phone reboot and does not repond to touc anymore - Xperia Arc General

WTF, i was exploring my phone and suddenly it reboots, after reboot the screen comes up but it does not respond to the touch or any hardware button.
I tried a hard reset via the button keys back, menu and power on, but no success.
Now i am trying to reinstall the rom, fingers crossed.
Does somebody also had this problem before?
Ok. i reinstalled the sw and the phone works, but is this a hardware related problem or software related problem?
I still can exchange the phone, so i need to know this.

Seems a software problem to me

HTC Magic all messed up... Anyone knows why?

My HTC Magic is all messed up...
My keys wont work properly, my touchscreen sometimes work sometimes doesn't, and when I try to turn on the phone, sometimes I only get a black screen, and then boots normally but I can't use touchscreen (but my trackball and send and end button work)...
I've tried changing roms, upgrading and downgrading radios and spl but nothing seems to get this fixed!
Can anyone help me?
Thanks
Have you tried warranty service?! It's not always about the Software.
Yeah sounds more like a hardware problem to me too

Very strange screen freezing

Hi,
Since a few days my screen is freezing very often, almost 10 times a day. It is only the screen that is frozen, not the hardware buttons. To unfreeze it, I have to push the power button a few times very fast .....till the next time it will freeze again.
I don't understand what happened because I haven't add or removed a program since a few weeks. I have done a hard reset and I have updated my rom but after having installed all my programs, this behaviour came back.
I am afraid that it could be a hardware problem.
Any idea what to do ?
Thanks

HD2 Screen Problems
I have the EXACT SAME problem....
I solved mine by slamming the screen face down into a table; although I wouldn't suggest this as I have damaged part of my lcd screen. But the Touch Screen works 24/7 now.
It seems to be a common problem with HD2

SEND it in to HTC if you have warranty.. if you don't. Then S.O.L.

But my problem is not totally similar because it also happens when my phone is already on.
I have to admit that the problem began a few days after having installed - but in the meantime already removed- Android.

Try pressing the "off" button to put the phone to "sleep",
then push the "off" button again to "wake" the phone,
can you use the touch now? try multiple times to conclude.
Next try waking the phone by either one of the other buttons,
can you use touch now? try multiple times to conclude.
On my HD 2 it is the off button that doesnt wake the phone properly so the lcd wakes but not the touch screen..
I dont yet now if this is a soft or hardware issue related to the "Off" button.. but many folks have the issue now a days

Yes, it was what I am doing. I don't think it has something to do with the "off button" because it happens also when my phone is already on , and sometimes
my screen begins to start other applications that I have pressed.

I have tried; had only one freezing today. Will see in the next few days. Maybe
because of the week end I haven't used so intensive my HD2.

No , after having changed my SD card, I still have the same problem
Hi everybody.
I solved my freezing just installing memMaid with default settings and scheduling a run in the night time. Moreover I scheduled a soft reset after that, not with memMaid because I didn't find such an option but with a little exe I found somewhere here called schedulereset.exe.
I hope this can help someone.
Post soem specifications
Eeey there,
I understand you have issue's with a freezing screen on your HD2. Pherhaps something may is wrong with the Drivers or the ROM. Or may there is a application running in the background that isn't stable and causes the screen to freeze.
Could you may post some specifications about the ROM you are running on your phone, wich radio you use etc.

I think it only happens in custom roms

Maybe,
I have already used different ROMS ( I am using now MIRI's Rom) but it was working fine till a few weeks ago. I have done a Hard reset, tried with 2 new cooked ROMS and installed the
SAME programs I was using - they were working fine till a few weeks ago- and
again the same freezing problem.
It should be a hardware problem.

I think it is some kind of hardware problem, as I have the same screen freezing problem. For the last two days, my HD2 wouldn't respond to my touch at all. I reflashed my custom ROM, which was no help. Then flash to the newly updated ROM from Tmobile, but my HD2 still wouldn't respond. So I think the problem with unresponsive screen and freeze are somehow hardware related.
right, it seems to be a hardware issue
but i think try to use stock rom with the stock radio wont let you down hopefully
I have the same, but it seems to be the extended battery that caus it, so it maybe is a voltage prob.

