Reception for me is terrible. Used to be a lot better on my crappy old samsung gravity.

Drops to zero bars constantly, and often says no service when inside the house.

My wifi stops working the second I'm out the front door too. Wifi works fine across the street for all my other devices, including a laptop and a samsung captivate.

This leads me to believe the radio transmitter is a defective design. I'll be calling my provider tomorrow.

Edit: wifi doesn't work now at all.

The phone's wifi icon shows it as connected, but theres no transfer of data, router doesn't see the device as logged in.

Some google searches have revealed this to be a common defect. I for one am not pleased.

Just holding the device lowers signal!!!!

I know that sounds like crap but in the instruction manual it says not to cover the back fo the phone as it affects the signal.

No two ways around it, the phone has issues. I have taken it to carphone warephone and shown them it going from 4 bars to 1/0 bars just buy holding it. As it is over 14 days I am screwed. Whats worse it tha that had stop selling the phone to new customers as it has so many issues.

If you look at your battery life, then click on it you get the graph which shows signal. On mine were it say awake / screen on. i.e. you are holding it, the colour goes from bright green to dull green in perfect unison. :(

I am currently on my 2nd phone, the first one had 5 different faults. I now have 4 batteries due having to use moxier mail as the stock mail is sh1t. unhappy times :(
[Xperia Play General] dsswoosh:
4 bars for me.

Cover the back with my hand.......yep still 4 bars.

If the phone was bad I would of had a **** load of problems too right?

Phone has worked perfect for me in the 2 months I have owned it.
[Xperia Play General] IntMD:
Just take it back.. Demand they fix it or give you a new one... Itll still be under warranty
[Xperia Play General] Johan-SonyXperiaSupport:
Hi guys!

I'm sorry to hear about your problems with Xperia PLAY.

I would suggest that you try some things before considering leaving it into your retailers for a check by a service technician.

Double check that the problem is not caused by an old SIM card. Old SIM's and new phones can sometimes cause troubles. So please try with a later SIM card if possible.

If that doesn't make any difference you could reinstall the phone software or update to Android 2.3.3 which is under launch right now. When the update becomes available for your device differs from market to market and is also depending on operator customization.

Just a warning, if you unlocked Bootloader ! using FOTA or SEUS very likely will result in a non-usable handset (bricked) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Xperia Play General] mamallica:
I did all that. Except the update. Actually I just realized its the network. All my frind have the problem. Rogers confirmed. Play has a nice reception. It was the network! Thanks for all ur help. :)
[Xperia Play General] ncaissie:
I was having trouble with that also.

I changed my router to 802.11G only. I have devices that do not support n so i went with G. it took a day or two but but it fixed it.

to get it working when it does that you have to disconnect and then reconnect.

Anyone plz help to activate google vmail or any other visual voicemail
[Samsung Mesmerize] bdemartino:
You just need to install google voice and log into your account, you can skip the set up of the voicemail part (for some reason it fails if you try it, but if you skip it, it works anyway) you can then check your voicemail or read the transcription within the google voice app
[Samsung Mesmerize] scarmon25:
K so I finally decided to try this out. Damnit why didn't I do this earlier. This is some pretty cool stuff. Only thing I found was when setting it up. For USCC it says to dial *71and you GV number but it seems it is *74 then your GV number. *74 starts the forwarding and *740 stops. At least that's the info I found and so far it seems to be working.

Tap-a-Talked
[Samsung Mesmerize] i4get75:
Yeah, on USC if you do *71(your 10 digit GV#) it will forward all calls to GV. If you did that by mistake you can dial *710 to cancel and then do the *74(your 10 digit GV#). This forwards calls if you don't answer to your GV number.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Deadpool14:
Did this work for you? I've been trying to get google voice setup but it never went through correctly. And the US Cellular techs said that they don't support Google Voice.
[Samsung Mesmerize] i4get75:
Yup! Been using it for over a year now. Works great.
[Samsung Mesmerize] jihuie:
I've also been using it for quite awhile now & it works great. Just try again by following all the steps in setup & don't concern yourself with what US Cellular techs may say. It does work! :D
[Samsung Mesmerize] i4get75:
The steps in the setup will forward all calls to your GV number....don't do the setup. Just dial *74(your 10 doherty GV number).
[Samsung Mesmerize] dwhitehead:
For some USCC folks, it's *92(gv num) and *920 to clear. Just in case *74 doesn't work (it didn't for me).

SGS gets disconnected while upgrading to GB via kies.I have the latest vesion of kies ,iam on windows 7 home.It gets diconnected after "preparing for firmware upgrade...dont disconnect device from pc"...after sometime I get a message saying"lost connection to the devicel"...pls advice
[Galaxy S I9000 General] uv.mrcool:
have u checked the usb port ????

does it connect in mass storage mode properly ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] a_badam:
yes it connects as mass storage fine
[Galaxy S I9000 General] uv.mrcool:
restart ur pc and then try again...

if it doesnt help , uninstall and reinstall kies again... :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] pingling:
Try to disable any firewalls/anti-viruses etc. as they may block communication on some ports etc. If it doesn't help then try to find someone with Windows XP... I've spent several hours trying to upgrade 2.2 to 2.2.1 with Kies 2 on Win7/64 (Kies 1 used to work well). I've given up and did it on XP. But only after disabling Outpost firewall - otherwise I had the same problem as you.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] greentorii:
all legit suggestions, but i'm afraid they aren't the issue.

try doing it on a machine running windows xp. 95% it'll work.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Tarun.bhandari:
Had the same problem. In fact Kies would recognise my phone and I could also backup my data except for phone numbers.

