Does anyone happen to know if there is a keyboard on the marketplace that has arrow keys like a normal keyboard? I am hoping the be easier to go back & edit text. Howerever I can't harddly use the backspace key to delete text now with the default browser.

Paid app but have full size cursor keys, many layouts and tons of twekaing options. I'm using it daily and IMHO is worth every penny.

Thumb keyboard is a must, can use it with a normal layout or thumb friendly with text shortcuts like www.,.com etc

I've got a query guys. I have a 512mb HD2 on 1.66 spl, now i'm not able to hspl my phone and when i power it on its just a white screen but i can get into the bootloader. I'm trying to flash an original rom to it by USB but it fails cos of communication error so i'm trying through SD but i keep getting the radio_v2 fail. Any help would be appreciated, thanks ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] floating_point_unit:
You sound a bit unclear so let me ask you.

Have you tried installing HSPL? (HSPL4.zip from HSPL master thread).

I had similar problem as you (communication error with SPL). With HSPL it's there no more.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stephen:
Download the orgional rom for your phone, extract the .nbh file from the exe. Rename the .nbh to leoimg.nbh, put it on your sd card. Next go into the boot loader and it will wipe any spl / hspl you had on your phone and put on the orgional OS.

Make sure you download the correct rom. This should restore your phone back to orgional factory settings and let you start again!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
Radio fail is a fairly common fault, sadly rarely fixed, and often also prevents spl/hspl from flashing too. Of course try the above suggestions, and also try chilling the phone in the fridge for half an hour too, with an image on the SD card ready to insert the moment you get the phone out.

there are dozens of this type thread, and very few successful fixes. Good luck.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pajiba:
Yeah tried installing hspl but i always get error message

Tried this also but it flashes until i get the radio_v2-fail

Will give the fridge option a try
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
i should mention its best to put it in a sealed plastic bag whilst its in the fridge, try to avoid condensation.

Does that camera now have added features like digital zoom.

Can you list all the features that aren't in the official update PR.

The arc had a tonne of new features.
[Xperia Play General] narflynn619:
ummm, i don't have my bootloader unlocked.. only rooted it when still in 2.3.2 then OTA to 2.3.3. I guess I'll wait for the OTA then...

Generic US update available Updating now. BTW im in Asia now so only SEUS shows the update
[Xperia Play General] ozzmanj1:
Noticed my phone is nowbon 2.3.3. I was rooted with an unlocked bootloader on verizon. All my apps are the same as before. No bloatware. And I still have root. Is my bootloader still unlocked? It says semc in the begining. Can anyone tell me if I have lost my unlocked bootloader? Also wondering why I still have root access.
[Xperia Play General] ozzmanj1:
Crap. Just noticed I still have superuser app installed however I am unable to turn r/w to r/o. Is there a way to root 2.3.3 for R800x? At least I don't have any bloatware verizon crapps.
[Xperia Play General] WelshPaul:
Waiting for OTA as i don't wan't to lose root.
[Xperia Play General] Cat_On_Droid:
I have a rooted 2.3.2 PLAY, can i go from 2.3.2 Flashing to 2.3.4 using FASTBOOT?

Or is there a way to flash on my play?
[Xperia Play General] WelshPaul:
No impossible at present as there is no 2.3.4
[Xperia Play General] Cat_On_Droid:
I meant the xLoud update, sorry

EDIT : I checked for software updates and found one on my phone (about phone, etc) I'm using 2.3.2 and if I do a software update from my phone will it BRICK my phone?
[Xperia Play General] WelshPaul:
Pretty sure you will lose root, the xLoud update is not available OTA at present time so i'm guessing if you go from 2.3.2 with root and flash the stock 2.3.3 xLoud rom via fastboot you will lose root.

You will brick your phone if it has an unlocked bootloader, if you do not then you can update OTA and you will retain root but the current 2.3.3 update available over the air is v145 and not v368 which is the xloud version of 2.3.3
[Xperia Play General] Cat_On_Droid:
Thanks, I have an unlocked bootloader. Bye, once the v368 is available for flashing can i do it via fastboot?
[Xperia Play General] WelshPaul:
If you have an unlocked bootloader i would perform the autoroot method, that way whenever you flash a new rom root will always be there for you.

And yes you can update via fastboot with an unlocked bootloader, the 2.3.3 v368 uk official firmware is already available for download on this site to flash with fastboot but i'm almost positive you will lose root if you do as it's a stock rom unless you perform the autoroot hack/mod.
[Xperia Play General] Cat_On_Droid:
O

Thanks for being helpful Paul, just a couple of final questions, how do I autoroot?do I have to place v368 firmware with the autoroot in the fastboot folder, open command window and then what? Or what I said was totally wrong? xP
[Xperia Play General] WelshPaul:
Oh silly me i forgot you can relock your bootloader so you can perform an update via SE officially if you want to do so.

