Xperia Z1 no power up

Could not turn on my Xperia Z1, don't know how it got in this state. Found that after I pushed and held the volume up button down and the then activated the power button, then did the same with the volume down button it restarted. Don't know if this will help anyone but was a big relief to me.

Power button+vol up should have worked.

  • Why is my Xperia C no power and not charging?

    I'm using it for almost 1 year with no problem unfortunately last night my phone shut off and I tried to charge it, but not charging. I'm so upset. What happened? could anyone help me on this? Badly needed. thank you!

    Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
    I suggest that you remove the back cover and use a paper clip or similar to hold the reset button down for 5-10 seconds. If there are no reaction, connect it to the charger and let the phone charge for 1-2 hours. If the battery is completely flat, it may take a longer time before the phone indicates charging or powers on.

  • Reset my tablet xperia

    Solved!

    To do a hard reset on the xperia tablet, first power it down.
    Then, press and hold "Volume +" for roughly 3 seconds.  While still holding "Volume +", then press and hold Power for an additional second.  
    Use "volume -" to arrow down to the factory reset option.  Press power to select this option.  Then on the next streen use "volume -" again to navigate to the YES option to confirm this is what you wish to do (all data will be erased).

  • Sony software update and google services

    Since today when I updated the Sony software I keep getting an error message tell me the Google services need updating. I click the link to play store and it doesn't give me the option to updated just open or unistall. Tried the unistall and after reinstalling still get the same message. Any ideas as it's driving me mad.thanks

    I do business trips most of the time. And I use my Z3's "Ultra STAMINA Mode" whenever I'm out for days to save on mobile power. After updating to Android 5.0.2, my SMS or Sony's default text messaging application keeps on crashing whenever I attempt to read my new messages and whever I will try to reply. Please have this fixed Sony. I've been your follower since the Z series started. And issues like this never happened. I trust that you can fix this. This is one of Sony Xperia Z3's power management functions/features that I am really using and maximizing. Please let me enjoy this experience again. Thanks a lot in advance. Anyone also experiencing the same?

    How to disable safe mode on xperia z1,power and volume button doesn't work

    Hi rafharum,
    Welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
    A simple restart to the device would generally resolve this issue, however if the power key and Volume key are not working they may very well be causing the handset to execute safemode when ever you power the device on.
    If this is the case, you will need to get the handset to a service agent for assessment. Please use the link below to contact Sony Mobile Customer Care directly.

  • Xperia Z1 won't power on

    Heya I was wondering if anyone could help me. My partner has a z1 compact. It had about 40% charge and turn off unexpectantly and it won't turn back on. I have tried pushing the volume up and power button but it does not vibrate no matter how long I hold them for. When I plug it on charge the red light comes on. It has been plugged in over night and the light is still on red and does not vibrate. When it's un plugged no light comes on at all. I have tried plugging it into my laptop but it will not connect as I have to authorise the connection by clicking on the phone screen. Can anyone help? Thank's in advance

    Hi,
    If you open the port for the SIM-card, you can find a red OFF button. Could you try to press and hold this with a paper clip e.g for about 5-10 seconds? Do this when the phone is not connected to any kind of power source to see if this can help.

  • I forgot pattern lock on my Sony Xperia Z1 and i need it back

    Hello,
    on my sony xperia z1 phone i forgot my pattern lock. I can't use the Forgot Pattern Lock because it uses Wifi conection which i can't connect to...(my screen is locked) I want to hard reset it somehow but i tried allmost every method on the internet but none of them were working I tried holding the volume up and these things....but as i said it won't work for me. Can anyone please help me? THANK YOU VERY MUCH

    In order to fix this you need to perform a system repair
    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 onscreen 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

