[Q] Arc S takes ages to start - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I flashed the Racing Bean Custom ROM and installed the Fusion Kernel, but when I'm starting my phone it takes a long time after the Kernel Logo disappears or I can enter the CWM. The general startup process needs sometimes 7 minutes, and that ain't normal, is it?
I performed a clean install (wipe caches, delete and format etc.) and this occurs on all kernels i have tried so far (Lupus, Fusion, Radeon)
How do I repair this?

Completely normal on first boot after installing new ROM/firmware.

I know that, but it still occurs after 5 reboots.

how many days have you had the the new rom working ?
some times you need to let it settle
I'm running on lupus/paranoiandorid and it takes about 45 seconds
but the first ones took (to me ) ages it gets better whit use
also if you delete cache and dalvik the phone will need to update everything everytime
apps etc so be patient and should be ok

Well I had this new ROM for a few days now - but before that I had CM10 for a month and there was the same problem

Are you using fusion 4, 4.1 or 4.3 with beam ?
I read there were some problem for those using 4.1 and some claim is working well with 4.3 although the recomended is 4.0 might be worth a look

User error then I suspect, and you should have stated that in the OP.

Well, now I have Racing Bean with the FXP Kernel, which has brought the best Benchmark result so far - I hope the ROM will "settle" as you said and run fine.
Thank you for your help,
Lars

The one from Cyagonenmod 10 .. but with it Wifi is not working and I haven't found the Wifi Modules for it yet.
BUT ... I'm now using the Lupus Kernel for a few days and it's still running very badly with every Kernel. Any suggestions to fix that?

JellyTime Opinions

Hello!
Im wondering about JellyTime, Is it good or bad/very buggy?
Since im very intrested about it i want others opinion.
Also im new to this rooting and new ROM installs.
Thanks!
Well, it is a beta Rom, so it will have bugs. I use it as my main rom knowing it has some minor flaws. If you need a full running device you might want to read the thread a little before flashing this. Most of us flashing this are "Flashaholics" and don't mind flashing a new version everyday if needed. I'd say flash it to see what it's like, and then make your own decision. Only you will know if you like it. This goes for any Rom.

Ohhh okay ^^ is it possible to install the rom at the sametime as i root? sorreh im newb at this :3:highfive:
After you root, make a backup of your rom. Before flashing (download rom to sd card-remember where it was stored), reboot in recovery.
Wipe data/factory reset.
Wipe dalvik.
Format all partitions (except sd card).
Install from sd card.
Flash rom (search for the download)
Reboot.
The above is sorta the correct way of doing it afterwards. Most of us don't do it.
Wait 5-10 minutes.
Reboot.
Configure all you need to configure.
Install your apps.
Reboot.
If you want to know the issues of a rom, read the op(first page) and read the last 5-10 pages.
All ics - jb roms have bugs. Won't be long till they are fixed.
Gb roms are stable on the most part.
Search for 4ext touch recovery, it's the prefered one.

Alright buddy, last one. After this you nees to start reading and searching for your own answers. Almost anything you can think of has already been posted.
It's called gapps. It's a zip file with several google apps. Flash the same as when you flash a rom. No wipe necessary.

jellytime is moving very fast towards stability...
Even now its beta 110 could be used as a daily driver if you ignore some minor things..Bluetooth is the only major problem in it..other than that,it is smooth and really good
TOTAL NOOB here been reading for months now [in the background] and just joined as i think ive finally worked up the courage to brick my HD. :laugh:
I did see a question asking about "best roms" am after an easy stable and fully working combination tho, would love jellybean and fully understand its still in beta. I think more noobs would attempt stuff if it wasnt so damn confusing with regards options and bolt ons.
Ive been Useing JellyTime since yesterday and i love it, the only complaint i have at this moment is that when i lock the screen and unlock it after more than 5 min it takes up to 5-10 seconds for it to start. Maby fixed in new Beta 10. ill try install it later today or tomorrow.

The Desire HD/Inspire 4G are virtually un-brickable as long as you are not ENG-OFF. Once you start flashing roms it all will become like second nature. Everything will start to get easier(more confidence comes too ) Just keep doing what you are doing (reading the threads). I wish some people did this more before posting.

