Xperia p phone not starting

thanks for the reply mate!! However, i don't want to loose my data because there are some important content in my phone. Is there any way i can retrieve those data first and then do the factory reset/repair?? appreciate your quick response.

Try performing a system repair using PC Companion as this will often fix issues - This will factory reset your phone and erase all data
Switch off your phone and unplug from Pc (Hold volume up and power for around 10 seconds)
Start PC Companion and select Support zone then Update my phone/tablet then in Blue Repair my phone/tablet and follow the on screen instructions - When prompted connect your phone still switched off holding volume down or back button - This should start the repair or reformat process
If you are using Windows 8/8.1 or a 64bit operating system then adjust the settings for PC Companion and run in compatibility mode and chose Windows 7 or XP

  • Phone not starting on it's own - solution :)

    A week or so ago, I was trying to find out why my new phone (not jailbroken or second-hand) would no longer boot up on it's own and had to be connected to the computer to get started. I was given some useful tips including how to do a complete restore, first backing up all my apps. I did this but found I still had the same problem.
    Then I remembered that one of the apps also wouldn't boot up properly so I deleted it and did a re-sync. Problem solved!
    So it turned out to be one bad app (for Channel Nine News in Australia). So I gave them a bum app review and I'm posting this here in case other people have the same problem.

    Restore it as a new phone and do not restore your backup. If the problem persists with no apps and no email accounts set up you have a hardware problem and need to get it fixed.
    If this fixes the problem start adding your stuff back, but do not restore your backup as that will restore whatever has corrupted the phone.

  • Phone Not Starting after the battery was drained

    My Phone's battery was drained and when connected to charge the phone it is not charging. I have kept it for hours but When I try to start my phone it does not do any thing. I am not sure if it is charging or not. Neither anything works please help me with this.

    When connected to a power source hold down both the volume up and power button for around 20 seconds then leave it for around 2 hours then check - If this fails then unfortunately your only options are to either return your device to the place of purchase or contact Xperia care http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/support/contact-us/

  • Xperia U not starting/charging

    Since some days ago my Xperia U is not starting, i guess from not charging.Also the red/green led doesn't light up at any time. I tried:- removing the battery, for extended periods of time- charging for long times, i let it charge for like 2 days- charging with other chargers- flashboot or whatever it's called, with volume button down and/or up- repairing with PC companion app, but it doesn't recognize it Are there any other ways to make it work? Or is the battery/phone done.  I have to mention that something similar (if not the same) happened like 1 year ago.But i think the red led was lighted that time, for atleast 1 second.Don't know how i got it working, but after some days it started normally.

    Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
    Sorry to hear about your phone. I suggest that you try to repair/reinstall the phone software using Sony Update Service. 
    Download the program and follow the instructions to update the phone, you will connect the phone wile it is turned off:

    If the issue still persists, I would suggest that you have your phone examined by a service center. Please contact your local Xperia support team for more information:

  • Xperia Z won't start unless plugged in!

    Xperia Z does not start unless plugged. After plugging it, it does switch on, and once I unplug it, it shuts down and will not restart. Tried force restart and force shut down. When unplugged, Sony logo shows up n then nothing.

    Hi @RDr You can try to connect your device to a wall charger and then press and hold power & volume up for more than 10 seconds. Let it charge for 2 to 3 hours. Also you can try by plugging the usb cable as you hold volume down. Check these links: http://www.xperiablog.net/2015/03/17/guide-to-installing-xperia-lollipop-using-xperifirm-and-flashtool/ http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/FAQ/The-software-update-collection-topic/m-p/348066#U348066 http://support.sonymobile.com/global-en/

  • Just downloaded iTunes to new dell laptop, tried syncing my iPhone get an error message:  "this iPhone cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started".  What does this mean? I have had this phone for over a year..

    Just downloaded iTunes to new dell laptop, tried syncing my iPhone get an error message:  "this iPhone cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started".  What is the issue, had this phone over a year??

    I had this problem before. I like to disable extra services to speed up my computer and I disabled the Apple Mobile Device service and had to re-enable this.
    You can do that by going Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Services. Once you have gone to the services window, look for Apple Mobile Device and right-click. Select "Properties". There should be some information about the service as well as the label "Startup Type" with a drop-down menu beside it. If it says "disabled", that is your problem; Change the selection to anything except disabled (Automatic is easier and ensures that you can sync as soon as itunes opens).
    If this doesn't work, I would look into your anti-virus' settings. Good Luck!

  • ITunes does not start automatically when I plug in my iPHONE.  When I start it manually it does not recognize my phone although the phone is visible in My Computer.

    Itunes does not start automatically when I plug in my iPhone.  When I start it manually, it never recognizes the phone although it does ask if I want to download pictures etc.  Many albums have no art work that use to.  iTunes completely unresponsive to the mouse.

    Hi billm1013,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with your iPhone. If your iPhone isn't being recognized in iTunes, and/or iTunes isn't responding to your mouse when the iPhone is connected, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:

  • TS1702 i have erased my all phone contact list and then the message comes that it will be deleted with in an hour. but now my phone is not starting and only the apple logo appears on the screen. what should i do now..!

    i have erased my all phone contact list and then the message comes that it will be deleted with in an hour. but now my phone is not starting and only the apple logo appears on the screen. what should i do now..!

    That number is for an apple server in the UK that is used for iMessage activation.  A hidden SMS is snet to that number when you turn iMessage on and is used to verify your phone number.  I suggest you turn iMessage off.  In settings/phone turn on dial assist.  Check with your carrier to see if you can send an international SMS as you end that possibility to activate iMessage.  Rest your phone (Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost).) then turn iMessage back on.

  • HT201272 I would like to download previous itune purchases on my I-Phone 4.  Everytime I plug my phone into the computer it says apple mobile device not started.  How do I fix this?

    I want to download my previous purchases from my computer to my IPhone 4.  Everytime I plug my phone into my computer it says Apple mobile devices service is not started.  How do I fix this?

    Hello EFierro79,
    I find it easiest to download my purchases directly to my iPhone.  You don't even need to connect your iPhone to iTunes.  As long as you are signed in with the same Apple ID you used to purchase the items, you will not be charged.
    You can find the steps to do this under the section titled "Apps, Books, Music, Movies, or TV shows on iOS" in the following article:
