Hi, my SGS is working fine all the while. But sometimes after i unplug the power adapter upon fully charge, the screen keeps blinking in the way like loading home(loading icons)->black screen->loading honme-> black screen->.....
it repeats for very a long time, even if i manually screen off then unlock the screen, the blinking problem still repeating. Until i reboot the device, it works fine again... Happened once in the middle of playing game, it suddenly 'jump' to home screen and the blinking problem begin
Wonder if this related to system crash and cause home screen keeps loading on and off or hardware problem... did anyone experience this?
I've never heard of this before. To diagnose whether it's a hardware problem, your only bet would probably be to flash a clean firmware. Maybe someone will have heard of this though.

Try a stock firmware, that should tell you whether or not it's a hardware issue. If it isn't, it's probably kernel related. Hopefully you can figure it out!
i have got the same problem too.. =(( how to fixed it.. the screen keep blinking...
Flash stock firmware . Then if its fixed pls report here.

I've flashed from 2.1 to 2.3.6 and still it's blinking
Does anyone know how to fix it?
same issue
hi,
i have the same issue as well with 2.3.6, BaseBand version I9000XXJVU.
It is not a stock rom and it started appearing just a few days ago. It happens when i plug to charge it and after unplugging it. I have not noticed when it stops.
A friend of mine has the same issue, but with 2.3.4 stock firmware, so i think it is not firmware related.
Any new info on this? what could i provide for further troubleshooting
Main issue is of course that it drains the battery quite much and also allows you to mistakenly unlock the phone when the screen is on, so i was forced to put patter or PIN lock.
Cheers...

If you have ChatOn app try to uninstall it. Did work for me. (I my case the issue appeared when the internet was accessed via any browser. Same blinking pattern though)
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.

Try Cleanest flash you ever try. Use latest firmware.
ok thank to all of you ill try it to flash
this is my first phone and i don't have money to buy new if this totally broke haha
here in philippines android phone its too expensive
I updated my phone just recently and came across this major issue.
I used Sony's own tools for updating that leaves two options "Sony Companion" and "Sony Update Service".
Both giving the same results for my phone, even a full reinstall doesn't work.
When done updating you set your Xperia ZR back on as the software says.
It starts normally showing the Sony logo, Xperia logo and some Xperia animations.
When it gets to the lock screen and asks for your pin code to unlock your sim-card everything is fine.
Here it comes.
When setting your screen in standby and back on the touchscreen function is not working anymore.
Other buttons are working fine (power, volume, photo)
I talked to a Sony employee and he came to the conclusion that it's a Hardware defect, that sounds to me like a bad excuse.
The screen works the first time but not the second time it's turned on.
Looks to me like a software problem.
Are any others of you experiencing this problem with the Xperia ZR? Please, let me know below!
I don't have a solution yet or if you have a solution, let us/me know down here.
Thanks in advance!
It sounds like the firmwarepart with drivers four the touchscreen didn't bite. If it's anything like the 4.2.1-4.2.2 in HTC that part needs to get through.
Is there any way of restarting the process through companion?

A temporarily solution is to touch the screen when pressing the power button to turn on the screen.
Example: Touch with your left index finger on the screen and press power shortly as you normally do, then move your index finger over the screen.
But you have to do this every time you turn on the screen!

Have you tried flashing the ftf file through flashtool?

No, I haven't tried that yet, because I'm not familiar with flashtool.
It's easy.
1. Do a search for flashtool and download the exe file.
2. Install it. Install the latest drivers by going to the install drivers menu in the program.
3. Download the ftf file on the android development section.
4. Save it in the c drive folder for flashtool-->>firmware
5. Press the big flash (lightning symbol)
6. Chose flash mode
7. Your firmware should show up. Choose the C5503 firmware.
8. It will tell you to turn off your phone and while plugging in, keep the back button pressed. Since the zr doesn't have a back button, hold the volume down button.
9. It should do everything automatically. You'll be on a new os. Reboot and you're done.

