Hey. I had some problems with vibrations recently - they did not want to work at all. Eventually, after installing a few roms and kernels, I had to give my phone to the repair service. They managed to fix the problem (or did they ? The phone had some better moments when the vibrations were broken, so maybe they just let it "rest" and found out that it's working again). Anyways, after a week or so, I have the same problem. I had my phone overclocked to 19-729Mhz with SmartassV2 governor. After restoring the default setting, after around 4 hours the phone has it's vibrations back. My question is - is there any connection between those two things ? Maybe the phone gets too much heat and somehow stops the vibrating thing ?
Regards
Try full wipe...

Umm... you didn't quite get what I tried to say there. I fully wiped the phone countless times before when the problem appeared for the first time. Flashing new kernels and installing new ROMs did not help, so I gave the phone to the repair service. After a few days with my phone being overclocked I had the same situation as before. Now after I switched to default CPU settings, my vibrations are back after +/- 4 hours. Wiping data and cache has really nothing to do with it.
Regards
So maybe it is just like You said - OC causes overheating and some connections on MOBO may not work due to temperature. What is the biggest OC without rebooting on Your mobile?

As I said in the 1st post, I managed to run it for a week with 729Mhz. Then the vibrations stopped working. I'll keep my phone on 600Mhz for a while and see if it's the issue.
Unfortunately, after those few hours, my vibrations decided to stop working again. Guess it's time to give it to the repair service again...
Well maybe try using different governor. Not for evveryone smartass works well

I installed the stock rom and stock kernel with SEUS and my vibrations are still broken so I'm quite sure it's hardware related. I checked the warranty card yesterday - it say's they only "updated" the software, even though I told them I've already done that twice before giving them the phone and I suggest checking the hardware... Phone's in the repair service again. I hope I'll get it next week and I hope they'll fix it this time.

I have frequently been flashing/testing different rom's on my Cappy's but recently ran into a problem which I originally thought had to be the rom(s) or oc/uv but apparently is not.
The issue is resetting after the phone has been screen off or asleep for a half hour or more.. and recently been rebooting during calls....never while using the phone for anything else.. but most often when i'm not using the phone and i go to wake it up, I notice it is off and have to turn it on only to notice i missed some calls,etc..
This started about a week ago. I have since wiped the phone at least TEN times. Different ROM's almost every time. I have gone with STOCK voltages and clocks.. i even changed the min voltage to 200 or higher in case that was causing the sleep issue but i never had the issue before.. but it's still turning off a lot.. and this is my second cappy, the one that I dont do much oc or uv..like the other that I have OC'd to 1.785 Ghz stable... this one is usually run at 1.1 or 1.2 with little or no uv...
I've tried different modems to see if that was causing the restarts during calls...and have wiped the phone with different rom's so many times...
what on earth can cause this? is the phone's hardware in some way damaged? Could previous tweaking have caused damage or could the phone just be toast? or am I missing something?
The phone still boots fine and if i'm using it i can do anything and everyting (including oc and uv) for hours...but if i make or receive a call, about 50% of the time it will restart..and if the phone goes to sleep..for the night or just for some time during the day..usually it will be off when i go to turn it back on..
any help? thanks

If you have tried many different modems and ROMs then i think your best bet is to flash back to stock and see if the problem persists, if yes, well then it's hardware, if not, then you may have had a buggy kernel or perhaps your phone just didn't like the ROM you ran (this has happened to me with several versions of DarkyROM, and yet other DarkyROMS work perfectly) Good luck!
my phone's vibrate is not working since i installed a sony xperia launcher, but i all ready do factory reset many times, flashing different roms many times too, remove my battery, set my setting but there is nothing happen i already download vibrafix still nothing happen either haptic feedback is not working
can someone help me or my phones vibrate is totally dead
Yep, it's dead. It's hardware problem (since you flashed other ROM right ?, so it's not software problem).

That's creepy. As F4uzan says: It's a hardware problem. I know It is quite a coincidence the vibration stop working just after installing the launcher, but it has nothing to do with the vibration. Maybe the phone received some damage (like falling or something like that before or a lot after the installation of the launcher), or maybe the phone was damaged and the vibration stopped working(?) You should go to the store and change it if you have the guarantee.

Well you can always unroot the mini. But now that you're telling me about how was the phone, I have no other conclusion about it, it's not software related..
I know that I already told you two times that it is not related to the software, but did you try to flash an official firmware using odin? You might do it and see what happens.

Yes, as above said try the official stock GB firmware via Odin. I'm wondering whether its a kernel related issue as the vibrator stopped working. Before going to service center try with the stock ROM and see whether it works.

