My X1 is dead

I have an unlocked Xperia
When I tried to re-flash the firmware through the sonyericsson update, it got stock at 10 %. Removed the cable, removed the battery and now the phone is dead.
It is even not starting not the three color screen - JUST NOTHING
Like a dead peice.
Tried the mtty but it is not recognizing - which is logical as the device is dead.
Any idea ?

Use the warranty.

I guess you are using Vista?????
If so, use a XP driven system and you will be fine again.

no mate
it was XP

oops. Sorry to hear.

For how long you used before re-flashing?
It was good or dis you noticed something out of the ordinary?
After re-flashing you still have a warranty?

I used for around 3 days.
I was trying a lot of localizing software - that is why I thought reflashing is good to choose one only.
I think that warranty is there - it is all SE update service which spoiled the gadget

Localizing softwares don't need reflashing, only a soft reset. Did you try a hard reset after the installations?

Hiya mate, try and run the Sony software update again, I doubt you have any luck though.
I had the same problem as you mate, mine stops at 11% no matter how many time I repeat the update (vista 32bit and 64bit)
I called up Sony technical support and apparently there is no replacement firmware, strange I know, Although Sony gives you the option to use the update service there is no update files to flash the firmware,
I was told the only fix for this problem is at Sony, all I can suggest is you send the unit back to your supplier, as they will hold a warranty, usually, for items found faulty within the 1st 30 days thw supplier usually ship out a brand new one rather than getting the unit fixed,
Or alternatively contact Sony support centre
Hope this help you mate, good luck

i think i read somewhere that someone did a hard reset and it worked...so try that...

I am 100% sure this is a vista fault as confirmed by SE, it also happens on XP64 ( occasionally ) your xp must be upto date ( not fully, just not pre sp2 ) - a hard reset will not work as the software has been wiped and partially over written so there is nothing to recover it from. but i assure you if your screen is saying 11% and the handset is saying 10% then it is a very well known fault which is easily rectified by using a xp machin with flash player, and a full battery.

xperia x2 problem

hi every one i just received my xperia x2 today. its very slow as compared to xperia x1. however sometimes (1 in 15 times)
problem 1: when i click on start the menu screen goes blank
problem 2: when i press start menu screen shows icons but when i scrol them up and down it gives distortion and leaves trails. dont know whats wrong but it only happens couple of time
all the above things happens only on start menu screen and not on panel screen
i just need some information regarding if its a software problem or something wrong with the screen cable.
plz help i am thinking to send the device back as its still under 14 days peace of mind days

even for the X2 these are both unusual problems... try updating the firmware just incase youve got an earlier version. check in settings then device information - it should be R1AA097. go to the sony ericsson website and find the X2 support page. download the firmware updater and update if it isnt.
theres also a small software update available here.
http://www.sonyericsson.com/update/locale
but if those dont work then send it back while you still can.

I have no experience with X2 but as a first approach I would try to connect it to SEUS to see whether firmware is up-to-date
here's also an app-to-date howto on youtube, maybe that gives additional insight
if that doesn't help you can still contact service or send it back
Ed. OK, too slow...

What's the update on this? My cousin also told me she had a very laggy X2. She has the X1, X2 and Iphone altogether. She'll be complaining the X2 tomorrow on SE Service Center.

x2 is disapponinting

annoying x10 issue !

My Xperia X10I has developed a hardware fault i belive , it started to rarely ,but suddenly shut down and reeboot and about 6-7 weeks or so and now it accours very often. When it reeboots it sometimes starts on a reboot loop sort of that can last for 30min and i have to take out the battery and turn it on again myself to have it reboot problerly , someties nothing helps . It seems that the shut downs accour when i f.ex browse the web or play a game that uses much of the devices cpu and ram . The issue has not been solved by the 2.1 update or beeing serviced at sony ericsson . the service log stated that they had just reset the phone and re-installed 2.1 and tested it ok.
has anyone had similar problems? this issue is frustrating

I too had the exact same problem with my X10. I took it to the SE service center, they told me it was the faulty motherboard that is causing the problem.
They replaced the motherboard and now my X10 is all working well.
I am sure its the hardware fault, take it again to the service center for repair.

Thank you very much i will tell the people at the service centre to put it under more load when they test it this time

SE replace my X2 with new one

Hello everyone,
thank you for the information that you share in the forum.
I want to help with my little experience.
(Sorry for the google-assisted translation)
I bought xperia x2 in May 2010 when it ships in Italy.
The phone was unusable with MR1 and MR2 with a bit better but still needed reset every 2 days and several problem (I'm not a power user, simply use the phone for my business).
The battery drains faster, user interface slow, Receiving poor, African temperature apparatus using WI-FI, many problem with navigon (lock after one hour and need reset) and lost many call.
I contacted SE support Italy after several complaints and many attempts they have replaced the phone with a new one by providing a new battery (life timer zero and battery in new retail box).
For a week I use the phone, it is not fast but it's usable, never reset, and does not heat the battery with a non-intensive use also comes on the second day without problems.
Now I do not know if I was lucky or if the phone was faulty or if they have uploaded a version of the latest software.
I read a lot of message online about this (very very bad product) product so I was thinking of selling it and return to my very old phone.
My advice is go to a SE official center and make a fully reload of the software.
Peraphs there is a software release or a procedure that we don't know.
Now I'm happy (for my use of course)
Are available to understand why now the phone finally works in all the facilities hoping to be useful to other users of this phone.
Thank you for your interest to my post.
