Hi actually I've got Xperia ZL and having serious issues with it. Ive posted thread in ZL but unfortunately no one can help so i thought id try here. Flashed .244 software and now whenever I turn data on and try maps it switches off.
Re flashed rom again via flashtool but still experiencing same issue. Flashed older fw but still problems persists. Anyone can help please?
Sometimes it won't turn back on have to wait min or so. At times it turns off at boot animation Or worst have to connect to charger and it turns back on.
I've only experienced this when mobile data is turned on and connecting to maps.
Hi there.
Recently I just bought a Xperia SP. I updated the firmware to 12.0.A.2.254 (from 12.0.A.1.257), and then I realized that there was this part of the screen at the top (the notification panel and a small area below it) in which it was unresponsive (i.e. tapped but the touch wasn't registered). Before the update it was fine, but after the update it became unresponsive.
I've tried factory resetting the phone, restoring the phone through PC companion, but the problem still was not resolved. The last resort would be to go down to Sony and see what they can do about it, but I'd like to avoid that if possible.
I'm not really sure what causes this issue, there isn't even a SIM card or memory card inserted in the phone (I just took it out to test out its features).
Hope someone out there can offer some insights regarding this issue.
Thanks!
Hi,
Did you solve this issue downgrading or upgrading to another FW ?
Reflash with SEUS (Sony Update Service(Centre)) solves this almost all the time
Hey XDA'ers,
First off, in case anyone mentions that I have to use the search function of XDA: I did an I couldn't find any thread with this exact question, so I presume it's okay. Now, ever since I've installed the sound fixing update Over The Air, my phone crashes quite often. This happens most often when I play music through my amplifier with a standard 3.5mm cable. There seems to be about half an hour in between but it varies. The music would suddenly stop and my phone won't turn on anymore, with a completely black screen. If I then wait a little longer, the phone restarts and it does not even require me to enter my SIM's PIN code which is odd on its own, as if it doesn't fully crash but reboot on its own or something. I thought it only happened while listening to audio, but it just happened again when I only tried to open the Album app, I got the message that the app crashed and while that message was popping up (it was still a bit transparent) the phone froze and rebooted.
Now, I'm used to regular apps suddenly crashing with my Xperia Z1 which is weird to begin with, but opening these apps again just gets rid of the problem. It was only a minor annoyance so far, but it did make the Z1 look like the firmware wasn't stable at all (multiple apps keep crashing, even the front camera today as well...). But now that the phone even reboots at least every day, the minor annoyance is becoming a major annoyance. I really don't want to reinstall the firmware because it takes too much time to reinstall all the apps and data I have on the device.
So I'm just wondering now, am I the only one with this issue? I don't suppose there's an easy way to fix it without factory resetting or reflashing firmware. And by the way, I'm completely on stock with my device. I haven't rooted, unlocked the bootloader or anything. If you've experienced this as well, please let me know. Maybe we can dive into it. Have you for example reset factory settings with the issue reoccurring? Have you flashed the firmware yourself and did the issue perhaps stop? I'd love to know.

Try repair the Z1 via PC companion, you will not lose any data to do that and maybe will fix the problem, otherwise a Factory Reset will be recommended.

Wait, this PC Companion repair does not erase any kind of data on my phone? Are you sure?
I thought it would just reflash my firmware and basically do a factory reset. Which is not what I'm looking for.
Have you not experienced any app crashes or rather sudden phone reboots?
I have the same. Sudden reboots. It was the same way when I was rooted on the.. 757 firmware.
I did the repair with Sony update. Still the reboots but even more random. When rooted it usually rebooted when using camera.
Also the touchscreen doesn't react like normal sometimes. Not that often it happens but it happens.
Reboots about once every day and at completely random occasions.
I'm guessing it's the firmware, just have to wait until a stable firmware comes. Until then we are stuck beeing testpilots for Sony developers.

I only had some weird problems with the camera but only at first after that no problem

why you are afraid to start from 0 ... I can not understand ... too much of laziness??? your stories of wanting to keep your data, tends to cause bugs that are not on a clean system...
You can save the very important files on your computer... And restore the principal after...
You should atleast try a repair but for me everything actually got worse after the repair.
Someone at Sony replied to me with "have you tried your phone without the sim card". Are there known issues with simcards making our phones crashing I wonder?

