If your phone stop responding or it hangs try to use the reset button at the back of the phone .there is a small hole near sim holder…it works for me ..hope yours too… 😉
I tried that after they told me the same thing at the service center yesterday. It worked… until this afternoon when my phone hanged. I tried it again, but it didn’t work. Even worse, now it keeps on restarting itself – like half way through the boot animation it goes back to the word “Sony”, and repeats. Occasionally, a green android lying on its back open with exposed circuitry and a red triangle appears when I attempt to boot into recovery.
