I also got nothing new after updating and lost all my apps and settings. All I got was a uefa app.

I've tried to update it several times after, not only with pc companion but also with that sony update tool. I really pissed me off because I was expecting the new features and got nothing and in the process lost all my apps.
[Xperia Play General] Cat_On_Droid:
You guys should download Flash tool 2.9.1, download the new firmware 4.0 with new features.

To flash, drag the 4.0 firmware to firmware folder in the flashtool.

Then go to drivers folder, install GORDENS GATE DRIVERS, connect your phone and press ok.

You are ready to flash, shut down your phone, connect usb and press BACK until you see green LED.

Click FLASH in X10 flashtool, highlight all the .sin files, the click flash

Make sure USB debugging is ON under applications, and unknown sources on

AND most important thing, UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER IS REQUIRED!!
[Xperia Play General] Dousan:
No need for unlocked bootloader to be able to flash with flashtool thats only to use fastboot to flash and such and one more thing to ad, remember to tick wipe data aswell ;)

Regards Dousan...
[Xperia Play General] PMGX:
Thanks got it working now!
[Xperia Play General] siddharthsai:
So this 4.0 update is not available via OTA or PC Companion ?
[Xperia Play General] Dousan:
It should be available with pc companion. I just flashed it because pc companion wouldn't detect my phone when trying to update.

Regards Dousan...
[Xperia Play General] siddharthsai:
Same here. Now downloading flash tool. I can use the flashtool with a locked bootloader right? Coz I'm guessing its an official rom and it won't cause any conflicts. And any link to the drivers?
[Xperia Play General] Dousan:
Yes flashtool can be used with a locked bootloader. Drivers for flashtool is provided with the download. Just install ggsetup.exe. Then you're good to go.

Yes it's an official Rom made into a flashable file.

Regards Dousan...
[Xperia Play General] siddharthsai:
Thank you dousan. One more question. Do you recommend a full wipe? I'm on 2.3.3 already. But 3.xx
[Xperia Play General] Dousan:
Yes it's recommended to wipe data when using flashtool or flashing in general to avoid problems. Just tick the wipe data before flashing, it's in the same window as the .sin files are shown.

Regards Dousan...
[Xperia Play General] siddharthsai:
Once again, thank you! Successfully flashed. Love the themes
[Xperia Play General] Dousan:
You're welcome :)

Regards Dousan...
[Xperia Play General] KoolMoeDee KMD:
Could someone please let me know if the update that includes xloud is avaliable in Australia yet?

Thanks
[Xperia Play General] The_Newtype:
1) Anyone have any idea why my R800a flashed to UK Generic R800i is not showing an update OTA or via PC Companion? The whole reason I flashed it to this FW is to get updates in a timely manner, and now, none are showing. I'm running 2.3.3 if that makes a difference.

2) How do I know if my bootloader is unlocked or not?

Thanks!
[Xperia Play General] siddharthsai:
As far as I know they've pulled the update and are planning a full 2.3.4 release later. You can download the 4.xx and flash using the flashtool. No root or bootloader unlocking required.
[Xperia Play General] Pyrocat:
Has anyone had problems running the update? It worked last time round for me on updating to 2.3.3 using PC companion. Now it doesn't seemt to work- I think its because its got a problem with MTP(media transfer mode) but it works fine in mass storage mode. Does anyone have any suggestions? Reinstall pc companion or something I can clear on the phone? Cache or something?

thanks
[Xperia Play General] subcu1ture:
Unmount your SD card. Connect via MTP and update.

MTP has problems with the SD card but works fine without the SD card and the update only needs to be installed on internal memory.
[Xperia Play General] Pyrocat:
Thanks, as soon as I did that it worked fine :)
[Xperia Play General] The_Newtype:
Some other things I noticed:

-new font/design for in-call menu

-sms/email "folders" now show the number of unread messages on the homescreen.

-conversation view in messages now shows a different shade of blue for the person you are receiving messages from.

-call log now has a solid square "phone" button next to the log to indicate that it can in fact be pushed to place a call.

-if you have album art (and you should!), music player background slightly mimics the color of it.

-I personally feel like the battery life is improved.

