Xperia Z1 screen problems - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I do not know whether it is the screen problem or the rom problem.
A week ago, I went hikinh up in malaysia and the phone got wet and couldnt turn on. I let it rest for a few days, and then did the rice thing. The battery was flat so i had it charged. It worked well for the past few days, but today while editing some photos on the phone, the screen suddenly sstarted fading to a black screen and couldnt be turned on. The battery was at 76%. Read some online forums and decided to plug it in to the charger, it booted, but the same thing happenned again. Now I flashed the ihackers rom over again and am waiting to see if the same thing will happen again.
Did anyone encounter such problems before?
Thanks in advanced.

Diamond Shutting Down

I don't know what is happening but the last 2 nights my Diamond turned itself off during the night.
The first night it was due to my diamond having a battery leak, my entire battery drained during the night so I couldn't turn it on until i charged it.
But last night was different it just turned itself off and this morning i needed to switch it on again, when i did it was fully charged :S
Are there more people experiencing this problem and if so, what is the last thing you do before laying it away for the night?
I usually kill all programs (with the default menu in the topright) and then run oxios closeapps.
I'm getting the same thing. I have a UK T-Mobile MDA Compact IV (HTC TD).
Last thing I do is close all progs and leave on the home screen plugged into the manufacturer supplied AC charger.
When I awake in the morning 5/10 times it's shut down, no idea why though!
Might be a heat cut out while charging thing?

I think your handsets are fautly. if you have warranty just send them for repair. and if you are withing the 28day limit then get a brand new replacement
dead as well
same over here Netherlands t mobile, phone runs for half an hour and then its dead , only to wake up after taking out the battery. I have already flashed the phone so , BeyBey phone???
mine is uk tmobile and have seen it just shut down without warning
i knew the battery was low though, it was also damn hot, switching back on whilst connected via usb would see it get a few seconds into booting before black screening on me again
cant decide if it needed more juice in the battery or cooling down before i would start properly
as i didnt get a low battery warning, which i know does work, i am suspecting over heating - it was serioulsly hot

Hey all.
Flashed my compact with the following
Olinex 1.40 Hard SPL
Shone on 1.4 WWE Rom
1.00.25.05 Radio
I also swapped battery with the wife's HTC Diamond for a few days then swapped back (may make not a drop of difference) but the closing down issue has not repeated itself at all.
Good luck & hope my information is useful

I've had my MDA C IV for a month now, it happened to me for about 3 nights in a row, a few weeks back. But not had the problem since. Not flashed the phone and only installed a few apps.
Somewhere here is allready a thread where many people are reporting reboot of the diamond over night while it is charging. They stated it happens only with device plugged in, so perhaps all posters in this thread have encountered the problem also with plugged in Diamond.
Because so many have this issue perhaps it is not a faulty device, but a faulty design of it. If only loaded my device once over night and did not payd attention to this, but I fear my device will do the same thing.
I haven't had this problem, but then I have never charged my phone overnight. Why do that? The phone can be recharged quite quickly. When i am at work, I simply connect the phone to my laptop USB. Syncing and charging at the same time. That's about it. Indeed I have never used my charger for the last 2 years with my Hermes either.
hi guys,
im having the same issues, maybe worse, im new so please be nice...
i came back to my phone and the screen was black, the only noticeable sign of life was the ''breathing''...
as i normally do i pressed the key to turn it on but this time it wouldnt turn on...it was as if the screen was frozen...after a while it came back on but than the phone was frozen...tried pressing more keys and than the screen went to a ''static'' like display (like what u get on a tv)
the phone then turned off for no apparent reason...after a few minutes of repeating this i decided to do a soft reset...
its back to normal...for now.....
the battery is full...
thoughts?
Thanks
Had a the same thing on my Touch Pro a couple of times. Sounds like a common fault.

my diamond has a full battery and when l played games on it it was shutting down by itself, after few days it began to shut down on every 10minutes and now l cant even start the phone!sometimes after taking out the battery it starts but it says only TOUCHDIAMOND on the screen for 10minutes and then is shuting down again!!please help how can l change rom if the phone is dead?
l have the SwiftBL-WWE-Diamond-v7-5-Full-16MbPP
Unsigned-Hard-SPL-Diamond-Olinex
and DiamondCustom RUU
previous rom was swedish and was working fine

Diamond turns off after a while.

