Ya it works great now. I'm running vaelpac 3.2 rc1 now and its great fast smooth great battery and love all the tweaking. Sprint said sometime it can go so dead it has to have a wall charger maybe that was it. I was using usb in my car and computer. Thank u all for the help.

I can't get my phone on. It vibrates 1 time after i press the power-button.

What to do know.. Could I bring the device back to the store or does the rooted-thingy i've done voids the warranty?
[Xperia Play General] zerojay:
Typically, rooting voids your warantee.
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
Dont tell them you rooted your device, especially if your only dealing with a network provider, just tell them u ran the ota and it bricked your phone :)
[Xperia Play General] waz000000:
Rooting voids the software not the hardware.

Tell them " I dunno what happened it doest work anymore"

simple as that.
[Xperia Play General] waz000000:
Did you unlock the bootloader btw or root with just gingerbreak?
[Xperia Play General] lstreet:
Yeah I have only rooted the device with ginger break 1.1 ..... Is it safe to ota update or do I need to unlock the bootloader first? Has anyone updated yet ? Whens a custom Rom comming with stock gingerbread an any news on ice cream sandwitch. Ps I really hate the stock keyboard its so bad at predicting words any advice on a better keyboard can one be burnt to a custom Rom so its the stock keyboard ?....
[Xperia Play General] waz000000:
well i picked up my new one yesterday, rooted with gingerbreak and then did an OTA I had no problems, I think it's only if you have a modified bootloader that causes issue's.

Personally Im not unlocking this bootloader until custom roms start appearing like Cynogen.
[Xperia Play General] axiomjunglist:
Good to know. I get my brand new play on Monday and the first thing I plan to do is root with gingerbreak so I can make a backup. Was hoping OTA wouldn't hose everything right after.
[Xperia Play General] issam85:
I unlocked the bootloader..

I just brought the Phone back to the T-mobile shop. They told me i had to wait 2 weeks while they will send the phone back to SE and receive it back.
[Xperia Play General] waz000000:
How long have you had it for? if your UK and it's 28 days or less they have to exchange it.
[Xperia Play General] issam85:
I'm from NL and I have the phone for like 2 weeks now :(

SE sent me a report:

1: Your repair request has been submitted

2: Repair is in progress

I will be screwed if they found out I rooted my phone...
[Xperia Play General] issam85:
Yessss Yessss, They have fixed my bricked phone.

They knew it was rooted but it wasnt an issue.

I thank Sony Ericsson for their great great support...!
[Xperia Play General] sdlaurin:
Can you explain the process?
[Xperia Play General] soudara:
hi hissam

hi im very happy for you but have you got fasboot again ?
[Xperia Play General] issam85:
Pfff i just received my phone. Someone from TNT brought it.

When I opened the package I was still smiling. I read the letter which was sent with the package and it said: "dear Issam, we are sorry that we couldn't fix your Phone.".

I will go to the T-mobile shop later this day. SE didnt say my phone was rooted or something. So T-mobile should give me a new phone!!

I'll let you know...

[Xperia Play General] chabbe11:
Report to us. What happened next?
[Xperia Play General] issam85:
SE sent me my phone back. They said the phone is irreparable.

Yesterday I went back to T-mobile and they found it weird, normally SE would exchange an irreparable phone for a new one.

T-mobile will contact me in 5 days, they want to investigate this.

So I think i'm screwed :(
[Xperia Play General] kenshindono:
No you are not!

Be forcefull if they said u did something like modifying the phone !

just tell them that you installed apps from the market and the phone now is dead!

Don't let them steal you!
[Xperia Play General] issam85:
Ok Finally,

T-Mobile called me today. They told me they will exchange it for another phone.

I told them that I had bad experiences with the play and I rather wanted a different Phone.

