      • Hi, some user also reported that using several kind of theme will make trouble at their Android smartphone or tablet. Therefore we are not suggested download and use theme unless we really understand the problem could happen because theme are not compatible with the phone. This is happen with your Sony Xperia SP. If the damage make you can not go to the Setting Menu, then the solutions only doing hard reset or master format using hardware button or PC Companion using computer. For backup, because your phone can not work normally then you should try to connect your Sony Xperia SP using USB cable with Computer PC.

        When connected, hopefully your phone Notification status bar will show options to change USB connection into Mass Storage Device, if success then you can move any important data from Internal memory to your computer hard drive. But if you can not change the Notification status bar, then you have to let your data at internal memory go or erase or remove from your phone, but you still can safe your external card data by remove it from the phone before doing hard reset or master format.

    • Hi, if you still get problem, the very reasonable conditions to hard reset your Sony Xperia SP is using PC Companion, because we can start to connect the phone to computer when the phone OFF, so the effect from your downloaded theme will not work. We never use that theme, but as your experience that installing it will make your phone get problem, better to stay away and use other 3th party recommended launcher if you still need it, but we are suggest to use factory default theme and launcher will make it run normal without problem.

    • Hi, there are several options to hard reset Sony Xperia SP, you also can try to use software PC Companion which need to be download first from Sony Website and install at your computer, then follow the Option #4 above to finish hard reset.

    • Hi, usually this problem happen because you have installed some other Theme or Launcher from Google Play Store or others at your Sony Xperia SP, therefore when press Home button, your phone need to determine which Launcher to use, weather default Sony Launcher or new installed 3th party Launcher, this can make your phone hang or stuck especially when the 3th party Launcher are not compatible with your Sony Xperia SP. Try to remove or uninstalled that Launcher, but if you can not find it, try to do hard reset to make all applications and setting back to factory default. But you need to do backup all important data, because hard reset will make your important data removed or wipe.

  • Hi I was charging my xperia sp c5303 it rebooted twice then blue screen then just ablack screen with a glow would not switch off so pushed reset button but will not turm on now

    • Hi, maybe some applications make the operating system become crash or damage. You should try do hard reset with hardware button at #option 3 above.

    • Hi, if you forgot the security protection password for Sony Xperia SP, then you can try to bypass or unlock it using Gmail username and password that you have already signed in before (at beginning using this phone). Please give several time wrong answer continuously until the phone freeze for about 30 seconds. Then you will find Forgot Password button, press that button to bring you insert the Gmail username and password to bypass the forgotten password protection. If you still can not access Google account or Gmail account, then you have to do hard reset or master format with hardware button steps above. You also can do hard reset using computer with PC Companion application installed like steps above too.

    • Hi, usually after doing reformat or reinstall or hard reset Sony Xperia SP, everything will work normally like new. The problem at your not working Google Play Store maybe because you have not signed-in correctly. If you sure you have already signed in then sometime we have to wait several minutes (less then 30 minute depend on the Internet connection) to wait Google Play Store update with the latest version automatically. This is happen because at old firmware source, your Sony Xperia SP still use old version of Google Play Store.
