Arc switching of by itself

Hi guys, I have been using my ARC for almost a month now.
Lately I noticed that the phone will switch off & then on again by itself.
Wonder if any ARC's users have the same problem?
Cheers mate!!
 
I am still experiencing this "Switch-off" problem by itself for no apparent reason whatsoever. I am sending my phone to SE Service Centre tomorrow & have them check it out as I have only bought it a month ago. I might as well share with you my experience so far with Android phones. I have used 4 Android phones including this ARC.
My 1st was the Google Nexus1, SE X10 Mini, HTC HD & now the ARC. It has come a long way in the way of Software updates & the Gingerbread 2.3.3 is by far the best. It has to be as it is the latest update. The editing & "copy & paste" still have a long way to go. IMHO is still not not user friendly enough. No doubt it has improved a lot but there are still room for improvement. Before I forget to mention about the battery life as well. It sucks & I presume most if not all Android phones are. Cheers mate!
 
Thank you for the feedback, it is always nice to hear from someone who has had experience with a variety of other Android handsets.
 
I HAD the same problem with my Xperia arc, so I ran some tests of my own since customer support showed no help. I realised the problem was with the battery or the part connecting the battery to the mobile.

To resolve the problem I just jammed the battery tightly up agents the part it needs to connect to using some folded up paper.

It's been several months since I did this and the problem has never occurred again.
I hope this works for you also.
 
I got my Arc on launch and of course was gadget-happy and installed a ton of apps. Then shortly after I started experiencing random reboots
 
i am having the same problem with my phone restarting from time to time. sometimes once a week and even 3 or 4 times a day. what is the problem and how should i resolve the issue? any help is appreciated, thank you.
