[Q] Xperia mini pro freeze and reboot in games - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini

Hi all,
I have a mini pro (rooted + xrecovery + apps2sd) and got a problem the last few weeks.
While playing some games the phone after a while freezes for about 10 sec. and then reboots.
At first I thought it might be a problem with the stock 2gb sd card that came with the phone in combination with link2sd that I was using at that time so I decided to buy a new Toshiba 4gb class 4 sd card and use the xrecovery + apps2sd script.
The whole procedure went fine but the problem is still there.
To be more specific I am having this problem as I've noticed in some specific games
- "Drop" is freezing every time after two - three games
- "Abduction 2" will freeze less frequently, so I might be able to play for a long period without any freeze or maybe not.
But I have encountered random freezes in other games too even while I am in the main menu not even playing but this happens really rare.
So is it a sd card problem or something with apps2sd?
Maybe firmware? I am at the latest one (.06) and have to admit that previous versions were much better (less lag etc.)
In other words has anyone encountered the same issue?

Yeah, I have the same problem but it rarely happens. I'm in the latest firmware too, .6

i've had a similar problem while playing air traffic control, sometimes it freezes and closes app after game start and sometimes it freezes after a few minutes of gameplay.
also, when playing hex defense, the games freezes and closes when using the most right cannon (the one that costs $50 in the game and launches energy waves around it), if I don't use this weapon, the game goes on and on normally.
btw, my phone does not reebot after the game crashes, it goes back to "desktop" screen.

So we are three people already with about the same issue...
Anyone with a possible solution?

Same thing happens to me !
but mine isn't rooted so it could be something from stupid SE

the same thing happens on my mini pro
for example, jewels,fruit ninja,4 teh birds and etc.
can jit in 2.2 solve this problem?
my mini pro: rooted, cpuset, link2sd

I was almost sure that it was something wrong with the latest firmware (.06) as I thought that everyone posted here had it installed but now you really confused me...
I never had any problems with my first 2.1 firmware (.504) with any games but when I installed the latest, I did the whole app2sd thing too and maybe that is the problem.
Probably some games have issues when running from the sd card...
On the other hand "Nayef.Muhiar" said he has the same problem but he is no rooted so no app2sd for him then... So what then???

I am pretty sure it's the defect of the firmware (.06) fr SE.
Phone restarts automatically while playing AngryBird, even I started the game and just put aside. Already flash 3 times still having the same prob. Non-rooted & rooted still the same. Anyway to make a complain?

this problem happened since the upgrade of 2.1
when i was using 1.6, the games (jewels, fruit ninja...)worked perfectly
ps: it should not be the problem of app2sd
i tried to install the game in phone memory but it's just the same

The same problem here on a mini with .504 firmware, it happens when i'm playing game dev story, it freezes but what i do is to lock the phone and then unlock it and the game runs normal again.
My phone: rooted, link2sd, setcpu on demand

Thanks for the posts guys you are really helpful with your info.
Till now seems a problem that:
-Happens in all firmwares
-rooted or not
-app2sd/link2sd or not
-in different games to almost everyone...
For example I don't have any issues with Angry birds like "rickyccp" has etc...

Had freezes with prism3d ans mystique : ch2
Unrooted phone, un flashed phone, .6 update.
Using the default launcher.
Never had this problem with 3d games

angry birds only seqeeze the screen when its music turned off

Yes it happens randomly, now i don't have any problem with the games, this problem is in minicm too?

i dont know

Update:
So I did some testing and reflashed .06 firmware and just rooted + app2sd but the freezes and reboot still happening.
Afterwards I reflashed again and just rooted without app2sd (games in internal) but still the same...
So I am pretty much sure now that .06 fw is the guilty here.
As I've mentioned in .504 a problem like that never occured.
BTW is there a way to switch back to .504?

Latest update:
Problem still there with floyo.
Can someone please tell me if there is a way to go back to .504 older SE firmware?

omg...
you may search for the official .504 rom and flash it by Xrecovery
but i am not sure whether such a rom is available in the internet

mine is on .06 and it restarts on speedx 3d game
i think it a problem for the SE stupid software

2.3.3 Issue

Hey,
I recently updated to 2.3.3 using the pc update software from SE website, and the update was completed sucesfully, but i seem to have a small bug with some of my pre purchased games.
When i was on 2.3.2 i had purchased a few games, for example Backbreaker 2 Venegeance, and after the update the hardware controls have stopped working so for example when you pressed circle it would juke right, but now it just pauses the game as if i was pressing the back button, and also the triangle button has become completly unresponsive.
The only other game that has been affected by this is fifa 10 which came pre installed with the phone.
Iv tried all the basic troublshooting, uninstall, reinstall, clear data + cache and tried moving the game onto the phone as apposed to having it stored on the sd card.
Anyone have any solution to this as its really frustrating not being able to play a game iv just paid for. I know that when i was on 2.3.2 it was all working perfectly.
Reguards

