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 )

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

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.
having a strange problem. was having a normal day with my phone, then at some point in the day I tried turning it on and nothing. No matter what I have done the screen just doesn't come on. Here are a ist of things I tried doing.
- Take batterry out for over a minute then try and turn it on. FAILED
- take battery out the plug phone into computer and turn it on. FAILED
- Tried to enter both recovery mode and download mode. FAILED
The phone simply does not respond to any button inputs. Have had the phone for almost a year and ZERO issues. Use the phone lightly and its in top condition.
Any help will be appreciated.
Try a different battery. You have rooted the phone? Give us more info about the phone like custom ROM and what do u suspect to be the probem.
Lorddeff have you heard of sds?

Yh, rooted and all that. Ben rooted from the first day I got it. Using philz safe kernel with the ultimate TW ROM. Never did any funky stuff on the phone. I'm pretty sure that its not from a battery cause I have two of those and I am sure its not from a bad flash or something. My last flash was over a month ago and the phone was working perfectly until it literally just stopped working like 5 mins after the last time I used it.

I have now... and thanks for that link. Looks promising. Though it means I would have to ship my phone out, which I guess is a lot better than doing nothing.
OK, so I was having issues with CM11 where once my Xperia t had booted I would just about have the chance to unlock the screen, mess about with it for about 30 seconds and then reboot. So I thought OK CM is obviously just a bit buggy and it was a nightly anyway plus it would really eat my battery, so I made the decision of flashing back to pure stock firmware (4.3 9.2.A.1.205) I told flashtool to format just about everything (APPSLOG, CACHE, DATA, PARTITION (internal storage), KERNEL, FOTA and SYSTEM). After doing so, I setup my phone (went through the setup wizard, logged into google, downloaded some apps etc.) and about 10 Mins later the same thing happened that happened on CM (successful boot, unlocked screen did a few things and it crashed again). So then I was confused.
I've tried several other ROMS (Liquid Smooth, Pure AOSP, PureXT (custom sony ROM), all have the same problem so the issue seems to be persistent. So I assumed it must be a hardware problem (i.e. putting pressure on CPU causes phone to reboot) but my phone doesn't crash or do anything strange when I'm in recovery, I can successfully complete backup and restore operations that take about 10 Minutes give or take.
I have also relocked/unlocked the bootloader several times, no difference
So basically the bottom line is this is a really strange problem that appears to be persistent with any rom, I couldn't find anyone with the same issue (quick google search and a search under the XDA Q&A thread for this phone didn't seem to return anything similar). So I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced something similar or can help me because I'm really confused .
Help would be much appreciated Thanks.

You already did everything should be done for trying to solve this kind of issues.
It seems your hardware is broken....
Lock your bootloader and try to repair using your warranty if you have one

Yeah I suppose a hardware problem is the only thing that makes sense, I just wasn't sure since Recovery still works but I guess recovery doesn't fully utilise the phones resources. My warranty is out of date (Had the phone for about 15 months now) guess I should probably start saving up for a Z2
Thanks for your help

Since you don't have warranty anymore, you could try to replace the battery with a new one before changing phone...
There have been so many broken batteries with this device... Just an idea...

Hi
Yes I think it may either be the battery or the CPU because under light use the phone is (kind of) fully functional, it only seems to happen when it is processing a lot and gets warm. This would probably explain why it doesn't reboot in recovery.
But yes it would be worth getting another battery for it since a new one is only about £15 on UK Amazon so thanks for the heads up.
Before you get a battery can you try open Emma please, it may not help but may do, I've explained how to change a battery in another thread have a look around

Haha it does, 'Open Emma' works with all Sony xperias as it's Sony's software for unlocked bootloaders

Hey I'm back,
Just got my battery come through and the problem still exists, my best bet is that there is probably an issue with the battery terminals and probably something beyond repair.
So I think with that I'm officially declaring this phone DEAD .
Thanks for your help any ways guys, I'm probably gonna wrap up this thread now.

Hi, before my xperia z used to keep shutting down before, I think it was because my phone was overheating but that was only when I was using apps like youtube and snapchat. Now it shuts down every time. When I turn it on it stays on the sony logo part for around 5 seconds and completely ****s down. I tried re flashing the ftf from flashtool and that still didnt fix it. I also tried using the repair my phone function on pc companion and it still didnt work. I dont know what I did wrong before, im not sure if it was because I unlocked my bootloader and saved my TA partition. Im not sure. But the phone was fine after I unlocked my bootloader. So I cant access the actual phone but I can put it on flashmode and fastboot. Someone help me please.

Hi if anytime you disconnect the USB cable the phone power off itself, there is a problem with the battery or with the circuit that manages the battery, it's a know problem and most of the times a battery change fix this issue..
The phone has never take water?
Previously when the phone auto restart itself, was warm?

Nope, Ive never put it in water, and yes it was warm. Everytime I tried to use it, it became warm. I ordered a new battery, hopefully it should fix the issue. I used to be able to use it when it was plugged in, now when it is plugged in it turns off after 5 seconds.
