I've searched this site and couldn't find anything about this. If I missed it, I apologize.
So, I've had my Sony Xperia X10 since December 2010.
Recently, about 2 weeks or so ago, a new logo has appeared on my status bar. It's not on the notification bar (the left side), it's on the status bar (the right side). The logo is a dual spinning arrow. The one that appears on the notification bar is 2 spinning arrows in a circle that are kinda vertical. The new logo i'm getting is of 2 noticably fatter spinning arrows, making a slight bigger circle where the arrows are going horizontally, not vertically.
When this new logo shows up, I can not send/recieve texts, nor connect the the Market or the Broswer. I haven't tried making calls, but I have never received a call while that logo is active.
It comes up randomally from time to time, and it's completely annoying. As I usually notice it when I'm at work or out and about, and I don't know exactly when it appeared or how, so I don't know if i've missed any texts or calls. When the logo is no longer there, then all of the texts that I missed during the time it was active all appear at once, with the current time stamp. I've responded to them, only to find that they were sent hours earlier, but I didn't recieve them until after that logo went away.
In order to get rid of the logo I've first tried checking all of my settings and apps and what not but with no luck. I've gone online to look it up but found nothing. So I've been turning the phone on and off. But it doesn't always work, and rarely works the first 3 or 4 times. I have to turn it off, and then back on, and when it comes back on, within 30 secs of fully booting up, it just reappears out of no where. I then shut it off again, and back on. and then, about 3 or 4 times later, it doesn't turn on, finally. Other times, I have to take the battery out, and then put it back in, and every time i've done that, it hasn't come back on when it rebooted. it's weird like that.
I've tried looking up this logo to see what it is, but I have found nothing on this logo. I've found the thinner vertical spinning arrows in the notification bar on many websites. But I have not found one thing on the thicker horizontal spinning arrows on the status bar. Even the official list of icons doesn't show it listed either.
It really sucks that it randomally appears out of the blue from time to time. Not every day. sometimes every other day, or every couple of days. but I never know exactly when it happens. it just appears. usually when its in my pocket or sometimes when it's charging, but always when i'm not paying attention to the phone. so i don't know when it starts, how long its been active, or how it starts. But I would like it to stop, only, I don't know how to do that.
I've found lots of answer to things for phones on this site, but have never felt the need to create an account or post anything, as i've always just looked and looked and found what i needed to know. But this time, i can't find anything anywhere. Again, if i overlooked it on this site, i apologize. But I coudln't find it.
Does anybody have a clue as to what this logo means or does. Again, it's not on the left side of the top bar, it's on the right side, and its bigger than the left side logo, and is spinning horizontally, not vertically.
After looking it up online, and checking settings and apps, and everything, to no avail, I got some antivirus apps, but they've all found nothing. So i'm stumped as to what this could be.
Is there anybody out there who could help or possibly know anything about this. My phone is ok for the moment, but it did happen earlier today, and I know it'll happen again soon.
Thanks in advance.
The spinning arrows is the phone syncing with account on the phone. Check the sync settings

Lol....
You have set up an account, either google, facebook or twitter.
Your phone will sync from time to time so that you get updated.
The spinning arrows are just that and are a completely normal function of the phone.
I would only worry if you have not signed up for any accounts (Including logging onto the market, because that uses a google account)
If you are still worried go to
setting
accounts and sync
and disable it
Hope this helps
It definitely is not the syncing. The syncing icon is a little different. Also, as I've stated, I've already checked those settings, among others. I've had both the syncing on at the same time as this new icon was on, and there is clearly two different icons, one stating the syncing status, the other nothing. I've disabled the syncing before, and that logo goes away, but not this new icon, which seems to disable any and all network activity. But I know it has nothing to do with the syncing, as that works fine and is controllable.
But thanks tho. Anything else it could be.
Is your phone rooted, if so , find an app in the market that can take a photo of your phone screen. Then we can see what the symbol is.
Look up the app shootme if your phone is rooted. And post the pic. This can help us solve your problem.

nope, sorry, its not rooted. I've never tried to root it. Tho I did update it awhile back. Long before this new thing started. It's always worked great before this. Like I said, it's only recently started doing this, like in the past 2 weeks or so. I have not added any new apps or games or anything in over a month either.
I doubt this helps, but heres some info on my phone.

Do you have auto software update checked. I can only think of that if its not the sync. icon. Use android SDK to take a screen shot if its not rooted.
Apologies in advance for the potentially vague description, but I also cannot find a solution elsewhere on the forum.
Earlier today, I was watching a YouTube video and then I locked my phone and left it to charge whilst I went downstairs (as I often do). When I returned roughly an hour later, I found the screen on, which I only ever do if I've left Draw Something open, or some similar app - but it was on the lock screen.
(none of that is necessarily important, I just wanted to clear up the "what did you do to make it start rebooting" question)
Anyway, after unlocking the phone, the screen went to black and the phone restarted.
However, it wasn't a "real" reboot, because the boot screen didn't come up, etc. It's just like just the UI is restarted. I can usually use the phone for about 30 seconds at a time. This seems extended when I have flight mode on, and is even longer still when I have the phone locked.
I've uninstalled some potentially-offending apps, removed the SD card, cleared some apps' data, but to no avail.
I'm using default 4.0.4 from Samsung. The only issues I'd had with it until now were that some apps crashed occasionally, but I attributed that mainly to the apps themselves.
The most annoying thing for me is that is seems like it's an issue that can be fixed quite simply, without having to uninstall every app or factory reset the phone.
Anyone have any other ideas as to what I could do? Thanks!