I'd say it's not your problem, but the games'. They'd need an update. However, that FIFA stops working is to say the least disquieting, since it comes with the phone. I guess they'll update it on their own.
Not sure about all the games, as I didnt purchase them.
Just tried FIFA, since its preinstalled. Seems to me the buttons are working fine here, circle, triangle and all.
I am also on 2.3.3 Generic UK version, rooted image and Bootloader unlocked.
I mean all of my other games work as normal. Its just those two which is annoying but hopefully something will fix them

[Q] Inotia 3 problem

I have searched the forums and can't find someone with the same problems i am experiencing i hope someone can help me with a solution.
Problem:
If i play it for too long the game starts lagging horribly, i found this to happen a lot when playing trough some of the cut scenes.
And i think this one is only on our phone so....
When i press the menu key, which should take me to the home screen, it should save the game at it's current state, but it just closes it and i have to start from my last saved game or checkpoint.
Also i played the game on Froyobread V21 and now on V22 and had to start over because for some reason my apps weren't backed up and i had to download it again.
If you have any of the problems or know solutions write below.
Me too

I tried a lot of fixes but nothing works i tried:
Full wipe
Uninstalling the app
Moving it to SD Card (no change in loading speed)
Changing ROMs (Froyobread only!)
But still no solution.
P.S. And i see that Inotia 3 is one of the most downloaded free apps in the market so can someone with Froyobread confirm that it's working without any problem on the rom.
Me too. Even i used OC, mddi, and make it to lower quality using chainfire3d. but it still very laggy for playing it long.
Maybe it is inotia3's bug, or our phone isn't strong enough.
But i still waiting the next version of this game, hope this can be better.
I used Elelinux v.3 and FroyoBread 23b.
Better phone needed for it
Just get used to the fact that X8 is far not the powerful phone. For this type of games you just need a better phone.
As long as I keep having X8 I'm using it only for working/apps purposes. I'll play games when I buy a new phone, since on X8 they load so long, that there is no pleasure from playing them ...

No, no, no, no, That's not true our phone has run games with way better graphics
and i only get Lag on the cutscenes, so no its not that the phone is not powerful enough.
Mee to, Using floyo 1.0
It's very bad, coz it's a good game :s
Its sad to know that many people has the same problem with this game app, when i get laggy ive tried to activated flight mode on my phone, and its work well with the problem, but u cant used the nline shop, because the flight mode will turn off your internet connection. At least i can played in offline mode without laggy prob, and i can play this game in undervolt condition for longlife battery used.
Ps , iam using samsung galaxy tab 7'

That is usefull information. That means it's not the device that causes the problem, it's the app itself. Thank you for the reply.
my brother sent me a addfree version and the problem was over, at least for me...
1.1.5
Yep addfree version fixes the problem.. at least on gingerdx v004
I have tested Flight mode activated, only one crash, and no lag. Don t have a adfree version...

i just installed gingerdx on my phone few days ago

Thanks in advance

Well.....
Im sorry to say this but i have given up on Inotia 3 because of the bugs and lag.
Good news is i have found a replacement game with the same controls, so no multi-touch needed and the graphics are better also it doesn't have any lag at all.
The game i am talking about is Destinia it's just a great replacement for Inotia and i know that all of you who like Inotia will like it.
Helo people, I am also user who had same problem with Inotia3, lots of lags and reboots.
I am using gingerdx 018, where to find addfree version ?
For me beter replacment is zenonia 3.
I must say thats great game
stock rom - not rooted , cuz i brick it and need to do everything again..

Make a backup before trying this!
You have to dowload supercharger.sh.txt, after, rename it to superchager.sh and place it to the root of your sdcard.
disable "lock home in memory" in your cyanogenmod settings.
Now open terminal emulator in your x8 and write this:
su
sh sdcard/supercharger.sh
in please select scrolling speed, enter 0
in please enter option, enter 1
is home is locked in memory, enter no
and now, you have some settings (2 to 6) just enter a number, I use the aggressive 2 settings (option 3), but some people like the balanced settings 1.
after choosing your option reboot (option 16) and enjoy...
For me it's work great, and sorry for my bad english