I was using the generic uk firmaware, but am now using the generic "world" firmware. Some changes I mentioned may be do to that FW and not 4.0 specifically. Also, xLoud is really nice!
[Xperia Play General] jdz7t8:
Guys I have updated too but I am not seeing any of the changes mentioned in this thread. What's going on? It says I have 2.33 installed but I dont see xloud or any of those app- nothing?
[Xperia Play General] subcu1ture:
You don't have the 4.0 firmware update ;)
[Xperia Play General] jdz7t8:
yeah, thanks for replying, I realized that its not out in Canada yet. Will Gingerbreak root my 2.33 play? I'm actually trying it now.
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
No. Gingerbreak won't work on 2.3.3.
[Xperia Play General] jdz7t8:
so how do i root 2.33. Ive seen lots of people say they have 2.33 rooted. How did they do it?
[Xperia Play General] Cat_On_Droid:
We used autoroot. Some used super one click
[Xperia Play General] jdz7t8:
Thank you so much! Which one would you suggest i use? which one is easier.
[Xperia Play General] dsswoosh:
These work with locked bootloaders?
[Xperia Play General] FK1983:
No, you need unlocked bootloader.
[Xperia Play General] Cat_On_Droid:
AutoRoot

just Flash it using FastB00T :)
[Xperia Play General] narflynn619:
Update via OTA (the xLoud one) just became available here in the Philippines.. :D

EDIT:

Done updating via OTA. I still have root. :D
[Xperia Play General] Deoxlar:
Yea you keep root when you ota update. For people on 2.3.3 without root, you need to flash back to 2.3.2 and then root. After that just ota update until your at the newest version.
[Xperia Play General] ps3taker:
On holiday in Canada. Updated over wifi and kept root. Update was ca 82mb - it must have recognized my mobile provider and added its three app into the system. New status switch and favourites call log widgets are too big. Themes change background in some apps. Love the new screen switch off annimation. Sd apps keep place holders with their internal names on the home screen until they load.

[Xperia Play General] ps3taker:
In the list of app there is button in the bottom right corner opposite sort order one. Clicking it adds uninstall tip for non system apps.

Play on devices or connected devices offers to use play as media server with compatible devices like bravia and PS3

The white space when writing SMS is brutal now, after the latest update. You can't even see what you're replying too anymore.

Also, a lot of the stock ringtones appear to be missing.
[Xperia Play General] metcard:
They brought back the x10 2.1 calendar !

I really hated the stock calendar app and find the new one much more useful.
[Xperia Play General] FK1983:
Yeah, I noticed this, a bit weird :rolleyes:
[Xperia Play General] subcu1ture:
I just noticed they have made the ambient light sensor not as sensitive as before :)

[Xoom General] Computer Dreams:
Anyone elses XOOM super Laggy...any ways for the fix
[Xoom General] cheetah2k:
Yep, I think theres lag in every Android tablet I've played with. Googles min specs just aren't high enough for Honeycomb... Hopefully a bit more RAM and Quad Cores will fix it...
[Xoom General] ZanshinG1:
You know how you can install crappy software that runs at boot which will make even a core i7 with a good GPU and lots of RAM start lagging?

Yeah. Like that. Don't install lots of crap and expect the OS to handle it.
[Xoom General] bobblack:
+rep for this (well the equivalent... no rep on XDA?). The Xoom is a computer like any other computer.
[Xoom General] ZanshinG1:
I've seen logs from users with 40+ boot services while trying to diagnose field issues with my apps.

The scary thing is I think it's more common than people who are careful about watching app behavior/installing minimal apps.

To make it worse, there's a lot of crappy software for Android. It's easy to cruft up your device.

Sometimes I almost wish for Apple's walled garden and non-multitasking app switching...
[Xoom General] Kippui:
+1 +1 +1 sir
[Xoom General] ryan562:
Custom rom for me such as team tiamat's latest takes away much of the lag. I also run adw ex launcher which pretty much takes away all the lag.
[Xoom General] Dogmann:
Hi all,

Well from day one i installed ADW EX as my launcher and only ever install apps i actually need and use as opposed to installing as many as i can because i can. So far i have yet to see any of the issues some users report and have never seen any lag, crashes or freezes maybe I've just been lucky but my Xoom has done all i wanted and more without issue so far.

[Xoom General] sirius b:
I have over 100 apps on my xoom, stock 3.2 and it lags after being up for 6+ days. I think some devices need to be reset. I still had horrible keyboard lag on 3.1 after that update so I did a reset and it went away. Since the 3.2 all lag in the app drawer, home screens in different orientations, and opening of apps and menus is gone for me.
[Xoom General] Computer Dreams:
I barely have any apps on my XOOM
[Xoom General] okantomi:
I have almost 300 apps, use ADWEX and Hammerhead Rom--everything zips right along. It's true that it begins to lag just a bit when I go a long time w/o rebooting.
[Xoom General] ryan562:
Yessir hammerhead rom + adw launcher is a match made in heaven. My Xoom seems to fly with this combo
[Xoom General] riz157:
im experiencing some serious lag. Not many apps installed but plenty of lag time.
[Xoom General] shrisha:
Will suggest to try custom rom. It's easy. Before that may be some maintenance could help. Wipe cash and stuff. Meanwhile was thinking to try v6 supercharged script to illuminate lagging. Is there anyone have tried?
[Xoom General] omnia1994:
I m in stock but i nvr experience any lag .. except long boot time
[Xoom General] fondoo:
its annoying. ive also experience this on my xoom wifi and i dont even have alot of apps installed. i have to reboot the tablet atleast once a day so it doesnt lag badly.
[Xoom General] hammer4203:
I noticed it too. It appears to have apps just sitting in a tray. If you open it, it never really gets dumped. Multitask just isn't killing these apps when idled for hours. If I am not switching between apps after an hour why keep it up?
[Xoom General] okantomi:
Just like any other pc, just close 'em. I use Active Apps widget-just check it when my ram is getting low and close whatever is still active. No need to kill apps that aren't active, though.
[Xoom General] willverduzco:
And how exactly is it laggy? I get almost no lag, ever, on mine. And I've had the pleasure of owning quite a few tablets: XOOM, Galaxy Tab 10.1, iPad, TouchPad, Viewsonic Gtab, and Nook Color. Out of all of them, the XOOM and Tab 10.1 were arguably the most responsive.

