[Q] ARC Reboots

Hi everyone !! I just bought my midnight blue arc yesterday morning and am loving it!
All those people who have problems with the battery please get your phones checked coz i feel the battery life on this phone is pretty pretty decent.
Anyway I'm facng a problem that the phone rebooted thrice yesterday while I was on a call!! Is anyone else facing this problem ? Any remedies ??
Thanks

not a problem here for me.. I have heard that this problem seems to be affecting phones in Japan.... also heard that a full SD card reformat seems to have helped some people..

Oh nooo! Call wonk is back on Arc now?
You can try dewonkificator from the N1 section

I have experienced the same thing several times. Has also experienced the phone stalls for 3-5 seconds, and app links on the bottom row do not respond.
Sad as it actually is the best designed phone in my opinion.

Does the phone get hot? i noticed that the phone (close to the camera) gets hot playing games.

Received mine this morning, it's frozen and restarted once, and took ages to restart after freezing.
Ive noticed it getting very hot towards the top half of the screen while i was playing dungeon defenders.
It's a shame, because i really like this handset.

mine working like it should be without any reboots and other stuffs
about battery, 10% and charge for at least 1 week til full , then back to normal charging (someone advice)

Yes same for me... multiple reboots per day. Brand new.. Cool phone but unstable

I have used Arc 3 days now... One reboot on 1st day... Otherwise no reboots

I also have this problem for the 4th time since wednesday last week.
And it is completely random. Phone never gets hot when this happen. One time it happend when it was idle.
I have contacted SE about this issue and they do not know about this problem.
So i am gonna exchange mine for a new one tomorrow.
Oh yeah, and i also cannot pair with my nokia 3100 carkit. I think this is software related problem. My desire had this problem also with some gingerbread roms, other gingerbread roms were fine. So i hope SE will update to 2.3.3 soon.

Mine rebooted only once on 3 days while in idle.
Not a big deal, I think it's because of 2.3.2
Wait for an official upgrade to 2.3.3 or custom roms

So far it never rebooted in idle, but what I recognized is that the phone rebooted several times when connected to the PC or when syncing Music with MediaGo...
Don't know why it occurs, but it happens regularly when I'm connected to the PC and is quite annoying tbh, especially when trying to transfer something like an ISO...
Actually, when trying to transfer Gran Turismo 2 it ALWAYS reboots

Sorry, double post. Pls delete.

Same here. I have several reboots every day.

May be we are using som apps which currently are not Gingerbread friendly??

thats true ... playing a game like flying attack or somthing like this HD ... it will get hot close to the camera ..

I ve had a reboot while riding to work with music playing.
I wouldnt of minded so much if the start up time wasnt as bad as an Iphone.

mine rebooted like 5 times today, usually just after ive used it and put it down on my desk, it suddenly reboots, anyone found out why? could not find any information anywhere other than the 2.3.2 issue

i'm using my Arc for 7 days and it never rebooted by itself. Are you guys playing while in the charger? i noticed it gets hot when it's in the charger.
in the weekend arc was idle for 64hours than i did a reboot because the music player couldn't play any music. now is the phone on for 67 hours no auto reboot. played games, listen to music, browsed the web.

3 days in now and haven't had a single reboot ad yet

Game' Crashing.

Is anyone else having an issue with games crashing, I've done some looking around and it looks like S2 users everywhere are having this problem due to a sound pool problem. Just curious if this problem is in the Sprint version as well or if i have a lemon.
So far ive noticed this problem with dungeon defenders it will run for a random amount of time then crash to the launcher. No Force close or anything. Ill try other games and also disabling sound to see if this fixes the problem

I haven't had any issues with Serious Sam or FieldRunners or Plants VS Zombies or Age of Zombies or Star Legends myself. I haven't really played anything else but I would expect PvZ or AoZ to really fail as those are the most intensive games I have and yet they don't even stutter.

So ive tested quite a few games over the last day with no issues at all. It looks like im just having an issues with dungeon defenders. Anyone else having the same problem where it will crash to the home screen randomly?

Yeah, Pocket Legends crashes a lot too, think it's the same issue with the phone getting too hot.

I recently had the phone reboot on me cause of the great 4G signal I had. Caused excessive heat
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App

So far on the el13 rom/kernel i havent had the games crash on me. Looks like it may be potentially fixed.

It has been fixed. I been playin NES emulation for over an hour today.

Yep. I am so happy that they fixed it.

[Q] Fruit Ninja Issues (I know, seriously)

Does anyone still play fruit ninja?
Well, me neither, but I thought I'd try it out with this new big screen, and was really disappointed.
Note: im running a custom ROM: Jedi5
Back to fruit Ninja, the responsiveness is pretty delayed - almost makes the game unplayable. There could be several factors involved, but was wondering if others were having the same experience and curious what the problem is.
Or further, if there's a development setting that mught be causing it.
I'll flash back to stock at some soon point to see if it's ROM or kernel related.

Fruit ninja (free) non THD version no slowness. Only when there is an attempt to connect to "open feint". I have attached settings for fruit ninja via screen shot.

Its not i was on total stock a while ago and i had similar issues... **** ive had issues with a few games i had purchased.. i guess until they update im not playing them..

I've played FN several times with no real issues. At the beginning of each game it may be a little jerky while it starts up. Not sure if that's the CPU governor or the game, but my Galaxy Nexus did it too. When it starts though, it's smooth as butter.

