ok, so a couple of weeks back, my xperia x10 mini pro started to mess up, the screen would suddenly become offset. then it started to not unlock, i hed to press the power button a couple of times or slide the keyboard out to unlock it. it got worse and worse until then it wouldnt unlock at all. so then i tried to take the battery out and plug it back in, but still wouldnt work. now ive been on the internet for a good 5 hours trying to get a solution, but to no avail, so heres my current situation.
When pressing the power button to turn on, the phone vibrates, the phone lights up, but then just goes dark. sometimes while it is dark and pressing the power button it will vibrate again, but nothing happens. I have tried taking the sim and sd card out, nothing changes. I cannot force it to update as when holding the back button and plugging in the usb, it just tries to start as usual and the above happens. the same happens when i try to do a hard reset bu holding the menu button and turning on and holding the other two buttons while turning on. it did this to a lesser extent before, as it wiuld reach the sony ericson screen before turning off, but unlike last time, i cannot fix it.
Also, using the PC companion or update service will not work, it will not connect and when holding the back button while plugging in, it does its usuall little performance, jus trying to turn it on normally, only it just flashes a blue-ish screen over and over.
apart from taking it for repair where they will inevitably do f*** all, what can i do?
When charging my phone (xperia x10 mini), the screen remains off while charging, but when battery is 100% charged the screen turns on, and it remains on until you disconnect the phone from the charger, like telling you "I'm already charged".
Now I can't charge my phone overnight, or I have to put something covering it, so the light doesn't bother me while sleeping.
And of course, I think the screen light will eventually break if it's switched on so many hours every day. Have you noted this or it's an issue with only my phone?
I am facing a great difficulty in sliding the micro SD card into the slot. The memory card just wont get fully inserted, only about 1/4 of it is able to get into the slot.
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.
my sk17i wifi is malfunctioning. it automatically turn on and turn off. i dont know what happen. and i always get notification for facebook,gmail. but i dont have internet connection.
Ive tried to restart my phone by taking the battery out, multiple times for the past few hours, my phone begins to load but it only loads up to three quarters of the way up the bar and freezes every time I have waited for 3 hours for it to turn on properly and it still hasnt?
I have recently got a Blackberry Curve 9360 running on O2 UK and the latest update of OS 7 and love it, but want to turn it off over night without setting times for it to turn off and on. I have looked at many posts on forums and want to fully turn it off, as when i click the 'power off' icon or hold down the end key, it just goes into standby. when i set an alarm, it gives me the option to 'turn off' or 'full power off' but they both do the same thing. a battery pull does NOT work as it just turns on again straight away.
I charged up my phone fully yesterday and it was all ok. I turned it off last night and when i tried to turn it on this morning there was no life. I have removed the battery and put it back in but this has done nothing. I have also removed the battery and SIM card and put them back in again but this hasn't helped either.We have checked the battery on a multi-meter and there is definitely charge in in so it's not that the battery has died.
I had my S6 plugged in to the charger, it became fully charged. When I went to use it, while still plugged in, I couldn't get the screen to turn on. I unplugged it, but the green "fully charged" light is STILL on and the screen won't turn on. Have tried holding down the power button...nothing.
Can the notification that the battery is charged and that the charger should be disconnected be turned off? I use my phone for a clock/alarm at night and I think the bright white notification bar (irritating in itself) will eventually burn the screen. I thought perhaps MacroDroid could do it, but I don't see that notification as an event.
Bought the mini pro two days ago and are pretty happy. It took me only a day to remove all the apps I don't like. Now the most annoying thing left is this language bar. When using the qwerty keyboard on any input field a big bar pops up which shows you your language setting, the status of the "blue" button and an "x" to close that bar. The bar not only uses a big portion of the screen, it also is pretty useless. Several programs (google mail for example) function buttons are hidden below that language bar.
So that every time you type something you have to use the little "x" on that bar to keep going. I know you can turn that bar off by unchecking "standard input". Unfortunately you turn off all the symbols and extra-signs by that too. Imagine now you are German and every second word has an Umlaut. The keyboard becomes useless. So the language bar is unavoidable. I do not want or need the onscreen keyboard. Any way around that bar without loosing the functionality of the "blue" or the "sym" button?
