Really, still no Facebook integration? My phone still hasn't recieved it :(
[Xperia Play General] TheAugust:
I did a manual search from within the settings to update.

The additions do seem thin, with glaring omissions... I hope this update wasn't a means to prevent further attempts at unlocking the bootloader. Why so much R800x hate?
[Xperia Play General] hairdewx:
Can you elaborate on the unlocking attempt? Do you have a valid unlock key and now it doesn't work? :eek:
[Xperia Play General] Dyelon:
Question: before updating, I had the the beta version of swype installed and I prefer it to this verizon version....is there anyway I can restore my swype
[Xperia Play General] paxChristos:
Didn't have an unlocked bootloader, was trying imsi code off network info tools...

On the sony ericsson website it gave me a code, and I posted to soon...

No Xloud that I can see
[Xperia Play General] aj522:
I relocked my bootloader and tried twice to update, it says update failed both times.
[Xperia Play General] Cl8rs:
I tried that, it just stays at "please wait while checking for updates". Help?
[Xperia Play General] Dyelon:
I just edited my post above...anybody have a solution?

Either way....what do you guys think of this version of swype
[Xperia Play General] hatcyl:
Google Talk Video Support?

Can you check?
[Xperia Play General] TheAugust:
Without root, I don't believe there is a way to remove the newly-loaded Swype. Does anyone know if abd could be used to replace the versions? Until it's removed, I don't think you'll be able to use the beta client. Don't quote me on this, though.

There is indeed a video icon next to names within Google Talk, so it appears to be available. (I thought that was a 2.3.4 addition, though...?)
[Xperia Play General] Cl8rs:
Got the update :)

I also got an app called Media Server. Apparently with that, you can access your phones media on your local network through virtually any device.
[Xperia Play General] Mills00013:
Can some one please pull the update down from SEUS and make a flashtool compatible ftf file for the people who are unlocked or need a restore option?

PM me if you think you can help but need me to walk you through the process. You'll need to have a locked bootloader and SEUS installed.
[Xperia Play General] hatcyl:
Will this allow us with unlocked bootloaders to update?
[Xperia Play General] AzumaK:
I can confirm autobrightness is fixable now! No more flickering while holding the phone still while inside. I also noticed Media Server, and Books might be new or updated. It was at the end of my GO Launcher, don't even remember if I had it before, lol. Also, the Xperia app doesn't launch when opening the gamepad on the desktop, a welcome change to me!

I've only had mine for a week, anyone else notice anything new?
[Xperia Play General] CoconutWillie:
Anybody else notice the much quicker boot time?
[Xperia Play General] ps3taker:

[Xperia Play General] paxChristos:
R800x has different software that the 800i, we verizon users need to use data not wifi :(
[Xperia Play General] aj522:
anyone have any idea why the update keeps failing? tried 4 times now, downloads the update, tries to install then restarts saying "update failed" i'm rooted with a bootloader that I relocked
[Xperia Play General] Mills00013:
Hatcyl, Yea it totally will.

SEUS won't detect my phone because its bootloader is unlocked otherwise I would do it myself. I just don't feel like relocking.
[Xperia Play General] Cl8rs:
I noticed each time I boot up, it opens the clock app and when I click the home button it just opens the clock app. So I tapped the home button in the clock app, and everything is landscape. A reboot fixes the issue, but is anyone else experiencing this?
[Xperia Play General] blkwhk:
It sounds like your phone thinks its docked. Was it plugged in while this was happening,?
[Xperia Play General] blkwhk:
My last comment was on regards to this
[Xperia Play General] Cl8rs:
Yes, but not on a dock.
[Xperia Play General] odst0016:
I noticed after update that I need to download asphalt and the other pre installed games again anyone else experience this.
[Xperia Play General] blkwhk:
Mine does the same thing when I'm using a cheap usb cable. But either easy won't happen when you unplug
[Xperia Play General] blkwhk:
Yeah wtf!?
[Xperia Play General] JM43:
Haven't seen anything try to download on my play. But I've been ignoring software updates since they never did anything.
[Xperia Play General] Dyelon:
I can't believe facebook integration wasn't given to us!

