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:

Hello guys...
I had some problems of auto rebooting on my phone a month ago when i flashed Rebel Rom Milestone 2 in my phone...after 120+ hours my phone went rebooting itself(the ics boot up animation just appeared and after that...phone started) Sometimes it rebooted in my hands when i was using an app or game...then phone went laggy and as i closed the running app to check my phone...it quickly showed ics boot animation and started...i thought that was a problem in rom.....but recently i made a "full wipe" and flashed xxlm8 value pack stock rom back in my phone...i had a habbit of seeing running apps from settings in order to check ram availability or time of running apps...in this stock rom i saw about 220 to 230+ hours of running and at that same evening
I saw running apps once again and they were showing like 2:30:16 or somthing like that...but so far with stock rom i had not experienced any auto rebooting in front of my eyes...is this normal guys....?the rom is newly flashed and after that timer restart....my running apps are showing about 80+ hours....so could anybody share his experience about this....Thanks !
(B.T.W When i had my factory installed stock rom...i never noticed timings of running apps...this only started when my phone started auto rebooting in rebel rom after certain 120+ hours or so....)

You might have one of the defective phones. I recommend that you flash back to stock ROM before your phone gets bricked.
I have stock ROM xxlm8....flashed through Odin...i dont remember which rom i had when i purchased it.....
Sent from my GT-I8150 using xda premium
After i have flashed xxlm8 through odin....the phone has only auto booted once...if phone had a factory fault...it should have been rebooting randomly...in rebel rom it only booted after 120+ hours or so...
I m still checking in xxlm8 rom as it has only auto booted once after 220 to 230+ hours....after that its showing about 90+ hours now...

Hey guys
after long fight I finally installed the MIUI... but I think nothing goes well on my phone, there must always be something...
First of all, my battery life drains too fast, like 30% per hour, which is a lot, because on the stock ROM I could use the phone more than 12 hours with my music player on... I see in the monitor app that my display uses 77% of battery. Can it be the kernel problem?
and second, all my apps close by itself (not force-close), almost every app, and the keyboard has the biggest problem, it just disappear and I have to push the input area thousand times to make it work again... I installed Swiftkey (buyed a premium version) and the problem is still there... The same goes with the browser, after entering a site or trying to search on google it just closes... Both on stock browser and Opera (tried normal and mini versions)...
Anyone can help?
My phone is: Xperia ARC (Lt15i), Firmware 4.1.b.0.431, running MIUI 2.10.26, I was using Stock ICS Kernel 4.1.B.0.431 with CWM 5.5.0.4 before... now I'm using the one that comes with MIUI.

the battery drain is mostly your KERNEL
apps close is problably a kernel and rom problem.
Are you sure that the combination is right and is the LATEST STABLE ?

As I thought, but how can I change that? I tried different MIUI roms to install like this but then I had the problem to install MIUI - it flashed, but after rebooting I had only the SONY logo to appear. So I installed this one without problems after rebooting. But then again, I have the problem with kernel/rom after launching...

Hi everyone.
I'm having a little problem with my Xperia S, it's kind of new (2 weeks of use).
When I'm using normally the cellphone, everything works great, but if don't use it for a long time and I grab it faster and unlocked it, sometimes the cellphone freezes! Well, not exactly freezing, it still works but VERY slowly, almost like freezing. I can't turn it off with power button, I had to user Power + Volume button to turn it off/restart it.
That happened in first week, so I unlocked bootloader and flash it another kernel (advanced stock kernel), and the problem was there.
Later I made a backup of the firmware (I updated to its last version with PC Companion, ICS btw) and flashed a custom ROM (XTXperience 4), and the problem was still there.
Yesterday I flashed a Generic ICS ROM downloaded from XDA Server using Flashtool, everything went normal until today, when the problem happened again.
I've been searching here in XDA and Google and still nothing seems clear of what is causing the problem, if it's the sim card or maybe a hardware problem. I'm going to relock the bootloader today, and I will try to repair the phone using SUS.
What is causing the cellphone to freeze? Hope someone help me with this. Thanks in advance!
btw, sorry about my english, hope you understand most of what I wrote
Well in my experience,
The phone freezes because it is too hot,
Or the RAM memory suddenly drops.
I mean sudden ur phone's RAM memory is 0.
I'm not sure too.
But I think reflashing the kernel, or flash other kernel will fix the problem
Try it

What ics firmware did you flash? And did you do a complete wipe when flashing?
Sent from my Jellybean Xperia S
I've flashed other kernel and yes, I do a complete wipe when I flash another ROM, via Flashtool or CWM.
I've been thinking of rolling back to GB to see what happens.
Yesterday my phone freezes like 2 or 3 times in less than 15 minutes. First time I reboot the phone and it was ok like 5 minutes, then it freezes. I reboot again the phone and happened again.
Its not even hot or using a lot of RAM, it always has like 250 or 200mb free
Did u play with CPU settings?

No, this is happening since the first boot of the phone. When I turned it on the first time it happened, and I had to search how to force a reboot because I didn't know how to do it LOL
It doesn't happen very often, but when it does is very frustrating!
Try flashing a new rom, but wipe the system partition too? I always do that to ensure a fully clean install.

I'm thinking in flashing a non based stock rom, like CM or MIUI, because I flashed XTXperience before and the freezing happened.
Oh, and the problem still exists. I believe Wi-Fi connection maybe it's the problem, I'm testing some things right now.
Had this too using Supercharger (by zep) but after few setting it's gone. Maybe you should try to run the script ?
It was with stock rom and advanced kernel v15/16.L
Well, I was on 6.1.A.2.45, I relocked the bootloader and an update changed the firmware to 6.1.A.2.55 using SUS without wiping data and the problem was still there, so I repaired the phone with SUS, it erased everything and the problem was gone for like 2 days. Today it happened again.

Well, I Supercharged my ROM now, which setting do you use to fix the problem? I'm still having it.
I even flashed a CM10 based ROM and its still happening! I think it's a hardware problem

Hi, did you manage to solve the problem? I'm having similar issues like you
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?
