Hi everyone,
I have been using the Xperia Arc since May this year. A month or less into its usage I noticed it slowing down considerably. I am not bothered much with the apps which might take their own sweet time to open even in the faster phones. However the main reason for concern are the "Message Inbox" and the "Contacts". They take ages to open and more often than not throw up the "force close" noticfication.
This has caused much heartburn and embarrassment to me.
The last time I had this problem an app from the market called "apps2SD" helped me speed up the phone drastically by freeing up the internal memory. As of now, every app that can be moved to the SD card, has been moved. I have 160MB RAM free, 142MB of internal memory free and 2.2GB in SD. It asks for clearign the cache which I do every now and then.
I also have a lot of messages in my Message inbox. Do they have any part to play in slowing down the phone, when opening the "Msg Inbox"?
The processes running are:
Settings
Mail (yahoo)
Messenger (Yahoo)
Xperia arc flash light
Clock
Data monitor
Gauge battery widget
Crash monitor
sonyerric.usb??
google serv
devicemonitor
music
S E sync
Digi clock
setup guide
mtp app
digi clock
secureclockservice
status switch
market
maps
whatsapp
default input
I have only installed basic apps and games. I am not versed with the advanced applications and I don't know what the "launcher" apps are. Kindly help me.
Thanks in advance.

Depending on how many messages and contacts you have (hundreds?thousands?) opening up a huge database can surely slow down your device.
On which firmware are you? did you root your device and/or unlock your bootloader?
The contacts are just what an average person would have. It might be a hundred or barely two hundred at most.
The messages however are many. A vague guess would be around five hundred. It might even be thousand but not much more than that.
My old Nokia N85 had significantly more contacts and messages. Around 250+ contacts and 2000+ messages, but never threw up such a problem or a delay in accessing them. I am emphasising on them, but even the other apps and regular scrolling has shown significant slowing down.
Firmware is 2.3.3 (if it means Android version) Build number: 3.0.1.A.0.145
It hasn't been rooter or has had the boot loader unlocked.
Try to clear your homescreen widget.
See if anything changes in speed.
I believe that running apps consume alot of ram.
Try using titanium and convert system app to user app, just make sure you've back up before doing so.
And clear anything related to ram, useless apps.

i think that's the point, Sarath_'s device is not rooted that's why Titanium Backup can't be used.
@ Sarath_
Cleaning homescreen widgets and/or applications (settings>applications>manage applications) can help a bit for sure.
Be carefull while cleaning anything other then 'cache' or you might loose some settings also.
Maybe you should consider cleaning out a few messages too
@Nirak
Sorry my bad.
Didnt noticed that.
Since he asking for help, well i suggest @Sarath_ to root his arc, and get started to rid of useless apps with titanium. Dont you agree with me @Nirak?
I guess thats the best solution i can think of now with my locked bootloader.

sounds like you have an awful lot of messages on the phone, id start by clearing them down.. why keep so many? maybe you can get an app to back them up if you need to?
@nujhum
absolutely agree! rooting and then a good clean up would be the best option to gain space and speed.
I have a locked bootloader to, cuz i'm an android noob and just a little scared to unlock and loose official SEUS to repair when i mess up
Ever find a solution? I have the exact same problem and I'm on Rogers with a locked bootloader...
How.many free ram you have.

So I got hold of the Xperia S system dump a while ago and I noticed an app in the system folder called UxpNxtLockScreen.apk. I think its obvious what it does for the Xperia S. This is the lock screen which gives us the music controls on the lock screen and (I think) a feature to pin apps on the lock screen (Again, that feature I'm not fully sure of)
Does anyone know of a way to make this work for the Arc?

It is possible, yet very difficult because it requires extensive framework changes that could potentially break other things...

well, I insstalled it and it installed as a normal apk but I Dont see anything new. I am using FLAMEMO'S xperia S THEME..
Guys, now that i have rooted & updated my Arc with ICS 4.0.4; I had a question about the Performance Assistant application that is embedded in the upgrade.
For now it shows 2 applications added in there i.e. ANT Radio & Facebook for Xperia.
My question is, is there any way more applications can be added to this list ? If yes, then I'd request to know how it can be done.
Since you're rooted, just use Titanium Backup to freeze all the apps you find unnecessary.
Performance Assistant is basically doing the same thing but limited to ANT+ and facebook.
And no, I don't think you can add apps to that list. Like I said, use Titanium Backup to freeze what you don't require or even get rid of those pesky apps.

