My Xperia Arc S is having random reboots, so I installed aLogCat to search for possible errors. The error "failed to open lock file iddd.pid" appears consistently every 5 seconds or so, and starts shortly after boot begins. I've searched the internet far and wide for this error but it appears to be an Xperia only thing, and some say it's related to either quick panel buttons or SystemUI.
What is the error about and is there a fix? Could it be related to reboots I experience from time to time?
I run Ultimate HD 5.0.1. with Advanced Stock kernel.

Hi everyone,
I finally managed to get CyanogenMod 6.1 up and running, and I proceeded to download the GApps bundle from here, making sure it was HDPI. I flashed it and it installed fine, phone booted, etc. The only thing is, I can't find Android Market. The wiki says it's included, but I can't find it anywhere after flashing this. GMail is there, as well as maps and everything else.
I've tried emailing myself the vending.apk file (tried a few different versions), and then opening/installing it from my phone after enabling apps from unknown sources. It recognizes it as the market app, tries to install, and then gives me the message "Application not installed" over the progress bar after about a second.
I then restored to my backup of a fresh Cyanogen install, tried clearing all the cache (both regular and Dalvik) and then reinstalling, but one of two things happens:
Either I get stuck in the Cyanogen loading screen, or after booting and loading the "touch the android to continue" screen, I get an error, the screen goes blank except for the status bar at the top, and rebooting only brings back the infinite Cyanogen screen.
I love Cyanogen, but I also need market. Is there any way to install it manually that will work?

Hello
I tried updating using Sony PC Companion application after it had finished, i turned it on and waited for the upgrading processes it took a long time and my phone's back became hot *really hot* then after it had finished upgrading it stuck with a blank screen and didn't take me to the home screen i can go to the camera if i pressed the capturing button , i can turn it off/restart it take screenshots or record the screen but i cannot go to the home screen and access other applications i can't even go to settings or notifications all i can see is the notifications and the back button i can't click at notifications and i cannot enter a pattern/password this so hopeless
sometimes it shows me the message * InitialBootSetup isn't responding * but even though nothing changes it stays at the same way
infos you might need
My phone is not rooted , it doesn't have a sim card/sd card, usb debugging is disabled and it was locked with pattern lock before upgrading
i tried using android device manager changed the password but still no big changes just got the ability to access emergency calls
the worse thing is that i didn't back it up before upgrading :crying:
Hello?
I thought I was alone.
This happened to me when I upgraded my Z1C to Lollipop too. All I did was:
1 Turn the phone off.
2 Connect it to the computer.
3 Open Sony PC Companion
4 Go to Support Zone (That's the first tiled option in PC companion).
5 Select Phone/Tablet Software Update.
It will go through the same process it went through at the initial stages of the update process. When it asks you to unplug the phone, go right ahead and you're good from there.
May flashing System (Lollipop) again will fix that!?
I wasn't able to re-update it because it requires me to unlock the phone
and i couldn't do so because i wasn't able to see the pattern lock to unlock it
sadly i had to repair my phone through the repair option in Sony PC Companion app
this resulted in overwriting everything and losing my data ..
I'm having the same problem (new, un-rooted phone) but any time I try to repair my phone using PC Companion I get an error message about a failure in sony update engine (error number 302). tried 3 different computers and running as an administrator with w7 or xp compatibility mode but i got the same error every time.
what can I do?
EDIT:
flashing a new firmware using flashtool solved the problem.
My phone is a canvas a1 with android m on it ( version 6.0.1 ). I was plagued by lots of the "Google x has stopped working" today it became a nuisance as it popped up every 10 seconds, so according to a guy, I cleared the cache after booting into recovery mode and it took a good 5 minutes. After the wiping, I booted up and i get "starting apps" for some 10 second and then the boot logo. This cycle continues forever. And once I did manage to reach the lock screen but then it wouldn't load Home - "couldn't start home". Can anybody help me out of this mess?
Update : now it's showing "optimising app 46 of 95" but after it finishes, I get an empty screen and only the back and multitask button works and, I get an error when I click home - "couldn't start home".
Please help as, though I have another phone, this is very important to me and lots of my things depend on whether this works or not.
Also, I haven't done a reset yet as I thought it'd be good to ask here first.
