I have a sony xperia ion,around a year old for the past 6 months it has become unusable because the battery charge runs out every 2 mins. I thought it was a battery issue and took it to a service centre. They took it in and to my surprise they said it was a software problem. They fixed it in a 3 days and returned the phone. It worked awesome for 2 days and then again same problem. I took it to a diff service centre and they said the same thing that it was a software issue. They fixed it,phone worked fine for 2 days and then same problem again. Can someone with decent knowledge about this help me out pls. I just want to know if i install a custom rom or flash it properly will the device work ? Or is it a hardware issue ?
A friend told me to clear thr dalvik cache or something. Will it help ?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

My xperia is rebooting itself several times in the day. I updated to gingerbread to see if the 2.3 fixes this problem but it still there.
Could it be the battery?
Any help would be great
Maybe you can tell us more about your issue. when did it begin ? Does your phone reboot after a specific event ? How did you proceed to the 2.3 update ?
Are you on stock or custom ROM?
Try wipe dalvik and fix permission.
When you update to 2.3.3, did you restore any data from previous ROM?

Hi,
Not sure if this is the same problem but my x10i got quite hot recently and after kept randomly shutting down (mainly when under load but sometimes just sat overnight) I read on a Sony Ericsson thread that quite a lot of people have had the issue and in my situation could be a motherboard problem. (Heres the thread link) ... be warned though it's a long thread!
Took mine back to o2 for warranty repair as by this time it had become unusable ... just opening the browser shut the phone down!. 4 days later I got a refurbished sgs2 as a replacement (which was nice!) and a letter saying they couldn't repair the phone in the alloted time.
Recently my s3 has been having a wierd issue with the auto focus regards to close pctures i take with the stock camera app.
Originaly i thought it was due to omega rom.
but i have now flashed a stock rom and the same problem is occuring.
I have compared it with a friends s3 and his works perfectly as mine used to.
do not know what the problem could be
i bought the phone from Ebay brand new about a week after the phone was released.
how can i get a new handset or this repaired, how long will it take
can anyone shed any light on the situation, really frustrated as i finally found a rom and setup i was happy with (battery life etc was finally perfect and than this hardware problem )
don't think anyones gonna help me on this one seeing as i'm the only one with the problem
im having problems with my camera too mate, mines is stuttering and not focusing properly. used triangle away to reset the custom binary count to 0, Ive downloaded the off voda uk fw and im gona flash that now via odin. i bought my fone from a mate who had an upgrade but i was still able to register the phone with samsung.co.uk. Have a repair set up and all, just have to post it to the servcie centre now. Hopefully all goes well.
Regards,
Glynn

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?

My device
Xperia Mini Pro (SK17i)
Last month I replaced the Battery for my moto z and after that the phone was working fine, suddenly my wifi and bluetooth had stopped working.
The wifi mac address show: 02:00:00:00:00:00
I have flashed custom rom as well as the stock roms on my device but had no luck.
So far I have Flashed
- Android P Developer Preview
- Resurrection Remix 6.1.0
- Lineage OS 15.x
- Moto Z 8.0 Full firmware [stock][oreo][griffin]
- XT1650-03_GRIFFIN_RETASIA_MPL24.246-45.2_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-XT1650-03_CFC.xml_V2
Rest every thing is working well but wifi and bluetooth is not working at all.. Any genuine suggestions for me ?
Also I have hurd that its a software issue and it can be resolved if i Downgrade my android version ... but i also hurd that its very risky since i need to flash bootloader also for that...

This happenned to me as well.
I had replaced my battery in March and the phone was working fine till one day when I came back from college.
The phone worked fine and I drained the battery to 0 just when I arrived home. I let the phone charge to 100% and when it booted, wifi and bt were dead.
And then I tried flashing the Oreo modem and wiping modemst1 which broke my SIM functions as well, so don't do this. xD
Several people suddenly started having this kind of brick, this isn't a fluke.

yes i already read your other articles before. From last 3 days i m also putting my efforts to find a solution. the reason i dont wanna take my phone to Moto service center since in india they dont care about your hard earn money, they dont care about your device, they are always in hurry, they broke your devices & for there fault they blame you and ask u for more money. last month i had taken my phone for the battery replacement and while repairing it they broke my touch ID and they blamed me for that.. but since i already had a job sheet with me i told them I already have a job sheet and at the time of taking the phone u check the phone yourself .... & after a huge fight they changed extra 500Rs from me...
now coming to the Topic... even if it a hardware issue... i wanted to know first weather some chip need to changed or i need to go for the new motherboard only.... which i very expensive.

Yeah, it 's pretty much the same thing in Croatia. They're too lazy to try fixing a specific part so they will probably replace the whole mobo and make you pay for it. And if they break something, they will either try to blame you or just avoid replacing the part they broke.
Anyhow,I can eventually try relocking the bootloader and pray to god that the repair shop doesn't keep track of the unlocked bl IMEI list from Motorola.
Hi All,
Just wanted to let u know that i have exchange my device for the new one. I hope this information might help you. I had given my phone to the local service center 3 days back and they informed me that its a network IC issue (not a software issue which i already knew it) and it will cost me 4500Rs in india (three month warranty on IC plus 10% changes of damaging the motherboard while repair).
Options that i had -
1 - replace the IC and sell the phone immediately. since even after the battery replacement the phone battery backup was not at all good. Max 5 hours battery backup i was getting on the full battery charge. (I had invested 2200Rs on the battery replacement and not two months had completed and this issue had occurred so i was not in the mood to invent any more money on this crap moto phone.
2 - exchange the phone with the new one. (reliance digital offer me 7k for the exchange which i accepted it)
3 - buy any display broken Device.
how did this happen ?
I was continuously talking on the phone for 4 to 5 hours which made this happened. so I think this happened because of the heating of the phone.
