You can easily perform the interaction with our program Sony PC Companion, availalbe for download from the link below

I am having the same problem. Updated My Arc S to Android 4 and now I get those errors like "Sim-card has been removed" and then the phone closes down and starts up again.

I also did the software repair but still have the issue.

I experienced this issue when:

- in the middle of a conversation. Suddenly got disconnected!!;

- when listening to music;

- in the middle of a Parkmobile action;

- unplugging my earphones.

It drives my crazy and sincerely regret that I updated to this "much better"Android 4 version.

Please advise a.s.a.p. how to solve this issue.

I WAS a happy Sony-Ericsson user. Like to become it again !!!

I disagree, I can say the same thing about your comment that it's useless, not to mention against forum rules

Well, I don't see what your solution brings me (or it is my lack of knowledge).

Isn't my simcard linked to my phone-number ? I have a contract on this phone-number.

So buying a new simcard means change my number, right ? Why would I do that.

I don't think the Simcard is the issue. It is just a strange message which only came up after updating to the Android 4

And I also don't think I go against forum rules.

So please explain me why your solution would work ...

Thanks.

you can get a brand new SIM card w/ your network your number won't change at all. SIM cards stop working all the time, and the older they are the more issues you will get. most of the time is the SIM card issue.

OK. good to know. Learned something.

Still quite a big coincidence it appeared right after the android update.

Let's hope it is the simcard than and not the Adroid 4 version who is causing the issues.

Thanks.

I am also facing same problem. I have Sony Ericsson Arc S LT18i model.

Recently for first time I switched on bluetooth and it went into boot-start loop (Only can see Sony and Xperia on screen). How can I go into my phone now.

It contain important contacts which i need desperately. Any suggestions to go into recovery mode and close bluetooth.

I am ok not to use bluetooth in future but desperately want my phone to turn ON.

Any help will be highly appreciated.
