Hi Friends i have noticed that my SK17 A.K.A Mini pro acts weirdly from the day of purchase.
Even when i lock my screen by pressing power button,I see the LCB lighting up and showing me the lock screen and again turning off.
This happens frequently with few seconds or few min gap.
I suspect this would drain battery than usual.Please help me fix it.
visit the best Sony service center in your city, they'll be able to tell you something substantial.. or get you a replacement.

hahah sorry man, i had that problem yesterday n solve it, if i had problem 3 months ago post will be on time , maybe can help som1 in future anyway
How u did solve it?
Hi,the reason of this is to ask about a problem that I have with a Lg G2 mini, I have 2 days with it and it restarts randomly.
I think the problem may be the last software upgrade because the first day I had no problems, the sim card maybe bad cut and not making good contact. I don't know. Somebody whith the same problem?
Sorry for the bad english. Thanks.
If you recently install an update try to perform Factory data reset under settings. Check if that will help. Take note that once you perform the data reset all your phone data will be erased, so make sure to make up a backup before performing it.

Happens constantly here.. even after hard reset/factory reset... no solution. No widgets on homescreen or lock screen.
More or less given it up and gonna sell it to someone that loves reboots :cyclops:
Known Problems
Mine also does this and I've narrowed it down to a few things: 1. When the phone overheats greatly and stops functioning properly, this could be the cause. 2. Is it restarting when your are using it? Because if not and it is in your pockets or bag then power off button gets pushed down easily and may switch off your phone. 3. It might be a app that is crashing (???) Like the other guy said, try factory reset it :fingers-crossed:
Hello people,
I've been into android root, unlock BL etc stuff a long time, I'm still a beginner though, but I do know some stuff to help myself, or do basic roots/unroot etc.
I had an Xperia PRO, and later bought an Xperia Z1. My Z1 is (kinda) OK, expect that when I submerged it into a pool, just to have some fun underwater pictures, my screen stopped responding in the middle (its annoying, probably the digitizer has stopped working there, ill send it to sony nvm). For the time my Z1 is at Sony's I'll use my old Xperia PRO, It had Ultima Kernel and Stock 4.0.4 Android, and it had an update availiable. I was so not in the mood to check it out, and i just clicked mindlessly the install button... My phone powered off.. And never turned on again. No power on, no LED when pluged to PC/Charger, no vibration, no hard reset, no nothing. It was totally dead. And i remember how i unlocked the BL using test point method, i still had that cable (handmade), so i connected Xperia PRO like when i tried to unlock BL. And guess what!? My PC read it as QHSUSB_DLOAD, I was pretty surprised it's still alive. Well, I can't find any working drivers or figure out what to do with it, but that's why i came here.
I would really appreciate some help on what to do, anyone knows how to restore it.

it can only be restored by setool .... contact me on gtalk i can help [email protected]
Holy mother of Jesus, I did it. Not with setool, but with s1tool. I found the drivers, it recognized my phone when connected via test point as zeus flash device, I restored at s1tool, and then flashed via flashtool a stock rom and voila! It's aliiiiveee!!!
Thank you for givin me the idea and for responding.
Hey all,
My gf has an M4 Aqua.
She has never done anything with it.
No root, no custom roms etc.
Suddenly today phone shut down, Sony logo appeared, blue booting waves and then just pure blue screen.
She did the Software Recovery via Xperia Companion.
It booted normally, she set up everything (although she said it was running very slowly) and while she was just in the home screen it shut down again and did the same thing.
She clicked the red reset button and it booted fine.
Edit: Shut down and blue screen again.
Edit2: After Software Recovery she is on 6.0.1 now.
Edit3: Even when idle it gives the blue screen after some time.
Any ideas why that is happening, how to fix it permanently?
I've seen posts but people said the Software Recovery helped them which is sadly not working for us.
We just need to wait till next month so she can give this one for proper service check.
Is this a hardware issue? I've never encountered a pure blue screen on Sony before.
Cheers, thanks for any help.
Hello friend, i have an xperia m4 aqua dual, same problem than yours, already used xperia conpanion 3 times trying to solve the problem, the cellphone works like a charm for 10min and the problem gets back again, blue screen if i launch some app like facebook and running slooooow, i have read that this is a hardware failure, but don't know what is the ic failure.
Edit: Now i found the problem, the xperia has 2 module of 1gb of ram on the motherboard, when the phone boots (congrats no blue screen) you can go and see how much RAM it haves, it will just show 883mb of total RAM. so... 1 module of RAM is dead.
Edit²: Saw on the xperia forum that sony is pushing an new update on xperia companion, solved the problem of ram and blue screen for some people, i will give i try later today, can be just a software problem.

Hey mate, thanks for the reply!
Will check RAM and try the Xperia Companion again. Gonna update soonish with the results.
It happens alike, ram, blue screen, and in my case at first had problems with the network signal (it was for a while), and the camera (worked sometimes in or out an error log . So YouTube I found this:
Apparently there is a problem with this smartphone after a period of use, and seeking information on the internet apparently called blue screen of death, and happened to the iPhone 5 and even g3 lg, but in this smartphone presents with different symptoms. Unfortunately in my case it is out of warranty two months ago
By the way the new version of PC Companion commenting here will not let me install it, I get a kernel32.dll error in Windows, but the previous version if you install without problems, someone knows what is due?

