    My W850i keeps switching on and off by itself

    There is a ridiculous error in my Sony Ericson W850i that it keeps turning on and off by itself. I cant even send messages due to this problem. The time I will be typing the message and the phone will switch off. It is not a battery problem because this also happens even when a the the battery is full. It switches off by itself even if I have left it idle, not doing anything. Is some kind of software problem or does anyone know what is causing this to happen. I have used this phone for 2 years and this is happening from the past couple of days.

    I had the same problem with my NOKIA N95. It used to go on and off by itself. It was high time that I found out what was wrong. The reason that your W850i keeps switching on and off by itself is because your phone may be in "POWER SAVING MODE"/"SLEEP MODE".

    --Go through the following steps and everything will become fine:
    --In your W850i, go into the menu with settings.
    --Look through all the options.
    --Turn off the setting which says "POWER SAVING MODE"/"SLEEP MODE".
    --Also try restoring factory defaults, if nothing works out.

    I have heard of such problems like phone turning on and off by itself due to many reasons as follows:
    1. You must have not inserted the SIM card properly.
    2. You must have dropped your phone.

    One of my friends also has the same problem. She turns off the phone for about 10-15 minutes everyday and she will have no problem with it the entire day.
    But, if that too does not work, I would suggest you to take your phone to an authorized SONY ERICSON GALLERY and show your problem over there.

    I had the same problem with me that my NOKIA N97 used to keep switching on and off by itself. I found later that I had installed a software and a virus had entered into my phone system via that software. When I removed the software and scanned my phone system, I got rid of the virus and then everything was fine after that.
    You also try doing the same thing. Look out for the new softwares that you have installed and check for infections. If this too does not work do a MASTER RESET and hopefully, everything would be as good as before.
