[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] narflynn619:
So around more than a month ago I ordered one piece of XtremeGuard screen protector off eBay from the official retailer. I just really wanted to give it a try even knowing that the Xperia Play already comes with a shatter-proof film fitted on it. My order didn't arrive within the 20-day period so I requested a refund. They refunded my $4 and to my surprise, the item came this afternoon after more than a month since it was ordered.

Now I'm really thinking twice...

So here are my questions:

1. when installing the XtremeGuard screen protector, do I have to remove first the shatter-proof sheet already fitted on the Play's screen?

2. anyone got a video for the installation of XtremeGuard? I very well understand and speak English but then their instruction material is kinda vague. And knowing that the installation involves water and soap, I think this procedure should be taken seriously since it may damage internal circuitries of the phone. So a video of the installation should really help!

Thanks everyone! Will be waiting for your replies! :D;):cool:
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryocoon:
Screenguards are generally of varying quality. I haven't heard of that particular brand. However, most screen guards are applied in one of two methods:

1) Sticky/Sticker application. The screenguard has a side with a glue applied. You carefully apply it and hope for the best.

2) AdhesionCling with soap/water/alcohol. Basically you strip off the old guards if you have one, clean the screen, then apply a _very thin_ layer of this soap/water/isopropyl-alcohol solution to the screen. You then apply their clingwrap style of screen guard starting from the top and slowly slide it into place, trying to avoid as many bubbles as possible. You then use a credit card or a supplied squeegee tool to try and squeeze out the bubbles while the liquid is still there. If you are lucky and get them all out, let it dry for 4~12 hours. Then it should be stuck there pretty good until something randomly peels the corner.

With all screenguards there are pros and cons.

Pros:

Less likely to scratch screen. Slight bit more impact resistance against breaking your screen. Some provide anti-glare or even tilt-angle shading for privacy (prevents shoulder surfing, but lowers visible angles).

Cons: Slight to moderate less responsiveness and accuracy from the digitizer (thing that recognizes your fingers). Depending on the material and formulation, you may also have a negative tactile response (gummy or sticky, compared to the bare glass). Buildup of gunk around edges of screenguard (this is particularly prevalent on the whole-device type covers, or ones that aren't touching all the way to the bezels).

I can't prescribe an exact way of doing it, but look for some of the YouTube videos on how to apply the ZAGG screen protectors. They apply with the soap/water/alcohol solutions, so it may be close enough to your type to be similar visual instruction.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] narflynn619:
whoa thanks for that buddy!

now I'm thinking twice again.. I can live with lesser angled views but with LESS RESPONSIVE DIGITIZER? No way! :(
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryocoon:
Any screen protector will do that. Some do it worse than others. Some do it so slightly that you don't notice it (or you just become adjusted to it over time).
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TweeterMan:
By far my favorite screen protectors are the anti-glares. They don't have that sticky feeling that the BodyGuardz or Zagg ones do, and the viewing angle is butchered. After this anit-glare wears off I will finally also remove the stock one that comes on it. My touch response is very wonky sometimes.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cubsfan3493:
Same deal here I tried the same buyer I'm sure and I had the same problem. Dont use ebay!

[Atrix 4G General] JohnnyDanger:
Hi everyone. I just restart my phone and before I did my battery was at 82% per circle battery widget but when it started again the battery is listed at 100%. That's both on circle battery widget and the battery indicator.

Is this a know problem? I just don't know what my actual battery left is now.

[Atrix 4G General] DJHile:
Yes it's a known issue. What ROM are you on?

Posted from my unlocked, rooted, & de-bloated Motorola Atrix (Olympus) running 2.3.4 Gingerbread dosed up on Dorian's RedPill v2 using the XDA App.
[Atrix 4G General] joshyy_rey:
known issue. supposedly works with this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1174349
[Atrix 4G General] quicklyspent:
That fixed the jumping issue for me. The current version will cause the Battery & Data Manager to FC though. Still waiting on the deodexed files to be released to clear that up...
[Atrix 4G General] JohnnyDanger:
Thanks for this info. I installed the zip and will see if there's a difference.

It would be nice to track a real fix here in this thread.

I only saw this issue once. I use an aftermarket battery from Seidio, and I've NEVER gotten it to calibrate correctly... Not in 2.2, and now not in 2.3...

I've tried all the "Charge it to 100, then CWM, clear battery..." suggestions, but the second I pull it off the charger it drops to 95%.

