I have had my Mini Pro less than two weeks and the back key is unresponsive intermittently. The menu key can also play up, but not as much as the back key. The only thing that gets it working is turning the phone off. I thought it may be the screen protector but have taken it off and it is still there. I have not used the phone as anything but a phone (no internet browsing at all, have not even connected to the internet) so not sure whether firmware will help as it is new and could not have been damaged remotely?
It has suddenly decided to not respond to the back button for no apparent reason. Sometimes it suddenly starts working again after a restart and then works repeatedly untill untill the phone is left idle. Then the next time i pick the phone up it won't work again. The button itself feels no different to normall and has a positive click feel to its operation but i have noticed that when the phone is left on standby it suddenly starts illuminating the main screen repeatedly for no reason and i think the back button may be stopping from working after this happens, however i have not yet had it do this consistently to be sure yet. I have done a master reset, removed battery, software update (hard to do with intermitant back button btw) but all to no avail. All i have managed to achive is losing a load of my contacts actual numbers on SE's crappy sync service (contacts still listed but numbers gone and not in trash?)
From last month i found that sometime my xperia mini's back button is not working.it's working after press home key or after keypad lock and unlock.i already have latest 0.62 software version and also it was working fine with this update up to 3 to 4 months.i didn't change anything then why this is happening?
I had updated my xperia mini pro with ICS 4.0 ; but after upgradation when i use more than one applications my cell phone gets hanged & it reboot. some times it heat up too. this problem i am facing after upgradation to ICS 4.0 before upgradation my xoeria mini pro was working properly , there ere less issues with 2.3.4 ; but now i am facing several problems.
My Xperia Mini ST 15i, has become sluggish after ICS upgrade. It takes a while before the dialier appears, and games like Temple Run are now erratic. Plus the battery drains like anything. Is there a fix, or is it better to revert back to Gingerbread; or Gellybean is gonna come soon?
I recently bought a Sony Ericsson Xperia st15i and now the back button is operating on its' own, so bad I cannot even unlock the screen to enter the phone and also I cant able to answer the calls. What can I do to solve this problem.
It's not a new thing that my phone restarts alone time to time(!) but recently I notice that any time I touch the 'backup and restore' app to close it from the 'on going' applications (what does it there?), the phone blocks directly and have to enter my code as if it was restarted again.
I recently updated my Xperia ST15i to New Version 4.1.B.0.587 and after updating i feel that Old Version was very good in terms of both attraction and as well as Performance. Is there anyway to roll back to the previous version.
I'm not 100% sure if this is the solution to all Xperia Minis but after ICS4.0 upgrade of my mini the back button problem occuring due to overheating of phone (usually after 15-20mins usage of any app/music/photo viewing/browsing etc) has gone, After continuous usage of 15-20mins or immediately after charging phone I used to face this problem and could not do anything because as soon as I entered some menu the back button threw me out almost immediately.. but with ICS4.0 upgrade (done approx. 2.5weeks before) the problem has vanished totally. No matter what I do with the phone the back button doesn't throw me out of current menu automatically.
I was just wondering if there's a way to disable these capacitive keys on the bottom? I want to disable it because I often use apps, and accidentally touch these keys, it's becoming really annoying. This is true especially when I'm using the camcorder app, and my right hand touches one of the keys and it exits. Or is there another camera/camcorder app that disables the keys?
My xperia mini pro touchscreen became unresponsive after turning it back on. In order to make it work again, I would need to remove the battery and put it back again.
When I hold and press my home screen it brings up the menu to change my wallpaper, I can move the widgets around in the 4 corners of my Xperia Mini 10 but I want my clock back in the middle of my home screen.....
