I ever posted my problem before on June: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1139133

Now, my defective PLAY works well (the touchscreen, d-pad, touchpad, power button, wifi, etc) no matter how long i played HD games after updated to firmware firmware 4.0.A.2.368 World (already tried it for 3 days n played the hd games 3-4 hours straight a day).

Hope this will help whoever has the same problem, although i know very very few people has this kind of issue :)
[Xperia Play General] nelly_boy:
When you say wifi? What wifi issue did it fix? My one can not hold wireless for more than 15 mins without it hanging. Only fix is it shut wifi down, then reopen? Please tell me this has fixed it?
[Xperia Play General] hate_do:
My wifi issue was:

it wouldn't work at all, i mean the wifi could not be turned on after the crash caused by playing HD games for about 10-15 mins.

Maybe you could try this 4.0.A.2.368 World firmware, who knows it could fix your wifi issue. For me, it fix all my defective problem :)

Edit: Before the crash caused by playing hd games, my wifi could work very well
[Xperia Play General] Blagus:
thanks for tip. i can upload my generic world 4.0 fw soon ;)
[Xperia Play General] Deoxlar:
When you say that your wifi doesn't hold for more then 15 minutes, how far away are you from your router? The wifi radio is not very strong on the play, i had the same problem before I bought the netgear wnr3500L range booster router. Now it doesn't dc at all.
[Xperia Play General] Deoxlar:
I'm glad to hear that your annoying problem got fixed :) I thought it was hardware for sure too.
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
wifi seems much stronger in latest update :)

they have also added a notification sound for sms's/email while on call :D :D

although the new update does seem a bit more memory hungry, must be all the new bloatware eating the ram lol
[Xperia Play General] hate_do:
Yes, for sure it's hardware problem.. I guess mine's not very serious one since it could be fix with proper firmware..

Did a test back flashed with previous firmwares (playing HD games n xperia play optimized ones):

- 2.3.2 generic HK .184 ---> successfully crash the whole system (screen freeze, touchscreen, d-pad, touchpad, all button did not function)

- 2.3.3 generic HK .145 ---> crash the whole system

- 2.3.2 generic UK .184 ---> crash the system partially (touchscreen, d-pad, X O square circle button could work, other than that couldn't work)

- 2.3.3 generic UK .145 ---> crash the whole system

- 2.3.3 generic Germany .146 ---> crash the whole system randomly in minutes; sometimes in 3mins play, sometimes in 45mins - 1hour

Flashed with 2.3.3 R800i 4.0.A.2.368 World ---> all works well :)

Don't know if the coming firmware could crash my PLAY system or not
[Xperia Play General] nelly_boy:
In the same room. wifi signal is 90%. No other device is my house has the same issue. Will try this this world rom. Thanks

I am looking at upgrading my HTC desire to the Samsung Galaxy S II on Orange UK.

My question, have you got a Samsung Galaxy S II through orange and if so does it come full of bloat ware like the HTC Desire did?

I want one i can put on the windshield or dashboard. I have seen others that plug and are supported by the cig lighter holder and i dont like those.

Thinking of getting the one above unless someone has any better recommendations?
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] mrkrad:
What are the chances a real cash bounty will port them to the touchpad? even if its a boot inside a boot (like an ios crack) where it initially boots the core kernel then boots the real OS??

I'd donate $10 + $10 (alpha, working mostly) towards mostly working product?

Hardware hackers could make a few thous.

tl;dr SAMSUNG phones coming out use the same cpu as touchpad
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] remote44:
Get the port started and something i can use in 30 days so i dont return mine and i will offer up the second TP i bought for 150 bucks i paid 320 all in with the case i need to recoup some cost.

[HTC EVO 3D] janvk:
Is there a procedure to unroot (s-on) my EVO 3d gsm because i have battery overheating issue ? Used the revolutionary tool to root it.

What would be the procedure

Thx

Jan
[HTC EVO 3D] Martaan:
Bump. I need it too
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
I've never owned or used the GSM device. I would think, the unrooting process would at least be similar if not the same as the CDMA device.

From what I can tell, the four most commonly changed parts of the device for rooting/customizing are: bootloader, kernel, system and recovery. The rest of the partitions should be used stock data or can easily be wiped (/data and /cache) from the stock system.

The kernel, system and recovery can be and usually are reverted with an RUU (ROM Update Utility) file. These RUU files are generally posted on the dev board by a user named Football. He apparently obtains and posts the majority of HTC leaked official software.

The tricky questionable step, in my opinion, would be reverting the bootloader. There is a stock bootloader contained in the RUU files. Flashing an RUU should wipe out the revolutionary bootloader and replace with a stock bootloader.