Enjoy!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jaychym:
seems like this wouldn't be safe to flash since i'd bet you would loose root. but looks like a new radio as well? any insight?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] VibrantOwnr:
DO NOT FLASH!!!

until this has been tested by a dev. There is a good(99.9%) chance that you will lose root with this.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] stlouie65:
Thanks Football
[myTouch 4G Android Development] cbetso:
WHAT IS SO Different IN THIS ONE for the old one
[myTouch 4G Android Development] nlarge:
A new tmo radio would be great if it boosts their crappy signal
[myTouch 4G Android Development] VibrantOwnr:
i am going to give it a try to compile...we will see how successful i am (i am a newbie dev)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] chipis:
Is this ROM has ROOT access???
[myTouch 4G Android Development] VibrantOwnr:
unfortunatly i cant get the system to extract properly....guess it might be time for a more seasoned dev to take a shot at it

edit: nevermind...got it

Thanks Football
[myTouch 4G Android Development] themathers:
any screenies for this? :)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] krazie1:
Goodluck. I'm really interested in the radio. I wonder if its faster then 2.2 my sense.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] chipis:
How can i installed it, Thru CWM? Or How ??
[myTouch 4G Android Development] cnote74:
Probably fastboot or hboot is my guess
[myTouch 4G Android Development] chipis:
so in that case i put .zip at the end, because i try with hboot but nothing happend.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] atifsh:
just installed, remained S-off :) its android 2.3.4 with sense 2.1

Hboot is same that comes with panache ROM

swype version is 3.7.85.27287.27309

can't root, apparently gingerbreak doesnt work on 2.3.4, was working on 2.3.3 panache ROM.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] cnote74:
If there's an .exe in the zip pc install
[myTouch 4G Android Development] atifsh:
rename the file to PD15IMG.zip place it in the root of sdcard and reboot press vol down than wait and enjoy :). you will loose root let me check stuff before flashing ill post stuff...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Crazydaddy:
Did you just flash this?

Rooted/OC'd/1.2.7
[myTouch 4G Android Development] cnote74:
I want the new radio
[myTouch 4G Android Development] boardopboy:
Anyone know if this has the amazing panorama camera?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] s10shane:
yeah i looked at trying it that way but the big problem for me is that, i cant get it temp rooted at all. none of the apps i used could do it. visionary just stays in a all black screen when trying to do the temp root and gingerbreak cant temp root with s-on. so basically we gotta wait it out till someone can figure this out cause im tired of trying. lol but this rom has bugs every now and then. also quadrant scores are stupid low. i know people say quadrant doesnt mean much but before with stock froyo i got min. 1600 ish and max 1900 ish.. with this gingerbread sense im getting min. 1100 max. 1500.. so its pretty much way off the way i see it. i cant see getting a update and it killing ur benchmark scores.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Kingissa:
Can you install the official update on the first page of this post to an unrooted phone?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] s10shane:
thats what i did, i had s-on and it my phones wasnt rooted and now i cant root my phone at all and i cant go back to the stock 2.2.1 so i wouldnt do it.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] darksulfur5:
I like all the little tweaks and improvements. The no root and s-on part is a bit of a bummer, but I already knew about that before I updated. I'm sure one day it will get rooted again but w/e, no big deal.

Update:

I didn't use this, I received the official Ota. Just clarifying.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
You already got this ota from T-Mobile??
[myTouch 4G Android Development] darksulfur5:
Woke up on the 23rd and a little notification came up asking me to update. BTW, I said flashed instead of updated by mistake.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] darksulfur5:
The odd thing is that its 2.3.4 but it doesn't have Voice and video in google talk.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
That is weird... what radio did they give you?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] darksulfur5:
Seems to be the same as this one. The radio number in the title of this topic matches with the one I see in the settings menu.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Ace42:
Radio isn't related to Google talk with video, just search the apk on Google and try installing it, or push it to system/app to replace other one. I doubt they would put the effort to add video gtalk...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
Ok cool, thanks. Was thinking of flashing newest radio with cm7.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] darksulfur5:
We know. He was just asking to see if the official ota from tmo and this pd15img.zip has the same radio.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
Exactly.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] powduh09:
Now that this has hit the public... Wnader how long it will be before we see the full sense 2.3.4 (for the panache) that works on the glacier? I've already started ripoing apart the "mysense" crap rom, looking to try and piece the full sense look back together...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] atifsh:
i triued it days back when it came out, but as im not a cook, i failed lol, i tried to remove and replace the sense files but haha, it wasnt that simple.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] powduh09:
Of course... You also need sense framework, and a few others...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Neoprimal:
I would just like to know/confirm whether or not this is the update going out currently to the MT4G.

Can someone post the build/software numbers, etc. of the phone info of this update?

I don't want to install a 'test' leak. I'm just being impatient for the OTA. Also not interested in going to a Tmo store on August 5 as I can do it myself. I just need to know if this is what's actually going out so I don't end up having to wipe the phone twice.

Thanks much.

