I just got my Play this afternoon and when I turned it on the Sony Ericsson logo flashed upside down for a second and then showed normally. Is that something that happens or is there something wrong with my phone? I dont notice any problems with it, its just kinda worrisome.
Also, I love the phone, so as long as it isnt affecting anything else I probably wont send it in. Im just curious if this is normal or has happened to anyone else. Like I said, everything is stock and it did this right out of the box from ATT. And it is not a refurb unit, its brand new.
Thanks for any replies.
This is probably due to corrupted boot animation. However, u can fix that if your phone is rooted by replacing the bootanimation.zip

OR by reflashing which wont void your warranty if done through Sony Ericsson Pc Suite (go to update and then click repair when the option repairs to do so) or you can use Sony Ericsson Update Service
Awesome, thanks for the replies guys. I'll probably get into flashing roms and rooting after a while, I want to screenshot and I need root for that so it wont be long.
You dont need root for screenshots, Sony implemented this in. Version 2.3.4 , hold the power button to do this

I was thinking maybe they did since my LG Thrill had the feature, I tried home and lock and home and back and just figured it wasnt in the build. Thanks for the info, Im learning all over the place today!
Hi,
Recently my xperia arc s got into water and started to show blank screen.
I dried it up but still no luck.
I opened it up and started removing parts one by one until the screen showed up when i removed the camera part.
However the system ui does not start and always FCs.
I have tried multiple systemUI -serajr, Sxperia Z system UI , stock UI, but all crash.
Can any one let me know how to make it work.
I am currently using Xperia HD 3.0.2 rom and willing to switch to any rom as long as my phone works.
Thanks in advance
First of all, just let it dry for couple of days (3 is the very minimum).
Second, don't open up your phone into parts. Just take out battery and leave the phone itself to dry. Opening up the phone can causes some other issues, if you even accidentally make a tiny mistake.
Third, if you have firmware issues, always flash back to stock firmware with either Flashtool or PC Companion.

Well it was working but then suddenly went to blank screen. That's when i suspected some part got fried.
BTW I have got the systemui FC problem solved.. turned out the flashlight feature(which needs to connect to camera) in quick panel was throwing exception and crashing the systemui.
Just disabled it and all works fine now..
Can anyone let me know where i can get the camera module for xperia arc?
Ok, so half a year ago i used my xperia arc for a couple of minutes, locked it. And then when i was about to unlock it just 2 minutes later the phone started vibrating, the slide to unlock button was blinking and the lower part of the screen was not responding to my touch.
I could however unlock the phone by swiping my finger from left to right about 2,5cm higher than the swipe to unlock button is located.
.
I delivered it to service and they told me it was water damage to the motherboard, and that i had to get a new phone. (I dont think its water damage, since the water sensors where triggered when i lost the phone in the snow half a year before this happened, and at the time the screen malfunctioned the phone had been dry for ages)
I now own a iPhone 5, but it would be nice to have a phone i could use when in dangerous situations, camping in the forest, skiing etc.
Now i have tried to connect my Arc to the pc and opened up pc companion, but i have lost the SIM card a long time ago, and i can not enter the unlock pattern on my phone due to the weird screen, so i am not able to troubleshoot the phone via that program.
So i was wondering if there is any chance for me to rescue my phone, either it is software or screen replacement i need.
(If a new SIM is needed for troubleshooting i can just go to the store and get one)
I can also upload a video of the phone if that would be to any help.
Edit: Seems like every time i touch the upper/middle part of the screen the lower part of the screen also registers my touch.
Thank you for helping me out with this troublesome issue.

Use the youtube video feature on the forum.
Take the video code and put it between youtube tags, for example
If video's link is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmvCpR45LKA, then the video code is everything after =, in this case it is
JmvCpR45LKA
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So you have to put it between youtube tags, like this
Code:
[ YOUTUBE]JmvCpR45LKA[/YOUTUBE]
(Remove the space between [ and Y, I removed it to show, how it works.)
Then it appears like this
This was just an example. Post your video by the same method.
Have you tried flashing stock firmware?
From what I think this is that somehow ur screens size has been reduced in the system, bcuz if the screen would have gone bad u wudnt be able to unlock it from 2.5cm above the actual place
But this is just me guessing a reason
I suggest you flash stock firmware using flashtool, or use repair option on PC companion
There are many guides on xda to use flashtool

Ok, so here is a cropped clip of the phone, at about 01:00 i managed to unlock the phone, but as you see that does not help me...
Sorry for awkward camera handling

Hello guys, I need your help.
Today, out of the blue, my wife's ION (lt28at) touchscreen stopped responding. The phone boots just fine (perhaps a bit slower than before, but that's my appreciation), messages are received, apps update automatically, but it doesn't respond to touch. How could it happened? we were just arriving home from a running workout, we were sitting on the porch and the phone rebooted on its own, after that it stopped responding to touch.
Now I've got a very sad wife, very little chance of getting a new device (the market in Venezuela is very restricted and limitative), and no clue as to how to fix it.
Please if any of you can help me here, it will be most appreciated.
Edit: Forgot to mention. the device has its bootloader locked. Firmware updated to ICS 6.1.C.1.111. Rooted (probably about 9 months ago).

Try taking a backup of data and re installing the software using Sony PC Companion.
Sorry for the lack of response. As suggested I tried to repair the firmware via Sony PC Companion. No success there. Looks like somehow its some piece of hardware malfuctioning.
I'm going to try to open the device and see if something is out of place. I'll post what happens then.
my device -->>Xperia S
same thing happen with me after shutdown when i turned it on back(pressing power to ON)
the phone was slow and after 1 or 5 min touch screen not responding...
so i tried switching off but touch screen was not working so i opened by phone backpanel with screwdriver
after that i took out the battery and placed it back.
then again i turned it on after that everything was fine my touchscreen was working good..
i dont know its was my luck or something ..
PLZ dont open your phone if you dont Know..!!!
Hi guys , i have an xperia zl and a week ago i updated it from android 4.4.2 to 4.4.4 i was using my phone as a hotspot in the past 4 months and always connecting my phone to the charger.
4 days ago i opened a game and the phone suddenly turned off , i turned it on and left it and 2 days ago i opened the same game and it turned off again so i decided to delete the game but yesterday the phone kept turning off every time i use it and when i try to turn it on it won't start unless i plug in the charger.
i tried to flash a new firmware using flashtool but it stuck on flashing data(see the attachment bellow )
i tried another computer but the same problem and SUS says that i have the latest firmware.
so i took it to a repair center (there is no Sony service center where i live) and the man said " it needs a new software but Sony's website is off right now and i have to wait 2 days until the website backs to work " :crying:
so what do i have to day ? how do i flash new software ?
Excuse me for my English
Thanks in advance
