Z1 SOD (Sleep of death) - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This is a pain in the arse, I've had my Z1 for less then 24 hours and already had it 5 times as I change my display settings.
Screen is there just the backlight isn't switched on.

What firmware are you on? Yeah, it sucks to have issues on a brand new handset especially at this price! Try to check if there's update available. I'm currently on .531 and haven't had any SOD so far.

i have no problem

If optimised backlight is switched off then it seems to happen anytime to change anything to do with brightness.

I have experienced this bug on multiple occasions as well since I first got the phone. The phone randomly goes to sleep but the backlight stays on. Then I am not able to unlock the phone by pressing the power button and I need to hard-reset it (vol up+power) to bring it back to life.
For me it happened once or twice already even with Optimized backlight checked

happened to me when i was trying to share a dinosaur effect photo in the camera app

I actually experienced the bug on a few occasions right now and can't see a pattern. It doesn't matter if I have optimized lightening on or other functions it will just randomly happen on different occasions.
I have just flashed the newest .534 firmware and soon after the same thing happaned again so I guess it has not been fixed as of yet.

Arrgh! I just experienced this screen bug . And this is for the first time in last 4 days of owning the phone. It occurred while the phone was lying on the table (battery 9%) & I picked it up to make a call, but the screen won't light up. Had to hard boot using vol up + power button. Have not touched the optimised backlight option (still checked). Hope sony fixes this asap!

DAMN ! I'm on 14.1.G.1.534 and I just got this ! it hasn't even been 24 hours yet since I bought this phone. terribly disappointed.this could be such a great device. hope it doesn't keep happening - Sony Xperia Z1 C9602 - wtf sony.

I've had this happen twice since been on 534 firmware and had to use the red button to force the device down. Very frustrating but I think Sony will sort it and all will be good.

i have just about had enough of sony to be honest, i cant believe this is the third sony device in a row where there is something wrong with it, i bought the xperia z tablet, the touch screen was way to sensitive until an update fixed it, i bought the z ultra and returned it because of the sod, and now this, i turned off my phone last night as i didnt want to be interrupted, try to turn it on this morning, the sony screen comes up, then a blank gray screen, rebooted it a few times with no luck, the last time i just left it and eventually it booted to the home screen
and just now, i opened the camera app, just get a black screen, open snapchat to see if the camera works there, nope, it says error with the camera please restart device, so i do, only to experience the sod again...
honestly, with my experiences with xperia, i have had enough, i can put up with mediocrity only for a bit, if i keep on putting up with this crap, it makes me look like a fool
stuff you sony

Same here, terrible bug. Screen is actually there, but backlight won't turn on. I have to position phones screen towards the light source in order to go to the screen settings to uncheck optimised backlight option. If it is checked I have to uncheck it to get backlight to turn on and vice versa. Sony, fix that as soon as possible 'cause you got some pissed Xperia Z1 users here!

Im with a uk model and still on the original 518 version, and I've been playing it around for several days but no SOD issue

same issue with z1 C6903
i using z1 with .534 also facing same problem for past a week. it is dead when phone calls in. have to hard reset too. come on sony, this is issue is not new. we need a solution.
mind you, the phone is not launch in my country but i manage to use it.

Hi All,
I am from India and using Z1 (C6902) and its been 3 days since using my phone and thank god, no SOD at all...
maybe since mine is C6902 thats why ... i dont know but no SOD here till now

I have noticed this bug after i rooted my z1. (root via kingo tool), before it was working ok.
So when power off button pressed, screen still active...
after some tries, i have disabled auto-brightness check box. its now more or less working.

You're buying products that are relatively new (except the Tablet Z) and expect no bugs at all? LOL I think you need to step back and look at the whole picture. To be honest Sony releases updates in a fast and consistent manner so you should be happy that do this. Even the Nexus devices have their share of bugs and always see people react like bugs do not exist. There will always be bugs and what you want from a manufacturer is to release fixes.

Hi, me too having this bug. I had this SOD twice since last 7 days. Had to do a hard reset both the times. Waiting for sony to fix it. I think its the jelly bean bug and not the Sony's firmware's bug but can be fixed, i think.
I am from india and on the latest fw. 534.
Please let me know if there is any solution to this available in the market. Thanks in advance.