Hey.
My diamond is acting strangely. For example, right know it's on but later on today or during the night it will turn off. And each morning I have to take out the battery out for about one minute and then press the power on button to get it to start up. If I don't take the battery out and I press the power on button it doesn't start-up. It just remains off. Sometimes it just gets stuck at the start-up O2 screen. But after a few tries it starts up normally and works.
I don't want to have to do this each morning, like I've been doing for the last several days.. Has this ever happened to anyone else? Anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks.
no but I've been having a similar problem lately, my diamond seems to shut itself off almost right after WM boots. I figured it might be a battery problem because it seemed to happen only when it was running off the battery or right after I disconnected it from the charger so I threw on nuePowerCPL to check battery levels, disabled the backlight power management and it's been up and running for 2 hours straight ... when I exit neuPowerCPL I get a voice command error that says voice command had a problem starting, please re-run the application and the phone freezes. Totally stumped about the powering off though. It may have something to do with the power management, I think it seemed to happen most when the screen tried to shut itself off, not always during that time though. I've reflashed telus(my provider) shipped rom a few times and tried a few other roms, reformatted my internal storage, hard reset etc. Any help would be appreciated if it saves me a few bucks on a battery.
quick bump, i'm completely stumped here. I booted into the latest android image from MrPippy and the phone doesn't restart when it's unplugged like in winmo without the battery monitor running(in winmo my phone will stay on till the battery is completely dead, showing good power levels, only if the battery meter is running, otherwise it restarts within a few minutes regardless of if I'm touching it or not.).
So it works normally with Android?
Then it's seems to be a problem with Windows.. Have you tried flashing another ROM?
Goodluck.
Also, an update on my situation. Thankfully it appears to be working normally now. At least if during the night I turn it off and take out the battery. There hasn't been any unexpected shutdowns since I left the battery out on Sunday night. Tonight I'm going to leave it on, to see if leaving the battery out all night actually helps, or it just is suddenly working properly.

Yeah, I've tried running a few different stock roms, a few off ppcgeeks/everythingdiamond etc, re-flashed spl once or twice, repartitioned/formatted sd card. Even tried leaving my battery out overnight. Was thinking in a frost-free freezer, in a bag of rice tonight ...
):
And how would that help? lol

If there's any moisture in the battery the rice will pull it out and the cold helps arrange the polarity in the battery ... You never used to put dead batteries in the freezer to bring them back to life when you were a kid?
Well, no. I've never heard about that before. >.<

Didn't work anyways. I just read another thread about a hard reset solving this but ... I've gone as far as completely repartitioning my internal storage + hard resets and that hasn't solved it. When I throw a multimeter on my battery the voltage is constant/consistent. At a total loss. As far as I can tell it seems like a blackhole in my battery between 0%-60%. Seems that once the battery drains itself to 60%, it's more like it's drained itself to 0%. When I plug the phone back in after it shuts itself off the battery is always reading 0% NOW, when I started troubleshooting this crap a few weeks ago it would power off any time (battery @ 94%) and I would power it back on to see windows reporting the same battery levels as when it shut off.
Update: I did a format w/mtty a day and a half ago and my phone hasn't restarted since (besides me restarting it, read ahead). The phone seems to be working fine for the most part but it seems the battery readings are never updated, it will sit w/an icon that says 94% in the taskbar all day, when I restart it it jumps down to 59% and stays there all day until another restart. Seems the only time I'm getting a reading from the battery is on first boot. Doesn't restart now though!
Good.
Unfortunately for my Diamond had a blank black screen when I turned the screen on this morning. ): After a couple of soft resets and after flashing another ROM it began working correctly. I'll see if it does the same tomorrow. :/

Which ROM had the problems? Which is the new one?
I have the same problems with EnergyROM (September 20 release). My current guess is WM6.5 not working properly with power controller of Diamond.
Could be. :/ The first time it gave me problems I had a WM 6.5 rom, and this time I had also flashed a WM 6.5 rom.. When it re-began to give me problems it had BOGYSOFTS V6 ROM, I don't know about the first time. Now that you point it out all the times it has given me problems I had a WM 6.5 rom, but maybe it's just coincidence..
Now it's not even turning on. If I press the Power On button and leave in it's pocket after a while it becomes somewhat hot... I don't know what's up. :S
This randomly started happening to me about 4 months ago. I was out at some clubs and whenever i checked my phone it was off! I thought it was a battery issue at first as thats what it seemed like.
I think I just hit the phone on the soft part of my leg pretty hard a few times. I havn't had any issues since.

blank/black screen after boot - frozen? gulp. . help

Howdy,
So I flashed my phone to cm4.2 last weekend and everything has been quite dandy. But I now I have a problem, and I kind of doubt its from the cmod because that was a week ago and this problem happened yesterday...
Yesterday I was talking on the phone until the battery died. Then I rushed to my charger and plugged it in. I tried to turn it back on but it would not. It goes to the G1 screen then to the CM boot animation screen then the screen turns BLACK! IT will not stop doing this. I have to keep pulling out the battery. Last night I even pulled out the SIM and battery for a few minutes. Then put them back and tried again. Same result. I charged it fully last night (while off) thinking that might help. This morning after the LED light was green I tried again to reboot the phone.. Also sometimes the phone will do this reboot sequence after I plug the charger in, but it still goes to the blank/black screen... awww..
I am really hoping I do not have to wipe the phone and start over again with my apps and stuff because I have not really found a great free backuper and have not backed up within the last few days. I can use home+end call button to get to the bootloader (right name?) screen. However I am REALLY hoping I do not have to wipe.
Any solutions? I tried searching but could not find an answer..
THANKS!! This is basically terrible timing too because I leave on vacation tomorrow morning and will be needing my phone.

