[Q] Silent problem - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have this weird problem that my Arc change to the silent mode by itself many time a day
I don't know what cause this but my cousin also had it on his arc and he said he drops many calls because it was rondomly silent
so anyone has this problem or can give me a solution I really appreciate it
(I don't know if this help but it starts after using statusbar widgets like tho one in elixir and widgetsoid although I removed them the problem didn't go)

no one has this issue . is it only me then

i notice this too.
Reflash and not using widgetsoid might help.

No prob here and please wait 48 hours before posting again.

Some times i cant pick up the.incoming call.

My defy is having one problem. Its actually random. Sometimes when a call comes, i am not able to pick it up. The touch simply wont work. Then i have to cut the call using the power button and call them back.

Are you using SetVSel? If yes then what settings are you using?
Im getting rid of mine because of the same issue. It seems to randomly break during some incoming calls. Sometimes the touch sensors stop working, sometimes it fails to to bring up the answer/reject lock screen and just brings up the normal one. Other times it goes into a frenzy of randomly pressing the buttons and touch screen all by itself while ignoring anything I do to try and prevent it. Its a great device, but as a phone its been crap for me.
I dont use setvsel because it caused issues with the graphics on my defy, even at 850 it caused corruption and freezing on anything 3d. I had the call answering issues before rooting and unstalling setvsel btw

Yeap that's what I meant.
Well I'm not entirely sure, but I remember someone mentioning he had trouble picking up calls because his frequency was too low but yours seem fine.
Have you tried disabling SetVSel to see if it works OK without it?
XDA app? where did you get it?
Sometimes i cant able to lift the call
even i am not able to lift the call sometimes the touch is not working at the time by clicking the power button then the call is ending.
Yeah, i got it from the market.

But its not happening always, till now it has happened for me like 5 times in 3 months! so i dont think i will b able to check it after switching the setvsel off. I will have to stop it like 1 month or some to confirm it! any other option?

happens here too, no root, no overclocking tools. plain stock defy but happens
with launcher ex as well. mostly when on the charger or been not in use for a
few hours.
oh ok, so its not the problem of overclocking/undervolting! So I'm happy. I thought like I will have to remove the root and all!
But still, why is this even happening??
Will it get fixed on the froyo update?? :/

I have this problem with mine. Totally stock and it didn't happen until AFTER I updated to Froyo. It has happened about 5 times now.
You sure it will be fixed in froyo? Yesterday my boss was calling me to discuss something imp and I could not pick up the call because of this damn issue, I had to disconnect the call with the power button and called him back :-|

Did you miss my post? I never had this problem until AFTER I updated to froyo. Now, I am experiencing it on occasion. This would lead me to believe that something else is amiss.
Are you guys using a screen protector?

i have indian rom , but i have faced this issue...and i dont know why it happend....faced 2 to 3 times now...hoping to get an solution.....one solution is just lock and unlock it again by press and release pow button i think it solves the issue of random screen freeze

Some phone issues

Every first time (locking phone to redo it also happens) that I put in my pattern unlock, it always stop by itself before I'm done putting in the pattern. I am rooted but i'm not using a custom rom.
This could be a tmobile problem but my friend and an ex said they text me a couple of times before but I never received any text messages. I'm using the stock messaging app. This happened yesterday and I still never seen the texts. This is probably happening with sent texts but I'm not sure. I'm in Atlanta, Georgia if anyone else is having similar problems in the area.
I also have a calling problem where I'd call someone sometimes and it says they pick up but they really didn't and I don't hear anything. I think it's a problem with wifi being on but this also happened on my old side kick phone '08 model before i upgraded to this phone which doesn't have wifi.
bump. no one?
I just exchanged my phone yesterday and it's still having the same problems.
Bump again.. I reset my phone and the problems (mainly the pattern and unsure of other problems) eventually comes back.
No one is having this problem? Can anyone even try to reproduce the problem So I know that my tmobile place doesn't have a bunch of defects. I mean if I wait a Second or two before entering the pattern then it would work.
I also notice that there is maybe a screen/touch issue at the bottom right corner of the phone. I could see the issue with multi touch vis test in the play store.
I sometime have a problem with air view writing by itself and having the s note freeze up.
Wait till the lakers game is done homie!

