**** Note, this thread is not pointing fingers at ROM Devs *****
So starting back when porting of ICS from skyrocket was done I never had any random reboots or crashes fast forward to about 2 weeks ago when sudden and many freezes, lock ups and random reboots started. I first started seeing it on darkside v3 and it continued to darkside v6 during which time I decided to bounce to AOKP which gave me the same results.
Things I have tested are:
[1] Different ROMs (all based on 4.0.3)
[2] 3 different SDCards, all brand new
[3] Running different radios
[4] No apps installed, basic default setup after ROM flashed with and without add-on launchers. Tested using TW, Nova and Apex.
[5] Formatted sdcard and internal storage
[6] New battery - pending results, ordered 2 days ago will be here Wednesday
[7] New bluetooth - pending results, ordered 2 days ago will be here Tuesday (Not sure if it would help but it was a good excuse to tell the wife)
[8] Flashed multiple times using CWM (non-touch) and TWRP
Anytime a ROM is flashed I always superwipe and on a few occasions I have manually select clear/format section via CWM. My flashing steps are perfect and followed to a T per AOKP and Darkside. Ive always flashed 100% battery charge and anytime I try to logcat I'm unable to get a log due to the random reboot because it won't save the log.
Once the new battery gets here and that doesn't work I'm completely lost with what else I can try. Does anyone who has experience and knows the file system of 4.0.3 > 4.0.4 know if something has been changed that may help or does anyone have any other method for me to find the issue at hand? Also keep in mind running darkside GB based on 2.3.6 is stable as hell.
Your assistance is much appreciated.
I had freezes and reboot when I went from 4.0.3 to 4.0.4
then I just started from fresh. I Odin 'd to stock, and I started fresh with apparently and data. Didn't use titanium backup.. have not had a freeze or reboot since. I really think most users issues are because they are restoring old data.
Edit. After re-reading your thread I see that you never flashed a 4.0.4 rom. I really don't know why u are having issues.. your method of flashing looks really sound

Oh to add to that I have never restored apps with data or apps. I always go to the play store and reinstall fresh.
How old is your phone? I've only had mine since Mar and I've flashed plenty, restored apps with data, and no reboots or freezes.

Maybe 4-5 months old.
well if you wiped all that and you still getting random lags and you re flashed your CWM
just make sure you download count hasnt moved you know when your in download mode
cause it might be hardware and try
darkside v7
and AOKP B40
if its not the software then its the hardware
you could always try odin and start fresh that always seems to work on mine
Odin or cwm 5.0.2.7

I odin and started fresh and ran ICS stock for 3 days with no crashes or issues. I then rooted and flashed new ICS Rom and have not had any issues for the past 48 hours. Everything doing great. Something must have been stuck between all the upgrade/flashes that were causing the crashes.
Eugene fixed the reboots on AOKP, as far as AOKP, it was ROM related.

Yeah I read that earlier on twitter and although there was reboot issues my phone was just tripping. After odin to stock and starting fresh I have no issues with darkside however I might grab the latest AOKP with Eugene kernel. I hear good things.

The battery life is awesome, though probably not as good as Darkside.
Just be sure to flash the one from the link I provided. That one has the fixed kernel and ROM

My stock phone was just fine and then.. Crashing, freezing, random rebooting, call echo, missed calls and missed text. My phone was possessed by some android demon after upgrading to 4.0 from Samsung via Kies. A google search took me to XDA. I'm a noob and all but I read every post and I watched all your YouTube videos (thank you ScreamingSkulls, that helped a lot). TDJ posted the DARKSIDE v4 rom while i was reading his thread so I flashed my first custom rom. No major problems, the camera froze when I first opened it but I killed it and it worked fine after that (I later read that others had that happen too). I flashed the v5 rom then v7.. I did have an issue when I flashed the VENOM 03 #3 kernel. After I flashed it stuck for a long time on the S logo (animating). I got it to reboot successfully so I flashed it again just be sure and it worked. I also flashed the VENOM 03 #5 kernel yesterday and everything is running smooth.
My phone was running for about 52 hours before my doubletwist app started changing songs by itself and freezing lol, this isn't the first time it's happened, I've even done a clean install from odin, funny thing is, with GB could run my phone for almost 5 days or more straight if I let it with no issues, but ICS seems a bit more laggy, I think I'll wait for the dev's to whip up some extra mean stuff until there is an official repair for it.
Nice thread. Id been reading about that reboots. I can tell you im on jaminson' s rom and no problem here about that or apps fcs. Smooth and stable. Is nice to read that you fix it

I had hellish problems with ics, echo randomly in speaker, headset, even bluetooth, on wifi and not. App crashes, camera hosing, reboots, major scroll lag, touch lag, i ended going back to ginger a few times.
What i found out is to NOT RESTORE OR TOUCH ANYTHING! I have always run tdj's roms since he started putting them out but used titanium back to restore nonsystem apps, used rom tool box to tweak a few minor things.
I am running darkside evolution with v5 of ds kernel, i did not restore anything with tb didnt tweak any thing os just settings wise. Only loaded bare min apps i need. I do highly recommend nova launcher, its nice and fast and better on battery.
Just loading the ROM fresh and nova only issues are a few echo calls but very minimal. Performance and battery life are insane, I'm currently 15hr at 65% battery on light to moderate use, incredible. Otherwise runs perfectly great. Probably apps are just not totally ics compatible not sure.

