Blank Call Answer Screen - XPERIA X10 General

Every once in a while for the past month or two, when I receive a call, my X10 will vibrate and ring as normal, but the screen will be blank rather than presenting the caller ID and call answer buttons. Sometimes when this happens, it'll eventually show up, while other times I simply get a FC message regarding the phone app.
In the time since I first experienced this, I have upgraded my stock 014 firmware to 016 through SEUS via Rogers, and then this past weekend I rooted the phone to R2BA023, and yet it still happens.
I have disabled both Facebook and Twitter sync in the settings panel, and have tried changing my ringtone all to no avail.
Has anyone else experienced something similar, and maybe know what may be causing this?
I'm going to attempt some testing with various 3rd-party apps uninstalled, to see if it may be some sort of conflict, but I find it odd this has persisted through firmware updates and complete OS re-install (root).

Hi - Yes I've had this happen too.. not very often, but seems to be when I'm in the middle of doing something else.. Think it was when I was in Handscent SMS when it happened today.

Same it happen to me, i just beat on it until it blink up the damn slide. Which 9 out of 10, i will miss the call thanks to the stupid slide still being as slow as before the update.

OT (so apologies)... my swipe is super fast since the update... Are you running any task killers or anything.. (I'm not...)..

I generally do, but it still pisses me off. I have a feeling it's just SE's version of the phone app, but I can't be sure.
I'm using Phonebook 2.0 as an alternate contact manager, but calls still come through the default phone app, and I'm not sure if there's a way to change that without a custom ROM.

Yeah have noticed this issue sometimes. I am on generic R2BA020 uk firmware.
When the phone rings, the screen lights up but I cant answer cause the screen is a Blank blue screen for like 5-8 seconds. After which the slider pops up allowing me to answer. Never had this problem on the older firmware.
I dont use a task killer or handcent.

HELP! Messages not showing...

Hey yesterday i noticed a major issue. I was sending quite a few texts and in turn receiving quite a lot back. However after receiving about the 1st four messages they no longer began show up and my tone didn't go off. The only reason i noticed that something wasn't right is because the screen lit up and when i went to inbox there sure enough was an unread message- even though the screen never displayed a new message!!!
Today I'm still experiencing the problem...along with an obviously related issue. Ocassionally when i click on messaging it simply won't open and i find myself soft resetting the phone or turning it off and back on.
Obviously this is a major problem for me!...Please help me! Everything else is fine!
Oh and sometimes the phone randomly wakes up :/
bump!
i got the EXACT same problem, it is so annoying..
it shows no number of unread messages at the enveloppe on the today screen, however when you go in the message boxes there clearly are some unread messages, both e-mails and text messages..
is there ANY way to fix this? it's so incredibily annoying!
Have any of you tried removing some old messages?
I know I had some trouble with messages opening slow, but when I deleted a bunch of messages (and emptied the "deleted" folder), it worked great.
tried that just now with no luck, works on no other panel either..
I deleted my messages too and also uninstalled xperiatweak as ive heard this can cause problems...i havent yet had a chance to check the progress but as for the messaging tab opening up i dont seem to get that issue anymore *touch wood*. I
have noticed however that i get the occassional overload of device.exe errors and i mean overload...once one pops up about at least another 5 do! Even if i press send report or don't send report...it happens. I end up pressing the panel key :/ There are some definate bugs that need sorting.
Actually still no luck with xperiatweak gone...i got quite a series of device.exe errors and then after they'd gone i went to click on messaging and once again nothing happened...nor would contacts show! i think i may need to hard reset the phone!
megh i'd hate having to do a hardreset, don't want to lose my installed appz and having to install plus configure them again >_<
ive just done a hard reset...which i agree is a pain! But wow i forgot how fast the xperia is...i think im going to keep which apps i install to minimum and only install what i need. Obviously the error has been picked up from somewhere... What apps did you previously install? Maybe we have something in common?
torch button, mplaylist manager, neoFTP, pocket scrobbler, remote touch, skype, total commander, xchange r8, youtube panel, google panel, windows live panel... oh yea and tomtom7..
probably some stuff i left out due to them already being uninstalled.. maybe they left some traces in register i dunno..
pardon my french but f*ck this, i just did a hard reset too, will install the english rom too.. stupid dutch windows mobile.. (i know it's not the languages fault but it's an ugly language )
After hard reset...it has just happened again. I then thought it might be vistahide battery as come to think of it it didnt happen before that...been sending testers after getting rid of vistahide and everythin else ok. But i only have the new panels installed...no other add-ons now! So god knows!
Still experiencing this problem from time to time...very annoying! Hard resetted twice and no luck as such. It really is very annoying as i often miss messages if i don't see the screen wake-up Please...anyone know a solution or have this issue? Thanks
Bump .
Anyone?....
"zoelucker
Oh and sometimes the phone randomly wakes up :/"
noticed it happens whenever my mobile got a full bar 3G receptions... what about you guys?
Yes ive noticed a random wake-up and ive thought 'oh that must be another message with no sound grrr' then i look in messaging and no message...so wasn't that and was jus a random wake-up.
It is really starting to irritate me now and today my alarm didn't sound when it's been fine since i've got it! I wondered if the problem was connected? Do you think the new update (well not officially released yet)...the new rom or whatever would solve the problem? Please any light on this...the messaging one is my main problem because I can just set another alarm clock but for messaging...its what a phone should be able to do. Thanks.
Seems like there are few people who are experiencing this problem.
I have the same problem as you all are. I've tried emptying the message but no luck.
If hardresetting doesnt work, then the problem doesnt related to any kind of software we installed?
yea i hard reset twice so i know it doesnt
Its driving me mad now! Its the only issue i have with it and its a real shame because i love my X1 otherwise. Do you think the new FW will solve my problem?
I was receiving messages fine 20 mins ago and then 5 mins ago i got a random screen wake-up but thought it was a message that hadn't come through properly so i tried to go into messaging but it wouldn't open up....i tried everything. clicked it so many times. changed panels. nothing. in the end i had to soft reset the phone :S