Prior to 3.2, GPU performance was horrible when the screen was in upside-down landscape. This resulted in horrible home screen lag. Thankfully, this has now been fixed. Portrait mode is still slow. But at 0 degrees landscape, it's fantastic.
[Xoom General] willverduzco:
Read up on the Android Process Lifecycle before complaining about it. App handling done in a very intelligent manner, optimizing speed and responsiveness. We have tons of memory on the device, so why not leave apps as background cached processes? Plus, as part of the process lifecycle, there's a very limited amount of resources that can be devoted to background processes that do not display an ongoing notification. It's on the order of ~5% CPU utilization.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] waly5:
Hi all, I have a galaxy s and was going to install a new rom. I saved the rom to the sd card and pressed the power button to go into recovery mode, the screen went black as usual but never rebooted and the screen stayed black. I connect it to the pc and it tried to load some driver something to do with "test driver" but anyway the screen stays black and the phone does nothing. Any ideas how to fix this without sending back to Samsung. Thanks for any ideas. Wayne.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gingerbreads:
Does the phone show the samsung logo at the beggining or is it just dead black?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] chamcham737877:
the same problem with me today :( blank screen, no vibration, no download/recovery mode, anything. The only sign of life is when I connect it to my PC, it detects a new device named SEC S5PC110 Test B/D , request a driver
[Galaxy S I9000 General] pikachu01:
You should send it back to Samsung. I'm thinking that its more than a software (ROM) problem when even download/recovery mode isn't working.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hhouter:
Same happened to me, try to get your phone back in restore mode with the three button trick. Amd reinstall the image again... it will work..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] waly5:
mine is just black does nothing except request a driver when i connect it to a pc. SEC S5PC110 TEST B/D. thats all it will do.:mad:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] fahrenheit451:
It is probably the deep sleep coma bug (I've had it ever since I flashed to 2.3.4).

Hold the power button down for 10 seconds and it should reboot the phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hhouter:
Remove the battery, leave the phone disconnected from the PC and get the phone in restore mode. Then when that succeedes, connect the phone to the PC.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] B3nnyTh3KiD:
I heard this problem in other forums when users flash a wrong rom or firmware. Only samsung can repair your device.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] ZeroT| Demented:
Is it possible to have games I installed in my phone be on my external sd card as in the one that is removable because I see no point in having an sd card that I can't really save anything to
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Which rom are you running?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ZeroT| Demented:
Eaglesbloob 2.3.3 v1.08
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
You can edit the /system/etc/vold.fstab file to swap the mount points of the internal and external/removable sdcards. So after you edit it, the mount point of the external/removable card would be /mnt/sdcard and the internal/non-removable card would be /mnt/sdcard/_ExternalSD. I can't figure out a way to change the mount point of the internal card to anything other than that but at least it makes your removable card your primary one which is what you want.
[HTC Sensation] maff1989:
I stumbled across this battery calibration technique while I was pondering this issue last night..

It states here (in step 1.2) that you must charge the battery to 100% (until the battery no longer receives a charge from the USB i.e. 0mA via Current Widget), and THEN wipe the battery stats. Seemed logical.. but did not work for me as the battery never reached 0mA.. as far as Current Widget is concerned, anyway.

New Method:

**DISABLE FASTBOOT**

1. Let the phone die out completely

2. Remove battery, reinsert, and plug in the USB (via outlet, NOT computer USB)

3. Allow the phone to generate a bit of charge (30-45 seconds MAX)

4. VolDown+Power and boot into Recovery.

5. Wipe the battery stats via the Advanced Options menu

6. Unplug the USB WHILE IN recovery

7. Reboot the phone to the Home Screen with USB still unplugged.

8. Once there, plug in the USB.

9. Let the battery charge to 100% (i.e. green LED), and all the way up until Current Widget reads "0mA". This is how you know the battery is FULLY charged. LEAVE THE PHONE ON WHILE IT CHARGES!!

