My screen is black and it doesnt showing anything but i can unlock it(i hear the unlock sound). I tried flashing a stock firmware and it didnt help.
Does someone know how to fix it?
hardware
So it looks as a hardware problem, mabe with backlight of the display.
What was the last thing that you were doing before that problem (phone fall down, get wet, modify some libs, reload firmware)?

hi mate, Do you always play games while you charging your phone? I think that is the cause of the problem, i had a blank screen problem too, but its not really bad bcoz when i push the on/off button on the top then push it again it will display the screen like a normal.And i notice this problem happened to me since i addicted to play a virtual tennis, i play till the battery drain and connected the charger and keep playing the game, after couple of day, then i got this problem. And one more thing, while i playing any games, i always used the home button to reply sms i got then i push the home button again to get back to the game i played.

My Vibrant is currently running stock KB5.
About every two days or so, I will be using the phone, and the colors on the screen will suddenly wash out, screen goes to max brightness, whatever is on the screen at the time stays up, and there will be two or three horizontal thin lines on the screen. The Menu, Home, Back, and Search keys all light up. The touchscreen and all buttons, including the power button, become unresponsive. Screen will not timeout. Only way to get out of it is to remove the battery and reinsert. If I am in the middle of a phone call, I am still able to continue speaking on the phone.....but can't hang up, adjust volume, etc.
I haven't tried any other ROMs since KB5 was released, so hard to say if another ROM would solve the issue. Don't flame me for sticking with KB5. I don't need my phone to do a lot....really just use it for calls, music player, Sirius, Google Maps/GPS, light web browsing. I'm not really opposed to running another ROM, I just found it to be a pain in the butt to be constantly switching ROMs as they are updated.
Anyone else experience this problem? Hardware or driver problem? If anyone else did have this problem, did switching to another ROM solve it for you?

Hello ppl!
Yesterday I was flying to Dubai, and desided to "kill" some of my spare time playing the "Mini Motor Racing" game.
Approximatelly after 20 minutes of playing, the screen suddently became unresponsive (no reaction whatsoever), although the game was running normally.
I tried to press the power button to switch off the screen, but it was not working either. Tried to press the cameta button, no result as well. NO command was functioning, not hardware, neither software buttons.
I left the phone to the side for 3-4 minutes (while the game was still running), and noticed that the phone temp had actually falled down a little. Tried the touchscreen, but it was still unresponsive. This time though, the power button worked, so I managed to switch of the game.
I left the device to cool down, and then tried to play the game again, but had the same results (only this time, the phone became responsive about 15+ minutes after I put it aside, and since I have been trying to switch it off without success, I intentionally tried many button combinations, and the only one that worked was vol+, vol-, power pressed simultaneously, which switched off the phone).
I thought that this was some kind of a software/compatibility problem with the game, so I tried to play "Reckless Racing 2". Guess what. THE SAME results...
Anyone else with the same problem, or is it just me?
I heard same with PLAY my friend has with playing her favourite game.. n she has now extra battery attached on back of PLAY which seems solved issue.. may be ICS update will rectify it.. wait for it n hold those games till then
same to me
I have the same problem with my xperia. I bought the phone on 25th of april and since the first day it freezes when i am playing games. First i thought it is overheating but then it started to freeze in the middle of play or when i start the game, everytime was different. Repairing with pc companion didn't solved the problem, factory reset didnt solved the problem, updatung the firmware to .73 didn't solved the problem. I found other people on the sony talkmobile forum with the same problem. After one month i gaved my phone to sony service center for repair. I will share the results wheh they give me back the phone.
I have videorecorded the freezing problem, you can see it on youtube.

Yeah, actually that's what did the trick, but didnt know it 'till then! I was just anxiously pressing buttons!
@globetrance: Does your phone do the same with ALL games? Even 2D ones? The only two actual 3D games that I have freeze the phone, but others, such as Stardunk (the game actually makes the phone boil, especially in online mode), Azkend, Machenarium have no problem!
It is a bit odd...
===EDIT===
I have already fully reset the phone and re-installed .73 from the begining, but the problem is here again!