First of all, i'd like to say i'm sorry for posting in here, because of xda regulation that don't allow me to posting in Android development because of my post
So here we go.
Last time i flashed ihackers rom for my xz. before that i was using stock rom android 10.3.x.xxx (i'm forget xD)
nothing wrong about the flash or so on. Everything seems to be okay..
I followed the instruction that given in the ihackers thread. i followed everything.
My xz now have the whole new ROM, iHackers everything runs okay, no problem so far. smooth at all.
until then, i noticed some problem.
When i was using my xz for chatting with my friend, my xz suddenly turned off. and i know my battery is full at the time.
i thought it was a small bug from the rom and i believe it was for the first and the last time my xz suddenly turned off.
Next time, i was using Waze for navigation. and guess what ? it happens again! my xz suddenly turned off!
and it happens very often
I thought, maybe when my Xz ram exceed >80% use it's automatically turned off or something like that.
So i try to turned off my phone and turned it on again.
After my phone turned on, i decided to rush, opened BBM and Line to text my friend and wondering if it can cause sudden power off too.
And of course! it happens! my phone turned off suddenly.
So it's like, "Wooo wooo woo, wait i minute man, i need some room to prepare everything after you turned me on, i can't just rush opening most application at the same time after turned on". LOL.
Is any1 have the same exact problem with me?
is there anything i can do?
Oh i'm forget to tell you guys.
I just experienced, sudden turned off when i'm just about to turned on my xz.
so, i turned on my phone, and it shows me a boot animation, and then BAM! my xz back turned off.
also, i experienced too, my xz turned on, but before get in to boot animation my xz became turned off.
what in the name of god is wrong with it???
So i'm trying to charge my phone and press the power button to turned on my phone and everything going well..
So, i have my own solution for that problem, if that problem occurs, i just need to plug in my charging cable to my phone and then power it on.
It's nearly imposibble to powering on my phone without plug in my charging cable in that case.
Also i'm trying to flash 230/233 ftf image to my phone because, back then my xz is not on 230/233 firmware and the thread starter told us to flash the 230/233 firmware.
Maybe it can solved the problem i thought, but it's not solved the sudden power off problem
before i flash the 233 firmware, the problem is still appears, and after flash 233 firmware the problem still appears.
can you guys help me out?
i would like to thank you for all of your solution
Biggest help thread I seen
Report it to the developer. May help
TapaTalked from my Xperia™ Z (C660²) running Dirty Unicorns ROM!
Hello, Its been a long time since I don't ask anything on the forum, but in this occasion I haven't found any solution to what's happening to my Xperia Z, I'm gonna do my best to present the issue.
A couple of days ago I updated my Xperia (unlocked bootloader) from Existenz 1.5.5 to the latest 3.0 and the phone was completely fine for 2 days until it started shutting down by itself constantly and with no apparent reason, so I started to get worried, the first thing I did was try and reinstall the ROM thinking that I had some something incorrectly, I has no luck with that, on the contrary the phone died on the middle of the installation and it got bricked. My next step was to try do do everything from scratch, flashing the stock rom 10.5.1.A.0.283 to root it, install recovery and try flashing the Existenz after. I managed to do everything with lots of unwanted shuts downs in the middle but I managed. Unfortunately the phone kept on having the same problem so my last option was to try and use the Sony bridge on my mac to try and make a factory reset but it didn't let me because it detected the unlocked bootloader so I relocked it with flashtool, after that I tried again and it worked, it installed the official stock rom .101 and guess what..... same issue again, when I try to turn the phone on it shows the sony logo and turns off, if I try to turn it on connected to the AC it turns on but if I start playing with the menus and options it disconnects again, ofcourse if I turn it on connected and once it's on I disconnect it it shuts down almost instantly, At first I though the problem could be software, then hardware so I tried to check the battery status in the service app and it said good battery health so now I'm completely lost.., I've found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/help/hardware-fix-xperia-z-charging-booting-t2760911 but I don't know if thats my case. I was gonna go to a sony store and ask them what could be the problem, but now I'm living in Brazil and it'd take lots of time and money to get ir fixed here.
I really need help here, sorry if I posted on an incorrect place.
I just found a video of someone with the exact same problem, in case in helps: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkvLchJ_0oU
UPDATE: I rooted it, install recovery and once im in recovery it doesn't turn off by itself what tells me that may not be a hardware problem, at least not battery related, all this just makes me feel more confused!!
UPDATE 2: I rebooted the phone to load the recovery again and the battery indication went from 89% 2 minutes ago to 11% this second time, maybe it's hardware after all..
Battery.....
TapaTalked from my Xperia™ Z (C660²) running Ultimate PureXZ Ultra!
I seriously don't think is the battery, I think it's something related to the energy but I'm not sure what. As I said before the battery went from 89% to 11% quite fast but when it was at 1% it stayed there for hours, if it was the battery wouldn't it had turned off? after it finally turned off I left it charging for about 12 hr and today morning I try to turn it on without it being connected and no luck, it kept shutting down after the Sony logo. Sometimes when I turn it on with the cable connected it loads the OS and I unlock the lockscreen, diconnect the cable and extraneously it stays on just with the battery power, I manage to put the ScreenOff timeout to 30 mins and it stays on all the time, as long as I don't do certain things like opening the camera, phone or sometimes it just randomly turns off from anywhere. I know it's not the rom because I've tried 4 different ones including the official installed by Sony Bridge....
If the issue is software related what could it be?? the bootloader? the bios power management? battery stats? maybe restoring TA backup(because I just relocked the bootloader using the option o flashtool, not flashing the TA backup)?
I'm concerned about buying a battery, installing it and seeing no change as I've read happened to some guys with the same problem.
I really like my phone but after this I'm not so sure i'll buy another Xperia because this has happened to so many people and apparently there's no solution, my phone is out of warranty and I life in a foreign country (Brazil) so you guys are all I have...
Same Problem Here ... Impossible to flash either from fastboot or from CWM or TWRP
Hi, I am having exactly the same problem. I was trying to revert to stock kernel from CM10.2 and was following one of the many guides here on XDA. The phone was not passing the «SONY» Logo, and immediately after such logo it simply went completely black and the phone is off. After two days of trying several things, including Fastboot of Stock ROM, fastboot of different boot.img files including Doomlord, using Sony Bridge for Mac, all of which did not solve the issue, the problem now is that when I try to flash any ROM, the flashing operation begins and then after approx 15 seconds the phone goes black and switches off. The battery is at 82%, so I am quite sure it is not a battery problem.
I am more and more convinced that the internal filesystem (or simply RAM) needs to be formatted at low level from scratch.
The only problem is that I do not know how to do it: how to do LOW LEVEL Formatting of RAM? Any instructions out there?
Any other suggestion?
Thanks

