I bought Xperia x10 from a guy who said that he flashed it and it after two weeks it turned off and didnt turn on. I got new battery and it turned on, but after 5 minutes it turns off again. I brought it to service and after 5 minutes they said its motherboard problem..I dont believe that cause i flashed it again with SE Pc Companion and it worked 12 hours playing songs...I tried to look some pictures and it turned off.. When it turns off I need to pull out the battery and wait 2-3 minutes to turn it again..Weird thing that I noticed is that Sometimes it turns off and it shows 00:00 time and battery about 70% and sometimes with time 7:40 and battery 40% and when it turns on with time 7:40 it turns off in 1-2 minutes.. Seems like it has dualboot or something.

try to charge your battery and reinstall phone with update service. http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/tools/update-service/ . Sometimes PC Companion cant help. I had simmilar problem that reinstall andorid tought PC Companion causes me bootloop but update service always worked for me.

Try to flash stock firmware using flashtools ,may help.
Sent From My BEAST , I mean X8
I already tried using flashtool...and i tried SEUS few hours ago and my phone still shuts down
Well there is something with these phones. I also have one that turns of by itself. Changed battery, installed stock ROM, however problem still exist. With new battery works much longer. When not fiddling with it works as it should. I guess the problem can be in motherboard, probably when using data transfer or just viewing pictures some element get high temperature so it shuts down to reduce risk of more damage. When your X10 shuts down? When downloading data, taking pictures or play something (when it needs more power consume) or even when it's lying on a table? Anyone have a service manual for X10?
it restarts randomly..sometimes when booting..sometimes when listening music..i also think that it is overheating..because i need to leave phone cooldown to turn it again
Short circuit maybe?
Sent from my X10i using xda premium
What you mean by short circuit, I mean I know what this mean but do you know where on the MB it can be or you just guessing? I doubt that can be a reason cause in that case phone probably won't turn on.
Well if it has ever had moisture in the phone from rain,etc. It could have made it to were you don't have enough power there for shuts down randomly
Sent from my X10i using xda premium
Well mine wasn't disposed to humidity. Even the sticker that is clear, didn't change colour. I've found service manual for X10 if someone needs it I can upload. However it doesn't state that case, checked the possible steps with no luck. Noticed that there are only basic steps to check like checking the button flex tapes etc. It only states that in case faulty main PCB service should replace it preparing before steps to program new one. I guess they mean writing IMEI and so on, as there are instructions for printing a new label in manual. I'm quite sure that problem is with connections on board. Now I'm trying to fix it my way if it works I'll write how to. If not I'll probably be a new owner of a paperweight... Wish me luck.
I wish you luck! I've had the burden of my old sidekick 4g continue to reboot and shutdown caused by the circuits.

So far so good works stable from 2 am GMT+1 til now. So here is my solution of the problem.
But first if you follow it I don't take any responsibility if something goes wrong, it didn't work for you or you kill your phone!
It worked for my specific case and might not work for other.
1. As I stated before I checked all possible mechanical problems like flex, connectors, replaced battery etc. So just in case do the same.
2. You'll need these tools (I've used them probably there can be better)
- torx t6 screwdriver
- an old sim card
- alluminium foil (ordinary foil that is used for packing food or something)
- an oven I've used regular free stand kitchen with it
3. use torx and sim card to dispatch X10 ( you probably done it when checking flex cables etc.)
4. get the main PCB from the cover, disconnect cmos camera, leave only PCB
5. rip off all stickers on it (white under battery, and the black ones on the electromagnetical shields on backward, also remove the copper ones)
6. As I stated before here comes the meritum problem lies in a BGA chip, I've taken solution from old problems with Nvidia cards where the BGA connections with time needs reballing. So the solution was to heat it to temperature where tin bond (the tin balls) will melt. But before you need to protect other components not to fry. To do so use the foil to cover all the components that should be protected. I've made 3 layers of it. Leave uncovered only one shield - that with copper sticker, bigger one as there are two.
7. You can remove the backup battery from PCB before but I don't know what will happen if you do so (I didn't), there is a risk it explodes
8. I preheated my oven to 210 Celsius degrees
9. Lie layered PCB on a plate
10. Put a plate with PCB to the oven (i put it on top of it)
11. Leave it inside for 10 minutes
12. Fingers crosed, pray or whatever you want.
13. Turn the oven off. I opened it a litle bit for 3 or five minutes to slow cooldown and next opened it about a half for ca 25 minutes, next get the plate from it and wait another 20 minutes till complete cooldown.
14. mount all together, the stickers should be usedd new ones but i didn't have them so used the old ones.
15. have faith and turn Xperia on. If all goes as it should and the problem was the BGA you should have now a fully working Xperia. Enjoy it!
Hope it may help some others. And I write it simple to understand, if not sorry I'm not native English speaker. If you have questions ask, I'll try to answer as good as I can.
And once again remember that cooking with Xperia is a dangerous and can kill your phone so think if you really want to do this.
Glad it went well