Dear Reader,
I’m basically a noob when it comes to rooting and custom rom-ing and bootloader-ing… and stuff. Unfortunately, I am forced to go down this road because my xperia lt26i, after having set it up the way I like, allows me less than 100mb ram to play around with! This means my phone is usually quite laggy and unresponsive.
Ideally, I’d like suggestions on how to unlock the bootloader. However, I have approached every avenue in that direction and have reached dead ends. This phone, it appears, is not able to have its bootloader unlocked. I contacted both my network provider (who helpfully offered to unlock and root my phone) as well as Sony, who said they couldn’t help. I don’t know whether some OTA update will allow it to happen at a later date. But who knows…
Going back to my RAM related problems, I’m looking for custom ROMs which are a) light on RAM, b) free of third party bloatware and c)offers as close to a ‘nexus’ experience as possible. Currently I’m using Nova Launcher to achieve that. Actually, a custom ROM with Nova Launcher would be perfect.
Also, any other tweaks that can help speed up the phone or save/increase(ha!) RAM would be helpful.
Basically, I’ll take what I can get :angel:
Post in the right section. questions/help goes in to Q/A section. Read rules before posting.
Everything you need to know is ine the Sticky Guide at the top of the forum:

My advise, read, read and then read again before doing anything... Also use the forum search tools you will find all of your answers.
Good luck, I am currently running CM10 with Nova launcher and it works well, I also left stock roms because of lags and memory and I am very happy now.

Please give my ROM a try. I have named it as "Xperia Nexus" because the ROM aims at providing the user with the ultimate Nexus experience.:thumbup:

Your v4 sounds really interesting. May I know what the .587 means/entails?
Also, in terms of backing up, I need to get cwm (which will no doubt test me lol) and do a nandroid backup before flashing the ROM. From the limited reading that I've done, it means that it will create an image of the phone as it is now. Then, I will need to backup the sd card seperately.
Can I get confirmation that the nandroid backup will err back up my settings, widgets and wallpaper settings too? (I use minimalist text and paperland you see.)
Also, after I flash your ROM, will I be able to use Nova prime with my existing settings?

Nandroid will restore your mobile exactly how it was when you did it, including wallpapers and other settings.
Nova has an option for backing up setting and layout too, use it.

.587? You are checking the wrong rom. .587 is only for Xperia 2011 MDPI. This is the link for Xperia S Rom - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2172872
I was just attempting to flash your ROM in and have got almost halfway there. Ie I've just sorted out getting. 55 on my phone. I checked back at your ROM again today and there seems to be some problem, can you advise me as soon as you identify and resolve the issue as I can't risk my phone going out of commission!

No no the rom has nothing to do with the brick! It is a kernel problem. Don't worry at all.

Just done it, went smoothly, though unfortunately only freed up about 50mb ram. Ah well, at least it looks more nexus-y . Just a couple of questions, I want to use a mhl adaptor to connect the phone to my TV, is there a way to do that? And how do I edit the lock screen?

Hello,
So I wrote my own battery saver app, which work for me I live in areas with weak signal
Maybe you can try also:

Yes, me too. Users in Google Play will just download and use it, but here we like to know EVERYTHING!!! lol!
You'll have to give waaaay more info. A "turn me on/off" button and a pic of Mila Jovovich holding a gun won't cut it
And I mean not only here, people that find your app through the Play Store probably won't get interested in installing it due to the lack of information given. It will come across as rather shady to most people tbh
Give the people more info and your app might have a chance of making it!
Hahahaha
The app will turn off mobile data, started a few minutes after screen off. and then try to enable data, in incremental delays.
At night (started 0am), data won't be enabled again until 6am.
If you turn on screen, data will be enabled again.
Snapdragon battery guru: not compatible
Using my app, network location is not required
Greenify: compatible
Are there any plans to add wifi management as well? That would make it a keeper for me perhaps since i dont really get data where i am located. Just lousy E lol

I think wifi management is better in 4.2, and suck less battery even when connected.
But maybe.. I will add wifi management later