You need to use catchpa for about the first 10 posts. then it should disapear.
This ROM is outstanding. I started with Beta 8 and it was great–at least for the first few days before Beta 9 came out. And now that Beta 10 is out, I'm going to flash that ASAP.
Then great thing about this ROM is that Randomblame just can't seem to give himself any downtime, although he does find time to spend with his family. As long as the ROM works and he isn't going crazy from it, that's alright with me.

[REQUEST] {Arc / Arc S} Stock 4.1.B.0.587, supercharged, de-bloatwared and CWM'ed

I was thinking that since Sony, by MHO did a pretty decent job with the latest ICS update .587 for our devices (nothing new yes, but much faster compared to .431), it'd be great if someone with the know-how, would take latest stock ROM, root it, supercharged it and removed bloatware.
I managed to root it using 4.0.3. method (flash-root-flash) and also removed bloatware (using this post as a reference) and baby flies. Supercharging it would squeeze even more out of our devices.
Also, it'd be great if someone could take newest .587 kernel, integrated CWM and governors, maybe unlock CPU. Currently I'm actually running latest stock on ArcKnight kernel 3.5.1 with ArcKnight libs and it works great, although I have a feeling that performance is slightly better on a stock .587 kernel.
I'd be willing to donate few bucks to the one who does it, who else is with me?
yep I would be willing to do that as I am sick of waiting for standard release on my ARC
also very simple idiot proof instructions on how to install it
.587 is incompatibile with V6 Supercharge.
i have this update on my arc s i could root it with the 4.0.3 method and i already have installed the CWM with the xparts apk found on google play i just need the full system dump to begin the modifications

Hallo, yesterday i supercharged my phone xperia arc with latest ICS update .587,
i used v6 supercharger (V6_SuperCharger_for_Android-Update 11)
i had busy box v1.8.4, while supercharging it asked me about services.jar and services.odex, and it said to me that i had an old one (cause i did supercharged my phone when it was on .487 too) and i pressed to use the old services ... when the supercharge ended and my phone restarted it took like 10 minutes and i saw it was keep restarting and restarting, i re-entered my battery near 30 times and re - opened it but still the same, i tried to hard reset, with all the ways i could and nothing happened, and now my phone doesnt open at all, only restarts and restarts..
Any idea how i can fix this?
hi
can anyone advice please how to get CMW onto stock unlocked BL .587

thank you! this one worked just fine!

Apps (especially messaging) keep crashing!

This has been happening for a week or so now and I can't seem to work out why! It seems random that when I open the messaging app it just crashes, then sometimes that seems to cause a chain reaction and everything starts crashing meaning I have to reset it with the power button. The problem tends to persist unless I power down, wait and turn the phone back on. I didn't have the problem on the rom for a long time (Jellybean 4.1.2 for Endeavoru AOSP Build [JZO54K]) it just seemingly started happening at random. I tried a new rom with a new boot.img (aokp_endeavoru-ICJ-V3.4) which seemed to hold the problem off for a few hours but now its started on that one! I've also ruled out any apps because I made sure I didn't restore anything from my gmail account.
Any ideas?

[Q] Unresponsive screen after flashing ROM/Kernel

Hello All,
First time post and as an offering, I will say 'thanks' to anyone that responds in a positive manner to my post (trying to win some friends) :laugh:
Here's my issue, I have an Arc S LT18i.
Unlocked bootloader and rooted.
Whenever I flash anything custom the touch screen fails to respond, i've flashed LupusV7, slim bean 3.1 and 3.2 (with arc fusion 3.6 and 4.5) and Super Jelly Bean. All seemingly start without any issues and the physical buttons work no problem. BUT the screen refuses to work in anyway at all!!
I have made sure I wiped the system, cache and delvak (sp?)
Any help greatly appreciated, I am a NOOB but underneath it all I'm just trying to make the most of this wonderful Arc S...
Anything you want to know, please ask away...
Please help.
Namaste

Hello, thanks for the reply...
According to the Slim Bean page, I can use ANY kernel with that rom. But also, if I just have the Lupusv7 Kernel on there, the touch screen doesn't work within that, so not a ROM/Kernel conflict I belive.
I've also tried other Kernel/ROM combinations, same thing keeps on happening. Touchscreen works 100% with a SE restore, stock ROM.
Any other ideas please??

