[Q] HELP: Xperia SP random power off (?.,? ) - Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After stock update to 4.3 faced a lot off bugs on Xperia SP. Mostly kick out form running app.
But in last 3 days it started to randomly power off with just black screen. I thought something went wrong with stock ROM so installed custom ROM, phone works better, but random power off still exist as problem.
What could be a cause and solution to this problem?
btw I'm noob to these problems and solution.

so even on custom ROM this happens ?
can you get back to stock by flashing a ftf ROM with flashtool ? just to make sure if it is a software problem or a hardware one

Tried that, still got problem, now I installed stock old version 4.1.2. It seems good for now 1 hour and phone is still on. I hope this nightmare is over.
But if problem still existed, that means problem is on hardware. Right?

So easy way to fix that problem is to buy new ****ty smartphone.

Maybe your battery is broken. That's why I asked for the amount of time you can use your phone with screen on.
Do the random power offs occur when the phone is charging?

Haven't tried this on charging.
But in last day I noticed that when phone starts to heat it's shutting down, but not always.

random or sudden power off is solved with new battery

I'm also experiencing this. I doubt it's hardware as this is experienced by a large majority of GT-I9100G owners.
Could potentially be software, hopefully it'll be resolved with the ICS update.

In fact i listen to music only with headphones, so, i don't know if the problem is there without them...
In fact, i can live with this problem, but when i listen to music with the native player or with playerpro (with my headphones or in my car), sometimes the music is "jumping", just like when a cd player is lightly chocked ...
Do you know what i mean ?

i faced the same problem too in both stock n superRom. the problem went away after i flashed lucifr kernel. im currently using streetware kernel and so far i havent faced any such problems.
i faced this problem before and still facing it....but when i reset my phone to factory defaults and wipe all my data...i tried listening to music before installing any new apps for hours and the problem is gone...but now after installing apps and put alot of files and music in the phone, the problem came back again...this problem gave me a headache to keep tracking and monitoring what app or why i faced it again....
not on g, but happened too on ics with mine, i go back to miui gb and problem is gone.
i guess is ics, not hardware.
Hi everybody,
i have a i9100g too and i tried many roms (official or not) and i face the same issue.
But i've found that it's happen only with a headset PLUGGED on the jack port.
So i use a bluetooth headset and everything work fine
I also faced the same problem while using the stock rom
But now the problem has gone since i m using superrom 3.1
It happens only when your cpu freq gets low
I used set cpu to set my freq to 1200 MHz
And now dat prob has vanishd

A custom kernel is the solution. Trust me, the music skipping drove me mad when I first got the phone. I still had frequent skips with lucifr 1.6 but changing to codeworkx kernel fixed it. Now using Streetware kernel, no more skips, best kernel so far.

[Q] Xperia V - SOD, software or hardware?

Hi,
do we know if the SOD problems are software or hardware related? ( Was gonna link to the SOD thread at Sony, but cant because of few posts. But google "Xperia V random freeze in standby" and your there..)
I am about to send my phone in for service, but since this will propably take a couple of weeks im hoping a software fix would be released.

So you had SOD, set min cpu and it helped?
Which firmware version?
How frequent was the SOD?
How long without?
I use the latest JB rom. I got 1~2 SoD per day before minimal CPU setting change. Now it stands well for more than two days without SoD. The Wifi is on. Maybe my good luck but worth trying.

Wifi of is not an option. Like a sportscar without an engine, but nice to get solid indications that WiFi actual is the problem. Seems like it would be fixable by software then, if only Sony care to take action.
Hmmm... a SoD again. :crying:

From my experience using Xperia V Stock ROM Singapore FTF Jelly Bean for 3 weeks, I must say that it is the best ROM I ever used for my Xperia V. Better than my stock ROM Malaysia ICS version. Give it a try and feel it.

If so, how frequent?
And what more what excatly do you mean with best rom?
No SOD? Less SOD?

