My Xperia P detects a USB connection fine, but doesn't detect the disconnection. For example the charging light continues to glow after unplugging. Only way to reset it is to turn it off and remove the internal battery connector.
Are there any HW experts here? I'm quite good with a soldering iron if some component is broken. It's a really annoying error.

Stock firmware? What version?

Sorry, I forgot to mention it. Because the error remains regardless of firmware. Bootloader locked and never tried custom firmware. Right now on 6.1.B.0.544

Never mind custom ROMs, have you tried .54 or .75?
Could be HW problem.

I am not saying rooting caused it, just that if you root you lose your warranty unless you unroot. Since you are out of warranty, i think you need to pay as xda does not fix hardware problems

The hardest part is to find the source of the error, could just be a broken trace. I thought someone might be able to point me to the correct location on the pcb.
In Europe you can buy standard components from for example farnell or elfa. If it's more product specific, ebay is an option, or a spare broken phone.
It's a hobby and I've fixed both big and small electronics, for example iPhone fpc:s. But tiny smd components can be hard, if not impossible without the correct tools.
If you don't have anything constructive to say regarding this thread I propose that you send me a pm instead. BTW, your signature is huge.

i was just reading the topics about the 0% issue, when my brain suddenly thought of an idea. a lot of people have tried to find out what's the source of this issue. but, unfortunately, all we actually know is that it happens when the phone is being downgraded from 2.3.4 to 2.3.2. there has been a countless number of logcat outputs, and whatnot, but nobody has really figured out the root of the issue.
so, what my brain thought about is - have someone with this problem actually looked at what's happening in the bootloader? not the kernel, not the ROM, not the hardware, but bootloader? maybe there's the problem?
i'm not too educated about Android bootloaders, i don't know if that can even happen, and i don't know if the bootloader is user-accessible to rummage through it to look for something, it's just what i thought about. kind of a noob idea actually
hm... i guess nobody really cares?

Sorry to disappoint,but that "idea" of yours is thought of looong ago...
And I can't see what's weird about software damaging hardware?
If you upload bad software onto a chip and now it doesn't communicate with other hardware components the way the main software expects, that chip is pretty much dead.

Hello all,
I have a Sony Live Walkman WT19i currently on Gingerbread.
Randomly, when I'm making a call, the speakerphone gets activated... or sometimes it's the dialpad and then I hear my face touching numbers!
Is the proximity sensor not working properly on my phone, or is this a common bug?
Don't know if this happened while my phone had the original firmware WT19a - now it WT19i , it was the only way to root it.
Any feedback to repair this, avoid it or something?
i never had such proximity sensor problem.
eventough i flashed it many times.

Tried repairing with PC Companion, but it stops in the middle saying it can't continue.
Googled the cause that PC companion could do that, and there are many many reason... tried a lot of "fixes" to be able for it to do "the repair" (wich I heard fixed this issue for some guy) and had success with none of them.
well, if your phone still ''virgin'', then claim it to service center for warranty repair.

whoops... what have you done to it so far?? maybe you can try a different kernel or flashing a ftf of another version of firmware to see what happens.
Edit: just remembered something useful, go to the phone app and enter *#*#7378423#*#* this will take you to the service menu, select service tests and then proximity switch so it will tell you if it's working or not.

Tested it. It works, but it is *very* sensitive. If I move a little the phone within my ear, it will sense off. So I'll have to try to have it very still everytime I make call (I DO switch my phone a lot with my hand when talking).
Thanks a lot for your help. I see you're from Mexico? We could be having this conversation so much easier, ha!

Hello,
How did you adjust it? I can't find any option of configuration for that setting. Could you share how you could fix it?
Or maybe you meant it fixed with the custom ROM.. could be. I hope it's not a bug but shouldn't be fixed now that I upgraded to Ice Cream Sandwich? I wouldn't want to use a custom ROM
By the way, wich ROM do you use?

