Arc S Lag issue - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm using Arc S Arconium 7.1 with Doom Kernel
My phone lags with no reason. When I rebooted it, it gets better but sometimes it's not. And every time i reboot my phone, I have to re-run my GO LAUNCHER and re-add some widgets which is looked weird in my sense
I don't know why? Anyone have experience in this problem before?

No, that's strange.
I'd say reflash it.

[Q]Applications Random Pause

Greetings,
I have arc since May and I'm really satisfied from it.
But here's the thing. It randomly pauses most of my applications after a minute or so.
The first time it happened, i though i misstouched the screen, but I wasnt. When I'm playing games it pauses the game (No graphical lag or any issues, just pause) and i have to touch the screen to continue back. Same applies to youtube and any application that has pause.
Any idea what happened? My arc is stock non-rooted (Since 2.3.4 update) so i didn't mess up with any system files.
Looking at the number of views and no replies seems that no one has this problem , including me.
Have you tried to reflash the firmware or may be tried different region firmware or may be downgrade to lower version? Just to test the issue reappearing?
True. No, I haven't done flash or anything you mentioned before. Looks likely im going to use SEUS and wipe everything. Though I don't have time right now and I'll do it later in the evening or at weekend

I'm suffering from the same problem.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S II with stock rom
It started out a couple of days ago. It happens on every application I run, pausing it after a a short time it's running and it happens again every minute or so.
I tried uninstalling new apps but it didn't work.

Do you have any other touch screen issues?
Like touch at one point and it don't react or something?

Rooting is great.
Especially because you can delete bloatware, install CWM, flash MODs/Themes/etc., install V6 Supercharger and so on.

[Q] Does your phone randomly reboots?

I'm not sure if this has happened to anyone else..
However, this seems to be an ongoing issue with me and Android.
I've had the X10a and Nexus One .. both after only rooting it and using a different rom. While making phone calls and charging.. my phone would reboot..
Or playing a game on the phone.. it would reboot. I basically couldn't do anything without the phone rebooting. Which was sad.
Now with the Galaxy S2X.. This very same issue just happened to me moments ago.
Should I have never rooted it or changed the rom in the first place?
It was running very well before I decided to do so.. even while charging and talking on the phone.
Its funny because it just happened while charging.... I'm not even on the phone myself.
Does anyone seem to have any problem with this when using custom ROMs?
Because if this is true.. then I guess I'll flash the stock kernel and stuff back on the phone just to HOPE it doesn't occur then. :/
I've only experienced this after trying different roms and kernels. I flashed the stock kernel and the deodex rooted stock rom back at the same time and have had no such things happen again.
Imo, stock always runs better than any other rom. I always get better battery too.
My sensation was/is the same way, reboots, dropped signals and all until I put it back to stock rooted. Now it's fine.
——————————
Deebo took your bike too?
Yes I have had it more often on this phone though but it has been fixed by wiping the proper things first then flashing. If not then you might need to redownload the file.
If that doesnt work then you need to make sure that the kernel you are using is compatible with the rom
Also make sure that you are using the proper cpu software for the kernel.. Setcpu seems to work good for most but on Juggernauts new kernel they highly recommend Fauxclock .
I've run roms and kernels since we got root. Never had a random reboot or any other problem for that matter.

The only thing I'm worried about is if I continue to wipe and reinstall these customs ROM's that this issue could worsen, but you said that Fauxclock was highly recommended for Jug's Rom? I should try that out myself.
I've always done exactly what was written on the Instructions themselves.
But as for now. . I did a full wipe.. including my SD and the USB data and did a practice call for roughly an hour with me playing games and surfing. So far, there has been any problems. I hope this is perm!
I'd hate to waste another $500 phone D:
As far as the problem kernel with rom etc..
I am running Jug's rom straight. No different kernel's nothing.
I just had it happen to me last night. First time on this phone it has happened. It its stock, rooted. Happened while I was paying music in the car. My other phones with custom roms used to do it all the time.
I wonder if this has happened to anyone without ANY mods on their phone? =X

Are you overclocking?
I am running jugs rom. Before I cleaned everything I did move a lot of apps to SD. Maybe that cause it but as for now I have no.problem. definitely report in the future should there be anymore.

