i have a SE mini ST15i. i got same problem. Help please!
tks
I had my unit for two weeks now and so far i've never encountered this problem even though i've been playing a lot of games for more than 30 minutes.
What color and build number are your mini's? You check it out at the back of the unit after you've removed the battery.
mine is 11W31 Mini ST15i Black
Mine got the problem after 2 weeks, mine is 11W29 Mini ST15i Black
i got the same problem too... its really annoying... hope someone wud come out with a solution,,...
So, during the first two weeks your phone was working perfectly. And only after having it more than two weeks then the problem starts?
I had my unit 2 weeks and 2 days now. and have not encountered the back menu malfunction.
Yup i given back to service center and got back with in a day now i was testing it for 3 days since no problem so lets c how it goes later after some days
it may be the overheat problem..... after charging for a couple of hours it happens..
if u dont experience it,, u r lucky...
have a look at this link.. http://talk.sonyericsson.com/message/111285#111285
Since I bought the unit I've been charging it overnight before I sleep and so far it doesn't overheat. I've read it in the manual that it was alright to charge it as often as you like.
It seems that the build of the touch pad of this model is defective, just like with their unit the G900 which also had a lot of complaints.

Hi guys,I bought a Xperia Mini Pro to my girlfriend.
Like my Xperia Mini has the worst touchscreen that I ever seen/touched.
Try to play Fruit Ninja is impossible,because the touchscreen lose your fingers.
If you draw a circle very fast with a paint app,it's lose your touch.
This is annoying when I navigate on the browser or scroll contacts and music.
Why no one has noticed this problem?
The only problem on your list that i noticed is with fruit ninja but the weird thing is that it's working well with the other app called fruit slice
That's the only problem i noticed about the touchscreen in 2 month of use (sk17)
otherwise I am quite satisfied.
I have Mini Pro (SK17i) and I still get nearly 1000 points in Fruit Ninja (Arcade Mode), not too much but I think it's not bad at all.
I advice you to download "Multi Touch Paint" and you will discover how malfunctioning this touchscreen.
Use this app in "Kids Mode" and made a continuos circle very fast.
In Xperia Mini there are some disconnects.
In Xperia Mini Pro the touch screen is crazy,because the pen is going where don't touch.
I dont know why are you having hard time with screens, but my Xperia mini works perfect, never had any problems with it

Because Fruit Ninja use multitouch while fruit slice use single touch.

I send it to Sony Ericsson Support,I hope that they can fix it.
Using an (constantly under RAM pressure) X8 at the moment I unfortunately have to agree that touchscreen responsiveness is noticeably inferior on both the mini and the mini pro. I noticed when using the device one handed, i.e. operating the screen with the thumb. Fast scrolling is nearly not possible. We're not talking about performance here, the device ist fast. It is about the digitizer being unable to register quick flings over a short distance.
To visualize this I tried Kids Paint Free. It simply draws gestures with random colors for each stroke. This is perfect to determine whether the digitizer has lost the finger: if it has, a new color will be drawn.
I drawed a couple of QUICK vertical up-down flings of about one inch length each at about four strokes per second. The X8 registered these correctly and displayed them at the given length. The mini (and also a mini pro I tried at a local store) registered only at most half an inch of the movement. If you increase gesture speed even further, some are being registered as taps (resulting in a dot being drawn)!
This is exactly what happens when scrolling around: it feels laggy, because you can't input a certain length of fling in a short time, i.e. "give power to the scroll". Occasionally you might even end up with a false tap where you actually wanted a scroll.
Another test is to start on the upper right corner an try to fill the whole screen by diagonally wiping to an fro until you reach the lower left corner. This will even end up in the digitizer not responding until you lift the finger again. It was not possible to fill the screen in one long gesture! Again no problem on the X8.
I returned my mini yesterday for this very reason, it renders the device unusable to me. A real pity, given the otherwise good specs of it.
Now: have I encountered defective devices? Can anyboy confirm? Is there a parameter to set some kind of progression like with mouse pointers on a PC?
You phone might have problem with heating and navigation keys. Keys are connected to screen, so every time you hold you finger on the screen, keys may react by themselves. Send it to service if you have warranty.
Its very strange that you have screen issues... I have sk17i and also try st15 in store. Feelings just awesome,
sensivity and speed is very good. No lag or stucks at all time. Maybe you sould return that one for warranty

