Phone's screwing up. - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini

Hi there,
I need some help with my phone. Every time I restart it or turn it on, it will switch on to the Sony Ericsson logo, then repeat this process until I get lucky and it decides to head to the lock screen, where after loading all start up applications, would proceed to restart.
Then, afterwards, it rearranges all my icons for me, and then none of the applications will work and they just crash. In addition, I keep getting crash messages from apps like Hotmail and Battery Booster and the phone's extremely laggy, as well as the accelerometer won't work.
Can anyone help me?

[Q] X10 Mini Pro Restarting on Camera

Hi all,
I apologize first if my post is in the wrong place.
I am from India and got this very recently.
i just bought a x10 mini pro and updated to 2.1. tried to root it with z4 root but didn't work. now (i don't know if it was due to the partial rooting) the phone reboots when i go to the camera mode.
I will explain the steps i did here.
1. after a full charge the camera works. only some time.
2. i unlock the screen, press the camera on the screen and the phone reboots.
3. (after a little experimenting), if i dont lock the screen the camera mode works in and out perfectly. if i lock the screen and unlock, and then enter the camera mode it reboots.
4. also some bugs-- after taking a picture the same picture taken is locked on the camera mode, even after exiting the gallery mode and it takes some time to register the new scene on the screen. something i didn't expect.
also downloaded the app for the flashlight and if i press the light on button it restarts.
well i don't know if you understood that much. but there are 18 apps installed by me. i hope that it may be due to the apps i have installed, and only a couple of them are running. even when they are not running the matter is the same.
I previously was using a W705 SE and is a member of se-nse forums. this is the first time i am using a linux/android phone and this thing has let me down. is this a hardware related or a battery problem? everything looks SE genuine except the product is made in china by SE and imported to India. Maybe that??
Other than that the phone works ok. i just found out how to root the phone
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=906231
so will try that and change all the apps to sd card. have a 8GB on that too. is there any detail i have to give about the phone?
Thanks all!

Hi, try to reinstall camera app:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=826849
Good luck
ok bro, will try it.
I did as said but it installed a different app and that says 'no camera available'. Is it really for the x10 mini? And it doesnt replace the default app. But the default runs seperately as usual. Is there any way to correct this problem? Thanks!

Hey,
Reflashing the phone will solve the problem
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928343
actually, the phone was flashed 2 timed by me, and 1 by the se service centre. I guess I have to change the battery. which makes no sense to me.
thanks for your ideas.

[Q] how to make phone usable quicker? stop media scanning etc on boot?

when i turn my phone on, i want to use it straight away. the sgs2 takes an age to become usable due to media scanning which is pointless unless it's just been connected to a PC, then there's all the apps loading in the background which makes the phone unusable until that's all finished.
when i turn it on, it's slow to respond to even the pin entering part. the unlock pattern screen doesn't register at all for 30 seconds sometimes and registers an error meaning you have to wait another 30 seconds to do it again.
short of forcably uninstalling every single app on the phone and not having an sd card in there, how the hell can i make it usable as soon as i unlock it? meaning no scanning, no app loading etc etc etc?
Do you expect to be able to use your pc as soon as you press the power button?
Just have patience...
I kind of understand your problem with the media scanner. It does seem to run unnecessarily a lot of the time. The app problem though is just part of android. You could download an app i think it is called autostarts and you can disable a lot of apps from starting up straight away.

the power button? no. once i hit the desktop - yes. i don't have every single application installed on my PC running itself for no reason. some try to load something but that's what msconfig/services.msc is for.

i tried autostarts but it doesn't stop all apps. the ebay one, titanium backup etc all run by themselves without me doing a damn thing.

booting, not long really. it's the delay in the phone being usable once booted that's the prob. best rom? everyone'll have a diff opinion. we do have CM but i've never got on with their roms. oxygen also was laggy so went back ti criskelo
Rescan media Root, this app can disable media scanning, but I think this phone has pretty fast boot.
it does, it's what happens once it's booted to the homescreen thats the problem.
will try that, ta.
as far as i've heard, the scan disabling only affects the stock player which i don't use.
Up to 30 seconds? ****ing hell. For me boot time takes no longer than 10 seconds from pressing the power button to getting onto my homescreen, from there I can do whatever I want, weather the media scanner is running or not. Just root your device and freeze the media scanner.
i have rooted. i'm guessing it's all the apps being loaded in the background more than anything else.
when i connect via usb, then disconnect - the scanning doesn't impact usability
Can't u disable media scanner?