It's best to use the recommended kernel as stated on the ROM thread. Try another kernel and see how things go.

Hello,
As previously mentioned, the reccomended kernel is Lupusv7, When i flash this Kernel into recovery mode, all looks well but as it has a touch screen interface this still doesn't work!
I'm presuming that it cannot be a conflict as it's happen before I instll the new ROM etc... the touch screen doesn't even work within the GUI of the Lupusv7 kernel.
I can get multiple ROMS to load with different kernels but so far, none have booted with the touch screen working!!
I am very much a noob but have read loads of articles on how this should be done, unless i'm missing something very obvious which isn't stated then I dont see anyone else having this issue.
Any clues people? :good:
Thanks, Ricky

Hello Someguyfromhell,
I haven't used AROMA, the guides i've been reading haven't mentioned this!?
This is the process I went through:
flashed stock ICS ROM
flashed kernel
wipe data/cache/davlik
flashed rom
rebooted, ROM loads up and the touch screen doesn't work.
Any help you can give me on AROMA, links etc?
I'm looking right now, but a 'leg up' would be great.
Thanks for the reply.
Ricky
here what to do
- Make sure you had installed Official 4.0.4 ftf pack
- When flashing official ftf pack remember to exclude / tick these things:
1. simlock.ta (Exclude TA)
2. Kernel.sin (Exclude kernel)
3. FOTA (Exclude FOTA)
After flash successful, power on your phone and let it start completely
- Now you can start to install any ROM
1.Flash the Recommended Kernel: Vengeance , KTG Anzu , RUSH
2. Place ROM on SD card
3. Power off the phone and boot into CWM
3. Backup and restore > choose Backup
4. Wipe Data/Factory Reset
5. Mounts and storage > Format /system
6. Advanced > Wipe battery stats
7. Install zip from SD card > Choose the rom
8. if rom uses aroma Follow on screen instructions on AROMA, remember to choose "Unlocked bootloader" and also the correct kernel modules and of course the correct phone model
9. After complete installation tick "Reboot" and let the phone restart
10. Give the phone a good full charge, and enjoy ur phone !

Then did you install the device-specific patch?
ok man, you've got the same problem like me
First thing, all roms that make your touch screen doesn't work will based on cm (e.g. cm10, slim, any jb).
and ALL STOCK roms will get no problem.
There's lot of people here got this problem and still has no clue why this problem occure to ours, so sad story.
Someone says that the touch screen firmware sould be updated to the lastest version, but i don't know how.
One solution that i found is, remove the battery to turn off then turn it on to reboot again and again. If you lucky enough, the touch screen will work like a miracle!
and the success rate is also <50% ( based on my experience only)

on all the ROM guides, I have never seen a part where it says i should install a device specific patch, do you have a link to where these may be?
Or even a ROM with guide where it says this? I'm very happy to follow that to get this working. I have no preference to CM10, Slim Bean, Racing Bean etc... as of yet i've not been able to use any of them.
Thanks for the continued response.

Ah ha... sounds like you have the same problem as me!
Did you manage to get any JB ROM working? If so, which one, just so I can try that also...

This solution is the one that i think it can move some files which related to touch screen.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34593771&postcount=23
But sorry, it still get sometimes for the touch screen didn't response :crying:
However, as i mentioned above; you can get ALL jb rom working :fingers-crossed:
But depends on your luck. Just turn it off when the touch screen didn't response, then turn it on again (and again) untill it work.
I hoped that the new linux kernel will solve this...

I have same issue have tried many stock based roms and kernels no problem but any CM based rom I have no touchscreen.
You can reboot and about 1 in 5 times it will work
Maybe it only affects certain versions of the phone. I even tried re-locking bootloader and doing official sony update then tried CM again I tried 7.1,9 and 10
same problem.
Here's where I am...
UPDATE:
So, here is where I am. Using advice from previous replies I have managed to install Xperia Ultimate HD and this is working off of the Lupus kernel without any issues. I'm still unable to get ANY Jelly Bean roms working...
Maybe my device will just not work on JB :crying:
Any other tips or tricks are greatly appreciated, would love to get JB working on here my beloved Arc S.
Ricky :good:
Any news here?
I have the same issue over here with a colleagues LT18i
I have same problem, touch screen doesn't work on many different kernels... only work on stock kernel
Any news about this problem?

