Ok, so, I've had this for a while now... I've searched for solutions, found people with the same problem, but no definite answers, so I thought one of you guys can help me.
My flash (camera) light is always on. By always, I mean ...when the phone itself is on, i.e. the light doesn't go off until i turn the phone off... ALWAYS. The light is not at it's full strenght, it's somewhat hard to notice during the day for ex., but I just don't know how to turn it off.
I thought maybe that some app might be using it, but after checking into it, I don't think that's the case here...
So, any solutions or at least ideas on how to aproach this? Thanx...

then maybe try downloading other flashlight apps from play and doing the same thing?
I have torch app that comes with CM 10, and I've tried the thing, nothing...
I doubt that it will be different with other apps, but I'll try them too. Thanx.
Ok, just noticed one majpr thing - the flash is on even when the phone is turned off!!! Not sure what that means...
Btw, tried with 5 different app store apps, no change.
Same problem with stock ROM?
Haven't tried that yet... It's a major pain in the ass. And even if it resolves it, I'm not going back to stock, for sure.
But, if it is gone on stock, and then doesn't come back on new CM flash, then it could be worth it. (even if it's double pain in the ass)
But, I doubt that will be the case. I am thinking more and more that the problem is hardware orientated.
As for the time before I migrated to CM, I don't remember.
Anyway, thanx, I'll think about doing it if I have the time.

It's not that hard to try it, just to know if it's software or hardware related.
Make a full backup in recovery, then flash stock with Odin.
See if problem is solved.
If not, it's probably HW related.
Now you can just flash recovery and restore your backup if you don't have plans to bring it in for service.
If it's fixed, then it's probably best to make a clean cm install anyway.
Hope you'll find a solution.

You should definitly object to the seller, if you are in position. It's not a small problem.

For no apparant reason it keeps freezing on me, and each time always displays the same fuzzy graphics on the title bar (see attachment).
Has anybody come accross this issue? What shall I do?

Do you have a custom rom or a stock rom?
What rom are you using?
What radio are you using?
Can you tell us the available memory you have?
Do you have a task manager installed, and are you making sure everything is closed prior to opening new programs?
That information will be helpful in figuring out what's going on. Let us know, thanks! =)
If you don't have one of the newer custom roms, you're pretty much guaranteed to get an answer of "install hardspl / new radio / rom".
If you have a stock rom from HTC... you're gonna hear "reflash the phone with the stock rom, and if it still does it.. return the phone, or flash it with a custom one".
How much warranty do you have left?
Can you also give us a list of what programs you have installed, and which ones are usually running?
Pictures part 1
Thanks for the quick response. There are a lot of questions so i took a bunch of screen shots. Hope this helps. Let me know if you need anymore detail.
See second post as i am unable to post all pics in one post.
Thankyou

I am also running battibar in the background.
Well, from what i gather from the screenshots you posted everything should be working fine. There's no reason it should be freezing up, unless there is some sort of conflict, or corrupt program.
Have you noticed that it happens after opening a certain program, or is it really random?
Oh, I take it that's a stock rom right? You never flashed the phone, you just installed individual cab files, right?

It seems to be random but then on the other hand ive noticed that it usually happens when its been sitting on the charger and idle (for example, i'll pop it on the charger before bed, and when i wake up in the morning its frozen). Also it happens at work when its connected to my pc via activesync and after i havent been doing anything for a while.

Well... it could be overheating. If that's the case it's gotta go back. How much warranty do you have left on the phone before it ends?
Novice Gadget Boy said:

Well, just like I posted above. Everything seems fine... and since you are using the stock rom you only have a few choices. You can start uninstalling programs 1 by 1... (noting which ones you uninstall so you can put them back on). Go 1/2 a day, and see if you still have the problem after uninstalling each program. That will help narrow down the theory about corrupt programs or conflicts.
Another option, is reloading the stock rom from HTC... and don't install anything. See how that works for a day... if it's fine, then you can start installing programs.... then if the problem occurs, you know it's got to be something with one of the program you've put on there.
Then you could always just uninstall everything, reset everything, and send it back and get a new phone.... but if it's the software causing the issue, and you put the same software back on the new phone.. you'll just be right back in the same situation again.
If you have warranty time left, i'd uninstall everything, and demand a new phone because of teh issues you are having. Onec you get it, then i'd flash with a custom rom... just make sure you do it right. =)
EDIT: Hell even if you don't have any warranty left, i'd STILL flash with a custom rom. I can't even begin to tell you how much better my phone runs now that it's flashed compared to before. I was using the stock ROM before from HTC, i had some issues... it was a bit laggy... so i reflashed with the stock rom, limited the software i put on it.. etc. etc.... still ran like dog piss... so i flashed, and well..... you get the picture. It's awesome now.