Know what i just found this.
Very interesting it seems it may actually be a hw related issue and maybe you will need to take it back. Still i am searching for another way to fix it if you don't want to.
how many cm needs proximity sensor to say that it works ok??
For me it about 1,5 cm and i often touch my screen when calling :/
Is there any SW solution? I'm using hybrom v16 custom rom now.
Hi !
Need some help and some guidance from the members regarding a serious issue with my Xperia Sola
The main issue with my Xperia Sola is that the screen freezes 2 or 3 times a day on various situations like when i am browsing on the internet or just browsing thru menus and or even when i write a text message. A random freeze i can call it! The screen freezes and looks like when you're watching a 3D movie without glasses. it's a bit..i don't know the exact term to decribe it but looks exactly like i said. So, after that it becomes unresponsive and the only thing i can do is to restart the phone using up volume button + start button at the same time! Then, it's coming back to life and...i am waiting for the next **bleep** freeze again!
The phone is upgraded to the latest version of android 4.0 with the Latest available software: 6.1.1.B.1.54. I allready performed an repair thru the pc companion on my pc and also tried SUS but the problem is still there.
I don't know wether is a hardware issue or a software issue!
Any ideeas?
Thank you!
Might be hardware issue.
Does I happen on clean firmware with no apps installed other that come with stock?

Likely the GPU, makes no difference if it's GPU CPU ram or anything else that's on the mainboard they are not going to fix it just replace the mainboard.

Well I'm not an expert, but since it happens after flashing clean firmware as well it seems to be some kind of hardware issue even if it's a loos contact.
Won't be cheap question is how exensive.
See if it's worth you repairing or buy a new phone.

Yeah man, clean software, nothing but the stock firmware on it and keeps on freezing. Some days he's behaving ok. I mean ...what am i saying, not a day goes by without one or two of those freezees! sometimes during a call! :/
Yeah, got the same advice from someone! I'll see if it's worth repairing! I really like this phone
I'll keep you posted ChikeD and thank you so much for reply!

Not getting fc anytime. Sometime all related apps runs smoothly and sometime all face struggle zigzag type video/audio. Any help Please.
Is flashing stock firmware help? OR it is purly a hardware related issue.

So i would not like to try that. I have tried Google play music app. and actually right now all related apps are working fine so that also works fine. I will reply about Google music app when I get the issue again.

yes. and same issue comes in all roms so i think it may be some hardware related issue Or some error which is not getting solved after rom changing also. As you suggested to someone in other thread "strong bootloop" to use script "to remove parts of the phone that may be can make some isues with the ROM that you are flashing" , Can i use that type of thing. If so please provide a link for i9100g.
Actually problem starts as:
I was with teamxd rom(samsung based). My memory get filled and i could not delete any file by file manager(ES). I made a factory reset and device got bootloop. Then I install the same Rom again with full wipe. After that i am with this problem in all roms.

I actually dont know what is wrong maybe is what you say error or a bug. And the i9100g I think that it uses almost exact hardware thing that i9100 has the only difference is the nfc.

You might need to change the USB flex board then. Cheap & easy. Click the link in my signature, from there you can access a guide by @keithross39, where it's explained how to DIY if you choose. Pay careful attention though, there's 4 different versions (revisions) of the board itself, you need the correct one or you'll get issues. Else, just take it to a service centre/local shop to get it replaced.

I would ordinarily say it isn't either. I don't know if it's not that. Regardless, it sounds like you need a new one anyway. Let us know how you go with the repair shop.
As far as I know, the i9100g one will not be compatible with the i9100, as the hardware is different. I don't know how to buy one for an i9100g, I would have said ebay but other than that, I'm not too sure. Sorry to not be of much help.

Me personally I would get a new phone and sell yours for parts etc, of course its entirely up to you. Google some prices and see what you can afford but in my opinion the cost of repairing would not be far off the cost of what a Galaxy S3 is worth now days.:crying:
