Hey all,

I just connected my Play to my PC and its saying there is a software update ready to be installed to the phone, how do you find the change log or details of what is in the update? I can't find any information about it!?

My Play is rooted, what do I do?

Thanks :)
[Xperia Play General] waz000000:
depends on the method you used, if it was gingerbrick carry on, if youve unlocked your bootloader leave it alone, run away, duck and cover!
[Xperia Play General] dsswoosh:
Yep as Waz said.

Don't update it if you've rooted your phone. Possible brick scenario.

Wait for the geniuses to release some custom roms instead.
[Xperia Play General] FK1983:
I used gingerbreak, so is it safe to update via SE update? do I lose my root? do I just run gingerbreak again after updating?

And finally, what about my apps and saved data etc? do they get deleted with an update?
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
Yes, Yes, Yes and Yes (in that order) :D
[Xperia Play General] CasualByron:
Updated

Ok guys ive just updated and yes it did Unroot the device. took about 10mins to switch on the phone after the update!

Just ran GingerBreak again and everything is fine. also nothing was deleted in the process.

Updating does Re-Install all the crap i had initially deleted Eg Sims,Twitter,Chinese keyboard etc

Just trying to see whats new Will post back with any info
[Xperia Play General] FK1983:
Any changes/fixes? :)
[Xperia Play General] NielDK:
Could you perhaps find the blob folder, zip the files, probably 3 files, and upload the zip? Then we can create ftf file for flashtool, for others that unlocked bootloader
[Xperia Play General] waz000000:
there would be no point mate, it's the same as mine already.

His update is the one we have anyway :)
[Xperia Play General] FK1983:
Ok, updated and no difference at all that I can see, still bugs lol :(
[Xperia Play General] jlukek89:
Can you check if the update brought HD recording?
[Xperia Play General] Deblow:
No its still 800x480 SD :(
[HTC Inspire 4G] P00t:
So I reflashed my phone + full wipe. I synced my phone with my Google accounts, HTC sense, and Facebook. While it was syncing, it started to auto download the apps I had before.

I was wondering how it did that? Because other times I tried it, that never hhappened. Was it from something else? It made it so much easier for me to get my apps back I had before. I don't like searching.

So can anyone confirm what backed up my apps??

Thanks!
[HTC Inspire 4G] MtGoat:
When you signed up with the google account, it ask you if you want your phone backed up by google. All you had to do was not uncheck the check box to agree.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ki4vqk:
FYI, if you flash ROM's a lot it doesn't always restore your apps, so use screenshot to take a picture and store them prior to flashing to remember what you had so your not searching in the future.
[Touch GSM General] anupam_aug15:
Hi

Recently I got a 256 K SIM for elf. But it keeps searching the network and doesnot lock onto that network with 256K Sim. Help me
[Touch GSM General] tito12:
Did it work with another sim? If this is the case obviously you have to ask your provider, if not try updating your radio software.
[Touch GSM General] anupam_aug15:
dear friend

I am already using latest onyx ROM. it works on same network with 32 K SIM but doesnt accept 256K Sim. Plz help
[Touch GSM General] tito12:
As I said, update your radio firmware and if this doesn't work, contact your provider.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nhartse1:
Is it just me or does that crap just tank out like nobody's business? I cannot hold that last 15% for more than 30 minutes.

Edited: I cannot hold that last 15% for what seems like more the an hour or two tops...
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] necosino:
I think the phone actually shuts down at 5-7%, so losing 8-10% in 1-2 hours actually isn't that bad..
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nhartse1:
Mine is reading 3% right now. When I started the thread I was at 14% so it looks like my timing was off... by a lot :/
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] necosino:
Do you use set CPU? I have mine set to the absolute minimum clock available below 15%, and CM7 sets the screen to time out faster, brightness to 30%, etc. to conserver power. Perhaps that would be an option for you?
[myTouch 4G General] mark manning:
Well everybody should be excited to hear that android 3.1 is upon us.

