As there is no hard reset / shut down button on this model I can't get the phone to shut down without removing the SD and Sim. The phone is also overheating but I assume this is a byproduct of continuous reboot. PC companion will not recognise the phone in order for me to carry out a repair. The phone was charging when the reboot started for the first time, and I don't believe that any OS update has taken place recently.</P><P>Update... I have reinserted only the SIM and found that the phone will reboot correctly - so singling out the SD as culprit but no idea why. This SD is new, not the same as what was in my Xperia Z (previous phone which had the same issue).</P><P>TVM</P> Sun, 18 Sep 2016 11:06:40 GMT shellyturrell 2016-09-18T11:06:40Z https://community.sony.lu/t5/x-series/xperia-x-continuous-reboot-loop/m-p/3497583#M1435 <P>Phone keeps re-booting (same issue as I had with the Xperia Z) and the only way I can stop the cycle is by removing the SD and Sim.

I deleted it, cleaned the card and then put it back into the phone.... the Xperia X successfully started with both the sim and SD inserted. So far so good...</P> Sun, 18 Sep 2016 16:10:37 GMT https://community.sony.lu/t5/x-series/xperia-x-continuous-reboot-loop/m-p/3497584#M1436 shellyturrell 2016-09-18T16:10:37Z