My Arc S randomly reboots itself, some 2-5 times per day.
I have unlocked bootloader, tried 3 custom kernels (ArcKnight, stock 4.1.A.0.562 and stock 4.1.B.0.431 with CWM) each with 3 different roms (JJ hybrid, Arconium ICS and Mooded ICS 90.3) and still the same thing. Does anyone know if it's kernel issue, software issue or something else?
Only thing I haven't changed from my stock rom is the baseband (64).
Any chance it's hardware problem?
well maybe the battery would have been loose enough to connect and disconnect from the phone
Completely flash back to stock using pcc repair, that's probably the best idea for the moment if you still get it, then try and figure out when it happens I.e. is it when the phones hot, when your jumping around or completely random.

Turn off your phone, take out the battery put it back in and boot the phone
but make sure you've charged the phone to about 50% atleast

i took off the back cover and shook the phone violently, it doesn't reboot so i guess it's not the battery connection.

it reboots completely random, sometimes when sitting on the desk, sometimes in the middle of conversation...the heat is normal for the usage situation (no heat when not using the phone). have to see how to use pcc repair, since i haven't used it. i have stock backup made from CWM recovery after unlocking the bootloader and flashing new kernel. maybe i can restore that backup?

Same issue here, please post what apps u have installed - maybe its third party software problem.
looks like kernel panic..are you doing undervolting? which governor are you using and at wat frequency?

undervolting? governor? i even dunno what those things are I just flashed the kernels that i listed above and used them as they are. i had the same problem with all of them, except when i think a bit, i didn't have problems from the very start. there were some rom versions maybe with combination of the apps that i was using at that time that didnt make my phone reboot. i just dont remember which roms and versions they were
Same issue here
Any result yet lalek?
I'm running Mooded ICS 90.7 on my Arc S, with DoomKernel 2.6.32.9, baseband 72, unlocked bootloader and rooted (obviously), and over the past week or so it's been doing random reboots. Sometimes twice a day, sometimes it will go for a few days.
Apps are Titanium Backup, Link2SD, AVG free, Dolphin HD, Superuser, MX Player, and just the usual banking apps, Angry Birds, Gmail etc. It's only rebooted while sitting on the desk sleeping, never while in use. I've uninstalled apps, found it still random reboots so reinstalled them. I'm starting to think its ROM or kernel related.
You should try re-flashing stock ROM ftf file using Flashtool, I recommend 0.587, see link on my signature for ftf file.
Try that for a few days, I'm sure it will be stable, then you can further customize the ROM.
Also be careful of heat if using some sort of tight-fitting case with the phone.
Thanks
I'll try that tonight!
I do have one of those TPU cases and had the phone pretty hot gaming while charging, but it's never hot when it does the reboot.
It will happen when RAM eaten by running application in background. Uninstalling a few apps will be help.

hi guys,
same problem here on my Xperia Arc
i have worked out what is causing the issue for me.
i ran a logcat that updated live to a file on my sd card so as soon as the device rebooted, it had logged the very last thing that happened on the device.
turns out the last thing happening was WiFi scanning.
i then turned my WiFi off and for the past 3 days i have not experienced a reboot at all!
when this first happened these are the steps i took.
i completely wiped the device (factory reset, wipe dalvik cache, wipe cache partition, format system)
i then flashed Baseband 77 using flashtool
i then flashed fxp149 using flashtool
i then flashed Baseband 77 libs using CWM
i then flashed AOKP JB M1-R1 ROM using CWM
i then flashed gapps using CWM
i the reloaded all apps from the market and not applied any backups and yet it still rebooted all the time.
Since then i have tried using
Fusion 3.8
Fusion 3.9
Fusion 4.0
FXP 148
FXP 150
Stock Kernel inside ROM .zip file.
I have also tried putting it back to Baseband 72 but it made no difference.
I then decided to go all the way back to stock firmware as it is out of the box.
so I used flashtool and flashed LT18i_4.1.B.0.587_(1254-2716).ftf
I reloaded my applications and monitored the device only to see that by the next day, the problem had returned.
THIS IS NOT A ROM OR KERNEL ISSUE!!
or at least it isnt for me, but it sounds EXACTLY the same as what everyone here is experiencing
i advise everyone, no matter what ROM or Kernel you are running to try turning off your wifi or even putting the device in airplane mode for a day and monitor
also try running a live logcat
to do this, open a terminal session and type
su
cd sdcard
logcat >> logcat.txt
then leave the terminal running in the background. (you will have the icon in the notification area that tells you its running)
you can then check your sd card and will see logcat.txt file there
you need to open it in wordpad or something of the sort as notepad doesnt display it nicely enough to read
anyone who tries this i would love to hear how it goes
i am curious to see exactly what is causing this but im starting to think it is a hardware issue.
hope this helps!!

