Xperia Mini/pro :: Unable To Receive Calls After Long USB Tethering Period
Aug 31, 2012
Here are some details about the phone:
model number: SK17i
android version: 4.0.4, build number: 4.1.B.0.431
baseband version: 8x55A-AAABQOAZM-203028G-72
I use USB tethering a lot, and sometimes for very long times. When I disconnect the phone, sometimes, my phone becomes unable to receive calls. And even worse, the caller hears the normal calling sound, but my phone just doesn't do anything. So to the caller it seems that I'm just not answering, although the phone isn't notifying me in any way, during the call or after the call! So there is no way telling how many calls I'm missing..
When I try "reset" the mobile network by going to flight mode and back, the phone completely locks, and I have to remove the battery to reboot the phone. This problem won't go away unless I reboot the phone. This happens awfully often, regardless if I click USB tethering off from the phone first before disconnecting it. The most important function is not working and makes the "phone" useless.
I was just checking my emails and the screen suddenly went blank. I removed the battery and then turned the cellphone on again. It could turn on again, but some settings were gone (VPN settings and Mobile Networks). I did the "Settings Reset", but it didn't work, nothing happened.
I can't receive phone calls and or texts, nor can I go online thru my Mini pro. What's wrong with my cellphone?
I purchased Xperia Mini Pro (Black colour) on 15th March 2012. Am not able to receive files transferred from other mobile phones using Bluetooth.
I go to Settings-->Wireless and Network-->Bluetooth. I switched on Bluetooth and device visibility. I accept the passcode and I am able to pair with other mobile phone.
But while the file is getting transferred from othe mobile phone, my Xperia mini pro suddenly stops transfer and says, "failed to receive file".
The mobile has simcard and 2GB memory card. how to make file fransfers from other mobile working using bluetooth.
it possible to make long (for example, 2 hours) voice recordings? Even though I have 32GB card in the phone it looks like it will only record 6m18s in the Messaging > More > Other Messages > Audio Message option. It seems a waste to have to use the Video Recorder to get a long message.
i hv been using sk17i for a month now...its has been great..but for d past 2 days i m unable to make any voice calls....it shows that call barring service is disabled.
I work out in the middle of nowhere quite often, where phone signal is either very weak, or non-existent. (I am with Orange BTW). The problem seems to be that when I have been out of signal range for a while, (shortest period so far about 30 mins), and I come back into range, my BB doesn't automatically pick the signal up. The only way that I know to re-gain the signal, is to turn the phone off (red button not battery re-boot!) and back on again. The phone then finds the signal and everything is normal again......that is until I go out of range again! Is there a shortcut to re capture the mobile signal rather than off/on?
error: Randomly I am unable to answer calls due to onscreen keyboard being in the way of the slider.I have updated to Build Number:4.0.A.2.368 via the Sony Ericsson Companion Software.
I am starting to get really annoyed with my phone, when I make voice calls I'm not able to lock the screen so that the touch screen is disabled?? and in doing so I either end up putting the call on mute, hold or even hang up!I have tried all I can think of, I have just updated my phone to the latest software 5 days ago and seemed ok for 2/3 days but now the darn bug is back. Is this a downside to the phone or am I doing something wrong?
I am using my set as a modem by tethering to PC through USB cable...now problem is that while set is USB plugged it is charging...so when it is 100% charged can it be overcharged if i keep it plugged for using net...does overcharge effect battery life??
My phone lost connection and hasn't been able to find a network for calls/texts etc for past 24 hours in multiple locations where I know there is a good network signal from other phones here. I've tried upgrading the software through PC companion and that hasn't resolved the issue. (It's not in airplane mode and I've also tried powering on/off/on, cleaning SIM card etc)
X8 cannot receive long SMS.. i've done filtering, internal memory is 120mb, no downloaded apps,changed sim cards. this is such a disappointment. its only weeks that i can receive long sms. only software repair can solve the problem but its very tedious to repair and repair every 5 days. im losing my faith in my X8.
I have just updated my phone's firmware to version 4.1.B. The updating went on well. After updating I turned on my phone and it started optimizing with my apps and that went well too. Then I was browsing through my phone's settings option and went to tethering and wifi hotspot option and turned on the bluetooth tethering. After that my phone rebooted and it keeps on rebooting on itself. It wont connect to my PC. I tried removing the battery but when I turn it on its the same thing.
I got ICS update to my Xperia Mini 2days back. I found the USB tethering is not working when i connect it with my laptop. I use my phone to browse internet me to fix it. BTW portable WiFi hotspot is working perfectly.Also there is another small problem, which is when i play a video in gallery, i see gray coloured field under the video, which suppose to be black..I should also say that the video displying quality has been slightly reduced after the update, even the BRAVIA engine is turned on...videos which played in superb quality, now display like low quality videos.
My phone dosent recieve texts messages but will recieve calls. A messages comes up everytime i try to go into my messages saying "the aplication messaging has stoppped unepectedly.
Windows 7 seems to take ages to start using the phone's connection, after you change the connection type.The internet and sharing center thing hangs for like ten minutes, then it connects.Ubuntu doesn't seem to suffer from this problem.
when comes the Android update for my mini pro or how long to wait for my number? SI 12503569, because that said for july all teams were free for android 4
whenever i open the album, it takes a lot of time (approx. 0.45- 1 min) to display all the pictures. I have less than 100 pictures.What could be the reason for this? Also, Is there a way to change the view option for pictures from Thumbnail to List, Icons etc?
I had W350i which had a CD of PC Suite which had the facility of typing long SMS by connecting mobile phones with PC and then type from computer's keyboard long SMS but how can I do it now, I have Xperia X10 Mini Pro, I don't know that PC companion has this facility because it is too heavy to install as my web connection is not good enough? Is there anyone has the solution? It has 2.1 Android.
my Xperia mini pro turn off when the phone is idle for too long. when i wake up in the morning my phone is off.. i dont know why. when i on the phone using the power button it will not on instead i must remove and put back the battery again so that it will on again.and i also observe that the date and time of my phone reset.. what could be the possible solution for my phone?
I have upgraded my SK17i to ICS when I first bought it and update it again with 587 update last months. But my phone have this lag problem so, I thought I repair it via PC Companion today. The problem is, phase 3 (updating) phase doesn't seems to progress. The progress bar is at zero for an hour now and my internet is connected.
Update: This is taking too long for me to wait, I'm cancelling the update by clicking the [x] button. I hope it doesn't touch anything on the system and just downloading the update file.
Update 2: I cannot boot my phone now, it shows yellow triangle with exlamation mark.
I am having an issue where I typed a really long text over 5 SMS pages and it turned it into a MMS and tried sending it even though I had no multimedia attachment. How can I unchange this so it only sends text messages as SMS? any options or configs?
The update started in June, 2012 and its end October now. How long will it take me to get ICS on my phone or should i stop bothering coming to this forum for update !
I have a pearl flip 8220, File free = 68,920,695 bytes . It 's 3 months old, and suddenly stopped recieving calls. Other thibgs are working just fine, I am able to make calls and all. But when an incoming call is coming, it rings once and then hangs up on the caller. On the display it shows 1 missed call... why is my bb hanging up on people and not letting me talk?
