HI
I send my phone in 3x now in just 2 months because the touch screen stops working. I want back to stock rom with no 3d party software installed, but the screen is going bad again! (works , stops working, works etc)
Now the main battery shows drained in only a few hours with no wifi / GPRS / or calls
Could a faulty main battery cause a problem like this?
What else could cause this?
The screen has been replaced once by SE.
third strike ? ask for a new one !
yes, thaqt phone born bad!!!!!! ask for a new one today!!!!

I am facing several problems with my xperia x1 that a purchased a couple of months back, it has no warranty
1. Bluetooth
the bluetooth of the deice is not functioning and cannot be switched on, i have tried hard reset and several roms but it has not worked. when i switch on the cell and go to comm. manager it shows that bluetooth is working but when i search for devices it gives error after some time and switches off
2. Wifi
the problem is same as that of bluetooth, it is off and remains off...
3. Overheating
the device overheats during charging, takes a long time to charge.... the battery only lasts few hours... the device remain slightly heated even when it is switched off... i believe that the problem is linked to the above two problems, but once i have searched other threads, i believe others are also facing this problem but they do not seem to have problem with wifi or bluetooth
4. Cracks
the body is cracked at three places, near the camera, and the inside battery cover
used, t300, k500, k750, w880, w960 (still using) and now this one, but this seems to have a lot of problems for no reason... i have never had any problem with any of the sets that i have used before
please if anyone can help and atleast resolve the heating problem, cause the set is unusable if it has battery time of arount 6 to 7 hours.... if theres any hardware issue, can it be repaired? if not, im afraid i ve made a dead investment,
ooook NOW its X2
now i got x2, its brand new
but the video playback (youtube) isnt sharp nor smooth
what do i do/nstall to make things better
rest is great
i wish it had a more powerful processor
but HELP
Hi. Im a new user of this forum, therefore hello evereybody.
I need your help because I don´t know if I´ve a problem with mi moto g 2014.
I bought it 4 months ago. A month ago, I charged it off (like many times), and then, I switch on. So, when the display was loaded, the brithness suddenly began to increase and decrease very fast. It was as if the light (dimly) move quickly, as if screen shakes.
That lasted 10 seconds, and then dissapeared.
Today, again, it occurs the same; with same conditions. Sorry, but I haven´t photos or videos.
Otherwise, the phone is perfect; without screen problems. Only that occasionally the transitions dissapear during 3 -4 hours (when I go to hombescreen, there are´nt transitions; and then appears after 3-4 hours).
I wonder if you ever happen, because I do not want to have to delete all information to send it for service, and in the end, they did not fix anything (which has already happened with other mobile).
Thanks for your help. happy to be in this forum . Regards
I think its a hardware problem. visit SC
Sorry, what is SC?
Thank you.
Hi,
my xperia v's touch screen broke about 2 weeks ago, so I take it to a workshop and they replace it with a new one (certainly it's not as the old one's quality)
But my big problem is:
my mobile go to Sleep of death after 30 minutes.
How can I fix it?
I installed about 5 different roms (among 9.2.A.2.5_CE4 (android 4.3)) and some custom roms but the problem still remain.
Please help me!
Hello guys, how're you doing?
My Sony Xperia z1 started making me mad due to several problems.
PS: I'm running android 5.1.
1- Erratic touchscreen:
the touchscreen sometimes starts moving things (open app or notification bar etc...) without touching it
2- Battery
sometimes the battery drop by 10% or 15% randomly
3- Overheating:
my phone became hot after 2 minutes or using the camera!
so, I'm wondering if someone could help me fix one of those problems
sorry for my bad english
Thank in advance
ok, the camera overheating is normal if you're using it for long time, the battery may be for time of use this phone is 4 years old and battery begin to fail try some app to calibrate it if doesn't work replace it and screen touch have you change the screen? if change try to put a black wallpaper and test if the problem persist when you go to home( in developer options check the "show inputs" option and check), and try a stock rom to verify if problems remains.

thank you for the reply bro!
1- The battery is JUST 2 years old!
2- My friend's Z1 start overheating after 10 minutes of using the camera, which is soo good. My phone is overheating after 2 minutes!
3 I'm using an original Rom, I'm not familiar with CFW on Sony! I tried the developpers option and found some problems in the corners of the screen and the phone ramdomly rebooted while I was testing it.
try to flash and do a full wipe then test it again if keeps the same it's probably a hardware problem, the touch can be minimize with screen protector but the battery an camera it's hard to manage.
sorry for my bad English it's not my native language

