[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EGM92:
Hey guys,

I have a Xperia Arc that took a tumble out of my pocket yesterday evening while I was visiting a friend out in the country side. His drive way is all gravel and scratched up the screen with tiny hairline scratches. Is it possible to buff these out? If so what kind of tools or supplies would I need ? Possible to get a replacement digitizer? the screen functions perfectly and the scratches arn't deep but I'd like it to look good to keep up the resale value. I know I'm going to get lectured here about how "you should have had a screen protector on it", I did have one on until recently and even had a case still on the body.

If anyone is able to help me or knows where I can get it replaced near where I am, I live in Chateauguay, Quebec Canada

Thanks in advance!

did u remove the preapplied shattered proof sp? by default se put one on ur screen unless u already removed that also..
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nöt:
Id also like to know if theres any tip how to remove scratches.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flo95:
There's a factory applied screen protector, just remove that you're scratch free.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pierreti:
Yes, try removing the factory screen protector first, and if there are still some scratches, you can go to an automotive store and try looking for plastic polish products, but NOT scratch fillers. I use this (http://www.bestplasticcleaner.com/) on my car's headlights, it's a very fine plastic polish, and might buff out small scratches, but if you can feel it with your finger nail, it's probably too deep.

If that doesn't work, you'll have to just replace the whole digitizer / screen assembly , which isn't too hard, but might be a bit expensive.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pierreti:
check out this XDA post for removing your screen.... i think somebody in there posted a place to buy replacement parts if you do need it...

Now the new market v3.0.26or v3.0.27 can be download in some android forum. I am not sure the new edition market paid apps can be access by VPN. (I access paid apps by in old vision 2.3.6) May someone know it or ever test it?
[Wildfire General] Derrian:
Yep, me again. So is it possible to reset my gps data without having to reset the whole phone?
[Wildfire General] ErwinP:
To wipe the data of a program without the program itself, you can go to settings-applications-manage applications and select the appliction you want to wipe the data from. Then look for the option 'clear cache'.

I hope this solves your problem.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grey Ghost:
Hey guys, I've been having issues with my X10a's data connection. Tried the latest Wolf's gingerbread, and of course flashing down to a generic 2.1 which does seem a bit more stable on the connection but I'm hoping I can figure out the issue completely.

Basically, when the radio initiates a data connection the handset has a good chance of freezing up and plopping itself into a nasty little reboot. Now I've tried up and down flashes like I said, tried a new battery, SD cards and I'll probably resort to buying a new sim to test with to rule that last bit out too. Any help would really be appreciated. Here's some current info.

*Wireless seems to work just fine

*can make calls send texts

Carrier AT&T

Android Ver. 2.3.3

Baseband Ver. 2.1.71

Kernel: 2.6.29-00054-g5f01537

Thanks in advance for any help guys.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grey Ghost:
Tried it a couple times but it Didn't seem to help any unfortunately, thanks anyway.

Edit: I've set my phone to not use Data on the phone radio for the time being so I can still at least use wifi which seems to be doing just fine Calls work and text messaging works just fine too bizarrely enough. Another thing I'd like to note is that One dump log (that I unfortunately lost) from when I was testing to make sure it wasn't a heat issue both times seemed to point to some possible networking related aspect, NPARTS? or the like with some other stuff.

so yeah, better in conversation but i got my phone work after 2 days of flashing back and forth @@

but anyway... will see how it go with the person i just helped, if it goes well then i ll start, if not then :P idk... will figure something out :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grey Ghost:
Well, no luck with any 2.3.3 based android unfortunately so I down flashed to a 10a 2.1 build and that seems to run just fine as far as the radio is concerned, in the end I think there's just so many factors to muddle through hardware wise cables, sims, batteries yada-yada that i'll take this turn of fortune and wait to see if SE ever releases anything 10a specific on the assumption there may be an off chance it addresses some rare little quirk a few others and myself seem to have.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuner520:
Sounds similar to my problem, maybe same solution... Every time phone is on charger and network is used, phone automatically rebooted after a little while. For me, this was same on all WB GB roms until now. But now, I am typing this and browsing XDA while charging and its not rebooting. I cant give you a guarantee but maybe phone just needs time to settle? Its been preyty good to me for a while now.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goku16:
flash the phone in the weekend and leave it alone for like half a day or something^^

i leave it overnight and surprisingly wake up and see the phone is on without any lose of battery ( well, 1or 2% ) ^^!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Krusty81:
Just an update on my progress. I was playing around with the phone last night, and had managed to get it to the stage of having the 2.3 update but without a sim. I charged it to 100% and then attempted to put in the sim card. It didn't like that very much and instead of going through the restart loop, it just would not turn on.

I flashed it back to 2.1 and i it worked again. Then i flashed it to 2.3 and it wouldn't turn on again. Flashed it back to 2.1 and gave up for the night.

This morning, i tried to put in the sim card in 2.1 and it worked!

I think on my next days off, (in 2 days) i will try and flash it to 2.3 and see what happens.

