Hi,
I got an X10i from UK Vodafone, and upgraded its firmware in India through SEUS, and it was clean installation to R2BA026, but the moment I started using it, every time I use some app the phone switches off. Its very inconsistent.
I tried below with no luck
reinstall
removed some apps
Killed some apps
I worried that many in talk.sonyericsson.com/message/10001 say that its hardware issue, but I dont think so.
Can anyone help with some solutions?
Mod's please move this if this is not the right place to post this.
Have you tried to OTA update your x10? If this won't work you may should root your phone or try to downgrade it to an older firmware!
SE will launch eclair soon, this will also fix phone!!!
I got exactly the same here. Phone reboots in a loop or even crash without a reason. Sometimes it couldn't come up, while activating SIM / phone. After that message appears the phone is still in loop and reboots again.
I am going to downgrade now to 024 firmware. It's driving me crazy...will post if I have luck.
Well I figured out, that the problems we have are a bit more strange as expected. I read that the problem is because of the overheated battery. Once happend, the battery isn't working properly anymore. So only SE Customer Service can help. Today I'm going to a Sony store to explain my problem with the phone. Hope I'll have luck.

I got the same problem and tried everything to fix it but nothing helped. As soon as mobile switches on it restarts and goes into a boot cycle.
I figured out that the mobile restarts mainly when it needs to read something from the sim card. I swapped my old sim with a new sim and found that the restart problem was solved instantly. I tried again with another bad sim and the restart loop starts again.
Bad sim cards slide into the sim card slot very easily and hence the pins connection are loose which tends to make the mobile unstable while reading or writing from/to sim.
The easy method to solve this problem is by making the sim a little thick by sticking a piece of paper on the back side of sim.
From my personal experience bad sim is main cause of restart cycle.
Try to swap sim cards, if it works let us know.
Thanks
Hi,
Thanks for the details.
I tried both the sim cards, I have GSM Vodafone, and BSNL 3G, both has the problem, very similar.
The same worked earlier with R1XXXX very well.
However, will try the Sim trick with a paper on the back side, which afix the sim tightly.
Thanks,

Hi,

Some one help.
Thanks,

its not related to sim or firmware
it is not related to sim or software, it might me with some handsets but it is completely a hardware problem...dont believe me use your phone without sim and memory card and play some game or just keep on playing with your phone
it will turn off and you have to remove battery for few seconds otherwise it wont start
this topic is covered on sony site mentioned above and other threads, this is not just happening to me or some of us...its with many of us
changing firmware, sim , memory card tried everything no luck
m using iphone now and miss big x10 screen and better colors
One week ago I sent my phone to SE. I'll get a report with my X10 back. So till now I don't have heard nothing from SE. I'll tell you what's in the report, if I get it back. By now I am playing with my oldschool N80 :-(
Hi I observed one thing weird here.
I have reset the mobile, and when it asked for APN settings, i disabled MMS&data, phone seems to be working little stable, goto check for some time, and try playing games on it.
Thanks,

The MMS and Data settings seem to be the problem.
When I used my old sim which was disabled, it worked fine with everything. When I enable my APN and MMS settings in my new sim and start browsing the net and downloading stuff it restarts there.
I think the problem is somewhat related to internet browsing on mobile.
What app do you use to browse internet on your Xperia?
Having been on Sprint for the last 10 years & never used a phone with a sim card, I'm hoping this is an easy fix. For the last several days, I've been getting a pop up on my screen that says sim card removed, reboot phone. Sometimes when I reboot it works, sometimes it takes several reboots. Do you guys think it's just a bad card, or do you think it's the sim card reader itself? Anyone ever had this happen before?
Just pop into an AT&T store and swap for a new one. That should give you the answers.
My sim reader appears to be dead. The other day I go to use my phone and it says no signal, restart it and im good, browsing the web when all the sudden i get a message about no sim, insert sim and restart phone. So i restart and it was good for a couple days. Today my phone will not read a sim card. Tried my girlfriends captivate sim and no dice and my sim worked just fine in her phone. I odin back to stock to see if it would help but no dice. Seems like it must be hardware to me, has anybody had a similar problem.

Sounds like a bad solder joint or something hardware, unfortunately.
Hardware defects are covered by the warranty, should be able to get it replaced with relatively little hassle.... i say relatively, cause any time you're dealing with a warranty department There is inherently some hassle.
Hi all.
I've had my mi8 lite global for a few weeks now.
It's been great, seems to do all I need and more.
But, I've more recently been having an issue with it dropping my Sim card.
I can be using it or sitting standby and it'll suddenly flash to the lock screen and and show no Sim card found in the notification area.
Sometimes it can go a decent length of time with no issue (couple of days) while other times it'll repeatedly do it in one session.
Rebooting the phone brings it back to normal each time.
I've also tried putting my Sim in slot two and it doesn't read it all.
And another issue I have is my alarm failing, twice now.
No notification or anything. Just didn't go off.
Not sure if it's related or not.
Thanks!
I've sorted the alarm issue.
I allowed the clock to auto start.
But any tips or advice on how to sort and solve the SIM card issue?
Maybe it's the simcard itself try to test with another one
Don't have another SIM card. I can order one though.
It's also a new SIM card.
Where it's irregular, makes it difficult to prove where the issue is.
I can put my sim in an old phone but it's a faulty phone.
Does android save these kind of things to a log?

same thing happening here with the SIM card, any solutions or tips?
I've got a single SIM LYA-L09 and while I love it, it unfortunately stops being able to read the SIM card multiple times per day, which means I have to restart it and even restarting it doesn't work.
I've tried replacing the actual SIM card and blowing compressed air into the SIM card slot, but the problem still remains.
So, I heard both versions of the phone are actually the same phone and just have different firmware.
If that's true, that might be the answer to my problem.
Is it possible to upgrade to dual SIM and if so, how?
Thanks!
Hey,
did you find a solution?
Thanks