I have been having problem charging my phone. IT just would not turn on and the battery is not charging as well . When I try to turn it on the red light flashes. I have also changed the battery but it is of no use.
i have sonyericson xperia e10i mini and its not turning on even it doesnt show batery sign when i connect to charger, i was restoring its factory setings while conected to charger suddenely its switched off.
I cannot turn off the screen, when i press the button the screen turn off a feww seconds and turn on immediately. The battery is consumed in a short time. a problen with Android 4?, a problen with hardware?
I rang my husband on my x10 mini & when i tried to hang up i couldn't, & i cant turn the phone off, so i took out my sim card so i wouldn't be charged, but it is still saying the call is active & i now dont know what to do!!?
when i playing some games..sometime they force close?it is because the memory very low?i have a task killer and everytime it kill,the memory become more less and less...and how to turn off some application i dont use?i keep kill them but they keep restart?any idea how to turn off those application that i dont wanna use?and how to maintain the memory.
My problem is that when starting calls I put the phone to my ear and it is muted. The other end hears me, but I dont hear them. This happens most of the time, but not always.I have tested the proximity sensor and the test is OK most of the time and across most of the screen.But since this is creating such frustration, with customers loosing me on the phone, I just want the phone to work as it does on my old HTC Touch Pro:When starting a call the screen automatically goes blank and I cannot accidentally touch the mute button or anything else.Can I do this on my X10 Mini Pro?Alternatively, can I move the mute button to somewhere else on the screen or remove it entirely?
I just picked this very nice phone up yesterday from Point Roberts in Washington State, where I have an address box I use to get packages that can't be shipped to Vancouver, BC, Canada where I live. I got it from Amazon.com.When I got home and tried to connect ot my wi-fi net work it would say turning on wi-fi, and then it would turn off wi-fi! I called SE customer support and spent an hour on the phone with customer support and did the software upgrade to android 4, which they said would solve the problem. It didn't. When I click on wi-fi it still says turning on wi-fi, and gets no further. The scan and add network buttons don't function. The bluetooth does the same thing, won't turn on. They told me to try to connect to another network, but I told them it doesn't even turn on wi-fi so how can I connect to a network?I've tried the repair function and updated the software several times, but nothing changes, it always says wi-fi and bluetooth are turning on and get no further.
I found others on here who solved the problem with software, so I'm sure mine can be solved, just wanna know how. I've even tried using it with and without a sim card in it, but always the same result. WI-FI WON'T EVEN TURN ON!SE said it is defective and needs to be either returned to the store I got it at, which is in NY, or send it in for service. I just got it, it was brand new unopened and doesn't work. Before I bought it I did an online chat with them to make sure any unit bought in the USA would still have warranty service in Canada and was told yes, any SK17A had USA and Canada warranty regardless of if it's bought in Canada or the USA. Now of course after I bought it, the supervisor at SE customer support says he thinks it won't be covered under warranty in Canada because it was bought in the US!I also didn't realize that the headset connector is OMTP and not CTIA, which my Klispch S4A android earset is and won't work. I asked Sony if they make an adaptor between OMTP and CTIA and they said they don't, later on with some googling I found out they do!
I might have to buy the Livesound earset, since it gets me compatibility and adds remote functions. Problem is I don't know if the sound will be as good as my Klipsch, which are terrific. I like the phone, obviuosly just want it to work. If it does, I will probably buy the Livesound earset.Brand new phone is apparently defective. Was not told this wi-fi issue is a common problem and is posted all over the internet.When I called back today, they said they had no record of me in the system and I didn't actually call them yesterday! Sony is now doubting Canada warranty for USA phone they previously said was covered before I bought it.I might have to pay to send phone back to store, even though it is defective out of the box.OMTP headset plug is poorly indicated on Website. I would probably not have bought it knowing it is not CTIA compatible without adapter.Being not told the truth about headset adapter availablity.
I got a Samsung Galaxy S5 yesterday (moving over from a windows phone) and it's taking some getting used to. The lack of a 'silent' function is annoying, but the part that is strange is the fully charged notification.
I suffer from insomnia and I finally got to sleep last night, only to be woken up by the phone vibrating to let me know it was fully charged. I wasn't able to get back to sleep for hours then, and I'm dreading it happening again tonight! How can I turn this notification off?