10. POWER OFF the phone with USB still plugged in

11. Unplug the USB, then VolDown+Power and boot into Recovery

12. Perform a second stat-wipe

13. Reboot

By using this method, I noticed the following differences with my Sensation:

- More accurate "battery charging readings" via Battery Indicator (the % goes up incrementally and seems more "stable" while charging).

- Current Widget displays roughly 600mA-800mA while charging, then dies down to about 150-300mA as the charge reaches 100%, as it should.

Potential Fixes:

- The issue with Battery Indicator reading 100% for 15-20 minutes after being unplugged, then quickly shooting down roughly 7-9% per hour with general use

- The issue with rebooting the phone at, let's say, 50% battery power and having it read as 55-60% after it boots

- The issue with charging the phone to 100% (green LED), and having it drop to 99%, then back up to 100%

As of right now, I haven't been able to calibrate the battery to 100% accuracy, but it's much better than before. Will try more testing later on and post results.
[HTC Sensation] DeezNotes:
For me, the biggest difference between the stock ROM and a dev ROM is that on a dev ROM my awake time is always at 100% and that drains my battery more than stock which doesn't keep the phone awake 100% of the time.

I've searched on this issue and asked many questions but people always tell me to wipe battery stats. I'm not really convinced that wiping battery stats will fix my awake issue.
[HTC Sensation] maff1989:
I'm not sure what you mean by "awake issue", but the only thing that a stat-wipe will fix are the battery measurements. That may be a whole other issue right there.
[HTC Sensation] Andresehn:
Which dev rom were you using? 100% awake time is a real problem with the ROM.
[HTC Sensation] DeezNotes:
After posting this, I installed Android Revolution HD to try to figure out what my issue was. On both InsertCoin and Android Revolution (the only 2 ROMs I've used other than stock), when checking my battery usage in Setup I would notice my awake time would be very high. One easy indication was when looking at the graph, the blue line would be solid all the way across - which shouldn't be. That meant the phone wasn't sleeping.

After some serious research, I've narrowed it down to the calendar which is causing the issue. The thing is, I think it may also have to do with one of the Facebook apps as well (in relation to the calendar). I always have Facebook set to not sync at all and HTC Facebook to sync once a day (max) and not sync any calendar items. In my Google account, I also disabled the calendar from syncing. Even turning off auto syncing all together would still result in the issue.

After removing my account from both Facebook apps and verifying Google isn't syncing my calendar, I see things are already a little better. I just charged to 100% in this configuration, so I'm going to do a bit more research before I continue posting about this. I wanted to start another post about it, but I need to gather more info before I do - the flames have been on high around here lately, so I'm not about to post up something before I get at least knee deep in some ish.
[HTC Sensation] Andresehn:
About how long after the phone decided it was charged (green light) did Current widget finally display 0mA? I'm still several hours after hitting 100%, and current widget still shows 5-15mA.
[HTC Sensation] manuelkuhs:
I might give this a try sometime as the inaccuracies in % battery display really bother me. Cheers!
[HTC Sensation] BonesRed:
Current widget and battery monitor widget never actually display 0 MA EVER. What I do is unplug it after the MA reading dips very low and then starts to go up again, about 3 hours max after the first green light

Hey guys,

I want to save some money so I use a app called binu sms.

But I have 2 problems:

When I send a sms I can just see it in the binu outbox, not in the normal sms app or in handcent.

2. When I recieve a sms and want to answer I have to start binu first and type the sms. And its difficult to look up what's in the sms.

So is it possible to m modify the app or handcent so I can enter my answers in this app and making it to send the sms to the right personb with binu and showing thus messages in the history like an normal sms?

I didn't know where to post this. Sry if its not at the right place.

First off if this is answered I am sorry.

I did a lot of searching - I find it hard to believe that it has not been addressed.

I have CM7 on a uSD card. (ROM manager has it as 7-07202011)

I have tried to sideload epubs for Nook App with Calibre.

I have the files in /sdcard/nook/content that is where the files I have downloaded from B&N seem to be.

But they (The ones I sideload) do not show up in the Nook App.

Calibre seemed to put them in /sdcard/Books that location does not work either.

Has anyone been able to sideload free ebooks to CM7 on a uSD Card? (for use in Nook App)

I see an extra file for every ebook in /sdcard/nook/content they are text files with chapter info

File names InfoJson_xxxxxxx

I am booting CM7 from a uSD Card
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clads01:
Not sure then. I can successfully access .epub books placed in MyDocuments. I am also booting CM7 on uSD. One thing I did note, however, is that the pull-down menu for picking magazines, books, my files, etc. in the nook app does not map my touches correctly. I have to touch the selection above the one I actually want.
