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.

Hi guys.
My mother's XSP have some problem after updating to 4.3
Like before, there wasn't a single problem with screen when she was on 4.1, after updating it to 4.3 and screen can turn it off by itself without notification. Just turn off and that's all. She have to wait few seconds in order to make XSP respond to power button and turn on the screen.
Mostly this happen when using Facebook App, yes she's using Xperia with Facebook and Facebook messenger.
Apps are up to date, I've already try factory reset aka wipe data. Still problem occurs.
Anyone with the same problem or an idea how to fix it ?
Like I'm having same set up on my XL with 4.2.2 and no problem.
I don't know if that will help buyt she's using stock 4.3, her model is C5303 and her customization number is: 1273-0060.
Yes she have branded phone.
I think that might be a motherboard issue, Take it to a service center
I don't think so thats the motherboard issue, that didn't happen on 4.1.
Downgrade to 4.1.2. 4.3 got some RAM management issues
Typical for Sony, release a firmware with bugs.
Don't know how but need to get 4.1 with Vodafone Branding.
Hi guys,
Got a problem with my mother's Xperia SP. WiFi doesn't seem to stay on when the screen is off, despite the right option being ticked in settings. It doesn't show any sign that it's disconnected, but Google Play Music stops downloading the long queue of music we've selected to be stored on the device if the screen is closed for a little while. This is most frustrating, and I suspect a software bug.
This is an Xperia SP on Orange, build number 12.0.A.2.254 (the latest available, Android 4.1.2) and the bootloader is not unlockable or I would have installed Cyanogenmod already.
Any ideas?
Hello guys so I got my new phone today it was a replacement for my old Xperia Z (same model) and it was working fine the whole day until my phone battery was low so i got home and decided to charge it. Everytime I put my charger in it automatically plays an Xperia Z advert that you would usually see on displays in the store and this causes my settings and homescreen to reboot. Can someone please help me ?

First, do not post in the General Section, do it in the Q&A Section!
Second, type this into your dialer:

Hey,
I'm writing this thread because my SP have a problem i have never seen.
About once per day, the screen freeze, takes stranges colours(like the white turn yellow and black turn grey or green) for about 5 seconds, then come back normally.
I know it's only the screen freezing because the sound works normally during the freeze.
I think this is not a software problem because it started when i was in Paranoid Nexus, i changed my ROM few times (PAC, CM11) and i'm actually on stock ROM and it's still having that issue.
Somebody know what this problem is ?
Thanks a lot
(sorry for the bad english, i'm french :laugh: )

Hmm... for my sp there is exacly same probliem freeze and colour changes like contast geting bigger and bigger than all works normal and many times i get that probliem on many roms i think this is hardware probliem but as I can say just use phone this probliem is not so bad as its can be :good:
This is a known issue on Xperia SP and it is indeed a hardware problem. It happens a lot of times on my phone with varying intensity, sometimes screen fades very little and returns back to normal, sometimes it completely blackens out and restores itself.
I had a similar experience when I had the stock ROM, used to see weird colors and phone restarted. didn't have that issue on CM11 though.
