After Sending/ending SMS/Calls - Radio Signal lost for 1-2seconds - XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have a very strange and worrying effect on my new X1. I tried several 6.1er Roms (TouchIT) and also 6.5ROMS (now at gtrab BB 3.61) - also had different types of RADIO 1.14, 1.16 (the latest) - but always the same effect. Before I had a HTC Touch but no similar behaviour.
After sending an SMS or ending a call the Radio strength bar goes to "!" and no connection for about 1-2seconds. not always but often it happens like this. Even if it would just be something in displaying a good connection in a wrong way, WHY.
Does anyone else have this too?????
Thanks for feedback
Norbert

Can't believe that noone ever experienced something similar.
And to say this clear its not like this has some influence to my usage of the phone, but it is strange to see signal go and come back after seconds after sending SMS and after finishing calls, not always but from time to time.

I have the same issue on my Touch PRO, but I cant resolve problem.......
I try several ROM-s but its the same.
Phone calls is still works but SMS, MMS,.... in that moment isn't.

hey, I have the same problem as well
and I have no idea how to reslove it neither ...... hi5, or not? =.=

Hi,
I've had this strange problem since 1month back on my X1. The radio turns off after almost every phone call and sometimes never turns on again.
I have to soft reset phone to turn it on again sometimes.
Anyone that knows a solution to this problem?

Im getting really mad over this stupid problem.
Do any one have a solution? please share then..
Thanks for all tips!

yea i actually have this problem too!
i am on generic rom r3a with vodafone

yep me too ... but to be honest I ve kind of made my peace with the signal problems of this phone ... when I m on my desk in my study, the phone moves from four bars to no signal depending on where I put it on the desk (funnily there is no position on my desk that always gives me full signal - its always a different one) .. if I move the phone from say the full signal position to my ear I lose signal completely ... it d be funny if it wasnt annoying ... but I dont think there is anything u can do (besides moving to an area where u constantly have good signal)

This problem is so sick. Sometimes I have to soft reset phone after disconnecting phone calls. Is this hardware related? Maybe service centre can fix or replace the phone ?

shange, this sounds like a real problem. In my case the signal loss is also annoying, but after 5 seconds everything works normal again, so I never had to reset my phone after any call or sms finished. BTW I do not have stock firmware flashed -> SEX1 BB by gtrab.

Have you tried to use a different SIM card?

we are all on different networks and experiencing the same problem so i think it must be the phone
SONY ERICSSON Please address this problem

PROBLEM : Call drops after first ring?

Hi,
I'm having trouble with my Diamond. When a private number calls, it gets dropped after the first ring, before I get a change to get then phone even out of my pocket?
Its really frustrating... and its starting to do it on number, unbarred numbers?
Has anybody seen anything like this before? It doesn't happen all the time, but its getting pretty consistent!
I'm running SwiftBL 5.6 and Radio 100.05.25
Please help!

yes, I'm experiencing the same thing too and I'm using the official 1.93 rom.
as far as I know, it doesn't only affect private call and the problem is very random.
What I notice is the phone will keep ringing until you press any button or the touchscreen to answer or mute the call and that's the time the phone will drop the call....hoping to find solution too....
I had the same problem with the HTC 1.93 ROM. Changing radios made no difference. Switched to Swift v5.6 and all is OK. BTW am in UK on Orange.
even with 1.37 rom, i'm also having the problem....wonder does anyone know what's the problem and solution....
I had this problem after I've tried to sort out the 3 sec delay problem... After a Hard Reset and not playing with the 3 sec delay problem everything is fine....

hmm....I didn't mess with that delay at all but still the problem is there...
Lay your phone on the table and try again.
Most comes with the problem in your pocket.
As soon as the phone rings the touchscreen is enabled and it drops the call because it thinks you pressed ignore.
This problem can be solved by s2u2.
I had the same problem and solved it with this program.
It blockes your touchscreen unless you slide it from left to right completely.
Grtzzzz
Yeah, thats exactly it I think... because its always in my pocket, but I have the HTC case, which by the time I've either take it out of my pocket or out of the case, the call has gone!
Does anybody have a link for that app s2u2.
I will try this... because I tried changing the ringer settings and all sorts, and nothing helped! All the iPhone and N95 guys are slagging me at work! Apart from that its by far the best phone in the office
Cheers for the help!
Will report back if I find that and app if it works!

definitely not due to that problem. Numerous time, my phone was not in my pocket but on the desk already. A couple of time when the phone ring, I pick it up and press the answer button(touchscreen and hardware button) but it just drop the call....haizzzz
No one else has this problem?
I'm getting exactly the same problem (I'm using the official Vodafone 1.93 ROM)...really annoying!
I am getting this problem too... anybody have a solution? Whenever a private number comes in, when i click on the answer tab, the call will just disconnect... this is very fustrating...
I also get this issue, always with a private number and sometimes with a stored number. At first I thought it was becuase I was touching the screen when I first took the phone out of my pocket but like someone else said this also happens when its on a table.
Any help would be really appreciated!!

