Touchscreen problem after waking from sleep with Sony Xperia Mini st15i - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

I have an annoying problem with my Xperia Mini: the touchscreen sometimes won't react after waking from screen or with an incoming call. The power button still works, but as the screen isn't reacting, the only way to reboot the phone is to pull the battery.
The problem appeared with the stock ICS rom and kernel.
Yesterday, I installed CarbonROM (CARBON-KK-NIGHTLY-20140930-0009-smultron.zip) and the kernel included in the zip, but that didn't fix the problem - the phone froze once again.
Could the problem be caused by the fact that the phone is rooted and running an unlocked bootloader?
While searching on the forum, I found similar topics but couldn't find a solution.
Any help would be appreciated.

[Q] Touchscreen issues

Hi guys
I would like to know if you could help me with a strange problem, i´ve been using the GingerDX rom on my x10 mini pro till yesterday. Yesterday my touchscreen stopped working don´t know why, i´ve notice some lags in responding time, but i thoughth that should be "normal" with processing information or something similar...but try to reboot a few times and the problem remains, and the only thing i could do was entering pin number with slide keyboard.
Then i try to install the rom again, with full wipe etc etc, and same problem, even with other rom (one of Paullxxx).
Then thought that could be a hardware problem, and get SEUS and restore it...but then the touchscreen was responding with no problems, and i´ve been using all morning, about 12h and no problem at all.
Now i´ve root it again and had installed a custom rom again, and the problem backs again
Do someone know what is the problem?
Could someone help me please?
Sorry for my english
Best regards
The problem was solved by SEUS, and start ROOT and all the stuff again.
I supose it was some drivers issues or something, but strange was the fact that ROMS were working long time ago, and with no modification or update, the touch screen stop responding
I am facing the same problem.I had been using MiniCM7 Pro v20 for about 6 months, then suddenly one day touch screen stopped working. Rest all was working fine. My x10 mini pro's touch screen wont work on any custom rom . I tried with many rom's. But after updating with SEUS touch screen works again .
Can please anyone please suggest a solution on this....
I cant withstand the stock rom for long

[Q] [HELP] XPeria Mini Pro SK17i Turn Off Automatic and Reboot again

hi all.
i have a problem on my xperia mini pro.
i dont know whats wrong.
when i lock my phone, and i want to turn it on back, it is turn off and suddenly the S.E logo appears.
seems like rebooting back.
sometimes when i make the screen timeout for 30minutes, it will also turn off by itself and restart back by itself. sometimes it goes off and no reboot back.
i have search on XDA and found that few problems like mine.
i try few solution like take out the battery, uninstall apps which maybe make my phone turn off.
i also reflash my phone to 2.3.3 and also reflash back to 2.3.4. it just goes the same. my warranty have void as i have unlock my bootloader.
i just dont root my phone yet as i think rooting my phone doesnt help this problem.
someone can help me? i really miss my phone like the old days to tweeting and facebooking without any turn off and reboot by its own.
Did you try a factory reset? This may fix your problem. But rooting could possible help.....

i've done the factory reset before. seems like it does not really help much.
not trying to root yet coz i dont think rooting can solve the problem
Does it make any difference if you start the phone with the charger plugged into it?
...or even without the SIM card or SD card? Any difference at all?

I bought the phone over from bobo. And yes it does make a difference.
This problem does not occur whenever the phone is plugged in. However while running on battery, if I leave it be and once it goes into standby, it would not turn on again.
Seems to me it went into sleep of death.
At the moment, I have no idea how to fix it. But I've found a workaround by keeping the CPU on when the display is off by using wake_lock. However this workaround is a little battery consuming.

bro i have this problem before, what im doing before was playing music on mute for it not to turn off NOT until 0.62 FW came out and the problem was solved, it doesnt turn off on stock 0.62 fw and stock 2.3.4 but the screen when locked automatically turns on and off multiple times, its annoying..really so i decided to unlock my bootloader, flashed rooted 0.62 FW from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1440161, turning on and off phone and screen solved, flashed its respective ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1373435, and now my phone is so stable and having no more problem.
i think the only problem i noticed just now is the back button (its not really a button) and the option button's light is turning off and on while screen is on. but thats better than your phone turns on and off or your screen.
i hope this helps.

