Hi, my Xperia X1 does not boot normally. I did not mess with the SPL or bootloader. I made a call, put it back in it's pouch, tried to make a call a few hours later and got the bootloader screen instead. All software and ROMs are stock standard and was never changed. I started by reading XDA forums. The phone will power up to bootloader screen when switched on. Serial is displayed. Plug in a USB cable to PC and this changes to USB. The PC makes its sound to indicate a USB device has been connected. It then says the device cannot be recognised and removes the usb icon from the taskbar. Activesync, mtty, SEUS or any other software will not recognise it. I have since put RA2 on a SD card and updated the ROM. This worked fine. There is no way I know of to HardSPL the phone as it cannot communicate with a PC. If you plug in the wall charger, car charger or USB cable to a PC, the phone will skip the bootloader screen and switch on. The phone cannot be charged while switched on. No charging symbol and the battery will still run down. Switch the phone off and it will however charge. Anybody seen this before? Any ideas how to fix it?
Thanks in advance
Maybe you should ask in the correct section. This is for discussion on HTC Titan not sony experia.
I noticed this issue, where the Photon powers on by itself when i plug it into the computer via usb.
When the phone is off and plugged to the wall charger I get the battery charging image. But When the phone is off and plugged into the computer via usb, it powers on. Also With the usb plugged in and in charge only mode, when i perform a shutdown on the phone, it restarts right after completing shutdown.
I know this might now be a serious issue, and no one have probably come across it but same thing happened when it was connected to the PS3, i powered it off while it was on and connected to ps3 via usb and it powered back on. This could be some weird usb sending out signals trying to mount the sd card and in return it forces the phone to turn on, can someone please verify this on their phone, my brother has a photon i am gonna try this on his later tonight, just need to know it is on mine,
Well i confirmed with another Photon, it is the same issue, whenever it is plugged into a USB it turns on by itself, dont know if this happens with other phones, but it is weird

Same thing here and it is so annoying when I am just trying to charge it and it keeps booting back up.
does anyone know of a solution, i ll try playing around with it, may be something with usb debugging, highly doubt it though
Same here. I think it must be designed this way for some reason.
Does it turn on if the USB is set to 'Charge Only' mode? I think it turns on automatically by design in Phone Portal or Sync modes but it probably shouldn't in Charge Only mode.
when I connect the USB cable onto the computer the USB notification fails to appear and the charge indicator doesnt work. The USB cable works as I had just unlocked the bootloader but now the USB does not work and I cannot charge!
Anyone ever come across this problem? RSD still detects though so I guess there may be hope
Ever since going back to (downgrading in my opinion) from an AOSP ROM to a Samsung-based ROM, my USB connection to PC doesn't work reliably. The phone detects it is plugged in, USB debugging is turned on and I have the correct Samsung drivers installed.
But it's a crapshoot whether or not the computer detects the phone being connected. Sometimes it will work, sometimes it'll take a couple of minutes, sometimes it will require me to plug & unplug the cable multiple times.
It's highly annoying, especially since I had no issues with it whatsoever when I was on an AOSP ROM.
Any ideas?
I'm asking for a solution to get my phone to charge via PC when phone is on. I've been troubleshooting this for days. I have a Sony Zperia Z Ultra, so the battery cannot be removed. This is what I've determined:
Phone charges when OFF and connected to PC.
Phone charges when plugged into wall.
Phone shows USB debugging is active when plugged into PC.
-If USB debugging is disabled, phone will not show any indication of being plugged in.
Phone's battery status is "not charging" when plugged into PC.
PC shows phone in device manager.
-Device manager shows yellow triangle next to phone name regardless of the PC I use (all of which previously worked fine).
-Have tried uninstalling and reinstalling drivers but all PC refuse to recognize the Sony drivers for some reason. I'm also at a loss on how to get the drivers installed properly, or how they got messed up in the first place. This happens for all PCs however. But regardless of drivers, the phone should still be able to charge once plugged in. It does not.
-If USB debugging is disabled, phone will not show up in device manager.
PC makes USB connection sound/notification when plugged in.
-If USB debugging is disabled, PC will make no sound/notification when plugged in.
PC will NOT show phone in Explorer (SD Card does not show up, nor can you navigate phone directories).
Have tried 3 different computers and laptops.
Have tried 4 different USB cables, both third-party and branded.
Have uninstalled recently installed programs (from both PC and phone).
Have tried resetting, rebooting, and hard rebooting phone.
Have tried cleaning the mini-USB port on the phone, it's nice and shiny.
Have used phone for about 6 months, problem just started happening about 2 days ago for no apparent reason, no changes were made on PCs (tried several) and especially not the phone itself.
Any ideas? I can only assume it's a phone issue from using above factors to narrow it down, however which phone factor should I focus on?