I don't have any problem regarding SOD with my Malaysia stock ROM ICS. But battery drains really fast and really hot even I do not use it (standby mode). Solution: Flash Singapore Stock ROM JB and walla

This thread is about the SOD( "Sleep of Death") problems that some users have experienced on their Xperia V.
With the purpose of figuring out if this is a hardware( need to get phone replaced) or software( can be fixed by update).
So if you never had any issues with the SOD on your phone, on either ICS or JB, the information about which rom you think is the best do not help with the question asked in this thread. Please read before posting...

I just give my opinion. If this method helped other users fixing their SOD, who knows. I suggested to my friend that have SOD problem (Stock ICS Malaysia) to flash his Xperia V with Stock ROM Singapore, and he has no problem with SOD until now (a week of usage).
Just give it a try.

Have you tried a factory reset? When I had this issue on my Xperia TL, (before I rooted it and installed XperimenT) I uninstalled a ton of apps and disabled the ATT apps. It was doing the SOD every night. I would go through any recent apps you've installed and delete/disable them. If that doesn't work do a factory reset and _slowly_ reinstall apps. I think this is a case where something is interfering with Sony's stock firmware.
for those still having SOD, maybe u can try this. not sure it helps or not. because before i install jellybean, i review the code in build.prop first. so that is why it didnt happen on me for 2 weeks. well, i test it out yesterday.
use either ES file explorer or Root explorer, go to system -> build.prop.
find this line dalvik.vm.heapsize=36m, put a # in front of it to disable this code.
it could be because there is another similar code, thus conflict. u can find another similar line at the bottom of build.prop.
hope it helps!

Serious problem with screen flickering on 4.3..

Hi.. i have serious problem with my sp.. my screen is flickering (minilag) every 1 second when i try any 4.3 rom... i have tried the following
-Update official 4.3 before unlock bootloader and root device (stock kernel-rom)..
-Tried some custom 4.3 roms after i have unlocked bootloader and rooted my device..
-Tried cyanogenmod.. the annoying thing is that with cyanogenmod i get that flickering with all versions of 10.1 - 10.2 - 11
-In every rom i tried everything.. (close auto brightness, set brightness to max or min, Bravia engine on/off, change wallpapers and hit home button 8 times as someone said in another thread.. tried tweaks with trickster MOD,system tuner Pro,Android tweaker Pro,installed project fluid and more..
The problem dissapear when i install any 4.1.2 rom.. everything works perfect not even a spike.. i use Clean&tweaked rom v4 .. but i really want to be able to upgrade and try 4.3 , 4.4
Thanx if you read this and sorry for my bad english
Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp

Reset or reflash phone. These are the only two solutions that can help. If the problem still occurs you should consider to let a service center repair it.

Gyroscope not working ZL 4.3(101) & 4.4 (230)

This problem appeared in 101 ROM when i tried to used photospere. the mosaic would never align to start the image. So i tried photo 360 to check this. same problem. i checked the gyrocope in service menu. it keeps on rotating even its kept in the stable most place.
so i thought it was a hardware issue, however when i verified the same in 4.3 (569) rom it was perfectly stable. gyrocope would move according the position of the phone. This is where i could conclude that this was a software issue.
And now in 230 (4.4) this problem still exist.
I even verified it with CM 11 ROMS. i didnt have any problem in gyroscope.
Now, is there a way to fix this. as per one of the post this was a kernel problem. if this is a kernel problem what are the things that are needed to fix this. as in any libs or files that may be able to fix this issue. please comment below.
Can the files from CM rom be used to fix this issue?
Please verifiy the same in Xperia Z. you can test it in service menu. gyroscope- if its stable when the phone is stable- you have nothing to worry
Note: i have done PCC repair like so many time so it doesnt really wont. so suggest something else.
Anyone Tested??? Please let me know

yes do you see a rubik cube like image which should move only when the phone moves. if that happens, yo phone has no problem. if that moves even when the phone is in stable position then yo phone has the problem i mentioned.