I also noticed a problem with calls not being able to be picked up. I'll have to constantly slide the accept button before it answers.
I think there's also a problem with calls being dropped on wifi.
Airview sometimes draw by itself.
Bump again.. there's also a problem where screen is timing out too quickly. Even when I changed it to 30 seconds, it still times out at 15.
The battery also dies pretty quickly with occasional texting using the stock app. It goes from 100% at 8am to 68% by 2pm. People also have a problem hearing me when they call me or I call them and I'm on speaker phone. Even when I put my mouth closer to the mic they still can't hear me
Sounds like a wifi calling issue, it really doesn't work well for me, even on my old HTC Sensation I experienced the same exact thing. Wifi calling is enabled by default check in your settings menu and disabe it. As far asyour battery issues are concerned it sounds like there is something running in the backround draining your battery. Check to see if your phone is sleeping when it should be. Check all of your settings because it sounds like something is draining your battery. If you try all of this and still have a problem, go exchange it, perhaps you have a faulty unit. I hope this helps. The only time I have had the issues with calls as you've described it was because of wifi calling..

I don't use pattern unlock so I cannot confirm that issue. Battery life for me is outstanding, I did have an issue with it on the first day of use but it was an app causing it to be awake constantly. I uninstalled the app and my battery life is incredible 6+ hours of screen and calls and it still lasts forever. I am not aware of any missed texts. Wifi calling is just awful so I don't use it and I have no problem making or receiving calls and texts even when I have a week signal. Compared yo my Sensation this is a huge upgrade and I am not having any issues.

Was there any problems?
Bump again.. is nobody having any of the problems that I posted about?
Is anyone having a problem where the screen wouldn't time out when you put it next to your ear while you're on a phone call?
bump again..
I just got my phone exchanged through the mail and it's still having the same issues.
Also there are these weird markings/dots on the inside of my screen. Maybe it's a lcd bleed/screen issue. It appeared in my past couple of exchanged devices. It wouldn't go away and I usually see it more clearer when I'm using the phone at night or on certain websites/games/etc that has the right lighting for it.
Once again. Bump..

[How To Fix] Strange things happening to my N7100

Hi Here is bunch of things started happen without reason and cant find fix.
1. Gallery app freez for over a minute and crash if the phone is connected to wifi, but works perfectly if connected to 3g or not connected to any thing.
note: i unchecked photo sync for every account because i noticed that when the gallery freezes the wifi traffic is too high
2. Homescreen picture changes after making or receiving calls from certain contacts .
It's interesting that you mentioned this-I have been having a weird wifi hang lately and twice I have had the home screen wallpaper Change on me when it happened
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium.
Whenever I reboot my Phone it asks me which launcher I wish to use. Even if I choose to always use adw.
Anyone knows how to fix this?

hi thanks for taking interest in to my thread
When exactly the wifi hang , because i noticed that when the phone is waking from a deep sleep the wifi takes about 5 to 10 seconds to get back to full signal .
Does the wallpaper changed after you received or made a call?

hi thanks for taking interest in to my thread
try to clear the launcher defaults then restart and then select the adw to be default.
the idea is to restart with the default cash clear. it may help , tell me if it worked.
My wife uses different ring tones for different contacts. The problem is that every now and then it defaults to the main chosen ring tone and have to set them again. I was wondering if any usual updates to apps may be causing it.
Anyone else with this problem?
May be that happens when she plug the phone to the pc to add or remove media . The media scaner that runs after she unplug may cause loss of assigned ringtones. If that is the problem try using airdroid from the market its free very easy to use. If not try to know when exactly that happens .
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
Thanks for the quick reply. The phone has never been physically connected to the pc. Only connections are via Bluetooth to transfer photos etc. Will check next time if anything changes after Bluetooth connection though.