Our phones freezing has nothing common with the temperature . Mine is freezing sometimes even @ 30 C. I think the problem is somewhere else, may be in the internal memory?!

weird.
my screen came unresponsive when phone get heated a lot during playing some HD game for a while...
anyone else ocured this problem or is just me, also take notice i have yellow tint isuse..i will send it in short time to service center...
@electrash:
Yeah, we seem to have the same problem. But this does not occur while playing 2D games (although the device heats up a lot).
Yep, I also have the yellow tint issue, which is getting worse every day.
It seems that ppl having this issue are "rare" to find, and that we are the lucky ones
I will take my SXS for service tomorrow to see what happens.
@globaltrance:
My friend, did you get your Xperia from service? Any news?
12 days have passed and i am still waiting for my phone. Tomorow i am going to check things out, but i think the phone won't be ready within next 20 days.
I think the freezing come cause dalvik vm is low in the build.prop
There is 2 value 32 and 48 Can someone set the 2 value to 64 and try again.

I am guessing that this procedure requires rooting, correct?
My SXS is not rooted, and I promised myself NOT to touch this baby, but if you believe that it will work, I'll give it a try!
gm007, do you have such issue with freezing games?

Yes the phone freeze sometimes when I exit a game. we need someone with rooted phone and who play games too much cause I play games not everyday.
I don't remember that the phone freeze after I changed the VM value to 64.

My phone is not repaired yet. I have to wait more...
Оk folks, i've got my phone now. I'll make some test to check if it's going to freeze again while gaming. I hope not.
Perfect!!!
Let me know how it went. If it worked OK for you, maybe it's time to take my SXS to service for the yellow tint as well!
(Let me know if you get the yellow tint after service)
Ok, the phone is working perfect now, it's stable in games, but i have another problem. I found 4 dead pixels... There's no yellow tint. Their answer about dead pixels was that the pixels must be at least four per square centimeter for any service support. Now i have to wait for more dead pixels, and i hope the next will appear close to each other. Damn i hate this phone... Buying this phone was my biggest mistake.
Hi, first sorry for my english, I hope that it will be clear enough to understand my problem...
My Xperia Ray, updated to ICS, display a black screen (with backlight) when waking up after a stand by. I have to wait for undertermined time to have something on the screen, sometimes I remove the battery and boot the phone to be able to use it.
I updated it to last 4.0.4 ICS thinking it will resolve the issue, but it has not.
I can still use the phone when connected to MyPhone Explorer with the phone keypad, while the mobile's screen is black the MPE windows shows me the "normal" mobile screen. Everythings else works normally.
I'm afraid to give it to customer service, it was a SFR branded phone and I flashed it with a generic firmware.
Locked bootloader, sfr gave me unlock code for sim cards, lost my root with last upadte too.
Any help ?
Did it also occur on Gingerbread firmware?
Didn't try with GB, it happened when on ICS .562, SEUS update to .431 didn't fix the problem.
I have the same problem with my Xperia Ray.
It already happened on GB and now also on ICS.
The screen stays black if you try to wake it up after standby (doesn't matter if power button or home button ).
This happens around 80% of the time.
The only things that help are: Waiting a few minutes, taking out the battery, or hitting the power button like crazy and eventually the screen will show up again after around 10 times on and off.
I brought my phone to the service center of the shop 3 times and every time they tell me they won't repair or switch it because the hardware looked fine in their opinion (they don't switch it on there, the one time I showed them the switched on phone with the error, they told me they could see the problem but as long as nothing inside is broken 'it's not their problem' . I told my lawyer and now he is trying to get me a replace phone.
The problem even comes right after you factory reset so I don't think it's an app.
It happens without the sd card in.
I had an different homescreen launcher installed around the time it first happened, but I removed it and it still happened and I factory reseted and it still happened. So I think it has nothing to do with that?
I tried software repair with the SE Update Service and it told me everything was alright.
Does someone around here have an idea what could be the cause?
I brought it to SFR customer service (here in france) 2 time, the 2 time they just downgrade it to GB, diagnostic was "update problem". They didn't take in consideration what I told them.
One of the shop employee told me that the third time normally they have to replace it by another one. If they don't want to change it I think I'll mess up their shop...
This even happens on Xperia Mini
when ever i try to wake it up by pressing Home button or Power button
it takes about 3-5 seconds to wakeup
it should be instant isn't it?
I also experienced 2 times that even pressing
all the buttons doesn't wakes up the screen
but only back light, then i have to restart the
phone by removing the battery.:crying:
Me too !
I have tha same problem !! I can't take it esay..It's bad thing in my Idea! very disgusting :crying:
I've got the same delays on my Lww, sometimes my phone doesn't wake up at all, and sometimes it takes several seconds. I haven't found any solution for it, but it seems to be a Sony-specific problem.
Sent from my Transformer Pad TF300T using xda app-developers app
I have also the same problem from some days
tried to reset all with flashtool with no luck
the problem is also during kernel loading,tried different kernel,logo and cw doesn't appear 90%times
if someone is able to read in logcat file I have attached one here
thanks for any help
me also

