The normal operation of any smartphone depends primarily on the hardware and firmware. These two elements must be perfectly synchronized with each other so that your gadget can perform all the functions provided by the developers without any problems.
In this article, I will discuss the main problems that Sony Xperia smartphone owners may encounter, and possible solutions. I will emphasize in advance that in the event of a malfunction, it is best to immediately contact the service center for help from specialists in this matter.
However, for subscribers who prefer to troubleshoot on their own, this article should be helpful. So, if your Sony smartphone won't turn on, below you will find several ways to fix this problem.
Despite the fact that some Sony Xperia devices have a non-removable battery, Sony has provided several key combinations that allow you to simulate the process of removing the battery, which I will discuss.
Most often, the smartphone does not start due to problems with the firmware, which are solved by the methods proposed below. So, if you encounter similar problems, I advise you to do the following ...
A frozen Sony Xperia smartphone can be forcibly rebooted or shut down, and I recommend trying both methods. This requires:
- Press and hold the power button of the smartphone and the volume up button at the same time for 10 seconds.
- Your device should vibrate. Your further actions depend on whether you want to restart your phone or turn it off.
- If you need to restart the gadget: Release both buttons. The device should reboot.
- If you want to turn off your smartphone: Continue holding both buttons. After a few seconds, the phone will vibrate three times and turn off.
If the device does not respond in any way to your actions, try the following:
- Press and hold the volume up button.
- Then press and hold the power button of the smartphone without releasing the volume up button and wait about 10 seconds.
- Choose to force smartphone restart or shutdown.
All you need is a simulated battery extraction
This operation will force the phone to shut down and then restart. This is a great way to solve the problem if your Sony Xperia is frozen or locked, shows a white / blue / black screen and does not respond to your actions.
The way to simulate battery removal on a Sony Xperia is very similar to a simulated battery removal on a Motorola Atrix HD - you need to press a button decrease volume and on the button inclusion devices and hold them at the same time for 15-20 seconds.
If after 20 seconds the phone does not turn on by itself, release the buttons and try to start the device in the usual way - by simply pressing the power button.
For example, let's say your Sony Xperia is frozen or won't turn on. Just hold down the volume down and power-on buttons, count to 20 and if the smartphone does not respond in any way, release both buttons, and then press the power button, which works as usual.
On some devices, instead of the volume down button, you need to press the volume up button. Therefore, if the method above did not help you, then try to simultaneously hold down the buttons increase the volumeand turning on the deviceon 20 seconds.
If that doesn't work, please try again. This procedure should sooner or later restart the smartphone.
Tip: If your phone does not restart after several attempts, then try disconnecting it from the power source.
However, if all the above methods do not help turn on the phone, I advise you to contact a Sony service center for expert advice. Perhaps you are faced with a technical problem that you cannot solve on your own.
Hope this article helped you. If you have any other tips for solving this problem, share them in the comments.

Screen and camera tips

When you go to Settings\u003e Display, you'll see a Sleep setting that automatically turns off the display when it's inactive. The default is five minutes, but you'll probably want to turn off the screen earlier to reduce battery life. However, there are times when you don't want the screen to turn off because you are looking at it. What you need is a smart backlight control, which is also located under Settings - Display. Toggle the option on and your Xperia X won't turn off the screen while holding it.

If you click on the image, you get a side-by-side comparison so you can really see how each mode changes.

The physical shutter button on the Xperia X also allows you to focus the camera if you press the button a little. This saves you the hassle of twirling your smartphone to focus the optics or take a picture.