just go to recovery mode and fix permissions
I received my phone from amazon a for a few days now. (coming from sprint epic touch 4g)
My phone is stock and unrooted.
I keep getting the message "unfortunately, battery has stopped working." its a popups as my phone hangs/ freezes for a min or more.
I can turn the screen off but nothing else is responsive. i can't go into menus or reboot when it hangs.
it would appear several times.
Using a battery app my temp hovers around 88 F
on the second day i did a factory reset and it still occurred . the 3rd day i decided to do a factory reset without app backup . i did selective install on specific apps.
At first i seems it was facebook, but after uninstalling it would still get hangs with the pop up message.
what gives.. Any clues??
I bought the Nubia Z5s a year ago when I was living in China for half a year. the phone worked fin for me until about last march. At that point the screen simply stopped working. I disregarded the phone for a while and started using my old HTC One X again.
About a month ago I ordered a new screen for the phone from china, and installed it. All went well, the phone turn on again nog problem. I turned the phone on for the first time last Sunday afternoon. Put the SIM card in on Monday morning at around 8 AM before I left for work (I did use the WiFi on Sunday to download apps and such).
At exactly the moment I turned on my SIM (phone and data) the phone gave an error message: "Unfortunately, SystemUI has stopped". It gives me the options OK and Report, but both options do not end the endless appearance of the message. After a few reboots, and switching back to Airplane mode I got the phone to work again. I then searched the internet, and it told me to delete my Cache Partition. Now I use Stock Mod (with google services) so I have no idea how to use CWM nor do I know how to boot this phone into recovery mode (tried a few combinations). So I just went into the Settings>Apps menu and started clearing specific app caches. That seemed to work, did not get the error again.
The next day, again around 8 AM the same thing happened. This time the message was more persistent, harder to get rid of. Took me a dozen reboots and connection top my laptop to clear the message. Wednesday, same thing happened, again around 8 AM. Tried updating to latest version of the software, worked for a day.
Yesterday (Thursday) again around 8 AM same message. This time it would not go away. tried for over 3 hours. Reboots, connecting to PC, the whole works. So I tried a factory reset (did not erase data) worked, again for a day. 8 AM this morgning (Friday). same error message. Not been able to get rid of it yet. So I am guessing there is some corrupt app or service running every day around 8 AM (not a big believer in coincidence ). Is there any way to find out what process is causing this error? Or does anybody know something else I can try?
EDIT: I am able to preform some actions on the phone between the OK clicking (about a tap/swipe per time)
Tried resetting phone with erasing phone data this time. Still didn't work. Now trying reset without installing Google Services Framework. Am trying to determine if the phone has a problem with my service provider.
Wazzup.
Over at the Pixel 6 Pro fair, we have quite the number of people having problems with random reboots. We are trying to narrow it in - Android12? Pixel 6? Software? Hardware?
So - anyone here with the same set of problems? Or does the Pixel 6 not have that kind of issue?
For reference: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/random-reboots.4353231/
I have gotten several random reboots as well. 256gb seafoam pixel 6. In particular, I was using "Frep" automation app (unrooted, used pc to start server) to do repetitive image searches in a game. Also the phone was sitting on a wireless charger while doing this. I noticed my phone felt pretty warm, wonder if it could be overheating?
Could be a naughty 3rd party app. Have you tried safe mode?
I posted this here:
P6 Bluetooth Problems
My p6 will see most some of my Bluetooth devices (laptop, tablet, TV, earbuds) . It pairs with the earbuds, but everything else it will try and pair, usually does not. If and when hen it does pair, that pairing is dropped dropped within 5 secs...
forum.xda-developers.com
My random reboots (or crashes that forced me to reboot) almost entirely stem from the wifi+bluetooth implementation. I found a sure-fire way to crash it during setup. Without word vomiting here, connecting the P6 with and to other devices has proved more difficult than any previous Pixel (for me).