It is a problem with battery connection. It is like a fabrique fault with Arc S. You have it explained here:

HI Guys
I'm an old iOS user but switched to android 2 months ago with a wonderful Note 2 International running android 4.1.1
after one month of use I decided to root my device for VPN service and custom ROM benefits
Everything went fine. First rooted with odin 3.07, then decided as most of users recommended to flash ARHD 11.2
After using my device for 2 weeks I noticed poorer battery performance. 4 days ago, After a lot of searching online I decided to flash Omega 12 then Perseus 33.3 for better battery performance and better control of my CPU.
That's what I did. First, wiped all data through CWM then installed Omega 12 ---> Perseus 33.3 ---> clean cached data ----> restored my apps through titanium ----> fixed permissions ---> charged my mobile to 100% then wiped battery stats ---> set gpu to 440mhz and cpu scaling --> frequency responsiveness to 600mhz === every thing went very good with wonderful performance and battery life with 40 hours battery life ,more than 7 hours onscreen and also did couple of successful restarts to change SIM card .I thought that's it "I will stick with this system forever no matter what."
:highfive::highfive::highfive::highfive:
As I said, after 40 hours of battery life my battery died so I put my note 2 with the recharger while off because it was night time. Next morning, I unplugged my phone then turned it on but my startup screen keep showing the big robot walking with no ending for 30 minutes. Tried to restart the phone couple times, searched online for a similar issue but nothing related to omega and Perseus, wiped cache, dalvik but still the same.
:crying::crying::crying::crying:
Finally, I restored an image through CMV contains my 4.1.1 old stoke ROM + factory kernel just after rooting. My smartphone now is working fine.
My question now is "Why did it happened? Did this happen with anybody before with the same circumstances? and what is the possibility of this happening again if I tried to flash a custom ROM or a new kernel?
I'm ready for any questions

Firstly, NEVER let you battery die completly, it is not good for the overall life of the battery.
Secondly if that ever happens boot to recovery and clear dalvik cache and fix permissions. This will usually help.
It's hard to say exactly what cause this issue without a log.
Also, please keep regular backups through your preferred recovery, as this will help if you need to go back.
Cheers,
Evil.
Thanks for the tips.... really appreciated

same thing happened to me exactly .
same rom same kernel
i couldnt even restore a previous backup of omega from a week ago - it just wouldnt restore without rebooting !!
also, for my note 2 to work again i had to reflash my recovery (twrp) via odin and reinstall my rom.
i had a whole load of other issues and in all honesty im almost thinking i may have a broken NAND chip - sudden death - not quite, but im patched for that, but may be a small fail on the chip had caused this event , i really dont know.
im back to normal now but im stll very worried about the next few days - please read my other post where i explained this fault at the time it happened.

So, here's the scoop. I put an overclock kernel on my phone a few months back, I can't tell you which one specifically. Problems started when i did some traveling and was switching back and forth between airplane mode and the battery running out of charge. tried fully charging the thing, fully emptying the battery. tried flashing up to doomlord's jb leak, and kernel, no dice, get an error when installing the zip
went back to 6.28 and got it to flash, then root and cmw, but still craps out after a few minutes. any ideas on how to regain stability?
Simon
It's almost like a heat thing. flashed full 6.28 and it seemed to be okay until it started trying to download apps. then crapping out all over the place. sometimes reboots, sometimes just hangs. tried to OTA the 3.7 update and failed twice before crashing a few times.
Well...by looking at your phone prob,it is most likely software prob,not hardware.....well,have you make sure yiu flashed the stock kernel too?And the overclock setting is back to stock again?

wondering if someone can help me - i have installed SlimBean 4.2.2 build 5 on my Xperia S, it works fine for a little while after boot but then becomes horribly laggy and slow - to the point where the phone is completely unusable. It worked without any issues for the last 24 hours, but just now it's lasted about an hour after boot before becoming unusable. It seems completely random. I've tried reinstalling, made sure I have done a proper wipe of system/data/cache/dalvik etc and redownloaded the ROM to try it again.
I can't figure out what the issue is - it seems to happen randomly even with no apps apart from the basic GApps installed. Any help would be appreciated!
Ask in SlimBean thread. I think you don't use instructions of installing SlimBean.

Reinstall the ROM with no GApps (of course wipe all things)
Reboot system
Let the ROM settle down
Reboot into recovery and flash GApps
Reboot system and let the ROM settle down
Reboot
Thanks for the replies - I tried the steps above, gave it plenty of time to settle and rebooted as you said - but it's still slow to the point of unusable after a period (usually when waking up from idle/sleep). Very weird. Not sure what the issue is, might roll it back to an old ROM.
Its coz on 4.2.2 the rayman's kernel second core turns to wheatly leading the max & min freq to the least.It makes it slow
