Wow, almost same happened to me. Got my phone for 1 day, had it in the pocket all night, was dead! Battery empty. Freaking phone.

To your problem, I can only suggest to do a SEUS flash since you did already a master reset and still doesn't work. Perhaps before you do that, you could enter Service Mode and test the screen there.

how do i do a SEUS flash?

Posted by: khmerfirexxx

I went into the hidden menu by doing this

In the Flip Closed mode, turn the Jog Dial one notch:

UP
Press *
DOWN
DOWN
Press *
DOWN
Press *

and I can test out all the functions.Well when i went to test the touchscreen it displays[I] Press the Jog Dial to exit[I]
Any ideas???

That's why you have to have the flip OPEN...you want to test the touchscreen

For SEUS you go to SonyEricsson, select your country, I suggest UK. Then check our the Update your Phone Soft/Firmware.

even with the flip open it still says press jog dial to exit

Yap, says the same on mine. Guess one cannot test the touch screen. So the only thing is to go to SE website and do the flash via SEUS.

Hope that helped.

Mine, was Battery FULL at 23h at night. In the morning, in only Standby Mode (nothing on = 3G off, GPRS off, IR off etc.) the Battery was down to 70% ! What a frecking phone! Imagine I use it actually... 1 day battery charge is pathetic.

If they don't come out with the new BST34 VERY soon, I think I retire this one very soon!

Back to my Z800i which is great too...still!

Heck, that's nothing. Ever try the MDA (HTC Wizard)? Can't even get througha business day w/o recharging.

I agree, the battery is pretty pathetic.

What is the MDA?

Posted by: shockdaddyd

It's a phone made by HTC. It has many names -- depending upon the carrier (MDA, Wizard, etc.). It's a Windows Mobile 5 device with a slide out keyboard that, IMO, is easier to type on than the P990's keyboard. That said it's not even close to being as sexy as the P990.

@khmerfirexxx

when you're in that screen that says "press jog dial to exit", play around with your stylus on the touchscreen. you should be able to draw thin lines.
