Any one getting this problem? Wtf goes on during the night with this phone??

For your safety, report to Sony or where ever you got it from and ask for an exchange. Might be a defected phone.

Could it be that i use a different charger? I didnt use the one that came with the Z but the Dell venue Pro.

Thats happened to me few days ago on my xperia s...i waked up during the night and i wanted to chechk which times is it.
And i cannot hold it in my hands how much hot it was, i bet it was over 50celzius.
It was abnormaly hot, not warm, HOT.

It could be just try the original charger

Try another charger if not get it exchanged. The heatsink inside the phone may be not positioned properly.

Mine never gets hot unless im doing benchmarks or playing games and even then its just a little warm

Maybe poor reception?

i can confirm this.
i am just going through the phone like through settings etc and taking pictures.
and the top of the phone gets hot, not warm, but hot.
mind you, i don't have a sim card inserted, could that be a factor?

Seconded.
Less than 2% of retail Xperia AX/VL handsets (the Japanese version of Xperia V) are affected by SoD according to Sony Service Centres' statistics. I'm sure for the international model it's the same.

Not so sure i should answer this question....

happens to my friends before..

Mine international Xperia V is on Singapore's ROM and I experience SOD near once in month.

I've had this happen twice in the last few days, and I've had the phone for only about a week. I'm on stock JB rom 9.1.A.0.490 which came preinstalled on the phone. I have yet to try any WiFi settings like suggested in most threads about this problem.

sod and heat problem
so how often do these problems happen. The SOD and the heating problem. I might buy the xperia V but im seeing a lot of people reporting this problems and also the fact that you can end up with the tmd screen with poor quality. is this phone worth the risk of buying it?

I have SOD near once a month and don't have overheating problem (it heats up while heavy gaming, but it's normal). Overall it's a very nice phone, but build quality isn't perfect —*for example, it squeaks when I take it in the middle of the edges (plastic slightly presses inside), but it's not a problem for me too.

well i think the lt25 is the international version. so how many of these devices suffer from the sod and the heating problem, according to the statistics ? because i want to buy the xperia v and i only know and trust ebay for this kind of stuff. I found it there for 400 usd which i think is a very good price

Hello.
Where did you buy your phone from? I bought mine from SingTel and I don't seem to have that problem. Maybe you should ask for a replacement using warranty?

I'm from Russia and bought international LT25i from mobyshop.com.sg, so I don't think it's possible to replace it (it will be too long)

You can try and ask for a replacement. The seller is basically giving you a broken device.

Bought a V for my wife and she is complaining that the phone gets hot while in her purse and after charging overnight it does not respond anymore. It has the. 940 firmware which came from the factory. It is an unbranded Dutch phone.
So international and with major problem. Will contact Sony tomorrow. Pretty frustrating.

Just thought I'd share.
Only started experiencing SOD a few weeks ago (owned the V since end of last year when it first came out in singapore, Stock ROM) around the same time a few apps were updated.
SOD only happens when it goes to sleep with wifi connection only on or LTE as preferred network. Only option is to long press the power button to shut it down then restart.
No SOD if i leave it on WCDMA as preferred network.
2 noticeable app (since I used them regularly( issues I experienced same time I started experiencing SOD - Whatsapp hung occassionally (has since been rectified after the recent updates) and Instagram will hang and exit while I am browsing (still occurs despite uninstalling and reinstalling.)

just thought i'd share to.
i got my phone from Singtel too, last year, within the first few weeks of it's release and i sufferec from SoD for like a long period of time until it went away on it's own i didn't do anything to it, other than updating it whenever there's a new update and just pulling the battery whenever the SoD happens.
now once in a while it will hang and i'll have to pull the battery, but at least it doesn't heat up.
another problem is the fluctuating battery levels whenever I restart the phone -_-
however... i am still feeling kinda scared whenever i do an update. like it keeps me wondering if the SoD problem will kick up again.
sighhhhhhhh

I just bought this device, i havent faced this SOD problem(3 days now). Hope it wont happen to me. Status, locked bl, havent root yet.:thumbup:

[Q] Overheating?

I just got a replacement HTC One today (due to a power button issue). Within 5-10 minutes of use my One will hit about 110 degrees, sometimes up to 115. I use a task manager and I never had this problem with the first One I had. Any idea what could be causing this/what could prevent it?

If it didn't happen with the first phone, you should return that second phone.

So what was wrong with the first phone? The power button wasn't sitting flush? That's what happens when you return phones for stupid problems. So now you end up with a worst phone then before.

This.... which is why the tiny gap on the top I can live with.. Dont want to risk the chance of getting one with a dead pixel or something.
As for the over heating.. My phone gets a little warm but unless the blinking overheating led doesn't come up for no reason I wouldn't worry about it.
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium

Mine too gets warm under stress use, like games and streaming video. I'm not measuring the temp because I don't care enough. I can feel it get warm is all.
Now that you mention it though, my volume buttons have been giving me a dirty look ever since I bought it... I think I'll return it. Screw HTC and their crap!! I'm getting an s4!!

