Has someone suddenly turned off the Xperia 1 IV? Thank you
Not sure what you are asking??
My phone turned off automatically
It s normal? has happened to someone?
shouldn`t happen, from my 2 Xepria 1 IV`s I have had, I have never had this issue.
had mine since end of june, that never happened.
Agree cannot happen easily, but possible if the volume and power buttons were pressed together for few seconds or your phone had a processor failure that results in a reboot rather than a shutdown
...or maybe when you got the notification that you hadn't rebooted in a while and ignored the notification, it decided to shutdown to teach you a lesson - Sony Rulez! Just joking, no something must have gone wrong somewhere for that to happen.
This has happened to me once only.
I narrowed it down to overheating seeing as the most obvious answer.
Otherwise I've noticed some battery related irregularities like 10% but upon powering on I see 2x% battery.
(Or 13% battery remaining however it shuts down showing 4-5% and other times living to its full potential lmao).
My 1 IV got the problem yester day.
When I was watching TV on Chrome app , it suddenly turned off , I can't turn on by hold the power button or power + volume up/down .
Then I put the charger on the phone wake up again and the battery showing 28% , it was 36% before it turned off
i have had this issue on 2 Xperia 1 IV, first one i could return for exchange as it happened within 30 days
the replacement did not have issues until after about 2 months so I am stuck with it.
did anyone narrow down the issue or managed to get it repaired?
I spoke to sony repair centre and they told me if they cant find the issue as its random, they will just return it as it is.
Yeah min 12 times in the month. And yesterday I drove home used Android Car and was by a call. Suddenly the phone shuts down.
This is so poor from Sony. This phone is so annoying me.
On Saturday my mom bring me her old Samsung Note Phone.
I have enough oh this part of a **** phone.
Think about it! 1400€ and you got a peace of ****...
I am still waiting for a costum rom...
so.....almost a year now and never happened, just the usual "you didn't restart your phone for more than 28 days bla bla bla".....

Hey guys.
I have a problem with my HTC EVO 3D. I've been using it for a year and everything was fine until yesterday. I was playing Real Racing 3 when my phone suddenly restarted and then turned off before I could enter my PIN code and didn't boot up. I thought that it might have overheated or it was some crash or something, I put the phone to charging and it easily turned on (I must mention, that there were about 70% battery left). I charged my phone and didin't use it whole afternoon. In the evening, I was trying to unlock my phone (with about 70% of battery) when suddenly the same happened again - the phone restarted and before entering PIN code turned off at all. After that I wasn't able to boot my phone.
I tried charging it with original HTC AC charger and also using my laptop and even a car charger, but nothing changes.
When the phone is not plugged in to charging, it doesn't show any signs of being alive. I tried pressing volume down/up/camera buttons + power on button, taking off the battery for about an hour, charging the phone for ~6 hours. Nothing works.
However, I realised that when I connect the phone to my laptop, there is a 'new device is connected' sound, but I am not able to access my memory card or do something else. Also, when the phone is charging, the red charging light is on, which after a few hours turns to green and after some more time disappears at all. When trying to turn on the device while it is charging the red light disappears as soon as the power button is released ant comes back after about 20 seconds.
Sorry for such long story and for my bad English. I am very disappointed. I still have a warranty, but I dont want to take the phone there, because the fixing lasts at least 2-3 weeks and also since I'm unable to boot my phone, there are a lot of my personal information in it, such as passwords,messages, bookmarks and so on, left.
So, is there anything I could do or should I take my phone to service?
P.S. The phone is not rooted and never was. Everything is original and up to date.

Perhaps try a new battery or take it in and have them try one. Sounds like a battery issue.

Thanks. I took it to service. I hope they'll repair it.
I finally got my HTC back a few days ago. They changed the motherboard and I had to buy a new battery since the old one was dead and warranty for it was only a year.
But I've faced several unexpected crashes during these few days. I think 3 or maybe 4 times when I took the phone after not using it for couple of hours and tried to unlock it, the phone didn't unlock and instead turned on. I really don't like this, because if my phone turns off whenever it wants, I may be unreachable
Does anyone knows what that means and what should I do if this keeps happening?

Yes, the soft has always been and is stock.
Then it must be a hardware issue. If your warranty has not expired, take it to the warranty service.

Well as I said I dont want to take it there because it takes about three weeks or more till I get back my phone.. It would be the third time in two months and it really annoys me.
Couldn't this be software issue? I mean I've been reading some similiar threads and I found out that some app might be killing the phone. So I did hard reset yesterday and after that installed only well known essential apps (Google services and some others) and after that the phone didin't crash for almost two days. Unfortunately, it did turned off a few minutes ago. I've installed only 8 Ball Pool and Smart Keyboard Pro recently, so I will try unninstalling them both and let's hope the phone won't crash again. Is there any ideas what else may I do in case it doesn't work?

