[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solidsnake:
hey,

I have an xperia black on the latest official rom. r3a (something)

just a few hours ago the phone was automatically switched off,

it was fully charged and it just went blank.

i tried switching it back on but no luck.

just one time it was powered on and was stuck at the XPERIA screen for 3-4 minutes and then again went blank.

when i connect to pc , my pc says usb device not recognized and keeps detecting my device.

now i have connected the phone to the wall and the red power led blinks after 20 seconds. when i press the power button the side leds dont blink or respond, just the top one blinks after 20 sec. the battery is cold.

i tried reinserting the battery alot of times and then put it back to chg for 30 mins, still no luck.

i searched alot but didnt find a solution. please help

hehe it is an expensive buy........
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] comeradealexi:
charge the battery using wall charger for the whole day and then turn it on - your battery must have died compleatly somehow and this happens to loads of people if the charge gets too low
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solidsnake:
but my phone was fully charged, i chgd it full an hour ago?

how come it drained in minutes?

and can u please tell me the thing with the red light? top led
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] comeradealexi:
i think its the same as the red light flash at the side because when this happened to me the same happened.

Is it an official battery that came with the x1?

and is it the official sony ericcson charger that was provided
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solidsnake:
yes all original
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] comeradealexi:
i'd just leave it plugged in for a whole day and then see
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solidsnake:
alright thanks

lets see
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solidsnake:
hi there

i left it to chg for the whole night

aroung 12 hours

but no luck, still the same situation......

please help

PS!!

there is one change i have noticed, now the red led under the power button is on constantly when the cgrger is plugged in....

and it goes off after 10 mins
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solidsnake:
someone please help
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] comeradealexi:
hmm i guess you could try calling sony and see what they say but they might not be that usefull, i dont really know what to suggest since charging through the wall for ages usually fixes the problem :S

any one else have any ideas?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solidsnake:
the red light under the power button is now constantly on,

what should i do now?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solidsnake:
anyone help please???
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solidsnake:
no one ever experienced the same problem???
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpijper:
No I haven't. But if this happened to me, I would be back at the place where I bought it in no time!

See if you can use someone else's battery to see if the X1 still works with that. This sounds like a seriously dead battery which needs to be replaced.

Good luck!
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orelsi:
Calm down. Most people visit the forume once a day or less. You can't expect them to answer right away.

Your problem afaik is that the phone can't detect the battery. Read this and tell us if it helped you.

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solidsnake:
thanks for the reply

i have already done everthing mentioned in that forum, but no luck

maybe it is a case of dead battery....

my question is , can the battery be dead instantly, because it was fully chged and suddenly it was all blank.?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orelsi:
I don't think that is possible. It probably is a hardware fault in the phone itself. Maybe a connector or something burned itself out. Unfortunatelly that can be fixed only by professionals.

My advice is to take the battery out for a couple of hours, then put it back and let it charge. If there is no response after the charging go to a repair shop :(.

Keep us informed on how it goes :).
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solidsnake:
well i went to the company today, the one who deals with the warranty and they refused to take the phone under warranty saying that the phone looks drop dead, ( i have quite a few of them scrathes on the back)

i dont know how he asumed that it has been dropped, anyhow i was disappointed and took it to a local repair shop and they checked it with another battery and still no luck so they said they will have to flash the phone and it will be ok.

BUT!!!

when i came home i just blew on the battery terminal on the phone and inserted the battery and the phone switched on YESSSS!!!, but after some time it was halt again and was switched off, now sometimes it comes on and sometimes it doesnt, when ever i blow on the terminals it comes on otherwise it wont.

can it be the case of moisture inside the phone?

because the day it faulted, that day i was sweating and i had the phone in may pocket.

if yes please whats the solution.?

thanks in advance
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solidsnake:
ps

the phone is also very slow to boot

the screen is also flicking a little
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ganondolf:
the red light under the power button is telling u that the battery has run out. if u get it with a fully charged battery it either means the battery is dead (in the sense that if will never charge or hold its charge etc) or the handset is buggered. best bet is to phone SE and get the phone fixed or battery replace (u will probably have to send the phone and battery to repair but SE might have a way to test if its the battery or phone).

