Xperia X10 Mini/pro :: Sony Ericsson Screen Gone Black
Dec 20, 2011
i bought a sony ericsson xperia x10 mini a couple of weeks ago, works fine but i was downloading live wallpapers from android store and there was one called DIY wallpaper and it made the lock screen look like an iphone one. so i installed it and it asked me if i wanted to change my home screen to the new one and i clicked yes, then my screen went black. I can use the drop down bar but if i click on a notifcation in there nothing comes up on the screen. I can see the start up screen and all that and the unlock screen it all works just no home screen. Ive tried reseting by holding lock button and home button for 4 seconds it resarted but it was the same i could only use the drop down bar.and one more thing, ive connected to computer but i cant get it to do the usb connect because i cant click it on the phone screen.

I think I have bricked my phone I don't know how. I press the power button on top and get normal buzz then Sony Ericsson in white letters on black background and stays there. Tried reset by turning on top button whilst holding middle button, no good. Tried holding back button whilst plugging in usb charger cable no good (LED wont even come on to indicate charging) tried with sim card in and sim card out, no good. Tried with memory card in and memory card out, no good.
Wanted to load new firmware update from SE support site - before I have updated with no problems held back button whilst plugging in usb cable and released back button when told me to on screen but now it seems there is a different way to update through pc companion now, well it tells me to pull down the notification bar but how can I do this if the phone wont even get to the normal screen with notification bar? How can I go back to the old way of updating firmware using SE update or do I have to do it through companion software now.

I am hoping that someone can help. I dont know why buy my phone screen has started playing tricks on me, it either stays black (I can see that there is power to it but its not showing the normal screen), or it goes a bit muddled (lines though it, or it is off to the left or right, or only half screen is showing). Strangely, when it is staying black I can tell that it is working behind the scenes as if i tap the power button twice the screen powers off, then if i tap it again and press the bottom left it unlocks the screen (the screen looks like it has power but is still black) I can tell the phone is working as if i press the menu button it vibrates when i touch places where the menu options are. if i keep turning the phone off and on or locking and unlocking it will eventually work - but this can take anything from 1 attempt to 20 or 30 Then when the phone comes on properly it can go back to being black or garbled again in seconds or minuits, ocasionally hours.I got the phone less than a year ago (about 7 months - not long after it came out i think) - i have the box but no receipt.

I've got a W995 which turns onto a black screen with some horizontal colourful lines running across it on occasion.
The phone is previously thought to be liquid damaged but atleast starting up now. I've disassembled the whole phone assuming the flex ribbon needs changing but after a ribbon replacement, problem persists.Can anyone confirm to me that an LCD replacement will fix this? What other problem is this symptomatic off?

I've just re-updated my X10 Mini to see if it would run any smoother. Since then I cannot access the Sony Ericsson sync. I've tried adding the account in settings > Accounts & sync > Add account > Sony Ericsson sync, it goes to the Sont Ericsson login screen and will not go past that after I have enterewd my details, or5 it redirects me to the login to the website dashboard. I'm getting no opportunity to authorise the account and now I cannnoot sync my contacts as I don't use the Google account for that.

Sony Ericsson-phones should have a built-in audio-recorder (similar to the iPhone). I know that there are apps for this, but it this should be built-in so that you don't have to search and download additional apps for this basic feature.

My Sony Ericsson x10 Mini Pro doesn't start up! The past few days, when I used the keyboard to type, the screen will have some problem then hang. And it will always auto off. But there is no problem to on. Now, I cannot even on it! It only flashes black light but the word 'sony ericsson' was not showed just like the past. I am sure there is still battery inside as I charged it the day before.

I signed into the three accounts - google account, facebook account and SE account - when asked to do so while running the setup gide for my Xperia Mini. I have also registered my phone. However, I keep on getting the following message for SE account:
Could not synchronise Invalid server address. Please check account settings.
I checked the account setting. It shows the server address as [URL]

I have a Sony Ericsson watch type DGA 0002001 which could be used for blue tooth connection with other mobile telephones. It worked very good with my old telephone K550I. I could see and feel if I had a massage or telephone while the phone itselves was in a bag or else. Even I could use the music player by pressing knots on my watch. All this I cannot use anymore?