What do you guys use to make up for this? I'm trying Contapps but it's not the greatest app...
[Xperia Play General] Cl8rs:
I know! :mad:

I'm using SyncMyPix, it only syncs your current contacts pictures with their facebook picture :confused:

Anyone have another solution?
[Xperia Play General] One2many:
To disable updates, anyone know if this is still valid?

"To turn OFF future OTA updates, there is a file in the /system/etc/security folder. The file is named "otacerts.zip". Rename it "otacerts.zip.bak", or whatever you want. That will prevent future updates." -dont forget to mount r/w

- edit -

I think it is valid.

I just finished renaming the file and rebooted. When I go to manually update I get this error: "The application Software update (process com.sonyericson.android.fota) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." I'm happy now :-)
[Xperia Play General] TweeterMan:
So here is what we know so far:

1. If your phone is rooted with an unlocked bootloader, the update goes through, but bricks it. Flashtool fixes it. What kind of state is your phone in after Flashtool? Is it still unlocked/rooted? Is it Android 2.3.3 after using Flashtool?

2. If you are unlocked and rooted and you relock the bootloader, the update fails every time.

3. Stock obviously works.

So what next? And still no changelog...
[Xperia Play General] hairdewx:
Thanks for this. My boot loader is unlocked and I am rooted, and so far the update doesn't have enough to make me want to relock and go back to unrooted stock.
[Xperia Play General] Rogue Leader:
Hmm lets see, the good -

Boot time super fast

Media Server

swype

auto brightness on/off

The bad

My battery life seems to have gone down the toilet

Phone has crash/rebooted twice (once while quitting MC2)

Need to redownload built in games? (Asphalt 6 did, didn't try any others)

Anyone else have issues?
[Xperia Play General] ripley6:
Have been monitoring battery since update and it is still functions as it did before the update, which is very good. No crashes or reboots. Thank goodness for the auto brightness on and off!
[Xperia Play General] blkwhk:
The Good"

Google Video Chat within the Gtalk app

Improved reception

My "Battery Use" never seemed to work before for more then 30 minutes and now it is.

My work email (exchange) continues to sync whereas before it would stop syncing after a while.

The Bad:

2nd the battery life going in the toilet

Edit*

The Good: More available RAM then before, now generally 195MB-210, before it was generally around 150mb

The Bad: They snuck google books onto my phone as a system app.
[Xperia Play General] Rogue Leader:
I'm hoping this is merely a matter of the phone needing to recalibrate itself to the battery. So far this morning its been a little more normal.

Last night I went from full charge to 80% after playing MC2 for about 30 minutes. Thats pretty fast. As well my battery went from full to almost dead in the day when I barely even used it more than 2-3 short phonecalls and looking up something on the internet for a few minutes.
[Xperia Play General] hairdewx:
Can you get root back after updating?
[Xperia Play General] Rogue Leader:
I haven't rooted my phone. Generally I don't root/mess with devices I rely on, so since this is my only cellphone I keep it stock.
[Xperia Play General] ripley6:
Glad you posted this. I thought more ram was available after the update, but thought maybe I had lost it.
[Xperia Play General] meleii:
So far I have noticed...

1. Media sync

2. G-books

3. No noticable change in battery

4. Ram for me is now around 230 mb at all times. Used to be around 200

5. Fbook seems to not close completely now and app size is growing dramatically. Dl size is under 8 mb but now just app (not including cache or data) is 49 mb.

6. AUTO BRIGHTNESS DISABLE!!!

7. Screen no longer flickers at me.

8. Better signal for call and 3g

9. Wifi seems stronger

These are just some things I noticed.
[Xperia Play General] Rogue Leader:
To update mine,

I noticed the screen doesn't flicker anymore either, so they must have updated how the auto brightness works as well as allowing it to be disabled.

Also ever since Modern Combat 2 crashed the phone and reset it, the battery life has been great, possibly even better than before.

Overall I give this update an A+ once the bugs work themselves out over a day or 2 lol.
[Xperia Play General] hairdewx:
Has anyone taken up Mills00013's offer?
[Xperia Play General] Mills00013:
No. No one has yet.
[Xperia Play General] HankKing:
flashtool compatible ftf yet?
[Xperia Play General] ryocoon:
SEUS is not detecting any new update. I tried with a locked phone and all it offers is the old 2.3.2, so no update through SEUS. Which is really disappointing to be honest.
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NanoNoodle:
I have just installed the Megatron Rom and the Franco Kernel on my LG P500/LG Optimus One. After installing I rebooted the device and after 5 minutes of the start up screen it said something like "Battery overheated. Automatically shutting down device for safety" :eek:. I have tried cooling the battery down and then trying again but it still says the overheat message.

