i am planning on buying XPERIA MINI soon but i've heard that it has few problems(global) like
* battery overheat
* strange activity of capacitive buttons(menu & back button start without even touching them)
due to these problems the phone seems barely usable
is this true , if yes did installing cyanogen-mod rom solve this problem ???

The phone works fine with me. It's definitely usable. Just because one experiences a problem doesn't mean that everyone else does.

I dont have battery overheat. Capacitive buttons accidentally start only when I breath on em.
Plus I edited my keyboard layout so I can only unlock with power button.

thanks for your answers but i am referring to ST15i (without hardware keyboard)
but this is a global problem almost 44 members are shouting their problem at sonytalk @ http://talk.sonyericsson.com/message/112523#112523
Like you, my last unit was wildfire and it wasn't charging, there's a problem with the mobo and the warranty is expired a week after it happened that's why I chose xperia mini with Adreno 205 compared to wildfire S adreno 200.
Other users are definitely having problems with the capacitive buttons namely the back and menu key. So far, I had my xperia mini for over 3 weeks now and it doesn't have that problem. Honestly, I'm worried that the problem might show. However, from the moment I had the unit, I charged it overnight and been doing it ever since. I've been playing games with it like nfs shift for more than 30mins and the battery doesn't overheat the same as with charging it overnight. Overall, it's a fairly powerful phone and can play HD games with no lag at all. The only thing I don't like about it is sometimes I struggle reading texts while using its browser.
And oh, the sound(xloud) is awesome especially while using its stock earphones.
thank you for the info ....i am going to wait until sony finds a solution to this problem
you are quiet a lucky one ...i hope you wont have any such problems with your device
Dude its the best phone ive had. Coming from galaxy s
Hi. May i know when did you guys buy your xperia mini? I'm planning to buy the phone this week then I read the problems. I'm choosing samsung fit, lg optimus net and xperia mini. obviously, xperia mini as an edge to them but because of the problems I read, I'm having second thoughts. Help!
Like I said before, I bought mine for over 3 weeks now and doesn't have any problems(hoping it would stay that way). And I'm very happy with it.
dude, it support multi-touch? ?how many finger support?

Maybe does not seems to be so bad, but it's even worse: ST15i become totally unusable, when the capacitive buttonns are going crazy.
My phone has worked just fine for more than one month, but now it works only until the temperature goes above 34-35 celsius degree. Then the capacitive buttons starts activating, and the phone does not respond to any other command untill the temperature drops below 30 degrees.

yes but not my mini ;-)
I also bought my mini september 9. And so far so good, as it doesn't give any of the capacitive buttons malfunction.
Me too bought this about 1 month ago and didn't have any problem. the only problem was LCD brightness which was flashing sometimes in medium light places. but it solved after upgrading to 2.3.4
it's a good phone with many good features and suitable price
well, can we put some geographical or Weather classification here ??
i mean hot countries having this problem, while COLDER ones not having them ???
or it's irrelevant ???

No friend, Now i moved in to GB but same result. I don't think this is a Sony ICS issue !!!.
Also when i unlock my phone, that time only i am seeing this issue. After unlock phone works normal.
Still are you facing this issue ?
yes, but most of time I can't swype, because touchscreen driver read it as click. Maybe we must go to service center. I know there is two types of touchscreen Sony and Sharp, maybe one of them is defective.
Very often I can't pick up the phone because of that bug. Also I see that pointer moves himselve.
"Bootloader unlock" may case of void company warranty !!!, what we can do now ?
If we get this mobile to them they will findout right ?
unfortunately, yes if your unlock your bootloader by official way.
I read on the sony.mobile that the replacement does not help with this issue.
Yes i did this by Sony way
What about you ?
I had the same issue when I was on stock GB. But after I stated using CM9 and now AOKP I don't have the issue!

i had the same issue for some times, now work normally. i haven't do anything.
i think is the digitizer that is faulty or another hardware problem because i try to wipe the phone standing on ICS, i try CM9 and GB but always the same.
at the moment i'm on stock ICS but seems ok.
crossing fingers....

Guys opened seal and does it already installed an screen protector ?
or should i buy a screen protector and install it ?
Many backgrounds applications are running hw to kill them ?
1st of all the bad things about the phone
if you can have patience to charge your device twice a day than XP is for you
i have this phone for about 20 days now and i,m quite disappointed with the battery life.
it really sucks and i,m mean really really sucks big time. 1350 mah only
i had an update couple a days ago i installed the update and stared facing bug like immense battery drain
camera problem in the dark.. and there,s no improvement in update as far i have observed
don,t bother to update
now the good things
i love the face that this device has awesome screen resolution
nice colours and viewing angles
screen clarity awesome
camera result awesome
performance awesome.
sound awesome
sound on earphones awesome
call quality no problem at all
surfing the web no problem
overall experience good.
yes u can install custom roms in it
after rooting and installing the clockwork recovery.. u might also have to unlock the bootloader,
see the relevant thread.
but i cant see files which i have tranferred through pc or bluetooth
almost wasted 2 hours for searching a file which i have copied from ma pc to phone but i cant find the location of the files which i have transferred to mobile from friend's bluetooth and my computer

It already has a screen protector...
You can kill them by pressing stop..and if u root,u can uninstall a lot of bloatware..
The battery is so lame and Sony's software support is even worse..

Oh ok, thanks a lot for the reply guys , i already updated to the ICS but not the latest one
it runs fine on my xperia p
Although it has a scratch resistant screen guard should i need to install an additional screen guard
Even the xperia P red colour is made up of aluminium right?

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.

i will send it these days to the local sony service if you trust that is 80 % a hardware issue!

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!
hello, i have a problem with my xperia u, i cant text properly with it, some times the letter cant be pressed(im using the 3x4 keyboard not the qwerty, but even qwerty keyboard cant be pressed the letter sometimes). my girlfriend experienced it on her xperia u too 2months ago, but its under waranty that time so the service center did repair it successfully. but now my phone's waranty is already expired, we took it too service center too, but they did not succeed on repairing it, they said the touch screen must be replace. i dont want to think this way but i dont believe it because my girlfriend's phone has been repaired with a very similar problem, now i think that they said that to me so they can get more money if i will agree to them to replace the touch screen. does anyone know how to fix this? its different on other not responsive screen problem, i check the service test on touch screen and there is no broken line, its just hard to press sometimes on texting but there is no problem making a line. factory reset and repairing via PCC and SUS is not solving the problem(both on mine and on my girlfriend's phone when she is experiencing the problem) thank you very much in advance to everyone.
If it's a hardware problem no one here can help you fix it.
Lots of touchscreen problems woth U and Sola, I would think Sony should fix them free of charge.

actually i dont think that it is a hardware problem, because like what i've said, my girlfriend's phone experienced the exact problem that im encountering right now, and they fixed it with i dont know what they did but they didnt replace anything, meaning its only a software defect. if i was remembering it right, they are talking about software calibrate or something like that but im not so sure about it. maybe they dont want to fix it with free charge now thats why the saying that it is a hardware problem for me to pay. i really believe someon could help me here, i would be very thankful and im thanking now in advance.
