It's up to you if you want to try it, I've been struggling for 3 months with my phone and I was like "Heck if I am to send it to SE for repairs anyway and pay for it, I might as well try this.."

Good thing I tried it. I had three instances where it sometimes overheated and the softkeys didn't act up or anything. Completely fixed. Even after restoring stock ROM using flashtool, even if it sometimes overheat whilst attached to the USB cable, the softkeys would never act up anymore.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] pingulii:
its true but my question is here:

if in some ways this method will not fix my phone, what will happen to it? I mean is this method dangerous or risky?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Xaeons:
Kusa123 did say try at your own risk, problem is, there is only a few feedback from people who have tried it.

We cannot say what may happen to the unit if it didn't fix the problem, only feedback we received that it didn't work is from skritikos (see his last post above)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] pingulii:
so if it won't work , is it possible to any other new problem happen?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] davidzam:
I don't think so, try if nothing change an you don't feel comfortable with the modification, you can always "repair" using Pc Companion. Tomorrow I'll post my firm I have to do some more testing, so far so good though. :p

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] davidzam:
This is my signature

I used the script under the the stock firmware and stock kernel. Did a test used the phone as WiFi hotspot (that way the phone gets very hot and the problem appears) and everything went fine, also did some multitasking and put the phone under the Sun, no problem either.

Then root the phone, installed cwr, flash kernel, did a very hard test... (believe me HARD)

NO OVERHEATING PROBLEM ANYMORE.

But I have a question,

¿Will this modifications stick?

I'm waiting the ice cream from SE (Ill use wotan, Pc Companion is not an option for me anymore, unlocked bootloader)

Thanks to Gustavo and to the creators of this post an solutions for all your help, specially you kusa123, you are a genius.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Guna.gk:
Hi…All..

You can fix your overheat/touch screen problem with following producer.

It seems cyttsp_fwloader has auto-calibration itself, so I poked the file and finally my phone is fixed now. Hopefully anyone who has the issue could use this method, too.

1.	You have to root your mobile (if not rooted earlier) with this file download

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=841876&d=1325678726

Before u Root:

(1) Make sure u have installed adb drivers for ur device

(2) Enable "USB DEBUGGING" from (Menu\Settings\Applications\Development)

(3) Enable "UNKNOWN SOURCES" from (Menu\Settings\Applications)

(4) [OPTIONAL] increase screen timeout to 10 minutes

(5) Connect USB cable to PHONE and then connect to PC

(6) Skip "PC Companion Software" prompt on device

CONFIRM ALL THE ABOVE THEN

2.	You have to unzip the file and RUN the file of “runme.bat”. (It will take few mints then your phone will restart and now your phone rooted).

3.	This script is written by GScript Lite, or maybe you could use this as a shell script. In both cases. You can free download those applications from your android market itself.

Code:

dev=/sys/devices/platform/spi_qsd.0/spi0.0

fw=touch_smultron_sony.hex

cyttsp_fwloader -dev $dev -fw /system/etc/firmware/$fw -verify_only

sleep 5

reboot -p

4.	Your phone will shutdown by running this script, and after powering-on, your phone should be fixed.

Note: I don't have any responsible for this script, so use at your own risk!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Namidu:
Do this on YourOwnRisk!!!

# Your Phone's bootloder must be unlocked (click hire to do it)

1. flash KRsH Kernel using flashtool (use volume down key to access Flashmod)

2. download Gscript on Android market and copy paste fallowing script and run it

after reboot say Goodbye to Pain in the A**!!!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Xaeons:
@Namidu

Must the bootloader be unlocked and a custom kernel (pre-rooted) flashed? Coz if it is root that's only needed, isn't there a procedure to root without unlocking the bootloader?

I'm saying this because there might be a better way to root than unlocking the bootloader (I haven't tried it though) as it has caused me a great deal of frustration from the SE Service Center in my country (unlocked bootloader = no DRM = spent over 2 hrs waiting for calibration fix that didn't go through because SE's calibration fix (may or may not) require DRM checking)

Also, crediting to the original post where the script originated would also be helpful. Give credit to the person who helped us fix our phones without us spending money sending to Level3 support just because of a failed calibration fix (or spending money in general going to SE Service Center and getting a calibration fix)..

Again, thanks to Kusa123, you've saved me a great deal of time and money on a phone that I was on the verge of giving up on (heck, money doesn't grow on trees, and this unit doesn't generally come cheap) :p
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] adimcx:
Thank you Kusa123!! Your script has worked just great on my ST15i! ;)

When i have used your repair method my phone was bootloader unlocked, runing android version 2.3.4, firmware 4.0.2.A.0.61 (for S51SE model, flashed using wotan server), using KRsH Kernel and rooted using DooMLoRD method.

Now everything it works just fine, even after a ClockworkMod restore the phone doesn't have this capacitive buttons problem anymore.

Thanks again for sharing this fix! Best wishes!!

I tried using the Gscript on my ST15i, rooted but locked bootloader, and it definitely fixed the problem. I don't you have to unlock the bootloader, just a rooted phone will do.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] papul:
There is indeed a way to safely and easily root without unlocking the bootloader at all. It's the doomlord script.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] davidzam:
Yes and to apply this script is not necessary to unlock the bootloader.