Please help me with the problem.

Thanks
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] InfiniteRisen:
What cpu frequencies are you on?
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] royal.tarun:
re flash kernel .

remember to wipe cache ,dalvik cache and battery stats.
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gremaldin:
The battery must have overheated because you must have set the clock speed to 806MHz. And I bet you must have enabled the option to set the clock speed on reboot too, otherwise your phone would have worked fine after you cooled it and rebooted it. So turn on your phone, immediately reduce the frequency back to the normal 600MHz, see if it still overheats. If it doesn't, slowly increase the clock speed to a max of 748 or something, that is if you feel that 600 is too laggy for you (for me its fine). Whenever you overclock your processor, never go straight for the maximum clock speed. As it is, 806 is an unstable frequency (its more than 33% higher than the normal clock speed) and will cause the phone to reboot itself, and it will greatly decrease the life of your processor. Always increase the clock speed in small increments and see if it can be handled by your phone. Never use a clock speed directly just because it works fine for something else. Even though these processors come off the same assembly line, they aren't completely identical. Also, never set the option to set clock speeds on reboot, unless you have used the clock speed for several days and is sure it will not cause any problems.

If you haven't overclocked your processor, then maybe you should try flashing the original firmware back and take it to a service center.
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NanoNoodle:
I haven't set any CPU rates because I am only up to the option where you have to enter you country, date, etc.
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gremaldin:
Did this problem come immediately after you flashed the new ROM? Then try to flash another one. If its a software problem, then it should solve it. If the battery still overheats while flashing or on other ROMs, then try to flash the stock firmware using KDZ. I remember reading somewhere that we can flash using KDZ without battery, but I'm not sure, so do proper research before doing that..... then take your phone to a service center
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeyxl:
this also brings up a question ive been meaning to ask you guys, are gel cases known to heat up the phone, or trap the heat?
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NanoNoodle:
I have switched back to the old kernel that i'm using and it's working fine.

---------- Post added at 05:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:48 PM ----------

I'm using a case (I think it's gel) and it's not really trapping heat. It doesn't seem to be the problem with the overheated battery though.

allright, thanks!

[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dancingfins:
Hey I'm a new user here. I've experienced the same problem after flashing a kernel uploaded on the website as well. I'm using an LG Optimus One as well, and as suggested, I've wiped cache ,dalvik cache and battery stats but it doesn't help at all, and I do not have another kernel on my sd card. Any suggestions guys? :(
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xx Jafours xX:
Here’s the reason for anyone of you who is facing this over-heating problem with your p500 or any other p50* phone: your Kernel is NOT compatible with your ROM. Colors will likely be displayed properly, but the over-heating problem will be persistent, and will shut-down your phone as soon as it’s booted. There’s a very easy solution to this problem; however, it will involve installing another ROM which is compatible with that Kernel (or back to your original ROM). I’d suggest you do some research on the ROM you are using with that Kernel, and to get a compatible one flashed, or just to get the previous ROM installed on it again. Follow the following steps.

1. Plug-in your phone to its charger. The ‘over-heating’ sign will disappear.

2. Open your internet (if you have installed the ROM and have done a complete data-reset, just connect it to the Wi-Fi.)

3. Install your previous ROM back to get your phone back to normal and not get that ‘over-heating’ sign again. (Hopefully you know it! If not, PM and tell me.)

4. Now, if you want a different ROM installed, you’d be better off installing one that comes WITH a Kernel. Separate ROMs and Kernels are for experienced users; hence, sticking with those which come with both wouldn’t hurt until you are aware of what you’re doing and know how to handle any problems that may occur.

If you have any questions, please ask. I am extremely busy with exams, but still managed to get this post written.

Note: No CPU frequencies or anything had caused the problem.

Good luck!
[HTC Sensation] BTaylor927:
Hi,

I bought an O2 sensation and S-OFFed it and tried to unlock it via the thread in the development forum. Method 1 didn't work, so I tried method 2.