[Q] Touchscreen semi-unresponsiveness?

I've looked around and a lot of people have fully unresponsive screens. However, mine is I guess semi-unresponsive?
I can perform all my functions fine, but when I try to power down my phone via power button. It pops up the power menu and then my screen becomes completely unresponsive. I can only use the hard buttons, but nothing on the screen works. When I press the power button again to go into standby, it'll work like normal and my screen works again, all until I try to go to the power menu again. Does anyone know what is wrong?
I forgot which HD2 I'm using, but I know I bought it in the June of it's release and I'm in the US.
My current ROM is HyperDroid-GBX-v12, but I don't think it's a ROM issue since the previous ROM I had was even worse, same problems, but unresponsive at the lock screen at times.
Thanks, and let me know if I can give any other info.
Has this been happening since you flashed the Rom or is this a new problem?
This has just started happening. I think it was present to a lesser extent before, but I am noticing a lot more recently. I flashed a new ROM because I thought it was my old ROM, but the problem isn't going away.
For a work around, download the quick boot app from the market and power your phone off that way.
What Rom are you running now btw?
My current ROM is HyperDroid-GBX-v12,
Thanks for the work around, but I'm really wondering what the problem is since it persists between ROMs. I'm thinking hardware, but then it's so specific that I'm not sure.
The only other think I can think of trying to wipe your phone via CWR by formatting data, boot, system, Sd-ext (if applies), cache, and Dalvik cache. I know you re-flashed your Rom already but did you do a full wipe prior? It could be data corruption from the previous Rom. Just trying to troubleshoot
I'm currently having touchscreen issues myself. At first I though mine was totally hosed but then I read on some thread if you press the power button hard it can revive the screen. It worked for me. I assume there must be some loose cable somewhere beneath the power button that's causing these issues. It's probably just a coincidence that it stops working when you hold it down and you are really having the same issue as me.
I did wipe everything, but now I think of it I think I forgot to format my SD card. I'll try it now thanks.
Nope, still doesn't work. I'm at a lost for what's wrong right now =\

Be careful about mashing the power button too hard. I already have broke one HD2 because the power button cracked.....

Sorry to hear this. Like I said earlier try using Quick boot. It won't fix your problem but at least your phone will still work. Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance....

So far as i know is that sometimes the phone just doesn't want to accept the new display and then you gotta perform a soft reset so that old data maybe also related to the display are getting removed and that the phone Might accept the part then. In most cases this works like that hope that it works by you too. if you cant see the window to type your pin then try to find a video or a image from the lockscreen and enter your pin. Maybe you can do it if you can blind remember how it looked like:good:

Press and hold Power Button (around 5 seconds).
Your device will now shut down and reboot.
Alternate Method; With your device turned off…
Press and hold Power Button until the LG Logo appears then release

I clicked the button for 5 seconds. It does nothing,
i have to go to TWRP Mode to do a software reset.
I tryed to fix that problem by charging my phone, Now its fully charged and the display doesnt work now.
How can i do a software reset without a working display?
Is there any method by usb and computer?

My soft buttons just suddenly stop working, can't seem to fix them.

What I have tried so far:
Restarting the phone.
Removing the battery.
clearing the cache.
factory resetting it.
using the *#2663# trick
(the phone's touch key FW is0x0e)
(the part's touch key FW is 0x00)
about to try:
flashing a fresh new base ROM.
I don't think this was a hardware problem because it just died when I was in the middle of using it. Any suggestions anyone?
Currently on an android 4.4.4
Anyone?
It sounds like you've tried everything that can be done software-wise. I think it's service centre time.

This.
If you already flashed a stock rom without getting them working, seems like a hardware problem for me. Flash a stock rom and take it to any Samsung Service Centre. Good luck with that!

I kind of don't think it is, because I just managed to press the back button and both the back and the recent apps button lit up and worked for a whole 2 seconds. they were still lit even when they stopped working, until I placed the phone to sleep.
And flashing it does not work (although I have that DM-verify problem)
P.S. this phone might be partially rooted, any way to fix that?

The fact that they intermittently work doesn't mean there isn't a hardware issue.
You should flash a stock ROM which will remove root and send it back to service.
Time for some on-screen buttons! ?