The next version of Google's Android operating system, codenamed Ice Cream Sandwich, will converge the formerly disparate phone and tablet versions of the OS, Google announced at its I/O keynote today. Ice Cream Sandwich will maintain a single UI across all form factors and will allow developers to create applications for both kinds of devices in one motion. It will follow the rollout of Android 3.1 to the Motorola Xoom tablet and Google TV.

Google says the Ice Cream Sandwich version of Android will "all be open source," including APIs for face-tracking and other new features. Developers will be able to account for all form factors within this same version of the OS, and Google will be adding a lot of UIs to accommodate Android devices of all shapes and sizes.

The announcement of Ice Cream Sandwich followed news of Android 3.1, which carries desirable features like resizable widgets in the application launcher. Android 3.1's trip over to Google TV will also carry with it the Android Marketplace and the usability of USB devices. At the keynote, Hugo Barra, director of Android product management, demoed the use of an XBox 360 controller with an Android game.

No official launch date has yet been announced for Ice Cream Sandwich, but Android 3.1 will be available to compatible devices as of today.

Oh ya one more thing, T-Mobile, AT&T and Verizon announced that it will be updating all devices to the new version of android until their 18 month birthday. So yes the mytouch will get Ice Cream Sandwich!!!!!!!!
[myTouch 4G General] Don_Perrignon:
:rolleyes:Ice cream sandwich...:p
[myTouch 4G General] domynaite:
You mean untill the devices 18 month birthday? Hope so.
[myTouch 4G General] vabeach454:
WoW... That is Great News!! I want an ice cream sandwich!! :p
[myTouch 4G General] Ace42:
I wonder how ice cream mysense will look or if it will resemble the doubleshot instead w/ 3d ui.
[myTouch 4G General] oquinones:
Actually the keynote said that new devices from here on out would be supported for 18 months... but Ice Cream Sandwhich CM would probably work on our phones. :D
[myTouch 4G General] aferstilo:
Cant wait :D
[myTouch 4G General] Ace42:
So this device came out around novemeberish so we'll stop seeing "official" support around mid 2012ish. Well that's good to know at least, not really worried since we have XDA for the roms and other things.
[myTouch 4G General] HydroROMs:
Ice cream sandwich will have hardware exceleration right? Correct me if I'm wrong!
[myTouch 4G General] itsomaryo:
cant wait this is gunna be so dope
[myTouch 4G General] kryptik06:
Looks interesting
[myTouch 4G General] ckisgen:
rest assured, as soon as a leak for any device becomes available, you guys will have a nice pretty version of this for your Glaciers in no time flat ... :D
[myTouch 4G General] geoffreywolter:
Unfortunately, as I believe someone else has already mentioned that is for devices moving forward and I would imagine will not apply to our phones. They have not even really set any guidelines as to how they will even go about ensuring updates for devices, it's just a group of carriers and device manufacturers that have said they will attempt to follow through on this promise. I'm hopeful, but there is still the same issue of custom UIs, which require the manufacturer / carrier to update their code, and I think we all know how well that has worked out so far.
[myTouch 4G General] ckisgen:
that's why we have the development forum :D we've all been enjoying a better iteration of gingerbread than tmobile/HTC/whoever could ever throw at us for 6 months or more
[myTouch 4G General] AndrewAD3:
Ice Cream Sandwich looks promising!
[myTouch 4G General] gd6noob:
i think they should just drop the sandwich and call it Ice Cream!

though i do love ice cream sandwich..
[myTouch 4G General] geoffreywolter:

Yessss honeycomb for phones I doubt it will be official for this.phone since google recommends dual core for honeycomb, and this is pretty much honeycomb, but better

[myTouch 4G General] Drzfr3shboialex:
they said if the hardware supports it, and goohle strongly recommends dual core for honeycomb
[myTouch 4G General] cmdalhoefer:
This excites me!!!
[myTouch 4G General] _ice_:
ice cream sandwich is optimized for 1 ghz single stock clocked cpu/ 768 mb of ram? LETS GO! I love android <3 <3 <3

oh and ummm sense 3.0 lags a bit on stock frequency with out faux's kernel it would have been a hoe to run sense 3.0