Auto Rooting: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=16712517#post16712517

Simply follow that guide and once done download the v368 firmware from this site and put it in the firmware folder located in fastboot directory and flash.
[Xperia Play General] WelshPaul:
If i was you i would just relock the bootloader and do an OTA update from a rooted 2.3.2 to 2.3.3 v145 and wait for the OTA of v368.

Then when you have v368 unlock the boot loader again if you so wish but that's just me. :)
[Xperia Play General] Cat_On_Droid:
Isnt it easier to flash ? Can you tell me if it was correct on how i was gonna fastb00t? @_@
[Xperia Play General] WelshPaul:
It's easy whichever option you choose to be honest, OTA is easier once you have a rooted device as all you do is choose a few options on the handset and it does it all for you.

If you choose fastboot then you need to download firmware files, download fastboot unless you already have it, grab a usb cable, use a laptop or computer and the same for SE's official suite....

First thing you need to do is decide on the option you would prefer to use and go from there.

If you insist on using fastboot then to retain root whilst using the latest version of rom then your only option at present is to flash the Auto Root image to your handset first using flashboot (Unlocked bootloader needed for auto root) then flash the v368 rom again using flashboot (auto root will then apply root automatically for you).
[Xperia Play General] Cat_On_Droid:
sorry for being annoying,but where is flashboot ?
[Xperia Play General] ozzmanj1:
My phone auto updated and I was rooted and had an unlocked bootloader and my phone didn't brick. Weird
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
Your phone didnt update then, if it did and you had an unlocked bootloader it would of :rolleyes:
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
Right flash the .tft file using flashtool, you do not need and unlocked bootloader to do that...

If you want to root, you need to unlock your bootloader, grab doomlords auto root image, copy it to the fastboot folder and type in "fastboot boot boot.img" for the auto root, or "fastboot flash boot boot.img" for the new kernel.

OMG :rolleyes:
[Xperia Play General] ozzmanj1:
Forgotvto ask, so can anyone tell me if bootloader is now locked due to the ota? Also titanium still works, which is weird. However I can access tye system folders but only tovwee I cannot maoe changes. Any ideas?
[Xperia Play General] ozzmanj1:
Well it did update. I had been getting an update notice for two days. Then noticed my phones infobreads 2.3.3
[Xperia Play General] brochador:
Arrghh, I can't wait for the OTA update of this.. I really want that xLoud..
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
It does make the phone much louder, but now you get distortion in sound at max volume so you will end up turning it down anyway :rolleyes: lol
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
2.3.3 has been out for months n months, you probably already had it, this is a firmware update, not an OS Version update :p
[Xperia Play General] brochador:
does it work also for headphone?
[Xperia Play General] ozzmanj1:
No. I went from 2.3.2 to 2.3.3. Verizons update justvcame out
[Xperia Play General] Rogue Leader:

[Xperia Play General] Roshi69:
I can confirm that the gallery widget DOES WORK whith the keypad slid out :)
[Xperia Play General] narflynn619:
You guys think this update will be available via OTA?

No sign of availability yet here in the Philippines but it is already showing up in PC Companion, though I need to preserve root.

I think xLoud will just break the phone. The dual speakers of the XPlay are already awesome--loud, crisp, and clear.
[Xperia Play General] brochador:
xloud will break our phone? haha.. I just want to try this on my headphone.
[Xperia Play General] SenseOffender:
Wait, really? I haven't seen anything as of yet. I went to software update, and it said my version was up to date.
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
FYI xLoud is for the speakers only, they do not affect headset volume in any way :)
[Xperia Play General] The_Newtype:
I think Verizon owners need their own thread about their update, as it's different than the one most of us are waiting for. This is all becoming a little chaotic.

Anyway, anyone care to comment on some of the other unadvertised features in the update?
[Xperia Play General] narflynn619:
what i meant was not literal, imagine a very loud phone mimicking some stupid China phone with its cracked sound.. it's awesome already and you don't have to make it louder..

and it doesn't work with headphones; only with the loud speaker
[Xperia Play General] danieljamie:
I can confirm that in the UK, on my Orange Xperia Play, bootloader locked, on a rooted 2.3.3 generic UK, Sony Ericsson PC Companion says I can update to the 4.0.A.2.368 update (would probs lose root so I will wait for OTA)
[Xperia Play General] Cat_On_Droid:
xLoud made PS1 emulators PERFECT outside!

