Buddy It is sad to see you facing problem with your device. Can you tell exactly what's your problem. What I understand from your post is whenever you remove your battery and plug it back your mobile is not turning on. You have to keep it off for 1 day before you can turn it on successfully. Is that what you are trying to say buddy?

I was using official rom not rooted one till yesterday.
I installed ICS yesterday guessing that it would solve the problem but the problem remains same & it became worst than ever before.
I am going to install the original firmware once again but I am not getting the proper link to download it. Could you please just give me the link to download ginger bread 2.3.6 for the Saudi Arabian Region?
& I think there must be a problem in boot sector. Whenever I remove the battery and plug it back to it, it takes time to turn it on at least 10 to 24 hours.
One more thing my laptop is detecting the mobile even my mobile is turn off.

Uhm, try fixing permissions from the recovery mode. And if youre using a custom rom, what is it?

actually i am using stock ics 4.0.4 rom and i dont want to root my second mobile phone .. so is there any other way to solve this problem.. when it happens a single reboot solve this problem but i dont understand whats the problem.
Sent from my Micromax A110 using xda app-developers app

Oh, i see. Uhm, try updating your rom to the official JB rom. I know that there is a rom that is not rooted when you flash it to your device. They are in the Developments section. Try that and see the results.

Right now my phone has been on for 148 hours and 37 minutes or just little over 6 days. On 4.2.2 and no bugs whatsoever. You do know difference between a bug (something many or all phones are affected with) and just plain user error (what you have been experiencing) ?

there is a restart bug,, problem whatever u guys wanna call it..me and my cousin have xperia l and both of them c2105 and since we updated them to 4.2.2 they started to restart out of sudden..but i noticed that mine restarts when i plug the headphones,,and the phones were on locked bootleader and no root..but then as i sayed i unlocked it and tried other kernels but didn't get rid of this problem till i downgraded to 4.1.2..!

This is the first time we hear about that "bug" here on this forum.

I think that i once read about this problem..

Hey..redzo..r u on the latest 4.2.2? If yes..r u having any bugs other than the sensor light?
Sent from my C2105 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

So only you have this "bug" cause i've never hear about this on xda or fb group.
I think you just modify something and it's causes reboots because 4.2.2 is reboot - free. Reboots happened only when somebody have no ideas about he did with his phone I mean when somebody modify lot of stuff and it stop work properly. Maybe some app maybe Xposed or something. Or your XL is just damaged.
It's just trolling, complaining or what?
Tapatap!

No i'm not trolling or any thing..but if it seems to be i'm the only one who have this problem..it could be becuz i didnt do factory reset?..i don't know..maybe..btw..mad props to u fellow gooner
Sent from my C2105 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

it may be. From authopshy i know that not doing full wipe (factory reset in this case - its the same just different names) can cause a lot of unexcepted bugs. i have this phone for a while and i had only 2 restarts on it but one was for sure cuz of my fault ^^ and the second one was propably coz i had very low battery level, so it may be like you said.

I had the same problem with rebooting , but i get rid off this by simply reflashing firmware, so in my opinion it isnt related to firmware version

Thank u guys for ur help..and leos..finally somebody know what im talkin abt lool..so it was kinda my problem..it's ok..thnx again guys

I was like.."Is the OP serious?" after seeing the thread title. 4.2.2 might have some bugs, but also do look at the positive side of it..

Also in 4.2.2 Osu! game is freezing and lagging. No problems in 4.1.
Anyone know what could be the problem?

check in settings -> applications -> internal memory if the app is flagged.
If so, uncheck it and move it to phone's memory.

It's not the phone that we are blaming..the phone hardware is incredible regarding his price but i think the old firmware is more stable..i also played zombie frontier 2 and the multitouch is more smooth on the 4.1.2..but to be honest i didnt try the new 4.2.2 update

I recommend you to take your Xperia L to service centre,
I'm afraid that is a hardware problem, but let's hope I'm wrong..
But if you tried to repair your phone software with SUS or PCC or both and still haven't got any luck, then if you go to service centre and they say they will repair the software of your phone, and they say with ' their own software ', and they say " all your data will be lost ", don't do that, that thing happened to me before, when my Xperia L have an 'always restarting' bug a year ago, they said like that, and my phone is still restarting all of the time which makes my heart hurt, because all my data are lost...