Wow. And 7 days later????? hows it going???
I have no problems with my XPERIA X10i (other than my own actions), but I'm always interested to understand different solutions to common problems.
Still works like a charm Only one thing I noticed it sometimes cant load a picture (photo) in gallery but this might be just a SD card problem. It just shuts down image viewer. Beside that I didn't noticed any problems with it.
Edit: For now it still works, Probably it will last as is, I hope so. But to be honest I fried 2 days ago a motorola phone it didn't lasted that try. But it was bought just for tests and phone was dying (don't know phone history but AFAIK it was after heavy underwater adventure as i saw its main PCB), it didn't lasted that try. Now it's not giving any sign of life, however it did them before when plugged a charger. Just to be honest and beware the brave ones. I did fried my x10 as I didn't have any to lose

Super noob here. brand newe to all things flash Rom and what not. This HD2 will be my first phone purchased for the purpose of modding however...
After doing a search for the words heat and hot I was not able to find much, and the wiki is down
So my first post is has anyone ran into the isse of the LED blinking green and orange and slow to no charge while plugged into the wall? To the point where it no longer charges?
I work in tech support and ive never seen anything like it outside of my gateway laptop.
I was running the stock ROM no mods yet outside of the Android mod that is being developed. i have master reset the thing easliy 10+ times in the few days ive had it though im not aware of constant reseting having a negative effect.
Basically on my way home while sitting in my console in the car I went to use it and noticed it was warm past comfortable warm. I had not used it for extended periods like hours of browsing wifi calls or using the phone hard.
I went to charge it 20 min later and it got really hot again after only being on the charger for 15-20 min and had only charged up to %15 from %13.
Took out everything let it sit overnight same thing the next day, tried a new battery and charger ( even though the battery was barely warm it is hot all along the bottom half on the back and going up the sides) and still had the same problem taking hour or 2 to charge 2-5 % and staying very hot with no use.
Im at a loss as to what to think any ideas?

Heat will cause what you are seeing, but also check and make sure that one of your battery pins is not bent, seems to be a common problem ..
Also have seen a few people that their battery was just bad , and they had to get a new one shipped in .....

Sure cant make any promises but Ill be happy to answer any question I can. I work in Teir 3 PDA support so all of my knowledge is tech based. Ill look up the task29 stuff Im not too familiar with that.
since you have already tried a different battery, and if the pins aren't bent, then its likely to be the phones charging circuits. get it warranty replaced.

