My all themes in phone memory, so nothings difference between store in phone memory or memory card. From phone memory others themes also cause problem on latest firmware, only “lazer precision” works fine 80%. Even others themes which are come with the phone by default also cause problem.
May be it doesn’t make any sense but I always perform a hard reset (with clear all) and format the memory card before update and after update again do hard reset and format the memory card. Then set the all settings and restore phone contact and calendar entry with computer. |

Well it turned itself off again last night, luckily I woke up before my alarm was supposed to go off.
I've done a 'master reset all' so I'll see how that goes, if it keeps turning itself off I can only think of trying SEUS again, otherwise I'm stuck! |

If it happens again, then try with SEUS again; hope your problem will be gone. |

mine used to do that .... I run all themes/ringtones from phone memory
NOT the card and it's (so far) not repeated the shutdown/reboot problem.
I reject your reality and substitute my own. |

I've not had the memory card in since yesterday so everything has been running off the phone but it still turned off last night.
I did a master reset this morning and it hasn't turned itself off yet so hopefully it'll stay that way. See how it does over night...
Update 1
The phone hasn't turned itself off since the master reset and I've now got the memory card back in (having being formatted by the phone). Making sure to run ringtones and themes off the phone memory.
Update 2
Well after a week of no problems it did it again last night! 
Going to try SEUS again after that I've got no idea whats left to do..

Well I sent my phone in for repair and they sent it back after 2 weeks claiming they had fixed the problem. After less than 24 hours it turned itself off again!
I sent it straight back saying they had not fixed or tested the phone as they had stated. I waited another 2 weeks and got my phone back yesterday. This time they said they could not find a fault! Jokers!
Unsuprisingly my phone is still turning itself off even though I've tried the software update and so have they.
What am I supposed to do with this piece of junk!!
Does anyone know the official address for complaints to Sony Ericsson?
Cheers.. |

Try flashing it with KK if you can and then customize with a2uploader... Or pay some euros for totalgsm. It may fix the phone. Also try a plain SEUS firmware update before that.

Thanks for the reply strizlow,
I've found this firmware:
C902_R3DA028_FS_CENTRAL-EUROPE_CID52.fsm
C902_R3DA028_MAIN_GENERIC_AO_CID52.min
But I think this is what I already have on it, after checking the service menu i get R3DA028 prg12041731_GENERIC_AO R3DA028. What do you think I should customize it with? Is that so it changes the file system and might somehow stop the random turning off?
Also, would there be any difference between using KulanKendi and totalgsm for flashing?
Finally, is there any difference between flashing the phone with SEUS and flashing it with KK or totalgsm? because I tried SEUS and it didnt make any difference.
Thanks for the advice.. |

Got a new 902 after my black one, worked flawlessly! Then I installed a new theme and bingo it restarted! As soon as I removed the theme and reverted to an original it worked perfectly with no crashing since. |

i bought a C902 5 days ago and it's auto-shutdown twice. both times i noticed is when i'm "pressing buttons too quickly" (ie. texting). i'm using default themes. i'm on R3DA028. first time it happened my heart skipped a beat...thought it was the BROD back to haunt me!!
i also realised that that battery indicator does not turn to yellow/red when the percentage drops below 20%. did the developers forget to include that little function in this phone? |

Try this Clean your simcard gold connector, battery gold connector, M2 gold connector, battery terminal connector, etc. |

I had 3 different C902's that did it tried different firmwares, including generic, still made no difference.
It also seems it was completely random when it did it, shame as I still want another, but caused me so many problems.
