any new solution for multitasking.. SD class maybe? - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

after 1 year using my arc (stock).. there's no major issues can be notice than the horrible multitasking of programs running on phone.. especially the games.. when you playing say Angry bird and then received a call, check email or message.. and come back again to resume your game you'll see its restarting and everything is gone.. also the browser apps like Opera.. every time you go to check another app and come back again it'll restart everything
have been thinking if its because the lake speed of my SD card 'cuz its class 2.. but i have tested it and the result came 6.6 MB for read .. 12.5 for Write..
so is there any way to fix that.. do i need to root my device, or shall i wait for the upcoming update ICS?

It will be worse with ICS because it'll be using more RAM.
I would try a rom like Arconium, I can multitask on it pretty well

just hope the late of update the original Arc is for good.. i think it's the last update for Xperia 2011, by then i'll definitely go for rooms stuff.. after long time have being doing that since the days of C905

Is anyone else finding their Arc starting to lag?

I have had my Arc since it first came out in the UK but have noticed on occasions of late that it seems to have developed a lag, especially on things like accessing the gallery & messaging. Has anyone else noted this?
Nope. However I do use a cache cleaner every few weeks.

Yup, after about 2 weeks mine started to lag every once in a while. I just assumed it was because of some faulty app. So I did a clean install, and 2 weeks later it was the same again. (didn't install too many apps this time)
Mine is still great.
try an app called fast reboot....I find it speeds things up
No lag at all here, 2 months in.
Had the Arc (UK) about 2 months and in the last two weeks things have really started to lag. Have had to resort to rebooting and cleaning the cache regularly but it only takes a day to start lagging again. Wondering whether there is a CPU/ memory hog there in my app suite or a widget but haven't been able to identify anything yet. Once the phone goes below 40-50MB free it is all over and I have to reboot.
This may sound weird but my phone lags during the day and it runs super fast at night lol

I have this lags, too. But I had not to reboot the system, yet...
Any more ideas?
Cheers!

After update on Android 2.3.3 i don't hve any lag. Before that I had lag but nothing to worry about. I think it was Android 2.3.2 that cousses lag.

Same here after about 1 to 2 days the phone memory goes to about 25MB and is practically not useable and need to reboot. I am on 2.3.3
I went through my apps & by trial & error ended up removing a particular app & that seems to have sped things up a bit. Also downloaded a history cleaner & used that & that has improved things a bit as well. But in certain areas it definitely still seems to lag. Have to wonder now if it is something to do with the Arc's hardware?
ok guys after using SeePU+++ i think i found the process that uses the most cpu power and lags down our Arc is "ndroid.process.acore"
not sure what it does but i believe it is the culprit for random slow downs and lag on our phone...
does anyone know what it does? can anyone confirm my findings?
P.s. I am on global generic 2.3.3 firmwre 145
This problem may be caused by a bug in the Google Contacts Sync , just as seen in this bug:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2377
In other devices like HTC Evo this problem persist
http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-sup...ore-why-sucking-up-so-much-battery-power.html
http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-sup...andom-reboots-magic-bullet-facebook-sync.html
I don't have the Google Sync activated and i don't feel my Arc Laggy
This phone is incredibly laggy. Many FCs or lags when I open the messaging app or other apps... Very sad and frustrating.
One of the major causes of lag on the HTC hero was having too many text messages stored on the phone. Ever since then i tend to not let the numbers build up too much, and i havent noticed any lag problems on the arc (maybe it's a general android problem).

one of the main android apps, your keybord and other important funtions are here, so my advice : dont touch it or you end up reflashing ROM

Anyone have this problem with the recent releases of Tiger Arcade?

Whenever I play any game, the emulator has 'hiccups' where it'll lag on certain points while I'm playing..the hiccups last a few seconds and goes away for a minute or two then comes back...
I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem with the recent releases of tiger arcade?
I heard that this issue comes from the MicroSD card

no is not from microsd as u turn the sound off for the games then games will run smooth and suspect is xperia play original speed (1.0Ghz) is not capable of running most games fullspeed with sound enable.
thanks
Hiccups are bound to happen if you've got a lot of apps that require attention at the same time you are playing.
I had this problem too. I just reinstalled older version.. Updates are big **** whenever the app. ( Black pegasus last update for example, unplayable, hate the updates. )

Yeah I'm aware of that but what bugs me is hiccups happen when they didn't before...