The problem exist especially when you are charging. It occur also when you put your phone to sleep while running on GPS. Very fedup with it.
It is categorized in Freeze and Reboot Problem
It's the first stage of that problem, if you continue using it, you will suffer the reboot problem

solution to some bsod models. Tested, working!
Many p990 bsod models have faulty soldering of some sort. A solution which have worked for many is to simply plug in your charger. When your phone goes to sleep and doesnt wake up when you hit the power button, just leave it be for 12+ hours. Place your phone on something soft as well, like your bed. This will heat up the device and fix the faulty soldering. If it does not work, try longer period of charging. Good luck. (I will take no responsibility if this does not work as planned)
This was tried on a bsod model which went to unresponsive sleep every 5-30 minutes. After this procedure it was faultless

I've had my LG for quite some time now and I still trying to figure it out. So, if you're patient enough, please, just bare with me for a while as I explain what I've tried so far what what were the results.
A lot of people complains about this phone... unstable, crashes, reboots, BSOD, etc...
The first problem I had, came with the stock ROM... after a while the Wi-Fi just stopped working and it would display "Error..." as a message. The only solution was to reboot. 3 or 4 days after I had bought it, this was already killing me... so I started trying other ROMs but all seemed to suffer from some sort of problem except for one (see phone info below), which I've been running since June and I find it impeccably stable I can basically keep my phone running for as long as I want, as long as the battery doesn't run out (obviously), which brings me to a second point... battery drain!!
The battery drain was the only problem I didn't manage to find a solution for... and after a certain while, even though my phone was stable, having to charge my phone every single day was becoming very annoying.
Since I live in a different country than my GSM operator, it doesn't come as a news flash that network look-up has a big impact on the battery life, specially because I live close enough to the border to be able to keep the signal but in some parts of my house the signal is lost forcing the phone to search for a new network, which sometimes it finds (roaming) and sometimes it comes back to the original network and so on... However, what I find, unarguably, to have the biggest impact on the battery is having the Wi-fi enabled when there's no available network, it's just huge, it can suck up the battery in a few hours...
So, I decided to try some of those power management apps such as Locale, Green Power and some other, in order to minimize these problems, but curiously, they all caused the same problem... BSOD within a matter of minutes. I installed the app, configured it, waited for the phone to go into sleep and puff... it was gone. The only way out of it was removing the battery. I uninstalled the app, and the phone was stable again... this happened with every single app of the kind, that I have tried.
At the moment my phone is as stable as it gets but if I don't pay it enough attention, the battery dies in a blink of an eye.

Xperia TL (LT30at) sleep of death issues

So, just this last week after having my new Sony Xperia TL for a month I started experiencing the sleep of death issues, I haven't tried to do the restore via PC companion yet, if it does it again tonight I will. (I'll probably want to do that before updating to JellyBean anyways).
So far it's only happened at night, when on the charger for four+ hours, it's been hit and miss, happened two nights in a row, then worked two nights in a row, then locked up again last night.
The locked state; the screen is off doesn't respond to lock button, the notification light is blinking. I have to reboot it with the Volume Up + power button.
I thought I had fixed it by removing the PSM store (Installed that shortly before this fun started)..
Any other tips?
here's some links:
Xperia V sleep of death
http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/60422?start=0&tstart=0
So, on Saturday (when I posted this) I disabled the ATT wifi hotspot software, and also in the apps section of developer options;
Checked "don't keep activities"
I'm not sure if I've solved the problem but the last two nights it hasn't locked up and yesterday the battery life was the best I've ever had.
I have only experienced this with wifi on. So long as wifi is off, it's not had a SoD issue. Irritating.
Seems legit

Sod returned for me last night.
The only thing I changed yesterday was installing dead trigger. I rebooted into recovery and cleared the cache and dalvik.
I saw this thread for the v and noticed that this is also in our Rom.

I have had the TL for about a week now and have had this sleep of death happen twice. First time it happened i was charging it during the day with a little bit of use here and there. The second time it happened was overnight while i was sleeping. I was depending on the phone's alarm to wake me up, it never did. Woke up an hour later on my own and luckily wasn't late to work. I read somewhere else that killing active apps before putting it on the charger helps. It's been two night using this theory and so far so good. I am not rooted or unlocked. 1) Does anyone know if this is a hardware or software issue? 2) Should I return it for another device? I have a few more days to return it if need be. 3) Does the update to Jelly Bean bring a fix? Rumor has it March 12th is when the TL gets JB.
Oh and I have wifi on when I'm home.
No jellybean doesn't fix it. I'm running rooted jellybean (xperiment 2.0).
Friday night while charging it did the sod. I didn't change anything and its been fine the last four nights. I have no idea what causes it. I thought it was the line in build.prop, but not anymore.