I've done this too. Flashed the same kernel, and the same ROM as you did. But the problem still prevails in my phone. I still have to keep control of wake_lock to prevent CPU from sleeping while the display is off.
Btw, when I flashed the kernel, under my "About" in the settings, it still says .58 instead of .62.

you mean in the Settings>About Phone> in the build number it should have HYBROM V9 by boof not the kernel name like .58 or .62 if you flashed the kernel and rom correctly.
disable lockscreen
Try to disable your lockscreen in the settings menu. Maybe that helps
My phone have the very same problem.
Any good new?
I've tried the factory restore. Didn't solve the problem.
so....no solutions yet!!??!

Xperia mini Pro (Sk17i) Touch Suddenly Stopped working .. Plx help !!!!!

Few days ago my xperia mini pro's touch screen and soft keys stopped working. I didn't do a thing. It suddenly stopped working on its own.
(Phone is BootLoader Unlocked & Rooted Stock ROM)
The problem started a month ago, at first, when I took the phone out of my pocket to receive a call, i cant slide to take up the phone. Touch screen wasn't working. then i used the keyboard and shut the phone down. After turning on, the Screen touch worked fine again. few times it repeatedly happened over the month and become ok once I Shut it and turn it on
After that one day, when I Just took it out of my pocket to play. The touch
screen was not working and this time i wasn't able to fix it by power off. I tried for several times. Didn't work
After that I tried these:
- Flashed the Official ROM SK17i_4.0.2.A.0.62 via Flash tool ( Touch Screen Still not working )
- Flashed many Kernels (boof, Rage, KRsH) via Fastboot Cmd ( Still not working )
- Flashed Stock SK17i_4.0.2.A.0.62, a Kernel, Installed Hybrid ROM v16 for SK17i & Flashed back to Stock ROM ( as mentioned in a thread ) ( Still not working )
- Boot Loader Relocked, Updated the Phone using SE Update Service (Still no hope) :'(
I tried these several times, but still no hopes. Touch Screen & Soft keys still not working at all. Only Volume keys, power button, Camera button and Home button working.
Please someone help me fix this, & give me a solution. I will try any solution possible. (Please, BRIEFLY, make sure whether this is a Hardware problem or software problem)
THANK YOU
It seems this could already be HW related.
Maybe its time to take it to a service center.

[SOLVED] sk17i vibrates for a while then freezes for some seconds

Hello guys, I'm dealing with a strange problem with my Mini Pro (sk17i). I can use it normally, then suddently (I can't find a connection with any apps and the problem) it vibrates for about 3, 4 seconds and it freezes for a while (another 4, 5 seconds). After that, the phone runs normally, apparently.
Flashing the FW again (Stock GB) with Flashtools doesn't seem to fix it.
Any Ideas?
PS: Using a CFW, for a while, it's not an option for me.
Thanks!
Rooted the stock rom, did the Project Fluid script mod and some bloat-cleaning and it is working well now.. Unfortunatelly I can't tell the exact solution, but the problem is gone by now.

[Q] Xperia Mini pro keeps rebooting,touchscreen dead

Hi guys...
My 1 year old xperia mini pro sk17i keeps rebooting automatically.The problem started when the touchscreen stopped responding all of a sudden.At first the problem occured only once in a while and then escalated.Now the touchscreen is completely dead.I could still operate the phone with the H/W keyboard,except for attending calls.Then a few days back,my phone has started to reboot automatically.This doesn't occur when i operate the phone while it was charging,but the touchscreen is still dead.I tried factory resetting the phone,software repair,flashing new ROM but this didn't help .Could it be a battery problem? Is there any hope to fix my phone?Any tips are appreciated.Thanks in advance.
