Hello !
I recently bought a SE Xperia Neo which was running 2.3.4 without any problems.
I updated to 4.0.4 using SUS from my computer. After updating to 4.0.4 ICS I am experiencing the following issue-
Quite frequently (once or twice a day or so) the screen stops waking up. That is if screen is in sleep mode and if I press the Power/Wake Up/Lock-Unlock button, the screen does not come up. Only lights below Back-Home-Menu button at the bottom comes up.
In this condition, the phone is on, not like phone restarts or shuts down. If I call my number, phone starts ringing and vibrating but display doesn't come up.
The only way I need to follow is to pull up battery, reinsert and restart the phone. This is really being headache.
I have already done update once again using SUS (or reinstall) but the problem is there.
This problem wasn't there when I was using 2.3.4 for about a week.
Is anybody else experiencing the same problem ?
Any solutions please ?
Thank You
i experienced this when i updated my NeoV from 4.03 to 4.04. it seems to be a lock screen issue. this issue occurred when the lock screen was in slider mode. Now that i'm using pattern mode, the problem hasn't returned.

Hey I'm having an odd issue with my X10i. I received this phone second hand yesterday and went about rooting the phone. It was at 1.6FW then I updated to 2.1FW then to 2.3.3FW. Rooting process went perfectly well and the phone seems to be working great. However, the lock screen will end up completely blank with nothing on it! For example:
Phone is locked
Push pw button to get out of stand-by
LCD screen will get a little brighter but it is still completely blank; lower physical buttons will light up
After about 5-10 seconds, the screen will go completely out and the button lights will turn off.
This happened to me this morning when my alarm turned off. I got my phone as the alarm was going, push the stand-by button, same thing as above but the alarm sound will 'lag'. Once the screen and button lights turn off the alarm will go back to its normal beeping.
The phone is completely stock and with a locked bootloader. The tutorial I followed was:

Here is some information in the 'About phone' screen
Model Number: X10i
Android version: 2.3.3
Baseband version: 2.1.71
Kernel version: 2.6.29-00054-g5f01537 ; [email protected] #1
Build number: 3.0.1.G.0.75
Can somebody help me out with this issue? Its annoying having to take the battery off and reinserting it every time this happens. I tried searching but really didn't find anything.
Anybody? This just happened right now. Again, its annoying to remove the battery every time this happens.
Be more patient, maybe cpu freq cant wake ur phone up.
Try it again and again, it sometimes happen to me when i opened an apps and then my screen accidentally locked, all i need to do just wait and try.
No problem mate.

Hello,
When I press the standby button on my X10, my screen goes black, which is normal. Lately, my screen goes black but immediately after that it returns to the lock screen, and I have to press it twice or more to get it black.
Is this software or hardware related and how can I solve this? Running Wolfbreak's ROM and Doomkernel V6. Running Wolf for about a year now and suddenly this problem starts showing up.
Hi,
its complicated, because might be both. If you used power button very often and/or your X10i is older it might be hardware issue.
I recommend you try different rom first and try it. If it would be the same, then replacement of power button should be the last fix . In that case I might help you with that.

Seems like I fixed the problem by wiping cache and dalvik cache. I'm not sure which one actually solved it. So it was software related.
Thanks for the help anyway!
I have a weird issue with my phone.
when turning screen on, its not immediately responsive.
as if i touch it at the first sec when it turns on it wont react at all.
im not talking about waking up from deep sleep kind of lag, but after that
I feel it with both ICS and JB (official release of ICS and leaked JB too)
Any ideas what would cause such a thing?
Hi, so sorry for the vague thread title, but really, there's no other way to describe it. So here's what happened.
For the past few weeks (or month), my Xperia Ray has had a problem of switching on after it was put into standby mode, i.e. after i pressed the lock button. The screen would light up, however would remain blank. So all I would get is a bright black screen.
I could have lived with this for a few more months (until Xperia Z gets released in my country D: ) however this problem started getting worse. At first, after pressing the home button, the volume rockers and/or the lock button for about 20 times, the screen would turn on (finally). Despite it giving me that bright black screen, i could still operate the screen. I could still try to unlock it because of the haptic feedback on my lockscreen. I could still change music tracks on my music widget on my lockscreen. In short, the screen worked perfectly, only that it kinda wouldn't show. However, for the past week, the only way to turn it back on would be to do a battery pull and switch on the phone again. And it recently developed a problem of giving me that bright black screen again when I switch it on, causing me to do about 5 battery pulls before being able to actually use my phone again.
I did get fed up with this problem, being a heavy user of my phone. Therefore, today I decided to try to do a factory reset of my phone, intending to wipe the dalvik cache + clear all user data, thinking it might help my bright black screen problem. However, I found that I couldn't boot into recovery because all my phone would do was to give me that bright black screen again! So after many battery pulls, I managed to boot up my phone normally and do a factory reset under the backup & restore tab in settings. Of course, the phone tried to reboot itself, but of course, just gave me the bright black screen.
I kinda gave up at this point, and did many battery pulls and boots, however, all I got was either
1. the terrible bright black screen
or less frequently
2. the free xperia project logo then the terrible bright black screen.
I did get very fed up, so I plugged it into a wall socket to charge it. However, since about an hour or two ago, I realised it may be on bootloop. When I plug it into a wall socket, the free xperia project logo shows up and then an even brighter black screen shows up for about 3-5 minutes, then those two repeat endlessly. The notification light doesn't show that it's charging at all.
Okay here's background info on my phone.
- Is rooted
- Bootloader is unlocked
- CM 9.1 is installed
- Was running GO Launcher (if that helps)
- had a custom boot animation
- I think i deleted an apk for the google start up configuration thing...the one that asks if you have any google accounts you want to connect when you switch on your phone for the first time. I'll search up the correct apk name if you need it.
- Is about a year old (got it last early April)
- is a Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray (in case you didn't notice haha)
- battery level was about 20%+ when I did a factory reset (terrible of me I know)
- I have tried to caliberate the battery a few months ago
That's all the background info I can think you need. Please do let me know if you need any other info. If you need the logcat text of what happens when I hit the lock button at the top of my phone and the phone gives me the bright black screen (the early stages of this problem), let me know and I'll dig it up. I think I've bricked it, but I can't boot it into recovery so I can't do anything. And I did all I could google for the bright black screen problem which I won't tire you by specifying here. Please do help me. It seems as if the worst of evils has befallen my phone. Now I'm stuck here with my phone crazily on bootloop beside me. Please please do help.
Flash stock rom
Just try flashing a stock rom with Flashtool. If the problem persists, then it could be a hardware problem. Flashing a stock ftf takes care of all software issues. Get the stock ics FTF file and place it in firmwares folder of flashtool. Start flashtool and select flash mode. Then choose your ftf and press ok. Then wait until it prompts you to connect your phone. Then, just turn off your phone, while holding the power button down attach the USB cable. The LED notification should turn green and wait until it finishes flashing.
flash extended stock kernel and then the stock ftf firmware file...
hit thanks if i helped u
I have the same problem on my Xperia Mini (ST15i) I use Pureness rom and Mesa Kernel... ((

Hi, if your phone can still be switched on and hasn't progressed so far in being destroyed, you could try downloading the Disable Auto Brightness app for Xperia phones from the Play Store. I've read somewhere that the screen might not turn on because of the auto brightness. I'm not sure if it actually helps, but perhaps my phone would have died faster without it. I've read of people changing their battery, doing battery calibrations or changing their screen to fix the problem. But before you change the hardware, I suggest that you check the hardware first. If the Disable Auto Brightness doesn't work, do a Nandroid backup and store the backup somewhere safe. Then flash the stock firmware to your phone and try to get it to switch on. Do flash the firmware before your phone runs out of battery because you never know, your phone may decide to refuse to charge your battery anytime. Then try to switch it on. If your phone goes into a bootloop (like mine now) really consider getting a new phone or sending it for repair or try all day to fix it if you use your phone alot. I'm still trying to fix mine.
I flashed the original firmware for my phone, tried to turn it on, was very happy when I saw the original Xperia logo, but then I realised it was on bootloop. When I tried to charge it, it immediately turns on and goes into bootloop again. Logcat doesn't detect my phone, so I can't obtain the logcat of what's happening. I haven't tried to replace the battery of my phone because I couldn't find a supplier. But I'll go on trying to fix my phone until the day that it really breaks down. Good luck with yours and keep us posted.

Hi !
I want to ask about the possibility of returning to Gingerbread on the Xperia P
Although the battery consumption is normal in ICS, I have some problems.
With stock .54 i have some problems:
- Loss of coverage
- Sometimes when you turn on the screen, I have to give it a couple of times since it was not "awake" at all (I see that the key lights are lit but the screen does).
- On a couple of occasions when the alarm sounds, no screen appeared "remove alarm" thus trying to shutdown solution, but went into a loop, so emergency restart.
- Sometimes not sound SMS notifications
- Sometimes wifi goes "bad", sometimes connected to the first, some not ...
I returned to the 544 but I still have some problems, although the performance is good, sometimes it's annoying.
The phone came with GB but update it directly, and not get to try GB
That said, should return to GB? Is it stable? Did he have bugs like ICS?
Thanks !!!!
