i have that same, but only when DZ lie flat on back on Table or samethig like this
when i tip DZ so that lie not flat, it works fine
doesn't that just mean it's frozen? kinda an android trait for now. this happens to me all the time. not ALL the time or else my phone would be garbage, but plenty of times, which leads to me getting pissed off. but it's kind of the name of the game with any android phone i'd imagine... it always unfreezes after 20 seconds or so though (usually something ends up not responding).

I've been running Black 1.2 for some time. Love it. Never soft reset. Only hard reset it once. I'm using a Cingular 8525. What's weird is that it powers itself off randomly lately. 3 times in a row. It was pretty hot outside when it happened, so don't know if the heat caused it, but the screen would just die and turn off. Anyone have this happen? Any ideas as to what causes this powering down? The battery is full. It was just super hot out? Hmmm.
I would suggest you upgrade to a newer rom dude
take a look in my guide thread which has the latest ROMs listed.

I considered it, but since Black 1.2 was released, I never had a problem with it. Very stable. Could it now after all this time just all-of-a-sudden cause random power-offs? Also, I noticed the device likes to power-off when I slide the qwerty keyboard out and lock it in place. Not every time I open it, but it has happened a few times now. ROM related? Let me know. I'll probably up to a newer ROM tonight.
Thanks.

Ok, update: Seems that EVERY time I slide out and lock the qwerty the device shuts off when I go to reply in a messgae using Palm SMS Threader. Is it the device or the app?
I had the same problem with my old JAMin (Prophet). I would keep the phone in a case and then wonder why I wasn't receiving any calls, then check and see the phone having turned itself off. Reloaded it with a different ROM and the problem went away.
Yeah, that's happened a bunch of times now. Just recently did I hard reset my device, and all was running great like before. Just all of a sudden am I having this issue with power offs and the qwerty kicking the phone off when I open it.
I have the same problem and I have come to one conclusion because I can repeat it.
If you are closing or opening the keyboard, but you do it quickly (like slamming the keyboard shut or open), it will turn off. Also, if you squeeze it while it is closed, it turns off. And I have made sure im not hitting the power button.
Try it and see what happens.
Yeah, it does it when you slide it out really fast. Noticed that. Haven't been able to repeat it every time, but the times it does shut-off, its from sliding it open fast. Now to understand why this happens, since it didn't do this in the past.
Ok, I was having some software issues with my Tilt 2 (TP2) and I talked to Tech @ AT&T, cause I wanted to get it exchanged. So they had me go and check to see if my ROM was outdated, which it was. I bileive it was on 1.59-ish, and now its on the most current one direct from HTC's Support site. My main problem right now is that the phone is 99% unuseable at the moment. AT&T has already agreed to send a replacement after talking with them a few hours ago, but its going to take about a week to get here, and it'll most likely have the same ROM and the same problems, so here I am posting to let people know whats going on, and see if anyone else knows what causes this/has this issue.
Right now the phone is completely stock, only installed app is MS My Phone so I could sync my contacts. I can let the phone sit till the screen shuts off from idle, but if I need to turn on the screen once it turns off, it requires the battery to be taken out. Right now my phone is sitting in front of my keyboard, with its screen black and off, while the keyboard is lit up. Something to note - the keys on the bottom of the screen are NOT lit up. Pushing buttons on the keyboard does nothing. Caps Lock and FN do NOT light up their coresponding indicator lights. If I am lucky, I can get the phone to come out of this state by having someone call me, but aside from that, taking out the battery has been the only way to reset it. Only way to keep the screen from freezing is to constantly use the phone. Using the phone is slow as balls. I thought TF3D was slow, Sense is just as bad. It worked perfectly fine at first, right after it was updated, it was nice and fast, but now that its been used for a few hours, its sluggish.
Anyone ever had this issue with this ROM?
And does anyone know how to possibly fix this issue, or at least get it so the screen will show that its on? I can deal with it being slow, so long as I can use the screen
Thanks guys

You already ruled out a software issue by flashing another stock ROM. This is something hardware related. Sense on the AT&T ROM is dreadfully slow. Use a custom ROM if you want the features of Sense, but in a faster iteration.
Ever since my phone came back from repair my touchscreen has been going crazy when I try browse through the internet. It starts typing on its on, selecting random links moving the page up and down and so on. Does anyone know what the issue could be? Its perfectly fine on everyting else only the browser and sometimes facebook app.
I contacted sony and they said send us the phone and we will update it but I can do that myself and dont wat to be without phone for another week.
Does it happen when charger (wall/USB) is plugged in? Few times when I had just my iPhone 4 wall adapter around I tried to use it with Arc, it did charge the phone but screen went totally crazy just like yours but it was everywhere not just the browser. Using the shipped adapter/cable theres no problem.
No phone is not plugged in. Its very starnge cause phone works perfectly but as soon as I want to browse the internet the screen starts acting up.
Just been playing around and the phone is completely fine wen its charging or the usb is connected. Anyone have any idea what could be causing this? I cant send it to sony since its bootloader unlocked.
I need a original wall adpter, I lose it

I sometimes get a similar problem, but it's happening everywhere, not only in the browser. Very annoying, especially on the homescreen... it seems just to think someones touching it here and there all the time and all going mad with this. ^^
However, I can always solve it by turning the screen off and on again.