Phone Calls

Is it my phone or what
when i get a call I feel the vibration and hear the ring tone about 4 to 5 seconds before the screen turns on so I could answer
Do they plan on doing anything about this?
You guys dont happen to have SMS popup installed??
I am having the same issue but don't have SMS popup. I do however have dxTop, Missed Call, a rooted phone, and my apps on my SD card. I noticed it some time after I got the last Missed Call update (when they changed the logo) and added dxTop. Do any of you have a similar setup? Maybe we can figure this thing out.
I don't have any of those apps installed and am experiencing the same problem.
I do have K9 and I get a wait/force close periodically.
I do have caller lookup installed though (because it's apparently very important that I don't let my factory warranty on my truck expire).
I'm using JFRC33 1.42 but I can't say that it didn't happen with previous firmwares, it just seems to be happening more often now. It hasn't happened in a few days though.
It really does seem like there's a combination of factors that cause the problem, I just haven't been able to notice the pattern yet.
I have not done a wipe either.

Hmmm... I have JFRC33 1.42 as well with the updated radio (1.22.14.11) and K-9 Mail which I too am having numerous force close issues. Maybe K9 is the culprit? Anyone else have K-9 as well?
I have the same issue and just got to the point where I had to remove my 8GB sd with apps to ext2, wipe and now I only have pretty much the stock apps, stock messaging, no sms pop up, 1GB sd with jfv1.42_RC33_MOD
just did it last night to see if it works fine now.
I'll post it as soon as I found out whether it works or not
so far the problem is GONE! the phone ring right away, shows the caller info as should be yeeeh!! am testing right now installing custom ringtones and missed call app, running missed call app is causing the phone to ring only twice and goes to VM right away, rebooted and everything is normal but no doubt that missed call is causing some unwanted actions in the phone,

how many apps you have? are you rooted? apps in the sd? lets find out how far can we go to resolve this.. I think is related to the amount of apps and the notification apps running, I don't have K9 tho..

[Q] Random Lockups after Voicemail fix

So I have been having issues with my voice mail over the past week. Sometimes it would work sometimes it would tell me I didn't have a mailbox on the server.
Today I called t-mobile and they went through all their steps to fix it. My voice mail started working again but now anytime I have any notification icon pop-up (text message, email, missed call) my phone lags really bad and about every minute does some sort of weird half reboot. Screen goes black, has to reload lock screen and all widgets just like when the phone first boots. I was wondering if anyone else had seen or heard of anything like this.
I am on stock JI6 firmware, stock kernel, with the four lock-screen mod, and the circular battery mod. I have not had a problem with either mod for the three weeks I have been running them. T-Mobile rep told me to factory reset my phone which worked for about 10 minutes then gave me the same problem again.
Any help would be much appreciated, I don't really want to go through the process of flashing with odin and setting up my phone another time.

Two possible bugs with JK6?

