Sony C5 switches off while I puts it vertically in my pocket

[Monark]

I don't know why, but it switches off in my pocket, even if there is no excessive pressure applied.
And after that, to turn it on I need to press the screen at the center and hold the button.
I can't let that happen, because I missed many important calls because of this.
I would appreciate if you can provide solution..

Hi @Monark, welcome to our forum!

I'm sorry to hear about your phone.

Does this always occur when you have the phone in your pocket and it's placed vertically? Does it switch off if you have it in your pocket horizontally or vertically on a table?

First of all, I'd recommend that you reboot your phone in safe mode, just to make sure that a third party application that you have downloaded isn't the cause of these restarts, they will be disabled while the phone is rebooted in safe mode.

If there is no change in safe mode, try removing the SIM and/or SD cards from your phone.

Let me know how it goes!

Hi @Mido0071, welcome to our forum!

I'm sorry to hear that you are experiencing the same behaviour with your phone.

If there was no change while the phone was rebooted in safe mode and both SIM and SD cards weren't mounted in the phone, try and perform a software repair using Xperia Companion.

This will rule out that this is caused by the software in your phone and the latest available software will be reinstalled.

Do note that all data that you have stored on the internal storage in the phone will be deleted in this process, so it's advised to backup using Xperia Companion before you start with the repair process.

Let me know how it went!
