Version 3.6.0 was released to Google Play on June 12. It adds new margin and line spacing controls but on my KF (rooted, and running CM9 Vanilla ROM) the bottom row jump links (Previous Article -- All Articles -- Next Article) do not work.

I reinstalled version 3.5 over 3.6 and discovered that the margin and line spacing changes made in version 3.6 were retained! The bottom row jump links do work.

Thus, before upgrading to version 3.6.0 I suggest:

1. Keep a copy of the apk of version 3.5; I put mine in my sdcard/download folder.

2. Install version 3.6.0 from Google Play. Make your margin and line spacing changes.

3. If the bottom row jump links work for you, OK. If not, install 3.5 over 3.6.

Note that if you want to change your margins and line spacing, you will have install version 3.6.

Hi, first sorry for my english, I hope that it will be clear enough to understand my problem...

My Xperia Ray, updated to ICS, display a black screen (with backlight) when waking up after a stand by. I have to wait for undertermined time to have something on the screen, sometimes I remove the battery and boot the phone to be able to use it.

I updated it to last 4.0.4 ICS thinking it will resolve the issue, but it has not.

I can still use the phone when connected to MyPhone Explorer with the phone keypad, while the mobile's screen is black the MPE windows shows me the "normal" mobile screen. Everythings else works normally.

I'm afraid to give it to customer service, it was a SFR branded phone and I flashed it with a generic firmware.

Locked bootloader, sfr gave me unlock code for sim cards, lost my root with last upadte too.

Any help ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
Did it also occur on Gingerbread firmware?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] babylonbwoy:
Didn't try with GB, it happened when on ICS .562, SEUS update to .431 didn't fix the problem.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Sirence:
I have the same problem with my Xperia Ray.

It already happened on GB and now also on ICS.

The screen stays black if you try to wake it up after standby (doesn't matter if power button or home button ).

This happens around 80% of the time.

The only things that help are: Waiting a few minutes, taking out the battery, or hitting the power button like crazy and eventually the screen will show up again after around 10 times on and off.

I brought my phone to the service center of the shop 3 times and every time they tell me they won't repair or switch it because the hardware looked fine in their opinion (they don't switch it on there, the one time I showed them the switched on phone with the error, they told me they could see the problem but as long as nothing inside is broken 'it's not their problem' :( . I told my lawyer and now he is trying to get me a replace phone.

The problem even comes right after you factory reset so I don't think it's an app.

It happens without the sd card in.

I had an different homescreen launcher installed around the time it first happened, but I removed it and it still happened and I factory reseted and it still happened. So I think it has nothing to do with that?

I tried software repair with the SE Update Service and it told me everything was alright.

Does someone around here have an idea what could be the cause?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] babylonbwoy:
I brought it to SFR customer service (here in france) 2 time, the 2 time they just downgrade it to GB, diagnostic was "update problem". They didn't take in consideration what I told them.

One of the shop employee told me that the third time normally they have to replace it by another one. If they don't want to change it I think I'll mess up their shop...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ManthanRB:
This even happens on Xperia Mini

when ever i try to wake it up by pressing Home button or Power button

it takes about 3-5 seconds to wakeup

it should be instant isn't it?:(

I also experienced 2 times that even pressing

all the buttons doesn't wakes up the screen

but only back light, then i have to restart the

phone by removing the battery.:crying:

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] HPJun:
I turned the sound for messages and phone calls back on. On 'silent' the phone just vibrated.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] babylonbwoy:
Finally I brought my Xperia Ray to the shop where I got it for the third time.

I bought it 159 Euros in december 2011 (plus Sony gave me 50E back) and they refunded 270 Euro in november 2012 !

Not exactly a refund because I had to choose another mobile, so I took the Xperia T which was 430euro, so I had to pay 160 E for the XT.

Good deal for replacement of a one year old mobile ! Only problem is that I can't unlock the BL.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] justmpm:
It is a strange hardware problem since the screen can eventually be turned back on, so maybe it is something in the firmware that is screwed up and doesn't get completely fixed by SUS. If I were you guys I would try this fix: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1492805

It may not work, but it is better than throwing your Ray in the trash.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] dimitars84:
I have the same problem. My phone (xperia ray) after standby or after reboot has black screen with backlight. At first waiting for couple of seconds and trying to wakelock would solve the problem, after few weeks to wake up my phone I needed it to reboot (pulling out the battery). Now I need few reboots to start the device with screen on.

I found workarounds like Llama combined with Nightclock (both from Google Play) for the screen never goes off, but this eats battery and also sometimes the screen would go off. I don't believe its a hardware problem because with this workaround the phone is usable few days (until Llama delay the "events").

Found a way to make a logcat from starting the device. Two are for unsuccessful startups (black screen with backlight) and one for successful (screen on).