I choose the Samsung Galaxy S ll,

Is it a good choice?
[Xperia Play General] FK1983:
Oh yes! best phone out right now :)
[Xperia Play General] ncaissie:
I don't know about the G S II but I think the Play is the best phone going if you are a gamer. Why did you choose the play in the first place?
[Xperia Play General] WelshPaul:
I love my play and wouldn't swap it for anything else out there, well just yet anyway. :D

One thing i do not get is that people root their Android phones just day's or sometimes hours after getting them knowing damn well that it voids any warranty and should anything happen to it through no fault of their own that they are stuffed and then when something goes wrong and they need to make a claim they throw their toys out of the pram because their claim gets denied! :confused:
[Xperia Play General] chabbe11:
Congrats issam. But I'd still select the Play and not the Galaxy...

Now I don't own a Play and can't tell you what to do but that's what I would do. BTW. I'm going to buy it soon :)
[Xperia Play General] :
I love my android. I think the play isn't the greatest android in general, simply because atm there no custom roms, although that may change. But for a gaming phone there simply is no other choice.
[Xperia Play General] dsswoosh:
UK laws go much further than this.

Sale of Goods and Services Act with all electrical products covers you for as much as up to 5 years.

I do not know exact details anymore but it goes something like this -

- First 28 days, a customer can demand a full refund, providing they return the faulty good in the same condition as when they bought it (except for the fault ofc)

- First 3 years, the customer can demand that the product be repaired or replaced with a similar new product after the product develops a fault

- First 5 years the customer can expect a repair or replacement of a faulty electrical product at the companies discretion.

This is why i NEVER purchase extra warranty with any electrical product. Warranties have the only advantage that the retailer will handle and resolve all problems.

Why get the retailer involced though? Go straight to the Manufacturer, with the law under your arm and save yourself the warranty purchase.

Anybody who buys an electrical warranty in the UK are severely stupid :)
[Xperia Play General] sidneylopsides:
Not quite right. The law allows you to make a warranty claim up to 6 years from purchase, as long as it can be proved the fault occurred under warranty. Also, it specifically excludes wear and tear, which is the moat likely cause of problems after that length of time.

Any modification will automatically void the warranty.
[Xperia Play General] dsswoosh:
Warrenties have nothing to do with the Sale of Goods Act.

Warranties are sold by retailers in an effort to make more money. Warranties are contracts between the seller and the purchaser. Not with the Manufacturer and the purchaser (unless it is the manufacturer that is offering the warrenty ofc).

The law and warranties are seperate entities.

I found a useful link from Watchdog that shows you how to write a letter to make a claim on a faulty electrical good.

One letter is for products less than 6 months old.

The other letter is for products more than 6 months old but within 6 years old.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/theoneshow/consumer/2009/07/03/sale_of_goods_act_letter_downl.html

Basically it goes like this -

Any electrical good that stops working within 6 months, even from wear and tear is deemed to be sold as not fit for purpose. And the purchaser can demand a refund/repair/replacement.

Any faulty product bought more than 6 months ago, the purchaser has a legal opportunity to make a claim within 6 years for a refund/repair/replacement.

Interestingly, the law says it is the sellers responsibility, not the manufacturers to sort the problem out.

This is something new i have learnt.

Although i would still be prone to going back to the manufacturere. I had an LG monitor that developed a series of dead pixels after 4 years of (heavy) usage.

I contacted LG and they had it replaced for me within 2 weeks.

I think most manufacturers would not want to get into legal battles, especially when the law strongly sides with the purchaser, and considering they have everything to hand coming straight out of their factory line, they would rather repair or replace without any arguments.

Retailers/Sellers have alot more to lose than the manufacturer. They have the lost profits from the initial sale / hte lost profits from a new device / the costs of repair if they do it themselves / the cost of the time to talk and post to the manufacturers.

Basically, warranties are useless. Never buy one :)
[Xperia Play General] sidneylopsides:
I was talking about the manufacturers warranty, not extended ones sorry.

The contract is between the seller and customer, the seller has its own contract with the manufacturer.

Under 6 months it is assumed defective, and its down to the seller to prove otherwise (they have a right to inspect, so that's why they do repairs) after 6 months its actually up to the customer to prove a it's a fault, but the manufacturers warranty supplied will cover their own inspection on their behalf. If the customer refuses, they would have to pay for a qualified engineer to inspect it.

