:( Problem : Screen turns on with a delay - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Been using this phone for over a week now and extremely satisfied.
Since a couple of days I have noticed that on a random basis whenever I press the power button to wake the phone, it takes a while to come back on. Sometimes it takes even up to 4 seconds to wake up. It's very annoying.
What I have observed is off the phone is unused for a while then it happens more. If I wake the phone immediately, then it wakes up very fast. Sometimes even on an incoming call its delayed for a couple of seconds though not everytime.
I have flashed the official 534 official Generic Indian FTF twice now and updated to 257 but still this issue is present.
I am downloading RomAur as I type, will flashing it help?
The phone otherwise is super snappy with no problems.
Any input will be highly appreciated
Thanks in advance

No flashing it won't help.. You need to unlock bootloader to flash it and if you don't backup TA, bye bye camera.. I suggest you flash stock ftf and do a factory reset... There might be some app slowing down the wakeup.. I haveDS battery saver and it can delay screen wakeup to reduce load on CPU...

I was able to flash RomAur without unlocking the bootloader, but it didn't help. The problem was my bad memory card, removed it and the problem is gone now. Thanks for your input

Xperia V standby hang, cannot wake up

anyone experience Xperia V cannot wake up or hang in standby?
it happens at nite after i sleep. but when i wake up, i press the power button several times but the screen doesnt on. notification light is working and blinking.
only way is to remove battery. its been happening everyday. even alarm is not working. checked my backup(sms, call log), it didnt backup. :crying:
I at least dont have that problem. Is your phone stock? Rooted etc?

I have this problem too. Not rooted. Probably, while charging this problem not appears.
Wrong section. This belongs in Q&A.
And for your problem, few users with.XT and XTX also reported similar problems. They are known as SoD (Sleep of Death).
There is no known fix yet. One users took it back to the store and the the Sony tech guru told him it's an isolated problem and he got a new one. So I suggest you go back to the store.
For anyone using adw launcher, one user reported that that caused his SoD. When he uninstalled that it was gone. Can be an app.
Try factory reset, and start first day without installing apps. And day by day add a new app, this way you can rule out if apps cause the problem.
Also format internal and external sdcard. Don't just empty them by wiping, you should really format, so no traces of possible app malfunction can be found back by the system.

Did I help? please press thanks button
after several days of testing, it doesnt hang on mine for 3 days already.
i guess its because there is a additional line in build prop "dalvik.vm.heapsize=36m" that cause this? this also cause my Need For Speed Most Wanted to force close too.
i also increase min clock freq to 594MHz.
also run TempMonitor(paid) on my notification bar.
not sure the above method works for most of u.. but try if it works.
I've got this problem since the first day. Got the phone, booted it up without even installing a sim card/downloading anything, plugged it into the charger, and it froze.
Since then it would go a few days without freezing, or it would freeze 3 times a day. The freezing always happen in standby mode.
Since it froze on a fresh system with no apps installed, it can't be app-related. There are users who have never experienced this problem, so I suppose the only way is to return the phone or take it to your local sony service center.
Normally it would just hang there and you'd have to pull the battery out. There was once where it hung and the phone got incredibly hot, and battery would be drained really fast.
Currently I am experimenting with keeping WiFi OFF, and surprisingly the phone has been fine for 4 days straight without freezing now. Its just something I'm trying and by no means this is a fix, but returning the phone to a sony store isn't an option for you, you might want to see if this works for you.
for those still having SOD, maybe u can try this. not sure it helps or not. because before i install jellybean, i review the code in build.prop first. so that is why it didnt happen on me for 2 weeks. well, i test it out yesterday.
use either ES file explorer or Root explorer, go to system -> build.prop.
find this line dalvik.vm.heapsize=36m, put a # in front of it to disable this code.
it could be because there is another similar code, thus conflict. u can find another similar line at the bottom of build.prop.
hope it helps!
Have you had anymore sod since disabling that?

Lock button not responding -Xperia T

My Xperia t is working perfectly but at some times when I press lock button, its not responding, screen is not unlocking... Then I Need to long press the power button and volume up button... Then it's working perfectly.....
Help me what to do?

I'm not 100% certain with what you've given here.
1) does it do this from an overnight stage?
2) how long is it asleep before this happens?
3) what ROM are you on?
It sounds like your T is experiencing sleep of death.

It's running ICS firmware-7.0.A.3.195
Not yet rooted,
Not yet flashed,
Not any special kernel,
Im not experiencing this problem due to over night usage.... It's working perfectly for 2 hrs or 3hrs or 4 hrs also but this last time I locked t screen after 5minutes of net usage... It was not responding after two minutes! After reboot its working fine....so far I have rebooted 4 times bcoz of screen not responding.

I have the same problem and I'm thinking of sending it back to the customer service. It' s very annoying, it happens randomly and i'm forced to do a soft reboot.. Has anyone have a solution or should I send it?
Try repairing it with Pc companion. If the problems still occurs than I would send it back.

Z1 SOD (Sleep of death)

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 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.

Screen on delay

Hi guys
When my TF701 has been on a day or two, when in sleep and looking to wake up By pressing the power button, it can take almost 5 secs for the lock screen to display.
Anyone know why and a possible fix?
Sorted on a reboot.
Cheers.

Yeah mine is the same, but then my TF700 does the same thing. I think it takes time to wake from deep sleep. If you had the screen display too quickly then it would be laggy......
Ok makes sense. It does usually come on fairly quick if it's not been in sleep long.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk
Mine does the same thing. At least since i'm on 4.3.
It might have done the same before on 4.2.2, but didn't take that long. Now i'm always tempted to push the power button again as i think it might not have registered the first time i pushed it.

I noticed that the delay is less when the tablet was restarted not so long ago. My tablet was up for 4-5 days when i encountered a very long delay before the screen turned on (about 5 seconds). I restarted the tab yesterday and though there is still some delay, it is only about 2 seconds now.
So rebooting while reduce the wake up lag.

Here too. After the update to 4.3 on my fourth 701 I got a seperate update for the dock to 205 and after setting all up again I perfomed a cold reboot.
Any fix for this? It's the only thing that keeps this tab from being perfectl
Sent from my K00C using xda app-developers app
Not too big of a problem for me but yes sometimes I'm unsure if I pressed the button correctly and press it again then locks it..
Perhaps a firmware update in the future would fix it. Other than that this tablet basically flies in most circumstances, so much smoother than TF201:good:
Cold boot did the trick for me, restart is less good a solution.

I am not sure whether it helped me actualization to last ASUS stock, or flashing CyanogenMOD ROM .... but one of this step is a solution for sure.

I had a similar issue. Pressing the volume up or down button immediately after the power button seemed to improve the wake time. Since the last update and a reboot, the issue is gone entirely for me.
I have to press sleep button for a long time to get my tablet ON or OFF.
Even some times, it does not work.
I have to remove and put again the dock to get my tablet ON.
It seems to occur more often since 4.4 update.
Do you have the same problems ?
Or is it OK with your tablet ?
Thank tou for advance.

Maybe a complete clean/wipe is all you need. I've had that kind of problem before in a frightening kind of way. I was sure the ship was sinking and that solved it.
i just newly flashed the latest ROM last night. The delay is obviously enhanced. It is roughly 1 second to wake up.
I am not 100% sure but guess the delay is related to cached data. Such cached data improve the overall resposivness but resulting a delay to the initial start.

you hit the power button, but the screen stays black
although i can confirm the phone is on, because if i plug in the charger, the light turns orange

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.
