Factory reset after a couple of mods? - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Okay so since I got my Nexus 7, my arc s seems insanely slow (this is conspirancy, I'm telling you), its freezing a lot to the point where it's as slow as my previous Galaxy Spica.
Now, I'm running rooted stock, with Xperia S keyboard and lockscreen and modified systemui, im curious what will happen if I press factory reset inside settings? Or am I better off flashing ftf with Flashtool?
Any other reason why it would all of a sudden start acting like a snail?
Thanks!

I
My GN every time I boot says, Android is Upgrading, start applications, what do this means???

This is normal. Your phone is not updating its building app cache or something.
Search is your friend.
Question is though... Why is it always rebuilding?
Is it still completely stock from Day 1 of purchase?
Have you rooted it? If so, what method?
Have you installed any apps?
Have you tried doing a factory reset? (Ensure you back up your data)
The phone is purelly stock
I havent done nothing except using it and installing apps...the regular as an every day phone...i got since sunday
Should I factory reset?
Thanks

mine does it to. its normal
I can tell you its not normal for it to happen on every single boot! It's probably an app that is causing issues with the os. Try and remember what you recently installed and uninstall a couple apps to try and narrow it down. This happened to me when I installed Wallet.
mine has done it since i powered it on out of the box the very 1st time. so i'd say its normal
I wonder why its doing it then? If on my device it only does it when system files are being played with but on others on every boot?
Happens for me too, only noticed it since upgrading to 4.01 (stock)

[Q] strange reset

hi i am on 2.3.4 (58), rooted and supercharged, and something strange happened. My phone reset itself. After the reset, I found I only had two options on the power menu, power off and snapshot, compared to the normal 4 options. Also, the home(middle) button doesn't have any effect. One more thing I have noticed is the the lock screen doesn't show up either. After this unprompted reset, the crappy bloatware was back on my phone. Has this happened to anyone before? I have tried both hard and soft resets of the phone, but it hasn't made a difference. I will try using seus but was wondering anyone else seen this?

I had indeed removed the setupwizard.apk so it makes sense.

Help, Screen view problem!!

Ok, I really don't know what happened. I charged the phone last night, and it froze overnight( not a normal occurrence). So this morning I did a battery pull and restart. It had some issues restarting, it took 3 tries to get it to work. Then when it did start, the display was odd. Everything is very small. The display still stretches the entire screen, just very small. Almost like the phone thinks it is a tablet. I was running cm9, but I flashed back to stock FTF about a month ago. Only thing done since is root (to retrieve titanium backups) and install cwm. I know that I could probably flash again and solve problems, but I just don't want to mess with rooting and restoring again. I tried clearing cache and dalvic cache, but no luck. I have attached screenshots of the problem. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Not sure what is up with the notification bar, but it goes away when in landscape mode. (shown in pic)
Mybe u should refer this to the rom thread or read through the rom thread 1st. Coz mybe sm1 already suffers the same issues with the rom..

I'm not running any custom rom. I flashed back to ftf. Running stock fine for the past month until today

Bad .ftf mybe. Did u hav another .ftf u could flash?? If dont try downloading another 1 n try flashing it again. But looking at ur screen did u install custom mod/theme on ur stock rom??

...That looks pretty sweet actually, garbled notification text aside XD
My big question is what could cause this even? I've nevrr even heard of this happening
Sent from my R800x using xda premium
No, no custom themes or any build.prop edits. But, could this be caused or fixed by a build.prop edit?

>that's your phone trolling you..
It looks like your pixel density is messed up all the small icons I remember messing around with it before and thats what it use to happen when I set it to high... I remember there is an app that can do that if ur rooted but the blurry notification don't know what could cause that

It was the lcd density. I went into rom toolbox and checked it. The slider was at the minimum. I raised it to half and rebooted. Problem solved. It also fixed the notification bar. Does anyone know the correct density to use?

Actually, the default density for the Play is 240.

Problems with stock ics....

Is anyone having the issue where the phone freezes and then goes to the lockscreen and reloads?...when it does this, my clock reads the wrong time until i reboot...
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Try clearing your cache.
Or try one of the ics ROMs from the development section

I was having that problem the first 2 days of stock Rooted ICS. Oddly, the problem stopped on it's own without the need for further action :/

Well i know with my hd2 that the rom free space was a problem...i had 77mb free with gb and 6mb with ics...so i uninstalled all the apps i wasn't using with titanium and gained 100mb extra...so the rom has room to do it's thing...we'll see if this works...

same here - time "changes" throughout the day
I had the same problem.
OK here's my scenario, I rooted once I upgraded from the kies ics update via the stock root on GalaxyS2Root.com and then had these problems, I then get (very) angry and decided to try it a different way, so I un-rooted, still having hang then fast restart with buttons lit up. So after I put stock ics on there I did a factory reset in stock recovery, then re-rooted now it's Ok, even though the wifi strength is horrific on the stock ics regardless (anyone else having this problem?). But this permanently fixed my problem. Hope this helped!
P.S. - I froze almost all of the stock bloatware with titanium backup as well still works great!

[Q] .119 ICS Reboots

so i did full wipes during all my installs. no back ups were made.
before root i did notice a few random force closes on play store and messaging and browser before running new root steps. after reboot i've enjoyed a fully rooted ION for about 48 hours now. today i've had 3 random reboots. all have occurred while listening to music in walkman. one was while i was messing with EQ in sound enhancement... literally i just hear a messed up auditory squeal and then everything freezes and it reboots. wtf!
will try and grab a logcat here soon when i have time. in class atm.
just curious if anyone else has experienced any weird behavior since the latest lt28i ICS flash
I am still on LT28h but have seen this issue a couple of times now. Have not been getting random reboots but have had a few times where it will squeal and lock up.

Agreed, I've had no issue on 233fw. I switched back from 19fw, just didn't see any reason since everything was running perfectly on 233.
I haven't had a problem with this so far, butI did with the lt28h before. I just switched to the lt28at ics yesterday.

What problems? I'm on ATT running 233, pretty much flawless performance.
I used them all - non gave random reboot. I flashed back to .119 international fw, I like phone word search better than number search. And don't have to deal with AT&T bloatwares.

I have trouble with the phone restarting while I am listening to music on the walkman app. Usually only when I am also using a GPS tracking app like endomondo or runkeeper.

I'm on the lt28i latest firmware and I've had two crash reboots, and like the blue screen of death. No Walkman or gps, just stand by. Anyone also still experiencing this?

Haven't had any crashes or reboots on mine using 2.29 lt28i firmware

I have flashed all the Roms except the at&t ones. But never had this reboot issue.
You guys are the first one to report this. If it is frequent, then it might be some thing to do with the hardware.
Taking it to a service center is a better option.
Ok I had this happen only once in an extream accident situation. Fist I have lt28i ics 119.
So had walkmen running in background was removing bloatware and accidentally opened a game. As soon as the game booted I got a blue screen and a reboot. Luckily I had a log recorder going and it was as follows.
Device has crashed due to an excess of. The app overheat control has rebooted your device. The temperature was +77c
So retried freezing this app and repeated the process and my phone did not crash but was terribly laggy so I adjusted my cpu frequencys and tried again and no lag no overheat no reboot.
This could be your problem. I recommend a temperature widget to keep an eye on this. Please reenable the overheat controll after its purpose is to protect our device.
Good luck.
