Hey guys!
Long time lurker here decided to post something because I wasn't getting much help elsewhere. Also since E1 doesn't have a sub-forum I guessed this would be the place to create the thread.
So the problem with my E1 is that is reboots absolutely randomly for no reason at all - even when I'm not using my phone or doing anything that's resource/hardware intensive.
Have any other E1 user been having this problem? Any ideas what could be causing the problem?
I tried contacting Sony Support but all they could tell me was general stuff like don't stress your phone and install fewer apps on it but that doesn't actually help. So... any ideas?

There is not much you can do actually.
Probably a kernel fault.
Switch to another firmware maybe?
But ummm....

I'm sure that requires the phone to be rooted. And the E1 doesn't have a working root till now at the moment AFAIK. Also am on the latest firmware build from Sony - 20.0.A.1.21 - so I can't go higher than that...

Removing apps won't help.
but you will need a kernel to flash[which requires unlocked bootloader]
As far as I know,random reboots are caused by kernel only.
Btw,you can disable all the unwanted apps. Might help a bit.
Till you get root,only thing you can do is keep messaging sony regarding this.
Also,don't forget to ask them whether you'll be getting updates.
Oh well...

*sigh* I suppose that's all I can do then. I've tried disabling apps and uninstalling unnecessary ones when Sony Support suggested it. Didn't help. Random reboots still occur. I wonder if I'm the only E1 user with this problem or are there others too?

I don't really think that will help.
Because repair should be done when there's damage.
And Xperia E1 has no root,so technically no fiddling with system and hence no damage?
Been there done that

No... I've tried that... and also factory resetting and hard resetting... Uninstalling everything etc etc. Device still randomly reboots. On some days it will run fine 2 days straight and then on some days it'll restart 3 times at the very least.

Definite kernel problem. Roll back to previous update if it helps? ( if you have it, BTW I read somewhere, e1 will be getting 4.4.2 update )

Yes it will. But knowing Sony and the fact that the E1 is quite the budget phone, I doubt updating it to 4.4.2 is at the top of Sony's priority list.
I'm not expecting one until late June or July at the earliest.

Hi,
I've decided to make a thread since I can't resolve this on my own.
Device is Unlocked, S-OFF, and rooted.
Since I rooted my DS, I've tried lots of different roms. CM, JFB, PACman, ViperVENOM... they all work (to an extent - some better some worse)
but I cannot seem to get a single MIUI to work. I've tried so much as 10 at least. Some were official, for my device, some were custom.
They all have similar problem:
getting stuck at welcome screen after instalation (the "MI" letters)
please help me to solve this
... looking forward to a reply

AFAIK you need a hboot with a separate /system/lib partition, i.e. a hboot whose version number starts with a 7 in your case.

You seem like you know what your doing so I have a crazy question you might be able to answer
I have recently bought a xperia z2 tablet (SGP511 - 17.1.2.A.0.314) that came with 4.4 kitkat. Do you think it would be possible to put 4.3 on that and if so would you know which one would it have to be?

My first android experience was my xperia m2. With a bit of playing about I rooted it (using towelroot), installed super user, xposed, donkey guard and a bunch of other modules. As you can imagine for someone who is a novice and has no clue about coding, flashing, roms, ftf's, bootloaders, fastboots, anything like that. So I was quite pleased with myself that I could block permissons with donkey guard, and the look of my phone with gravity etc....
All was going well when I kept getting a "You have a system update" message telling me that a system update to 4.4 is now availible. So I allow it to install but it wouldn't work. So I figured that its because the phone is rooted, so I did a factory reinstall, flash whateveryou call it using sony pc companion. Once finished I tried to root again using towelroot but that didn't work, so I hunted all over the net to find a way of routing the m2 with 4.4 but wanted to avoid unlocking the bootloader as everything pointed towards that not being a good idea if you don't know what your doing. Nothing that I have found so far I can understand. So thats why I am wanting my old 4.3 back. I Was happy with it, but when I use pc companion to flash, it keeps putting the latest 4.4 software on.
As far as the tablet goes, I bought it a few weeks ago and as you know they come with 4.4 as standard. i quickly found a 1 click root method, rooted the tablet the installed superuser, busybox, then xposed and donkey guard etc.
I activated donkey guard and other modules in xposed and restarted etc.
I found that donkey guard would not work, nor would most of the other modules. One more thing that I found was that whenever I would shut down the tablet it would boot straight back up again and had to use the force off button next to the sd card to turn it off. So I flashed it again and went through the whole procedure again thinking that maybe I hade done something wrong, but got the same result. I did find out though through ellimination that the shut down issue was being caused by donkey guard being active, so if I deactivated it in xposed no more reboots. I thought that theproblem was with donkey guard and went though the donkey guard forum, but later dicovered that other modules are not working too. So I am not sure if the problems the tablet, 4.4 software, xposed, or something totally different, but all I know is that I was happy when everything worked on the m2 with 4.3, hence why the downgrade (if I can do it) of the M2 and not sure what the hell to do with the tablet.
Please let me know your thoughts
All the best

I can't help you with your tablet.
For your phone download 4.3 CE as recommended above, it's a good one. I did that a couple of weeks ago and I will be sticking to it. The main disadvantage is the 4.3 camera.
Get xperifirm. Download any rom you like for your phone to your hearts content. It's really very easy.
Secondly, regarding root for 4.4, has anyone tried rooting on 4.3 then just letting update centre update the phone ota? It has worked for me on every Xperia I've had.

Hello. When i flashed lollypop i had almost at all times 1Gb free ram. For some reason during last few days i am having only around 200mb. What happened? How can i check what system things are taking up so much memory? The settings in lollypop only show usage for user downloaded apps. I have tried restaring phone and closing all apps using some app closers.
Another issue came up. The home launcher, original one. Now restarts itself each time i leave some demanding app like chrome. Really annoying. It also glitched out a bit due to massive loss of ram for unknown reason. Anybody has any ideas what to do?
Im completly stock, no root, no custom rom or recovery. Locked bootloader and everything stock. No tamper flag.
Are you using the release version or preview/custom ROM? I have no issues personally
Yes this is a big problem for many. Check it out here.

'Stock' can still be the preview build, always best to clarify the build you're on, e.g. LRX21O (the factory image)
That is the exact one i have LRX21O. Sorry for the lack of clarification. Really forgot to mention the build number.

I had a hell of a time downgrading back to Kitkat from Lollipop. Now I keep getting the Tegra OTA update notification. Is there anyway to disable this? Freeze or uninstall?
Freeze doesn't seem like a bad idea... well, if you mean Disable the process you're seeing. I'm still a little wary of Freeze after it bricked a friend's tablet.

Boot your Android in safe mode.
If your Android is not restarting after booting in safe mode then their is third party app that causing random reboots.
Find and remove that app and see problem resolved or not.
Also try enabling developer options and getting the LogCat error-logging. It might be possible that something got corrupted and is causing a lockdown. Try filtering the log for Intent.ACTION_REBOOT maybe.