Reviving old thread... I have a completely stock S2X running 4.0.3 and it randomly reboots or shuts itself off.
I'm trying to figure out if it's a wayward app or a hardware problem. Thinking of rooting and removing the bloatware.
I also saw that it could be a faulty power button, but it also happens by itself, sitting on a desk.

Root try new rom and kernel see if that fixes it.
Did anyone find any solution? everything in this thread failed for me ..
Have you tried updating to jellybean? Mu phone used to randomly reboot on 4.0.4 probably once a day, and hasn't done it since I did. I am on stock rom.

Strange problem

Dear friends,
I have problem with my Nexus. Sometimes it vibrates by itself, without any reason. I don't mind it but it is little bit annoying. What can it be? I am on JB + franco's kernel.
Thanks.

Check all software that issues notifications and make sure none is set to vibrate. Like Yahoo, Facebook, etc.
Also happening to me. I rebooted and it's ok for another few days then vibrate itself again... I don't care now XD
Checked all options and I am thinking that settings are good. I don't use any of social apps except Instagram and twicca. This is very strange and happens randomly.
Do you ever get asked to choose an app to open 'something' with? like email apps etc?
Also do you have a folder in your gallery with a load of screen shots?
This is usually cause by the automated bug report system.
you may have to wipe data and re-flash rom/kernel.
Yes, happens all the time. So this is rom fault? Should I just use rooted stock?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
This was happening all the time to me, on stock ICS and when I went to JB.. I am running my own build of CM10 and the issue has subsided.
Personally I Think a bad flash is to blame.
just try reflashing.. like i say i had this problem consistently and flashed many different roms with no resolution.. but now its fine very odd..
Like i say do a wipe and full flash/reinstall.
I found solution to my problem. You have to disable bug mailer. Just rename /system/bin/bugmailer.sh to bugmailer.sh.bak and you are good to go.

MildWild CM-5.8 Stable -shutting down phone when using gps/navigation

Hi. I donated my Desire with MildWild CM-5.8 Stable on it to my girlfriend. She is using maps/navigation/gps a lot, and she keeps telling me that the phone shuts down all the time. I reflashed it yesterday with the same ROM, but she says it's still happening.
Anyone?
Why don't you install the newest versiin of the rom? Maybe it's fixed.

Same thing happens with the latest one. I really dont want to use a lot of time on this so i guess im gonna go back to a stock rom. Even though mw is way faster and awesome.
It's a bug in cyanogenmod 7.2. In my experience the phone restarts if you turn the screen off while using walking, or bicycling navigation. But if you listen to music at the same time it doesn't reboot. I also noticed that you can also turn the screen off while using driving navigation... This bug is only in CM, you could try another AOSP-ROM.

It restarts even if the screen is on. I tried it yesterday. Google navigation and screen on, restarted about 3-4 times in 1.5 hrs.
Do you have any recommendations for ROMs? I just want the Desire to be fast and responsive.

This is a general kernel related CM 7.2 problem and not mildwild specific.

I always liked Oxygen. Small and stable. Mildwild version might look better, but every time I have tried his roms, there has been some little bug or graphical glitch that has annoyed me. I've been using CM7.2 nightlies for a long time. I can live with the gps bug, and it's probably the only gb rom that has all the vulnerabilities patched.

[Q] Random Reboot

Hi,
History:
I have a problem with my Nexus. It randomly reboots. Nothing seems to help.
It started after a few months after I was rooted on CyanogenMod 10.0. In 3 days, it quickly escalated to a reboot every 10 minutes on average.
A factory reset (without user apps installed on it) on CynogenMod reduced the frequency (every hour?), but didn't eliminate it.
Unrooting to stock Jellybean 4.1.2 seemed fine only in the first week. The problem came back afterwards, and updating to JB 4.2.1 didn't help.
Now, 2 months on stock ROM, I get even more random times. Sometimes it is 2 times a day, sometimes once a week.
Just before it:
I get a metallic screeching noise for 1-2 seconds, and immediately following that, device turns off with a "pang". Although these days I HAVE had situations that the sound came for up to 3 seconds (and the screen freezes), but the phone worked normally afterwards.
What happens:
It randomly reboots. The rebooting is at irregular intervals, whatever i was doing on it (even when not using it).
What happens after:
It takes much, much longer to startup again. It can get stuck at the "Google" logo screen for up to 5min. It doesn't take this long to reboot if I shut it down myself.
Any ideas? What causes this? Is it software or hardware?
Can I even send it for warranty if I cannot reproduce the problem?
I don't want to send it to warranty if I don't have to. I don't want to loose my phone for I don't know how long.
Hi, what's your eMMC version? Maybe buggy memory, try looking at other threads.