SK17i (Rooted) crash

Hey guys! I have this really weird issue, each time I try to play Stardunk or Gun Bros, the phone would crash. The LED light starts flashing pink, there's a crying smilie face with the message simply saying the phone has crashed and that is saving a log to the SD card and that the battery should not be removed.
It also says that for more information, to visit https:// wiki.sonyericsson.net/androiki/c/ which brings me to a dead-end on any browser I try.
I've cleared the cache, re-install the apps and tried moving them back and forth between the phone and the SD card (32GB, class 4). It also happened with the original SD card that came with the phone. I also didn't install any apps until updating to 2.3.3 and then rooting 4.0.A.2.330.
So far only those games are giving me that problem but I'm going to check if more apps do the same, any suggestions? Is anyone else going through the same?
Thank you very much for your time!

dont use pirated software?
Well, I didn't know that just rooting the stock firmware and downloading free games from the market would mean I'm using "pirated" software... I just wanted to confirm if the problem was my phone or if other users with this phone are having the same issue... But thanks anyway.
I tried over 60 apps and games over the week and only those two games crash the phone. I'll try un-rooting and see if it helps.
****EDIT****
If more Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini Pro (International, SK17i) users have the same problem, then perhaps we can make a list of apps that don't work on our phones, it would also benefit Mini and Active owners.
Gun Bros didnt make my phone crash just didnt start up. It aint working on our devices.

[ics][help] something weird with touchscreen

Hello my friends here in Xda well I have a Xperia St15i recently I upgraded to stock ICS via SEUS and rooted it with the method by downgrading it, anyway not important, all went just fine I was happy with the new ICS and everything, I installed my Fav apps and all just go working fine.
I installed this games: "angry Birds", "angry birds seasons", "Angry birds space","They need to be feed","NFS shift","Doodle Jump","aliens" and "androidify". in the past in my older devices with GB and Eclair stock rooms this games never gave me a problem even on the current ICS until few days ago.
the other day I was just playin "they need to be feed" when suddenly the touchscreen stop working ...?¿?¿?... no message alert of fc and nothing came up the game still running normally but when I touched the screen for playing it do nothing, anyway the back, menu and home buttons still working and i quit the game by preesing home button, the stock launcher and all the other functions in the phone all were normal even the touchscreen so it seeemed to me like some bug on the game and I tought it was because some incompatiblility issue of the game with ICS. that moment I was testing all the apps I have, until I tested the angry birds I enter the game and for my surprise the touchscreen didn't work on this game, I quited the game and entered the angry birds season....the same problem and finally the angry birds space with same results. the other games i tried were fine. it was some kind of issue with this four games all the rest in the phone were just fine. it was very weird for me so i restarted the phone and again launched "they need to be feed" game, for a moment all went just fine when suddenly again the same problem, so I decided to remove the app and restart again the phone, that was two days ago. when i was playing angry birds again it all go working fine I thought the problem was gone until yesterday when I was playing Angry birds Space and again stop working the touchscreen.
I don't know what is the problem...maybe the hardware? or the latest update of angry birds? maybe other app in conflict? like set cpu? I don't know anymore so please help me because is anoing have to restart the phone everytime....
I tought it was the pinch zoom in the game but when in gallery app all go normal...I don't know anymore please help me
sorry for my bad english
As far as i know, those games didn't compatible enough to ICS. That need to fix is the APP, not PHONE or ROM. So just wait the app dev to fix it.

[Q] Angry birds freezes on intro

Hi!
I have read almost everyone gets AG original to run on 5830i,but on mine it freezes on the intro screen/"movie" just before first level.
Game starts, I choose first stage,first level, I see intro screen where the birds looks at empty nest the music plays. The screen shold slide to right but it does not it stays, music stops playing... and THATS IT. When I open Task manager I see 0,00% 3.10% cpu usage for AG orig when I came back to the game I see only black screen.
left it over night - I have read it loads slow - didn't help
cleared the cache and memory - did not help
installed not from market, from rovio site, some other - same black screen
I just got this phone, it supposed to be brand new, has stock 2.3 Gingerbread with sammy touchwiz.
I have 102 MB of free internal mem, and 1,4 GB of SD.
Please any advice. Is the unit faulty or badly flashed or something?

Reflashed and problem persists
I reflashed my phone with same stock rom with full wipe but the problem persists. Angry Birds still freezes on intro.
What can I?
Probably try modified rom and see if it freezes.Any other options to try if modified rom fails to amend it? Hardware bug?

From Paly store and Rovio's site. Same freez happening. Makes no difrence. Tested on clean latest official rom for this phone.
I can try modded roms on weekend to see if it makes any diffrence.
If you have any suggestions or routines/apps to test graphic hardware on S5830 feel free to shoot.
It Never Happened To Me Thou You Can Try Chainfire 3D Or Seeder ..... It Might Solve The Problem :thumbup:
Seeder + CF3D + Link2SD + NinjaMorph + Lucky Patcher + Root Browser + XDA Official For GT - S5830I