Id recommend doing a factory reset on the phone and not installing any app for at least a week to confirm its not a hardware issue, but I strongly believe it is. If it fails youll have to take it to a sprint store and hope the clerk is in a good mood and give you a new phone the same day.
try a new battery
The battery is new, I had to buy it only a week ago, because the service stated that the old one was dead.
Really hope someone can help me here.
I rooted, and put CM10.2 on my phone a month or two ago (don't play that much with ROMs, etc), but fancied a change from stock.
Anyways, it's been fine (although battery life not quite as great as before, but hey ho), this evening just got a WhatsApp message, dropped the notification bar down, clicked on it to open Whats App, and the phone rebooted... And then continued to just reboot over and over after 2-3 seconds (showing the i9300 Samsung logo with the red ! in the top left).
Removing battery stops this obviously, but weirdly when I put the battery back in boots straight away, and continues to just loop like that. Holding power, home, vol up/down makes no difference (been playing with this for about an hour now, and searching other peoples solutions, someone said 5 times wait, and release). Just can't get anything other than this loop, just weird that I can't actually turn it off either.
Suggestions please?
Thanks Gunja
Booting as soon as battery is inserted indicates power button sorted out, try wiggling it or seek a repair.
Yes I believe thats the case, as I have actually got it into the "Accept different OS" mode, stays there for 2 seconds and reboots. Nothing seems physically weird about the power button.
It did the sudden die thing a few months back, and I returned it to Sammy UK and they fixed it (due to 2 year warranty) in 2 days. It's still under 2 years old, so will give them a call. Was rooted before, but didn't show the red ! in the left left. Hope that they don't mind that, as this does seem to genuinely be a physical hardware problem not software.
If you just hold the power button on the S3 when it's booted, just it just turn off eventually? How annoying, 2nd problem with it in the last 4-5 months, wonder if will get another sammy when upgrades due in a couple of months. Lets see how their support is again this time round!
Went to work this morning have a case, my Nexus 9 was sleeping as I used it & worked fine when I got up.. Sleeping, with case close.. When I got home this afternoon it was dead.. No life what so ever.. Tried everything. Plugging unplugging, opening and shutting the case. Thinking this was the sleep of death routine I've heard about before on other devices.. and I've been able to wake my old Nexus 7 by messing with things like this.. Plugged it into power for a couple hours, as I took a nap. Woke up, tried again.. Nothing!
I ended up calling HTC, they had me do a trick they called battery reboot or some such.. Push down, Power, Volume down, Volume up, all at the same time., for 3 min.. I got to about 1 minute plus in I think, and it rebooted..
My question is.. what caused it to freeze if anyone knows and are tere other reported problems along these lines. I've had the thing all of 1 month plus 3 day's so this is a first and i'm just wanting to understand and learn from it.. see if there are any other reported problems along these lines??
Random Crashing
I am experiencing random crashes where the phone stops and the LED flashes a few times before rebooting. At first I thought it was overheating, as the phone was quite warm the first few times, but it has just done it when cold. It has happened mostly whilst in the play store. It's crashed about 15 times in 4 hours.
Has anyone else experienced anything like this? Is there anyway to access the logs without root?
*** Edit ***
This must just be a dud device. I did a factory reset last night and it crashed rebooting. Will take back to shop and hopefully exchange for a new one.
Did u tried to repair it via PC Companion?
It comes from a bad battery voltage. I had One m7 and after 1 year this problem begin. They change the battery and battery conector and it comes to work good.
This happened after 5 minutes, it's been sent back to the shop now for repair / replacement. Shame, as it was a nice phone when it wasn't crashing!
I had kind of the same experience with my device I bought yesterday. Turned it on, worked for about half an hour before flashing the red LED a few times and shutting down. After that it turned on once again, booted halfway up, the red LED flashed again and it shut down again. Then it did not react to anything anymore.
Plugging it into the charger did not yield any reaction at all. Pressing On and the Vol+ button made it vibrate three times as its supposed to do, but afterwards even that did not work anymore. As a last resort I pressed the hard reset button in the SIM slot, which also made it vibrate three times without any other reaction.
So I concluded it was dead and returned it to the store this morning to get my money back. I think I will hold of of buying a replacement until all the errors that currently pop up are sorted out.
Also noteworthy is, that while booting up and in the time it was usable the screen had a red tint sometimes and touch was working rather flakily.
They sent me a brand new phone, so was def a dud. No crashes so far, finger crossed
Hi! So yesterday, I was charging my phone at the office using an AUKEY fast charger. All of a sudden, the screen blacked out. It hasn't turned back on ever since and won't charge anymore. Tried the following troubleshooting steps to no avail:
1. Pressed the power button.
2. Did hard reset (power + volume up).
3. Tried a different charger (original Xperia 1 charger that came with the box and another USB type C charger from my XZ Premium)
4. Tried software repair through Xperia Companion.
At this point, am I SOL? I was hoping to avoid sending this to the Sony Repair Center as I know it would take a long time to get it back.
Any help would be much appreciated.
UPDATE: After more than a week, I tried charging it again using the original charger, and it magically began charging again. At which point I have decided that I can't afford to have this issue again so I returned it back to the seller. I have now moved on from the Xperia brand and have since switched to Oneplus 7 Pro.
Same here. No solution so far. I think I'll have to take it to the Sony Service Center. Fortunately I still have my Xz Premium so I don't have to live without Sony but of course, it's annoying me à bit that I paid xxx euros for a Premium phone and the screen suddenly goes black and goodbye.
Use the official charger it will fix the issue