Flashed with 2.9.1 ,from 2.3.2 to 2.3.3 R00ted with the v384.

No more root at the moment.
[Xperia Play General] subcu1ture:
Can someone confirm any new features other than the ones listed on the official update post. The Arc got a whole lot of upgrades than what was listed in their update.

Are their tweaks to the camera like digital zoom etc?
[Xperia Play General] The_Newtype:
I still don't see this on SE-PCC. I'm running generic UK .145, and nothing.
[Xperia Play General] subcu1ture:
Sony Ericsson in my country has told me that this update is to be bundled with the 2.3.4 update in September.

I am thinking that the regions that get the current update probably will take a bit longer to get the 2.3.4 update if they aren't bundling it.

No signal

I just did the update for the .368 fw, but when the phone rebooted, it comes up with a yellow exclamation mark in the top left with no service, but I can see signal, I tried it with multiple sims (the phones unlocked) to no avail, I flashed the previous rom .145 I think, and it solved the problem, but I really liked the new update, so I relocked the bootloader and did it OTA, but I'm still having the problem, I can't be bothered to unlock the bootloader again, and downgrade to .145 so I'm wondering if theres a fix for this, the sims I've tried are orange and giffgaff (which uses O2's network)

thanks,

zak
[Xperia Play General] WelshPaul:
I had this, and i had no signal showing at first although i could make a call.

I rebooted phone after removing the battery, set the date and time continued to setup the phone and it sorted itself out on it's own.

Working fine now.

[Xperia Play General] WelshPaul:

[Xperia Play General] lstreet:
Q1. Is there a working root for this new firmware update (4.0.A.2.368) + (locked Bootloader) ?...............

Im currently running generic uk firmware 2.3.3, rooted, with a locked bootloader.

I know it can be done with flash tool and a unlocked bootloader but was enquiring if a new ginger break tool was going to be released or if OTA update works / is available and dosnt lose root ?

thanks a bunch for your time and support in advance, sorry if ive missed something already mentioned
[Xperia Play General] WelshPaul:
I am all out of ideas sorry. :(

No

Well unless a new exploit can be found then no way for ginger break or any other tool to root, The latest firmware is not available OTA yet so that is not an option at present and when it does become available someone will have to try it in order to find out if root is still there.

I have decided to unlock my boot loader as the only thing you can't use is track id and as i don't use it anyway no real loss for me, plus you can relock the boot loader anyway you just loose the DRM Cert's and to date only Track Id misses them.

Your Welcome.
[Xperia Play General] kershner25:
How do I get this update on Verizon? Every time I try to do a software update on my brand new Play it times out and says the network isn't available. I'm on 2.3.2 right now.

The Facebook "like" button in the stock music player, also wont work without the DRM certificates :p
[Xperia Play General] CapNM77:
No update for me I'm in Los Angeles. 2.3.2 Verizon.
[Xperia Play General] Rogue Leader:
You're not gonna get this update on Verizon.

Verizon will be releasing their own version once they go through it and have it ready. Often they will remove many SE features, such as the phone has and is missing out of the box.

Don't hold your breath though, I don't anticipate anything until late September.
[Xperia Play General] WelshPaul:
Yea because it uses track id, but as i have removed both track id and the facebook like button app it's no loss for me. :D
[Xperia Play General] Dousan:
So are people updating with unlocked bl's without bricking? Have Sony done some coding to compensate for the mess they left after giving people unlocked bootloader choise but bricking when OTA?

Regards Dousan...
[Xperia Play General] WelshPaul:
You can relock the bootloader again after unlocking, this allows you to update OTA or via pc companion. :p
[Xperia Play General] Logseman:
Seemingly PC companion doesn't update bootloader-unlocked phones now. Good thing.

BTW, the update includes Qriocity music and video stores. We without DRM certificates won't be able to make any of those 2 work, just like TrackID. Xperia Hot Shots works fine though :-p
[Xperia Play General] Dousan:
Yes I know :p it was just that it sounded like a couple of people had updated without re-locking :confused:

Regards Dousan...

E: what about spotify would that work after an unlocked bl? At the moment I'm using grooveshark wich works fine with the bl unlocked.
[Xperia Play General] WelshPaul:
I wouldn't pay for anything which is locked down to a single device anyway so no real loss, Need to find out how to remove Qriocity now!
[Xperia Play General] ncaissie:

Actually it's used much more widely in Sony products, I was surprised to see Bravia TV sets, PS3, newer smartphones, and who knows what... but, sadly I can't use it anyways. If you buy many Sony products, Qriocity could be a dealbreaker.

To remove the qriocity bloatware just delete SemcSnpStore.apk from system/app folder.