Strange audio issue

It now happened for the third time: The phone is up and running but when an incoming call is received it does not ring at all and the microphone + speaker is also not working (muted) - basically there is no audio at all though you can take and end the call.
Once the phone is in this state alarms and sound notifications are no longer working as well, after a soft reset everything was fine again.
I wonder if I'm the only user who has experienced this kind of issue.

well foo, i got it to, but i had the same problem wuth my diamond as well, it went away with tge officual rom update, so ill guess well have to wait foor the rom upgrade this time to.
Ah okay - at least I'm not alone with this issue, good to know.
It seems this problem is not a common problem, as I do not read any other posts regarding this issue in the Xperia section. Though I found a thread in the Diamond section that exactly describes my problem.
As HTC stated the problem is related to a hardware issue, I returned mine now. I'm lucky that Amazon.de just returned me the money (completely) so I can buy another one in the next days.
It seems I am having this problem with my X1i. I am in the US and the Sony Ericsson support centre in the UK is telling me that I would have to pay for shipping to and from the UK Sony Repair centre.
The following web page suggests I am eligible for international support and repairs, but I called the US Sony Ericsson line and they told me that since the X1 was not released here yet, that I would not be able to receive support in the US for the X1 (either for getting it repaired or a replacement unit).
http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/sup...endedserviceoffertailoredforx1/x1?cc=gb&lc=en
I would send it back to superetrader.co.uk and get a replacement that way, but they do not have any in stock and given delays in shipments in the UK I am hesitant to send it back and wait for new stock.
I am going to try going into a Sony Style store sometime this week and show them my "Travelers service" card and see if they can get it fixed here. Does anyone have any other suggestions I might try?
bluetooth problem with carkit and audio off
I folks,
i do also have the same problem. I have a SE BT car kit HCB 300 and it is just annoying, that it does not work proper. Sometimes BT works, sometimes not, sometimes i have to restart the phone, sometimes ... just annoying.
A lot of times Xperia recognizes the 300, then i am calling somebody, phone is giving signal to the 300, but after a few seconds, audio is off again.
After that audio is not working anymore.
Could it be, that your problems are also caused by the known BT problem?
Ingo
Exactly same problem
Exactly the same problem as foo.
If you remove and replace battery, sometime problem is solve, sometime no.
Soft reset solve the problem.
I made hardware reset + flash xperia but no solution.
I returned mine and bought a new one that does not have this issue. It really seems to be a hardware issue.

It could be, although I have not paired with a BT headset since buying it, and in addition I have hard reset the phone and put it in airplane mode (no RF at all) and the audio still manages to completely die where only a Soft Reset will restore the sound (as noted by x1inside).
Depending on the amount of time I leave the phone sometimes the phone after playing some music for 5 seconds will stutter and restore sound. This is similar to the description in the Touch Diamond thread that foo linked. Also when this stutter sound restores, as noted in that thread, the reception indicator in the system tray indicates that the signal is temporarily lost and then restored.