[Q] U8150 FusionIdeos 2.7.10 & messaging app issue

First I would like to appreciate the hard work Fusiondev has put into this custom built ROM & say thank you! Am loving it,so much better than stock.
I however have run into abit of an anomaly. The default messaging app seems to have persistence without the option of removing it. It also shares dialer app function of storing the simcard's pin no. thus if you attempt to kill it,it won't die but you'll instantly receive a notification requesting you to enter your pin code.
It would also have been nice if the edge/2G/3G connectivity notification wasn't tied to messaging notification sound settings,its a little odd when you have a voice notifying mp3 for messages then again you here it on edge/2G/3G connectivity notification. Can anyone confirm this issue coz I followed instructions to the letter when installing FusionIdeos 2.7.10. I used clockworkmod & didn't forget to wipe/factory reset before flashing. I also can't tell how many characters am typing in the messaging app.
Installing a third party messaging app like Go SMS Pro still fails to relieve the default messaging app of its persistence & causes message/notification duplication. Is there a fix for this issue?
Anyone pliz help! I re-installed FusionIdeos and all I get now is improved battery life,the prob still persists even after fresh download. I can't get into boatloader mode (something I later also discovered). It just displays a blue 2 @ the bottom right of the screen & I have to remove the battery to boot normally. Anyone help me.!
Have you tried uninstalling the default messenger app (using a system app uninstaller)?

Infact I'd love it if you could suggest a good app that does just that coz I have installed apps alone without games & all am left with is a measly 57MB. How would one untie the edge/2G/3G notification tone to the text messaging notification tone?

You could try this app: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.danesh.system.app.remover&hl=en (always works for me). You could just try changing the message tone.

Let me see, where do I start. Alright that app means serious biz. I played around with it and it cost me my keyboard hence wasnt able to post here until now. As of now I have been through CynogenMod 7.2 found that it cant surf the net, has no list of APN list and now am back. When I used system app remover to take out mms.apk (messaging app) it went with the system keyboard. It was extremely persistent in giving a "force close" error right until I rebooted the phone. So I flashed CynogenMod 7.2, realized it cant surf then looked for an online pc and had to download a third party keyboard.
What effectively happened was my system now has alot of free ram instead of free space, its very fluid in performance especially with Go laucher Ex effects all enabled. I really wish there could be some FusionIdeos update separating all this ties within the system. I believe the reason why this ROM is so big is because of the language packs coz the CynogenMod 7.2 ROM left me with 142MB to play with but this one does only 67MB as of now. Is there anyway this language packs can be removed? I still cannot boot into bootloader mode
Bump, anyone?
Bump!
I know there people who can help even @ this time of the year. I could use some help here.

Are you able to boot into recovery mode?

Yes I am able to.
As for (power+red+vol.down), what happens is, the phone reboots then remains in a sort of an idling state where nothing is happening,I have been reading around and now it seems that is what they call bootloader mode,if that's it then yes. Probably its idle coz there isnt a zip to update to. Is that right? I also read in some forum that you can flash clockworkmod recovery using bootloader mode with a custom zip but only in Evo,havent found for u8150-D yet.
I believe I can get more freespace if I can remove the language packs that I dont need. Know how?
How can I remove the language packs that I dont need from this ROM?
Da#n!!
Bricked my phone again!
I may a noob going through puberty (brick-phone stage) trashed my recovery menu, trashed my rom and ram, but am not interested in building a dynasty of expensive brickhouses (deaded ZTE blades,U8800s,U8150s......)
My phone is up & running once again, so
Bump!
Considering the heading of this topic, I would say that my problem has been solved by simply removing the default messaging app, therefore this topic can be bagged and tagged. Link2SD also solved my space issues dramatically... even my launcher 10MB is auto linked 2 sd and works flawlessly!

1 use a different browser, I like boat browser myself.
2 look under settings- display- screen time out. Or have I misunderstood?
3lag usually goes after a while. Try removing some stuff you dont use etc

Lag on an S,lol, its a bug. Reflash the phone(what firmware version are you?).
Screen timeout can be set from Display settings, not sure about lock, I amnt using a code atm.
All android browsers will default to the "m" versions of sites as the stock user agent string will tell the site that your phone is android. Without root I dont know if you can change the stock browsers user agent, but if you install opera mobile it can be set from "about:config"(type in to address bar).
Edit: If you've only booted once, REBOOT! First boot lags things up a bit.

Will the force stop work to disable it forever?? i dont remember what was the app...
and is there any way to completely remove that process?? so it will not download any app automatically forever?
Try following the instructions you've been given.

that is not permanent. you need to force stop it every time you reboot the phone. try uninstalling the apps one by one and reboot phone after every un-installation. possibly cheap rated apps with ad support may cause this.
:good:
Alright. Thanks all for helping me.... im glad that this community is very helpful for all the android users....
Thnx Alot
