Xperia Mini/pro :: Sk17i/sk17a Turns Off When Locking Screen?
Dec 12, 2011
I just bought my new sk17i a few days ago, its 11W42 at the back, build number 4.0.2.A.0.58 running android 2.3.4. Unfortunately the phone is unusable as it keeps either turning itself off, or totally locking up (I'm not sure which). It won't re-awaken using either the on/off switch or the home button. Also the camera performance, my x10 mini camera is far better than the mini pro. but the main issue here is the device sk17i turns itself off.
I have recently upgraded my android version to 4.0, i don't know if the cause comes from the upgrade, but some times when i start a game on my phone the screen keeps flashing when i reload the game the screen is back to normal. Is there a fix or something for this?
I am an addition to that list wherein the touch of my phone has gone completely dead. Have tried the repair option via the PCC but that has not helped. Rebooting multiple times has had no impact. Although the soft keys on the phone still operate but the touch has become completely unresponsive.
On older version of SK17i firmware - there was a nice screen lock effect (like on old analog TVs).It is gone after updating to the newest version of firmware (4.0.2.A.0.62). how to re-enable it?
I have a sony ericcson xperia mini pro sk17i.It restarts continuously and the home screen is never displayed Is there a way in which i can do a hard reset of my phone's software either by holding the volume keys and power button or something similar to this? Phone does not start so i cant even go anywhere into the settings.
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 have my Sony sk17a, iīm stay in Latin America and, when i search my model sl 1251-9442 donīt appears in the list than have upgrade, i want to know why, and if have upgrade when come to my country. iīm very sad, because itīs excellent smartphone and i donīt want to change.
I bought my Xperia SK17a a few months back in Vancouver, I then moved to Mexico, I unlocked it here in Mexico and it has always worked fine except for one thing: when I plug in my headphones I can hear my media just fine, but then if I unplug them the phone won't detect that it no longer has the headphones and so the sound and media will keep playing as if it the headphones were still plugged, obviously I can't hear nothing coming out from the built-in speaker because it keeps sending the sound to the 3.5 mm jack. Sometimes I can make it work, this will only happend if I shut down my phone or if I slightly plug in my headphones on the jack but not enought to get the music , after I do that I can hear a constant "tap-tap-tap-tap" as if someone was knocking the door, however I can't always do that or it dosn't always works. I can also hear that "taptaptap..." sound when I record or make a call and have the built-in speaker working, such speaker stop working the second I plug in and out my headphones and if I record a video with the headphones plugged or the speakers not working I can no longer hear such tapping on the video. Also, if i plug in the headphones I can no longer hear anything during a call, but they can indeed hear me, If i want to hear the other person I'd have to plug in my headphones or pray for a miracle to happen.
Just recently noticed that my data consumption was getting higher and higher, it started 2 days ago that now my e-mail app is consuming 1.65 GB of background activity and I have received a SMS from my data supplier that I have used 90% of my capacity for this month! Also this is draining up my battery like crazy , in less than 1 hour my battery went from 100 to 55 ... My cellphone model is SK17A. Could it be for the ICS update?
There is a constant green light on, the keyboard lights up, I can still answer the phone by guessing where to press on the touch screen, but the screen won't show anything.
I heard that the meny of users this phone have already update to 4.0. I use PCC and... nothink.. I just wondering:It will be able to do update?When will be update for phones from Poland?
LED notification not working on my Sony Ericsson Xperia mini Pro Sk17i anymore for any app (like any.do, calender etc). I have also noticed that reminder is not working while the screen is off, it's work only when the screen is on. it's really annoying. Please fix this issue as soon as possible.It dosen't even work for calender too.
something to resolve this issue as soon as possible. Update: Sometimes reminders even get delayed for few minutes. In some forum i have heard that , this problem is happening for Something "wakelock" which is not optimised.
I am currently searching for a new camera app that would enhance my camera/photo shoots. So far I have been using Camera 360.Mind if you share your own apps too? What are the Pros and Cons?
My Xperia Mini Pro [SK17i] is not detected by PC Companion under both Windows XP & Seven. The device works fine in Mass Storage Mode, so the connectivity cable & ports are alright. Then I tried with the 'Device Manager' Updating, Uninstalling & Reinstalling & even changing the ports. The device still fail to start in MTP Mode as the Windows 7 would say.
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 have Sk17i phone and recently the screen of it got damaged. But now as per service center, It will cost me 11k rupees for the repair. The phone cost is 13.5k? How can the maintenance cost be too high?
i bought a sk17i about a week ago and after reading another user's post of telling about the bad quality of SK17i i'm abit worriedwhen i kept my phone power on for more than about two days its "Menu key" stopped responding. but it was fine after i restarted it. and two days after that the same thing happened to the "Back key". but it also became normal after restarting it.i saw in a forum, they say to restart the phone once a day to refresh the memory. but that's a big ****. i had nokia c5-03 earlier and it didn't gave me such trouble.
As I bought Sony Xperia Mini Pro SK17i, I came to realize that it has no option to video call in 3G network. This phone has any third party software to make 3G network video call.
my front camera on xminipro is not working ,ive done factory reset already a few times but still the icon is missing.i have not done any upgrade on my phone either.and also can i do the update using my sd card,instead of usb cable?