"(1) Make sure u have installed adb drivers for ur device"

Please forgive my stupidity, where are they and how do I do please, thanks:confused:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] adimcx:
This are the adb drivers that have worked for my ST15i.

Just extract the archive on your computer and install them when your phone it's connected and is asking for drivers (or using the Device Manager from the Windows).
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] gsymia:
Hi everyone! I have the problem with the capasitive buttons.. If this script doesn't work for me can i remove it? I don't know a lot of things from the android...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] krisbiker2:
hi, done this, fone rebooted, which I assume means script ran ok, doesnt seem to have helped, maybe now running a bit hotter b4 the problem occurs(was 34/5deg, now approx 37deg)- are there any adjustments in values that may improve this more please? thanks
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] adimcx:
@krisbiker2: I'm sorry to hear that...

For my ST15i the Kusa123's script made a miracle. To make sure I won't get anymore that annoying malfunction of the capacitive buttons, I have test it by overheating it using a hairdryer. Everything it works just perfect, even if the temperature has risen up to 45 Celsius degrees.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] krisbiker2:
Good to hear that, I seem to be unlucky here, love the fone so I hope I can get fixed- maybe SE only option? Will they honor warrenty on rooted fone? remember I only rooted to try and fix their f***up!!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] adimcx:
Even without the warranty, it's just a small fee to be repaired by SE (I didn't do it because the nearest SE center it was at 500 km and it was too much truble for me). But I like this phone, so untill this fix I have using it by disabling the capacitive buttons and using a virtual key emulator. Best wishes!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Xaeons:
The Gscript fix is for the malfunctioning softkeys, though my phone still overheat at times, I don't mind at all just as long as my capacitive buttons are okay..

If your issue is about the unit overheating then the script may not be the solution to your problem..

BTW, how did you root the phone? Depending on how you did it you can just unroot it..

Now, if you unlocked your bootloader prior to rooting, then you may have a problem with warranty issues..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] luimed:
A million thanks to Kusa123 and his script, it's so helpful. My Xperia Mini is working so well, finally I got rid of the annoying capacitive's buttons problem. As for the overheating problem, my Mini gets hot when I'm playing some games that demand high cpu usage, but it doesn't gets hotter than my SGS2 (I could fry an egg in that phone's screen after some time of gaming), so I consider it normal. Good luck with the script!!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] krisbiker2:
My problem is capacitive buttons- as far as I'm concerned, the fone can go super nova in the heat stakes, as long as it keeps working. I rooted using Doomlord,bootloader not touched
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Xaeons:
Weird, there are some people who have used the script with a locked bootloader and rooted phone, and the problem was fixed..

Can you detail the steps you took? Firmware/baseband version?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] stormings:
I'm so sorry if I out of topic.

I just wanna ask, can I use that script on my Mini Pro a.k.a SK17i ??

I've got a same problem here. :(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] metalrawk:
this is solution for capacitive button malfunctioning, not overheating, use it only if your menu and back buttons work crazy, otherwise not
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] davidzam:
Actually, "overheating problem" is the cause of the capactive buttons malfunction, that was my problem and this was my final and only fix. But I don't think this will work on Xperia Pro. This fix is only for the Xperia Mini.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] davidzam:
If the solution didn't work for you, unroot your phone and use pc companion to repair it and leave it as SE intended, you'll loose your warranty only if you unlock the bootloader. Apart from that you won't have any problem.

Thx from Italy

Thx very much for the fix

SE-Assistance 0- XDA 100

Well i've a Xperia Mini and for sure i had the problem, i found that the problem increase on battery low (i didn't see anyone find this relation)

I've update my Mini to .62 last week coz i found the problem and i thought that SE with .62 fix the problem but i found it again.

So i start the search and i found this fix but i have to root and .62 cannot be rooted ..damn .. :confused:

I downgrade with Wolkan (not for people with heart problem, first time my phone tecnically die :eek: then i reflash and it worked but i watch the clock and it was 03.00 AM)

I root with doom and it was really easy with .bat :)

I check with rootchecker and the phone result rooted :)

I copy script in gscript lite, run this and the phone shout down :rolleyes:

I pray another time (first time was with Wolkan) :rolleyes:

I poweron and do some test: NO MORE CRAZY TOUCHSCREEN ! :D

The best test is, IMHO, run Angry birds: after 5/6 minutes it usually start the crazy thing (in/out menu) and now it doesn't no more :D

Hope SE will use this script for a fast and official solution of the problem ;)

One question:

Now PC companion ask me if i wanna upgrade to .62

Is it possible without have the same CrazyTouchscreen problem?

PS

Sorry for bad English

I hope anyone understand
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] InfectiousWaste:
Hi bbarcode.

You can upgrade to .62 compilation with PC Companion without problem, the "crazy touchscreen" won't back. I had the same problem and fix my device with DoomLord's method, then i update to 4.0.2.A.0.62 compilation with SE PC Companion and my phone is OK :D