On the CDMA Sprint devices, there is a fastboot command to run which supposidly locks the stock bootloader back up. I haven't ever used this command nor have I researched it in depth to see where it originated from.

Hope the details help create a better picture of the overall process and the steps needed!

Does anyone have any idea as to where I can buy a new volume control because the down button works but only rarely, I have disassembled the phone and couldn't figure out what was wrong with it. The only thing I can guess is the button is just faulty.

If anyone knows where I can get a replacement one that would be great! :D

HI

So been searching for info on this, and other forums for about 2 days but came up with nothing on my device so hopefully i did a good job.

First of im Swedish so sorry for my bad english.

So my device:

HTC Desire 2.3.3

Flashed with HTC RUU from there site.

Not roted

As far as i know its not branded

Norwegian carrier

My problem:

The problems only showed after the upgrade to 2.3.3 and is:

1. When i listen to music on speakers i can change the volume perfectly but when i connect my headphones or handsfree my volume is stuck at one level.

I already tried to change the volume from settings, from different music players and tried a hard reset using power on and volume down.

Nothing seems to fix it.

2. My phone goes into car mode often. Mostly when i plug in my charger but sometimes when its in my pocket. I already downloaded the app from market thats supposed to "fix" it but it didn't do much differens.

I tried hard reset but the problem is still there.

3. I tried to root my phone so i could reflash it with another rom but read on another forum that its not possible at the moment using 2.3.3. Tried gingerbreak and unrevoked 3 but with no success. So in my desperation and irritation over the problem i re-downloaded the HTC 2.3.3 update to try and reflash the phone but i got an error message stating that i needed the correct rom for my phone. Kind of strange imo because thats the one i downloaded and successfully used the first time.

So the solutions i already tried are:

Different headphones

apps to combat the car mode

Hard reset using power on and volume down.

Any ideas?

//Thomas G
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pinchbeck:
Thomas,

Short answer is that you can't root if you applied the HTC RUU, at least not yet (plenty of forums threads on XDA discuss this). This means you are stuck with that ROM for now.

I don't see your bugs on the rooted version of the HTC gingerbread ROM, so can't reproduce them.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aasterix:
Yes i know it cant root it, just showing what solutions i tried so far =)

And now im all out of ideas =(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goki1:

U are not using revolutionary i think..What u using? unrevoked?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aasterix:
Hi again and thank you for replying :)

Im sorry i get them two mixed up. But i tried revolutionary on my windows computer but dont remember what happend, error codes, other messages etc, all i know is it didn't work because i still wasent rooted. Thats when i tried unrevoked after. Iv tried alot of stuff using my windows machin but its not hooked up right now and im mostly only using my macbook.

But my main concern is not rooting atm, but the volume and car mode. I work in IKEA Logistiks and we work night hours so were listening to music while we work. Its a pain not being abel to adjust the volume =/
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aasterix:
Dude im so sorry. I surfed a bit more on there page and remembered that i had problems with invalid beta code and i tried the solution, copy past, but still no luck getting the program to run.

Thats what happend. But giving it another so il post what happend in a while!

Sorry again and thanks!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aasterix:
Problem solved =)

Got S-off with revolutionary after borrowing a friends computer so something wrong with my windows machine maybe.

But reflashed it with Cyanogen mod and its working like a charm =)

No more car mode and i can change the volume. Strange bug i must have received before with the update from HTC 2.3.3.

Thanks for the help, its friday so beer on me! =)

Yes there are equivalent updates for rooted phones. Check the first couple pages in the dev section and you should find them.

They also said themselves not to take the update. At least that is what I remember seeing.
[HTC EVO 3D] motoelliot:
Still don't understand why ppl are using htcs unlock. Alpharevs way is easy, n doesn't void warranty. From what I've read its tough to install a recovery and basically screws you.

Sent from 3D A.W.E.S.O.M-O
[HTC EVO 3D] Azrael.arach:
Well from the legal standing alpharevs does void warranty just harder to tell. Another reason to figure this out is soon all new evo 3ds sold will already have the hboot 1.50. Most be something otherwise it would be lame as hell to have htc unlock a bootloader that does nothing.
[HTC EVO 3D] xTONEx:
Htc's method needs to stop being compared to rev's method... Htc only unlocked it. Meaning that the devs will still need to come up with the method for the rest. (s-off and the rest) think of it like the old evo unlocked but still needed dev work for soff and recovery...

