I have an arc s for almost 6 months now and im having a hell lot of problems with it.
My phone battery indicates that there is 15% charge in it and suddenly shows 1% charge remaining and shuts down, now wen i connect it to charge it charges from 15% and some times the battery toggles weirdly while discharging.Ex-i have attached the image.
I had ginger bread wen i got this problem so i thought i will do a repair using PC companion and since it had a ics update i had to update it, bt the problem persists.
I had this problem before also and had given it to the service center and they said its a software issue and did a reset and gave the phone with gingerbread again.
since i am having this issues reportedly my concern is if the phone has any hardware issue or the battery has a problem.
please suggest what to do.

If you are on stock rom and stock kernel, i suggest you flash an official ics rom via flashtool after full charge and see if the problem persists. Else root your phone and get cwm installed and wipe battery stats after full charge

Thanks for the quick reply.
Im on the stock rom and dont want a unbranded phone. my concern is if it is a hardware issue or not.
Is it possible to install cwm without rooting my phone.
Thank you.
If the problem is showing in both ics and gb then it's more than likely a hardware problem. To install CWM you must be rooted, so that's not an option if you want to keep it locked & stock.
When i had the same problem previously i gave it to the sony center and they had reset my phone ,after that it worked fine.Again if i give it to service it im afraid they'll do the same and give it back.

Rooting a stock ROM is harmless and it doesnt debrand your phone in any way. I was rooted on stock ROM myself for many months till i grew tired with the stock feeling. Anyways its your choice whether or not to do it, im just giving my opinion

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
x parts does not work, custom rom does not override x-parts mess it did and refuses install cwm 3.x.x.x on to unsuscessful 5.x.x.x.
?
thanks

Hello everyone,
I've decided to get help trying to fix my Xperia Arc which has weird battery issues.
I tried so many things trying to fix it that I don't now what to try/where to look for an answer. So, I decided to ask you guys for help.
The problem started this summer, I updated my phone with the official ICS update, and after that, battery life went from average to awful.
I have, at the moment, a battery consumption of around 20% per hour, and it doesn't change whether I'm using the phone or not.
I have tried the following things :
- New battery : same problem
- New kernel rom => Tried different kernels (arcknight/stock ...) and different custom roms => same problem
- Re-locking the bootloader and flashing stock 2.3 => same issue
- Installed software to check what was using the battery : nothing stood out.
So now I don't know what to do, I'm at loss. When I was running custom roms I always remembered to delete the battery stats once the battery was full, didnt help.
Also, I thing the problem is the battery sensor ?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Vincent.

ICS requires you to restart your phone after every time you charge it. Bug in the firmware.
If still dropping too fast - Then it has to be some of your settings, that you use, either a sync or GPS or something.
have you wipe battery stat in cwm?

1.
Revert to stock. Relock your bootloader. Repair phone with pc companion.
2.
Check your battery. Take it out and study it. Is it deformed, swollen or anything?
3. (OPTIONAL)
Clean battery pins on phone and battery with aftershave
4.
Get a new battery
Cheers guys for the answers. I tried everything you guys recommended and yup same problem
I'm sending it in for repairs and hopefully they'll fix it.

Well hi tried with bew battery,so there was still a issue
Sent from my LT15i using xda premium
Hi, i have a Lg Nitro HD p930 AT&T with ICS.
I only have the phone for a few days i bought it used on mint condition on ebay.
The problem is that my phone turn off itself and the only way i can turn it on is taking off the battery and then put it back again, also i notice that the battery discharge really fast when i do that, for example if that happens with 90% of the battery when i do the process to turn the phone on, the battery is in 73%.
Another thing is that my phone sometimes gets extremely hot.
Obviously im not an expert but i think maybe its the battery because i only get 4-6 hours with simple use, just chat a little in whatsapp and view a few post on facebook.
I hope you can help me, thanks in advance.
Random reset is an issue on official ics
U can hold power button for 10sec or takeout the battery.
This phone battery usage is high and I think its because of the ips screen.
If you wanna check your battery ,turn off wifi and data and leave your phone for about 5 hours and check battery percentage it should not be more than 5%.but it depend on signal strength of your 3G/4G network
when I play high graphic games or browsing web for long time with high brightness phone gets hot in up sides and its normal
If your phone gets very hot it might be a problem
Sent from my LG-P930 using Tapatalk 2
Yeah, common issue with this phone and ICS and there is no easy fix. You will also sometimes see a red halo on the screen if it turns off by itself and gets hot.
Try to root it and install HoNo's Full Throttle. I heard it doesn't have that issue.
Afriend told me something similar happen to him a he download from de market the App Wake Lock, i download it and the phone hasnt reset since i install it but steal get hot when i use the GPS or chat in multiples APPs and the battery sucks even instaling juice defender.
i just finish rooting my phone a few minutes ago, i would like to instal cyanogen 10, im going to research how to cuz im new i never had install a ROM BUY maybe it work better
can someone send me the link or a tutorial of how to intall a ROM i had my NITRO rooted but i never install a ROM.
wich ROM YOU RECOMMEND i would like a rom that as stable as an official version and dont get my phone hot
thanks
Did you try doing a factory reset? (Hold volume down + power when turning the phone on)
i brick my phone
now i brick my phone, can it be unbricked having lg official icecream sandwich? please and really scared!!!

