[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seraph_harim:
Everything was a success, and there was much rejoicing!

They only thing I noticed was after the Samsung bootloop animation, it goes to the default "android" one instead of Verizon's... I'm sure there's a way to get that back, but its not in the system dump I have. I'm currently searching for it on the net ^^;;

Thanks again!

Edit: I was able to find a boot animation that had the first part of the Galaxy S bit without the Verizon part. When it booted it just repeated the "Galaxy S" animation. I thought by adding, renaming, and reversing the shutdown animation would at least give that back, but now I just get a black screen for that segment...Still working on it....I think it has to do with the txt file inside, but i'm not sure.

The PowerOn.wav is still present on the phone, but it doesn't play either.... >_<
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] artvandelay440:
Are you certain you put poweron.wav in /system/etc folder?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seraph_harim:
Yup, its there and plays fine in the media player, but I just noticed that there's also a PowerOn.snd file right above. Could that be interfering?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] artvandelay440:
Make a backup elsewhere of that file, then delete it and see if that works.

The sound won't work with most kernels that are not stock because the boot sounds aren't actually turned on in the kernel

Swyped from my CM7 fascinate
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seraph_harim:
Oh okay, any chance to get the default boot animation from any of you guys? She doesn't mind the sound "missing," but she would like the boot animation at least.

Eitiher way, thanks much for the info!
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lydar:
since it seems like you're using a stock Rom just debloated and rooted, you may want to think about just using the stock Kernel with the recovery wipe removed, it has two options one that sticks with the stock boot animation and may still have sound and one that allows custom boot animations. This kernel was created by imnuts and can be found here:

Firstly, why on earth title your topic as "Help!!", titles of subjects are supposed to be descriptive, titling "help" etc are ridiculous.

Second, If you had bothered to take 2 minutes to look you would find an abundance of guides, no need for this topic at all.

Third, You lost your iPhone then got a real phone, At least one good thing came from this thread :D

LMAO, I ...VERY... much doubt that since you cant even spell the word "know"!!

Plus this forum is not "meant" to be friendly, Its "meant" to contain all the info you need, 99% of all questions you could ask, especially ridiculously obvious ones like this have already been asked and answered. Take 5 mins and look.

PS. This is the development section, for devs to post work, Not to ask questions, hence the "Q&A" forum. Also you may have joined in 2005 but you still need to watch this video..

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] agentfazexx:
This.

OP, use correct grammar, better thread titling, and correct forum placement if you want to be taken seriously.

Also, MCSE has nothing to do with this, and really is not that difficult of a certification to get in the first place.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] TheATHEiST:
Well all new users are presented with it! :)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] TheATHEiST:
When you say a second one, what do you mean?

Did the first flash and boot ok and now you are trying a different build? Or do you mean you are trying a second one as first failed also??

Flashing WP7 is extremply easy. You just simply...

Load into MAGLDR menu

Load USB Flasher

Load up DFT flasher on PC

Start Flashing!

If this doesnt work it could be down to a incompatible SDCard. Some simply wont work with WP7.

Try and do a full format, ie..

Load Panasonic SDFormatter

FULL Format (Overwrite)

Size Adjustment ON

Reflash ROM!

If that doesnt work, use a different card. Remember WP7 creates a 200MB partition on card so dont be alarmed to see that the card only shows 200MB when you see it in windows.

[Xperia Play General] yoyoman2:
So I've been ready to upgrade since October last year (ftr, when the xperia play's first projected release date was before they went crazy pushing it back)

I'm tired to the wait for the play to come to AT&T, and there's no way in hell I'm ever going back to Verizon. Are there any severe network issues I'll encounter if I just grab an unlocked GSM one off eBay? ...or any higher end speed opportunities I'd be missing out on by not waiting to get it direct from my carrier?
[Xperia Play General] axiomjunglist:
Nope. The R800a is virtually identical to the R800at that will inevitably come out on AT&T at some point. They use the same frequency bands. The only difference is that the R800at will be AT&T branded and bootloader locked, while the R800a (depending on your source) will be bootloader unlockable and unbranded. I have an R800a on AT&T and no problem using 3G.