  • Wifi problem after.4.3 update on xperia z

    Hi all,
    After updating my Xperia Z (C6603) to build number 10.4.1.B.0.101 I've been having connection issues with every Wi-Fi network.
    I've checked the forum but I only found problems about people having Wi-Fi issues with their smartwatch, I do not own a smart watch this is just a general networking issues.
    Here's the problem in detail:
    When having no Wi-Fi switched on while booting the phone the phone will start without any issues, I will receive my 3G/4G signal and I can browse, e-mail, everything.
    Once I switch on Wi-Fi it will start connecting to previously stored Wi-Fi access points but will not connect. Eventually it says that there was a problem with connecting, even though this will take several minutes.
    I can go into the Wi-Fi settings, select a different Wi-Fi network (if it is in range) and press connect, however the settings app will freeze at that point and eventually I'll get a notification that the settings app has stopped working.
    I have found a "work-around": I switch the Wi-Fi to on, power off the phone and power on again. Now the Wi-Fi connection immediately powers on without an issue once the phone has completely booted, it also will connect to the default Wi-Fi connection that is in range. A different issue appears however once I move out of Wi-Fi range, it will no longer pick up my 3G/4G signal. It is also impossible to switch off Wi-Fi or switch Wi-Fi network connections without rebooting the phone.
    As I said before this happened to me after updating to version 10.4.1.B.0.101 after having it received through OTA update. I do not have root access on my phone either so this can't be it.
    Is there anyone experiencing the same issues? Is this somehow related to the issues people are experiencing with their smart watch connections (as seen in this topic: http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Software-Updates/wifi-problem-after-4-3-update-on-xperia-z/td-p/490591...
    If there's anyone who is experiencing the same issues, or has found a fix for this I'd gladly hear from you.
    Regards,

    Imagery on a smartphone screen has never looked so real

    Xperia Z1 also includes all of the features consumers have come to expect of a Sony smartphone. It combines Sony's acclaimed OmniBalance design with premium materials and precision engineering in a slim waterproof and dust resistant smartphone (IP55 & IP58). A solid one-piece aluminium frame with tempered glass on the front and back ensures beauty and durability as well as a consistent viewing experience from different angles.

    Out of the box entertainment with Sony's media applications and technologies
    Xperia Z1 integrates PlayMemories Online3, a cloud-based image and video service that is integrated into the Album application. A new 'All Sync' feature enables users to instantly auto-upload all of their photos without storage limitation3.
    Sony's "WALKMAN" and Movies applications are also included and provide access to more than 22 million songs on the "WALKMAN" app through Music Unlimited and more than 150K movies and TV series on the Movies app through Video Unlimited2 from Sony Entertainment Network.
    Xperia Z1 comes with an incredible entertainment offer that includes five great movies plus an exclusive movie access pass to the digital release of Sony Pictures' summer blockbuster as well as a two-month free trial of Sony's Music Unlimited4 streaming service plus ten games from PlayStation Mobile.

    {GUIDE} Install ICS ( Ice Cream Sandwich) on Xperia™ Smartphones, Root and Downgrade to Gingerbread
    This post is for rooting 2011 Xperias. For 2012 Xperia See reply number 1 below
    How to root 4.0.4 (4.1.B.0.587 & 4.1.B.0.431)
    We cannot root 4.1.B.0.587 directly, so to root it we first flash 4.1.A.0.562 kernel, run the rooting toolkit and in the end flash 4.1.B.0.587 kernel.
    Few devices don't have their own 4.1.A.0.562 kernel, so we need to flash the 4.1.A.0.562 kernel of other devices just to root. However all devices have 4.1.B.0.587 kernel.
    Follow all the steps.
    Go to settings > Security > Mark  "Unknown sources"
    Settings > Developer options > Mark USB debugging
    Settings > Xperia > connectivity > USB connection mode > select MSC mode
    Download Flashtool
    Windows Users > Flashtool
    Linux Users > Flashtool ( From previous release tab, download 0.9.0.0 version)
    After installing flashtool, reboot your PC.
    1 ) Download the respective 4.1.A.0.562 kernel to flash
         Arc and Arc S  - Kernel
         Ray                -  Kernel
         Neo/Neo V      -  Kernel
         LwW, Mini       - Kernel
         Active             -  Kernel
         Neo L             -  Kernel
         All other users -  Kernel or even try the kernels for Arc S and Ray
    2) Go to C:/ Drive > flashtool > firmwares > delete everything present and put the downloaded kernel
    3)  Run Flashtool > click on the flashing icon ( left side below "file" option)
    Select flashmode > ok
    Setup should be like this > select OK
    Flashtool Setup Screenshot
    Follow the steps, connect your mobile and flash. Note: on devices with touch navigation keys, hold volume down key instead of back button while connecting your device.
    Flashtool may show error after flashing kernel, no worries. Even your build number and android version won't change. Everything would remain same so please don't visit phone's settings to check anything
