[Q] Xperia Mini missing Band/Network - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

Hey,
I have a strange Problem. I am normally a expierienced XMP/mini repaired/flasher and I own 2 full working minis.Both working with custom ROMs without any problems. Because of I didnt like the scratches of camera lid I exchanged the backpiece of my white mini. Since I did that the phone doesnt have network anymore. I exchanged the 2 backpieces I have to see if its a problem of this, since this point BOTH dont have Network anymore...
I tried everything, flashing ROMs, Kernel, Baseband and changing the backpieces/mainbords from left to right but the problem still exist.
No I thought i may broke something, so i bought 2 broken Minis. I repaired and tested them- everything was working great, incl. networks/sim. Now I tested another backpiece and goddamnit, they still all dont have network again, even I set the backpiece back to the unit working before- now its not working anymore.
PS: the weird thing, in Manual network search, all devices finding german "eplus" and "telekom" network but not the "o2-telefonica" I need and use.
Can anyone let me know whats the problem? What can I test? What could I do?
Any Ideas?

GPS suddenly stopped working

a month ago i bought a brand new Sprint TP. And i was amazed by its GPS, it's the fastest mobile phone GPS i ever met. it only need 5 second to lock satellite. but yesterday suddenly it stopped working. with identical rom and identical radio. it's so weird. i try it to flash back to factory default and yet it still didn't worked. try also to update the radio but no hope. Do anyone have a solution for these weird problem?
are you using the stock rom & radio? you say you tried flashing radios but to no avail, which part failed? you were able to flash a new radio but it didn't solve the problem or you weren't able to flash a new radio period? we need a lot more information to help you

If you have already reflashed the rom, it could be that you have a damaged unit in your hands. If I were you, I would relock it and run to a Sprint store asking for a replacement. Just my two cents...
Good luck!
[SOLVED] here are the solution:
hello friends, recently after i upgrade my Sprint TP ROM into several different type of ROM, my TP GPS can't lock and view the satellite anymore. i got frustrated and hopeless about it. i already tried almost every single method until i find these one:
http://www.smartphonejunkie.com/gps-still-cant-t183417.html?t=183417
so i matched the IP between QPST and the IP server and port number on HKLM/Software/HTC/SUPL AGPS. After i match both of it, suddenly it start working again and the result is superior. i can lock 8 satellite even indoor on my private room. when i got outdoor it only need around 3-5 seconds to lock. so it even faster than before that need around 20-30 second with QuickGPS. sorry for my bad english, i just want to share a GPS problem that actually very tricky and have various problem.
Note: i never changed any settings on my QPST and i set the SUPLAGPS to follow my QPST value.
it's interesting that each time i changed the ROM, it also changed the IP and Port inside that registry.
hope this tricks helps. thank you
I just had that happened too...
If the above suggestioon does not work, I had applied this fix which worked for me when my GPS suddenly stopped working for no reason. My stoped working just a day before yours did. This of course happed just as I REALLY needed my GPS to work.
Here is the Fix.
Using a registry editor .....
HKLM/Comm/ConnMgr/Providers/{7C4B7A38-5FF7-4bc1-80F6-5DA7870BB1AA}/Connections/Phone as Modem
Change the value AlwaysOn=1 to AlwaysOn=0
Soft Reset..
Worked for me.
If I helped send a thanks.

Strange Behaviour x10 mini pro

Hi all,
I have x10 mini pro, that acts very weird. When Iam on phone with someone, xperia starts turning on and of my microphone, sometimes it turn on loud speaker and display is turning of and on ... My suspicion was, that the proximity sensor is somehow damaged, so I send it to service. After few weeks, they told me, that everything is okay and there is no glitch with phone. But they were wrong, glitch was still there ... Next day I send xperia to service again, again they didn't find anything. I tried to send phone to service at least 8 times, but the result still the same, they just restarted phone to factory setting...
Now Iam wondering if update to new custom rom (e.g. CM9) would solve this problem?
After all these factory resets, experia is hardcore slow, so I need to do something with phone, because it is unusable ...

Well it does, Iam little bit sad about that. Phone is still in guaranty, but I dont know why the original service isn't able to find out that problem. Iam going to try to write to Sony and will see. Have you tried to flash your device to custom rom?

[Q] Touchscreen stops working randomly?? HELP!