I can't remember, to be honest.
My note is set to disable the lockscreen when wifi connects to certain WIFI routers. (work/home).
I suspect that might be the problem, but I can't for the life of me remember what program is turning on/off the lockscreen.
Never seen any issues when getting/making calls.

Strange thing: if I choose touchwiz to always open as default then reboot it doesn't ask for launcher again. If I choose adw it asks every time I reboot

Lock screen shortcut problem?

Hi all. I just wondered if anyone could help me out with this problem i'm having.
When on the lock screen you can usually just pull the ring on to the camera in case you need to make a quick snap shot. But after the Jelly Bean update, every time I try use it, it freezes for around 5-6 seconds rendering the shortcut useless I suppose. Only happens with the camera app and nothing else for some reason.
Anyone have any ideas of what could solve this? Such a small problem but it's a really annoying one.
Cheers.
Did you make an hard reset when you upgrated to Jelly?
There is to say that the problem there is also in custom rom...
So, it may be an htc issue rom

I haven't done a hard reset because of fear of just losing everything... not very good with all this stuff, usually just find a quick or easy fix for things.
When it comes to going a bit deeper to trying to fix something i'm lost.
Goes without saying I haven't rooted my phone or anything, so there wouldn't be any problems it that area.
Any thought's on how else I could fix this, pal? thanks.
I don't know how to fix, so i usually don't use the camera so i don't have this on shortcuts...
I also have the same issue

It took me 3-4 seconds maximum make sure that the camera app is on ram

Random sluggish performance that requires reboot?

Hello everyone. I've been experiencing a problem lately that has me scratching my head. The phone for no reason and at random times because super sluggish like the frame rate or something is super low.. It seems to be most apparent in the launcher.. It happens at random even if the phone is cool or hot. Happens on touchwiz launcher as well as nova launcher.. Clearing ram and open apps doesn't work... The only thing that makes the phone go back to normal is a reboot. This also happens on any custom ROM. With stock or custom kernel.. So.is this a CPU hardware problem? Has anyone else had this happen? It's already been happening quite often and its becoming annoying. Factory resets don't solve it either as it comes back randomly. If anyone can shed some light please do.

I would contact T-Mobile it could be a phone problem if you are seing it after an Odin back to stock. That would be my only suggestion is an Odin back but since you already did that I would see about getting the phone switched out

Explain to tmobile what's happening and let them know you want a new device. they are very easy to work with and tmobile won't make you prove anything. Ive been with tmobile for ten years now. Trust me they are easy to work with if you explain the situation and let them know it clearly interferes with your ability to use the device as it should be used. You should have ZERO problems with returning the device. By the way sounds like your device DOES have serious problems so id call tmobile as soon as possible. They MIGHT try trouble shooting it FIRST as this is procedure they HAVE to follow simply let them know after trouble shooting that your issue IS STILL PRESENT and they will exchange your device for a new one without issue...so call them asap. You won't have any trouble. You will see. They are very EASY to work with so NO WORRIES. Call and get your device exchanged NOW. Hope this helps you out. I've had a LOT of expirence working with tmobile. It won't be a problem. Youll see. Best wishes to you and hope you get this matter resolved today.

I'll have to agree here. I've had many issues over the years (anyone remember the LG G2X?), and they will stand by you. Sometimes you have to squawk loudly, but they want you to be happy...
Unlike Sprint.....I hate Sprint
Edit: If you're not happy with their response, just escalate it to Customer retention...they have the real power.
I had bad lag when I was trying to text, send an email, or anything involving using the keyboard. I flashed a ROM thinking that would take care of the issue . It didnt, still had hang ups and lag. I flashed back to stock and received a new phone and havent had an issue yet.