Thanks for letting us know, good to have this confirmed so when I visit the store or send it to Sony Ericsson repair centre, I can refer them to this thread.
well i also have the same problem with my x1.
reseting it dosent work, flashing it with new rom dosent work.
But i cant understand how the problem would be in the hardware, when you reset it it starts working! i mean if it was a hardware problem the sound should be of all the time?
Is there ant possibility if this is a software problem, i mean WindowsMobile 6.1, because my dad complaining the same behavior yesterday, and his device is Samsung Omnia.
Do all WM6.1 effected?
I got the X1a in the US. No problem here. When there is an incoming call and I was on the phone then it will beep to let me know if I want to answer or inorge. If I answer then it will put other call on hold till finish talking then connect me back to the first caller.
My x1 is also affected by this audio problem. If I restart my phone sound output works for some minutes and turns automatically off as the other users reported.
Same problem here just got an X1 and the sound works perfect after leaving it a short while the sound completely stops working no music, notifications or anything. By the sounds of it I think I will send mine back to O2 and get a replacement, although it does seem more like some sort of software fault than hardware to me, like the previous post why would it be corrected by a soft reset every time. If anyone has any suggestions before I send this thing back I will be happy to try them.
I returned my x1 and after 5 weeks of "repairing" I got called and they said it cannot be repaired and I got a brand new phone.
I had that exact same problem. I'd leave my phone alone for a while and then when I came back to it a few hours later, it would have no audio at all. I could make a call, the other person could hear me but I couldn't hear them and it wouldn't audibly alert me to anything...
I couldn't pin it down to any particular circumstances but it was always resolvable with a soft-reset. A hard-reset didn't cure the issue either. I just sent it back in the end. My current one is fine although I have now upgraded the ROM to the latest one.
I do have one outstanding issue though and that's that when sending a text, it sends immediately, flashes up the bubble saying msg sent, but the vibrate from sending the message will come about 10 minutes after or it'll do it when I turn the screen back on. It's not a biggie but it's a bit weird.
scarey
I have the same prob, but its strange that when pushing the MS-Voice-Controll button the beep comes and everything works perfekt again.
So I donĀ“t need to soft oder hard reset, but it drives me crazy not knowing whether my alarms or notifications do work or not. BUT: I cant believe its a hardware problem.
same problem...
With 3-4 custom rom...
I'm trying with orginal ROM...
Any news?

Services goes in and out

My tilt recently has been acting rather strange, and I'm not sure if its the radio or not. The phone keeps on gaining and losing signal, and cannot figure out why. At first I thought it might be a software problem, but I updated the rom to the newest official release and that did not fix the problem. Does anyone have a suggestion? The problem isn't reception, I've never had this trouble until recently, has always worked fine in this area regardless of weather / other.
not sure if it's the same issue...
I had the problem few weeks back..
my tytn would be having no signal at times..
I nid to go to Comms Panel and off/on the Phone.
after few days, encountered no SIM Card detected error.
hard reset and changing ROMs, including stock ROM didn't help.
now it's being repaired..
hope to get it back soon.
its horrible that you mention that, my warranty literally ran out about 5 days ago . However, based on the fact that I've done just about everything I could on the software end, I think it might be hardware (even though I haven't really even put this phone through any trauma whatsoever). The radio part of the phone....does anyone know which specific part that is? I don't remember seeing an individual radio in the disassembly, so I assume that it is on one of the boards. Does anyone know which one specifically?
mine was subjected to a few drops on the floor hehe..
but it was ok...
it was only recently that I encountered those issues...
if U can try get hold of the tytn II assembly/dis-assembly pictures, U might be able to remove the antenna pcb/board...
I only cleaned the metal connectors at the antenna board area.. no joy..

X1 freezes? or doesn't wake up.

Hey guys,
I'm facing a very weird problem. I'm somehow facing a very weird problem with my X1, when I install ROM's (to be precise: itje's and the energy rom).
The problem occurs quiet often. As you all might know, the display turns itself off if you don't use your X1. However, usually it is supposed to come back to life when you press the "Power"-button. However, mine doesn't react, thus meaning, I have to do a soft-reset in order to get it back to life.
Which is pretty annoying, since I'm missing all my phone calls, and neither do I receive SMS. I asked a friend of mine to phone me, and the calls goes through, however the X1 does not react as it is supposed to be.
Would be great if someone could help me out

Can i ask you witch radio u are using. i think my problem came after i updated the radio but i'm not shure
I'm actually using the latest Korean one ... 1.16 I guess.

Microphone problem?

I've noticed one week ago that ppl on the other side started to complain about quality of "my voice". They hear some kind of interference, screech etc. It happen even when I'm in full bars (Egde, 3g etc).
My X1 was never droped and I've never sit on it.
Tried to turn on and off the Microphone AGC, reflashed ROM - nothing has changed.
Is there anything else I can do with it without sending it to SE?
regards.
D-fens
Another problem or maybe the progress of the same. My Microphone is dead - amost. Sometimes it won't work and nobody hear me and sometimes slidin' the slider few times helps for a while. Maybe it's the Flex Tape? Don't know but it drives me mad. Hate my X1....
No similiar problems? Anyone? Am I the one without luck?
If you have flashed it and the problem is still there, it means the issue is hardware and not software related.
Flashed, hardreseted twice. Damn, X1 is going for a trip to service