I am not able to Connect my Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 min pro through PC Companion either by USB or by Bluetooth. I tried all the permutations and combinations suggested by Sony Ericsson support pages, yet no resort.
However, stragenly I was able to upgrade from Android 1.6 to Android 2.1 through PC Companion (though PC Companion refuses to detect). Now my handset say there are updates available and to be updated through PC Companion. However, this time PC Companion is not bending in any direction to support me.

how to properly sync the x10 mini with my Sony Ericsson account. I have set up properly on both my phone and on my computer. It has performed a sync today but only the contacts have done this successfully along with one event on my calander. On my phone, I have a message stating that 'sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly'. The problem is that it has said this for around four weeks. It seems to have gone pear shaped since I upgraded to 2.1.

So today morning I got a call from one of my college mates. Phone started ringing and when I pressed the 'receive call' button, a message saying 'Android is not responding' appeared. I selected 'Shut Down' option, hoping that it would simply shut down the phone. Since then the screen has been black, not seem to respond to touches, only thing that works is a mechanical ringer volume button on the right side of the phone.

I have a question: I recently my Xperia mini pro (the internal name is K17) get back from a repair process. In this mechanical keyboard is repaired, the way the phone is about 5 months old. After I get back the phone, I've been updating it with PC Companion to the latest Android 4 ICS, which is offered by SE here in Germany. After the update I now have the problem that the phone at least once a day, usually several times the system or maybe the screen seems to freeze. Mostly it reacts no more (the screen stays black), sometimes you can press the power button and the lights of the back and menu button lights up (the screen is still black). Only removing the battery bring the phone back to work again. After a quick phone call to the Supporthotline from SE I performed again with the PC Companion a repair installation with the Android 4 ICS. This has not solved the problem. Has anyone else experienced this? How can I fix it? Is this a hardware problem with the screen or is it the ICS update? Is there an official way back to the 2.3 Gingerbread Stock ROM without send in the phone to SE again and without losing the warranty?

I dropped my phone last week and shattered a part of the screen. The phone continued to work fine and I kept using for a week before I replaced the screen, following these instructions I found on this forum and using this part from ebay. Replacing the phone went pretty well. Now the touchscreen and other phone features work with the new screen, but the screen has black and/or green lines at the top all the time:
What problem does this look like? Did I get a bad part, or did I mess up while replacing the screen?
I also had one tiny little square rubber part on the table when I was done reassembling the phone, but all buttons are pressing normally and everything, besides the screen, is working. The part doesn't seem important, but here's what it looks like:

For no apparent reason, the screen background changes to black and when it does this, I am unable to do ANYTHING at all.....I don't even get txt/call alerts. I tried installing the PC Companion to check for updates and altho it shows on the PC, it didn't register on the phone. I've just spent over an hour fiddling around with it and searching for a solution on the net and now it has suddenly decided to work!

I just bought an 02 mini x10. It's new and came into a sealed box. But first time I switched it on nothing appears on screen. Left it to charge for a whole day (charging indicator lits up) but still nothing. But when I turn it on, the boot music/sound comes in and also I can only see the screen when under sunlight. I can see 'Silent mode " and "settings" on the screen. But the phone switches down when I press on either.

My phone doesn't boot up. This has been happening since the last 2 days. The first time it happened, i used Update Service and updated the firmware to the new 4.1.B.0.587. The phone restarted normally after the update but the phone was very laggy. And after sometime, the same issue popped up. The phone would start up to the black screen. Again I used Update Service to do a factory reset and reinstall the new firmware. Formatted the memory card too. Again this issue is there.
I called up Sony Customer Care. They asked me to use PC Companion and repair the phone software. I did that too. Still no luck..

I just tried to install the Ice Cream Sandwich unofficial firmware and when I tried to reboot it got stuck on the Sony Ericsson screen. Taking out the battery doesnt help, neither does doing any combination of buttons to get to the boot menu. I have Clockword Mod Recovery, but I cant reach that either. I did keep backups, but since I cant reach the phone in anyway, I cant enable them.
