Xperia Arc hangs and reboots when playing demanding games - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm using Arconium ICS with Trinity Kernel (they're all latest versions) on my Arc, so far so good, but whenever I play a demanding game such as Six Guns, Riptide GP, the phone hangs and then reboots. I have tried many times and the problem still persists. Does anybody ever see this problem before. I would love to have some input on that

Go BAck To Stock KErnel For Better Gaming Performance.

Use a different kernel, i recommend Doomkernel for gaming and overclocking (depending if your ROM will let you use Doomkernel)

How is your ArcKnight kernel ? I remembered using this when it was 1.x - it's OK but not something that I want to use long-term.

FPS drops randomly

Alright, so, I've had my nexus for a few months now, it's been the best phone ever, really happy with it.
The past 3 or so days, the Lil thing started to get FPS drops in every single game I played. It goes all butter smooth for a while, then, for about 5-10 seconds, it just goes with 2-3 fps, then goes back to buttery smooth for a while, and the thing repeats.
Games it happened during: Benji bananas, manuganu, slingshot racers, subway surfers, temple run 2, temple run oz.
All of these games worked perfectly before, no sort of lag whatsoever.
Rom I was using: xenon hd 7.1, I had it on for a few weeks then the lags started, I had ak kernel installed.
Thought to change kernel, tried Franco, same thing happened. Changed back to an updated version of ak, same thing.
Meanwhile this, the new xenon hd 8 was released, I installed it today, thinking it will surely fix the problem, it didn't.
I tried forcing gpu rendering, no improvement. it only happens when I play games tho, at least that's when I notice it happening, phone is butter smooth everywhere else.
Also, tried running the apps with and without any other apps in the background. The cpu is untouched, no over clocking no undervolting no nothing.
Any suggestions?
Anyone has any idea?

Try getting pimp my Rom ( search it on the play store) , install init.d and go into tweaks then kernel and select both I/O options, all the sleepers and reenable vsync.

[Q] random reboots nxt1.3 with doomkernel v14

Hello all,
Since the last month i've been having random reboots with my phone.
It happens when i'm listening to music, checking my email, checking 9gag or when i'm not using the phone at all (etc, etc)
I have a R800I With unlocked bootloader. Xperia nxt1.3 bij krisdee and doomkernel v14.
It worked fine before but now i get around 4/5 reboots a day. I even did a full reinstall of the rom and kernel ( I flashed .58 enhanced V2 and V3, went into recovery and installed the nxt 1.3. And installed doomkernel again) this helped for a week. after that it started rebooting randomly again.
I've tried creating a log but it doesnt save the last entries before it reboots.
Does anyone know what i can do to fix this or is it time to get a new phone?
thanks in advance
Did you overclock your Play? Try set it 800MHz and see how stable it is.
Or stress it with overclock (play should be stable even at 1.6GHz on lite usage). If it reboots on less speed, then maybe it's time for new Play.
Also, check your other apps. Have you installed something new recently?
Try also to keep slider open and see is it rebooting (could Be flex problem)
And lastly, maybe it's battery problem. When it reboots, is battery level same as before reboot? More then 10% difference means it could be battery fault
Also, use other rom. Nxt 1.3 should be stable, but just to rule out that possibilty

Just Install The new version of this rom !!

had nxt 1.3 with doomkernel installed over 6 months. never had a problem with this combination.
did you mod something or installed something that wants to start itself from time to time?

Thank you for the quick reply,
Nxt 1.3 is overclocked by default to 1.2ghz, But i will try and see what happens when i underclock it to 800mhz.
I have not installed anything in the last months.
I will also try the slider,
and lastly, the battery does seem to drop a huge amount after each reboot. if it still happens after underclock i think i need a new one.
once again, thanks a lot

I did not change anything in the setup, nor did I install something that wants to start itself from time to time, aside for stuff like facebook and outlook. it is pure nxt 1.3, not overclocked over the default 1.2ghz in nxt1.3

Oh man , I really wouldn't do this! You got a 1.4ghz phone and oc to 1.6 is fully okay.
I warned you , you will be responsible when your phone doesn't want to start no more anyday.
UHD Rom hasn't so much increases than the Stock Rom , it got only small increases.
Try a Cyanogenmod 9 Rom , they are fast , and the batterylife is only WOAH!
CM9 is only avalible for unlocked bootloader.

Oh okay then this overclocking isn't soooo hard
Use CM9 , cause Arc/S handle Ice Cream Sandwich best.
CM10 is good too , but after 4-5 days it hangs over a gain!
Overclocking does not give you any noticeable performance boost, don't count on it. Better look, what is causing the lag in your phone.

ICS is very very very bad for gaming. Use Gingerbread, works best for games. JB might also do the deal, but still GB has best performance.

[Q] Tegra Overclock App Problem/Questions

Hello,
I installed 'Tegra Overclock' (paid version from google play) yesterday on my HOX. After setting the governor to 'interactive', my phone began to lag like hell and CPU suddenly went to over 70 C within 10 seconds. Luckily everything works again like before because I've powered my phone off & on.
Is that normal? Can someone provide me a explanation or some proper settings for gaming? I just need settings for demanding games such as Real Racing 3, everything else I'd leave stock anyway. (switching via profiles in the tegra overclock app from gaming to stock I mean)

try another kernel and check if you have the same issues
if you do, you should try another governor/scheduler setting, otherwise you are fine

I think the problem maybe it's because you are using an old version of the rom... maybe if you try another rom like Bane of Speed or Gin2Kitkat that are more actual the problem of your lag maybe dissapear... the other thing maybe is your kernel... i found really fast the Lupus Gb-ICS v7, maybe if you try with diferent roms and kernels you can find the best one for you.