What might be the problem here.. I mean it works perfectly well in CM 11 and all the roms prior to 101. im all out of options here
I have no ideas, to be honest. It seems software related if it works for you in earlier roms, but others here are having no problems running the same software version as you. It may be down to a driver supplied by Qualcomm, but it doesn't seem as simple as that.

if its the driver problem is it possible to extract the same from earlier roms so that i can use it in Kitkat. currently im on 569. If so what are the files that needs to be extracted.

build7 always brick my phone
hi
i'm trying to install build 7.
My phone has locked bootloader. Installed version is #build6.
I have used philz recovery to flash build 7. To flash #build7 takes 2 minutes long.
After flashing, i reboot the phone using reset recovery option of philz.
Phone gets stuck, black screen, without sony logo, and i have to reflash to .207 stock rom using flashtool.
What am i doing wrong?
thanks in advance.

Right. Got me confused there, as I was already pretty sure kernels are just for UBL. Why use the LBL version of CM11 on UBL then?

I guess it just happens sometimes. When I first flashed build #6 with twrp, everything went well, but something must have got corrupted along the way as the phone was stuck on Sony logo, and the screen just went gradually from orange tint to black from there on with continuous reboot loop. Fresh install helped though. And I've done everything the same.
Go back to stock,root, install recoveries, wipe cache, dalvik and system and install build #7. Should work just fine.
P. S. Another question from me, maybe not entirely related to only this ROM, but to flashing ROMs while using link2SD in general, as I'm sure some of you guys are using it. Is there any way to avoid some apps getting totally borked after each update? I know you need to recreate the mount scripts after flashing, but it just doesn't work for select apps each time, and I have to go through a tedious process of unlinking each one that is screwed, rebooting, and relinking. It's getting annoying with weekly updates (Thumbs up MRSteve <3).

Not sure if it's an issue with the nightly build you were working with this time, or something's actually wrong with build #7, but I don't seem to be able to install any CM Theme. Each and every one of them seems to install just fine, only to spit out "Failed to install <appname>" notification after a minute.
Anyone having this problem aswell?

Right. Got me confused there, as I was already pretty sure kernels are just for UBL. Why use the LBL version of CM11 on UBL then?

Well maybe he loves weeklies better than the normal daily nightlies.
This ROM or CM11 Official ?
Wich is better ? Keep my bootloader locked and use that ROM or unlock my bootloader and flash the latest CM11 Official Snapshot (M11) ? Few months, i flashed CM11 for locked bootloader and I had lot of anoying bugs/freezes. Can I expect better with that ROM ?
Thank's and sorry for my bad english.
This ROM is completely stable, and has no apparent bugs whatsoever. The only thing I noticed is worse than stock is the battery life.

Nope, I only use 4.7 Google Toolchain. I thought about building with Linaro, but it just doesn't seem to be worth it(I have a life, you know, and buildijng with Linaro + O3 can take a long time )

Okay. But I think using -o3 optimization ROM will be very fast
Help help help help, is my xperia sp dead?
Please i need imediate help!
I had this buid for a month and it worked flawlesly, but today i got an idea to install cm11 m11 update that was constantly bothering me in notifications center. I downloaded it and flashed it with recovery but then a stop. My screen wont turn on and there is no boot animation. When i hold power button i only get a slight vibration and then nothing, just black screen. I tried pushing that small orange button with pencil but nothing happens. Only my green led indicator shows up when the phone is plugged in wall and i hold volume down button. Please help, what should i do as my xperia sp is indespensable for me because i live in dormitory 200 kilometers from my home town. Please

Why on earth did you do that!? You'll need a computer with you. You will sadly however, have to start from the beginning. Get a stock ROM .ftf, flash it via Flashtool, then start over (root, install CWM, flash CM11 weekly build by MrSteve555)
The reason why your phone is bricked is because you have flashed a ROM for unlocked bootloaders (this being said is the M11 that you updated your phone). Your device does not have an unlocked bootloader. It does not start up due to the kernel installed on your phone is not stock (cyanogenmod's official kernel of course). On locked bootloaders, using a custom kernel is impossible and will cause bricks.

I haven't used Official CM11 on my SP, as my bootloader is locked, so it's not me to ask. For me, the phones eats through battery really fast, with screen on, it's like 10 minutes for 1%. Definetely not a days worth of use when gaming.
Still not able to install themes in build 8
