Xperia Arc S, big problem

Well here it is, my Xperia Arc S originally had a problem where the display kept turning itself on so i did some reading and apparently it might have been some software, so i tried doing a factory reset and that didn't work. So i tried flashing it on Flashtool but then i realised i couldn't because everytime i turned my phone off it would turn itself back on so i couldn't put it in boot mode. And now i can't even get past the Sony Ericsson logo when i boot up so i think of anything to do now because i can't flash it and turn it on. Please can someone help me.
Side note i did drop my phone in water a few weeks ago and there were problems with it booting but i thought it was resolved because they disappeared.

Phone cannot turn on itself. Unless you have charging cable attached and it goes to charging mode.

UPDATE: I was able to flash 4.0.4 firmware onto the phone after repeatedly trying to get it into flash mode but the problem still remains, the display keeps turning on by itself and whenever i switch the phone off i hear a small vibration and it turns itself on (with no charger attached), i'm thinking there might be a problem with the power button but i'm not sure.

Does the button act any other way than normal?

You mean does it feel different? Like the clicking? It feels fine to me, plus when i'm using the phone the screen doesnt just turn off, its only when i put the phone to sleep it turns the display back on and then it turns off again and so on. It behaves as it should when i press it

I didnt drop it in water on purpose, i meant i dropped it and there were issues with it booting up, i left it in rice overnight and it was fine the next day

I now what you mean, I have same problem with mine. The screen flash like if it had unanswered phone calls its really anoying. My phone never had any accident until now as well. The gap betwen screen flashing can go from 30s up to a minute. Sometimes it stops and goes again. any sugestion?

In first case power button died from water probably (you fu**d it up by dropping it in water, rice wont help). Second is software problem try factory reset or flashing phone...

Need Serious help, battery related

Hello everybody, i have a problem with my hox lately, its driving me highly insane, the thing is, the phone turns off, it does not restart, it just turns off, at first seemed random, but i realize it was when there was some kind of "heavy" procces, like shooting video, taking a phone, but never has happen it while calling, once it turns off, it gets hot and if i try to turn in on, it does turns on, but turns off as soon as the home launcher shows, i dont know what it might be, i though it was the kernel when i was on the paranoid android, i changed it, it worked, dont know why, but yesterdat happend again, now i switched to viper rom, and my phone turned off as soon as the phone booted, anyone might know what it is? also the battery percentage seems random, when my phone turns off showing 49% battery, then i turn it on and manage to keep that way, then shows 60% or sometimes less than the original, and well, when the android system says it has 60% battery, the bootloader says the battery level its to low to flash, recovery says a totally different number, sometimes even 100% , can anyone give me any clue? does the battery went bad? shall i buy an iphone or a samsung phone?

or you can try pressing the power button for 8-10 seconds when ur phone is powered off and connected to the charger...it resets the battery and then keep the phone on charging until it is full without using it maybe it might help you...

1. What is your Hboot version? see it in the bootloader..
2. Did you do a full wipe before flashing the ROM ?
3. Did you "fastboot flash boot boot.img" for you ROM or Kernel ?
If your Hboot is 1.36 or above and you did a full wipe and flashed the boot.img and you still have that problem then definitely there is something wrong with the model you have from HTC.

AT&T S3 keepsing turning ON and OFF every 20 Seconds

Hey Guys,
I have a S3 AT&T and it just keeps turning on and off by its self about every 20 seconds. I have looked around and many people have this issue and there are a few solution out there but all of those solutions need my phone to stay on for a while. I can't do a hard reset and I can't do any kind of flash because it stays on for such a short time. Also the phone does not have water damage.
Below are the steps I have tried so far.
-Tried a new battery but same issue
-Thought maybe the power button was stuck but it looks fine.
-Tried to do hard reset and flash but does not stay on long enough
Not sure what else to do. Its killing me that I cant figure out how to fix it!! THERE MUST BE A WAY!
Thanks everyone!

Does it also happen in download mode and/or recovery?

Yes it even in the download and recovery menu it does this.

I'm having this exact same problem. Even in download mode it'll reboot. In fact, even while rebooting it reboots. I was lucky in that it stayed in download mode long enough for me to ODIN back to stock, but it's still rebooting. Completely unusable because it never stays on long enough. Can anyone help?

Did it ever take a dive off the table or your hands?
It wouldn't surprise me if something internally was loose....

For myself, not recently. The phone was in perfect working condition, until I updated my ROM. Then when I woke up this morning, this problem occurred.