I checked and didnt see it any bent pins they spring out just fine when removing the battery and apon inspection seem to be fine. One of the 1st things was for me to try a battery in hopes that it was that simple but to no avail
More information for those that care. The battery has been out now for a full 24 along with the sim.
I got home today and put the battery back in no sim memory card stil in. After being on for 8 min the back is far beyond warm.
The memory card is not recognized and I am certain it was before. This is getting weirder and weirder.
I wonder if it has anything to do with me trying to run the android mod off of a 2GB card that im sure was a class 2 and below, then master resetting it and going back to the 16GB that came with it?
More to come as i try new things.
Now the high temperatures in Austria cause the same problems on my HD2 when navigating in my car. HD2 after 2-5 minutes blinks orange-green (no loading) and after maximum 10-15 minutes crashes and at home too (my little office room has no AC, is in direct sunlight and room temp is over 30°C.
Unfortunately I have to rely on phone, email and office-functions and on navi-function for my upcoming vacation. No solution to place the HD2 in AC-stream in my car with this stupid original HTC-Car-Navi-Holder, in the office I have to put it in the fridge before to get it recharged.
When driving in the heat of noon I don´t even have to switch it on, just mounting into the loading-cradle is enough to make the HD2 crash after 10-15 minutes, only 3G on, nothing else (no BT, WiFi, HSPA, no app running etc.)
Until now I was quite satisfied with the HD2, had no crashes or malfunctions so far, but now I am really fed up with this piece of sh.. and I don´t think there will be a hardware or software-solution (except swichting it off) since the HD2 is malconstructed. And it IS correlated with ambient temps since it started to happen only when ambient temp is higher than 30 °C. When I am in a AC-room everything woks normal again.
i think i figured it out! i took out the sd and used the phone for 20 min or so. the heat gradually went away and its no longer getting hot. i am currently posting from the hd2 with a standard 2gb card inserted and will test my 8 and 16gnarled card today.
there is an issue with certain sd cards not being "officially supported"....
I read a post on here earlier from somebody saying that their 16gb card was causing their battery to drain fully in a matter of hours because audio manager was constantly working through numerous gb's of music on the card.........
may be completely unrelated to your problem but since you mentioned the card I thought Id chip that in..........
Hope you find a solution.....
Hi guys,
I seem to have a problem with my X10i, it randomly turns off by it self, below are the times in which ive noticed this:
Phone is charging and i am texting at the same time or talking for like 5 mins and then turns off
phone charging and it gets too hot and it turns off
phone turns off when hot generally,
i play a racing game for 20 mins and it turns off.
When it turns off it tries to reboot, it boot it s then turns off again, i have to take the battery appart, wait for 10 mins plug it back in and turn it on.
This gets annoying as it shouldn't really do this and its not as if i put my phone on top of the radiator in order for it to get hot.
Please help
Ps. it did this on android 1.6 and 2.1 so that didnt fix it.
Regards
Well, this is definitely a hardware problem... you should return it to warranty or try and get it robbed to activate insurance if you have one... lol

Hey,
Thanks for the reply, i have also noticed that when the phone turns off it make a small clicking noise.
Thanks for the suggestions but im in greece and i have no insurance cover and the phone was given as a gift so i don't know what is up with the warranty.
Totally a Hardware problem... Just take it to the nearest SE Repair. It'll cost you though.. :\ They Charge really high if u dnt have wwarranty.
Any ideas on which hardware could be causing this? do you reckon it could be just the battery getting too hot? or something else?
You will still have warranty even if it's gifted (through imei )
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Oh nice i hope that is the case, i 'm not sure if its been a year though, how long does the warranty cover?
One year. Warranty is for one year and two years on special contract basis if i'm not wrong.
If your phone keeps restarting, (Heating) another issue could be wrong (or high) OC settings (like setcpu to high values) or something. Which fw are you running atm?
Try reflashing to Stock and see if the same thing happens?
I had the similar issue , I flashed it to Wolfs 2.2 switched off the mobile, Removed battery and let it cool down. After sometime it fixed the issue by itself

I DON'T KNOW HOW TO FLASH, i have seen tutorials but everytime i set my phone to usb debugging mode it over heats and turns off
Have nearly same problems. Looks like you have fuel gauge ic problems, max17040, to be exact. Or Qualcomm PM7540 power distribution ic, which is much worthier. Does your battery level changes sometimes after that glitches, and returns to normal after battery re-installation?

yes that does happened sometimes, the battery is on red and the phone crashes, but then when i take the battery out and plug it back in after 10 mins i get a white bar in the battery so in theory it has more battery than when it crashed.
well my phone got wet on the back with a case, then i took off the case it and the back which was all wet, the battery was wet to and so was under it, i took out the battery and dried every thing and it worked, everything did, the speakers and buttons. so later today the phone just shut off and wouldnt turn on. so i thought it died and i tried charging and just the light would flicker on the top left of the phone. so i put it in rice for about 5 hours and i put battery back on and now when i press the the power button. the screen just turns on like u can see light, just a black screen. then it goes away.
the battery has some green stuff on one of the gold things that conencts your batteries.
So i oredered another battery off of ebay, do you think that would fix it?
Thank you so much for reading this, just post your opinion on what happend.

