There are a few things you can try. Have you tried restarting it? Also you could try starting it in "Safe Mode" and see if it will boot up correctly. If it does, then it may well be an app that is the cause.

To get into "Safe Mode" please do the following.

I made an account to have a record about how sony has treated me as a customer.
THROW IT IN THE GARBAGE. it wont ever work... prove me wrong. this company is a complete joke. i'm selling my PS4 for 100$ and gonna buy a retail version of xbox just to make less sony GARBAGE in my house.

hope you enjoy less customers!! (F)ONY

this phone was good until I started using it.

I had the same problem I solved this by buying a rubber back cover then placing a 2cm ball of blue tac on the top left back of phone then place on the cover and it was fixed been fine since as it applies that little bit of pressure to top left corner which is a common fault with m4