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Super Chimp:
Thanks for confirming this issue. I was vaguely looking at getting the Mini Pro but if this is such an issue I don't think I will bother for now.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sxxorp:
Hi, thanks for dealing with the issue, you wrote many new info on the topic - and it doesn't sound good... seems like a hardware-plan related construction problem... Many sample videos contain the same problem - in fact I haven't seen one without it...

I'd like to have one Mini Pro, but this holds me back.

Is it the same with the Mini (ST15i)?

You said on the official forum that you contacted SE - how, and did they answer?

Ideas:

- any possibility to separate the mic from the 3.5 jack, with some small material?

- plug-in only the USB-cable (or a chunk of it...) without anything on the other side (no laptop/charger) , does it work?

(- maybe recording with headset connected , so the jack is plugged-in? (or does this prevent the phone to record video with sounds?))

sorry if these can't be made, I'm before purchasing the mobile I can't test the ideas... but it'd be good to have a solution!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sur1k:
I got an answer from SE customer support. They told me to go to service.

I did it. So no tests for a while. Sorry. I'll give more info when the device comes back. Maybe, someone else will test it? I'm sure that there's another sk17 owners on forum :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sxxorp:
As I told you there are several sample videos on youtube, as I can recall all sharing this problem... I suppose Minis without keyboard don't have this noise, jack was placed totally different.

What could a service do with this problem?? It seems badly planned, rather than faulty hardware...

Keep us updated: your phone becoming OK or not (and how they did it...)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] :
noise confirm

i know i have this little chirp or scratch noise. exactly like the video in the 1st post of the russian youtube. i'v tried to record in vga and same thing happens. i love the phone but a lithe disappointed in the recording chirp background. not horribly bad but still bad.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Super Chimp:
So it is just the Pro and not the Mini that has this issue?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sxxorp:
I'm not sure, but I've seen videos made with the Mini that was a lot clearer. Their inner structure is different, it ca easily tur out that the Mini has a lot more space to avoid this problem (despite bigger size the Pro is more compressed because of the keyboard) and the jack is on the other side...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] :
I have the mini pro sk17a if that makes any difference
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sxxorp:
When your's was made? (see Sur1k's 1st post how to check)

In the meantime one forum member from the Hungarian SE-forum called SEria (http://www.seria.hu/forum/viewtopic.php?p=120572#120572 in Hungarian language) tried to check some options, I'll provide a rough translation:

he made 4 videos: normal, USB plugged (in charger also), headset plugged, headset+USB plugged:

http://www.mediafire.com/?y4k4cvwdjxns4v8

The video background noise becomes normal only when USB was plugged. He also suspects hardware failure...

Production week: 11W28... the same.

Plugging in only the USB cable, while the other end is free doesn't work on his device (if it worked, good video could be made with plugging in only the cable as a primitive workaround...)

UPD: we have a 11W30 with the noise

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Super Chimp:
It seems likely that it's one piece of hardware inside interfering with the camera audio, which unless SE revise the internal workings in some way seems unlikely to be fixed anytime soon.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Linkinsoldier:
i can confirm this! Same problem here :/

edit: if the problem is the microphone, why does calling work without problems?

edit2: even WORSE: Try putting your phone on your ear "WHILE THE DISPLAY IS ON!!!!"... you can hear the voice too!!!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sipe1:
Ear on display you can hear the voice? What kind of voice? I'm thinking about buying this phone because it's perfect, but this problem made me curious. Is everyone with mini pro having that clicking noise?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Linkinsoldier:
when the display is on and your holding the phone like you're trying to call someone... you can hear the sound WHEN ITS TOTALLY SILENT around you!

Same problem, when you're making a call.

But this is only noticable if it's really totally silent around you and i think this might be related to the problem, cell phones tend to make "noices" to other speakers too... maybe this is related...

But the cam noice is more loud! Although, since I dont make any videos with the cell, it not that big of a deal for me! I'm keeping the phone,...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sur1k:
sxxorp,

my fault.:D

himuraken,

thanks for the report. And sorry for my poor reading skills :o

About the noise when the screen is on. Yep, I had the same problem. Turn the screen on, place the device near your ear and here it is (for better experience listen to that "hi-tech music" from the backside of the mini pro).

Still no news from the service...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sxxorp:
Sur1k: No prob :D

Just inform us, when sth happens. :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] F157:
Right, you can fix mic settings by software - I wasn't in the topic too much, but the sensitivity has been changed in CM7, correct?

But in the case of SK17 the noise comes from some hardware part inside the phone - having the noise in the videos (recorded through the mic) is only a symptom, not a root cause.

I don't say you can not fix the issue by a software update (maybe it's possible with changing voltages or something like that?!), but I'm pretty sure fixing some mic settings will not solve the root cause.
