[Q] Xperia Arc rebooting randomly for no reason? :(

Hi all,
I recently bought a Xperia Arc, all new, as i started using it noticed it reboots itself often, for no reason apparently, its very annoying since it takes about 2 minutes to restart.
It doesn't matter if i'm taking photos, video, playing games, or even in a call, it can reboot anytime, the screen freezes for like 2 secs then shuts off and restarts.
I cant take it to SE cuz i bought it overseas, and since it's my first android i have no idea what's wrong with it.
It's a wonderful phone and don't wanna have to sell it because of that.
Any ideas on what could be happening? and how to fix it?
Thx in advance.

Install both (required for the drivers):
- PC Companion: http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/support/softwaredownloads/detailed/pccompanion/xperiaarc?cc=gb&lc=en
- Update Service: http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/sup.../detailed/updateservice/xperiaarc?cc=gb&lc=en
Use any of them to update/repair the phone back to stock.
Or use the FlashTool and flash it again.

If it continues rebooting after reflashing it, then you need to take it back and get an exchange.

Thanks BluechipJ and daveybaby, im currently at work, so i'll try reflashing it tonight.

I found if the device gets hot (Upper portion of the back, not the battery. I guess that's where the CPU and RAM are), it reboots. It happens more often when I play games while charging. while standing by on battery, mine never reboots by itself. If your problem persists, maybe you need to consider replacing it.

My Xperia Neo used to crash randomly too, usually once a day or once every to days. For some strange reason, it seems to have stopped since I've started using AppKiller and Go Launcher. Right now I'm in the 125th hour of uptime and counting...

yea mine restarts quite often when people call me...im going to take into docomo today and let them know...

been testing it for several days now, the reboots stopped after the flashing
Thanks again

I have flashtool,do I just re run it? will i lose my root/apps/data?

Mine freezes sometimes and then the screem goes of from left to right and reboots
Did you have the same?
Sometimes it runs for 100+ hours and today it happend after 39-46 hours uptime.
It mostly happens when I use it a lot and the RAM was quite low before. Maybe mine runs out of RAM?

Um... could be? Im using a task process killer now so maybe. Try autokilling unnecesary processes.
Cheers

Mhm, everyone says they do more bad than good.
But I'll look at processes that eat up RAM when it runs for a while. Currently it's fast @ ~ 30 hours uptime.

[URGENT] Is my Play Dead? How do I fix it?

I've been having a problem with my xperia play screen over the last few days. Some times when I press the power button or the home key the screen stays black.
Today though I've rarely been able to get my phone screen on
I've got to the point now that my screen won't even come on. Even after flashing my phone again with a new firmware. Then when I tried to turn on my play the LED flashed 3 times but RED :O
I'm now charging it but when charging, the LED is permanently red.
Is my Play dead or is it something simple like my battery dying?

I just skimmed your post but is this problem linked to this problem at the main sony site...
talk[DOT]sonymobile[DOT]com/message/259712
If it is it maybe a software glitch which harmed your phone/device...
------------------------------------------------
Sorry I'm new to this XDA Forum

Hey its me, the same guy from the official sony post,
I tried flashing new firmware, but that didn't work. so i ended up relocking my bootloader and trying an official update service, but that didn't work. I had to send it off to the sony repair centre.
one week later I got my phone back: fully working. they reprogrammed the phone with stock .42 FW
so send it off to the repair centre!
one note though. i flashed official .62 fw and installed doomkernel, but the next morning the screen went off whenever i tried to open settings. after 3 times it didn't com on again. after leaving the phone alone for 20 mins the screen would turn on again (after rebooting) but i'm sending it off to the repair centre again.
too bad the phone isn't fixed, still...

-this problem ( black screen or delay to turn the screen on ) is happening on some custom roms , which rom do you use ?
- sometimes when you change the cpu governor it happens , for example when you set the "powersave" profile for screen off , or when you use interactivex on your CPU .
i'm sure that related to your rom , your phone is alive mate
or according to 3raserNL information
- another way is : just flash a ftf .54 , .62 ...
good luck

[Q] HTC one V appears dead.

Hi everyone,
About 3 months ago I flashed a new rom which I found on this website under the stable tab.
I couldn't have been happier with the new system, everything worked perfectly, but now yesterday I was browsing the google play store when my screen suddenly laggs and gets stuck. So I waited at first, but after a while I tried to closing the screen to let him rest and resolve.. which didn't do anything, and that was strange to begin with. Suddenly the screen went black and did not want to open up again, I waited several hours, still nothing. I placed him i the usb charger and there is no indication that it's charging, no green or orange light. It doesn't respond when I try turning it on/off, or use power/volume down button.
My phone seems dead at it is atm, and I'm really sad.. anything I can still try? Help would be much appreciated.
edit: update, tried charging it again, the range led is blinking now, when I try turning it on while charged the main touch buttons enlighten and dim emediately after. GOing to let it ' charge ' for a bit now.

Miracle! Miracle!!!
Dead man back to life!!!:beer:

Hi OP,
Just wonderedhow long you left it between your unsuccessful charges and the time it worked. Happened to me yesterday, tried to charge it all night and no luck.
Cheers.

Connect it to your PC and check if it shows QHSUSB_DLOAD as the driver.
If this is shown, you may have done something like this, so you hard bricked it.
You may try this software fix (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1788227) or this (http://www.jtagbox.com/jtag-news/ri...nbrick-unlock-supercid-imei-repair-supported/) to exit the mode.

I had this problem to once, after restart it works again and others also had this problem. Someone fixed it by disassembling the device and was about LCD ribbon that cause this behaviour. Bad quality control as it seems to be and shame on Samsung.
Send it back and replace it if possible, or for repairs and if want to fix it you self:

I had this problem but after rooting my device, so I did re-flashing with stock rom and everything went normal.
I think it is a software not a hardware error. I had this problem with nearly all Samsung tablets (p-1000, p6200, 7500 and lately with the note 10.1_2014)
and every time I did re-flashing with stock rom and everything went normal.

I hope they can solve this problem or replace it.

Phone freezes/crashes randomly

I've had my G4 for a few months now, never had any problems until recently. The phone just freezes, sometimes just a 'normal' freeze, sometimes half of the screen turns to black/noise. Occassionaly it reboots on its own, but most of the time the power button doesn't respond and I have to take out the battery.
The freeze occurs at any given point, typing a text, being on FB, playing a game, ..
Last sunday I did a factory reset and everything worked perfectly fine until today..haven't installed any new apps or anything..
I hope someone can help me.
Cheers.

Now it's just freezing/restarting every two minutes or so..

maybe its abou to get the infamous bootloop.. need to send it to LG to fix.

Mine did that and went into the bootloop a couple of hours later. It now is at a LG partner for repair. Better safe all data you need right now, just to be safe.