In reference to the posibility of a hardware issue, i did not smell any burning The phone has been running all night and the battery is not hot at all. In fact it is cold. It could still be a hardware issue, but I'm not getting any of the issues described in that thread mentioned execpt the restarting.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grey Ghost:
Yeah, it's seeming like our phones are in a little "Does not like 2.3" minority If I could decipher the hardware version stuff under the battery maybe that would offer some more clues up.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Krusty81:
Yeah, i'll take a picture of the the specs and post it up here in the next few days.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goku16:
srsly guys... u need more than a day to flashing around to get it working.. especially the BB + kernel... as far as i can remember... because mine is x10a... i flashed the 2.1 generic FW and i have BB54... then i root + install xrecovery...

then i flash the 2.3 ftf via flashtool using the flashtool mentioned in Doomlord rooting method section ( because the xrecovery only working if u install through that version)

after flash, i leave it all night ( well because i felt to sleep while the phone still booting) in the morning i wake up and there it is... battery is nearly as full and phone running great with signal

then i root the phone via doomlord method + install xrecovery... then leave the phone for a while see if any reboot--- but none

so i start flash via xrecovery wolf's version... firstly on 3.5.... nothign else and leave it for half a day....
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Krusty81:
Yeah, that's what i plan on trying. The method of leaving it for a while after you have done something worked for my sim card issue.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goku16:
do it on weekend yeah? or else u gonna get bored because otw to work the x10 keep rebooting =))

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xerkses:
I've had the same issue with my phone.

I had wolf's rom running great for two days, went to check my facebook on 3g and then it went into a reboot loop and wouldn't stop. Took the battery out for 10 mins and it was still reboot looping.

I have an x10a as well on Rogers in Canada.

Should I attempt to install wolfs rom, not use it for a day and then get all my apps and data and whatnot?

Being stuck on Laggy offical 2.1 is really not pleasant...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goku16:
hm... u getting laggy on 2.1? then... idk... maybe it's not a good idea to be on 2.3 since u experienced lagging on 2.1 which is lighter than 2.3... idk :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] missime:
well for me if i use the 2.1 also i get the reboot when data connection is on . tried 2.3 and wolf too . any one got a fix for this yet
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grey Ghost:
My next step is going to be opening it up with a Torx and checking the connections. On one hand it has the makings of a heat issue, but on the other it seems to be much more stable sim-less so it's one of those little conundrums.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] upper20c:
i have the same problem, how did you downflashed to 2.1?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adixmail:
3G might be the culprit

I have checked my X10i over and over again and discovered that the issue with my phone restarting itself is completely on 3G data transmission. If I or my phone attempts any data transmission such as contact synchronization, browsing, etc. the phone will just go into continuous rebooting, whether on 2.1 or 2.3. Even if I am not using the phone, once 3G is ON, then trouble is ON. Nevertheless, I am still able to do these activities over the WiFi.

For SE not to have done anything about this, implies they expect us to dump the junk and come queue up to buy their recent pieces of junks (Arc, Play, etc.). Sorry, SE has lost it and lost it for good. They will soon go the way of Nokia and MS.:mad:
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thelastredshirt:
I had the same problem at first. I could stop it from bootlooping by turning on airplane mode. Eventually, it started looping even without a SIM card. After some more flashing. It's now completely dead. All I get is a green LED flash and a vibrate. I can flash any rom I want and it'll complete successfully, but the device never boots properly.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adixmail:
Design Error

Guys, forget about this phone and save yourself the unnecessary headache. It is obviously a design error by SE, unfortunately they are not saying anything about this issue. What a shame!

Is anyone else having a problem updating your PRI after flashing the ENG bootloader? I remember having this issue with my Evo 4G and the ENG bootloader. I have tried both the RUU and stock.zip and still at PRI Version 1.15_003. My OCD is currently at high alert:o.
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
i'm completely stock but have ran revolutionary so i'm on their hboot with a custom recovery.

my PRI version is 1.15_003 also ...

i do remember these issues on the EVO and it was essential due to lack of a full update being released by HTC/Sprint. In their OTA files and RUU files we were usually only given pieces of the update which generally lacked and updated PRI.

hope we aren't having those same issues with the EVO 3D!
[HTC EVO 3D] nunyabiziz:
It looks like it might be better to update to the latest RUU/OTA before rooting or s-off. My other evo 3d took the ota update before rooting so it does have PRI version 16.
[HTC EVO 3D] oreoOozZz:
Ever since i've updated to the 1.24_003 PRI, ive had terrible service even with my airave in the house... constantly roams and when it does go on sprint signal, its on 1x with 1 bar never more in places where i used to get perfect full bar 3G. Tried flashing diff radios, updated profile, updated PRL... nothing seems to work. If anybody knows where i could get my hands on the 1.15_003 please shoot me a PM and HELPPPPPPPPPPP! lol
[HTC EVO 3D] laie1472:
Try this if you haven't already.

Open up your stock dialer and dial

##3382#

Then select edit when the menu appears.

Then enter your msl number.

Then select data profile.

Then select automatic if its not already selected.

Then press menu and select commit/save changes.

Then another window will appear stating that your phone will reboot in 10 seconds or you can select ok and reboot the device Manually. At this point just waiit the 10 seconds.

When the phone is rebooted check and see how your signal and data are then.

I'm not sure if this will help your issue or not but I think its worth a shot.

Also you have to have your msl. If you don't you can call sprint and request it which IMO is the difficult way of obtaining it or if your rooted you can download an app called msl reader from the market for free and it will give you your msl in like 20 seconds. I hope this helps.

I've tried over 6 different ROM's, possibly every kernel ever made for this phone(OC and non-OC), wiped cache and dalvik cache and factory resets a million times. Even the XXJPS stock rom(with stock kernel) gives me the same problem.:mad:

I have. Assuming you have unrooted properly all you need to do now is re-flash an official update from the Asus site. If that doesn't work you haven't unrooted properly and you'll need to NVflash back to stock and re-flash another Asus download.
