Hi.
I bought an Xperia Mini. ST15i, build number 4.0.2.A.0.62, not rooted. android version 2.3.4.
When I work with it about 5 minutes it begins vibrating. I think it happens when the device warms.
I searched in the internet and figured out that upgrading to android 4 will fix the problem but it is too battery consuming and reduces speed. I don't want to upgrade.
How can I solve this problem?
Thanks
Just take it to Sony service center... Its a know haptic feedback bug due to overheating... The SE service center will fix it for free...
Or just search for its fix on Google... Its quite easy to fix it manually
Edit: you don't need to upgrade to ICS... it can be fixed on GB
Moved to Q&A
not all can fixed by ICS
i have xperia mini and upgraded to ics but still got problem
but mine is little different..
when only plugged and hold the touchscreen and became randomly pressing..
and i dont have randomly pressing back keys/menu/home
only randomly pressing touchscreen
but when unplugged its became normal..

After installing the 2.1 official update from SE, some of you may be in trouble, here some known x10 problems:
[1. HARDWARE ]
1.1 OBSERVATION
- random crashes & restarts
- can't read sim, no sim card inserted
- crashing due to charging
- a burning smell inside the phone
1.2 EVENT
- when the phone is hot (like using it when throwin' a party, texting in bed,...)
- when the phone's cpu is heavily used
google maps
playing games
watching movies
live-wallpapers is turned on
- when charging the phone
1.3 DESCRIPTION
- After getting the update, the phone starts to crash every few minutes. The activity that causes it to crash, is random and can be anything, from a simple call to a simple sms-ing or even just browsing around the phone's function.
(If anyone has this similar problem, please report, so it can become more clear how many people have this problem)
1.4 SOLUTION
- A new motherboard fixes the solution
- Your phone must be send in to a 3rd level center to get the motherboard replaced! (they only replace the motherboard when repaired 3 times)

Update your handsfree (parrot= piece of cake with bluetooth!)
Use a home replacement[/B]
Use other rom:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=678513

Please give me some details about your build number & country?
So far no problem with my phone after upgrading of 2.1, my phone is upgraded at the service centre.

same problem, hope it will be fixed.......
No issue here, phone runs perfectly since 2.1 update.
Are you sure it's not because of the JIT Hacks ? Because that's definitely unstable.
JIT hacks? It was updated official, twice... & two times tha same problem occurred

Yep. Definitely didn't use the JIT hack.
I do occasionally have this problem. Mainly if I have the phone plugged in while on the phone, doing anything else with the phone while on the phone or sometimes even when I'm not on the phone but the phone is plugged in... it'll just reboot.
Pisses me off seriously. I've formatted this phone many times.. I've formatted the SD Card many times. Its annoying as hell.
I had JIT but reflashed.
In the beginning I believed it was JITs fault but i still have reboots daily.
Abot 2 or 3 of them daily.
And o have FC from gmail storage and gmail app.

Well, that's another 2 back-2-back booting. As soon as the phone was done loading. About to unlock and boom. Crashed and booted.

wow, can I conclude it has to do with the battery? WTF?!
I'm using android 2.1. The device suddenly Turn Off, the only way to turn it on is by remove the battery.
After that i upgraded it to android 2.2 using KIES, the same problem still happen.
Need help, Please.
can 't understand your problem please mention more details(it turned off when you are running a specific app. or doing a specific action and when it turns off you mean that never turns on again unless you remove the battery ) and i 'd like to know if your phone is a middle east version because i 'm from Egypt and my phone version like you i5503 and it has no firmware except the 2.1 version and its sucks

While I did not had this issue with stock 2.1.1 ROM, I had it with 2.2 (tested with NEE, XEU & PHB). After putting the battery back in and restarting the phone, my icons and widgets just disappeared from all of my virtual desktops on device. After trying to browse all my installed apps I go the loading beach ball of death. I've waited for half an hour and finally fixed the issue with a factory reset. No it was not the redraw lag... icons just disappeared and refused to appear again no matter how much I waited for them The same thing also happened after my phone self-restared itself without any intervention from my side
It looks like it could be a better idea to stick with the MAD Team releases of FroYo which have some issues fixed. As for me - I switched back to 2.1.1 even it is somewhat limited by features comparing to FroYo. It was maybe some incompatible app that messed up my FroYo, but it is strange that one week after going back to 2.1.1 I had no issue like this even using the same apps. Time will show ;-)
To moderator : double posting. could you please remove this one...
i have same problem with my Galexy 5 (GT-I5503),my phone randomly power down,my firmware version is 2.1-update1

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
i have the latest xperia neo v with gb.. today after using my camera, it suddendly restarted. bt when i swiped the lockscreen it doesnt work..so i was not able to switch off the phone also. then it started getting heated up.. so i removed my battery. when i searched the net, someone said i should be updated with ics inorder to bring back the touch.so i updated my mobile using pc companion to ics.. but the result is the same.. my touch is not sensing at all and im not able to go to the home screen ..what to do now??somebody please help... :-(
i think you should get it checked by service center as everything possible is done by you and also we cannot do something else so get it checked
Going to service center can only help you.

Hello guys
My Sony Xperia Sola was perfect until i updated to ICS. ICS is very fast,smooth and beautiful software but since then i am experiencing a wifi problem. My wifi get frozen and stuck to connected. I can't disconnect it. The only way to disconnect it is to switch of the phone. I foundnd a "solution" to this problem. Problem seems to disappear if you make a factory reset of the phone. But after a week it comes again. It's so annoying. My "solution" is to make back up-and restore once a week to avoid the problem. If i didn't do the factory reset problem comes again. Is there any solution to this issue? I heard a lot who have this problem after updated to ICS(problems appears and to xperia u)
Thank you

Please post Q&A in the appropriate section next time

Change the wireless interface on your router to be 802.11 b/g only - not b/g/n
that helped me!!
sola wifi prob
i have the same problem, i restart, format, anything, but the wifi still doesn't turns on.

i had formatted my phone at least 3times today...
can any1 tell me y???
and how to fix it???

flash ur device using flash tool, it can be found in the forum too, and it shall be fine after that, just dont know that how long it can last...
same issue
I completely understand the original post.
I don't want to bother with any routers, 'cause it had been working fine before. It mustn't be a question of router settings.
Some software upgrade of the phone might have caused this problem and I'm still waiting for any reply from Sony on this. If they don't do anything in a month I'm gonna push this **** device to a repair station, though I don't feel much desire for the mess that comes with this procedure.
Generally the phone is very slow (and sometimes it opens the phonebook instead of call list, sometimes it take 10 secs, etc.), I wanna get rid of it but I have to wait till the end of my telephony contract's period.