I Odin-ed the JK6 update and when i look under status, it said "unknown" under Phone number. Does this happen to everyone too?
Another thing i found is that the menu button's vibration feed back is laggy. Like i would press the button then it would vibrate shortly after. For the other three buttons it would vibrate upon pressed. Is this a new thing in Froyo? I dont recall Eclair behave like this.
Also, does anyone having battery issue with JK6? Mine seem to drain a bit quicker than when i was running JI6.
the leak is buggy,
let's just wait for the official one, it should be soon..

Mine shows "unknown" for the phone #. I'm running pure stock JI6, so this issue is not specific to JK6. I don't use key vibrate (seems like a battery drain to me) so can't comment on that.
Edit: I don't check this very often, so took a look and now mine is showing the #. I know it was "unknown" for a month or two after I got the phone at the end of July, but there was a period where it did show the #, then the JI6 update seemed to set it back to unknown. Now the # is back. No idea what would make it toggle like that.
I don't see why this is so "huge" that everyone mentions the Unknown under your phone number...? It doesn't affect anything. MMS isn't affected by this.
Anywho, Slight lag in the applications drawer though but it's very subtle and the issues with MMS picture quality (but hopefully that's fixed after Froyo is "Officially" released.
One more thing, last night I was on EDGE and pulled the status bar down to activate Wifi. It just said "ON" underneath it and didn't do anything, so I went into the settings and looked and stated "ERROR". Tried again to activate it and it didn't do anything, actually locked the phone for a few seconds then the phone started vibrating when I touched the screen. After that I got back to the Settings menu and activated Wifi again and it went through.. weird.
Otherwise no other issues I've run into.
Unknown number is not a huge problem as you can make/receive calls and text. Only thing I've run into is that you can't use the Verizon Fios Remote DVR app since it's tied to your phone number. That ws my only problem anyway.
Off topic, I've tried a lot of the customized ROMs and leaks. Seems I'm always back to stock JI6 which works great for me with the exception of it being a little laggy. Been trying the Voodoo lag fix on it but can't get it to work on JI6. But that's a completely different topic....
Going to stick with JI6 until the official Froyo comes out.
Can you guys send MMS? I get a server error everytime I try?
I have the Phone number unknown as well. My Home button is what is giving me problems. It is very temperamental. Doesn't work most of the time.

Can send and receive mms. quality sucks though as of right now..
Odin'd the leaked *untouched* ROM.
I just odin JK6 and I can confirm my does say unknown for phone number. One thing I have noticed is before if you used to volume rocker to lower the ringer, you then reach vibrate and then silent. Now the phone simply goes into vibrate, nothing lower then that.

Which I like, I never used Silent, only vibrant. I freaking bought the Beautiful Widgets for the button for Vibrant, now all I have to do is drag down the status bar and change it.
I think you can change the function of the button/rocker in the Settings.. as far as what it does, silent/vibrate
Not sure if its a bug, but at one point the web browser kept popping up an error saying there is no Internet connectivity, click retry or ok. I was on wifi at the time. A reboot cleared it out, but it happening was odd.
I was just wondering if it just me or it is the ROM it self. To me, if it said unknown mean there is some issue with the rom, not goin to blame anyone since it is not official.
I can confirm the volume rocker too, it goes to vibrate at the lowest. The silent from the notification just make the phone vibrate as well.
I did have some trouble with 3G this morning. Tried to get on navigation and it just say "getting direction" for a while. When i look back i dont have Edge or 3G icon, check in status it said GPRS. I rebooted the phone andgot 3g back. Kind of weird. I hope the final come soon....

Question Problems with some notifications

I'm trying to work out if this is a 'just me' problem or something that's affecting more people but has gone unnoticed yet...
Some of my notifications (in particular missed calls, sms, voicemail and WhatsApp messages) seem to be significantly delayed - they may not come through as a notification for hours. My record is 13 hours for a missed call notification. Meanwhile, I also sometimes get a glyph notification when there's nothing new in my notifications - I'm starting to wonder if these are actually real notifications that don't make it through to the notification screen for some reason.
A reboot of the phone fixes the issue immediately but it returns at a yet to be determined interval.
Has anyone else noticed this?
Loving the phone but the OS feels a little Alpha / Beta right now.
There was like few seconds delay when I was on OS v1.0.2 but after v1.1.0 haven't faced any such notification delay issue.

Updating was the first thing I did.
No-one else seems to have this problem so far so I'm suspecting it's a me problem and I need a factory reset... however, the thought of setting my phone back up from scratch AGAIN fills me with dread. It took forever last time.

yeah that's a tedious process to do again but seems like you should try it.
