I also faced a problem in my xperia mini after using it for only 3 days.
In an incoming call, the keypad showed up, I thought may be the capacitive button was pressed accidentally.
I, then pressed all the keys several times, trying to remove the keypad from the screen & pickup the call but no key was responding.
I then pressed the volume down button & phone was silenced but started vibrating endlessly till the end of the call.
After end of the call my phone was not responding, not even by the power on/off button.
After 5 mins phone starts working normally.
Then I tried to call it myself by my other phone.
I called it around 10 times & got this problem again.
This time vibration was not there but keys were not responding & was unable to remove the keypad.
After end of the call, when screen turned off, I pressed the home key, the screen was awake, but now touchscreen was not responding, I was unable to unlock the screen by slider.
I then long pressed the power on/off key so that I can switch the phone off, but in the phone options screen, I cannot select Power Off Option, The touch screen was not respondind at all.
I have to remove the battery & start the phone again.
I then repeated all this & the results were same.
This is very annoying.
How can I use it like this.
I have no clue what the problem is.
I have no abnormal heating problem though I think.
The phone gets warm sometimes but I think that's pretty normal thing.
Anybody have any idea on this keyboard problem?
Also I am unable everytime I try to update the phone software.

AnonD-8312, 30 Sep 2011No way. This is an awesome phone. I do not know what sort o... moreYes, the phone got good specs and used to work well. But our real problem is SE isn't replying to our inquiries well . Battery is really not that bad it's above average. Got good sound and headphones are nice too(). I f your phone isn't damaged, it's the best value for money product at this price range.

AnonD-11110, 30 Sep 2011totally agree with u... powerful set with powerful problems!! :pNo way. This is an awesome phone. I do not know what sort of defective batch was provided to these guys, but I have been using this phone for almost a month (bought it on september 7th, and it has been working fine ever since then. No hiccups regarding the capacitive keys, or any overheating of the unit. Anyone who has probably has battery issues, is probably unknowingly running games/apps in the background, or has internet on 24x7. I managed to get 4 days, just by restarting the phone to kill all apps: my total usage was 1 hr of calls, 1/2 an hour of surfing, and about 20 minutes of gaming. If you don't use the phone all the time, then battery is really not bad- its actually very good. No other phone in this price range offers so much (as of today). One of the guys in this forum who had the touch problem, got his phone replaced by the SE service centre.

To all people who are planing to buy this phone, please double check your decision, as some batch of this phone got a heat related issue. I bought mine at the end of August from the Sony center Trivandrum . And it worked perfectly until sep. 20. Later , keypad issues began to show up, when ever phone got heated(either by charging or gaming for certain extend of time or while browsing)And , I must say I was very much satisfied with this "once fantastic " phone But the keypad related problem was a real disaster.
I think the problem is related with a certain batch of this product.( The SE guys are acting very unresponsive even though approx 50 people reported about this issue . proof:

Those of you like me who did'nt get the extra Dark Blue & Dark Pink covers can be bought seperate now. I bought both colours. They are the genuine S.E. covers which come with a glossy finish as opposed to the matt finish on the standard white or black cover.

for those who have problem with the music settings, download ttpod player(free) which is better than any other music player (even paid). it has lots of equlizer options.
my music player has messed with the album art. it shows random album art with most of the songs, while other media players are showing it correctly, any solution?

AnonD-23593, 30 Sep 2011exactly dude..!! i have been waiting for it..for so long..a... moreDon't worry. Only 3-4 people in this blog actually had the problem. Most of them kept on repeating their problem, and others (especially ones marked anonymous) were probably sammy fanboys trying to steer you away from SE. No phone is as good as the xperia mini. There is no problem of vibrating or overheating. I have used this phone for a month, and the only problem I have seen is that because it is tiny, and my palms are fleshy, it is prone to accidental keypresses...;-). But there is no problem in phones bought from proper retailers. I bought mine from The Mobile Store, kolkata. Also, avoid online retailers, as the one who posted the video of the vibrating problem got the phone from flipkart. Try getting it from sony centres, or from a mobile store.

Its a cool phone man.
The problems & complaints you are reading here can be found in any phone's comments section.
These are unit specific hardware problem & not batch related problem.
100% perfection can not be there in any product of any brand.
Don't worry.
Go get it.

what about the vibration and heating up problem?
I had almost bought it if those problems never existed... i am confused now... are those problems related to batch...?
but still, no other powerful option at this price point...
