[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tasaki:
Hi. The phone application was not functioning well and the F/C dialog showed up. I powered off the phone and from that point, the phone won't turn on.

The battery was fully charged before this happened.

When I press the power button, the phone vibrates for half a second, the screen brightens up but does not show anything but a black screen.

I removed SIM and SD cards, removed the battery and performed the above steps but nothing happened.

I also tried to put on the charger to see what's going on. Once I plug the charger, the phone's screen brightens but shows only blank (even without pressing the power button)

When connected to the charger, the green light for charging is on for some minutes, then goes off automatically.

I tried to connect it to the PC, and PC Companion finds the device as usually. It even shows the dialog on the pc screen to mount the device.

I tried a hard reset, but does not work

On some point, the sony logo appeared and then a dialog saying: "sorry process system is not responding". The first time I pressed Force Close and the phone turned off. Immediately after that, the phone turned on and showed the exact message. I pressed "Wait" but nothing happened in the next 15 minutes.

I called Sony's support center and they suggested a software update. Did the process exactly as it should, but again, even after the software update the screen shows nothing but black. It is all the time brightened for some reason.

I tried to turn off the phone for some time by removing the battery, but as soon as I put the battery back on, the phone's screen brightens and stays that way forever.

The phone was functioning perfectly up until this issue. The only application I had installed apart from some games, was AWDLauncher. On the screen I had only a TASK widget and a battery status widget.

The phone is 3 months old and has been always in perfect condition.

ANY help would be appreciated!!!!

Many Thanks

I tried the steps found in the link you gave me, but I couldn't go any further after step no (5) from the tutorial, as it would require to enable Debugging mode and I cannot access the OS (since the device won't turn on).

Is there a way to format all the contents of the device and have them replaced by running SEUS (as it always says that my device is up to date now)?

If not, use that.

Download it, follow the steps when it says you have the latest version, press "Install Anyway".

Hope this works.

Sounds like you broke your LCD screen somehow.

That would suck because I broke mine and it cost me $200 to fix.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tasaki:
Hi Hypercore.

Yes that could be the problem. The thing is that I always took rally good care of the phone, always carried in a leather pouch and never droped it. How sensitive is this lcd anyway?? Did you notice any cracks on your lcd or was the problem simillar to mine?

Thanks
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hypercore:
When you turn on the phone does the lcd backlight turn on?

If so, look for any faint lines of color (usually a hairline size). If you see any of those then your screen is cracked.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tasaki:
the backlight is on, but there are no lines of colour on the lcd screen.

another weird thing is that the green light on the top blinks one or two times every time i put on the battery. even if the phone is off, once I insert the battery turns on automatically after a couple of seconds.

Phones are very wierd pieces of technology. I once bricked my k610i and that's a phone that's supposed to be impossible to un-brick, but out of nowhere a month or so later i picked it up, hit power and it turned on perfectly. Made no sense at all, but it worked.

Taking the battery out for a long time probably took all the electrical charges from it (kind of like how a computer power supply / monitor can hold power charges) and reset your handset.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devtone:
Indeed. It could be a frozen chip, memory fault, power-regulator and so on.

After a looooot of time since my latest post, finally my Xperia came back to life. There was a battery failure which means the phone was ok all the time. Weird thing is that the led light showed that the battery was charging ok. I removed the battery and after a lot of time it is working ok again. This was really really odd.

FYI for anyone else that gets this issue.

I just had this for the past hour after trying to change my baseband....could not get it back for anything.

What I did finally try was run another baseband via flash tool, connected to usb and it started flashing....after flash phone powered on again...yeah I agree with everyone, that is freaking scary when it happens.

I have kinda the same thing, it drives me nuts!

1. Tried 5+ chargers including the original. Tried different batteries(mine works on other x10a's)

2. Whenever I'm on 1.6, the phone vibes and I get a "black screen" where the screen actualy lights up, but I can never see the SE logo or any other kind of sceen activity(no sign of broken pixels) and it could stall till the batterie drains. Other wierd thing is, when I update to any 2.X firmware via custom flashing or SE official update, Phone just vibes and never gets beyond that(no black screen)

Does anyone know what this could be, or the phone is garbage?

Thanks,

So, I just got a HTC HD2 and am trying to connect it to the PC. By the way, did the TMOUSA HD2 ever come with a cd?

I have a vista and tried to download the Activesync 4.5 but it won't allow as I am suppose to download Windows Mobile Device Center. So, I download WMDC and installed it. I plug in the phone and all I get is "USB Device Not Recognized" . PC doesn't detect it.

I have searched everywhere and tried everything but can't seem to get it going. I haven't anything solid to get it to work.

I tried:

-reinstalling the WMDC

-check and uncheck "Enable faster data sync"

Anybody have any idea? TIA
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fred_up:
Is the phone charging LED lighting up when connected?

Have you tried another USB cable and/or another computer?

Then you could boot the phone up in Bootloader Mode. It will say 'serial' at the bottom of the screen. Then plug in the USB cable. The 'serial' should change to 'USB'. Then this might indicate that your computer is viewing the device as a unknown device. This device can be removed and your phone, in normal mode, replugged in.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archer:
This may not help, but it's worth a try. Vista has a known issue where it just stops recognising USB devices, even basic ones. Plug your phone in via USB and then restart the computer. When it comes back on it may recognise the phone. If this works then it will be okay for a while at least, but you may have to do this again every now and then.

Vista's basically a bug-ridden bag of gash. If you can, upgrade to Windows 7.

Hope this helps mate.

I tried with a laptop with vista (WMDC) and a laptop with xp (activesync 4.5). The led charging light is on, so it is charging but for some reason device not recognized.

It sounds as though the USB controller in the phone is damaged. I had this problem with my HTC Diamond, and searched for ages trying to find a solution. I manged to flash it with a couple of times with different ROMs (from the internal memory via WiFi) - this did not solve the problem.

I am sure that a power surge from a car charger was the cause of the fault.

thanks,

but i have already tried all that.

today i called a phone repair shop and they told me that

this could be due to two reasons.

2. problem with an IC (?) of the circuit (guess the motherboard) - in which case

it is either not repairable or very expensive.

i ll keep posting as i go and visit the shop.

After waiting throughout september, in the hope that official Froyo update will be out, Today I installed the default kies available in my country (India)

The version was - 1.5.1.10074_45.

After done installing, kies prompted for available update. I have initiated the update, however, after sifting through forum, I am skeptical that it will work flawlessly.

So two queries.

a) How do I find out the direct download link for the latest kies version. So that if the update fails, I uninstall and install the latest stuff.

Currently I am seeing - Kies is updating to 1.5.3.10093.80.

b) Does this latest vesion of Kies means, that I will be able to update the firmware too (hopefully to Froyo).?

Living the life of cloud sync'in and storage :) I honestly beleive KIES is on par with Itunes, Truely evil p.o.s's for poor souls that don't know better. Thats just my 2c

And no I'm not running anything special, Just win 7 (32bit)

Also I noticed some things with my phone and windows/kies in general.

It seems when phone is in mount mode and hooked up to pc in Win7 , the phone kills all other high speed USB connections like external HDD's. Also noticed this on a HP work machine. It seems the phone does not play nice so that is my problem with KIES and flashing roms (win 7)in general. Its phone and USB drivers at fault here but the thing is that I've got the latest of everything. I norm use XP for flashing roms as its most stable.

No new phone firmware was miraculously available however - at least not for O2 UK contract users.

Checked again this morning 30 September - still no phone firmware update in spite of Samsung UK's Twitter messages saying Froyo would definitely be available at the end of September.
