Xperia Tablet S shuts off during video and heavy use

Hello Sony Team,
Many users are currently experiencing random power downs during heavy use of the Sony Xperia Tablet S.  Typically this is seen with You Tube, multiple webpage surfing, and Flash playback.
Typically video corruption occurs just before this tablet powers down as seen in this user's youtube video:

We have all tried the following:
factory resets
warranty service replacements
ensured all updates are installed
We would love to see an offical acknowledgement of the issue and more importantly a commitment to fix the issue!
Listed below are links to other people reporting the same issue including a 5 page thread on your own Sony Support UK forum:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1904445
Until this gets addressed or even acknowlegded, we are owners of a $4-500 nightmare.  I really hope you guys can step up you support and impress us.
P.S. Why is there no support option on the Sony.ca website for the newer Xperia Tablet S?  I cannot even select that model.
Regards,
Daniel

Embarrassing to be holding one of these Sony Tablets!

  • MacBook Pro shuts off during video conversion/heavy CPU usage

    I'm not quite sure how to troubleshoot this, and I'm curious if anyone has experienced this, or has any suggestions.
    Whenever I do a video conversion, about 10 minutes in, my MacBook Pro just shuts off. Some examples of the kind of video conversions I'm doing are, exporting an EyeTV recording to iTunes, or converting a video already in iTunes to AppleTV or iPod/iPhone. Both of these examples are using Quicktime, I'm assuming?
    I did a clean reinstall of Tiger, and the problem was still there. And, after upgrading to Leopard, the problem is still there.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Could be due to overheating. Install iStat Menus, show CPU use, CPU temp, and fan speed in the menu bar, and start converting. If CPU use is pegged, fans are at 6000 rpm, and temp rises to/above 90 C, then your MBP shuts off, that's the issue.
    There are some early models of MBPs that had too much thermal paste, leading to excessive heat build up.

  • Sound shuts off during video

    Hi,
    I put three music videos in mp4 format on my ipod. Two of them play great (video and audio). The third one... the sound shuts off about 10 seconds into playing the video. How can I fix this? I used xilisoft dvd to ipod converter software.

    hi Kimmi!
    The third one... the sound shuts off about 10 seconds into playing the video.
    first head into your "about" screen on your ipod and check to see what software version you have installed on the ipod:
    Where's the iPod About screen, and what's in it?
    if you've got a 1.1, try upgrading to 1.1.1. see:

  • Acer S7 screen flickers during videos and when using Microsoft Office Screen is white

    Had my Acer S7-392 for about 9 months and it has a problem that i've not been able to resolve. - When on some websites or watching video's (embedded into the website like on Facebook) the picture flickers and is unwatchable. If you scroll so that a little of the video is offscreen the problem stops.- Also when using microsoft office programs the screen just goes white and I can't do anything without closing the programs via task manager. I've made sure I have all the right drivers. Intel sends me to the Acer website for the drivers and I have the most up to date of those. I have phoned microsoft and they say that it is not them and even when remote accessing the machine they cannot see a problem. I'm sure its a graphics problem as other than these two irritating issues the machine works fine. Many thanks in advance for anyones help.

    Hi, I don't own an external monitor. I can take the laptop to work and use one there. If I do that and the same problem happens what does that mean? If the problem is not repeated on the monitor what does that also mean? If I can't use a monitor what else can I do? Thanks. Tom

  • Battery shows over half charge then shuts off during use.

    iPhone 5 w ios7 shows over half charge in battery but shuts off during use listening to pod cast for example.  When placed on the charger it takes a couple of minutes then shows over half charged again. What's wrong?

    If you have tried restoring and all the possible fixes you are still well within your warranty period book a genius appointment and they will offer you a repair or replacement.

  • My 4s shuts off during use of map directions

    My 4s shuts off during use of map directions

    Shut down the app...
    From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
    Tap and hold any icon until they wiggle
    Press the red to delete the Maps app from this list.
    Press the home button twice when done.
    Restart Maps
    Also, try a reset... press the home and sleep/lock buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

  • Laptop shut off during hard drive reset

    My laptop shut off during a hard drive reset and now it says to do a system reset but I don't know what to do

    Sure sounds like a hardware problem to me. To verify that you would need to attempt to restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents using Toshiba recovery media.
    If you failed to create it, you can obtain it from Toshiba. Scroll down to Get Recovery Media here.
    For instructions, see the section Restoring from recovery media, which begins on p. 57 of the User's Guide.

  • Nano with Nike + shuts off during run

    In addition to the "activity stopped" issue which is driving me crazy, now my nano (2nd gen) just shuts off during the middle of a run. Not a battery issue. When I press a button, it comes back on.
    All of a sudden this is happening and is driving me nuts. Is my receiver defective? It's not a sweat issue, as I wear a belt clip.
    As for loosening, I always wondered by the Nike receiver doesn't have two little clips that secure the receiver to the nano, like the syncing cables.

    Hello
    I am having the same problem too! About halfway through my 4 mile run, a voice over comes on and tells me that my activity has stopped. This continues for the rest of the run about every 5 - 7 minutes. Because of this, my 4 mile run only logs as a VERY SLOW 2 mile run.
    What can I do to fix this problem? The plugin is not loose and my IPOD is not giving me a reading that the battery in my shoe sensor is dying. I can't call for technical support because it is past the 90 day purchase, but I haven't even had the Nike+Ipod for an entire year yet! PLEASE HELP!
    Unlike the original posting, my IPOD does not shut off - so I know it is not an IPOD issue but instead a Nike+IPOD issue....

  • My IPhone shut off by itself and I can't turn it back on. My lock screen button is broken and I tried plugging it into the wall but nothing happened. Can you guys please help me.

    My IPhone shut off by itself and I can't turn it back on. My lock screen button is broken and I tried plugging it into the wall but nothing happened. Can you guys please help me.

    IIf the battery was completely drained it might take some time before the phone will respond. Wait at least 30 minutes with the phone connected to the charger. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. If the phone starts up let it continue to charge until it's 100%.
    if the broken button will not let you do the reset Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

  • I updated my LG G3 this week and now it SUCKS!  When I'm connected to WIFI, nothing on Facebook works.  The photos and videos won't populate.  I have to turn off the WIFI and only use the mobile data. Not to mention, I really hate the way it looks now.

I hope it's soon.  I'm thinking of changing providers now.

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network      
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    Yesterday double clicked home button and all of my apps disappeared; cannot shut off i-pad, and syncing it does not restore apps or enable me to use it again. Help!

    See if this fixes things.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
