[HELP!] Wifi, Bluetooth and FM Radio not working - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

Hi guyz,
Above radio services suddenly stopped working on my phone . WiFi and Bluetooth even start, but FM Radio apk starts, but can never find a station.
Any kind of fix or workaround? I am desperately, I'm on tha road most of time working and without these services my phone is near useless.
Running stock ICS kernel, Rom and baseband.

Just do a settings reset and see if it helps. (no data will be lost)
If it doesn't work, do a factory reset. (take back up before doing that).
If even that doesn't work, repair the phone software using PCC, or flash the ftf using Flashtool.
Thanks,
Rick

Thanks bro, but we got no success. Seems like the antenna is deatached... is that a possibility?

Then I think you should take it to the nearest service center... And yes, it's a possibility that the antenna got deattached somehow. Or maybe just it doesn't work correctly.

Seems it is a flat cable problem. Gonna replace it today, thanks, guyz.

Problem with front-speaker

Hi all!
I have a problem with my mini pro and would be most thankfull, if anyone could help.
Since a while now, my front speaker is not working anymore. I am using my phone with an unlocket bootloader, custom kernel and custom rom. First I thought this might have to do with that, since I first noticed it after trying an ICS beta (CM9). I did go back to SE-kernel and also restored everything with SEUS, but nothing worked. I have used various kernels and roms since, but my front speaker has not been working again.
Today I got a new speaker and changed it myself. Unfortunately, this still did not bring any changes, no sound at all.
Now I am a bit clueless, if this is really a hardware-issue or could be software related after all??
If any of you has any idea on the topic, it would be great.
All the best,
Jonathan

Bro I had the same issue with my phone.. It is the flex which goes from the motherboard to the lcd part (upper half of the slide) which might be damaged probably causing no connection to the front speaker.. U get it replaced by the SE serice center.. Thats the only way.. hope it helps..

Hi there, first of all, dissasemble your cellphone, here you have the service manual, it has everything you could need to make a hardware rapair, including dissasemble and reassemble videos. http://www.cpkb.org/wiki/Sony_Ericsson_E10i_Xperia_X10_mini_service_manual
Once you obtained acces to the speaker, test it, you can do it taking a wire with a 3.5 plug on one end, and bare wires on the other end, by plugin it on an mp3 player and making sound going trough the speaker. If your speaker works, you will have to take the schematics from the service manual, follow the circuit and locate the failure. Most common failures are a flex broken or pressure contacts failure but you can have problems like this one, that are more difficult to find and solve http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1472440. If your speaker doesn't works, just replace it.
Any problem just say it
Sorry, The service manual for The mini pro is here! http://www.cpkb.org/wiki/Sony_Ericsson_U20_Xperia_X10_Mini_Pro_service_manual

Thank you all very much for your replies!
It sounds like you all do believe it must be a mechanical problem. I allready changed the fron speaker by myself, but it is still not working. I will see how the flex looks!
But it is good to know, none of you thinks, it could be something with the custom rom/kernel
same problem for me man!
have you solved the problem after all?
i've tried to check with a tester and it seems that there isn't signal on the two contacts of the speaker...so i think the problem isn't the speaker but it is on some connection!! (maybe the main plan connector that connect the keyboard part with the sceen part)

[Q] sk17i wifi problem

Hello, I just bought a Xperia mini pro a few days ago and there seems to have a problem with the wifi connection on my Lynksys Wireless-G router.
1. when it connects to the router it only has 5 to 10 sec time span connection.
2. tried an application called wifi static on the android market using my mobile network and it didn't work
3. since i am just new here tried to read some forums for 5 hours and didn't get any info or I just got lost in between threads.
4. I don't know how to solve the issues with the router although I am seeing the same problems with other devices. No problems with laptops, other some brands of phones, apple products)
If there is a solid solution to this problem please do reply.
First of all, I think you should try to reset the router.

Fw. is the stock hungarian T-mobile and its rooted by zergrus.

Tried it dozens of times. I was trying to check on other forums and threads but unfortunately, i didn't see a direct solution. But I was wondering how a SK17i is affected by a fluctuation on a specific 2.4 ghz router. Although other devices work perfectly.
Is there a solution other than changing the rom? Maybe a program or a calibration that is permitted by the device without sacrificing the warranty?
How?

I appreciate your help although im just gonna ask on a specific way to change that. Im still new at this I hope you understand. My expertise lies in a different category. If there is a way that you can help or help on providing a thread on how to change it, it is well appreciated.

im just saying i have wifi problems too and thats cause im on .42 fw. so im asking u what firmware version youre now on. if its .42 than thats most likely the cause of your wifi problem.
so my suggestion is try to upgrade your fw to .58 or .62 and the wifi problem would be gone i guess.
iam now trying to flash to .58 to fix my problems like yours too
edit: if its firmware fault then thats nothing you can do, i have tried wifi fixer from the market and its not fixing so the only way is to upgrade to the latest firmware and thats if youre actually currently on .42 fw

I upgraded to .62 using the pc companion. still having wifi problems. Any suggestions? I tried yesterday roaming around the neighborhood testing the wifi system of all the neighbors using different types of routers. It is working with their router. Unfortunately, my house and my parents house have the same router with the same problem.
I'm looking for a solution that can bypass any router so i wont have any problems wherever I go to. Using my HTC smartphone it works perfectly. Although SK17i doesnt agree with the thought.

well then the answer is simple.
fix your router!
because it is your router fault. not the phone
I had the same problem with my lynsys router when I got my mini pro, it would connect for a bit and disconnect, actually all the devices connected to the router would lose the connection. The fix, updated the router's firmware. No problems since then.
hope that helps.

Thanks so much for reminding me that. I just tried it today and it worked. Although I searched for more than an hour for an answer.
For those who has a Linksys wireless-G Router version 7 (not in the linksys website, I dont know why) just search this code below on Google or your preferred search engine.
FW_WRT54Gv7_*7.00.8.008_2*0090709.bin
Got mine in this website
bergfiles.com/i/bf4859cb7ah32i0
Combine this with the latest SK17i update using the PC companion
And everything will work smoothly

Just fixed it. I appreciate the wake up call. I thought there is a way around it.
The modem was reset so I checked the net. Saw the key to opening up the router website. I left the user id blank and put the password "admin" and got through the router website.
Thanks =]

Problems in making/receving calls

Hi all,
My sister has CM10.1 (25.5.13 nightly) on her phone and she can't make/receive calls.
When she calls someone, they can see her call but when they answer it, they can't hear her and she can't hear them....
She tried to take out the SIM card or switch to airplane mode but nothing helped so far...
Any idea what might be the problem and how she can solve it?
Thanks!
For anyone who encounters the same issue, the problem was solved by reverting to stock using odin (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2187081).
try flashing a different modem.

Newer modem + RIL if using temaseks builds
I have been experienced same problem, ultimately go to repair center...
Try use something like Viber or Skype or something similar to determine the front ear speaker and microphone are working or not.
It they are working with Viber or something... then there is nothing we can do about it.
This was what I tried : tried countless stock firmware, Sammy based-on ROM, AOSP, AOKP , CM10, CM10.1... etc you name it.
And also flashed basically all, radio / modem I can found around XDA, just ended up nothing and eventually sent it to repair...

Actually I already tried RIL & Modem but with no success...
I hope i'll be able to solve it without going to the repair center...

Sounds very similar for what I go through, did you try something like Viber or Skype to determine the front speaker and microphone working or not?
