Anyone can help me?
Few days ago my screen started to have problems. The light of the screen will randomly blink when swiping on launcher or status bar. Then I will need to restart and everything will be alright but then it comes again. I reinstall stock rom but still no use.
Please advice. D:

it might be because of:
1. you have auto brightness on. autobrightness on gingerbread is not that great.
2. you're using Cyanogenmod7 and have that slide status bar to adjust brightness.

Nope, auto brightness is off. Not using CM7 also. I don't know why. I think it's because of the cable is loose, I'm not really sure.

I thought of that. Gonna get back to stock and send to Sony centre.
Sony centre said it was my software problem. Could it be kernel problem?

Sony tried telling someone else the same thing! They keep trying to blame it on software, even though the slider cable is a faulty design and should be recalled. Revert to absolute stock, and tell them after restoring it the problem persists and you know for a fact it's hardware.
It's really starting to piss me off that they're trying to blame a bad design on the users!

Ok, I really don't know what happened. I charged the phone last night, and it froze overnight( not a normal occurrence). So this morning I did a battery pull and restart. It had some issues restarting, it took 3 tries to get it to work. Then when it did start, the display was odd. Everything is very small. The display still stretches the entire screen, just very small. Almost like the phone thinks it is a tablet. I was running cm9, but I flashed back to stock FTF about a month ago. Only thing done since is root (to retrieve titanium backups) and install cwm. I know that I could probably flash again and solve problems, but I just don't want to mess with rooting and restoring again. I tried clearing cache and dalvic cache, but no luck. I have attached screenshots of the problem. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Not sure what is up with the notification bar, but it goes away when in landscape mode. (shown in pic)
Mybe u should refer this to the rom thread or read through the rom thread 1st. Coz mybe sm1 already suffers the same issues with the rom..

...That looks pretty sweet actually, garbled notification text aside XD
My big question is what could cause this even? I've nevrr even heard of this happening
Sent from my R800x using xda premium
No, no custom themes or any build.prop edits. But, could this be caused or fixed by a build.prop edit?

>that's your phone trolling you..
It looks like your pixel density is messed up all the small icons I remember messing around with it before and thats what it use to happen when I set it to high... I remember there is an app that can do that if ur rooted but the blurry notification don't know what could cause that

It was the lcd density. I went into rom toolbox and checked it. The slider was at the minimum. I raised it to half and rebooted. Problem solved. It also fixed the notification bar. Does anyone know the correct density to use?

You may have bricked it. Have you tried installing any rooms lately? Consider flashing back your stock firmware with "flash tool".
I have a stock device that has never been flashed or tampered with. Does anyone know what the flashing led mean?

Leave it charging. Sometimes the battery is too low to turn on. If not, try a new battery

Didnt u read.... I used another battery in it and it didnt boot, plus I tried my battery in another xperia play and it worked!!
If it's never even been rooted, then you should take it in for repair. Maybe a hardware issue.

Maybe if he researched but oh well, this what I have and sometimes it indicates a hardware component is damaged meaning find out what it is,
you should:
Go to your phone provider and ask them do NOT MENTION ABOUT ANY ROOTING OR BL UNLOCKING.
Find out what problem it has .
Or never use it again (Dont do it)
In my case the digitlizer "Screen" is broken, because back in march I used to boot my phone and the screen wouldnt sometimes work of course there could be another problem but...
Yea I realised I tried turned it on with the battery in the wrong way. I realised it didn't come on and when I fixed the battery right it still wouldn't come on. It just kept flashing the red light only when I tried to charge via USB or wall charger

Well, I'm not sure to 100% but try with flashing / installing another battery icon can fix it perhaps.

the same charging indicator is present in the settings menu... plus if it's just a ui bug it would have disappeared with the factory reset

Oops, if I remember correctly, ICS on Arc / Arc S didn't show when your phone was fully charged, it just continued showing the flash/battery charging icon even if it was fully charged. This problem is fixed in a lot of stock ICS based custom ROMs..

I know its been reported with jelly bean that the screen is unable to turn off normally and you have to push the power button to turn it off. Currently the only fix I know of is a reboot. Anyone with any other tips??
Mine works fine, did you flash any mods or some kind of lock screen app?

Yes, I'm on Wicked Sensations v1.2 right now. But i've read that a few people have been having this issue with JB. I just started using XDA so I can't post on the OP yet so thats why I posted here. Was just hoping for some feedback and opinions. I have flashed a few mods on it, but none seem to be the problem...i dont think. haha

I'm having the same problem
I am not rooted and running stock jelly bean (ota version that I installed early because I was too impatient for them to push it to my phone). I have noticed my screen randomly staying on, too. It's very annoying because sometimes I don't notice until my battery is dead. A reboot fixes it temporarily, but I'd love a permanent fix if anyone has any additional ideas! Thanks! I've tried all the obvious settings, but can't figure it out. Is there an app that can help me figure out what the culprit might be?
(And can I just say, an edit to a post ought not fall under the "wait five minute" rule for new posters. Just my two cents .)

Use an app called Stay Awake. Works great for me.
This may sound wired but it's true, when I rotate my phone to play any games or anything else the screen always rotates the opposite way it was turned so that my screen is always upside down unless in portrait mode and is quite annoying.
Any help is greatly appreciated

Did you flash a custom kernel not made for your phone (Verizon,T-Mobile,etc)? This is the only time I have heard of this problem.

Yeah exactly what he said. Flashing a Verizon kernel will do that.

You got it from Original Developement-Zeus kernal http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2207191, cause I also downloaded it and had the same video problem. I believe the kernel was ported from Verizon's GS3.