If u cant live with sk17i,i recommend u to buy another phone
No offense,just saying
Touchscreen responsiveness Xperia Mini (Pro)
Hi all,
thank you for your input. Please don't blame the thread title, I didn't choose it and just didn't want to clutter the forum with another thread on the same topic.
Just for the right scope: my Mini did not overheat in any way, the two soft buttons worked perfectly. Also I'm not complaining about scrolling performance of the OS or the device. Once it scrolls, it does so smooth, lag-free and fast. I'm all about giving drive or momentum into quick (respectively short) strokes.
Please find two screenshots made with Kids Paint to illustrate what I mean. Sorry that I may not yet post image links. I'd be glad if anyone who is content with his or her digitizer performance could try the same on a their mini (pro)s. The APK is also attached.
Test case 1 (vertical flings):
Speed is absolutely of the essence. This screen has to be drawn in less than three seconds. There's no point in doing it slower, it will work. On the Minis I tried it was not possible to get the lines that long in the given time.
Test case 2 (screen fill):
Start at the upper right corner and fill the screen in one continuous stroke. Again, this has to be done in at most five seconds. I have not been able to do so, the Mini's digitizer lost my finger (new color drawn) and stopped completely reacting at about 3/4 of the screen.
I'd happily accept that I had devices from a defective lot and try another. I wouldn't invest time here on this issue if I didn't think that the Mini was THE phone for me (price- and spec-wise).

Maybe. Though I had expected SE to do at least as well as they did 1,5 years ago on the now outdated X8, wouldn't you?
Anyway, so does your comment mean your Mini Pro behaves the same way?

My daughter's xperia mini pro behaves the same way:-( Fast swype movements are not registered or misregistered to clicks. The problem is worsening, when the phone is on the charger. Overall, I am not satisfied with it, I will exchange it to an experia pro.

I have the same problem, and my touch buttons are not working properly either, and fast swyping is also terrible.

Hello,
I hope someone can help me (and I am in the right subforum).
My Girlfriend dropped the Xperia Pro into water, now the LCD has some nasty blur. The LCD itself works, but there seem to be something in front that blurs it (maybe only water).
Now I want to open it, but I cannot disconnect the upper panel from the back.
I do not know how to open the slider.
Can someone help me?
Thank you
Xperia Mini Pro_SK17_ Disassemble
here you go my friend!!! have fun...
Thank you vincenzo!
But I need a Guide for Xperia pro. It is the MK16a/i.
if your lcd still work,you dont need to replace it.Drying it out should sort this out.I have had this same problem on mini pro and fix it this way.Take the display out and put it on radiator for 3 hours.
I will do it.
But "take the display out" means to disassembly it? But I do not how as there a 4 screws on the backside, but I can only access two.
Maybe it is enough if I put the whole cell on the radiator.
Unfortunely the background light is flickering sometimes...

Hi out of the blue my Xperia Mini Pro Sk17i ambiance light sensor is either disable or broken ,
when i open service menu by dialing *#*#7378423#*#* , ambiance light sensor just show value = 0, i shine lights over also won't change....
is it possible its disable or broken? please help, my phone is out of warranty, i was hoping for a DIY repairs on it, any guide or tips on which part should i replace,?
thanks in advance
Hey there. I'll just assume you're using a stock rom, and I'll asume it (your light sensor) is actually broken.
"Repairing" it wont be cheap, because it's part of the flex ribbon/cable assembly, which also holds the front camera, notification LED, proximity sensor, home button, display/touchscreen assembly connector and speaker pins. Pretty much everything is soldered to this component.
There *could* be a problem with your flex ribbon. Perhams some of its wires are starting to break? I know this can lead to all sorts of issues, because it started messing with my LED some months ago. But, on the other hand, it might just be a faulty sensor.
Whatever it might be, I say you leave it as it is. Replacing the flex is no joke on the XMP.

thanks for the reply.... im not on stock rom , its 4.04 zelly cream 6.0 AWESOME ROM!!! love it... but before i flash this, i already have issue with the sensor ...
hmm i saw a video on replacing the lcd screen, seems not that hard, just lots of steps... but problem is im not sure where to find the replacement part for the board as u mention, the lcd is common in ebay, etc...
thanks for the reply by the way. i willing to fix it myself as i love this phone alot!! i use it for work,papago gps map, calls, fb ,messaging thats all.. the keyboard and its compact body is my fav combination...
Ebay
Search on ebay for "flex cable sk17i".
Before disassembly please make sure that the cable you will receive has all the sensors and the camera. The first time I purchased such a cable, it came without proximity sensor... Unfortunately I cannot upload pictures or links, but google is your friend, right?
If I were you, I'd look for a flex ribbon with the "1241-7544" part number between the big gray square and the display port/slot. Genuine parts WILL have this number, cheap knock-offs don't (at least most of the time).

i think thats a proximity sensor problem. are you using any screen protector? or maybe something block the proximity sensor. proximity sensor is in the left side of front camera
