Hi! I've an issue on my xperia mini pro.
More than often the back key (which is a touch sensitive key) stops working.
I can't resolve this definitely. Things I tried:
- reset settings (does not work)
- total reset (works for a couple of weeks than the problem comes back)
- killing services with android system cleaner (works sometimes, I see that maybe is related to the process "Home of sony ericsson" -the stock launcher v2.1.x)
- switched to go launcher ex (worked for a full day, the problem came back)
- prevent various apps and services to startup (did not work)
- remove various apps and services (didn't work)
- update firmware to 2.3.4 (only solved the problem of the black screen that won't unlock)
what in the world should I do to fix this tedious issue?
tnx for answers, forgive me for my spaghetti english

restart or luck/unlock does not work.
Can you give me the link to the rom you installed? Works for me? (italy)
Must i root the phone before installing it?
tnx

Rom is pre-rooted, you will need to unlock bootloader and flash a different kernel.
Hardware keyboard will not be working, you'll need to get the files from the CM7 stable build for this.
I would not endorse going down this route unless you want to be running CM7 anyway, and there is no guarantee it will help.

thank you! You're right: I don't want to flash the previous version just to set up cm7! Not cause I don't like it but because with the previous version of the stock kernel I was having a much more big problem: the black screen (some others had the same problem).
Maybe I'll go on this way, waiting for ICS hoping it'll fix up everything!
btw, how's my english?
Maybe u r sweating or ur finger is kinda wet when u press it,our phone is unresponsive to fluid,except u buy an active
xperia mini pro! not active!
that would be true for the settings key too!
I think is a sort of bug of the rom... I'm getting it very often! damn!
I noticed that sometimes the screen light "shakes", like a vibration, and so the lights behing the touch keys...
the light sensor reacts to reflections of the light and shadows I make when using the phone. This is a minor thing but the back key sometimes makes really hard using the phone!

After I've Locked/ or it Auto-Locked the screen by itself, i'd find it rather annoying that after a while, it would randomly switch on and off and on again, (normally 5-7 times continuesly).
This is draining my battery life, as well as my patience... please help!
any solution?

so, are you using a custom or stock rom? are you rooted? do you have any mod? it would be great if you can add some information like android version too
Whatever, if you don't have any mod or custom rom, it's maybe an app who is making bad function.
Sorry but my english it's not so good
I have noticed this too, come back to my phone to see it illuminated,
stock ICS rom generic.
+1 with this problem and today it happened few times at least!
hello i have the same problem with my XPERIA U. full stock..non rooted..

Yes it's the widget I too had this problem and it was the HD widget that was acting culprit. So just disable automatic location service. If you don't have this widget do this for the widgets u have installed that needs location for example weather widgets. Hope this helps. Regards.

Hi my Neo V is on the Official ICS 4.0.4 with Alliance kernel,
and the LED notification is not working well.
It only works normally for missed call.
Not working for SMS or whatsapp notifications.
I have tried some third party app such as LightFlow, but the LED blinks ONLY WHEN THE SCREEN IS ON.
Does anyone experienced the same problem?
I think it's a bug of stock 4.0.4.
works for me. try repair your phone with PCC.

I'm now using I-Scream_11i_431 with is based on stock ICS 4.0.4,
and the problem still exists,
I wonder if it could be a kernel problem.
Mine is also behaving strangely. Stock 4.0.4.

That's very strange, not all of the Xperia phone user experienced the same problem,
some of them claims their LED works normally.
As I see, most of the users experienced this problem are using Xperia Ray
Mine (Xperia Neo with 4.1.B.0.431 global flashed with Flashtool) has the same problem.
LED notifications work right only if screen is on... with screen off, LED notifications are not working (tested with standard SMS messages, Whatsapp messages and K9 mail messages).
Want my LED back
same problem for me, i flash with flashtool, another error that i find is the connection of wifi its not permanetly
Im waiting that my SI number appers on the page to repair the phone and reinstall ICS

Hi.
Same here.
I get the Update via PC-Companion, so that should be a "official" bug from SE.
Greets,
Marco
same problem... on stock 4.0.4 MT15
screen on, LED notification,,
screen off, no LED notification,,
third part reminder apps not working either
updated via Flashtool
Lightflow LED notifications NOT working at all for me on 4.0.4 (on my LT18i -ARC-S) .. I think we're looking at a Sony bug here guys.
Not working on mine as well. It's time to wait for another update
Sent from my MT11i using XDA
I downgraded to 4.0.3 ... I bet Sony won't fix this until 4.0.5!
I too exactly had the same problem ..enter into the service menu by*#*#78275496#*#* And test ur led ...if u can see all colours glowing ,then its generic bug of ics
Sent from my MT11i using xda premium
I had the same bug. Led light only turns on when the screen is on.
I Update via PC-Companion, and i think its an official bug from Sony.
I do hope this will be fixed on 4.0.5 as soon as possible.
i got this bug too.
hope sony will fix this soon!

For me, the LED notification does not work until I unlock it once. Then, it will blink for that notification even if I lock it again.

Hi!
I'm using a recent CM9 nightly with default kernel.
I would like to have your opinion : about 3/4 a week my SGS3 is "stuck" when it's locked : impossible to wake up using home or power button, the screen stays black.
The weird thing is that when it happens, the phone is not frozen : I can still hear music on the headphones and control volume using Up/Down buttons.
Sometimes I let it stuck and receive a notification some minutes later and the phone magically can be unlocked again, screen wakes when I push Home button.
Very weird and annoying when that happens.
My question is : what do you think it could be? An app? How can I debug this and know what prevents the screen to wake up when that happens?
Thanks.
Wipe and reflash the rom

Thanks, but is that the kind of easy answer you all tell when you don't know the exact answer?
When I installed CM9 a week ago, I did do a full wipe...
I think that next time it happens, I will try to connect my SGS3 on USB and do a adb logcat, maybe I'll find useful information.
Have you tinkered with any of the could settings or voltage settings?

Having a similar problem to yourself. Installed CM9 rom had a play and then went back to omegaV9 performing a full wipe using the instructions on this site before reflashing.
Since then when my phone is locked screen off then i unlock either via swipe or using security code (digits ) it looks like the phone unlocks but sort of does a warm boot with black screen for a few seconds with the two buttons down the bottom light up.
When it starts it looks like all the apps have stopped and are restarting again.
I re flashed again omega 9 thought i had it sorted but it started playing up again this evening.
If anyone has any ideas please post..
Hi, I'm a newbie here. I also exprience this problem with my samsung GT-i9300. I hoping to see a fix with this problem.
This forum has been so helpful to new android users. Thank you guys.
hey everyone
i am a noob. i know how to flash roms,kernels,code in the emulators and all but im not that much into the stuff coz i dont know that much
i am in desperate need of help here
my xperia mini pro has been facing a problem since sometime now
its display does not bbot up. the backlight works fine and so does everything else like the vibration and the led. everytime i start the phone there is the familiar vibration of startup my backlit keys also start. after that the screen is turned on but there is no text on it. the sony boot animation does not appear and neither does anything else. i have searched xda but i didnt find any thread like this. yes, there were a few which resembled it but none like this
it started a few months back when the screen would be working fine and sometimes when i would try and wake it up it wouldnt. i would just press the lock button a few more times and it would unlock after that the screen would come on. this started becoming more frequent and later on i had to reboot it . now my phone boots up but the screen is black. the backlight of the screen does turn on but nothing else appears. no boot animation, no text, no lockscreen nothing at all.
i havent thrown this phone on the ground and it hasnt fallen in water. i dont know what to do. please help !!!
