Yeah, the same happened on my X10. To me only thing that worked was flashing latest Android and then back to Sailfish. I am not sure why, but I think it is caused by some app, maybe Android support?

My Xperia Z3 Compact Tablet does the same; it reboots instead of powering off.

Temporary solution to the rescue to force shutdown when needed:


In the Restart section, expand “To force the device to restart or shut down” and follow instructions.

Still not solved in 4.0.1.48 :disappointed_relieved:

This works, but it is like unplugging your desktop everytime you want to shut it off. Anyone figured out how to fix this issue? I even tried reflashing 4.0.1.48, but sadly it is worse than on 3.4 :cry:

Since upgrade to SFOS 4.x from 3.x my Sony Xperia X device won’t powerdown or reboot any more. If I use one of the both butons from the top menu which is showing after pressing 3sec the power button the screen will be going black after 2 sec but the system will not power down nor reboot. It looks like it goes only in the the device locking state.
I used the console tool with devel-su to shutdown the device but than got other problems where the system won’t boot up any more (black screen problem).

I just deactivated the developer mode and I could shut down my device (xperia x) again.
Hopefully it works for you too!