I turned the sound for messages and phone calls back on. On 'silent' the phone just vibrated.
It hasnt fixed the problem of the black screen completely, but it is happening a lot less for me.
Finally I brought my Xperia Ray to the shop where I got it for the third time.
I bought it 159 Euros in december 2011 (plus Sony gave me 50E back) and they refunded 270 Euro in november 2012 !
Not exactly a refund because I had to choose another mobile, so I took the Xperia T which was 430euro, so I had to pay 160 E for the XT.
Good deal for replacement of a one year old mobile ! Only problem is that I can't unlock the BL.
It is a strange hardware problem since the screen can eventually be turned back on, so maybe it is something in the firmware that is screwed up and doesn't get completely fixed by SUS. If I were you guys I would try this fix: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1492805
It may not work, but it is better than throwing your Ray in the trash.
I have the same problem. My phone (xperia ray) after standby or after reboot has black screen with backlight. At first waiting for couple of seconds and trying to wakelock would solve the problem, after few weeks to wake up my phone I needed it to reboot (pulling out the battery). Now I need few reboots to start the device with screen on.
I found workarounds like Llama combined with Nightclock (both from Google Play) for the screen never goes off, but this eats battery and also sometimes the screen would go off. I don't believe its a hardware problem because with this workaround the phone is usable few days (until Llama delay the "events").
Found a way to make a logcat from starting the device. Two are for unsuccessful startups (black screen with backlight) and one for successful (screen on).
I think the problem is in the kernel for not loading drivers, but someone who knows to read logcat will tell us/me for sure. I can't flash new kernel because the phone is with Bootloader locked (Bootloader unlock allowed: NO).
Kernel version is 2.6.32.9-perf
Stock Rom 4.1.B.0.587
rooted
PS. Sorry for my english its not my native language.
Just to add one or two more informations: even with black screen and backlight the phone is usable, like I can answer on calls, it vibrates when I slide to unlock... I also thought the problem is in proximity sensor, but if it was that case the touchscreen would be locked.
If you fully discharge the battery and after switch on,it start normally?

I never tried full discharge of battery. I will try that and post the result.
Ok, I'm posting this here cuz I'm not sure if it's in this ROM or in the S3 no matter what ROM. I can't even find ANY reference to this, nor anyone who even knows what the hell I'm talking about, so here goes....
My S3 seems to have a 'butterfingers' feature. It has had it for as long a I remember... If I fumble around like I'm gonna drop it, it locks out all the touch buttons until I press power and cycle the screen off and back on. (Not the power, just the screen. It's NOT FROZEN, it simply disables the touch screen and menu/back) It was never a problem until I tried to load btcontroller. The fast movements of gaming trigger the damn thing every 30 seconds or so of play. Also does it on emu's like NES and such. It's damn frustrating to try to play a game and have the 'controller' randomly lock itself out! I was running wickedv7, and just went to wickedv9.1, no change.
Is this a feature or a defect? Is it in every ROM, or just in Wicked? Can I turn the bloody thing off? WTF? Thanks...
that's a defect
Try flashing stock Rom and see if you still have problem...if yes, then probably hardware, if no, then almost certainly software
Hey,
i am having some trouble with my Le Max 2. My screen does not wake up anymore, but the phone is still active. This especially takes place, when the screen is off for more than 5 minutes or so. Then i only get a black screen and hear the unlocking noise, but i cannot see the content any more. Backlight is working, but only a black screen. Whatsapp Web, etc. still works when the screen wont turn on. The only thing i can do then is to press the power for 10s to force a restart. Then everything works like a charm until the screen is of for a specific time.
I already flashed new ROMs (RR Nougat, MIUI Marshmallow) both dirty and clean. Also did multiple full wipes. problem is still there. Anybody of you already had something similar?
Do you think its HW or SW related?
Thank you so much

I tried going back to stock. But i am pretty sure now its some HW issue. The screen just wont turn on when the phone itself is cold. When i pull it out of my pocket and its kinda warm, it works like a charm.
But if it is sitting on the table / i have it in my hands outside - the screen wont turn on anymore. If its too cold it wont even reboot...
Stange problem - could there be any loose solderings or something?
