Database Develop

Xperia T SOD

Hi there everybody, I've been having sudden Sleeps of Death, doing some research have found that may be sd card related, however nothing focused to our beloved T. After some time of inactivity phone won't come on after pressing power button to wake.
Anybody of you having this issue as well? Any advise?
I'm running timin8r stock Rom .233 along with its corresponding kernel, rooted and deodexed and a HP micro sd card, 32gb, class 10.
Thanks and happy holidays everyone!

I also have a 32GB microsd and haven't had any problems myself. Been on this ROM for a few days. It's been downloaded quite a few times and haven't had anyone else complain.

On stock kernel? If yes then sounds odd
Try a fresh install is all I can suggest or get a logcat

Gonna try that, thanks for your support!

I've got a 64gb card in mine and no problems so far. Had my phone for about 6 weeks now.
If I helped hit thanks!

Ok guys, made a clean install from scratch yesterday and the problem is virtually gone, just one sod after a couple of hours of inactivity. However Media Server app is killing my battery, will not cease for hours consuming from 40 to 50%, doing some research they suggest changing sd card and empty it at all, which I've done unsuccessfully.
Could be somehow related? Is it just me having this weird behaviour?
Thanks in advance!

That's expected behaviour on a clean install. Android needs several hours to build all databases. Including media database.
Just wait another charge and see if it gets better

Well, it happened again today´s morning, I´m kind of frustrated here... when everything seemed to be running at last fine and smooth... So I ran the Repair Phone from the PC Companion which just installed the same version that I previously had, .233. And now the waiting.
My T is bootloader locked and no cpu manage apps.
Here a screenshot of the logcat from the aLogcat app just before the last crash.
Will update how is going after the companion repair, and if it continues then will be hardware related I think.
However any advice is always welcome, thanks!
EDIT: Same issue after Companion Phone Repair, and the same at night when entering deep sleep mode. So I've downloaded an app to prevent my T from going to deep sleep and seems to be working.
By the way wise guys any of you have a clue in how often or after how many minutes in lockscreen the phone will go to deep sleep? No info at all in the web and, baseband 33 is supposed to work fine in every network around the globe? I know of course they are location specific but can't find much about radios.
Thanks for helping!

I had some problems with my music database and had to clear the media storage app's database and then reboot the phone to rescan. When I did that the phone battery drained pretty fast for 30 mins or so and then settled down - and media server was shown by batt stats to have done most of the draining.
This might be linked to your problem. If your SD card has corruption on it then the media scanning may get part way through and get stuck, eventually causing a system issue that causes the SoD. It might not even be a corrupt file but some issue when it encounters a particular file due to a bug in the program.
My advice would be to backup card content, reformat and copy files back on slowly over a number of days to see if the SoD issue of happens after a particular file is copied onto the card.
Reformat is an important step here. If you empty your card and just copy the files back on it isn't a clean file system. Reformatting will give you a freshly initialised card to work from.

Thanks for the advise emuX, despite of have done this I could not get it to work. The SOD continued and every day it got worse. So I dropped my T to service via carrier. They held my device for a couple of days to find out that the hardware (just as I suspected) was the guilty department of these sod´s.
In fact they were not able to run a ftf or "flash cam" (never heard of that) since the hardware keys were not responding any more.
An exceptional case so far in the T but of course really annoying and disappointing.
They are to change my device as soon as they arrive, given they are sold out in my specific carrier store.
This could happen to any random device and there´s no software solution or walkthrough. If you have these symptoms do not hesitate to get an Exchange phone from your carrier. Hoping of course that will be the good one, just like me...
Flashing generics ftf´s, rooting, unlocking bootloader (officially done) etc, has nothing to do with this, it´s not somehow related and is not guilty of this bad. (Well, that said by the sony guy) Good luck with your device.
Happy holidays!

I have the same problem like you ....
Sometime my phone will not wake up and i nedd use vol. up + power ....
So your advice is to change phone ?

Hi everybody well... Again writing from my new T and guess what... The same issue again so dont really know what could be happening. From now I'll be looking from Sony Support advise since this is inaceptable indeed.
Have done nothing to my phone at all, no root, no mods, no sd, no nothing. Even running it with all the brand bloatware.
Let's see what happen to our device in the future.
Merry Christmas.

Hi, i dont have any adw launcher,any SD card.Nothing just plain system.. And guess what.1.time when this happend to me was after when i open the box with new phone unbox it ,charge battery, after that power on my device play with phone maybe 10 minutes (it was without sim card,without,sd card, just on wifi).After that i leaved new phone on the table maybe for 20 minutes and than i couldnt wake up my phone -just with volumeUP+power.
So I dont think so its problem with some app or launcher....i think i need to change present sony to another sony xperia t and i will see. I think its a hardware problem...

Then you really really have some bad luck mate. Hope your next XT goes better. I personally never had an sod. So musty be either an app or hardware. Maybe some carrier app? Don't know which carrier you are on, and which carrier any other user with sod has.

Any news ? Today i will reclaim my phone so we will see whats going on..

I've had the same issue. Took my first t back and got it swapped. This one's not doing bad so far. Only issue I have is the fact that I've fitted a 16g sd card and no matter what I do files that I have moved onto the ext card always end up back on the original card. Don't know how to resolve this.

Hello again guys, updating this thread well... I´ve got to tell you, I´ve tried everything to live with this *** issue, with no need for this of course, and non of my "tricks" have given relief for it.
Installed wakelock apks to prevent this SOD or Sudden death, wathever... Obligate my T to stay awake by using EVERY SINGLE MINUTE doing whatever it took and usually didn´t know what to keep it that way.
Not to say I tried flashing ftf´s from here to there expecting that could be the expected medicine. Nothing worked.
So today I finally got an exchange phone from warranty at my carrier and got a SGS3, can´t be happier.
Despite of knowing some sIII have begun behaving bad as the T, my III doesn´t seem to match the faulty criteria and I´m enjoying a very reliable phone.
A blazzing fast, Bond deserved phone.