I wonder how smooth ice cream sandwich with my sense x.x would be :)
[myTouch 4G General] 2leaponover1:
Eh, not really excited about this. Every update i've gotten excited for has only been a minimable step up. Froyo was good because of the speed it provided but nothing groundbreaking, gingerbread just had a few aesthetic improvements but nothing groundbreaking either. I may be wrong but I've expected a lot more at this point. Still no peripherals for phones like iphone offers... Still no google music... Google tv being ****ty... I know i'm a tough critic, but i'm gonna just sit back and be patient and not get worked up because i'm tired of let downs. You would think that with their immeasurable financial resources they could run straight through any complications and get this stuff done fast. They should have ignored this Chrome OS bull**** and stayed in the smartphone/tablet market. NEtbooks suck ass.
[myTouch 4G General] Ace42:
It's true though, ginger didn't change much and froyo was the biggest step up from eclair, offering jit. I hope ice cream is much faster and offers more features.

[myTouch 4G General] mingkee:
Huh?????

Isn't 3.1 Honeycomb?
[myTouch 4G General] mark manning:
Umm... ya, did you actually read what you just quoted?
[myTouch 4G General] Joker Fuel:
Lol, I think he needs the short version..

3.1 is honey comb.

Recent info is ice cream sandwich will be 3.4 and is scheduled for release Q4 this year and will be a fusion of tablet and phone android and said to work on both types
[myTouch 4G General] tradejak66:
Lol, I suppose you had good intentions but that was a HUGE bump for a thread made before July 2011. Every or atleast most people know on this forum that ICS is android 4.0. The fact that a rom is out is even further proof :) Search before posting
[myTouch 4G General] duele:
Soooo excited!! Can't wait till official comes out.
[myTouch 4G General] cuiltheory:
Along with other tough critics, I don't see HTC and T-Mobile going through the trouble of shipping out sd cards, or doing an OTA, much less hiring programmers, or pulling current programmers off of other projects for a device they need not *push* on the masses anymore. Maybe I am wrong, but I see ICS as a selling point, and these devices are pushing 18 months as it is; and with the MT4G Slide, Amaze and the Ville, looks like ICS just won't be a priority.

I would love a stock build, with everything working, because even on Virtuous Affinity, I notice issues that the unmodified firmware doesn't have. I don't mean to take anything away from the developers, as I am currently learning the ropes myself, but although we are operating open source driven devices, Google has unlimited funds to throw at a good build, while we rely on volunteers in a rough economy.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BeauGiles:
I get the same thing here after upgrading to Gingerbread (Overcome) - I used MarketEnabler to download it from the Market; happily running under Overcome 1.6.x (Froyo) but after Gingerbread all it does is force close upon running.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flokey:
Yeah Google Music crashes each time since the Gingerbread update... Overcome and Stock too :(
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avihel:
Here too

Euro tab GSM, running GB overcome 2.0 beta 2
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flokey:
I pinned down the crashes to two reasons:

Obviously Samsung built our 2.3.3 on rather outdated code and modified some pieces of the mediaprovider...

Usually, the Stock-Music apk allows access to the MediaPlayBackService and Google temporarily revoked access in 2.3.3, so Samsung thought it would be a great opportunity to **** around with the existing code and Changed some things in the Stock MediaProvider-Service thingy

That's the major reason why the Google Music Beta crashes in 2.3.3 but works great in 2.2

So it is not a "Google Thing", it is a "Samsung Thing" and Samsung would have to fix that.. We all know that this won't be likely to happen, so there are two possibilities I see here... We fix it ourselves or someone clever ports the MediaProvider including access to the MediaPlayBackService from the current CyanogenMod 7.something builds to the Galaxy tab. I tried and failed as the modules crashed on boot and I had to reflash the whole system

Anyone interested in getting that done? I'd do it, but I've too little time at the moment to get it done properly :-/ it shouldn't be that hard anyways, I guess...