Honestly, it seems to me as if the power button is stuck somehow. It doesn't look stuck to me, but the behaviour of the phone is like that. The constant rebooting, the way the screen turns on, and even how the power off menu randomly comes up by itself.

Mine has fallen before but nothing serious I'v dropped phones way worse then this. But I do think something is definitely loose. If I just leave the phone alone it doesn't power on or off. But as soon as I pick it up and move it, it powers on then in 20 seconds just goes off again.
Anyone have any idea what could be loose maybe?
Thanks

your best bet is too open up the phone and look at the connectors from the batter to the phone and make sure that those have a solid connection.

99% it is a power button failure. I as well as many others are suffering from this.
Try to avoid using the power button as much as possible. Use the home button to power on and find a softkey to turn your screen off. Easiest way is use quick toggles to turn off screen.

my optimus g is with problem

good day personal, my cell phone has a problem and can not solve.
often the device turns itself off, entering a kind of standby, where the screen goes black and lit buttons. But do not do anything, I have to reincia it, which often can only with the connection with the USB.
sometimes also the applications close one by one, this process stopped ... until the phone get the dark screen.
someone knows how to solve?

Maybe just try to install another rom.

Have you tried a reset? Otherwise, install a custom ROM.

Sounds like a software bug. Use a custom rom!

Note 2 keeps restarting everytime!

Hi guys. A relative asked me if i can repair his note 2. I think his network was locked and the phone keeps restarting everytime. I flashed a new firmware on the phone. The one I use on mine..XXUFNG1, and also I went into recovery and clear data and cache after flashing. But still the phone keeps rebooting everytime. Why is that and how can I fix this?
Note : It's not bootloop or anything. You can switch on the phone, use it for like 5mins and then it freezes and restarts itself. And it goes on like that. Sometimes it doesn't restart also and you can use for more. But most of the time after 5mins, it restarts.

Everything stock..like I said! Before flashing to the newest rom too, everything was stock.

Was the phone dropped or exposed to moisture? Possible battery problem? Reboots even when connected to a charger?

Hi..thanks for reply. I tried another battery in it. The one I use myself. But it still restarts. I don't know if the phone was dropped or anything though. The relative just told me that it needs to be unlocked. Do you think it's software related? Or something is damaged in the phone?

Since it is running a stock ROM and still behaves this way after a factory reset, I think there is a hardware problem.

I might have a similar problem. I copy from another thread:
Hey guys,
I like this rom so far. But since 2 weeks I got an issue.
My phone randomly turns off, atleast I guess that's what happens. Sometimes the "notify" LED is on permanently but the display won't go on. To start the phone again I have to put out the battery and put it back in.
My battery is randomly empty pretty fast even if I just let the phone turned off. This happens like every 5 minutes.
I already bought a new battery but the problem hasn't changed.
What to do now? :>

I like the phone. It's over 5 years old and runs like the first day. Except it DOESN'T wake up anymore after a short time when the screen is off. I can press the power/home button as many times as I want and wait for 5 minutes, screen will still be off. Only way to "wake" it up again is to put the battery out and in again.
Currently I don't have enough money to buy a new phone and I can get a new motherboard for 25$. But I'm not sure if this will fix my problem.
I'm not even sure if this is the ROMs problem since it worked with all earlier versions of this rom perfectly and even the latest release worked for weeks/months.

As long as I leave the screen turned on the display/phone won't go off and I can use it as always. Even the battery don't drop drastically then.
It might be exposed to moisture tho. When I take a hot shower I'll leave it on the window sill and the room gets steamy.
ROM: [7.1.2 r24] LineageOS for N7100 [Unofficial] - Version from 08.10.2017
GAPPS: Open Gapps ARM 7.1 Aroma - 03.05.2017
Baseband: N7100XXUFND3
Ril and other stuff I don't know where to check.
Some years ago I had the SDS and the motherboard was changed without the EMMC bug.
Sometimes my phone only charges in slow mode too.
I try a clean install and newer pico gapps now. Maybe it will solve the problem. I'll reply then if it worked or not.
[EDIT]
Since my phone was low on battery I turned it off completly and put it on the charger. After an hour or so I wanted to look after it.
The green charging light stays on and if I want to turn the phone on nothing happens. The light stays on even after removing the charger.
Seems like a hardware, not a rom problem? Will changing the motherboard fix this?
[EDIT 2]
Quick update. I fully wiped/factory resetted and clean installed newest version of this ROM + newest mini pico GApps. Still the same problem. Gonna try it with another ROM/kernel now and if the problem persists it's a hardware fault.
[EDIT 3]
Fully wiped again and changed ROM+Kernel. Still the same problem.