I'll try that :fingers-crossed:
Did you also try the update to 4.2.2?
It's still bugging me that they released it and it didn't work. (for my Sony Xperia ZR at least)
Great it worked!
I took flashtool from androxyde.github.io and I also took the firmware from there.
For me the first 3 times flashing went wrong, but it's nothing to worry about just reconnect the USB while pressing volume-down button and retry.
So I am now back to android 4.1.2 and the screen is working fine without any problems.
Thanks djpeesh!
I have the same problem but I don't want to revert to 4.1.2 is there another workaround? This is really stupid SONY says that an app can cause this but there is pretty much nothing on my device. I did a hard reset and it didn't help. I'll try something else to see if I can avoid the downgrade. I think everything started when I activated debugging mode.
Same happens with mine.At times I am not able to accept phones calls by sliding. i have to press the power button several times to switch off and on the screen and then it functions again

I tried flashing 4.2.2 russian rom and it didn't work, tried 4.1.2 russian version, also didn't work. I'll try another ROM now and if it still doesn't work I'll go to where I bought it and I'm going to smash it in the sellers head (angry). I'm so disappointed in SONY.

I managed to make the screen work again but then it stopped like before. I suspect that there might be a SIM card problem is your sim a genuine micro SIM or is it like mine a chopped mini one?
I sended my Xperia ZR back to sony, because I talked to a SONY employee about this and his answer was to send it back for repairs. After all **** installations that didn't work. At the look of it the frimware for the screen is not inplemented in the new 4.2.2 update. If you could rip the 4.1.2 screen frimware off and migrate it with the 4.2.2 update that could work, but that is a bit to advanced for me.

My screen didn't work even with a 4.1.2 official roms tomorrow I'm going to send it for repairs. It's really annoying to spend 500 dollars and have these stupid problems my HTC TOUCH HD is 5 years old and has never been repaired, still works the old beast, and this device is 10 days old and already is getting on my nerves.

Well, that wasn't the problem anyway I just left mine in the repair shop, they tried to blame for messing up the software of the phone but I used only SONY official firmware, so let's see what they'll come up with next I hope they won't make me pay for repairs because this will be a very sad story.

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

Background info: I've had my Xperia Z1 only for two to three weeks now. I've been enjoying every part of it, but I've come across three particular gripes I have to mention.
First, random app crashes. One time the Album crashes, the other time System crashed. It appears to be random, not based on anything you were or weren't doing at that moment. I don't think I'm the only one with this though.
Secondly, and here's where it gets weird: my on-screen buttons disappeared. I believe I was just closing GTA: San Andreas. Suddenly, the buttons were gone. I could scroll through the app drawer perfectly, still. That's the odd thing. I should've taken a screenshot if I realised this earlier. I will next time it happens, so let's hope I don't have to. After a while, the phone froze and I decided to reset it, after which everything returned to normal. I guess that's one part where hardware buttons beat software - they don't magically disappear (I hope..).
Lastly, I opened the camera and it looked like it lagged. I pressed the Home button twice or thrice, but then the entire device froze and it kept vibrating like hell! I don't particularly enjoy 5" vibrating devices so I decided to reset it as quickly as possible. No way that could've been good for the device.
Have you experienced one of the last two issues I've had? Or have you had something similar yet different?
Let me know below!

It's pretty important to not lose the three main on-screen buttons, not to mention having a device that doesn't vibrate like you-know-what.
What would repairing the firmware do? The phone is still new. There couldn't be anything wrong with the firmware, not solvable by flashing the same firmware over it again, I reckon.

yeah these are problems and easily can be solved
by PC companion.
even more issue can appear on new phone.
these are bugs on ur ROM
when u repair firmware, PC companion will download latest firmware (available for ur region) and install it on ur phone.
That can solve ur problem.
-
if repairing by PCC didn't help u should download Flash-Tool for Xperia & firmware of another region and flash it.
u can find useful information about it here.

Try repair is really the first thing to do with ROM dependent error, so there is nothing wrong with the answer.

How can this be a ROM dependent error when I just had my Xperia Z1 for a couple of weeks and updated to official Android 4.3 Jelly Bean through an Over The Air update? My Android firmware is as official and up-to-date as it gets right now.
EDIT: Actually, I wasn't even asking for a solution. I was purely wondering if anyone else had these specific issues as well.

Because any update (especially an OTA) might fail and because these errors (mentioned, i think, for the first time here) are ROM dependent.
So first thing I would do is trying the repair.
I'm aware that you only asked for similarities, but as the are annoying errors, we just wanted to help with a possible solution.
Are you running a 4.3 stock ROM?
Do you use bluetooth/have it turned on?
If yes to both, it is a bug in the 4.3 roms related to bluetooth. Only solution I am aware of is to restart the phone whenever it happens and if you can leave bluetooth off