I just bought my XPERIA ST15i last May 15, 2012. Well, the phone with me now went through a series of replacement on the day I bought it. With the first store, I had it replaced TWICE on that SAME DAY because of the issue of it, XPERIA ST15i, activating its home and back keys by itself. For the third replacement because of the same issue, it ended with a refund. So I went to another store to buy another one, and luckily, that malfunction doesn't manifest anymore. Now, after about 2 weeks, that malfunction started to have its episodes again. The menu and back keys are now activating themselves whenever I'm using an app, or just the browser.
today i just upgrade my xperia mini pro SK17i to build number 4.0.2.A.0.58, after this update, my back and menu button begin to be unresponsive or lagged significantly, the backlight of these two button also not turn on.the responsiveness of home button is not affected at all, so I'm not sure what is the source of the problem here.for example, let me demonstrate here:
1. unlock my phone - by slide to right > press the corner shortcut - animation is smooth > press the mail icon - open mail and I can imediately scroll down with no lag > press back button...wait up to 3 second and then it go back to home screen or worse it not registered anything, is it like I didnt press the back button
2. unlock my phone - by slide to right > press the corner shortcut - animation is smooth > press the mail icon - open mail and I can imediately scroll down with no lag > press home button - animated smoothly and goes back to home screen
what can make something like this happen? if this is software related action 1 and action 2 should be the same right? this is like some software component after update didn't detect the capacitive button correctly or something.there is option to repair this phone but it mean that I will loose all things in main memory, I will use this option as the last resort, but for now I would like to hear other opinion about this.other annoying stuff after this update:
- the APN setting was deleted so I must enter it again
- before update there is mcafee viruscan and mcafee wavesecure, after update it change into mcafee viruscan and mcafee security, and the mcafee security is not compatible with viruscan!! so I must delete viruscan, not that im using it tho, but still.
- there is some carrier spesific app that can be deleted but after boot restart showed up again
when ever i try to turn my phone on it just lights up and turns back off and repeats a couple of times. i tried connecting to the computer but didnt work and the battery was 100% full when it stuffed up
I already updated my phone twice, from 1.6 to 2.1 and to the latest one, which i forgot what version (the one with officesuitde).. The first update was ok, but the latest brought back the apps I already unistalled-those apps that were already in my phone when I bought it. I got rid of them because they're TRIAL versions only and theyre just eating up the LITTLE SPACE (128mb) of my internal memory.So this is what happens, every time my phone turns off due to empty bat, or when I turn it off manually, then turn it on again, those APPS were once again installed in my phone! So I will have to uninstall it (again!) to free some of my internal memory. But, expect that it will happen again the next time How could I stop this from happening again? I'm sick and tired of doing the same thing over and over.. And I find it necessary to really drain my bat to 0% so I can maximizae my battery's life span, but when i turn on my phone?
I`m using X10mini Color of my phone`s BACK, MENU & OPTION buttons are changed. But there isn`t any problem for side buttons (Volume & Camera) Can i get warranty for these buttons?
I am just updating my xperia pro to the new update ICS. And when it comes to the stage of "PREPARE" its loading, but then halfway through, the update suddenly stops and go back to the home screen of PC companion, I don't know what to do, I keep on repeating it but doesn't seem to pass by the stage of prepare.
I have a ST15i with Android version 4.0.4 and the build 4.1.B.0.587, when i click the camera button in the main screen i am able to see the back camera view and there is not front /back camera toggle button. i did the factory reset almost 5 times, but no result, is there any patch to solve this issue, due to this i am not able to use Skype Video calls.
Been having the phone for a few months but surprisingly just noticed it, does the phone home button have a back-light? Want to know if there is a hardware issue.
had the X10 since May last year, My soft keys, ie Home, Back and Menu buttons stop working randomly. I have searched this forum and haven't been able to find any answers. I do not have a case on my phone which could affect the use of the buttons.The strange thing is that I have had the phone sent for repair under my insurance policy. It comes back working fine. The problem only seems to reoccur when i go out.Phone works fine in the house but as soon as I travel half a mile away the buttons stop working. If I switch the phone off then on again they start to work but if I'm still moving (eg in the car) they stop again. Once I become stationary either at home or work, they work fine until I move again.
Wi-Fi doesn't works, I have tried resetting to factory settings, update to Android 2.1 and do a 'Repair' suggested by SE Support and not succeed. The phone tries to connect and after several seconds a message appears 'obtaining adress' and nothing happens until it disconnects by itself. It happens in all cases even without WEP security.
it said "removed memory card, insert new card" after 2 weeks i bought, i tried inserting brand new card, even the new one not working. i tried formatting the card on pc. card works on all other phone but not on this. i also tried to do a reset settings on phone. Even then no use.