Hope it works dude, water damage is pretty random depending on how wet it got. For the future, it would have been better to have taken out the battery and put it in rice immediately...
yap
a friend of mine forgot his phone in the pocket and it got washed by a washing mashiene
he brought it to a phone store and they put the phone into a blue liquide and after that iot worked properly
the green things on the contact came because u put it under voltage due it was wet the water got split into its parts (electrolysis)
i had the same problem with an mp3 player years ago lights went on but nothing else i think u broke ure phone but just leave it for a week or so and try again with the new battery
i hope for it will work
So actually, most phones phone should operate fine on net power and without a battery. Have you tried this? If it behaves the same as you described, I would not spend a dime on it ;-)
Bad luck btw ;-/
Hey guys i know this might not be very useful but hahahahah yesterday night me and some friends of mine were drinking outside near the main river in frankfurt hahahah and drunken girl got 8€ for jumping into the river xD
she did it ( i couldnt believe this xDDDDD i´d never done this )
Afterwards she recognized her galaxy ace in her pocket....
well it got wet
later on in her flat she repowered the phone and everthing worked fine expect the micro usb slot on her device xD
Well jfi xD
Try removing the battery and battery cover and completely submerging in 99% isopropyl alcohol (You can get it at most grocery stores, pharmacies, etc.) for a few hours. At this point the phone should work as normal again, but to be on the safe side take a box of rice and submerge your phone in the rice. Leave it their for a day or two and you should be good to go. Hope this helps.
i might try it myself as my phone has water damage on it as well
9 times out of 10 in my line of work, usually when the screen backlight turns on but doesnt display anything means its done for. I have seen customers with phones that got soaked and they lasted a couple of days but then stopped working... My best guess is that the water was still inside the phone and shorted out one of the small circuits inside. Good luck though i hope you can get it working.

Hello community.
I have a serious problem and i want your help.I read all the articles about dropped in water but i can't solve my problem. So i am starting from the beginning.
Yesterday my phone was dropped in the toilet for 2-3 sec (stupid i know). I took it, i remove immediately all the parts (battery, sim, external sd) and i start blow with hairdrier (mistake i know) after 2-3 hours i try to switch on the phone with no result so i continue my stupidity... I connect the phone on the charger with no result but as i noticed the back of the phone was warming. After that i read the articles (the first correct thing). So i put the phone in a rice inside a Tupperware and i wait for 8 hours. Then i start the phone and WOW it was working fine for only 10 sec. Then a battery message appear that i must charge the phone and the screen went black but the sounds and the touch was working. So i close the phone and i put it in the charger ( i know,,, i know...) After 10 min i remove the phone from the charger because was warming. I tried to switch on but the screen continue to be black and the sounds and the touch working... So i remove again everything and i put it in the rice again until today 2 hours ago.
I switch the phone and the phone started and the screen working except 1/4 of the screen in the above right place. So i close the phone and i put it in the rice again.... I noticed that when the phone is closed there is difference in colour between the black screen that working and the black part that is not working. So after again 2 hours in the rice i noticed that the black screen that is not working start to expanded in the left top side of the phone... and i am wondering, this thing is a water or something from the screen liquid?
Please help me if you can. I will appreciate your help.

I don't know if anyone can help you, it is a smelly affair.
If you were using some kind of disinfectant inside of your toilet (especially the smell of the sea or green apple) you have a huge problem.
More seriously, the layers of the screen stratify from each other. You can only replace whole screen, but I suppose that the rest of your phone also will die sooner or later.
Sell it as defective. Repair will be too expensive.