10 months. But i dont feel any heat whatsoever, and the other day i was using it at work all day connected via activesync and it didnt freeze up. its only when i leave it idle on the charger.... Last weekend i kept getting messages from friends all during the night while it was on the charger (i was reading messages) and it didnt freeze.
So if it's sitting still for a long time without activity.. it freezes. Hmm... well i could give you a dozen things to try, but they'd just be bandaid fixes anyway. If it's freezing something isnt right.
Read my first post on page 2 of this thread you started and that should give you your options. FLASH!!
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 )

Background info: I've had my Xperia Z1 only for two to three weeks now. I've been enjoying every part of it, but I've come across three particular gripes I have to mention.
First, random app crashes. One time the Album crashes, the other time System crashed. It appears to be random, not based on anything you were or weren't doing at that moment. I don't think I'm the only one with this though.
Secondly, and here's where it gets weird: my on-screen buttons disappeared. I believe I was just closing GTA: San Andreas. Suddenly, the buttons were gone. I could scroll through the app drawer perfectly, still. That's the odd thing. I should've taken a screenshot if I realised this earlier. I will next time it happens, so let's hope I don't have to. After a while, the phone froze and I decided to reset it, after which everything returned to normal. I guess that's one part where hardware buttons beat software - they don't magically disappear (I hope..).
Lastly, I opened the camera and it looked like it lagged. I pressed the Home button twice or thrice, but then the entire device froze and it kept vibrating like hell! I don't particularly enjoy 5" vibrating devices so I decided to reset it as quickly as possible. No way that could've been good for the device.
Have you experienced one of the last two issues I've had? Or have you had something similar yet different?
Let me know below!

It's pretty important to not lose the three main on-screen buttons, not to mention having a device that doesn't vibrate like you-know-what.
What would repairing the firmware do? The phone is still new. There couldn't be anything wrong with the firmware, not solvable by flashing the same firmware over it again, I reckon.

yeah these are problems and easily can be solved
by PC companion.
even more issue can appear on new phone.
these are bugs on ur ROM
when u repair firmware, PC companion will download latest firmware (available for ur region) and install it on ur phone.
That can solve ur problem.
-
if repairing by PCC didn't help u should download Flash-Tool for Xperia & firmware of another region and flash it.
u can find useful information about it here.

How can this be a ROM dependent error when I just had my Xperia Z1 for a couple of weeks and updated to official Android 4.3 Jelly Bean through an Over The Air update? My Android firmware is as official and up-to-date as it gets right now.
EDIT: Actually, I wasn't even asking for a solution. I was purely wondering if anyone else had these specific issues as well.

Because any update (especially an OTA) might fail and because these errors (mentioned, i think, for the first time here) are ROM dependent.
So first thing I would do is trying the repair.
I'm aware that you only asked for similarities, but as the are annoying errors, we just wanted to help with a possible solution.
Are you running a 4.3 stock ROM?
Do you use bluetooth/have it turned on?
If yes to both, it is a bug in the 4.3 roms related to bluetooth. Only solution I am aware of is to restart the phone whenever it happens and if you can leave bluetooth off

Hi guys, just got my mix around a week ago. Flawless at first, no real complain, then this morning i noticed my smartband hasnt given me any notification and it turns out the phone bluetooth connection is dead.
Dead as in you can click it to tell it to turn itself on, but nothing happens. It doesnt recognise any bluetooth nearby either. Tried the test in the about section of the phone and it doesnt give me anything on the bluetooth status, just blank.
Tried restarting the phone, same thing. Factory reset, same thing. Im on 8.0 global rom straight from when i bought it. Any idea if this is hardware or software?
Thanks
I flashed EpicROM from last week and now I can't connect to my Bluetooth speaker. I can still see Bluetooth devices but it's not pairing. Worked on EpicROM from february

Well at the very least you still able to toggle the bluetooth on and off, while mine just doesnt even budge. Really disappointing though...

Good point Jazz....when I dirty flashed to the 8.2 global rom I was having all kinds of forced closes literally almost every few seconds it seemed. It clearly stated in the guide if you go from developer rom to global you should do a complete wipe but I seemed to miss that part. I then re formatted and started from scratch and it worked like a charm after that...zero FCS. Give it another try if you didn't wipe it last time, could make the difference.
I'm from official rom 8.2.3.0 stable and without bluetooth since 3 days ... I wait for an official update or it's hardware problem ? What can i do ? I'm so sad and disappointed with this !

Try to do a clean flash with another rom, like global or last beta. Probaly, is a software problem.
I'm already on global rom ... A clean flash is full erase of the phone but Mi Mix without SD card is a big problem for backup all my phone ...

Did you buy it new, which ROM, could it be vendor rom, do as suggested, back up you're data, install custom rom it's the only way to find out if it's hardware, no one else is reporting these sorts of problems even after 2 years of abuse.

Hi,
I am currently experiencing a problem with my finger scanner. It does not show up under settings.
Everything was going going perfectly a couple of days ago, but one morning, it was bugging si I decided to restart my phone. Since then, it disappeared from the settings menu.
Does someone else have the same issue?
Is there a way to say if it is due to a software or hardware issue?
Any thoughts?
Thanks for your help!

Thanks for the advice, but I already tried it, two times just to make sure... Nothing changed.
The weirdest thing is that restarting the phone gave me access to the fingerprint scanner once, but disappeared 2 days later... Since then, have not been able to get access to it. This is why I don't know if it is hardware or software related.

You should also try to downgrade to older software using FF, if that doesnt work than its hardware problem. EDIT: Try wipe cache using stock recovery first