I'm new to this eMMC thing, but according to an app my eMMC Type is V3U00M. To check whether it is buggy or not it needs root, which I don't currently have. If it IS buggy, I don't have a choice but to bring it for warranty right?
No, I have not tried to changed batteries. I don't have other batteries. But can the problem really lie with the battery? Btw, my phone is less than 8 months old.

Well, I am planning to root again. I want to switch back to CyanogenMod 10.1. Lagfix app isn't needed if you can use -discard mount option right? How to use either, if let's say I'm on CyanogenMod. This is also the first time I hear of lagfix and discard mount... :/
Btw, the app i used to check my eMMC Type said that my chip is ok. No brickbug. Are you sure it's buggy?

I might be wrong here, but from what I've read at the link and other xda posts (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2029246), the V3U00M chip is not buggy (in the sense that it's stable for rooting and using the -discard command), but it does give slowdowns. I do have horrible slowdowns, so thanks for that solution I didn't know existed. However, this doesn't solve my random reboot problem at all...
No one else got any solid way to find out the source of the problem?

Same as you man...
I'm seriously considering throwing my phone to the garbage. I don't like iPhones, but google is really pushing me into it with this crappy piece of phone. Is so frustrating to have these rebooting issues, I've tried everything, from wipe to factory reset, back to stock, flash custom ROMS and KERNELS, turning location access off, uninstalling all apps/widgets that might interfere, and every single "solution" it's out there, and STILL I'M HAVING THESE DAMN REBOOTS!
Now it's even worse, I can't even transfer files to my phone anymore because, guess what... IT REBOOTS! everytime I transfer ANY KIND of file.
The only thing that seems to work for a while is reformatting and start from scratch. I've done that like 3 times already. But still after a few weeks the issue reapears... i'm really mad about this, and no one seems to care. Not Google and not even Samsung.
The only interesting thing that i found around the internet is this guy's findings
plus.google.com/113601948978986762347/posts/2ALASEC1dG2
I read the log on my phone and matches to his... but now the thing is, what do i do with this information? I'm not a programmer o something like that.
Any ideas?
I think your board is faulty. Even so, have you tried disabling SR and raising voltages across the board? Trimming eMMC? Omapflash?

He is saying that you have root you need to install trickster mod from the play store. Open the app and go to specific. Then disable the smart reflex toggles and click the oké button in the upper right corner see if that works. If it doesnt re enable smart reflex and go tot MPU voltages. Next to the words MPU voltages there is a blue plus/minus button. Click that and click the plus one time. Accept it and push again the oke button. The other two things I dont exactly know..

Honestly, if you are getting reboots on a clean stock (including stock kernel) , it's probably a hardware issue.

The thing is that after a clean stock install everything works fine for a week or two, that means no random reboots, and i can transfer any kind of file of any size with no problem. Then for some estrange reason (even with no crazy apps installed) starts with a random reboot, after that first reboot i know is time and that i wont be able to transfer files anymore, because it WILL reboot while i'm transfering files. Other thing i have noticed is that around where the camera lens is, get really hot. So I think that the reason it reboots is kernel panic caused by overheating, or the other thing is that my sdcard have some issues when writing files.
Right now i'm using CyanogenMod 10.0.0-maguro with jelly bean 4.1.2 and franco.kernel 3.0.51-nightly-512GPU and i have already tried going back to stock.
how can a I check if my hardware is fine? Is there any app out there?
Thanks!

512GPU? You mean your GPU is overclocked? Maybe try to set your GPU to stock. And if it gets really hot and you have random reboots you can try to over volt with trickster mod.

No, I don't think my GPU is overclocked, that's the full name of the kernel, you say that the kernel automatically puts my GPU to 512?. Anyways i just installed that kernel two days ago just because i thought it might make the reboots go away. I'm having rebooting problems since february (just after upgrading to 4.2.1), so i don't think that the GPU is causing the reboots.