Finally took it to service centre who wiped and reinstalled Froyo. After that it smoothly updated to GB
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Vivasanti:
Kies is terrible to upgrade with, quite unreliable, try using odin and flashing that way?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nesx87:
Uninstall kies and install the latest version again
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Emexrulsier:
I'm getting this on a fresh install of kies. It connects fine then starts the download and at that point it disconnects the phone (yet phone still says connected).

edit might be related to windows 7 UAC, ill let you know.

edit2: Just tried running kies in compatibility XP and run as administrator and dint work.

Did a factory reset *2767*3855# then tried the update again (kies was still running with admin and compatibility) and the upgraded went on and completed. I noted though the device does actually disconnect before the upgrade but this time around the screen went black as opposed to before the factory reset where kies connected stayed on the phone display.

Anyways hope this helps 2 min later phone rebooted and GB was installed
[Galaxy S I9000 General] a_badam:
tried on xp on 2 diff machines got windows error both the time ,just before the upgrade was to start

reset factory settings still did not work.this time when the phone reconnects it detects upgrade again hence goes in a loop

went to samsung mobile center,they had no clue GB was out,they needed couple of days more

Tips:

-If you've been running a ROM for a few weeks and it seems like things are starting to slow down a bit, following these instructions to clear your caches may help.

1) First, let's clear app caches. Go to Settings > Applications > Manage applications. Click on each of your Third-party apps and select "Clear cache" if applicable. There are apps in the market that will do this for you, but it doesn't take long to do it manually unless you have a ton of apps.

2) Now let's clear system caches. Power off your phone.

3) With the phone powered off, hold both volume keys and the power button for about 10 seconds and then release. This should boot you into red CWM.

4) Go to "advanced" and select "Wipe Dalvik Cache".

5) Now go back and select "wipe cache partition".

6) Finally, select "reboot system now". The boot will take much longer than normal because your phone has to rebuild system caches. And that's it. Hopefully things will feel a little smoother and snappier again.

You got your links backwards. Wipe is no wipe and no wipe is wipe
[Samsung Infuse 4G] gtg465x:
If you follow my instructions you won't have a problem.

How is installing another ROM first easier than my instructions lol? If your method does work, then you should be able to skip step 1 anyways.

Don't see why it wouldn't.

Thanks lol! Fixed. Amazing that it was downloaded 40 times and you're the first to mention it. Hopefully people read the name of the zip they downloaded before flashing.

do we need to wipe/factory reset after flash?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] gtg465x:
Only need to wipe/factory reset if you want a clean install. If you don't wipe/factory reset it's still good practice to wipe cache and dalvik, but you don't really have to do that either.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] gtg465x:

I just flashed 1.1.4, it actually formatted the system, instead of just blipping over it fast :)

Good work!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] gtg465x:
Good. Sorry about that guys. Been on HTC for a while where some things are done a little different.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] rblankman:
so, just formatting system is good? I am guessing that 1.1.3 formatted everything else correctly so 1.1.4 only added system format?

Stock Task Manager Widget

Love this latest version with the new launcher and all, but is there anyway for me to get the stock application manager widget that shows the number of running tasks?

I installed the "Active Apps" application in the meantime, but I think I like the ad free stock version better if I could get it back.

Still very new to this stuff so I'm hoping I could side load it or something, but if that's possible can someone explain how as well?

OK first thanks for the guide and the ROM, but I think I am doing something wrong,

I followed all the steps but it does not appear to be flashing the rom.

On step 9

I am selecting reinstall packages, a green recovery menu comes up (vs the yellow i saw with other options) and i selected reboot now.

Phone boots up to what it looks like exactly as I had it before flashing.

Sorry if this has been answered I am trying to read through all 200 pages.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] nstong:
Is the tw4 launcher multiDPI? Also from what I saw of tw4 the lockscreen is what I really want, I know you said your working on it. Anyway coming to this ROM I feel like overall battery performance is better, except for leaving my phone overnight. On stock I feel like I lost only a few percent if it was totally on standby, and I lost 15% on the ROM. Is there a way to make it sleep?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] benholman:
I believe you can flash the 1.4.1-full zip without wiping any user data. That's what I did and it worked, but I went from 1.3.2->1.4.1
[Samsung Infuse 4G] benholman:
the green recovery, aka cwm, is what you would use to flash the .zip

that you downloaded. The "reinstall packages" is simply to get the cwm working.

In the past I've had better luck not using the rom manager, and simply putting the cwm zips on my internal SD, and flashing them from the cwm(green or red recovery)

Anyone else finding poor battery life since Voodoo kernel?

I used to get to the end of a day (with minimal usage) and have 80+%, the last few days I almost don't make it through a day. I saw the low battery warning for the first time yesterday and I barely used my phone at all.

I know there are loads of possibilities that is why I am asking if others have seen a problem. I may have a stuck app or something else causing the problem.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] keitht:
I am still on 1.3.2 ROM and flashed the kernel 7 update to enable Voodoo Sound. I have not noticed any changes in battery but I just flashed the kernel a few hours ago. Before that, the default kernel with 1.3.2 ROM has been amazing. Will need to give it another day to make sure but so far so good.

Could also be caused by TouchWiz 4. Like I said, reverting to TouchWiz 3 in v1.4.2 because of too many random issues.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] gtg465x:
Even without TouchWiz 4, v1.4.2 will still have many improvements not in v1.3.2, so I think you'll be downloading too.