also there may be a prob with the connection from the handset to the battery.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WhyBe:
Ummm...send it back? :confused:
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmsc:
Hi,

what about the water-sensor? It's white or red? There is one at the battery and one in the phone.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solidsnake:
you are absolutely right,

although i figured it out that the phone got wet and i dried it for a couple of days and yayyyy

gr8 news its up and running

initially the camera and the volume keys were not working then i dried the phone with a hair dryer (i dont know if it was a wise thing to do but i was desparate), but it did no harm.

any further suggestions?????

@DMSC

thanks for pointing that out

i didnt know that xperia had a water sensor, thumbs up on that.

and yes it is red!!!!!

so definitely a case of water.....

thankyou everybody for helping out

cheers
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] comeradealexi:
since its red i think it may mean ur warranty has gone or something cause now they will know :S

still glad u got it working :D
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jvs60:
My phone is doing the exact same thing, but I didn't get it wet. It was connected to the wall charger last week and when i took it off and tried to wake it up it wouldn't wake. I removed the battery and put it back in and pressed the power button, it would give the normal short vibration and nothing else. It will not power on. I have 2 batteries, so i put in the other fully charged one and still nothing. the side LED's weren't even blinking. The power button red light came on a couple of times, but nothing else. 2 days later, after fiddling around with it, the side led indicators were blinking and it charged and powered on. The thing is, it happened again yesterday and has been dead ever since. I've switched batteries and changed chargers, still nothing.

I just moved and don't have my intrnet set up yet and I was wondering. Can I download the hero I want via my g1, wich ive already done, and then just wipe my ext and install my hero I just downloaded
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stefan.buddle:
Yeah you can download the roms via your data plan either 3G or EDGE but i wouldnt reccommend doing it via EDGE

yes you can wipe your ext2/3/4 partition and then run the update from your fat32 partition

make sure you already have the correct Radio and SPL flashed and if you dont remember to flash the RADIO then the SPL
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoshHart:
and you'll need to use ASTRO to rename it update.zip
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amack10:
Well Ive been flashing heros for a wile now as the new ones come out so I'm pretty sure my radio and stuff is to date. Do I need to rename it update or can't I just push flash any zip cuz I have cyan 1.4 rcovery image. Thanks for the help guys
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david1171:
Since you have the cyanogen's 1.4 reocvery you don't have to rename it. Just if its in the downloads folder of your sdcard you can use astro to move it to the root of your sdcard
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] i<3myphone:
I have now lost both of the stylus(es) that came with the phone. I suppose they come out when I pull the phone out of my case. :( Anyone else have this problem? I got a universal pouch and the phone was in there pretty snug. Enough so that it would not come out easily.

Now I have no stylus and am afraid to replace it for fear of it happening again. Is this common or am I doing something wrong??
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] orb3000:
What version of TP2 do you have?

I heard something similar regarding the american versions, as they do not have the magnetic stuff as the original Europe version.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] kourampies:
What magnetic stylus? European unbranded WWE version doesnt have a magnetic stylus.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] kitchencop:
i have a tmo tp2 and unless you have a little bit of finger nail its flipping hard to get the stylus out
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] somethingdope:
none of the TP2s have a magnetic stylus

Does anyone know where I can get more stylus pens from for T-mobile? so far I ordered from 2 different dealers on ebay and got the wrong ones...Tj
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Arcarsenal:
It's looking to be quite the pain tracking down any quality T-Mobile TP2 accessories and OEM stuff since our version is unique compared to all the others. Things like the stylus, screen protectors, cradles, cases, etc. all need to be designed slightly differently for us and it seems like manufacturers are not very eager to do so at the moment. Hopefully the launching of Sprint and ATT TP2s will spur them on.

