I was just a bit perplexed at how it could drain the battery at such a short time. It normally fared well on my day-to-day usage but only for that one night it drained super fast.</P></BODY></HTML> Sat, 21 Apr 2012 08:16:04 GMT https://community.sony.rs/t5/other-general/my-active-won-t-turn-on-help/m-p/2919519#M20246 ShedoSurashu 2012-04-21T08:16:04Z Re: My active won't turn on, help? https://community.sony.rs/t5/other-general/my-active-won-t-turn-on-help/m-p/2919520#M20247 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I guess you just have to monitor your phone, see if you can find the root cause.</P><P>Did you install any app lately which you think might be the cause?
