Hi,

my sony ericsson xperia arc S and ive had nothing but trouble with my phone

Can anyone help me out
What do i do?
Do i remove it?
HELP PLEASE!!
Thanks

Did you download the alpha-builds of these ROMs? If yes, then that may be the cause of your problems as these alpha-builds are not much stable, buggy of-course and not meant for everyday usage. You should better download a stable release of the ICS ROMs for these devices, when made available by Sony.
Hope that helps, thanks
Everything you just said went straight over my head!! lol
*Technophobe* lol
It came through as a notification to my phone saying new updates available so i downloaded it and had problems ever since. Can it be removed?? x
Well, you could download previous stock rom ( your previous android version ), and try to flash it.

Hey guys,
I didn't know where to post this, so here it goes.
I'm having some trouble. I'm running CM nightly #115. I flashed the Google Apps package from here (the one for CyanogenMod 7). Now sometimes when I'm in the Android Market app, not only does it FC, but it freezes my phone so I have to reboot it.
Scrolling through the app details is what causes the freezes
I've tried CM 7.1 stable, several nightlies and MIUI, but it keeps happening!
I also tried cleaning cache, data and uninstalling updates, for the Market app. Nothing works!
Can you please help me?

Yes, tried that. Didn't work.
thought it was only me and that my phone was a lemon but i simply left all cm an miui aside after about a year of loyalty and went back to an asop rom (crysis 2.0) and it really not that bad going back.. i mean its not miui as far as customization and smoothness but its mad stable with absolutely no issues at all and i cant see myself going back to having "a perfect rom except ..... "..
Happens to me the same. I'm using NDT MIUI v10 and from what i noticed it happens only when i'm charging it from the USB port and at the same time browsing the market (just market).
Browsing the market without charging presents no issues. From what i've read around it has something to do with static electricity (might be wrong though) because i am not using the stock usb cable, but a Nokia one.
I've tested with various kernels, nothing seems to fix it. So far i got used not to use the market while the phone is plugged in.
If anyone has any explanation or even better, a fix, i'm interested in it.

Same problem here. Phone totally freezes when downloading and installing something from market while is plugged in. I have original usb cable and charger. It happens either when plugged to the laptop or to the wall charger.
Now running miui 1.2.16. previously I was running GalnetMIUI and with the last update this issue started going on randomly using market app. never happened before with cm7. I didn't try wiping data cuz I'm waiting to do so for the ics miui v4.
The weird thing is that it doesn't matter if the phone is charging or not.
Scrolling through the app details is what causes the freezes (this screen).
This must be a flaw with the Market app
I made a thread here:
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/39058-market-freezes-phone/
It looks like I'm not the only one experiencing this.
same here..on cm7..
no problem with old market..it looks like market 3.4.4 not liking cm7 based roms
back to stock rom for now..
The same problem here.flashed many kernel to get fix, and relashing rom,even up and downgrade miui, changing themes,but nothing help. I'll freeze on market when scrolling down.
NOW PROBLEM SOLVE!!

I also tried 3.1.2.
It didn't happen immediately, but after I scrolled in app details in several apps, it finally happened. The bug is there, but not as effective.
Flash another older version.. till bugs gone. I also flashed another kernel.. i dont know if flashing another kernel would help,but it work for me, the bugs bunny is in the market waiting to freeze me when im on siyah 2.6, i flashed fluxi kernel, still the same, then flashed excell69 kernel.. seems like the bugs bunny has return back to disneyland. Im happy now.
But this is just for temporary, coz today there will be another version of miui will release, to flash new rom and hope this bunny will not appear again.
Ill post it here for you if anything happen.

Couldn't you identify and explain the bug so the Google Apps package can be fixed?
Hi guys,
I'm new here and i've been using the xperia s for about a month now, really like the phone. However i want to try stock android ui etc and decided to flash fxp 133 . I just want to know if there is any issues with the unofficial cyangenmod 9. I know hdmi is not working but its not really a feature i use anyway. What about the rest like camera , nfc and all the wireless connectivity.
Yeah it's pretty much stable there's only one or two things that users have noticed I.e. you can't send sms with over 160 characters and perhaps a few other things but really you can't notice them and they don't impact performance. Bin4ry from FXP explained the SMS bug in the dev thread but yeah go for it, if you have any questions just ask
I recently jumped onto the Xperia S CM9 train and I must say our dev's did a VERY good job with it. The SMS problem is not even really an issue (hit send at 160char) so I wouldn't worry about that really.
I am usually very cautious when flashing beyond a modified stock, as a heap of problems can happen, but honestly, I am not looking back, and any small bugs that may appear later on, I have the confidence in the FXP team that they will sort it out.
If you don't really mind the HDMI and hitting send at 160 characters, I would say go for it..you could always go back, and it will keep getting better and better . Just remember to read through everything carefully and flash responsibly
Enjoy!
ok just want a few simple questions. On CM9 link, which one is correct for XS? I can see coconut, anzu, haida etc etc. And what exactly are the names stand for? It's again same with gapp.
Also anyone actually tried TV out? is it 100% not working?
Thanks.

Guys I'm an Xperia U user for the past 4 months. I've been running GB for 2 months and then upgraded to official Indian ICS via SUS. I didn't have any problem for a week and ICS was so smooth and a delight indeed. But after the first week the phone was lagging especially when I received a call in between running an app. I had to wait like 10s so that the accept button comes up and another 10s to actually start talking. And sometimes it froze. So I had to remove the battery to reboot.
So I reinstalled the OS again and again it was smooth for a week and the same problem started. I always keep my internal memory free for atlast 1GB.
Now I've put a new copy of OS again via SUS last day so it's smooth now.
I've something to clarify,if I root my device and put the French ICS will it make any changes and how does OS gets aged every time after a week. I've reset my phone and I restart my phone everyday.

Currently m on french ics
Nd I have no issues in a month
Though sometimes it too gets unresponsive during attending a call bt only for a single second
Bt before that -
I suggest u to limit the background process in developer options to 2
It will certainly help on ur stock ics

I dont have the xperia U, but did you ever try doing a factory reset? Might solve your problem
If that doesnt work use binary v9 to root and delete some stock apps, ive had the same problem until I deleted a few apps. Theres a list of apps you can safely remove somewhere in this forum. Under general I think....
found the link and I've only removed a few:

If you do root then clean dalvik cache every now and then just to keep things running smoothly

(Fairly) new S2 user here. Gotta say, coming from an Apple device, Android is leagues ahead.
I've got a particular question regarding the music player in Samsung's stock 2.3.6/4.0.4. Is it possible to use either of these with a Jelly bean ROM? I've tried installing them both at random times, and the phone will immediately state "App Not Installed." However, I've seen people do the same thing for other stock samsung apps that work just fine.
If it helps, I'm running Jellybam 3.3.0. Patiently waiting for their servers to come back from the dead so I can get 4.0.0
Thanks in advance!

He use JellyBam.
Man, use the sony walkman that i think came with jellybam or install google play from store.
I was using that before buy poweramp that is the best player on last 12 months.
You can also try Xenoamp beta from xda. Search for it.
About sansung apps you do need to know 1 thing.
There are 2 kinds of Roms.
1- official sansung release base
2- aosp roms
Exclusive Apps from 1 wont work on 2.
Not a big deal cuz there is better options out there.

I got the player to work from another rom.

Check this thread - I installed this in my root folder and it works. The only thing iffy is the search function which if you select from the "suggested" items that pop up - crashes the app. But if you type it in and hit the search button (not the suggested) it works flawlessly.

Used it on CM Mod9,10. JellyBAM, and AOKP roms.
All working except for that small bug in the search.