It seems like there's no solution and I don't think my battery is broken so I won't try the Hardware Fix since I don't wanna break my phone more than it already is, tomorrow I'll try to go the a Sony service store and see what they think the problem is, since I unlocked my bootloader and relocked after I think they will be able to see this, I think it ain't gonna be a problem because my warranty was void long time ago, and it's 1 year anyhow.... I hope they recognize it's a sony's fault issue and they decide to fix it with no cost, very unlikely but hoping is free gcecchini, i'll keep you updated, also if you find a solution let me know.
Hi Ringox!!! I'm having exact problem as your's.. This all started when I upgraded to 4.4.4 . First it was giving some weird problem like when opening camera , the phone shuts down. Then a time came the device was not charging.. The device boots up when connected to wall charger. But as soon as charger is removed the phone shut's down. Without connecting the charger when I tried to power on, it shows sony logo for 1 second the shut's down. I tried installing every stock rom , custom rom, kernel etc and it didn't solve the problem. I also bought new battery but same problem. I don't think it's software or hardware or battery problem but may be bootloader is corrupted. May be when we flash bootloader ( as in samsung) we may solve this problem. But I cannot find any tutorial an instruction to flash bootloader.
Also from quickstyler thread I can confirm that I have same problem as him, the sony mobile battey test app shows same error battery temperature -30 C . But his hardware fix didn't work either.
By searching for the problem on youtube, xda, google and other sources I can confirm 1000s of people is getting this problem ..
Please developer and member , help us provide solutions and tips what we can do next...
I have news, after one month waiting for Sony to repair my phone they've finally said it can't be fixed and they said the problem is the motherboard which is approximately 130 dollars plus installation, so I decided to park my Xperia and buy a SGS4. Something interesting that happened is that now the phone starts and sounds, just with a black screen all the time with the backlight ON, maybe they fixed something and broke something else, I don't know. If anyone knows a solution to this rather than changing the motherboard I'd appreciate the answer. I wanna fix it to give it to my mother, but I won't be buying any other Sony smartphone ever again, their service is a disgrace and I couldn't be more unsatisfied with them.
