[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rportela0:
Own a Neo for about a week now.

After some personal testing and forum surfing, it seems that Arc and Neo have the same problem with WPA2 and the N standard.

Any WPA2 & N Protocoll connection will last for a few minutes, dropping after that (the wifi icon says is still connected, but no connectivity).

Forcing the router with WPA-only or WPA2-only did not solve.

Some users report WEP beeing functional, which is not acceptable. WEP and WPA are easly cracked and obsolet....

On the web we can find many many foruns reporting the same problem.

Gingerbread does not solve the problem on Neo (2.3.3)....

Some users reporting sucess after phone exchange (hardware problem ? )...

Workarrounds:

-- disable WAP and enable WEP (not recommended due to vulnerabilities)

-- disable 802.11N protocol, enabling only G on the router

Workarrounds that DO NOT work :

-- disable WMM on the router

-- disable auto-channel and force channel 7 our 11 on the router

-- config sleep time to never on Wifi settings

-- other software solutions, usually arround lock and sleep timer

It seems the driver needs some kind of patch....
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PsychoMania:
I have an Arc that works perfectly on both my N standard routers (both Netgears) using WPA2, has done since the first firmware. I have not used any special settings or workarounds.

This sounds very similar to the issue that many current Nokia's suffer from where they struggle with certain brands of router. In some of those cases updating the routers firmware has solved the problem, in others it has not.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lord Takyon:
For me I only have issues with certain routers, including mine lol.

Simple solution for me was simply to assign the arc a static IP in my router config.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rportela0:
At home I use a DLink-615 (latest firmware) and tried it on a hotspot and with a SMC router. Same result...

I ran out of ideias..... except for a phone refund.....
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PsychoMania:
Guess it's either a new phone or new router for you?

It would be interesting to find out exactly what causes the issue in certain routers with certain phones. Similar problems like this were effecting phones as far back as the N95.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pygo:
It's a known problem affecting many Neo/Play/Arc users

New Firmware FINALLY fixes the problem!!!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viulian:
For me it did not solve it ... I am running the latest update and I still notice disconnects.

It's weird though, since my SSH connection to the phone doesn't drop (I can still code in Putty), but every 5-10 minutes I see some of the software detecting a reconnect and attempting to update values / reconnect themselves.

Don't know if related, but my dmesg is littered with :

hi guys after 2 weeks finally i found out a solution for my home wifi internet then my android phone now work like champ .so i hope that something im about to write here will help you:

(i have 1 modem adsl named Postef,1 Wifi Access point named Planet WRT415)

here are what i did :

1) change the IP address of Modem to :192.168.1.1

change the IP address of AP to 192.168.1.2

2) change the channel of AP to 9

At the first time my modem and AP have the same IP which is 192.168.1.1 so when i use iphone4 and laptop to browse 192.168.1.1 it logged in to the Modem but my Android phone logged in to the AP so that is the problem ,the android phone can not distinguish if you use the same IP for Modem and AP

Hi,

I have the Leedroid 3.3.3 installed on my HTC Desire. I have also downloaded the latest Sense 3.0 add on for it but once i install it nothing has changed at all. Weather app hasnt changed nor has the lock screen. I installed through recovery console. Left it as usual installed from .zip. Took 5 minutes to boot back up and there was nothing there. Ive tried this twice also and have had the same result. Could i be doing something wrong here which i havent realized? Also i did do a search of the forums but couldnt find anything.

Thanks in advance :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JimmyScott:
hi m8,

first of all remember to do everything in recovery

heres a step by step guide (its short)

1. boot into recovery

2. wipe dalvik cache (its under advanced)

3. Wipe cache partition (its in the main menu)

4. install add-on, then it should work

sometimes wiping dalvik isnt enough....

Can someone tell me how i can get rid of the visual voicemail and low memory space notifications? i have been clearing cache and data from those for the past few days and its starting to get on my nerves. Please and thank you. :).
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] renjii:
for the memory problem you could try

1) FOTA fix http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1065018​

2) use sdpartition + link2sd to move apps that dont support app2sd http://http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1121466​

You can get rid of visual voicemail through Titanium.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
if you flash a rom that has it built in, just remove the vvm apk.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Light-라이트:
Thanks. :))).
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] chadster214:
I suggest not to remove visual voicemail. you can move it to your SD Card using Titanium backup. Visual voicemail has the Voicemail notification in it. you will not recieve any notification whenever someone leaves you a voicemail.

One more thing.... I dont really use wifi calling but it keeps popping up every time i connect to a hotspot. I tried deleting it from the root folder, and it just killed my phone and i had to reflash... Any tips?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] muzicman0:
what do you mean it killed your phone? It will go into a force close look when you delete the APK, but upon reboot, it works fine...or it has for me the 10 or so times I have deleted the APK...oh yeah, and if you get the force close, you don't have to pull the battery, just lock the phone, then hit the power button (but don't swipe to unlock), and shut down from there.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
I will soon be getting a G2X shipped to me in Thailand. I have heard that the LG Updater will refuse to update the phone if you don't have an active T-Mobile account. Is there a zip package I can flash with Clockwork Mod that will flash the Stock Gingerbread Update? A pre-rooted one would be preferred also. Or the alternative would be a Stock Gingerbread Nandroid backup I could restore.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] krekabl:
Yes. You have pre-rooted stock in dev section. But you won't get new baseband. For that you'll need to use OTA or LG update.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
What is the advantages of the new baseband?

