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?

will try this first as the simplest solution to start with.
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.
Sorry for my bad english

My wife had same problem, started on stock rom, then i tried root and other roms, stil restarted as it whanted. Peace of paper made little help- from 5-8 restarts per day got 2-3 per day. Had put back stock rom stil once in a while just restart it self. Women stuff- ip webcam to look out of sleeping kid, FB, gmail, web and thats all. Strange

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:

i tried full wipe and it didnt work, tried another rom and it didnt work either, i deleted everything on the device (even sd card) with fukk wipe again, but nothing change

It's a known problem for cm based roms. Solve by rebooting.
Sent from my One X using xda premium
Hey everyone!
I installed CM 10.1 and so far I am really happy with it. My devide runs finally smooth again and the overall experience feels great.
BUT sometimes when I open a new app the device freezes.
After a few seconds (around 20-40seconds) the device does a soft reboot (cyanogen circle appears again until the lock screen is visible again).
This "reboot" doesn't fix the problem.
Once it freezed once, it freezes all the time afterwards.
The only fix I have so far is to do a complete reboot of the device or sometimes even wiping the cache.
Then the phone works again until it freezes (which can take sometimes quite long til the first freeze).
After installing CM10.1 over CWM, I installed the gApps and then did a full wipe (Cache + The other thing).
Anyone knows how to get rid of the freezes?
Thanks for your help in advance!

This problem is due to kernal panic. Flash stock firmware or flash stock based rom may be this will fix your issue.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785089
How r u gonna say its due to kernal panic. That a biased answer. Thats a little extreme to not trying any other solutions first it could be as small as underclocked to far. Im not one to go against any body trying to help but thats worst case scenerio yea u can try tot and if it still happens possibly hardware issue but still could be on software end but theen this user has to restore all apps and much more. You can use other apps to freeze apps to try that. R unrunning a custom kernal or stock naemomr and mods trickster faux anything like that bad build prop edits
This happend with my G3. I tried every possible solution but nothing happend but after flashing tot everything working fine.
If problem with any app or build prop it will fix them also.
And if its hardware issue then contact your carrier.
Hi guys,
after a long search and trying stuffs i have to ask for your help,
i have an a3 2016 a310f

in all roms i had the same problem
the phone every 1-2 seconds it freezes for 1 sec and goes on
it doesnt freeze for a long time just 1 sec and after that it continius lke normal for 2 sec and freezes again
in every rom i installed the same thing happenning
wiped everything every time so many times and nothing

thanks in advance

u can try this:
1. flash another kernel related to your device
2. are u using external sd card? if yes = what class is it? if not = back to no.1
3. are u really flashed correct firmware? if yes = back to no.1. if u are not sure = flash stock rom.
4. if stock still giving u same problem, check no.2. if nothing related to it, continue to no.5
5. download another camera/camcorder app from store, and let me know. if the problem still there, go to no.6.
6. try to turn off mobile data and anything. disable battery saver, power saver, or anything. and try again. if the problem still persist, go to no.7
7. SELL THE PHONE
1. i will try that
2. nope
3.yes flashed correclty firmware and also did the stock rom and the problem doesnt go away
4. yeap
5. bro the camera has no problem
i refered to camera cause it was the easiest way to see what is the problem
camera doesnt lagg the hole phone does, but with the camera u can see this
remove the camera idea from the problem and imagine this happenning in every move u do with phone its no only on camera its everywhere
6. alredy checked that
