I was applying a wallpaper to my arc then I hit the home button by accedent. This caused the background of my arc to become black and soon my phone stoped responding. Then it said android system is not responding (or something like that). Then my phone turned off. I had to put my battry back in and hit the power button. Then it boots all the way to the lockscreen but my slider is not there and when i touch my screen it just turns off again and i have to remove the battry to try to start it again. Any solutions?

If you can't get access to the home screen just reflash.
This did happen to me exactly the same as how you described I had to reflash and start again very strange indeed
thanks guys. I tried to reflash but it stoped and told me to turn on usb debug. which I coundent do. So I just went to Rogers and said the update messed it up and they flashed it in like 2 mins. Does anyone know what they use?
Rogers most likely have access to EMMA, it's SE's software update system for engineers.

I don't know if it's a setting I somehow changed or what, my screen won't turn off if I push the power button. If the screen is LOCKED it will turn on and off with the power button, but if I am at the homescreen and try to turn it off - nothing, I have to let it turn off by whatever time I set. (one minute)
Anyone know how to fix it??
Is this happening with the USB cable connected? If so, you've set it to not turn off during charging. Settings -> Applications -> Development -> Stay awake.

Mines been doin the same. I thought maybe it never did it until I checked this on someone else's Evo and it turned blacked when I pressed it. Hoping I dont have to reset my phone just for this.

I Had the same issue, I took off back cover & blew under the power button with compressed air. I works now!
My Xperia play has started an annoying trend of having a black screen. Usually I took the battery out left it a while put the charger and battery in and the screen would work. however the screen is not working. The light on the power button is indicating it is working but when I press the power button it just vibrates. I haven't altered any running programs in anyway. Anyone know what to do?
Thanks in advance.

Don't quite understand your situation.
Firstly, are you on stock or have you done anything with your phone (roms, bootloader unlock etc). have you installed a recovery?
secondly you mention this has happened before & if you do a battery pull it works fine?
at times when your battery is so used up, it takes a while for the phone to come on.
charge the phone for a while when it's switched off & then try turning it on.
Technically, since the charging light is coming on & the phone vibrates, and more importantly since this has happened in the past, it shouldn't be "bricked" unless the situation gets worse
I was in the same situation mate, i have flashed it to stock, relocked bl flashed it with wotan, connected it to the charger.. but anyways if i turn it on it vibrates and the screen was still black. No Sony Ericsson Logo!
I have send it to SE Service, they repaired the screen.. btw.. its the same screen with same scratches as before.. until now i dont know what was the problem
Hi guys.
So i managed to get my desire wet/damp and whilst it still works it has developed 3 issues:
1) The weirdest of all - the phone wont go into standby, as soon as you press the power button or let it timeout the screen goes off and they instantly turns back on to the lock screen. If i leave it, it will timeout again on lockscreen and come back on, it does this forever. I have done factory resets etc, all the same. Weird right
2) Volume keys do not work - think means i had issues getting into recovery. Finally found a widget to do it and then....
3) Trackpad does not work in recovery so i cannot re-flash or try any new rom to see if that fixed (1)
Proper catch 22
Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks
Brisgstfer
UPDATE
OK I HAVE AN UPDATE:
The plot thickens but i have managed to S-OFF my Desire and eventually install Clockworkmod Touch which obviously doesn't require me to use the trackpad button so I was able to use Recovery. I wiped the phone and tried reflashing the ROM i had been using (Insertcoin) but this made no difference, the phone still keeps waking up immediately that it goes to sleep (either with power button or by sleeping timeout).
So i decided to install a completely different ROM (CM10_VJ_4.1.2_v3.0) and this installed fine. Now the phone will go to sleep and stay asleep if I press the power button. Problem solved I thought!
Now when the phone is asleep 50% of the time, trying to wake it with the power button will cause it to reset immediately and goto the white HTC screen. When it restarted it sits on the unlock screen and keeps timing out, screen goes off, then immediately on again - weird. If i unlock and lock with power button it will behave. For some reason the Search key will wake the phone every time no issues. Only the power key to unlock causes it to reset. Phone is sleeping according to Battery info.
Any other suggestions for what I could try. Could this possibly be something hardware related now? If there a way i can log the key presses or reason it wakes/resets?
Any help really appreciated, the phone is pretty unusable with this reset issue now.
THanks

May be a hardware issue. But try installing a lighter ROM like dGB or MildWild and see if the issue persists.