Is it true that the LG Updater will refuse to update the phone without a valid T-Mobile account? Or is just having an old T-Mobile sim in the phone good enough? Or is this misinformation and the sim doesn't matter? I already have the unlock code for the phone. I will be receiving the phone early next week, hopefully.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] krekabl:
New baseband has better GPS lock and data connection is smoother. I don't think you need Tmo account to update, but I do know that LG updater is risky and may brick the phone. :((
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
I don't use GPS much but having smoother data would be nice. Yes, I have heard lots of horror stories regarding the LG Updater. I test ran it with my wife's Optimus T and it flashed an update with no problems; but that doesn't mean that the G2X update would go as smooth. Thanks for replying and your valuable information.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gaww:
I am surprised that being over there, you got a G2X rather then an O2X like you wife's.

To get the baseband, you could also do the kdx flashing route that is covered in this forum. However, data works pretty good in the original baseband, and you can flash just the ROMs over it without worrying about bricking it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
My wife has an Optimus T, not an O2X. I went with the G2X for three reasons. The first one is that I hate the UI that LG puts on the O2X (I have played around with demo phones at Tesco). It is almost a clone of the Samsung UI. I prefer vanilla Android, which the G2X has. Also, I got a second hand one in very good condition from a reliable source I have purchased many, many devices from for $269 with shipping to my USA address (shipping to Thailand is another $9.00). So the total transaction cost me just over 8,000 baht. The new O2Xs here are 17,900 baht (almost $600) and used ones are going for around 12,000 baht. The third reason is that there is still no Gingerbread update released for O2X devices. I prefer stock roms over mods like Cyanogen. Having used a Nexus One for a while I prefer Gingerbread. On the G2X I will flash CWM recovery and then the 2.3.3 flashable zip. I can live without updating the baseband for now. If the G2X works well I will give my wife the Nexus One. If not, I will resell it at a profit. :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gaww:
I do not know what data bands you have over there (I have not been there for a long time - when the exchange rate was 16-18:1), and that is why I was questioning your choice (unless you only use WiFi for data - then it does not matter).

You will have a choice of rooted or unrooted flashable ROM's. I would guess you would go with the rooted.

PS - your written English is excellent - way better then many US located posters, whose posts are sometimes almost undecipherable.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
I use TOT3G which runs on 2100, which the G2X can use. AIS just turned on their 3G system in Bangkok on 900 and DTAC and True use 850. Glad to hear my English is good. Being an American expat living in Thailand it's good to know. With the declining value of the dollar against the baht bringing stuff over here is getting cheaper. I wish it was 16 to 18 to 1, then the stuff would be even cheaper. When buying from the USA you multiply the dollar price by the baht to the dollar amount. So if the exchange rate was 18 to 1, I would be paying less than 5,000 baht for the phone. As the ratio goes down, it means the baht is strengthening against the dollar and buying stuff from the USA gets cheaper when converted to baht.
[Xperia Play General] crimsonnight:
Sad times, it's not worth sending it into repairs is it - would superglue be sufficient?
[Xperia Play General] Deblow:
Super glue can damage plastic and rubber, so your best to use industrial double sided tape or something else

is it rubber behind the button? of not then super glue could be ok, but if its rubber the glue will make it hard and affect how well the buttons work
[Xperia Play General] jourdans:
omg how do you even manage to do that?
[Xperia Play General] subcu1ture:

[Xperia Play General] crimsonnight:
Literally no idea, I'm really careful with my phones, always been in a padded case - just picked it up today and saw it detached on my desk :(

Yeah it's rubber, so no superglue? Double sided tape will add too much thickness will it not? + it sounds pretty fidley - is there an alternative type of glue I could use?
[Xperia Play General] subcu1ture:
liquid nails will not melt plastics or rubber.

Thanks for the suggestion guys, will try the nail polish thing

The whole warrenty thing is a little dodgey for me as I bought mine off ebay, but it was originally purchased pay as you go from Vodafone (UK) if that helps with the model number?
[Xperia Play General] Da22a:
If your volume button is still to hand, just push it back into the phone.

Mine came out after owning the phone for a few weeks, whilst was using blue-tack and cardboard to build a make-shift dock at my desk at work.

The blue-tack was great at keeping the phone still and in place, however one time the volume button was pressed right into the blue-tack and when lefting my phone from it the volume rocker came out.