Allright bro, I'll give it a try. Actually, am not using a screen protector because I'm looking to fix this problem before buying a new screen protector.
I'm having the same problem with my touchscreen, I can't use the phone for more than 5 minutes without having the need to turn it off and on again to go back to normal. This is making me very mad that I'm considering to change my phone to any deep **** cheap phone that has a good screen that I can use normally..
I don't know if it's a software related or hardware, I flashed stock frimware many times and nothing changed, I recently had an urge idea to remove the stock screen protector (that has sony logo) hoping that the problem will get solved, but I guess it won't..
If anyone has an idea to solve this I and OP would be very grateful..
the screen touch is a hardware problem try to lower screen brightness and put a dark screensaver, it's somehow related with the contrast of the screen but not sure how to solve it completely the previously and a screen protector only make it usable but don't solve completely the issue.
sorry but that's all I know
Hi everyone,
Almost all sensors stoped working after few days on my brand new Pixel 5 :
Failing sensors :
- Proximity sensor
- Accelerometer
- Gyroscope
- Compas
And maybe others I don't know of...
Fingerprint & cameras are still working.
I've contacted Google support, and they advise me to clean my screen :-/
I'll try a factory reset today before asking for a replacement unit, but my hope is low...
Anyone facing the same issue ?
Any advise ?
Edit :
After a factory reset : same situation
Same here. Had phone for about ten days. All seemed to work. Then thinks went weird over several days. First thing I noticed when going to hang up a call I was no longer presented with phone dialler screen. During calls phone was also spontaneously switching to handsfree. I suspect this was wall tilt related. Then camera images were in incorrect orientation. Google photos not longer rotating images and so on. Installed a sensor app and it reported gyroscope as missing. Clean booted - no change. Factory Reset and still no change. Arranged for an exchange with Google. While waiting for that to pan out, after about a day the gyroscope has come back to life. Although presently reporting no compass. Doe the P5 have a compass?
Anyhow given it working again now I am wondering if some power saving activity is killing the Gyroscope? Waht was the out come with your sensor failure. Did they recover or did you need to exchange?

I tried a random app from the store : Sensor Test with my bad unit and it reported 0 sensor !
I've exchanged my P5 and now the same app reports 30 sensors.
While waiting for the exchange , mine never came back to life : can't rotate, screen stayed on during calls (and auto brightness not working), compass was not working in Maps...
Also on the faulty unit I noticed that the OTA update tooks ages (30 minutes or so, for a ~30MB update). On the new unit, the same uptate took just a normal reboot time.
Thankyou for the update.
While mine has a working gyroscope (at the moment) the proximity sensor is still borked and the screen stays on during calls. I just installed the Sensor Test app and it says I have 16 sensors!
30 for me

30 sensors also for me.
Oh my god yes exactly this happened to my phone since yesterday. No auto rotation, no auto brightness, no tap2wake.
I have to send mine back, I hate it. Sensor app does not recognize a single sensor. Factory reset didn't help either
When rebooting like 10 times it changes between 0, 1 and 16 sensors.
I factory reset my phone again and that made it worse. Has gone from 16 to 0 on Sensors Test!
Has lost screen rotation again.

At this point, you should contact Google Support and ask for an exchange.
Like my old one, I doubt this is a software issue...
I hope my new one does not have this flaw.... but this definitely hurt my confidence in P5 devices....
Sounds like issue with corrupt persist partition caused by update gone wrong.

Indeed ! I didn't know about this.
But it seems that the solution is to root the device, and this void the warranty (Google asked me if it was rooted before the exchange).
Weird. It did not happen to mine right after an update, more like 20 days later. Btw Google did not ask me if I rooted the device, which I haven't, but I did unlock the Bootloader for a short period of time to use the android flash tool from Google.
I'm not very familiar with partitions on android but all I can say is that a newly flashed stock firmware from Google itself did not help me
All my sensors work according to that app - it shows 30 sensors every time I launch it - except the proximity sensor sometimes does not actually work right. I was noticing an issue because KinScreen would think my proximity sensor was covered and would turn the screen off because the proximity sensor looked to be covered when it was not, even though the app should have kept the screen on. I downloaded multiple sensor testing apps and the proximity sensor works most of the time but sometimes it does not. Weird. Not sure if I should exchange the phone, I got this with AT&T.

Took a couple of weeks, but I now have a replacement unit. 30 sensors showing and all working properly now. I took it for granted how reliant these devices are on having sensors working for basic things like the phone to work properly. Glad I found this thread and was able to get it sorted out. thanks for the help.
I had to get a replacement PIxel 5 through AT&T for the broken proximity sensor. This one works fine.
Couple of weeks?
I got a new device within 4 days where 3 days were for shipping
Just out of curiosity, am I the only one Google asked if I have rooted my device before sending it back ?
They asked me 5 questions for the warranty (I live in France/EU btw):
- Has the device been impacted, or is the screen damaged?
- Has the device come into contact with liquid?
- Has the device been in contact with a heat source?
- Has the device been rooted?
- Has the device been repaired by unauthorized personnel?

I started an RMA process on their website and no I'm not 100% sure about the other stuff but I'm sure they didn't ask if I was rooted.
Germany
I see where Google announced that a fix in the December update could possibly fix the sensor issue for some. I'm guessing you guys got the update and it didn't work huh.
idk I got a new device in december