Hello guys. I have a serious issue with my atrix. My touchscreen stops to work completely random. I've had this problem for a long time but when I restarted the phone, everything was ok for months. Yesterday it stopped completely. I was with the original ROM and put CWM and tried few roms. When I install new rom the touchsreen works perfect for X time. Last night I put jellybean and everything was ok for 2,3 hours. Then it started f*cking up. My phone rings and I can't pick up, turn off the display from the fingerprint button then turn it on again and it works. Later it got worse and now even a restart does not help. Phone works, rings and everything but I can't even unlock it?! I haven't tried changing the kernel yet, because I know nothing how to do that and there is not much how-to on the internet about that. I guess it's not a hardware problem, so maby it's the kernel. I'm quite a noobie in this stuff, but I read alot and I'll apreciate your help. 10x
Which Rom are you using
are you using leaked ICS or CM10/AOKP by epinter or Th3Bill.
before trying kernel i would suggest trying using a different rom, CM10 by epinter works fine for most of the users
Definately the problem was the kernel. I have some success, changed few kernels and the problem showed even trying to install CM10, you know the installation is made by touching stuff. Now i managed to make it work by installing 2.3.6 kernel + GB 2.3.6 and it is working so far. I'll test it for few days to see if it will die again and then try CM10 with the newer kernel. Last night I flashed CM10 and everything was ok for few hours, then the touch started making trouble and eventually stopped working completely. Will post update tommorow to tell if it is ok.
edit: It didn't last 1 hour, died again. Restart doesnt help. Phone works fine, but no touch response. Don't know what to do... different kernels and roms and same problem every time. Waiting for any ideas...
i have the same problem, ive tried a couple of different roms too. does your capacitative touch buttons stop working as well?
Try PDS Fix, else its digitizer
it looks more like a hardware problem, atrix digitizer are quite well known for such failures..
though i think it is not a PDS problem, i would suggest try PDS Fix once, it has helped a few
Get it from here --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1131649
If this doesn't work i would suggest get a new digitizer off and replace it.
It's sound like a hardware problem definitely.The first thing you should do is to check the ribbon cables and connections.If it does not help you may need to replace the touch digitizer panel.
ropin1 - Yes, the capacitative touch buttons stop working aswell.
I'd have to read more about this PDS fix, because I have no idea what're you talking about.
So you are saying, that I have to change the digitizer only? I saw on ebay, that you can buy the digitizer with the cable on it for about 20$.
edit: I just disassembled the phone and checked all the cables and connections. Everything seems fine to me. Reassembled the phone and the screen still doesn't respond. Maby I just have to get a new digitizer... :/

[Q] sk17i - touchscreen doesnt respond - sofware or hardware problem ?

hello friends. this is my first post because i got a problem with my xperia mini pro.
i have to tell you it from the beginning because i think it is important to understand where is the problem. it was about some moths ago when i had problems when my phone was in standby and someone called me, it happened sometimes that my touch screen didnt responded and i couldnt take that call and had to restart phone. after restart it was ok. it didnt happen so often but with tim (i think another month) i happened maybe once every day. and maybe a month after that i first got stuck during i was doing something in my phone - not in locked state. sometimes didnt helped even one restart so i had to remove battery for a while but after that it was fine. at least for a while. i think that problems with touchscreen (or maybe better with digitizer) happened almost every day. i tried also reflash some custom rom i used before but it didnt help. so it got into state when touchscreen stopped working and i was very happy when it started to work for a while. it happed sometimes after factory reset in android service menu and once after many times reflash of rom and kernel but only till next restart. i also locked bootloader and gave there stock rom and many times reflashed stock rom but nothing helped now.
Lets say i also tried some advices in that that tutorial about 10 different way to repair bricked touchscreen. but i am not sure if it is actually hardware or software issue. it is very important to aim my effort. i dont know if i shouldnt buy some whole touchscreen+lcdf or just digitizer for sk17i on ebay or on the other hand try to solve software issue and reflash, restart, reset bricked touchscreen.
i dont have much experience like some guy in mobile phone service. in my mobile service they told me it is hardware issue and they will repaire it but it is very expensive from them. but i dont believe that guys at all so i write here.
My phone is after the warranty so i got an idea to buy sopme used sk17i with a warranty, change display with mine and give it into the mobile phone service where they will change the touchscreen for free and i could sell that both phones after that. i dont want that xperia anymore. but this can only work if it a hardware problem
so what do you think guys?
thanks for your advices

If you did a clean flash with stock rom & that didn't helped than its an hardware problem!
But you are luck if your touch is miss calibrated or its an overheating issue.
Do your mini's soft buttons starts pressing itself?
Go have a look here
[solved]
i solved it with new lcd + digitizer from ebay and made some manual assembly. my phone now works great, so i suppose problem was caused by hardware

[Q] SIM-Card Issue XT910

I posted here a few days ago because i have been encountering problems with my xt910. It just runs out of signal out of the blue. So I was told to uninstall “CellBroadcastReceiver.apk ”. I did that and got signal back again. But then, one day after, everything started all over again. I thought it would might be a hardware issue, but since it recognizes whether there is or isn’t a SIM-Card, I think it’s more like a bug idk. I have already tried another SIM-Cards and also tried mine on another cell phones and it works normal. I was looking through some threads here and desperately tried quite a lot of things but unsuccessful till now. Has anyone an idea of what might be causing this problem? I used an app called Titanium Backup to uninstall CellBroadcastReceiver.apk. Since then yeah i think it was uninstalled, because it does not show up in the application's list anymore. But maybe have i done it wrong? If yes, how could i find it? Or maybe is it another issue? Idk, i'm really new with this and i just wanna fix my phone xD
I am using CarbonROM with KitKat 4.4.4 and a Vodafone Germany SIM.