Thanks for the vid. Good to know it's kind of popular. My gf gives it to service today so we won't check ram etc. But ye this is a bit of a ****ty phone.
These memory problems, speaker broke now this.
I hope they gonna give her a new one.
Also check a statutory warranty (i think that's how it's called) in your country.
Here in Poland apart from the producers warranty we have a warranty from the seller. (its a law)
If seller sells us a product that breaks (no matter if it's producer fault) they need to repair it or exchange for a working one.
This warranty is valid for 2 years.
i updated my xperia m4 , the problem got worse, can't pass the blue screen now, just a constant boot loop of blue screen, i never want a xperia again --'

We did it with Xperia Companion which is the same **** as far as I know.
The phone is sent to service, she'll probably get a new one.
Thanks for the tip though!
Had the same blue screen after installing a incompatible xposed module. But i had not that ram problem. It sometimes booted and sometimes reboot at bluescreen. Re-flashed firmware using newest Flashtool (include "wipe Sin, wipe Misc TA") blue screen was gone.

Hi all,
after 3 days of searching, maybe I've found something sounds good, but I'll stay in test mode for a while and I'll keep you in touch in case it is really stable.
What's happend :
3 days ago I did a simple ''factory reset'' and since then I experience a continous reboots after a minute or two alive in Android official 6.0.1 and a bootloops when processor cames really hot.
At this time on internet you can find lots of people with the same issue and all of us without any solutions at all.
Now here the list of my tries :
- Did again a ''factory reset'' with Sony companion and Sony flashtool Emma : no changes
- Call Sony for support? Warranty still okay? : do not waste your time, Sony wants your money and thats it ! (take a try anyway, you will see by yourself)
- So let's root the phone! Even if you do not know what to do, you can find looots of Tutorials and lots of very geek competent guys to help you (better than Sony support anyway), thanks XDA Developers !!!
- Even if I've completely erased all partitions with TRWP, when flashing and back again in stock Android with xperifirm : still no changes !!!
Now, during those tries I've noticed that the temperature of processor is dangerously high, and that for every startup process.
You know, at the end I think that the bootloop (I guess in that case only) it is made by temperature mainboard automatic protection.
Anyway, before to play freesbee with and go to buy a new one, I've tried to :
- open the back side (very simple but all operations should made very carefully)
- unplugged the battery for 15 minutes
- take off processor's metal protection to avoid heat retention
- plugged the battery again
- close the back side and started Android
Since then the phone is still alive !!! Just working as it should...
I'm trying all I can do to stress it to see if any problems happend again, installing back all apps, using Root features to uninstall useless Google or Sony apps, restet the phone several times.
The processor still heat up every time you do something or restart, but I do not experiencing sudden rebooting or bootloops again at the moment.
As far as I'm concerned, I would say as well that it is a processor issue, but I'm not a scientist, so I guess this apply to different Xperia models and not only to M4 Aqua Dual.
DO NOT FORGET that this is not a real solution. I just did the only thing that you cannot normally do with that kind of phone : unplug the battery.
I hope I can give some good ideas to all of you, or maybe a good way to a solution .
Happy to share,
Flaximuss
More information please
Well, now I'm sure it is hw problem.
A guy solved this doing some trick:
www(dot)youtube.com/watch?v=mgCSPAmJld4&feature=youtu.be
and it works pretty nice, for a while.
I'm more interested in your solution, how far it didn't bootloop, etc.
Could you tell me how is your phone doing?
I betrayed my Sony Is there any way to bring it back???

So, I will explain what has happened.
I received a Warning Statin "Unfortunately, Hike as stopped" followed by "Unfortunately Google has stopped" "Unfortunately home has stopped"...
So I shut my phone off, which I used to do every time and restarted it.
My what happened next is something I haven't experienced before.
My Xperia, just displayed "SONY" logo and nothing else. I know to flash and I have done that many times before. So I was lethargic that I could easily bring my sony back to the world. but that didn't happen anyway :crying: :crying:
I read so many threads in XDA but none of them could have faced what I'm facing. Coz my Sony Xperia Aqua M4 will not vibrate so I couldn't able to differentiate Hard and Soft boot.
After waiting for a restless 24hours I tried to open my Sony Xperia Aqua M4 that's when the real problem started...
I found a video that if we remove the battery and reinsert it then everything will be fine.
so, I removed the back cover.
Flip opened that Copper Layer (I really don't know its purpose though) and unplugged 3 battery plugs. That when the things began to get out of my hand.
After reinserting the plug I started my mobile once again only to see the Sony Logo and not the blue waves. So I tried to restart the mobile by pressing the Rest button near the SD Card Slot only then I came to know it stopped working.
So once again I unplugged the battery and this time I had that copper layer trimmed and replugged the battery.
And this time no Sony Logo too :crying: but I could feel the temperature of metal on the board rising to its peak. I don't know what to do...
Is there a way to make my Sony work again?
Pieces of Advice Please.......
Temporal solution
If you don't want to disarm your phone I got one solution:
1) Press the screen with your thumb and the back panel with index finge, near the nfc logo
2) At the time of starting it helps sometimes.
It is an hardware problem.
The solution worked but...

Hi, the phone has started up, however, is there any way to make the solution last?
Please it would be really nice that there is a chance to recover the phone.

Of course there is a way to save your phone, but nowadays the process cost more than buying another M4 AQUA used. You can do "reballing" or a little "reflow" in any refurbishing store if you want but I recommend changing that phone. It is not so good to use mate.