Not yet. It's also hard to "force" it (the reboots, I am not able to replicate it manually). Yesterday it just randomly happened whilst the phone laid idle next to me, thrice at the morning, about one time through late afternoon, then one time evening. I just notice the screen lighting up, then the Google logo comes, meaning the phone restarted.
I'm also pretty sure that Bluetooth/Wifi settings differed when the reboots happened, ergo at some times bluetooth was on, then when it rebooted, bluetooth was off. At no time when the reboots happened had I a bluetooth device connected. WiFi was online though, all the time.
What all the reboots have in commong though (at least the ones where I am concerned), is that the phone is just laying next to me, or somewhere, being in idle - doing as far as I know, nothing. It never happened when I used the phone or put it under load, so my P6 never "crapped" out under me. That's why I am not that concerned about this as of now, but it's certainly a nuisance to unlock the phone every time with my darn pin.
(Concerning 3rd party app) - I'd say that's unlikely. I copied my files over from my Pixel 4 XL and have not yet added one singular other app to my P6 Pro, so it should have gone naughty before my transfer over.
Hi! I experienced a big crash on the pixel 6. When I was configuring telegram, the app crashed and then the screen got black. After a minute it rebooted to the Google logo with a loading bar underneath. It was blocked in that state, but I could reboot it with volume up + power button.
I was pretty scared as the usual button down + power button didn't do anything lol
12 (SD1A.210817.036) on my pixel 6, occurred randomly when opening camera app. Happend 7-10 times.

Odd. I never had a problem whilst using the phone, my phone only rebooted when laying idle (even though today I had no reboots at all, alas I didn't use the phone much, maybe 2h SoT without any heavy lifting).
Something in android 12 is bugging around, maybe we have to open support tickets.

I just talked for a while with a Google rep and he said that they are not aware of any reboot problems, no people over at Google Forums have reported such a thing. "We do not monitor Reddit or XDA" - so he said he opened a support ticket to the responsible team and they would look into it, he also asked that I / we report/feedback this under -> Settings -> Tips & Support -> Feedback.
We also talked about a lens flare problem, that at least the Pixel 6 Pro has. If you shot some photos where the sun is directly shining into the camera, you might want to re-check them. Most of mine have either some sort of big circular green dot in them, or a big beam of light like in a phone with a very bad HDR processing. It seems to be some sort of software glitch, he also reported that.
So hopefully those things can get fixed.
This was the follow-up email:
Thank you for contacting Google support.
This email is regarding the chat conversation we had earlier today, I'm sorry we weren't able to complete it. Hence I wanted to follow up via email to ensure all your queries have been answered.
Please re-launch the camera app and check if the issue is fixed.
Please be assured our developer team is working on this to fix it as soon as possible. We would really appreciate your kind understanding as we work on this to fix it for you.

I'm having similar restarts while phone is sitting on a table doing nothing. Tried a factory reset and was fine until overnight on charge and it happened again.
Also have had a few times where wifi has stopped working for some reason. Not sure if related.
Not had any reboots but quiet a few app crashes in especially FB will be scrolling away and bang just closes also Amazon app ,
Well that was interesting.. When it rebooted that time, it gave me an error screen saying it could not load and may be corrupt. I had two options, try again and factory reset. Try again got me back running, but I'm wondering do I got as defective device now.. or if it's software related.
So after a lot of messing around, I think I have narrowed down what may be causing my reboots. It only seems to happen when I am using "Frep" to play macros on a game while charging my phone.. the phone gets pretty hot, and reboots when I tap the screen or try to swipe home or recent apps. Maybe its overheating, or maybe its "Frep" playing naughty.. but Frep did work perfectly fine on my old $200 used Nord N10 5g. Will update if it reboots while not doing this.
no reboots or crashes so far, not doing any gaming - but using phone for email, surfing, whatsapp etc and also a work profile for MS outlook and teams.
I have/had similar issues with my Pixel 6 (128GB - europe unlocked).
I was transferring old data via cable from my old (Xiaomi Mi A1) to the Pixel 6. This resulted in sluggish performance, crashes every 15 minutes. The crashes would randomly occur and behave mostly like this:
Try to unlock phone with fingerprint sensor
Fingerprint sensor lights up, nothing happens, no haptic response
Swiping up to the PIN entry. Enter PIN and hit enter. Nothing happens. Now freeze.
Screen turns black and it takes phone to reboot on average ~7minutes
Factory Reset; Installed apps manually (standard messaging apps, no games etc), better performance, problem persists
Factory reset; boot into safemode. It now took way longer to provoke the issue. But it still happened.
After this I contacted the customer service and they will provide me with a replacement. But now after a night of idle, the phone was working for 3-4 hours without any issue at all with most of my apps installed. It just now went into a random reboot (could only notice because it asked for PIN because of the reboot). But not the 8 minute blank black screen type of reboot.
I am really unsure what is the issue at hand here. But have to say that experience is less than ideal.
Mine just happened last night, not charging or running anything 3rd party apps (all from App Store). I tried to use the camera after eating dinner and noticed that double clicking power button doesn't open the camera anymore. After unlocking the phone it appears that the phone has restarted.
Is anyone running Private DNS on their system like Adguard DNS or NextDNS? I did some searching and people reported some private DNS were causing Android to crash. It was suppose to be fixed in previous Android versions but it could be back again.
I haven't noticed any random reboots (and the lock screen will require a pin to be entered after reboot and says this on the screen, so you should know the phone rebooted). I've had the P6 since the official release date. In fact, I haven't restarted the phone in days.
I run a wide variety of apps. Some from the Play store and some sideloaded. I think that any reboot issues are probably app related. Remember that A12 is very new and the are surely still some compatibility issues that app developers haven't found/fixed yet.
