[Q] Screen Keeps Turning Off.

Hey Guys,
Every time i slide out the game pad on my Xperia Play r800i the screen turns off and I have to wait about 10 seconds until it comes on again.Sometimes I can see that the screen is still on but it is really dim and very hard to see and sometimes the brightness keeps changing.
I used PC Companion and Repaired the phone but it did nothing.
Please Help!!

Nothing happened to your phone, its normal. It just takes time to load the xperia play app.

No , When I slide it out the screen locks and I have it set NOT to launch the xperia play app.

So you probably have damaged flex cable. Be ready for giving your phone to the service centre soon.

i think youve water damaged your phone ... thats what happend to my freinds except its not that crazy .. sometimes it shows charging when its not and sometimes itll shut off for a day and nto turn on .. you might wanna consider replacing your battery (i think that might help)

As stated above, it sounds like water damage.
You may want to fastboot back to complete stock to check whether the problem persists. If it does, it's a hardware problem.

How can I know if my boatloader is locked? Or is it by default?

Turn off your phone and hold Vol +/- and power, this will boot you into the bootloader, at the bottom it will say bootloader status (locked/unlocked). Or when you turn on your phone and it shows the Google logo, there will be a lock at the bottom, if that lock is opened your bootloader is unlocked.

Ok thanks and another thing isn't it a way to receive the update officially?

Xperia S Dead

Hi !
The day before yesterday, I sensed the phone a bit warm in my pocket and when I picked it up, it was all blank, it was off. When I connected the charger, nothing happened..but after some time, the orange led lit up. I tried to reset it Power+vol up but didn't get a response. I tried hard reset power+volup down...nothing happened. As long as I connect the charger, the led turns on but when I disconnect the cable, the led turns off.
It never wakes up.
I tried Sony Service center but they won't accept my phone coz it wasn't imported by Sony India (I'm from India btw).
I think its a battery issue. What you guys think ?
Should I change the battery my self ?
Whats the battery Xperia S uses ?
This one ?

Should I get the above battery and replace it ?

Weird
It may have overheated

I suggest you investigate alittle more

What you mean by investigate ?
I mean, I tried connecting to PC & its not detecting it.
Or is there any special connection for debugging ?

Try this first
Plug in to charge and leave for and hour, if a red led pops up then your battey was dead
If that doesnt work then try
Put a rubber band around your xs holding your power button and your volume up
Make sure sony pc companion is installed
And after 20 mins
Take the rubber bands off and charge for about 40 mins
Open sony companion go to repair device in the support menu

I don't have an internet connection on my home pc
But yeah, I have Flashtool and .96 and .50 firmware (FTF).
Should I flash the .96 firmware ?

Try the rubber band then try charging
Then try flashing the 96 ftf

Ok, I'll try.
Thanks for the reply.

OK, I tried it but didn't work.
I charged the mobile for 1 hr. Its orange led lit up but after pressing the power button, it didn't turn on.
Then I put rubber band across the power button and vol up key for 20 minutes and then charge the mobile for another 20 and then tried to connect to the pc but its not detected. The green led won't turn on (no flashmode it seems) only orange led lights up.

Did you hold volume down when plugging into pc?

Yes, I did.
I'll try one more time and report back.
If its not succesfull again, I think I should remove the back cover and disconnect the battery and try again.

Screen died

I got my SM-P601 about 2 weeks ago, and it has been working perfectly since then, until last night. I left my note 10.1 with my father and left, when I got back, it was acting really weird. When I press the power button, you hear that sound that it woke up, but the screen doesn't power up until about 2 seconds later, it performs normally afterwards. Tried rebooting, no luck. It still gets weirder, so I leave it for an hour or so, when I try later, the screen no longer powers up (I don't know it's that or it has failed, crashed or something) but it is obviously powered up because when I press the power button, you hear that usual sound, and the same thing when you unlock it, I navigated through pages and even opened up some games, it's all working, except there's no screen, just plain black. The bigger problem is, I rooted it, so no warranty for me.

If you can get to recovery power+volume up , then wipe data & reboot .

I tend to agree, factory reset is worth trying.

Alright I'm gonna try that, but I'm gonna need help navigating through the menu. After I power it off, I press the volume up and power and release the power button after about 5 seconds right? (I can't tell when the samsung logo shows up). The thing I wanna make sure of, the factory reset option, is it the third or fourth option? I am not sure if it is the same as my GS4. The confirmation afterwards is the eighth option. Can someone confirm that?

It`s the fourth line " wipe data/factory reset.

Okay I think I successfully factory reset it. However, nothing's changed. The weird thing is, the touch screen is working, it is functioning properly and I can select apps etc... but I just can't see anything.

Just because your Knox flag has been tripped, does not automatically mean your warranty has been completely voided. Samsung is going to have to prove that your rooting the tablet is what caused the screen failure.
Were you running a custom ROM or kernel? If not, then there is no way I can think of that simply rooting the tablet caused the screen failure.
Now that's not to say your warranty isn't voided for another reason such as the tablet was dropped et al.
Just thinking outside the box... Did you happen to have Screen Filter or a like application installed at the time your screen went black? If so, someone may have adjusted the brightness setting to zero and that could be causing the problem.
Good luck.

I hope that's the case, can they even tell it is rooted without the screen being on?
To answer your questions, I haven't installed a custom ROM neither a screen filter app, I tried adjusting the brightness multiple times so one of the tries must have actually hit the correct place, still no effect though.
If nothing works, I think my only option is to take it back to samsung.

ya you should try samsung .at this point it wont hurt .just tell them screen went out and go from there. don't mention root .unless they ask.they will be able to tell anyway.this should be covered under warranty.good luck. let us know how it goes.

I had the exact same issue with this tablet.
The problem is that the backlight is dead.
If you look closely at the screen under the light, you'll be able to see some icons and letters.
In my case, Samsung did not cover the warranty because my device was not purchased in Canada and it was rooted.
I mean Canada didn't even have the device at the time.
Long story short, I did something bad to get my tablet "repaired".
But I blame Samsung for having such a crappy warranty service.

Yeah I think I'll just take it to them. I'll let you know what happens.

Just a wild guess but I suppose you could go buy a new one from a retailer here in Canada, swap out the faulty one for the new one and return it claiming it's faulty (I doubt any of them check the SN on the back and the one on the box match), or I guess you could even swap the SN on the box from the SN on the US box so it does match.
Not saying he did that, but it's the easiest way to get it "repaired"
Come to think of it you can do this for any tablet, even though this is downright fraud. So please don't.
