the firs link is the only one with the same problems im having, touch screen works but not after it goes on standby or if the phone go on standby by it self and i press any other bottom (not the end bottom) it will still works
everyone thinks is a hardware thing but how is the touch screen actually working for me? not like second link where the touch don't work at all
mine works but if i press the end key to make it go standby and press it again it become unresponsive, but if it goes to stand by by itself and i press any other key it will still works

probably my hd2 will go to the broken i might use it to fix any other thing drawer
Aaah.. FML
I just woke up, and ive got the same problem...
Can some1 help me where i can find the stock rom for vodaphone??

Sleep of death partial solution?

So it seems that no matter what i do regardless of rom, kernel, bootloader version if I press the power button while my gtablet is awake, it will just shut off- maybe twice now it has successfully unlocked for me and came back to life.
The other night i did a test, with 100% battery set the brightness to its lowest setting using the power manger widget (this seems to be 30 out of 255 btw)
Idling while I slept (screen on, sitting at the home screen) it ran 10 hours and still had 16% left.
Obviously the screen still remains as the key battery drainer, so my question is- is there a way to turn the screen off but keep the cpu running? Perhaps even just kill the back light completely- and upon volume button press or maybe a certain swipe gesture on the screen, the back light could be re enabled.
Ive tried a few apps, none of which have functionality quite like this- I was wondering about perhaps a script we could run via terminal (that maybe could be tied to a shortcut on the homescreen..?)
Thanks!
the sleep of death is my #1 gripe with the deivce.
what i am more interested in is why this happens. I would imagine this doesnt happen in stock form, so it must be an issue with rooting it.
Nope
No it happend in its stock form too... even with the 1.0 fw that i started with...
Went for the update to 1.1 bl and 1.2 bl
I really haven't been able to determine the issue and ive tried every rom between 1.1 and 1.2 ... (at least all the obvious ones on the forums here...)
Not sure what to do other than suck it up and just find something that can kill the screen.

Can someone help me?

Well,my U20i (x10 Mini Pro) have using a custom Rom for a long time and it is really great....until one day (this post date) my phone turn off by me because I want to conserve the battery,and then when I want to turn it on,it vibrate (with no light) and I can see the LCD displaying a very ultra low light level of screen (same like phone won't boot screen) so I reflash it again using the Rom I like but not work... :'(
I'm now try to recover my phone using Update Service aka SEUS right?And can someone give me other way to fix this problem?Also my accelerometer seems not working/functioning when this problem occur...yesterday everything was great but this day the problem occured...
Have you try the factory reset? Long ago my E10i can't use the WiFi, when i turn it on there's no hotspot detected and after 5 second it turn off automatically, even if i try to flash the ROM again, the problem still occur... Until i do the factory reset, it's working normally again... Just give it a try ,well if you don't mind to lose your apps...

if I understood, your phone boot but the display doesn't turn on.
since seems like this happen since turning the phone on. we can say that for some reason the screen isn't responding. so... you can try to reflash it again and see it that help in something.
the worst could be that the screen got damage in some way.
If i were you,I would reflash stock from via SEUS. And then see what happens. I only hope that it isn't a hardware issue

It sounds to me that your battery was just too low... You turned it off to conserve battery and then when you turned it on it gave you a notification sound...
it does that when it wants to turn off because of low battery...
just let it charge, i don't think it's much of a problem.
Well I flashed a stock Rom and the problem still occur...accelerometer doesn't work and phone display isn't on when boot (but the phone is on,yeah it is on just display have no light)

Help with RR 3.8 Jellybean

I am unable to see any music files on music players such as Google Play, Apollo and the RR music app. Since all these apps scan for files automatically (supposedly), there isnt a manual option to add files into their libraries. How can I get the music apps to show the music files?

Phone won't wake up from sleep
I had this problem with rr 3.0.6 and was hoping that 3.8 would fix it but not luck. Basically whenever I leave my phone unused for a long time and try to wake it up by either pressing the home button or the power button the phone won't wake up. I can tell that it's on as the proximity sensor glows a faint red. The only way to wake the phone up is to restart it. However it takes a long time to shut it down. I have to hold the power button for a while as the phone is completely unresponsive. The problem was really severe at first and my phone would think the battery is empty until I restart it. I cleared the battery stats in recovery mode and now it happens less frequently. I use my phone as an alarm clock and the phone goes unresponsive over night so its a bit of problem. Any ideas on how to fix this or is there anyone else having this issue?

You use wipe Data when you install 3.8?, maybe you need return to stock ICS using ODIN

[Q] Xperia Ray Won't Turn On or Do Anything Else

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

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.