Sorry this doesn't answer your question, but know that I share your frustration!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jhanson:
I have no idea why they got rid of the magnetic stylus, which I thought was a fantastic feature. But I do have a trick for keeping them in, I used it on my mogul. Just bend the stylus a bit, it still feels straight in the hand, but it will say in much much better.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] TrekkerJmm:
Thanks. I got my screen protector (best I have seen yet, guaranteed for life) from "www.clearprotector.com" and its not a regular plastic one. They have to be soaked in water & soap b4 they get put on if this helps at all and the cover I got from here> "http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150365816665&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT" its a little pricey but IMHO its worth it...Tj
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] i<3myphone:
My stylus (neither one) was magnetic. One poster says to bend it??? Does it still go in?? I dont quite follow.

Does anyone else have the smae problem I do ? Losing the stylus when pulling out from the case? Any other ideas to keep it in better? Thanks.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] shunsai:
maybe it's not the stylus itself, but i can feel mine magnetically click into place when i insert the stylus. mine is the unbranded, asian version.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jhanson:
If you bend it just a very slight amount, it still goes in fine and even looks straight, it just fits tighter in its cavity. Just put the stylus between your thumbs and push a very slight amount. Then put it back in the phone and see if its more difficult to pull out. If not, pull it back out and push a little harder with your thumbs. Lather, rinse, repeat until satisfied with the fit.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] khaytsus:
Unless it pulls itself into place when you're close to inserting it, it's not magnetic.. Just friction.

Does anyone know how to unlock the Tmobile touch pro 2 for use with cingular??
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] iseedeadpeople:
for now 2 options:

1. call t-mobile for unlock code for your overseas trip.

2. don't be cheap, unlock service is $15 (at leaset that's how much I spent)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] testaccount:
i called tmobile and the emailed me the code in less than 24 hours.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] briols6:
Anychance you could post a link to the 15 dollar unlock service plz
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] bimori:
You are very Funny

1. I'm not with T-mobile

2. I asked for a way to unlock...I didn't say I wasn't willing to pay

FYI, you haven't answered the question. If know a website that can unlock the phone, then post it. If not just move on!!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] xnifex:
wow dude, way to be an a**hole. he did answer. those are the only 2 options. search

anyway, why do you want to unlock for AT&T/Cingular anyway? you can't even use the 3G since Tmobile uses different 3G bands.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] briols6:
Actually i have searched, and the ones I've found are alot more than 15 dollars, so I figured if someone knew of a legit outfit that charges 15 bucks it would be a good share. I just dont want to be scamed.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] leanne:
Do a search on ebay. under 15.00 it worked for me and I"m on Telus.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] hisandherturbo:
Call either the "new" phone company or the old one......... like mentioned earlier and they will give you the code for free. It's not being cheap, it's called getting it from the right person..........
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] briols6:
Hey thanks, I'll try ebay, I called T-mobile US but they wont give you the code until you have had the phone for 90 days. Its BS but they wont budge.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ruinertt:
Why would you want to run it with Cingular? I mean, what's the point of having a Touch Pro2 if you don't have access to 3G/High Speed data?

Running my Touch Pro2 on EDGE would just piss me off if I was forced to do so all of the time.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ai6908:
I got the touch pro 2 from ebay, unlocked it from ebay too for 13 bucks, and works great.

But as somebody else said, it does not work with AT&T 3G, so I am pissed now! Not sure if I want to sell it, or just use with Edge network!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] bigdee:
Not true called t mobile (8-12) as i got my phone at store had unlock code on less then 48 hr
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] SSoonr:
I also called tmobile for the unlock code. 48 hours it was in my email inbox.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Nandos:
bigdee, Ssoonr:

Did you guys get the actual instructions emailed along with the code? Seems T-Mobile online are not as forthcoming with the code. I got an email telling me they sent my info directly to HTC requesting my code and that I would get an answer within 14 days. So far no code.

Did you call the local store or the toll free number online?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] testaccount:
call the customer service at 611
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Nandos:
I live in Germany, so I ordered mine with my TMOB account in the states. 611 won't work here, so I ended up calling their service center to order the phone, and they gave me the number to call for the sim unlock. Saw on another thread a sample of the unlock letter sent. I guess I will wait a couple more days since my phone is still in the mail and due this week. Hate to have to run a ROM flash before I get to play with this thing. Worked it out with the TMOB sales folks that I could get the code when they had a serial number for my phone, but still having to wait up to two weeks seems inconsistent compared to other folks' experiences.

