repair" function of pc companion, and repair using a back up of lets say 1 week ago, will I lose any data?
I mean of course I lose things I did this week, but for the rest are there things I should know before trying this?
Same here ever sinceci updated to ics ( any chance you live in belgium too)?

The Netherlands, so close...
But well, total reset + restore with back up does not help... I find it hard to believe that its a hardware problem though...
how's that possible for no reason :s

Yeah mine worked all the time, but stopped working at a moment not close to an update...
besides, vibration is not AT ALL working... I cant even force it to vibrate after installing some
of those sad "vibrator" apps or whatever... I'm afraid the only thing I can do is let it repair, which totally sucks.

Yeah thats what I meant, but... if I choose vibration at "service tests" it wont work...
does that mean its just 'broken'?

Sony Xperia S' vibrate and screen lock are not working.

I dont think that has anything to do with the problem though, since the problem occurred twice week.
Then security screen lock's not work. I check the setting slide is still on. So, Why that not working?
Please reply me.

AUTO ROTATION PROBLEM:
TRY THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK OR ASK PROFESSIONAL !!!
I solved it by opening the phone and then tapping the gyro sensor IC a bit. It is the first ic on top of mother board after opening back. After that auto rotate started working and no problem uptill now.
Advanced orientation. This aplication solved problem on my xperia p.
I just bought a sony experia Z2, i have issues with touch and it freezes up untill i lock it and unlock then it performs well for a while and then freezes again. the touch behaves in such a way keeps on opening unwanted apps.
Kindly assist with solutions.
Tried a factory reset?

I had the same issue with my old Z1.
Unfortunately, this is more than just a simple software issue.
It's hardware.
Even a full display replacement didn't fix my issue.
EIther try to get it fixed, or replace the phone.