Yes, you can unbrick if you're using official ICS; in fact, that's the only way you'd be able to install a custom ROM in the 1st place coming from official ICS. If you just want stock ICS you can use the LG Mobile Update software to restore your device to the stock LG firmware; but if you want a custom ROM you will need to follow one of the 3 unbrick guides located here in the general forum.

There is no conceivable way to brick an unmodified phone by doing a factory reset, but given the other symptoms that you are describing it might suggest that your phone has a hardware problem. Did you get a warranty with it? It has been my experience that people that have stability issues with this phone and it is 100% stock ICS points to one of two possibilities: software, that a factory reset would resolve or hardware. Good luck.

You did root your phone on stock ics but bootloader is locked , so you can't flash any rom via cwm and your phone is bricked.
The only way to unlock bootloader is following unbrick method instructions and back to android 2.3 which has unlocked boot loader and then install rom manager and cwm, then you can flash your favarite rom
If you wana flash stock ics ,use HoNo at&t official ics cmw flashable nor flash what ever you like

Hi,
Been using an Xperia M since Feb 22, and yesterday I experienced a touchscreen 'crash' for the first time: It seems as if no touch is detected. I panicked and eventually reflashed kernel and reinstalled CM (as per this) - problem solved (but lost data).
Just now the problem happened again and I reflashed kernel only, which fixed it.
I'm a noob, so what's going on here?
1) This is a software problem, right? Since reflashing kernel fixed it.
2) Is this some kind of problem with the CM build I'm using (see link above)
3) Is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening?
Thanks for any help!
Well the same thing happened again. Kernel re-flash did NOT fix it this time.
Does anyone have any idea how to prevent this from happening? And anyone who may be able to explain why this happens?
Thanks for any insights
EDIT: A few reboots later it's fixed again. (just reflashed kernel). The previous times rebooting did NOT help.
in deveoloper options have you set the animations and transistions and durations to 0 ? i found this caused my touchscreen on my old x10 running cm10 to stop working
Sent from my C1905 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
No I haven't set those options
Ok, so, some updates.
I switched from PecanCM's CM11 build to FreeXperia (311), but the problem still happened, just a few hours back.
Maybe it's just some app that's not playing nice or something, but I have very few apps, and nothing weird, so I don't know what it could be.
Anyway, turns out that if I reboot the phone through Flashtool when the touchscreen is frozen, it FIXES it.
But if I "reboot" by removing and replacing the battery, or through SMS TASKS, this does NOT fix it.
Maybe this is useful to someone out there, and I'll post here if I ever figure out the problem
Well, maybe it's a hardware problem after all...
After about a million reboots, the problem persisted this last time. It even persisted after re-flashing boot, re-flashing ROMs (CM11 / FXP311/312, as well as Sony stock).
Guess it's back to the store...
Unless anyone else has any suggestions??
Thanks in advance.
Sony repaired the phone in 10 days, pretty fast!
They replaced a bunch of components, the touch screen and related stuff, so it seemed.
It's working now. Hopefully I won't have the same problem in 3 weeks.
As a final thought: Whenever the problem was "active" the touch screen also didn't respond in CWM recovery, so maybe that was a giveaway that it was NOT a software problem, but a hardware problem?
Thanks and hopefully I won't be revisiting this thread...

Unlocked bootloader you mean?
I relocked it first. I unlocked with Flashtool and then could easily relock with Flashtool as well.
Anyway I wasn't charged a thing.

That's great. I thought that because you were giving your IMEI to Sony to unlock (at least with the official method), even if you relocked it they could still check.

Nope. The months for which the Sony would support the ion is over and seems no future support from Sony
I suggest you to root ur phone, unlock bootloader and install a custom ROM. Its worth it.
Being a ion user I was disappointed with Sony regarding support but installing custom rom has given a new life to my ion

Install a custom rom or doing a factory reset will help with the problem of freeze during app installation. Or at least it fixes for a month or two, then you have to reset it again. This is what I am doing, if there are other fixes I hope someone will answer.