What makes you think the original charger will fix the problem
Any solutions for this?
Out of nothing phone is just dead. It is charging etc.
Phone is booting after 1 second lockscreen screen turns black.
couple weeks ago i had a strange observation while the phone was charging.
i'm using a noname normla charger (no fast charge)...after couple minutes the phone just restarted...i don't no why but this never happened befor.
but i'm still on Android Pie
Mine just happened today. Not charging and turning on. Maybe it was the latest software update?

I encountered similar problem today. I was using the phone and then all of a sudden screen turns off and doesn't turn back on.
Naturally I tried to restart the phone, but once the Sony and Android logos disappear and it reaches the pin code screen, the screen shuts off.
It seems the phone it self was working as it still showed up on my Xperia XZP wifi hotspot list prior the first reboot. Also what seemed really odd was that the phone made some really weird noises near the camera area, like a failing HDD would do.
For context I was using the phone in a heavy rain before but I charged it yet.
Update: Phone started up again after leaving it alone for few hours.

Update 2: The phone still gives has the problem. It worked fine most of the day after turning it on, but today morning the screen blacked out again.
I was listening some music while it happened and the music kept playing, meaning the phone itself is totally awake, but the screen cant be turned on.
The phone can be woken up for short burst of time, lasting from 1-3 minutes, or it can also be fine until the problem arises again. I try to copy all my files to PC and remove all of my 2FA stuff from phone and try to repairing the software. If that doesn't help I return the phone to store, bought it last August.
sad to read....so far i did't run into that bug so far :fingers-crossed:
just updated from Pie to Android 10 two days ago (4 updates in a row 0_o)....phone works normal so far

Update 3: So I avoided going through the software repair ritual myself, because even though I am a hard on Sony fan probably til day I die, the damn phone is a disappointment compared to my last XZ Premium. Except the screen and rumble engine, these are better.
But I digress. I just thought that this phone isn't worth my time and just took it straight to shop I bought it from next day. So after two weeks I got my Xperia 1 back, fully working again and with a replaced the motherboard. And all that free of charge. So I advice OP to take that Xperia 1 unit back to Sony if they haven't done it yet.

Day later it turned on. Maybe a small water damage?
Weird...

Well it turned on later on the same day I first encountered the issue. Next day I could not get further than pin screen and it shut screen off.
But I wouldn't cross out water damage, it rained hard on that day so I was soaking wet when I got home. But I doubt my phone provider would have handled it so seamlessly if it were a water damage case.

It must be. I'm washing my phone sometimes. After the blackdead I checked the simcard holder for dirt and things.
And indeed it was little bit dirty(white things). Cleaned it up and it's ok now.
Another one here with a suddenly dead xperia 1.
Long Sony fan too, but im really disappointed. The only thing i could think is i used to wash my phone with a little soap, but when phone died was hours after i wash it, and i been doing the same for months.
Im starting to think is due to bad quality of the motherboard, and not water damage. I checked sim tray and no sign of water, water indicator sticker is intact (white).
Is suspicious, lately suddenly more people seem to report this sudden death, its a bad software update? Planned obsolescence? Don't know but it's weird.
Im so disappointed with the brand right now, that already ordered a Samsung phone. Maybe in some years, Xperia will be more reliable. Having such an expensive phone dying a couple of months after 1 year of use is unacceptable.