The customer can request repair/refund/replacement if fault is found, but the seller can still review which is best, ie if a requested repair costs more than a replacement, or there are none left to replace with.

In some cases customers demand a replacement when that wouldn't solve the problem, (c905 ribbon cable issue comes to mind, replacing didn't work, repair replaced the cable).
[Xperia Play General] dsswoosh:
Yea. It's not even the manufacturers warranty though.

It's simply the law that they are legally obliged to abide too.
[Xperia Play General] ncaissie:
What is OTA anyway? I don't want to brick my phone.
[Xperia Play General] Mozza2k11:
OTA = Over The Air. Just the same as using SEUS but through your phone and wifi. If your bootloader is locked OTA wont brick your phone.
[Xperia Play General] chabbe11:
Over the air

Which means that you use a function in the phone to update it over the air, instead of plugging it in the computer and updating it that way.
[Xperia Play General] ncaissie:
Ok thanks. mine is locked but that is the way I check for updates.

I'll be sure to use a PC.
[General Questions and Answers] tego19:
Hi,

I'm trying to create a single cab file that includes various actions, one of which is changing the today theme. I'm doing this with the use of WinCE Cab Manager by copying the today theme along with its two tdytoday & sdtoday gif's to \Windows then changing the registry to point to the new theme.

All of this works perfectly for me, expect, if I try installing the cab file while my GPRS/3G data connection is open, the installation takes an extra 2 minutes to install. ie: The theme changes ok but the process takes 2 minutes longer.

My question is this: How can I modify my cab file to either force the device into flight mode or better still, cancel the data connection during the install?

Please note that I have no programming experience so the use of setup.dll is unfortunately out of the question for me. I hope I can utilise some kind of registry change or pre xml provisioning via WinCE Cab manager to sort the issue.

I know I could easily stop the data connection first but would like to include this all into the cab file

Any help would be appreciated.. Many thanks Neil

I have my cpu settings on 245 245 powersave when the screen is off, yet I'm still getting horrible battery. I use my phone extremely lightly, maybe once in a while to listen to music. Check my emails, chat every so often. I use to get 48 hours with light usage. Seems I cant figure what is causing my battery to drain. I have a craigslist app, I had one search enabled so I deleted that to see how much it will effect. Does google talk drain that much? In the past it was fine. My usage shows the 2 main ones are cell standby and phone idle. Any tips on finding out what exactly is draining my battery? Im running CM 7.0.2??, latest stable, forgot. Koni's was the same. I thought maybe sense drained the battery, but it doesnt seem to be the problem.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HipKat:
Click the link in my sig and run that battery conditioning routine for one. What kernel are you using?

And dump SetCPU. Useless app, seriously...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
1. Update to the latest stable version...7.0.3.1 released this morning.

2. Google talk could be draining, but I've never used it

3. Perhaps install it under a clean install and see if that helps.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lambofgod13:
Get tge system panel app. It'll show you what apps and everything that's eating your battery. Does the kernal your on perflock unlocked for over /under clocking cause if it isn't setcpu doesn't work.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wmstwo002:
+1 SetCPU is great for Sense ROMs, but not necessary for CM based ROMs.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
looks to me like you were in pretty crappy coverage. that makes the phone work hard. it's justifiable that you'll have a lot of battery drain then, even while sleeping.

you can greatly reduce this by:

1: upgrade to newest cm7

2: flash a custom kernel. may i reccomend tiamat 4.0.1?

3: put your governer on smartass, and uninstall setcpu. smartass does it better.

4: use a bsm from viperboy. they decrease voltages. work almost too well.

5: USE JUICEDEFENDER! this will save a ton of battery in low coverage, because it turns off 3g when screen is off. this still lets you get calls and texts, but with mobile data off, your battery will last much longer while sleeping.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sirmx:
The only way to do this would be to compile the kernel your self from the CM7 kernel source code and include the SBC code.

I'd rate it as rather difficult to do if you aren't familiar with Linux or compiling software from it's source code. Of course, you could ask someone else to do it, but most kernel devs are already busy with their own work.