I had exactly the same with my previous arc, now it seems the problem is gone but it's only a week i broke the last one but my operator change it. Always had to turn the screen on and off..
The only problem and it's really often and annoying is that the bar at the top of the browser stop to load at the middle and never finish to load with blank page, i press cancel and then refresh and in less than 1 secondes i'm on the page like everything was loaded up but not the graphic part....
I sent my phone back to repair, hopefully they fix it and dont find out that my bootloader was unlocked before.
I believe that is from heat... I get that problem three times.. Just screen off and on.. And its fine.
i have turned screen off and on hundreds of times and still same. I think its something to do with the usb connector since it works fine when connected. Guess ill find out tomorrow.
I have this error a lot, the screen reads "ghost touches" sometimes, it receives constant input at certain part of the screen. sometimes locking and unlock the phone doesnt help, need to reboot.
There's problem with the accuracy of touches near the edges of the screen as well, touches NEAR the edge are received as input AT the edge, this makes it extremely hard to operate the phone.
If you don't understand what I'm saying, go play "Cut the Rope" and try to tap the restart button at the corner, it's freaking hard to get it.
I have visited the SE service center in Singapore, the staff says that there is no problem with the screen, but when i test all the display sets in shops, all has the same issue, so all have the same problem = no problem..
I never had that problem with the screen before so I dont think everyone phone has this issue.

Then you are extremely lucky. I can't prove if all xperia arc have this problem, only tried it with around 20 sets, maybe just nice only that 20 sets have problem.
I m facing an awkward problem with my WFS's touch.... It works pretty fine with everything for sometime but after some irregular time, it starts acting erratically and I simply loose the focus on the screen...... the touch buttons automatically start acting until I lock the phone using power button.... As soon as I do so, it works like a charm again after sometime....
Notes:-
1. It doesn't happen in any particular ROM.
2. It doesn't happen in any particular apps.
3. It doesn't happen in any particular time interval, it just happens, sometimes after 10 seconds only, and sometimes not even for half an hour continuously.... (I was watching a movie on phone on mxplayer.... It worked pretty fine for about 45 minutes, and all of sudden, the touch closed the movie....... I turnt the screen off and then again came back, then it happened again within 10 to 20 seconds continuously for about 10 times so I got pissed off and kept the mobile aside.......)
4. I have tried almost everything out there related to touch fixes for WFS, like unlock freeze problem solutions etc, but neither of them happens to work in my case.....
5. I just have a hunch that its moisture problem.... I guessed, that when I use my phone's screen continuously, it works like a charm like earlier, but when the screen gets heated up ,it starts reacting erratically......
If anyone has any solution of at least knows the accurate problem, I wold b really thankful to them...........
I have tried using different ROMs, Kernels etc...........
If you think it's something related to moisture. Put the phone in a rice container for 24 hours. Take the battery, mmc, and back cover first. Shut down the container tight. The moisture should be take care of.
It can also be faulty connection or another hardware problem.
This also happens to me so you are not alone. Though I have grown used to it, it is still a pain in the back side at times. I also press the power button in order to temporarily remedy the problem. This is a hardware issue either to do with as said moisture or overheating.
well...what happens with mine is when i press the power button to unlock, touchscreen doesnt respond for some time and i am unable to unlock the device. But after that touchscreen works fine. Sometimes i even cant recieve the phone! And if even a single tine drop of water falls on screen...entire screen stops working!
That happend with mee too...i just send mine to hTC service center(ahmedabad)...they replaced touch screen and motherboard for free,though with s-off with custom rom...they didnt denied for warranty,lol....!!!
Now every thing works fine.

Lucky you smartboy....
Well as a solution I too went to customer care center they said they'd have to update the touchscreen firmware and would require a special card to do so, and for the time being they didn't have it and hence they would send a request to other center to get it.... I'm waiting for their reply when they get it....
Thanks sukhijit for the moisture solution.... I'd try that also....
So, I don't know if only I have had this thing going on, Or more of u have. But when it's started to get warm outside, 25c,my phone starts acting weird no matter what ROM I'm using its the same... So if I have my phone in the pocket it will more likely lock itself up even tho I wear the same clothes as I would do normally where it never happens, if its warm outside it will just lock itself up... My phone starts having more problems with touch (still no matter ROM), so forexample when I lock it up it doesn't respond to anything even tho its not sweaty Or anything . and just alot of small problems happens... Anyone else experienced this?
