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.
Argh Sony

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.

[Q] Unresponsive/slow

Whats up people,
I'm experiencing some wierd stuff with my Z1. Recently when I press the power button to light up the screen it doesn't respond and the screen stays black, this happens quite often and it's getting really annoying! Another thing is that the screen/notification led is very slow to light up when I connect the charger.
Anyone else experiencing this or have any idea of what could cause it?

I've same problem. Well, this case only happened when I convert video or music, when the process is running and the screen go off, it will become unresponsive. Perhaps kernel trying to sync memory, IDK. How's yours? How did it happen?

Definitely try a reset, My girlfriends xperia zl will so that the odd time but not very often.

Try a soft reset first (Power button, volume down) if it still occurs, Go throught and try Installing your rom again (reset partition and cache only) If worst comes to worst do a full factory reset

Xperia Z1 KitKat 4.4 Issues (May be Individual issues)

Hello everybody (Xperia Z1 Owners with Official KitKat 4.4.2)
I recently bought Xperia Z1 and updated it to 4.4.2, but after updating I'm having some issues.
1. When exiting any app, phone should go to home screen, for example I opened the Camera with the dedicated button and used it and pressed back button. As soon as I pressed Back button, the Settings comes up, sometimes dailer, sometimes some other app. Also it just not for Camera it happens mostly for any app I use.
2. When I get call, as I lift the call by dragging the green button the calls automatically starts with loudspeaker sometimes.
3. Battery drains faster sometimes.. like it was 95% and after few minutes it goes 92% (I was not using the phone at that time, it was idle)
4. Unlock animation, most the times while swiping I get smaller bubbles.
Any body having same issues, or any of the above.

1. I have the same problem as well, for me the app just comes up and then quickly closes again though.
2. I don't call too often, but I think I've had this problem once, I also could've accidentally turned it on with my cheek though.
3. Not a clue, could be a personal thing.
4. No idea what you mean but doesn't seem to be a major problem.

I have the same issues....bad....let's waiting the 4.4.3

About the Unlock Animation, it works different when you set the live wallpaper theme and different if you use the static wallpaper theme.
I also get Camera Not Available sometimes!!

1. That happens sometimes with the KK update, the best way to fix that is simply do a factory reset of your phone in the settings
2. Known problem start with Factory Reset, if this not help repair via PC Companion
3. Known problem too, KK update make battery calibration that drain battery, that's back to normal after one or 2 days if not then it's because the SDCard access has be removed from 3rd app with KK that cause battery drain and overheating (i have this one with a 64Gb SDCard :crying: ) to be sure remove your SDCARD and test if there is no battery drain anymore then join us to the SDCard Crying Group and wait that Sony Fix that...
4.That's what you have by default you can change it in settings.

Its not a problem it has been done on purpose.
Sony will not fix it because its implemented by google to fix security issues. All companies running Android are bound by contracts to use this feature. It actually makes you phone more secure.

No i wasn't talking about that, many people haven't the battery drain/overheat problem but with some certains SDCARD/Capacity that cause that, let me explain : if i use my 64GB class 10 SDCard with KK that cause huge battery drain and overheating and ONLY with KK, not a single problem if i reflash the phone to JB 4.3 and i've tested all that is possible to do, format, reset etc... nothing works with KK :crying:

It stops third party apps reading anything you keep on your SDcard, like passwords, bank details and other sensitive information you may keep there. For example, I use online banking on my phone and I have sensitive information like that on my SDcard, now no other app can read it.

Yes, its on KK because KK stops third party apps reading the SDcard, so some KK un-optimised apps keep trying to read it but cant, causing overheat and battery drain

Sadly i have no idea what apps cause that it's too hard to find the way because even with no app and the official stock rom i still have the battery drain overheating problem, the only solution for the moment is to remove my lovely cuttie 64Gb class 10 SDCard

If you are rooted and can change the permissions to remove this access.
Look in the general section, you just add one line to a permissions file. There is also an app in the play store that does it for you automatically

But I can keep them on Internal (as the Internal is also a SDcard, External SDcard1, and they do the same job) so to me do not make sense.

Wife's Note4 screen stays on.

Hello and Happy Turkeyday to all. I have an issue with my wife's note. When she gets any notifications they turn the screen on and it doesn't turn off. I feel pretty knowledgeable about the android O.S. in a whole, I have my S5 rooted and running AICP. I just can't figure out why the notifications cause the screen to stay on. Has anyone else had this problem maybe you could help shed some light on my issue. Thanks in advance.

Is the phone rooted?
Sent from my SM-N910T using Xparent Pink Tapatalk 2

No she won't let me root her phone.

Same problem
I have the exact same problem on my Note 4 (N910F).
My phone is rooted and I have had the problem from the start.
I am also running a custom kernel now but the problem persists.

Any ideas on why this is happening anyone? I've got it to not turn the screen on for a notification but now it won't turn off when plugged in.

Turn off the lock screen notifications, or everything you can on the lock screen settings, most likely something is causing the screen to wake lock. My bet is the weather widget.

So a little update, so far, my problem seems to be fixed.
After the app told me that Dsploit was causing a lot of screen-on time, I disabled the app.
Haven't had it happen so far today so I hope this helps you too.

Can anyone else have other fix? I have new note 4 with rom stock and very few apps (5-8 apps)
the "Wakelock Detector-Save Battery" app requird root this not my phone so I can't root for now.

If you have very few apps installed, uninstall those apps one by one to see which one is potentially keeping the screen on. Otherwise, do a factory reset, clear cache; also ensure power button is sticky and is fully functional.

I gave you Another solution.

Phone screen doesn't turn on after some idle time.

Since a little while I have an issue where if I leave my phone locked for a while (idle), and I try to unlock it, the screen doesn't show anything.
The device does still unlock but no image is displayed, the only way to fix it temporarily is to hold the power button and reboot the device.
I'm running Rooted Marshmallow atm, but the issue occurs with any ROM I have tried so far.
Does anyone know how to fix this, because it is really annoying.
Greetings

Does anyone have an idea??

I get this actually. The 'fix' is to swipe down from the top when the phone is unlocked but the screen is black.

Could it be due to Doze?

Everything ok with my device, never had this problem. I'm running official stock 6.0 non-rooted. Try to deactivate Moto Display and see if the problem continues to happen.

I've "disabled" Doze for 2 days now, and the issue hasn't been back since then.
So might be a doze related bug.