Sorry if it's been asked/answered already. I did search for a good 10m but haven't found that answer anywhere. I've read that it's the "final" but that doesn't answer my question.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] iDylan1357:
a goldcard doesn't make any difference. I tried with both the 2.2.1 PD15IMG file and Panache RUU. there's gotta be a way to reverse :/
[myTouch 4G Android Development] WOLF26915:
By reverse do you mean downgrade, if that's what you mean then yes there is a way to downgrade to 2.2.1, this worked for me http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1178912 follow the G2 method, when you get to the part where you put this in # /data/local/tmp/misc_version -s 1.19.531.1 make sure you put the version you want like 1.17.531.2 not 1.19.531.1 I used PD15IMG_Glacier_TMOUS_1.17.531.2_Radio_12.28b.60.1 40e_26.03.02.26_M_release_155771_signed renamed it PD15IMG then put it on sdcard
[myTouch 4G Android Development] iDylan1357:
I thought this was a G2 only exploit, but sure enough it worked for mine too! I've been searching all around the internet to find a solution and this did it! Thank you!!!

tmo - ota different?

This is interesting.

The 'leak' here is TMOUS_2.19.531.1_Radio_12.58 .60.25_26.11.04.03_M_release

But I saw in a few places that someone said the OTA is :

Build-2.09.531.1 CL54593 release-keys

Software-2.09.531.1

Baseband: 12.55.60.25P_26.09.04.26_M

the radio/baseband is older?

Anybody here get the OTA?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] PangOS:
I don't understand here. You were able to downgrade to stock rom on Glacier after installing this S=on no root image after this guide?

Got S=off and su afterward??

:eek:I also flashed this rom in haste and I need to do something to unlock.:(

Or is there any way I can get a carrier unlock code for this so I can use it as a phone in the meantime? I have no T-Mobile here.

Desperately trying to root.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] :
Yes you can use the g2 exploit but when you get to misc_version change it to misc_version -s 1.15.531.1 then when you get to the part to flash stock Rom just put PD15IMG.zip don't worry about typing the Rom name just PD15IMG.zip
[myTouch 4G Android Development] PangOS:
Deleted Post?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] :
Make sure you have fastboot off. I totally forgot to do it when I first flashed the froyo Rom....I was too excited and I forgot that it has to be off to get visionary to stick so I had to do a reset
[myTouch 4G Android Development] PangOS:
Edited Post.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
Fast boot doesn't let the phone shut all the way down. Pulling battery does the same thing as turning off fast boot. It just allows the phone to turn all the way off so you can get into the bootloader.

The instructions are there for a reason. You should follow them.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] PangOS:
What an exploit!! I've been trying to temproot forever and this is the only thing that worked.

Is it really that easy?? Like on another Unix sytsem? to run a script or something that causes an error where you get root? Although it was easy for me because someone told me how to do it. :rolleyes:
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
I'm telling you that if you turn off fast boot in applications settings or power settings and then power down it will work the exact same way.

Try it.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Ace42:
I think I know what you're getting at, but it's time for a new phone or get it fixed. The only I could really say is that whenever you reboot, the phone is receiving the inputs home & Volume Down, so the buttons may be the only culprit.

[myTouch 4G Android Development] Ace42:
When phone is off, nothing would happen except it will boot as normal, since power+Volume down is needed for bootloader. Do you have a warranty? The HTC warranty is still valid for 1 or 2years i think you can call them or tell tmobile your problems.

You need this I think

So you can atleast use the phone correctly ;)

just sayin, this is the official gingerbread right here that is being given to T-Mobile corporate stores as we speak. if you root and want to un-root, you would want to use this ROM, it is official, as I have it after getting upgraded via SD card in store today. have fun everybody!

Hello all - I am back from the G2x forun to work on a TMo family plan phone (hand-me-down MT4G). I had been crack flashing on it before I moved on (CFA meetings cured me of that), but she could care less about 2.3.5 vs 2.3.3 (or even 2.2.1), so I wanted to stay as stock as possible.

I downloaded the OTA from your sig link, and it flashed fine. All worked great, but the GPS would not even see satellites, much less lock. I downloaded and flashed the separate OTA baseband zip, let the HBOOT flash it, and it fixed that issue.

For good measure, I added faux .009 kernel. I had his kernel for stock 2,2.1 on it before, and she had gotten used to being called a "smartass" when it booted up. All is working well so far (one day).

I wish putting on a baseband was so easy (or even possible) on the G2X. I had to return a unit that the infamous LG Update program had bricked (messed up the baseband beyond repair). The O2X can use the nvidia Smartflash tool to flash baseband, but not the G2X. There is an OTA baseband image available, but the rooting of the G2X does not sufficiently open up the system for it to NVflash it.

All the last paragraph is for those who might be looking at the G2X or other LG phone.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
Thanks for that. Was considering a g2x but found a good deal on a sensation.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Ace42:
