(Q) Touch screen doesn't respond after restart

Guys, i'm having problem with my xplay. After restarting my phone, the touch screen doesn't respond, but the gamepad act normally. To make it work, i have to shutdown the phone, n place off the battery for about an hour. Place the battery again, n the touchscreen will work again. It will work well as long as i don't restart the phone.
What do u think the problem guys?
I don't intend to bring my xplay to sony service center yet. Since it'll take my phone being serviced for a long time

Doesn't seem to be a problem with battery btw try replace the battery if you know anyone having xplay ! Btw did you update fw or anything before this problem started ? Or did it start all of a sudden at random ?

I don't think the problem came from the battery, n i'm "very lucky" that no one use this kind of phone around me, so i can't test other battery.
This happen about 2 weeks a go. I still use the stock rom, n never did the flashing or the update thing lately.
I just think that the problem came from its digitizer, but still not sure, since it still work well once the touch work after replacing the battery about an hour n i don't restart my phone.
I intend to replace the part that break my self, but really need to know which part it is. Got confused

Well digitizers can give you troubles but this looks like more of a glitch to me !

I repaired the rom via pc companion this afternoon. Had no luck, the problem still the same. N when the touchscreen didn't work, i plug the charger n strangely the phone restarted it self. After restart, touchscreen still didn't work. So i place the battery off for about an hour, n touchscreen worked again. Damn!

What happens when you do a factory reset? Does it load into CWM?

you can access download mode so you can unbrick your phone
I think its not a hardware problem because you can see the lg logo
If you can access cwm menu , wipe user data and cash , then flash hono stock ics.
Then if the phone startup was successful check the hardware parts via hidden menu in stock roms.

Hello,
Guys i did the whole unbricking guide but still when i restart the phone it goes into grey screen when the phone start up even after flashing the stock ICS and the Gb(No i was not able to gain access to CWM). The phone goes into grey screen and wont start up to set the account but if i revome the batter for a few min i can start it back up and go through the google account set up. But after a while if someone called me in the phone i cant hear what they are saying and they can hear me, if i restart is grey screen of death again. :crying::crying::crying::crying:

Thank you drumist for looking into this.
No i was not able to get into CWM. I have to do the unbricking guide to ICS was not able to go to GB as i cant root it goes into grey screen after the phone restarts while rooting causing the root to loose connection with the phone.
Please help.

I have the same problem. This is a problem in the system board. When pressed at a certain point the phone can turn on. I think the problem is contact a BGA chip

Yes this is the exactly the issue i am facing day by day it gets worst. The whole thing started after flashing CM10 ROM. the small bsod you get leads slowly into this. Guys i took real good care of my phone it never fell down from my hand nor does it have a scratch on it. never over did the flashing part as well, my advice is stick with the stock ICS. My Nitro is game over i bough a new Samsung s3. just a word of advice dont over do your beta flashing. :crying:

Please advice i tried every thing in the book and did not pull though.

You need to check the power IC, and make reballing
I was treated to the service (good repair workshop), they said that one of chips was soldered askew.
I think it one of this - Qualcomm PM8901, PM8058 and PM8?7? I do not know exactly.

you might want to retract this statement if this issue is caused by faulty soldering and not CM10

Dear Friend,
i believe i am still right the BSOD now a days Laptop are common mostly HP, its Due to the VGA chip being BGA(ball grid array) they are chips with small balls with soldering underneath them used for comm between the chip and the Bord. but went to chip overheats it melts the solder underneath and when it cools back down the solder get solid it a different area(we moving the phone like taking out of pocket or so) which causes lack of communication between chip and board(when they are back solid) it causes BSOD. I believe the Graphic chip in NITRO HD is using the BGA tech(It makes sense) so if our phone overheats too much the chances of De-aligning the solder in the chip is high cousin BSOD. We all know CM10 at the early stages caused overheating while in black screen coursing huge power drain in battery(we have stigmatic data with the help of battery analyst app).
So summer Nitro HD = BGA , CM10= overheating, Overheating=Bad for BGA(Causes BSOD) so overheating Nitro HD causes BSOD there u have it. i case if the phone really overheats while its in your pocket of in a uneven place and the solder goes out of place then you are in trouble like me.
Solution= Re balling or heat gun(temporary) Can FIX it.

So it's pm8028 near mdm9200

I got the same problem last weekend. I woke up and found the screen on and no sound from alarm clock. I checked and the phone got no sound at all.
I restarted the phone and got the gray screen. Late at the day the phone boot again but after another reboot it got the gray screen and never recovered.
I use CM10.1 and wind kernel with no overclock.
Too bad I didn't find any shop that reball the chips so my phone is dead
I got a i9305 today to replace it.

cn you fix the re-ball?

Can you enter recovery mode? If yes, do full wipe then flash your ROM.

Make sure the phone is fully charged before you try to boot it up, if it is fading out after the logo splash screen it either sounds like a dead battery or a badly flashed rom. You can enter into recovery by holding the volume down and pressing and holding the power button till you get prompted to wipe the phone.
I have had a couple of grey screens (or "black" screens) which I was able to recover from, simply by making sure the phone was powered off, then fully charging the battery for 4 hours, then booting into recovery and flashing a different ROM

ok... will attempt to reload

[SOLVED]Xperia ion froze.. Cannot restart

Hiii, may someone help me please!! >_<
I don't know why my Xperia ion froze!! And the screen is blank...

Is the data on the phone gonna be deleted?

Yes, data on phone will be wiped unless backed up on sd. (so contacts, games, apps, setings: gone)
i have had the same problem as you before

3. Charge your phone until you get at least 50%
4. At this point - you should be able to flash your device - following normal flash procedures

I think you need to take it to a service center.
(Wait a bit because I am not exactly the biggest pro out there)

The motherboard will cost you anywhere from 8-30€

But evaluating the z1 prices.... It should be about 15€

I had that problem once and someone suggested leaving the Phone connected to a power source for a couple of hours and for me after a few hours it finally started to charge. Maybe it could work for you aswell.

Service center replaced MCB for my phone but the strange issue I am facing is with my phone charging. Sometimes it will charge and sometime it won't. Took to service center and there is was getting charged properly. I have tried different chargers so know for sure that it is not a charger problem. It can't be hardware problem as well because the phone do get charged sometime.
Any help?

My XMD is also dead from past few days

I think it will cost you about 30€ (approximately 20-25£, 33-40$).
Correct me if I am wrong.
But weird seems that many xperias are dying...

Guys, a similar problem happened for me. I flashed an official Cyanogenmod nightly, but whenever I turn the screen off, after 5 minutes or so, the device wont turn back on. I have to take out the battery and boot it. Holding down the power button to hard-reboot it doesn't work either.

Thursday given to Sony Centre. Today they called me and mentioned that it'll cost INR 5100/- to repair mother board . I told not to repair then). I plan buy a new phone for 6-7K . Such a costly service from Sony for such type of crap device. I'll never buy an Xperia.Counting days for the second XMD.
What do you think, can it be repaired by grey market local mobile repairing center?