Turned it off last night and the phone didn't SOD. The interesting thing is the night before I checked my phone about an hour before my alarm was supposed to go off and it woke up fine.
Any idea if it is wifi, why? Is there a build.prop tweak we can do to sort this out?
I have been keeping my wifi on for the last few days, and so far no more SOD. Only thing I have been doing is clearing any active apps before going to bed. As long as this keeps working, I'm good with it. Think it's been about 5 days so far. Will post if anything changes.
Sent from my Xoom using Tapatalk 2
If clearing active apps keeps it from locking up, one of the apps has to be the problem. Wonder if it'd be worth posting an app list?

I downloaded a system cleaner Friday and since I've run that there hasn't been any sod.
I've left WiFi on overnight all four nights.
Sent from my LT30p using xda app-developers app
So in my drunken state last night I forgot to clear my apps before passing out. I did not get a SOD. I probably got lucky. I also want to throw out there that the first week of ownership, I kept everything stock and only added my email apps since I heard jelly bean was coming out. I always do a factory reset after a big change in OS, so I didn't want to have to set up all my screens again. Anyway, I hot my SOD's during that time. So I think the issue is bigger than an app related one. Maybe the Jelly Bean update fixed it.

Seems like the consensus on the net is leaning towards Wifi setting "don't keep activities" for solving this. Just picked up my V last week and promptly had 3 SoD's after changing the wifi setting to "only if connected". Yesterday switched back after some searching and so far no issues. We'll se how it goes coming week.
BTW, my phone came with latest 4.1.2 and still has.
Since I've installed that system cleaner app, the phone hasn't locked up overnight.
I have wifi set to location mode, which seems to turn wifi off when the screen is off.
So, it's either a file problem, or a wifi problem.
Up time; 83 hours, xperiment 2.3.
I'd be curious if anyone with sod, flashed cm10.1 and still experienced them.

My guess is the latest Sony firmware has solved this problem. I haven't had any strange settings since anything above .141 and have not had any SOD's.
even i am using the TL... haven't experience a such issue yet.. but one thing.. mine gets heated very soon and battery drains really fast..can notice it clearly

Softkey Vibrate

Does anyone know what determines whether the softkeys vibrate on touch? Turning volume down to silent doesn't change anything but I've noticed that sometimes there is no vibration and I can't figure out the reason.

There is an option to turn it off in the sound settings,vibrate on touch.

Firstly I'll monitor exactly what I'm doing when it next happens. I'm not rooted or unlocked yet so I guess it's nothing I've done (unless it's an app, if that's possible)

Right, so it's been almost a week. Unfortunately, I'm still having problems with no obvious explanation.
I soft-bricked my phone a few days ago so I've completely reset it. I was under the impression that it was only softkeys and haptic feedback that was being lost but today I'm sure a couple of time I've received messages without vibration (phone was in my lap and I can see the screen turn on but felt nothing).
My friend on his One X told me he often loses softkey feedback and haptics but that a message always brings it back. So until today I was putting it down to Jellybean (there seems to be a lot of S3 users with same issues too). Some S3 user reported that turning battery saving off has brought back feedback but I've not used stamina or anything like that, might there be something enabled by default I want to get rid of?
I kinda want to install CM10.1 to test on 4.2 but I'd need unlocked bootloader and I'm not sure how Amazon feel about that.
The motor seems to be ok... It sounds like a Bee or some paper trapped but from what I read that's normal because it's a thin phone. It's loud too.
When using the Service Tests area it seems to work without fail, but I need to test that after it turns off.
I'm still having this issue and I'm almost certain it must be a hardware fault.
Am I right in thinking that if I run a vibration test in the service menu then no system or app settings should prevent it vibrating?
Sometimes it fails to vibrate even in that test.

I don't have your problem but I did have times yesterday where it would flash me black screens for no reason, for example when trying to close open apps, it would just flicker black for a bit. Haven't had that problem today though. I do however have broken Wifi at the moment, I can no longer connect to any network or access the settings without the settings freezing.

Yes, auto rotate. It breaks after the "black
screen" event. (if and when that happens)

If you are using any sort of covers around the phone, remove it and try
The proximity sensor has become very sensitive preventing in-pocket turning on of the device, this might be your issue
Thanks
camera lag
I have the camera lag. when I open the camera app it takes complete a second or two to open. and if you open it from lock screen it takes for ever. well at least from the lock screen it was laggy on .569 too. other than that the UI is slightly slower and laggy than .569.

Did you upate through PCC?
I have an update ready for 101 there (UK) but this has made me a bit wary with what you are experiencing.. Also got the 569 update OTA - which I already have.. & I can't seem to get rid of the stupid message from my top bar!
Xperia z latest update bug
In the last software update does not work anymore voice recording, voice search does not work and the voice dictation of text messages. He tells me (you can not reach google at the moment) but it works for calls. I tried doing a reset by update service and PC Companion, but I have not solved. Can anyone help me?