Since then, however, I have, regardless of the sim I've tried, received a no signal error. I thought it might still be sim locked, but nowhere does it seem to indicate this, and in Phone Status, it shows my mobile number despite not having any signal.

I tried flashing an RUU to see if that helped, but no dice. I should point out, aside from the carrier lock, it seemed unbranded and didn't require any goldcard use.

Can someone suggest what I can try? This is driving me a bit mental!

[T-Mobile LG G2x] babymatteo:
You have to be rooted buddy. Which Android OS are you currently running? If you're running 2.3.3 aka Gingerbread all you have to do is flash ClockworkMod recovery, then flash any rooted ROM of your liking.

If you're on 2.2.2 aka Froyo, all you need is Superoneclick. This is know as the one click root method.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Joseg1320:
What do you do after your rooted?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ZeroT| Demented:
on tmobile atleast tethering is free from the phone and im sure all i have is the 2 gig plan i didnt pay for "tethering"
[T-Mobile LG G2x] babymatteo:
You just have to go into Settings>Wireless&Network>USB Tethering

I think that's how get into enabling WIFI tether. I use MIUI Launcher so its a bit different.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] edekalil:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Joseg1320:
So once your phone is rooted, you can tether without being charged by T-mobile?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Mister Hat:
He has no idea what he's talking about. That makes no sense..

Tethering is free. At least on my plan..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] C0dy:
I tether all the time and have never been charged extra. Rooted and unrooted.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] LordButtersI:
On a CM7 based rom tethering and hotspot are available in the settings, otherwise there's a root only app in the market that will let you do both.

Neither option involves paying extra

Hi, guy. I have been spending all my free time trying to root my g2. But i can't even start rooting:). Cause i can't set up adb on computer. I am doing everything right, watched tens of youtube instructions but nothing can help. I have extracted android-sdk_r12-windows.zip file on my local C disk. connected the phone launched cmd.exe but it is not showing the serial number as it was supposed to. I am new to android world switched from iOS world. I am already ready to give up with rooting. can anybody have any instructions how to downgrade to froyo and root the G2. Any help will be appreciated.
[G2 and Desire Z General] martonikaj:
No need to use full ADB afaik. There are mini-adb programs that don't require a full SDK install.

You can also accomplish things using the terminal emulator app on the phone instead of the cmd prompt on the computer.

[G2 and Desire Z General] sturabekov:
Where can i find drivers for G2? i could not find one neither on htc support website nor t-mobile site. and i also updated PATH variables.
[G2 and Desire Z General] c00ller:
I don't know where to find JUst the drivers, but I know if you install HTC Sync, the software used to sync phone contents with HTC Sense ROMs, it will also install the drivers you need along with it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Ditamae:
All the links on the official HTC site are broken, but I found the Sync software here:

http://htc-sync.software.informer.com/

After the initial setup, I found that I could uninstall the actual Sync software and leave the drivers with no problems.
[G2 and Desire Z General] sturabekov:
The links are not broken. They are designed for european version of te website. That's why we can't find them:)
[G2 and Desire Z General] Ditamae:
I don't think so... I had no problem using them myself a few months ago.
[G2 and Desire Z General] killj0y:
I just googled htc sync and went to thee link for htc's site boom done! Did it list week. Ps I rooted following the sticky for rooting using gfree no adb. It was a cinch. :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] Ditamae:
I had the same experience a few months ago, but last night I could not track down the official Sync software from HTC's website. If you don't mind, could you link me to where you found it? Just to ease my curiosity... this is bugging me. ;)

Edit: Nevermind - found it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Karakoram2:
Made hard on purpose. The newer the g2 the harder it is. The path and making sure giving permission (esp on w7 cpus) is imp.
[Droid Incredible General] BerkleyJ:
I "obtained" a Bionic so I'm letting my girl friend use my trusty old Inc. Anyway, I flashed the RUU zip for stock 2.2, so that it has Stock everything, no root, etc. I left S-OFF.

It still hasn't received the notification for the GB update. Is it STILL rolling out or did I mess something up?
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
Its still rolling out. Or you can get it now from the dev section. Its the official gingerbread ruu. There is an exe and a PB32IMG.zip farther down the page.
