After performing hard reset like my previous reply, but the phone still problem, then it is recommended to bring your Sony Xperia J to nearest Sony service center.

By doing hard reset, you can make sure the phone is ok or not. Please remember, do not install any Google Account after finish performing hard reset to avoid automatic restore for installed applications. Try to use it (play with default applications, take picture, and other activity) for about several time, and you can determine about the problem.

I’ve tried bypassing it but the only bypass methods I can find appear to be for the American version or something as they have absolutely no effect on my device. I found this site and tried the Hardware key method, but I’m getting no effect. The phone just boots up like normal and I’m back at the pattern lock screen. Can anyone help?

  9. hi, i’ve format my phone but then i cant use the mobile data. and all the applications are not up-to-date. how can i update them and use the mobile data?

    Reply
    • Hi, at normal conditions, doing master format will make all setting back to the default. We assume that your GSM simcard is working, then the problem can be happen because the APN setting from your Sony Xperia J has already wiped as well. That is why you should try to make sure the APN of your Network provider already setup properly. See from Menu Setting > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names. If you are not sure about that, you should consult with your GSM provider contact center.

      If your phone does not connect to Internet then all applications and data will not synchronize and will not up to date. If you are need to synchronize without GSM provider, then you should try to connect your Sony Xperia J with available Wifi near your locations, once the Wifi connected to Internet than all applications can update again, in some case you should open Google Play Store applications, and choose My Apps and press Update All button.

  10. I’m using Xperia J,Camera quality is very poor in dark areas.Have u any upgrade version for camera,Very poor camera…

    Reply
    • Hi, basically the camera specification at Sony Xperia J is not too bad. You can get good pictures at good light situations. If your location light is so low, then you can use build-in LED flash that already available at this phone. If your camera quality still dark, try to get in better light situation or at outdoor for getting better images. If you have already done some setting at your camera application, then you should reset it to default setting at your camera application and try to get the pictures again.

      Reply
    • Hi, the LED light color at Sony Xperia J will be turn on when some trigger happen. The different color will tell something like low bat or some message already received at this phone. Try to turn off your phone and connect it with charger, the LED color will be display one color while charging and will be change the color after battery full. We also worry that you have ever installed some LED light test or LED control when some applications received notification, this also can make your LED color at phone act not normal, please find out that applications first. If you can not find out the problem, then you should consider to do hard reset, but please do backup before performing hard reset because all you important data will be removed or wiped.

    regards bibin

    Reply
    • Hi, it seems that your Sony Xperia J internal memory already full or the capacity is not enough to install other applications. Some applications like Facebook or Twitter or BBM or Instagram or something like that will keep your data in the internal memory, some of that applications does not have options to move data to external memory, therefore after use several period of time your cached data will be bigger and make your internal memory size become full although you already try to uninstall or remove some applications. If this situations happen, please try to remove cache and data files from your applications, but doing this will make your data or setting become removed and the applications will run back to default again. You can clean the data by go to Setting > Apps and find the downloaded or any bigger data cache applications. Find button to remove or delete the application data.

Please make sure your Wifi setting is active, activate it from Setting Menu.

Maybe you should try again several time continuously, try to not make long delay for each wrong answer typing.

    • Hi, please go to Setting > Language & input > Language, change to English. If your language now become strange font because non English language, then find this setting base by icon. Usually for Setting you will see like tools icon, and for language icon you will see like font or A or keyboard icon from your Sony Xperia J LCD screen.

However, you can try to download some undelete applications from Google Play Store, but some of them need ROOT first which is not recommended for some users.

    • Hi, first you can try to reset your forgotten security pattern using Gmail account. Please try to give several time wrong answer continuously until your phone locked or freezing 30 seconds, at this time your phone will show Forgot Pattern button, then press that button to show username and password field of your Gmail account that you have signed-in before. But please also make sure your Internet is active while process this steps, because your Sony Xperia J will ask authentication with Google server. If still can not work, then you have to do hard reset your Sony Xperia J ST26i using PC Companion applications like steps at #option 4 above.

    • Hi, usually this trouble happen because of software trouble. You have to backup all important data and try to do hard reset using menu Setting like steps at #Option 1 above to reformat your Sony Xperia J operating system to factory default. After finish hard reset, then your soft touch will be work again normally.