The thing is, I paid for a phone in full working order. Regardless of if the defects are minor, they are still defects. I just want what I paid for.

Are we talking 115F? ...Or 115C.
Cause I'm inclined to believe its the former, and, if so, that's within a range I would consider normal.
If it's 115C, I'm surprised the phone is still on. Water would boil if put on the chip. The battery likely would have exploded by now.
Typically, you want to quote electronics temperatures in C.

115F isn't abnormal especially if you're pushing the CPU (heavy GPS or gaming), especially if you're referencing the battery temperature.
Generally you want to avoid anything above 50C, and that's not above 50C.

If it battery temp then it likely to be a bit high considering it sandwiched in between the LCD and the cpu board

Plus, I've decided that the all aluminum case helps dissapate heate from the board and therefore feels warmer than an equivalent plastic (read Galaxy S4 ) phone.

WOW! Is anyone else's battery this GREAT?

So... My Mom got her One about a week ago, today I took a look at the power menu all I can say is WOW this definitely sealed the deal for me...
Three days on battery... I know that she plays word search type games for at least a half an hour daily, she talks A LOT and she CONSTANTLY checks/syncs the THREE e-mail accounts on her phone... I am just amazed...

I'd love to see a screen shot of her history

Ive not yet pulled 3 days out of it yet but I can get 2 days easy. regular usage of web browsing, phone calls/texting and lots of Blinkfeed lol.

I'm sorry, but that's far from the norm.
There are always people who claim to have all this amazing battery life, but most of it is rubbish. A day, just over...that's what you should expect at best if you're actually using your phone.

ahaha me too, I can pull about 10 1/2 hours with 4 hours screen time and that's about as good as it gets, but that's with playing music and web browsing a bit as well.

If my phone can last me from the time I take it off the charger in the morning to the time I put it back on when I go to bed, which it usually does, I'm content. And that's with me messing with it all day, and at least 6 hours of streaming music.

I can get a day and a half out of mine. That being said the half day part doesn't do me a lick of good so he gets charged every night regardless.

I'm getting excellent battery life. Lasts all day easily and most of the way into the night. On average it needs to be charged after 19-24 hours.
Check to make sure you're not running any hungry background tasks.

This is the first phone I've had since the existence of 4G LTE that I haven't had to put on the charger every single night. I'm thrilled with the battery life on this phone.

Sorry about not posting the ss, I have to get around to it later...
To all the Naysayers:
I just posted this because I found it a bit weird, she has been using it quite a bit, she has used 93 minutes off our plan as of this morning and that is in just a week.
EDIT: She is CONSTANTLY deleting running apps so that is probably a good portion of it.
Also, one more thing, in her settings under about it says "Hardware Version 0004" what is this and does any of your devices say different?
Thanks,
Kwongger

I didnt mean to come off as a nay sayer at all...I can prolly get 3 days if i didnt use the phone is all. Would love to see her history on app usage though....maybe they put some juiced up uber battery in hers lol.
0004 just shows which round of hardware the phone was built on. Mine as well as most should say 0004.

Terrible signal running kingdoms of Camelot at work. Plus music all day has me sitting at 8 hours haha. 8% currently.

YAY! Screenshots!
Here you go!

3 days is far from the norm, and the battery monitor is EASILY fooled, all it takes is a partial charge. My girlfriend's mom just got the galaxy the other day and I went over to help her with her car BT, took a quick glance at the battery monitor for kicks and it said she was on something absurd like 5 days and I knew something was off. Turns out she didn't charge her phone at night, just sporadically during the day, and it had never charged to 100%.
I'm getting around 14 hours until I hit 20%, and this is with HEAVY usage...taking pictures, using Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, blinkfeed, playing games, etc, all on 4G. So the battery life IS pretty nice.

good here

I charge my phone every night so I don't know exactly how long it'll go, but I think I've only ever dropped below 50% once, and that was the first day, and HTC Connect was acting all screwy. Had used over 60% in the monitor. Love it!

[VIDEO] So I Poured water on my Nexus 5

I have never before in my life poured water on any of my devices on purpose, so I was kind of nervous doing this, but hey it was fun!

Uhhhh...... Why did you do that. You realize that you just got a lot of water inside your phone via the ear speaker. It is highly possible that something will short out, and corrosion will build up all over inside of the phone, possibly damaging it slowly over time.
Really shocked as I work on WD phones all the time and know they can get bad.

Well done I guess...

Why??

Thanks for the test but I feel you shouldn't have done that...

If it was water proof, IP7 standard, then that is the only way a test like this would even be uselful.
Or logical.

Whhhyyyyyyyyyyyyy??????!!!

Maybe he had a spare and rather than give it to me he decided to do this lol

Think of all the folks waiting for their Nexus 5 especially us in India.
This test would have made sense on the Sony flagships with IPX certifications.
Not on the nexus 5!!!!

Dude! You've just sentenced your phone to a long and slow death. It may appear to be fine right now but over time that liquid contamination will begin to eat away at the sensitive components of your phone.
If I were you I'd strip that phone and go over it with a cotton bud dipped in alcohol. I've seen what water does to the phones and it's not pretty.