Now that I mull this over - I'm gonna call them and ask for a faster unlock since other folks are getting the same. Thanks!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Nandos:
Well that was about as effective as a monkey fraking a football! Customer service is USELESS and has no method of contacting the Sim Unlock Department. Said to call back when I have the phone in hand, then they can possibly expedite the unlock code process.

Frustrating, but at least I know I can spend the ten bucks on cellunlock.net if they dork me around too long. =)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] testaccount:
they usually say 48 hours or more so you don't bug them every 5 minutes, you get it usually in a day.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sunnyrain2:
You have to wait 14 days from the purchase date to have the phone unlock.No exceptions!!!(because of TMo 14 day return policy).

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] NICOBJJ:
it is possible some how to enable/disable vibration on start up, when the sistem is booting, that vibration consumes battery i think, if its needed to soft reset some times...:D

any idea??
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] tnyynt:
For sure battery drainage is neglectable, unless you soft reset your device every minute. And no, it can not be disabled.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ASK768:
yup, that short vibration will not affect boot times considerably. You may find that your battery % jumps up or down. this is the effect of the device being off and the battery being calibrated. it would then show your battery status accurately.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] NICOBJJ:
ok thanks then!:D

To be honest I don't think that the vibrator uses that much power, I have vibration feedback turned on in my HD. The battery does last long...

I've just noticed a very strange thing...I've flashed an original T-mobile rom on my MDA Vario III, and after installing it, I've just tried to run q3ce and it can run, without installing any d3d driver.Slow and unstable. I thought, that maybe its a kind of ghost-effect, so I reflashed the original shipped rom, and did the hole procedure with hard resetting few times, and after that reinstalled the last romeos 6.1 rom, and the ghost effect is still there. The problem is, that I cant intsall any d3d driver...ok, I can, but with no effect, I cant run the test programs given with the HTC-CA drivers. Could someone help me how to fix this??

Run NoData software and prevent the use of the Internet. Simple as that.

is there any way to turn off edge browsing on the stock phone with out dling a new software?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] tracksuit:
i dont think there is a proper solution without using software such as nodata. disabling it in the phone settings can be overridden by some software i think.

nodata is a very compact and simple program, free too. just has a list of your connections and you can toggle them between enabled and disabled.

ive used it since i first got my td2 and have never had the slightest problem with it

Hi Guys,

I have a problem with the S2U2 software. When it is enabled the "turn face down to mute" function on my Touch Pro 2 doesn't work anymore. When I deactivate S2U2 it works fine. The muting function is enabled in the registry and I have tried the different options for receiving calls in S2U2. I have to add that I don't have the original HTC TP2 but the T-Mobile Vario V. Perhaps someone has experienced the same problem and found a solution or a general solution for the problem.

I have recently bought the HTC Touch 3g (codename Jade) as I used to have the HTC touch and I wanted inbuilt GPS and the 3G speed internet. I bought a second hand phone off ebay and while all the features work fine, I have noticed that it doesnt pick up a 3g connection! It connects to the net but only using GPRS and/or EDGE which is the same as my old phone, the same old slow speed!! I took it to my local ORANGE UK shop where some dumb blonde pressed a few buttons on it and told me it was the phones fault.

Please help! I don't really want to take her word for it.

Any help would be really really appreciated!!

Is it possible that if this is a hardware error then JUST THE 3G part doesnt work?
[Touch 3G General] MvBoe:
In WM 6.1 there are options to deactivate 3G (Settings/Phone/Band and Settings/Advanced Settings/HSDPA - all translated from German). Probably in WM 6.5 there is something similar and perhaps not activated.

I do not think that only 3G-hardware does not work without any other problems.

Do you think if I took it to a hardware shop they would be able to confirm? I flashed it back to original rom last night and its still no use. Checked the registry settings too.