If the phone vibrates randomly when you plug the charger, then you should make a clean flash with odin with more reason.

Hi
I have experience a problem today for the first time. When I connected my Xperia X8 to charge it, for some reason the screen became blocked and I was not able to do anything. after about a hour it started to work again but the phone was really slow. after few minutes screen became blocked again.
Could you tell me what the problem could be?
Many Thanks

Do u use underclocking or undervolting?
You may need to do a full wipe due to solve problems
Sent from my E15a using Tapatalk 2
reinstall the rom,and see if the bug still exist,if yes try to go back to stock rom using pcc,or update service.If the bug is still on stock that may be a hardware problem i think.
My phone was doing this when I was using alfs kernel. If you are using alfs try to move to nAa kernel. Since I use that no such problem occurs.
hi,
Ive got a problem with my SXT. It kept restarting randomly during the day. I rooted it before and was everything fine till one day. Now I cant use my phone cause it keeps restarting all the time. When i switch it on i cant evan touch the screen without restart. Ive flashed few roms already, stock ones either and nothing helps. I also wiped all data, cache etc.
Really strange problem cause phone works fine when its charging.
Has anyone any idea?
ps. repair via pc companion didnt help too.
Thanks.
Does your phone have CWM? Just wipe cache and dalvik cache
Or you can repair your phone by using PCC/Update Service

did you check the sim card ? , sim card broken also cause automatic restarting
sorry for my bad english
Hi,
No, I didnt check it. Will do ASAP.
btw. Ive updated my fw to the newest one.
edit. sim card seems to be fine. :/
SIM card placement causes random restarts. Make sure it's on their seated properly and securely.

Did you cut your sim down to size or is it a factory micro sim? I know cut down ones mess it up.

atleast you have try all, nothing work. thats the best choice u have, send it to sony center:good:
Having the same issues
Only my phone is also freezing even after repairs using both the PC Companion and also SEUS, reformatting my sd card and also a return to Sony.
SIM card is original Micro Sim It is crashing anything from 5 to 10 times a day, with data and/or wifi turned on. Even with the data and wifi turned off I am getting restarts.
Wondering if returning it to Sony did you any good dajbanana? or whether I need to raise the phone as faulty to the point it needs replacement with Sony GB?
you are using a kernel what is not ment for the rom? i mean, using a cm10 kernel on stock rom for example.

If that was the case it wouldn't even boot up, and also he would not be able to repair using pccomapnion or seus

What was the outcome in the end? It looks like my T is suffering the same symptoms :crying:
Battery is dying. Battery management of this phone is one big crap.
Only solution is new battery.

or a new phone?
So the only solution for this issue is to send off to Sony for them to replace the battery components? I had a strong feeling it may be battery related. First(and to be last) phone I have owned which hasnt had a removable battery. But then I wasnt fussed as I have never had to replace a battery on a device in my life!
I am with you. My last phone was Motorola Photon, my friend still has it with original battery and it is 2 years old phone.
This is big fail in mobile device.
Even new battery jumps down by more than 100mV, when you make a call for example. I will try again when it reaches 3,7V (nominal voltage).
It is even worse. About 160mV dropdown when starting a call.
i think the battery was a problem for me to it crapped out and i think thats also a reason why it wont work so goodbye sony hellooooo google/lg :laugh:
Hello everyone.
I just got my xperia x8 from my brother because he didn't know how to fix it.
The phone seems like it has not even a scratch.
The issue is that everytime i turn it on it is just turning on and off and on and off again and again.
I don't even have time to input my pin.
The battery always seems to be drained although i charge it occasionally.
I have updated it's os with pc companion, but it keeps doing the same thing.
Is there anything that i can do to fix it?

try to flash stock frimware through flash tools(this wipes the data & reinstalls the system partition)
Normally flashing fixes all software fault but if your hardware is damaged so you shouldnt be hopeful.
I think its a sw problem but even an empty battery can cause exactly the same react.(put another battery then try flashtools)
Hope i could help you

that's our little greek secret... no modifications to the software but he kinda had troubles with this mobile for the whole period of time he owned it.he didn't receive messages in the particular device as far as i can remember. the battery doesn't seem to have anything wrong though.it is just sliiiightly puffed but nothing that alerting.i mean i havent charged it for a long time and it can still power the mobile's "neverending loop". if there was a problem wouldnt it not turn on at all or something? i don't have an extra battery and i'm thinking of getting through with the flash stock romafter i charge it a bit.. should i? and if yes, how? i've never done that (a guide would be great )