[Q] Phone rebooting in whatever situation

Hello, I'm new to the forums, although I always keep an eye here to download a ROM or reading any tips, but the time has come that I really need help and can't find in any topic, even the ones that are similar to mine.
I own a note and I love it. I've been using the JellyBam ROM for a while now, never changed kernels etc.
that is... until yesterday, when I flashed the thor 0.28 kernel. Everything was nice but today I had to do some stuff outside home so I took my galaxy S player with me, but when I was driving it ran out of battery, so I put its SD card in my Note (N7000), but it didnt recognized my sd card, so i changed them back and drove without music and didnt touch my phone. this was 10AM, I guess.
when I stopped to get my hair cut I noticed my phone was rebooting. I had just left my house and the battery was already in 46%. this was about 10:30AM, so I took of the battery and replaced it. the phone started normally but when the main screen appeared it turned off. I thought it was only the display, so I pressed the on/off button but it didn't work, so I pressed a little longer and the phone started again. but then it turned off.
so I plugged it into the mobile car charger and it turned on normally. so I looked to the battery stats and it was showing 20% of battery left, but the moment I took the energy cable, the phone turned off.
long story short: until now my phone is only working when connected to its charger, although it's saying 100% charged :/
from 01PM, the time I arrived, 'til now I've wiped everything I could, changed kernels, changed ROMs but it refuses to work.
I notice something, though: while charging I can use it normally, except if I try to use the camera. When I click on the camera app it turns off, as like it was not connected to the charger.
I'm about to install the stock ICS ROM to see if the problem vanishes, but I doubt it. let's see...
hope anyone can help me :/
EDIT: I'm using the stock ICS without any problem for like 10 minutes now. But when I was configuring it for the first time it turned off once. this was 10 minutes ago. oh, and the camera is taking pictures and not turning the phone off... when connected to the charger. when I take pictures USING FLASH without charging at the same time, it turns the phone off. pictures without flash are taken normally. goddamn it D: what this could be?
I would just try another battery.
If the problem doesn't occure due to the system, it can only be a hardwareproblem.
So just ask a friend and put the battery of his/her phone into yours and check if the problem still exists.
reported for using a non gpl kernel.
Change it, if you wsnt to receive help at xda, or go ask in th*rs forums...
You are like high on weed going to cops(xda) to ask them about thc content (the kernel that shall not br named)... and then not expecting a scolding.

Charging loop overnight? Screen may be damaged.

Hi everyone, yesterday I used NeMa's battery calibration to reset the batterystats on my Xperia Z3 Compact running the latest Cyanogenmod. I had done it when the phone was charged at 100% and noticed that the battery instantly dipped to 99% afterwards. I took note but I wasn't worried at the time. Last night I left the phone on its charging dock and slept for about 5 hours and 30 minutes. When I woke up I picked up the phone and noticed it was hot. The screen was fine at the time so I checked the battery percentage, saying it was stuck at 99% which leaves me to believe that the battery was stuck in a charging loop from a bad calibration. I texted someone and also noticed that the Swype keyboard was laggy and unresponsive, but with my lock password, etc. it seemed to be fine.
I powered the phone down and slowly tried to dissipate heat with warm water and later colder water. When I tried to power the phone on, it had shown normal booting until the end when the screen gave out. Currently, it will show normal LED lights up top and calls will still register, but the screen is dark and doesn't seem to have promising digitizer input because I can't answer the call even though I know where to touch the screen to answer it.
Has this happened to anyone? This is my first encounter dealing with this. Any fixes (screen response or proper calibration), or would I just have to get it repaired?
Hello, check this things out
only 2 ways to find out if the screen is working or not working at all
a) a very dark place... start the phone.. maybe the screen is not iluminted proprey ! and maybe the screen is visible ...but very limited.
b) buy a mhl to hdmi cable.. to connect from phone to a smartv.
And see if the touch respons.. if yes the only the screen i out.. if not the screen +touch is out ( dead)
Yeah the screen and digitizer are fried. I'm going to try and return it to the seller stating a defective battery. Has this happened to anyone else? I just need to know if there are any fixes to this if I were to get the same phone.

Poor seller, you blew up your phone with bad software and water and you want someone else to pay for it.