Btw, the lag im getting is literally miliseconds.
But it takes my avg scores from like 7-800 down to 4-500. I feel ridiculous for typing this.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 2

I've got Fruit ninja puss in boots and have that annoying lag too.

i dont have lag so much (a little bit), but my main gripe is that with most games i play, the whole game would occasionally freeze, then resume after 1-2 seconds. It's fairly annoying and I still haven't found out a fix to it yet. Seems to happen on any 3D rendered game.

Well, I have noticed one thing. In draw something, while using the SPen, disabling airview significantly reduces stutter and lag.

thanks i'll try that, but i think i might have narrowed it down to it happen mostly when i'm on the train. i think 4g disconnecting and reconnecting has something to do with the momentary freezing.

Note 3 overheating

So I upgraded on Thursday and is in love with this device . But after a day I noticed the device getting warm then hot in the matter of minutes. I troubleshoot the best of my abilities but no avail. Factory data reset, unistall bloat, calibrating the battery still no go. Then I stumble across a YouTube video for s4 with the same problem and the video suggest turning off all the toggles. And it worked!!!! I'm still going to return my device but this was the solution that worked for me.

I faced this problem too. ..
I was setting it up.. downloading all my apps.. so it took like 30 mins for all the apps. .I'm guessing it was the wife adapter inside that may have heated. Day 2 and device runs normal.. I'll try gaming today and check

Must have been unlucky because this is my first phone in a year that never gets warm, the Htc One and LG G2 got so hot I could just hit autoupload with 10 apps in que and then use them for handwarmers on a cold night. I'm amazed that when I have it tethered for hours it doesn't get warm whatsoever whereas those other two devices would get so hot I was afraid they would eventually die prematurely. My guess is some things could have been addressed eventually, maybe not but my Note 3 is just perfect out of the box thank goodness.

You sir, truly need an android and iphone will never be am option to someone who uses their device as much as you. I mean I don't even download 4 apps/games in 1 day lol.

it has gotten pretty warm...but i was under a blanket watching hulu and trying to not disturb the lady. Probably why. That was the only time it happened

What are you guys calling "overheating"
To me overheating is when a device gets so hot that it won't function properly.

Exactly. Hot doesn't equal overheating....

My note3 never gets warm ...

Mine does under certain circumstances. But then again I have all radios on including NFC and Bluetooth with a Galaxy Gear connected all the time. It mostly gets warm when doing a lot of data transfer.

I agree it's during data x fer. . Tried gaming yesterday. .. Didn't heat. . But got sightly warm.
But with data x fer. .. It's more than warm. .hot!!
Like if a new person is handed the phone during that time. He will agree that something is not normal

Saying it isn't normal is quite a leap. Remember that the back cover is very thin plastic. Don't just assume something is wrong unless your phone actually hurts you or powers down due to the heat.

G2 and Note 3 (sd800) get warm pretty quick. Neither gets hot for me. Not yet anyway. I think throttling stops my devices from getting overly hot. Obviously ambient temperature plays a part. 75 degrees all day for me. Indoors
Have two Note 3's and 1 G2 on my family account. Replaced one note 3 already for cosmetic issues.

Mine got pretty hot on the first day when I was busy rooting, flashing, and deleting stuff, but now it only gets slightly warm if I'm doing something data-intensive.

Most phones will get hot when using either wifi or the mobile data radio a lot. My S3 used to. It was never too hot to touch but always concerned me. My Note3 however has been quite cool. I played Bloon TD5 for a few hours yesterday (I was very bored) and it got a little warm, but thats about it. If it concerns you, take it back and have it replaced.

I got an update yesterday. Today I tried and downloaded asphalt 1.5gb game. It didn't even warm up. So I'm guessing the update..MAYBE fixed it.

My phone just started to overheat and I am not sure why. The area near the camera/flash is where I feel most of the heat, specifically the SD card area so I removed the micro SD card which worked great for a day and now its back to overheating. What's worse is that it happens overnight to the point where my phone shuts itself off due to battery drain (the phone was not charging and had 100%).
Bout to call tmo for a replacement.

overheat using 3G
I am facing the same issue.
Just bought last week and i find in below case my phone gets overheat. BTW to me, overheat is the set gets so warm that if i put in my ear, i cant even talk cause its HOT.
1. if i use 3G browsing for like 10/15 mins
2. downloading something via WIFI for like 30/40 mins.
i really dont understand whats the issue. how to solve this ? its insane i paid so much for this phone but if it heated up this much... how to use ! damn ...

I've woken up to my phone being extremely hot but it has only happened because of a rogue app I installed turned out to be that Themer was the culprit. I uninstalled Themer and haven't had any issues since. Keep in mind I had Themer installed for about a month and every time they would push out an update I would get over heating problems. Though Themer is still in beta I'll just wait till the official version is released.

[Q] Device not performing as it should

For some reason my Nexus 7 feels slow evenfrom day 1 when i got it. I get alot of lag spikes but its bearable. However i dont think i should be getting this at all. Dead trigger 2 is completely unplayable on the lowest settings, some apps lag etc. Games like Asphalt 8 and Mc4 run perfectly though. I tried all the 4.4.2 roms on xda (Literally) and still feel the same(Flashed correctly) I even get the regular 24000 on Antutu.
Do you guys get lags often?

Well, it was good out of the box, super snappy, perfect battery life, a time goes on though.... Well you know the drill... We are running quad core s4 pro 1.5ghz... Don't expect superspeed
