My dad bought a xperia arc from newegg and every time he tries to use google maps it force closes and gets the sleep of death and also when he put it on the charger for a long period of time. We sent it back to newegg for another and the new one has the same problem as the last. The phones came with 2.3.3 so I updated to the latest 2.3.4 stock rom and still have the same problem as before. I have no clue what the problem is but was wondering if anyone else hase had this problem and knows a fix for it. I would like to stick with stock for awhile before going custom.

so yesterday i noticed random reboots when tethering thought nothing of it.
then last night i was browsing the net and decided to play some fpse, when i'd finished i closed the xpleria play so it kinda closed on it's own (in other words i didn't fully close it myself let the springs or whatever do the work) anyway when it closed the phone actually turned off and rebooted.
So today i've updated to 2.3.4 and it's still the same so not software related, if i fully close the play with care it wont turn off and reboot.
faulty unit?
was bought from a 02 store last week still got the reciept only problem is it now has has a unlocked BL and unlocked SL, so don't fancy returning it if it can be fixed
any suggestions?
You can relock the bootloader and just return everything back to stock and they shouldn't know unless you tell them. Then take it back and tell them it's not doin it for you that there is random reboots if that doesn't work for some reason just go directly to the source a few others in the arc section got theirs exchanged no problem

Hi,
my sister is considering getting the defy +, on amazon (germany) I found numerous 1-star ratings related to a restart bug that let the phone reboot several times a day. Aparently caused by SIM card. Am guessing its a software issue still, so I checked here and couldnt find anything related to this bug, can anyone confirm it? seems to me like other than that its the best outdoor phone. and it got cm10
thank you for your help!
Best

Yes, my Defy+ used to restart atleast four times in random in a week while I was on stock ROM (1321, the latest is 231 which I never updated due to BL7 root problems). Since I've flashed CM, I never had this issue, not even once till today. I don't know whether 231 has this issue.
My ex wife finally upgraded to ICS on her Xperia S recently and she is having a slight problem.
Even without touching the phone it randomly opens up her contacts list. It's doing it quite a lot and is starting to piss her off.
Any ideas? It's not rooted or anything, it's just stock ICS from Orange UK.
Hi all
lately for the past like 3 months my phone would reboot by itself for reason i really can't explain and it usually happens when i am browsing(stock , chrome or opera ) it always reboots
i was using paranoid android with franco kernel a few months ago when this issue started happening ,initially it keeps rebooting like mad and not long after my computer can't detect it when it's plugged in
i got so frustrated that i looked up for a vid to hard reset my phone to 4.3 stock from google
and thus the issue was solved for like a week
it was all fine and good , then one day i was browsing and it reboots , my heart sank , i was scared the issue would come back and it did , now my phone reboots in the music player , and occasionally in my mp3 downloader and i REALLY DONT KNOW WHY!! i din't root or anything i left it vanilla ...
and when it reboots the battery gets really really hot ...
so is this a software issue? or hardware? is there any solutions?
I'll go back to the very beginning. I bought my Sony Xperia Acro S 1.5 half years ago. After a month it started to get slower and slower. Apps didn't crash, it usually get stuck in one action and snap out of it after a minute, it was pretty annoying. I decided to flash a custom ROM few months ago because i thought it would fix it. I was wrong. It just got worse. I flashed an Android Lollipop 5.0 by some ''dirtypaul'' . Now my apps crash all the time ( YouTube, Twitch, Google Chrome, Games, everything). Phones keyboard often doesn't even pop up. I can use youtube and twitch for about 5-10 minutes before it crashes. It kinda fixes for 30min when i restart my phone. It is really annoying and i don't know what to do. I live in a third world country so maybe i just got a faulty phone? Any tips or solutions on how to fix this will be appreciated.
Thank you in advance
I also have the same device as yours last March I installed his ROM 5.0 and I didn't found any bug and it's working incredibly great but I didn't like it that much so I came back to the original stock acro S ROM but after a month I also get stuck and the phone always get lag so I came back to BPaul Lollipop ROM and found out it has already released a new updated version 5.1.1 lag free and working incredibly good.. ?