Its not come out since and there didnt seem to be any sign of glue in the phone holding it down in the first place.
[Xperia Play General] Jaibrink:
Mine fell off too, but I don't know where it went

Just putting it out there that my xperia play volume controls fell off too. I can't seem to find any place to get just the volume rocker.
[Xperia Play General] Deoxlar:
Am I the only one that finds this hilarious...
[Xperia Play General] dsswoosh:
Mine fell off too, and yeah i find it hilarious.

Solution -

1) Buy some Marley Solvent Cement

Warning -

THIS IS TOXIC AND STRONG STUFF, DO NOT SNIFF (lol seriously dont), AND DO NOT GET IT IN ANY OTHER AREA ON YOUR PHONE BECAUSE IT DOES MELT PLASTIC.

2) Put a SMALL amount on the centre behind of the volume button.

3) Gently push back in place.

4) If some squeeze out the edges, QUICKLY use your fingernail to wipe the excess away.

The centre of the volume button will now be FUSED to the centre of the rocker. It will now NEVER fall off again. Seriously, DO NOT get this stuff on any other part of your phone because it will MELT the plastic. Do the job correctly and you will have a perfectly working volume button again with completely ZERO chance of it ever falling off.

Disclaimer - You have been warned about the potency of this stuff. Do not mess around with it unless you want your nose burned off your face or your phone melted into oblivion. :D
[Xperia Play General] DeadlyDazza:
I do remember being warned that if you rub it up & down & up & down too much it will fall off :rolleyes::p:eek::D
[Xperia Play General] ShahinTehShiz:
Hey guys, my volume rocker just fell out today, managed to find it and there is a little circle on the middle of it which most probably is where they put glue to stick it.

I try to fit it back in but through quick turning of the phone it falls out.

Would it be okay if I put just a TINY bit of superglue in the middle? It's gonna be touching the rubber which covers the internal volume buttons.
[Xperia Play General] pricey2009:
I wouldn't recommend superglue, one slip and you will ruin it.. try araldite plastic glue it would be better.. about 3.99gbp most places

Lol the Xperia play is a crap made phone in terms of reliability / durability

I've always known of the flaws like the buttons falling out.

the thing is total cheap plastic and also the slide mechanism scratches the game deck area.

probably more problems but i cant think of them now.
[Xperia Play General] captain67:
So far, my play has been far more reliable than the Samsung and iPhone handsets my friends and family are using. If the play is "crap made" as you put it than so is everything else.

Sent from Asgard
[Xperia Play General] Zerobarat1:
But you still can't deny the fact that it is a plastic candy bar that in time will have some serious creak sounds on the cover the slide also gets pretty slack in time. Considering the Play did not receive 2011's wonders, dual-core tehnology it should have at least gotten a solid slide system like the ones Nokia offers on their handsets.

But in terms of all the other things I think that SE products are really nice, excellent speaker, decent LCD, good headset piece, good in the ear headphones and decent software. This is the first android I didn't feel the need to mode and go for a Cyanogenmod solution or the need to overlock it.

I'm gonna play the endurance game with this one and wait for the Xperia Play 2 :). I hope they'll put their 2012 line-up materials in it(anti-scratch cover plus good resistant materials overall) and even a 720p screen, like, why not :D?
[Xperia Play General] captain67:
For me, the most important things are;

- the screen

-battery life

-reception and call quality

-lag-free interface

The Play has delivered in all those areas, so I consider it to be a great device. Yeah, the build quality could be better, but look at HTC. I see a lot of HTC models with fantastic build quality, but I also see a LOT of comments in the market from people who have an HTC and are experiencing app compatibility problems. Everything I've run on the Play has worked thus far without a hiccup, aside from slight lag in high-graphic games, or the inability to play HD video.

The back cover is a bit creaky, and flimsy, but at least I know it won't get dented, and instead flexes under stress.

After taking mine apart, I'm not really sure how this is possible. I don't see how the volume buttons can fit through the cut out that exposes them in the housing. Are they detaching from some kind of backing plate? I need to take another look at how they are constructed. I just got a dummy phone as well but nothing seems interchangeable but I will be sure to check closer and report back.

[Xperia Play General] KMFDM_Kid2000:
This happened to me as well, and I do take care of my devices pretty carefully as well.

Krazy Glue *DOES* work just fine. It's nearly a year now since I applied it and I've had zero issues, and my volume buttons work just fine now. You need an EXTREMELY SMALL amount to reattach this, just a thin layer will do.

I don't know why this happened, it literally fell off while I was browsing on the phone in a restaurant. Faulty assembly/design maybe.
[Xperia Play General] narflynn619:
The main problem here I suppose is that the XPlay's volume button, unlike the previous Java-based SE phones (i.e. K810i, which I previously owned), do not have the extra piece of plastic around the volume button that acts as an anti-dropping-off catch for the hole to which it fits in. It's a weird move by SE I suppose. Thinking how the rubber part easily separates from the actual volume button, I can imagine there are a lot of XPlay users who get disappointed going home to see their volume button has fallen off somewhere on the road when they were on their way home. Shame. Good thing mine fell off when me and my wife were browsing pictures of our baby in my bed. Jeez.