The only problem is finding the unbranded/unlocked version. As far as I know the only R800a's out there that match this description came from a developer conference or summit of some kind. There might be a few left on eBay. Your alternative is picking up a Canadian R800a, which is SIM locked to Rogers and bootloader locked. You can SIM unlock it for a fee, and should be able to configure the APN manually for AT&T use.

Whatever you do, don't get the R800i, that is, if you care about 3G. You'll only get EDGE on AT&T ;)
[Xperia Play General] TheBassman369:
I bought the R800a from another XDA member. Its data speeds are a lot faster than my Inspire 4G was. Plus you don't have to fool with the AT&T bloat and all of the usual stuff.
[Xperia Play General] Deoxlar:
The warranty will be a lot better if you waited for the at&t. Buying a lemon will ruin your life haha
[Xperia Play General] superscientific:
I am using one right now and you wont regret it. The data speeds are actually decent on the network and the call quality is great. Indoor signal strength could be a little stronger but haven't had a dropped call yet in two weeks. I just can't update to 2.3.3 yet.
[Xperia Play General] The_Newtype:
Reception overall has been terrible for me, and I've had several instances where I drop calls and then reception won't come back for another 2-3 minutes. Could be a network error in my area, but overall, I'm NOT pleased with the reception on my unlocked/unbranded R800a.

Note that you will not be able to update to 2.3.3 (not yet, and no one at SE wants to say when), and you will be locked out of many things in the Playstation Pocket App ("not supported in your region").

No idea how the warranty will work, but SE has been very kind to me over the years in regards to repairs from international/unofficial phones.
[Xperia Play General] emann56:
Yes you can :p You can get it right now

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=14547231#post14547231
[Xperia Play General] The_Newtype:
It's unofficial of course, and will that method work on an R800a? Won't the radio firmware be different since it's not the R800i? I'm a noob, so be gentle.
[Xperia Play General] emann56:
All you have do is get the apn setting for the phone company you use and it should work. I have a R800a and works perfectly fine :)
[Xperia Play General] yoyoman2:
I found an excellent deal on one and snagged it as soon as I got the cash.

So I won't have to worry about it saying that something isn't supported in my region?
[Xperia Play General] axiomjunglist:
The Playstation Pocket and Xperia Play app are region set as soon as you connect to a carrier. So on AT&T, you won't see anything in Playstation Pocket at the moment aside from Crash Bandicoot (and search returns back the message "not supported in your region"), but FPSe works better right now anyway. Xperia Play app doesn't show the same titles as in other regions, but you can buy that stuff from other places – Gameloft's site for their games for instance.

emann56 is right, R800a of any kind can now be rooted on 2.3.3. It is unofficial, but it does work. If you want root on your device I'd go through the process 1st before even setting anything up... but that's just me. Reports are that not wiping before flashing causes problems.
[Xperia Play General] yoyoman2:
So will I run into any complications if I, say, wanted to get the latest Gameloft games? Eternal Legacy, Modern Combat 2, Shadow Guardian, NOVA 2 and Sacred Odyssey are pretty much the major reasons I want this.
[Xperia Play General] TheBassman369:
I haven't. That's from the Gameloft website and has nothing to do with the Playstation Pocket app, if I'm not mistaken.
[Xperia Play General] yoyoman2:
Okay, okay... how would I go about officially getting Gameloft games for my Xperia PLAY exactly?

Even though my play isn't here, I went ahead and set it as my phone on the Gameloft website, and whenever I try to set up an order for a game (such as Eternal Legacy), I get stuck at the carrier screen where AT&T is not listed.
[Xperia Play General] axiomjunglist:
AT&T blocks non-Market application installs on their branded phones which is why you can't get it to work on your current phone. The R800a is unbranded so you can choose 'Unknown sources' in settings -> applications when you get it to allow direct downloads and installs of Gameloft games (and any other APKs for that matter).
[Xperia Play General] yoyoman2:
No I know that. I actually have my current phone rooted, cyanogenmodded up and such so non-market apps are a synch.

What I mean is that, since most gameloft games arent on the market, I'm trying to legitimately purchase some gameloft games from gameloft's website and at&t wasn't listed as an option.
[Xperia Play General] superscientific:
I am using a 800a on AT&T now. Once you go onto the gameloft website it will detect you have a Xperia Play and once you purchase it will download the apk and then just install. I even purchased the UK versions while they were on sale a few weeks back and it all works the same. No worries Gameloft games download and work perfect. No AT&T involved. The phone is unlocked.
[Xperia Play General] yoyoman2:
Thank you all so much!

I have it now, and it's wonderful! I was expecting to have to do all kinds of insane rooting and ROM flashing to get it to a level of competent performance, but unlocked out-of-the-box it's actually working really damn well.

If I root it though, can I wipe out some of the useless stuff? Like the Chinese Keyboard, Get Games, On Demand, Retail Demo, Ringbacks, Setup Guide, TrackID, Widgets On/Off,etc?
[Xperia Play General] TheBassman369:
Sure can. I did exactly that.

adb shove iPad2post.apk to /forum/thread
[Xperia Play General] yoyoman2:
Wow... okay.

So I gave my 2.3.2 Xperia Play a GingerBreak and got all them superuser goodies. Went into root explorer and cleaned out all that pre-installed Rogers stuff (that I couldn't even use if I wanted to).

...but my device was having some of the slowest booting ever so I decided to give 2.3.3 a shot... and now my root is gone :'(
[Xperia Play General] bongajushe:
Hi guys just finished searching the forums and found that this place might be the most appropriate place to post this question. I'm currently using an iPhone 3GS with AT&T with odwalla fan discount. How would I be able to use the xperia play on the AT&T network and still keep my discount? Also would I be able to use 3G? I will be getting a Rogers unlocked phone. If anyone could push me in the right directions would be very grateful. Thank you guys.
[Xperia Play General] The_Newtype:
I've no idea what that discount is, but the Play should work just fine with AT&T. I have an iPhone plan (grandfathered unlimited) and I have zero issues with my data connection on my Play.
[Xperia Play General] bongajushe:
Awesome! thank you for your answer. I was really worried I would lose the unlimited data play.

Ola guyz !

I got some problems with my battery on my phone... I just think that the phone dont save the statistics of the battery life right :(

I made the wipe and all the tips and tricks from here!

IF MY PHONE is on 10%... I put it on charge and it JUMPs automaticaly to 45% and after half hour the phone is on 100% and it did not fill anymore...

I got the latest 2.3.4 M6 (from mur4ik)...

Is there any other way to charge the battery but when the phone is shutted down ?!

I think that the battety would be better charged if the phone were OFF...

maybe some help ? some tricks ?!

thx

P.S. Before I installed the muraiks version... I was on the stock 2.1 ROM and just filled the battery to 100%... Then I just installed the muraiks version, the battery was good and the phone was ON for about 4 - 5 days... and after the first CHARGE on the new ROM... it just happend... 1 - 2 day MAX...
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] EazyLuke:
I don't have that problems, but try charging your phone in fastboot mode or in recovery mode. That way it has nothing to do with the ROM.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] torq1337:
How long is your phone ON ?!
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] lukemovement1:
the phone will still charge if it says 100% but isen't fully charged. on the first page of the main swiftdroid thread there is a tutorial on how to fix problem with the battery.

EDIT: dont know charge every night, weaver it needs it or not.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] torq1337:
:) Like I said, I did that tricks ;) but thx
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] ChriisM:
Go into the market , Type 'Battery Calibrator' without the '' worked for me.

Just charge for 5-6 hours non stop , it will beep when 100% but keep it in for 5-6 hours. then unlock the phone (still on charge) and press calibrate battery.

Should work , if not try the CWM way again and again.