I need more info. Did you do a clean install;wipe data, cache, and dalvik? Is the speaker working for other apps?What, if any, mods did you flash after initial rom flash. I haven't had this problem on this rom, but all phones are different it seems. So I need as much info as possible.

Yes, clean install;wipe data, cache, and dalvik no mods or tweaks-
The speaker is fine, I can hear them no problem. The microphone when the phone is on speaker phone does not work however. People say they can barely hear me at all and I've tried calling myself and can confirm that it sounds very low and crackly. When I reinstall a TW rom..it works flawlessly.
Does it have anything to do going from JB to Slim? When I reinstall JB rom i use the 2x wipe. I ran out of things to try so I went back to TW but would rather be on slim + zap kernal

I would try another clean install, wipe data,cache,dalvik,like three times.Just to make sure nothing is left behind and flash rom from the eL29 direct boot kernel. I have seen this issue in other roms,now that I did a little research,and it seems phone specific. I myself have never had a mic problem. I will keep looking, so keep an eye on this thread. Also, did you go to JB correctly. Using the one - click full restore....this partitions you're phone correctly. Could have nothing to do with you're problem,but wanted to ask..I think the full restore is the one you want, just grab the one that wipes you're internal memory. Yep....back-up time.

My first flash since I bought it was a one click, however, I went to other TW roms and used the 2x wipe zip since then. When I went to slim ( and even black bean ) and I used the el29 direct boot. I noticed it happens only on AOSP roms..maybe it is just my device.

Yep, it could be you're device. I'll keep looking and hit you up if I find anything. But this phone is wonky that way. I can't run Dirty Unicorn. It flashes fine and runs great, for about a day. Then the grimlin's come out. Still trying to figure that one out... Hey, if you like slim bean. You'll love Dirty Unicorn.. Give it a go. I would run it, but slim just flies on my phone. Sorry I couldn't be more help... And Im not sure if you uderstood what I meant by one-click. There is a one - click that you need to flash before the first time you go to JB from ICS... It partions you're phone correctly.

Isn't dirty unicorn AOSP? All AOSP roms have had this same problem for me
Can you link that one - click? I thought you ment the one click installers for like gb08 or w/o.. The only thing I've ever used that handled partitions is the 2x JB data eraser that Tough by S4 suggests

When I first went from ics to JB I used a one click install FULL WIPE (GB10 I think it was at the time) version ( which is what this post tells you to do) so yes I have done this step when I went from ICS to JB. Besides, I'm sure if I didn't do it correctly then any version of JB would not work on my phone and it does
Other then using a ics modem, Is there any special step ( not already mentioned ) to go back to AOSP from JB?

Ok...just wanted to make sure...good going..and yes they will work,but you'll run into issues down the line. Thats why I was so persistent. Well, I guess I'm out of ideas,but I'll keep looking...Sorry. If you're staying with tw. I always thought jellyverse was awesome and there is a trial/beta version 4 out for it.Good Luck..
honestly, I'm more interested in the LZ kernal then anything else and I'm pretty sure thats AOSP only.. oh well

yep aosp only.. but I just had an idea.. What modem do you use with aosp. Im on fl24.. I don't know how it would matter, but thats all I got...lol. Sometimes these roms can be wonky, case in point. When I first flashed slim build 7 I couldn't get my hotspot to work. I jumped back to build 6 and was fine. After a couple days I gave 7 another try and now it works....Both times I did the exact samething to flash...gremlins...lol.

Yep...if I've learned one thing on XDA, its that one person's fix might not work for you and another that does won't work for them...I think thats why I'm such a believer in the search button..
I'm having gps issues here!! I clean flashed everything. I flashed to stock touchwiz got a gps fix then flashed back to slim build 7, and gps was working fine then it's stops working again. I need a fix cause gps is very important with my job. Ty

Do you have any tweaks flashed. I seen where nos tweaks(some of them)can mess with gps. Read through this post,looks like a promising fix.I dont no of any that work by experience because I always have had good luck with gps.The one to read is post 96. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1853671&page=10