I think the problem is in the kernel for not loading drivers, but someone who knows to read logcat will tell us/me for sure. I can't flash new kernel because the phone is with Bootloader locked (Bootloader unlock allowed: NO).

Kernel version is 2.6.32.9-perf

Stock Rom 4.1.B.0.587

rooted

PS. Sorry for my english its not my native language. ;)

Just to add one or two more informations: even with black screen and backlight the phone is usable, like I can answer on calls, it vibrates when I slide to unlock... I also thought the problem is in proximity sensor, but if it was that case the touchscreen would be locked.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] guerrierodipace:
If you fully discharge the battery and after switch on,it start normally?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] dimitars84:
I never tried full discharge of battery. I will try that and post the result.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] dimitars84:
I tried to discharge the battery and after that to plug in to the wall charger, the result is like always, black screen with backlight even where it has to be animation of charging battery (phone turned off).

Cant you tell me about your SD card?

I had a few problems with ICS, at first I though it was software and hardware related but isn't.

If you have your SD card full of media (videos, pics, photos, music, a lot of applications) my phone froze on a Class 2 4GB sd card.

On a class 4 32GB card i got this problem, screen won't turn on until power button get pressed a lot of times, try to do a full format to your SD card.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] dimitars84:
I have Class 2 4gb sd card,

-formated it,

-factory reset from the phone,

-upgrade with seus

-downgrade to android 2.3.4

-in the end I tried without sd card

on every step I had the same problem, black screen with back light.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] AeonWorld:
My Xperia Pro have the same issue . Like when unlock , no screen (black) ,

The issue I found out is having something to do with my back cover

ie. If I remove the cover and reboot , and then unlock /lock , no problem, As soon as i put the back cover , it unlocks with black screen , I was sure no kernel or fw was the reason , as i have been through diff kernels and fws /roms without an issue like this , and as soon as the black screen shows and you try to restart it wont even show the logo , so i was damn sure ,its no kernel issue , Please check this method , i will try to find the exact issue why the back cover is making this.

Update: Found out that the push made by back cover with the battery (which basically may be jamming the strip or something inside) is making the problem , It may have more to it than this ,anyway this is my phone's problem
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] dimitars84:
Sorry for late reply. Before I test your solution I was messing around with build.prop, then I tried to restart the phone and at first still got the blackscreen with backlight. i tried your solution (the battery not to be pressed too much) and I got less blackscreen (for example before was 1 from 10 tries the phone will bootup with screen, but now every second try).

But because I messed up build.prop, the phone went to bootloop and the only solution was to flash stock firmware from flashtool. After that i tried again your solution (on a stock firmware, not rooted, no recovery) the problem was like before or maybe worse (1 from 20 tries).

I really think its a software problem, because on GB when I got the phone there were no SoD (Sleep of Death - I think this is it,it has similar problems like my device, except for unexpected blackscreen, mine blackscreen is when come out from deep sleep or from bootup/restart). Many of their solutions was install different bootloader or replace the device. I can't replace it because the warranty is over, and I can't install different bootloader because is locked, and from my country there is no way to pay for wotan server to unlock it (no paypal in our country). That's way I ask if someone has same problem does it solves reinstalling bootloader.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] dimitars84:

Hi,

I've had this problem for a few months now, and what's interesting is that i figured the black screen problem happens only in cold weather ( I live in a cold city), if i'm on my car and it's sunny outside, the phone works perfect, my problem is that i'm usually at the office and the phone is over the desk freezing... lol...

My solution? Just try to keep the phone warm all the time! :)

Xperia z1 standby wake up delay

Someone mentioned taking the phone off silent. I did this and the phone went back to normal, even when I returned the phone back to silent. Definitely plan to look further into this.

My problem is not wake up delay, its not waking the screen at all (black screen with backlight). The touch is working, but I can't see anything.

I had it connected with USB to PC (don't remember the app), on my PC showed the screen is ok.

I think the problem is in motherboard, it has to be replaced, but if you find one, it will costs more than the phone.

Its a hardware problem in the screen parts, when phone is warm (pocket) or even warmer, heavy use ore loading the problem is bigger

When the phone is "cold" moastly once or twice a push and the screen is back, getting anothe phone this week, so this one i will take apart to see if the problem can be solved wihtout spare parts, post it but i'm bussy whit work so please be patient

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] k.arunmuthukumar:
its related to the software problem

im using xperia ray, im using this phone for passed 3 years ,i found this problem after flashing custom rom ,changing the roms often,

if the phones bootloader is unlocked and tried different roms . this problem is there for most of the phone with less ram space.

For the phones with screenblack out problem there is a problem in flashing custom rom- while entering into to recovery menu the screen in black but everything is working, may be this can be solved by plugging in wall charger.

For my phone the problem is solved by reducing the usage of ram and unlocking the phone by pressing HOME buttom.
