Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc (LT15i) keeps on restarting itself (reboot loop)

Hi, greetings!

can anyone help me? I've been having this continous and annoying reboot loop problem since yesterday in my Xperia Arc. It started when the phone started to lagg a bit then i tried removing the battery from the case, tried turning it on after a few minutes then this reboot loop started to occur. Since then it hasn't made a single successful boot. Tried connecting it to a PC to try and solving it using a PC companion but the app can't recognize the device due to consistent reboot looping. I tried removing the SD card and/or the SIM as it might cause the problem, I aslo tried inserting a small bit of paper as everyone suggests online inside the battery case, still no luck. .any ideas?

P.S.

I tried browsing for some ideas for repair in these forums but the processes kinda confuses me. I just need a clean and easy repair ASAP. Thanks guys!

that's odd, it could be an app acting up

remove any of the following apps, you don't need them

taskillers

task managers

antivirus

ram apps

booster apps

battery apps

also which android version and build number do you have?

thanks again! big help mate!

i have an android version of 4.0 ICS I upgraded it last year. do you think I need to downgrade my android? That would s*ck bigtime 😕

Build #: 4.1.B.0.431

I don't have that issue with my Xperia Arc, or at least I didn't, I did downgrade it to GB as its a lot faster
