sony xperia e5: Xperia E5 stuck in boot loop

Tue, 25 Feb 2020 05:50:09 -0700

Hi! My Xperia E5 has been stuck in this awful boot loop for days now. I have no luck with the hard reset and I've already unplugged the battery (and plugged it back on w/ no hitches) but it still goes into the boot loop.

My alarm was going off, battery about to be drained (it had 2%) when it died. Charged it for 20% then turned it back on, only to encounter the boot loop.

What do I do? Thanks in advance.

sony xperia e5: black screen but reacts to touch

Thu, 21 Jan 2021 08:16:10 -0700

Hey, I needed a new microphone on my Sony Xperia E5 because it was broken, so I took the mobile apart, changed it and then put it together. When I pusched the power button it turned on but the screen was still black. The phone reacts to touch, charching works, sounds work. It is actually not totally black, in a dark room I can see whether it’s off or on. And also there is a small stripe of white light in the top of the screen. Does anybody have any idea what the problem could be?

Thanks.

sony xperia e5: Why does my Phone storage keeps filling up?

Thu, 09 Mar 2023 11:51:16 -0700

A notification will pop up saying my phone's internal storage is at 95% capacity, yet I have almost nothing saved on my phone except documents. Why does this happen, also how can I effectively free up space?

sony xperia e5: No network signal after charging board replacement

Thu, 12 Dec 2019 10:26:44 -0700

Hey there. I recently replaced the charging board on my E5 due to microphone failure. I used the newly bought part to to this. I followed all disassembly steps shown on one of youtube videos. Unfortunately, after replacing the part I found out that there was no network signal. When I put the old part back in, the signal was back on but I lost it again upon inserting the new board again. I thought maybe the antenna wasn't connected properly, connecting it to the new board was quite harsh, contrary to the old board where it snapped in smoothly. However, after inserting the old board back, the signal wasn’t there and now there’s no signal at all no matter which part In connect. Any ideas on what would be the problem? The microphone and charging port work good on the new part.

Sony Xperia E5: SIM card inserted perfectly, but no signal

Thu, 18 Jan 2018 07:52:12 -0700

At first, I thought that my patchy signal (no 4G, have to retry sending texts 3 times before they actually send, no calls work) was because of my provider (Tesco), but I asked them what it was. When they said to swap the SIM with another phone, my SIM worked perfectly, but the signal on my actual phone did not. I've restarted and reinserted my SIM countless times. I have literally no idea how to fix this. There isn't water in the compartment, either. Any ideas?
