X10 mini pro restarts randomly?!

Sun, 17 Apr 2011 13:59:39 GMT

Hi SE-users

I've had my SE X10 mini pro for 5-6 months now, and it keeps restarting. It is like the phone restarts more and more often. I couldn't seem to find any other thread about this problem with X10 mini, only about the phone restarting when it is connected to a computer, but i don't have that problem.

....This is quite annoying, cause people can't call me after the phone has restarted.. i don't normally notice that it has restarted, so there often goes hours before i find out that people has been trying to contact me. It normally restarts about 1-3 times every day.

Have anyone else been having this problem with the X10 mini/pro? and possibly found a solution?

by the way.. sorry if my english is bad.. I am from Denmark soo:)

Hi, have you done any Software repair on your X10 mini pro?

Most likely it's a software issue. Try repairing phone software or update to latest version (if available).

When I first bought my Xperia Mini it restarted every 2 minutes, and would not make calls or connect to a wifi network! I went back to the store and they did a software reset. Then it seemed to work fine, but I wanted to see if it could connect to a wifi network, so we tried that, and what do you know - the resets returned.... so they had to replace my phone and the ne one works perfectly. If you still have a warranty I suggest you simply replace the phone. If not, I'm afraid you're screwed.

I have similar issues with my phone, and they keep returning even after reflashing the device (I even tried clearing the SD card at the same time once).

The phone has good days and bad days. Last thursday and friday it restarted at least 20 times over the course of those two days. I could see it restarting now and then while it were just laying there next to my laptop. And sometimes it can go days between reboots. It's not clearly linked to how much I use the phone either.

Issues I have other than spontaneous restarts of the phone are restarts of the phone app, or homescreen. Or some aggressive memory freeing action making my phone have lots of free RAM, but not allowing me to keep apps started for more than a few seconds.

I do not have many apps installed (you can't really have that many with the limited internal memory).

One time recently, it even looked like it was working and had a signal, but I could not start the dialer. Trying to engage Airplane mode to force a reset failed, and I then tried shutting it off completely. That failed too, and it ended up with me having to yank the battery.

As soon as I find a temporary replacement phone I will have to turn this phone in and see if there is anything they can do. Replace it hopefully.

I guess you are right, you have no other options but to turn your phone in for a 'checkup'.

Good luck!

Mine is doing the same but I think I have it figured out.

This only happen to me when I have wifi active and the signal in my home network is weak. If I turn off wifi it works without problem and there is no problem when I have it active and I have better signal.

I am using a wifi laptop at the same spot in my house and after installing some software on this laptop, I can now predict in what areas of my house, my X10 mini won't function properly.

Hi mpd10

I have the same issue with my x10 Mini Pro (first edition). I have updated the Android software, but it doesn't fix the problem.

The phone reboots randomly. A few times it has happend while I was writing a message or using the phone, but mostly it happens when the phone is in my pocket or on my desk. I can then feel or hear it rebooting. After the reboot it works fine again.

What did you do to fix your problem? I suppose it's a hardware issue, and I have to send it in for repair?

(I'm from Denmark too, by the way...)

Hi i Have the same problem. I have bought sony ericsson xperia x10 mini pro in the month of May 2011... After upgrading to 2.1 android i use this mobile for 2 months without any problem. Then started my days of misery.. My mobile restarts when m trying to make call or when the network is poor and when i take photo with flash on in camera.I had taken the mobile to sony service center and they reinstalled 2.1 android but the problem sustained. I had given to sony ericsson service center and waiting for the mobile to get repaired.. but now its 37 days since i gave the mobile for repair..

I recommend Dont buy sony ericsson mobile...

my Xperia X10 mini pro really sucks....

Please stay away from sony ericsson..

Service Centers are providing Worst service you have ever experienced in your life
