hi,
I have the Sony arc s LT18a (4.0.4 ,build 4.1.B.0.587) for 2 months and for a while i have very bad battery drain - I lose 50% in 2 hours.
I have already repaired software, factory reset, installed older android, switched to a new battery, brightness low, WiFi off , 3G on.
I have installed battery monitor widget and it show high current (150-400 mA) even on Airplain mode.
I pretty sure that the problem is not the mobile provider cause the drain on airplain mode is almost the same. but i did tried different Sim.
I have checked that the frequencies on LT18 OK for my provider.
I don't know what to do...any ideas?
Bad hardware! If in warranty repair it!

Not a normal situation. Have it checked at the service center.

i also have have the lt18a on at&t.
disable 'fast dormancy' and you'll see the huge difference.
just delete the fast.dormancy.apk from system/app.

can't delete the fast.dormancy.apk - "error deleting file"
the phone should be rooted?

Yes the phone must be rooted so you can use root uninstaller to delete it, its a very good program to delete some crappy ware

After update to 105, I have another notice software update to 6.1.C.1.107 and updating right now
how are you getting these notifications. I'm not getting anything!
Yeah, I am getting no update notifications. Everything I try says I'm already up-to-date.
Im not getting any notifications either. When i check for and update it says i cant check for one until 24 hours has passed -.-
I tried to upgrade my girlfriends ion and it said the same as many of you, that it was up to date and there was no update. I used the Sony support chat line and asked what was up, I was told I wasn't really supposed to be aware of the upgrade as it had not officially been released yet, and that it would be official and ready at 9:30AM tomorrow. I was not told if that was EST or what time zone also, in case anyone is wondering.

Ics my xperia ion
I just check software update on xperia ion i28at but not new update , i connect to pc companion and notification say " your phone has last update " . Firmware my phone is 2.3.7 , xperia ion i28at
Yeh I flashed back to stock GB then updated via SUS. Once I booted up and connected to wifi I got the update notification on the phone to .107 even though SUS said I had the latest version. 107 was only about 23mb.

I'm getting a loop between .05and 07. Updated to version on SuS and booted up got a notification for .05 wth--

No loop for me. Once i got the notification for .107 on the phone and updated that was it. Can't check for updates manually on the phone more than once a day.
Clearing data for update center, then turning off automatic notifications will temporarily stop the update loop cycle. At least that has worked for me - no notification for the past 18 hours. So far the new ROM looks solid, rooted very easily with the new quick root method in this forum.
The best part is, the Cell standby battery use seems to have been fixed - YAY - so hoping to get a full day of use easily on this ROM. A few small quirks - maybe with individual apps (did not wipe data between my updates) - could be the reason. For example, Gemini app manager no longer can identify the permissions for each app - that was something I used heavily to keep my apps under control. Memory use is higher as some users pointed out, but I would expect it with a newer OS - does not seem to affect performance much, although my home launcher has been restarting every now and then (I use Holo Launcher HD).
So far so good - lets see how battery and performance work out for the next few days - but the Ion feels like a solid performer now with ICS - if we could get JB on it someday... but I guess I am being greedy
Cheers - thanks Spectre51 for yet another accurate prediction on the update.

Have you been checking the server all day? I have and now I cannot get 107 back ATM, maybe 107 wasn't even suppose to be out, I really think 107 had a security flaw I rooted that sooooo easy, but im having a hell of a time on 105 for some reason,
Speaking of which I fixed it, If you have Flash tool and got Superuser installed but didn't acttualy get root, install a fresh FtF then in Flash took click the lock Icon after you do the FtF flash and it roots with SuperSU not Superuser, hate superuser.......
Yeah iv been checking all day I got the update notice but it won't download its really frustrateing

I think AT&T pulled the update back. I flashed back to GB today and then couldn't update via SUS or PC Companion. Flashed the .105 ftf and get no update notification to .107. Guess we will have to wait to see what they release. Just a note .107 isn't listed as certified on ptcrb.com and one thing I did notice about .107 was that you could go to landscape mode even on the home screen which was nice. Can't in .105.

Hey guys, this afternoon my phone turned off itself becouse of the lack of battery life and then it completely lost its capacity to connect to the network ( in order to make calls ).
Its kinda rare becouse when I press and hold the power button to get access to the power menu it says "airplane on" when its off really, even after disable it keeping saying the same.
Ive already restored it, wipe everything in the device but Ive got still the issue going on.
Any ideas? Please I really need help
Thanks

It might be a problem with your carrier. So, I suggest maybe trying to go into places where there is really strong signal and try there. Maybe reboot a couple times. If the problem still persists, then contact your carrier and ask if they have anything to do with it. Because, I almost guarantee that's the problem.