[Q] JB 4.3 works like a charm, might not be hardware issue ?

Hello
Ive had numerous problems while i was on KK 4.4.2 .681 and .757 with freezeing phone, random reboots(usually once a day) and touch screen issues.
I have asked alot here and over at Sonys support forum and ppl began to point out that i could very well have a hardware problem. Although the problems i have had on KK wasnt that odd. Since ive read about others having theese problems.
But early monday morning i thought that hmm why not try what a dude here suggested. Wipe the phone completley with cache, dalvik cache and all that and flash the latest 4.3 firmware with JB. Hmm oki well i did that, and so far i havent had any reboots, or any freezes. Camera is QUICK and takes better pictures. At some point i thought the touch was acting weird but that could just be the app itself freaking out, it was only for a few seconds and after that everything was working like it should. Battery time is better aswell(although it goes down to 75% quite fast but after that its slooooow).
So do you still think i might have hardware issues ? I was about to ship my phone back to China but now it feels like it is pure software issues. And i have had big troubles with the retailer to accept this as a warranty matter since he belives its a software issue.
But then again, my phone aint operating good at all with KK 4.4.2
So far everything is fine with the phone, missing some stuff from KK but not the end of the world. But im still testing. If it will remain on without a freeze until the end of the week i could be quite certain that it is KK that ****s up my phone totally.
Please respond with thoughts.
Who told you to wipe your phone? ..lol..
Just my thoughts about touch screen, I replaced 2 days ago my "lucid" classic transparent screen protector with one Anti-Glare, which is not lucid glass like many but is rough and it influence a little little bit on the visualization of the screen, tiny, tiny thing but the touch screen is much much more responsive.
Classic issue with touch screen, unlock with patterns, with the lucid screen protector sometimes it skipped the touch and I had to try 2 times to unlock the phone if the phone was put on the table without hold it. With the new screen protector it not skip anything.
Sometime a stupid thing can be the issue.
Could be the screen protector, remember the first one I had was a antiglare, and as far as I remember I didn't have those issues then. Now I have ultraclear one. Could be that, you never know. I do have tempered glass one wich I haven't used.
Just before the phone actually froze for a few seconds just when I took a picture, but it came back with no reboot. And I got a msg on WhatsApp and messenger at the same time so that could be what was causing the lag this time. Hopefully

Still no reboot! Used camera alot and done all sorts of stuff.
And today I changed my screenprotector to see if that would rectify the touchscreen issue. I used a tempered glass screen protector. O my god how much better that protector feels! But still testing for any issues

Some updates.
No random reboots!
But two other odd things occurred and one of them is known.
1. Touchscreen went crazy, it didn't press what I wanted and so on. I noticed it actually swiped on the keyboard. Turned that function off and unistalled the app "Color notes". Touch screen bugs are known and Sony even admitted it so.
2. I couldn't send sms today, tried to several but got error. Data and so on still worked. Restarted the phone and then it worked again (might just be coincidence). Although I noticed that it at some point it had trouble sending data, took forever to get connection even though I had 3-4 pins reception. Also noticed when that sms bug occurred that it switched from 2 pins to full every time I opened the sms to send.
But still no reboots. These things maybe would trigger reboots with kitkat, I dunno.

I have it all the time, I mean not the touch screen going crazy but the swipe one on keyboard, it happen always when I click on the letter A on left side, it really piss me off.
I think I have to turn off the swipe thing too.
Ye I've read about ppl having issues like we do and they just turned it off and then it works. Sony said they would fix the touchscreen issues in updates but still not fixed.
Btw, have you noticed that the "swipe" to turn off the alarm clock is less sensitive? It takes some trys to swipe to turn it off. Although it is a good thing because it makes me pissed and I have to concentrate to turn it off wich makes me to get up Might be an intended "bug".

Yeah, they are very lazy to fix this issues but they are not to put on the market a "new" device and forgot about Z1.

Yes, Yes, I am glad that I am not alone. It was less sensitive even before I turned off the "keyboard swipe" thing. So not really know if it's related to that features, it shouldn't, but you confirmed a "bug" which was keeping me thinking. O Lord, I dream about a Z1 bugs free! (dream only)
might not be

Well that Alarm swipe might not be a bug actually, ive tried it back and forth and if you "lazy" swipe it fast like you would when it rings in the morning it wont turn off. But if you do apply pressure and swipe slow it will turn off. Not a huge problem for me since it actually help me getting out of bed

Of curse, it help me too, I get angry because of that so I have to leave my bed ..LOL..
The thing is, who know if it was meant to be like that? It was made with that purpose? Because if it isn't then it's a "bug".