Thanks mate. So i tried this and installed CM7 today and have discovered something. As i said above the volume down button doesn't work and the volume up only works with some persuasion. Once i installed CM7 the problem where I lock phone with power key and it instantly wakes up now persists (on the JB rom it at least stayed asleep but reset if power button was pressed again).
However whe i changed the display timeout to 15seconds i watched as it timed out and instantly woke then noticed the volume would increment down one notch each it woke up again. This leads me to think that rather then the volume down not working at all it is actually stuck down permanently and could be causing the issue here. Is there any way I can find out if this is the case and disable the volume keys through software or do i need to open up the phone and disconnect it?
Thanks for any help - i think we are getting there!

Flash a ROM which can be unlocked via trackpad and volume can be adjusted from the phone settings without touching volume keys and the power button on the top.
I recommend MildWild5.8 based on CM7. When I was on it, I totally forgot about volume and power keys because all the phone operations can be done without them.
Thanks thats a great suggestion. I actually worked out that the trackpad is being pressed down constantly too because on CM7 when i disable trackpad to wake the phone actually stays asleep.
Is there any way to disable both volume and trackpad buttons at the kernal/system level?
Hello everyone,
This is my friend's ZL. He just came to me for help. His phone suddenly went blank, and the notification LED keeps on blinking at an interval of ~7-8 sec. The phone is EXTREMELY hot now. I tried pressing the power button to no avail. Pressing power + volume up also reveals nothing. I tried to charge it for around 30 minutes, but still nothing. If else, it gets hotter....
Now my guess is that this phone is currently stuck inside the android OS itself, with the white LED blinking from his previous notifications. It just stops, froze, and I must wait until this phone ran out of battery and I'll try to charge it to see if it will revive. My other guess is it's stuck somewhere while starting up and those white LED blinking means something..... Until then, anyone else have the same problem?
Btw, this phone is pure stock. No modification done, not even root. ROM updated to the last version as of today (July 18, 2013).

Maybe try the reset button under the sim cover at bottom of phone..... did it go funny immediately after the update? If so, then the update must have failed...

I.....did not even know it exists :laugh::laugh:Well, the battery just drained now. I'm still recharging it. If it ever happens again (hopefully not) I'll try to press the button.... Thanks anyway.
The reset button fixed it!!!

Thank you for this solution, I was having the same issue, I caled the company's call center they said it was a factory issue, that I needed to take it to the workshop. I was sad for being without my expensive new phone during the year end. But this button fixed it inmediately.
I was uploading a picture to share and it got stock, it's a pictured I downloaded where I was tagged on facebook. After resetting the phone, I tried to share the same picture and it went black again. Definetily there's something wrong with the app I'm using to share or the file. Maybe that's something I'll look for the solution in another thread. Thank you!!!:good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

I am facing exactly the same problem on my xperia zl.. (Updated to 4.3 yesterday no problem whatsoever during and after update (Official release)
Since today morning the display is black no activity by pressing power button Batter was fully charged to 100%.. (No Battery Issues)

Reset button on the back is also not working..
What will be the cause?
(Btw Phone is stock no rooting modding etc..)
Hi all,
I have some trouble with my Z1 compact. Very often when screen is off and pressing powerbutton (to get to unlock screen) the screen goes on but in the same sec goes it off. The same thing can also happen if screen is on and I want to turn it off -> it goes off and again on and I'm back at unlock screen. This issue appears kind of randomly and I have no idea if this is a software bug or a hardware problem.
Using CM11 M12 stable. Any ideas? Thank you

I have the same phone and OS, and have seen the same issue, but until I saw your post I have dismissed it as something I was doing when pressing the power button. I believe it must be a software bug, since I did not have the problem when running the stock OS. Perhaps it is worth a bug report.

I use Xposed and GEM Xperia Xposed module, that has 'wake up with volume keys'
Not really a solution, more of a workaround