I've already tried it without success, and even called my carrier and they turned to me the network was fine.
I reckon is a problem with the fact that airplane mode is turning on and off automatically
I'm so annoyed with this don't know what to do really

can you try your sim in another phone? or another sim in your phone
I have already tried both options, neither of them worked.
So the problem is with my phone but I'm really in trouble since I haven't got the guaranty of this phone because I traded it for my old device.

Flash stock rom, delete superuser or supersu, and take it to your carrier to complain. If the problem persist on stock then it's really nothing you can fix. You should be able to get a new device.

The problem is that I havent got the guaranty since I trade this phone for another old one that I had. Hope there is way to repair it even if it cost money
Surprising this is... I just cane across this exact problem today. I just removed my SIM Card, put it back in, then rebooted. After a little while I got my signal back.

This happened to me last night. Took my phone off wifi realized I had no connection to my mobile network. Pretty frustrating, but flashed a couple different kernels and seemed to fix the issue.

Welcome
For some time very ofen phone lost network ( calling and sms ). After the reset is well again and after some time shows that there is no signal again.. This happens on different roms and kernels. Even at stock. What could be wrong?
A bit strange that the carrier arent avilable ( calling nad sms ), but connect to the Internet all the time working.
last time Im use wotanserver.com service , unlock bootloader and simlock. Its can be reason ?

Try using baseband 72 or 86 or 66
one of them replies 100%
Does it happen only with your phone? Could it be due to operator's low signal in that area?
Im solved problem by testing. Before Im really think its my phone number, change carrier three time.
All are fine it I do all with install custom rom. It I install kernel next full reset/wipe data next rom all work wellcome. But after im change kernel its happen again.
Thanks for any advice. Subject can be closed.

It does but it gets worse every time. At first it was like 5% and down I tried that trick 10% and down and it steadily got worse with each try now its 30-50 and down and if I play a video even if its at 100% it goes to 1%. Thanks for the thought tho

That was just to test your battery.
Then i have got another idea. Can you install Terminal Emulator, please?
Type rm /data/system/batterystats.bin
This i a path, but it can depend on other devices. If it is not correct, then nothing will happen exept a little notification about it.
Actually you can delete your battery stats. Also for users who doesn't have the point "advanced>wipe battery stats"
This is also a possiblity to fix your problem with your battery.

2012 is when I got it which is when the ion came out. First it had gingerbread if I remember right than ics then finally got jelly bean as a last update. Bootloader locked rooted deodexed bloat removed. Battery should be fine hence I think it is software related.
On a side note sometimes the phone is ligjtening fast but often it will slow to a crawl in my most used apps facebook and browser and txt. When I uninstall facebook and facebook messenger the phone seems to speed up and battery drain is less. First I need ro tackle the 1% issue though lol

Factory reset does the same effect like flashing it new... Dido you get MM over OTA or did you flash it?
I can only imagine you may have flashed a wrong Model-ROM so Baseband etc are not model specific... But ignore my words, I may totally be wrong
I got MM through xperia companion... I did a factory reset using the options in backup.. Is this ok?
Sounds legit... tough I never used companion on any of my xperias...
I,m getting crazy: in two days I have almost finjshed my data.... I did everynthing, even a repair with the xperia companion. Believe me...it's an horrible thing.... Does anyone have a solution?
Are you sure your router isn't faulty? I have MM and no wifi drops
Sent from my E5603 using Tapatalk
I don't have any problems either (other than according to battery management, it takes more battery than I remember). What's the specific model of your phone (E5603, E5606, etc)? You may have already tried but did you check on Wi-Fi advanced settings?
edit: Also, does it works with other networks? Do you remember if you or someone changed something on your router settings recently?
No guys.... Nobady used the router. My tablet xperia z4 doesn t drop... Why does my phone drop? The model number is e5603. My android version is 6.0.
I confirm (E5603). I installed through Xperia Companion and also have problems with wifi.
How can I try to fix the issue? Maybe is there a way to install a firmware using a differnt method such as odin in samsung device?
INstalled update through xperia companion and it works just normally here. May i suggest that you try again?