G9 FC'ing everything after update to 4.05

bought this not even 24 hours ago. didn't mess with it too much before i updated so i can't say for sure its the update. but everything i do it seems to work for a couple minutes then FC. market included. i'll reboot and that will work for a little while and then back to FC'ing everything.
also when i go into all settings/apps/all its still showing a firmware update there.
should i revert back to 3.2 and see if anything is jacked up or what?
sounds like a weird bug. try "resetting android" in recovery. I don't remember by heart but I think you may need to re-install archos aos you can download here http://www.archos.com/support/support_tech/updates_fwm.html?country=us&lang=en

thanks shano. same thing this morning. my daughter was playing with it and watching videos for about an hour and then BOOM, FC for everything.
i think im gonna roll back to honeycomb and give that a whirl for a while.
Try installing a task killer or using the built in task killer. Sounds like your running low on memory. Try uninstalling any apps that start at boot too.

I get this all the time too, really annoying...
Sent using XDA Premium HD from my ICS Powered tablet
ok guys i reverted back to 3.2 last night and started fresh. we'll see how things go this weekend
looks like that may have fixed it. had it on all day and no FC'ing.
ICS might have jacked up when i did it over wifi due to when the tab went to sleep it killed the wifi. i had to start it up like 3 times!
i am using now 4.0.6 test 2 firmware it seems more stable but browser still hangs some times and
divice becomes unresponsive. so im using nemus launcher (free from Google play) and stopped default launcher. its much faster especially when i stopp all using system task manager
and by the way i have no gps , wifi , hdmi problems at all but apss still cant use my sdcard :-( .

If the tablet hangs try changing the CPU governor to performance using Set CPU or something similar as this fixed all my hangs . Hotplug seems to cause hangs quite a lot.

[Q] New canvas a1 lots of force close

Guys I have brought a new canvas a1 2 days ago.. Since day 1 i am getting lots of force close of google apps, games etc. I have just installed 10 apps of my own apart from the builtin ones and they are small apps like yahoo mail, speedtest, etc. Also my phone got stuck into a reboot loop two times on day1 itself so after trying a lot i finally had to flash my phone with stock rom(which i downloaded from this forum) but even after that it was stuck in boot loop so i flashed it again and then i was able to boot normally. Now i get force close and even restart when i open asphalt 8(which i downloaded today) even at low quality setting in graphics.
All of the above is being experienced on stock rom. I have not installed any custom roms
Please suggest help me ppl. Its my new phone:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
it seems like your phone has an issue probably hardware. you should have claimed the warranty if you found bugs in your default rom instead of flashing. you are not supposed to flash, it's their responsibility to fix your device if there is an issue.
Ok, i am working so cannot go on weekdays to service center. ill probably take it to them this weekend.

but make sure your phone is not rooted and bootloader is locked. if it's rooted, make sure to unroot it, you can find tutorials in this forum for that.
Got the previous one changed as it was doa

Thanks for your reply ppl..
Got the device changed for the second time which makes my current canvas a1 3rd one in 7 days
Any ways i wanted to confirm a few things here on canvas a1:
1) Do any of you here get "contacts has stopped working" when you get a call??
2) Some apps disappear from home screen after you switch off your phone and switch it back on(mostly those on mmc i guess)?
3) Slow app downloads from playstore (I have 5MBps pack @ my place and on my other devices like Xolo q1000s, when i download an app from playstore it downloads atleast 3-4MB per second but on my canvas a1 it usually downloads @Max 1MB per second[tried same app at same time] although 1or 2 times i have got 3-4MB per second.)
P.S the 3rd problem was not encountered on my second canvas a1 but its there on the third 1.

[Q] Acro S slow, everything crashes

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.. ?