Dear friend i appreciate your knowledge and i want to inform you that inside the toilet their was NOT any kind of disinfectant inside.
Any suggestion except of sell it as defective???
Okay, don't be nervous, just kidding.
No, unfortunately there is nothing you can do yourself, only replace faulty screen. You just can't stick your digitizer to screen with somekind homemade tricks. And I don't want to worry you, but I'm afraid that there will be also micro corosion on your phone motherboard.
If you really want to try to reanimate it, than you must take it apart, dry all components with rice method or better by using special adhesive liquid used in electronic to remove all wet.
If the glue from the screen has not been rinsed completly than you can try to squeeze layers by placing a book or something heavyweight and flat on top and simultaneously heat it with a hair dryer. Repet this operation few times without taking out weight.
I really doubt that this will help much but if you really wish to try than go ahead. You can always sell it after that. Even in parts.
There is somewhere on this forum instruction how to unscrew i9100 completly.
Good luck.

Before try your tricks my friend i am informing you that the whole screen went black.... (Ohhhhh).
I just want to know.
The screen was broken or there is water inside the screen? (If you know)
Where car i sell the phone for parts or as a defective? (i ll give a try at ebay but if you know somewhere else give me a hint)
Thanks again guys :angel:
Theres guys on here that have went swimming with their phones and they still work.Youd only get about £130 max on eBay for the phone if you admit its water damaged.
Youd be better soaking the phone in that alcohol stuff then drying it via rice for a week.
What can you get for £130.....

So after again 2 hours in the rice i noticed that the black screen that is not working start to expanded in the left top side of the phone... and i am wondering, this thing is a water or something from the screen liquid?
Please help me if you can. I will appreciate your help.

I had a nokia once which fell in water, I pulled the battery out dried it with a cloth and put it back in and the screen flashed so I turned off, put it in rice for 24hrs then it worked great except there was some water on the screen from inside.

Hello community.
I have a serious problem and i want your help.I read all the articles about dropped in water but i can't solve my problem. So i am starting from the beginning.
Yesterday my phone was dropped in the toilet for 2-3 sec (stupid i know). I took it, i remove immediately all the parts (battery, sim, external sd) and i start blow with hairdrier (mistake i know) after 2-3 hours i try to switch on the phone with no result so i continue my stupidity... I connect the phone on the charger with no result but as i noticed the back of the phone was warming. After that i read the articles (the first correct thing). So i put the phone in a rice inside a Tupperware and i wait for 8 hours. Then i start the phone and WOW it was working fine for only 10 sec. Then a battery message appear that i must charge the phone and the screen went black but the sounds and the touch was working. So i close the phone and i put it in the charger ( i know,,, i know...) After 10 min i remove the phone from the charger because was warming. I tried to switch on but the screen continue to be black and the sounds and the touch working... So i remove again everything and i put it in the rice again until today 2 hours ago.

Hello, So i had my Xperia X dropped in the pool, when my friend decided to "play" and check if it's waterproof phone, the slot was closed and the phone was protected with an external cover.
He dropped the phone and it hit the water, there was no water-shock or what so ever, it was a seamless hit without any shakes, so im pretty sure its not the reason the water got in.
I had the phone out after it went in, it was on for few seconds, and i put it outside then. A minute later, the phone went off and i just checked if it's 100% off, i went home and put it in the rice.
This was a week ago, now the phone is still not working at all, the water is pretty much out. When i put the phone in the charger, the red charging dot/light blinks every second, like it blinks and fades out and re-does the blinking...etc
I don't know if that means there's still water inside, or the phone needs to be opened and checked.
The most important thing is, i have important data on the phone, and if i send the phone to the customer support, the warrant won't cover it and pretty sure everything will be wiped out, Any suggestions for the blinking and does the support wipe everything or?
Hi!
Is the phone rooted and have TWPR ?
Dumme Sache...
Is it an Xperia X or Xperia X Performance?
I may be wrong but only the Performance model was advertised as being water resistant...

Normally the xperia x shouldn't die from water. But whats the depth and how much time did it spend?
The thing is, if water got in and STAYED in and then you tried to power it on, it may be fried. If you did not try to power it on at all untill making sure all the water is out it would be working I believe. Well if you are out of warranty I can't really recommend to open it but what other choice do you have?