[Atrix 4G General] LordOfTheSnatch:
Google and Motorola and AT&T have partnered to bring quick and latest updates to the Atrix for 18 months past release date! That means we'll be getting all os updates between now Sept. 2012!
[Atrix 4G General] pederb:
In 18 months this phone is going to hopelessly old and outdated, no matter what software the release.

And I think that statement refereed to new phones.
[Atrix 4G General] Jiggah:
There's another thread talking about this already. The answer is that it's not guaranteed. This only applies to NEW devices being released. Since the Atrix was release a couple of months back, this doesn't apply.
[Atrix 4G General] LordOfTheSnatch:
In 18 months it will be running the same version as brand new devices released during that time.
[Atrix 4G General] WiredPirate:
NOT TRUE! Watch it again, he said "..all new phones..". I would assume that means from today on out. They also used the words "hardware has to allow the update". So speculate all you want but dont post incorrect statements like they are fact.

Here's an updated Engadget article. If you notice they specifically mention that this applies to new devices only. There's no guarantee ICS for the Atrix, unless Moto comes out and says it. Anyway, more clarification on this subject would be great.

Theres no reason to worry if we get it or not. If we do then great. But why are we worrying about this when we havnt even gotten gingerbread. I'll be happy with a dual core friendly OS. By the time ICS is ready we will all be upgrading or upgraded already.
[Atrix 4G General] irus:
I think 18 months is when we are going to get the update ;)
[Atrix 4G General] lsxrx7:
to 2.3 :confused: :(
[Atrix 4G General] LordOfTheSnatch:
I'd be willing to bet 2.3 hits early to mid June. Not known fact but given the quickness they've already released updates for the Atrix, they really have little reason to hold out on this.
[Atrix 4G General] Tylerjd:
Would you be referring to 2.3 Gingerbread or ICS? Although google never gave ICS an official number (AFAIK), for all we know it'll be 2.3.X. If your referring to Gingerbread, that would make sense, in theory, but as Moto got Honeycomb early, for all we know they could have gotten ICS before Google oficially announced it and they could be putting the final touches on it right now. But that is all hopeful speculation.

More likely than not we'll get ICS around July to August.

Just my 2 cents.

I think Atrix does fit the bill. When the SGS2 arrives on ATT ...that would be a "new" release. Does that mean GS2's hardware is that much newer than the Atrix? If the SGS2 gets these updates...I'm sure the Atrix will too...
[Atrix 4G General] Made2Last:
I wouldn't get too excited. They don't even know how they are going to accomplish this yet. It's nice to see an effort from carriers and Google, but this is just something they threw together to present at I/O. There are no details.
[Atrix 4G General] Tylerjd:
I need to amend what I said earlier. I have done a bit more research and have come to find ICS slated for Q4 so about then we should get ICS (October maybe? A birthday preasent for me? :D). We *may* see GB in th July/August mark.

Sent from my screaming Atrix *4G* using the XDA App
[Atrix 4G General] rjayflo:
Atrix hardware will clearly support it. There will be newer phones released in the next 6 months...and pretty sure the hardware won't be better than the Atrix. How many dual cores are on the market now? Moto set the bar with Atrix...upcoming phones are trying to match it or make it look "better" by overlooking their chips
[Atrix 4G General] cheetah2k:
Quad core Tegra III's going to be out before we see ICS on the Atrix, and maybe GB the way things are going. The problem Motorola has, is that they neglect to give priority to flagship products, leaving them and users out in the cold.

It probably also comes down to the fact that their best selling products get priority instead, which accounts for the Droid X getting 2.3 before the Atrix too.

I think the only way I'm going to get Gingerbread this year, is to downgrade to the Nexus S (which is so cheap here in Aus), or pick up a Galaxy S II when local stock hits Aus in June..... :(
[Atrix 4G General] Jotokun:
Motorola only got Honeycomb early because they had the flagship Honeycomb device.

That said, I'd be supprised if this deal didnt refer to older hardware as well. I'd expect we'd see Gingerbread in June/July, and ICS shortly after its release on the Nexus phones.