I noticed that this bug happens very rarely when I disable the wi-fi and normally it happens when I receive the notification of an upgrade from the Play Store.
While the wi-fi is enabled the SOD happens almost every 30 minutes.
Does it happens to somebody else?

Hi,
your answer is here!. Seems to be a hardware short circuit.
maybe putting your open device close to a warm source to dry it will give you 15.031969% to save it...
Else, I fear you need Samsung service..

I don't mean to be rude but why did you open a thread here on XDA about this?
This site is for mobile phone/tablet development.
You have bought a faulty device, it happens.
You need to take it back for a replacement, simple.
I hope you get it sorted! It's never nice buying something and it not working properly.

i believe it got something to do with calibration or something related to software
as phone was flashed earlier and it might be something to do with flashing
i was thinking of writing NV calibration data from another phone to see if that may help, but thought of getting more ideas first.

Oh right, fair enough then. I thought it was brand new and you'd just taken it out of the box.

as good as new, only a few days used, sending it back would be costly

[Q] Firmware 9.2.A.1.199 is useless!

I've tried several different firmwares. Belgian, Italian, CE, etc. I've done factory rewipes, I've gotten root, I've removed root. Whatever I do, the phone is possessed. It randomly turns off completely or it reboots. Sometimes when using the internet, sometimes when trying to open the lockscreen, sometimes when I simply touch the screen! Anybody having the same problems? Any solutions?

Maybe it's hardware problem? Does it happens on 4.1?

Nope. 4.1 was perfect!

Try to remove your SD card.
If it doesn't work, then try to format internal storage.
If it doesn't work, then make a factory reset and install your app one by one, because there could be one that gives issues with the new system.
Let us know..

I did that. Which of your 15 phones is it? I went with Pure-X Blaster for my V. It is pretty similar to 4.3. It's 4.22.
I am a bit surprised. People usually would not have such a tolerance, that was only known for a fruit religion.

Downgraded to 4.1.2 which used to be rock solid...now getting random reboots and shutdowns!

There's something wrong with your hardware
Do you have your bootloader unlocked?

The power control function of the battery is dead on your device.
The reason I asked if you had tried 4.1 since is for me upgrading to 141 last year I had the same issue and so did a lot of others. The T is very prone to this failure, it can happen thorough everyday use but more commonly appears to happen post major update.
Very simple to rectify, if under warranty Sony will replace as they did with me, if no warranty you need to buy a new battery and replace it(plenty of guides on youtube.)

Already tried that. I think Wobba-Lee was correct. Somehow the update can fry the battery sensor.

I've had this happen before and found the SIM card had moved slightly. Removing it and refitting it solved the issue.

Problem with my TF701T after rooting

I just rooted my tablet using instructions from several sources here, and have a bit of a problem. I rooted it because of a slightly annoying problem with the touch screen. It worked great 90% of the time, but occasionally I would have to tap an icon a few times for the screen to respond. I have not installed any Rom on it as I decided to keep it stock for the time being. That could change real quick though!! After I rooted it, the problem has increased. I did install several tweaking apps on it (Enterprise ram and digitizer booster, Optimus Root Memory Optimizer, and Entrophy Fixer) and a few games that I had on it before. Removing the digitizer app did no good. The odd thing about it is, I do not notice the touch screen issue if I am playing a game, only when I touch the application icons or links. There does not appear to be any app available to calibrate the screen. Has anybody else had this issue with the 701? Thanks for any help you can provide!!

I may end up trying CM12. I am also getting an error at boot up , "the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped" . It does not seem to be causing any problems, but it is annoying nevertheless. Also, this rom is nice, but I see no performance difference between it and stock. I tried that calibration app you linked to, but it does not seem to have done anything. Thanks!

I doubt it, but doesn't hurt to try. CM12 is in beta though. CROMi-X 7.1 was just released. The "xxx process has stopped" is a bug that will be ironed out soon. You did clean install the rom, did you?
But if you have the same problem on different roms it's unlikely that your touch problem is software related.
To rule out a software problem you should format data and reflash the rom. Format, not just wipe. Which will delete all data on your tablet.
Also try with the microSD out. Bad cards can cause all kinds of weird problems.

Thank you for your response. I was able to fix the process error, but I still ended up putting CM12 on it anyhow! It took me all of 10 minutes and I have had no problems so far. It is very smooth and fast. I did a wipe/format, and a dalvik wipe before I put CM12 on it using CM 6.0.5.1 (I think that is the correct version). Not sure I did that correctly though, since my download folder on the tablet was still intact afterwards. My LCD problem is more than likely hardware, but it is more of an annoyance than anything. It only affects opening up apps. The screen works great in games and just typing.

Need help, big issues

Hello, fellas, I bought the E6553 and it was updated to 32.2.A.0.253, I disabled the bloatware that I'm not using, but the phone is heating too fast and too much even when only being here in XDA labs. The screen brightnes is like half, and I can almost cook eggs on my E6553, I get 50k on Antutu... is a factory reset an option, or should I make a PC Companion repair?

Will someone help me ?

This phone heats up and it's quite normal. You can try many options but the best one is to get rid of it.
I've got mine as gift so don't have invoice and warranty card so cannot sell it easily.
Or
You can try underclock the cpu. Further check the Rev of phone on the box. Mine is Rev 2 and it's gets hot easily. Rev 5 is said be cool one.

By the way, my phone came with 6.0.1 installed, with chinese language and Z5's dark theme, that means that someone has done that, can this be the reason or whatever?
