.58 is not really meant for Xperia ray but it will probably work just fine. It's meant for Xperia mini pro, Xperia pro and Live with Walkman.

Try using the phone with a different SIM card just to see if this makes any difference. Since it seems to be network related it might work. The newer card, the better.

If you're not possible to get hold of another SIM card, try to disable the PIN lock and see if there's any improvement.

We're currently rolling out a new software (.6x). This one will improve the memory management which should avoid reboots. Might be what you need. Check if you can get it (we just started the roll out so all cannot get it just yet).

@neroyoung I've been running the .58 firmware for the past two days with WCDMA (Auto). Didn't solve the rebooting problem. Did not try to chance the kernel yet, but doomlord's kernel didn't solve it in the past.

@Markus Thanks, I'll be travelling tomorrow so I'll be getting a new sim. I'll let you know how it goes. I'll also try the .6x firmware when it's out.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] neroyoung:
Stock firmware is not the problem,

ok the last thing i could tell you is try to find out background processes and uninstall those software that are not important and runs in background

for that go to

Settings-Application-Management-running and see background unwanted non system processes

Also try scanning and cleaning SD card or replace it with new one or format it and try it fresh, make backup before you format sd card

If this doesn't solve your problem then show your Ray to nearest service center....
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] abhishekcal:
Dear slimfady wat u can try now is that SE has released a new firmware For Ray try to update it to new firmware and see if problem goes or not.

Good Luck..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] slimfady:
After 5 days with the new firmware, I can say that the problem has been resolved. I haven't got any reboot yet. Only downside is that the new firmware can't be rooted yet.

I would like to know whether the fix was in the new radio or the new kernel. I'll try different combos after running with the .62 firmware for a while
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] muffindell:
Reboot new firmware

Hey, I'm on O2 and I have the same problem!

I've read that uninstalling McAffee may help, so thats what I've done today. I've also switched back to GSM (G2) this helps enormously with battery life (I can can 7 days without charge), no reboots yet since I've done this.

I've had the same reboot problem on the previous firmware build and the latest.

The other thing that I and others have noticed is the problem also seems to happen when the signal drops out or is very weak. SE need to get to the bottom of this before they bring out ICS for the RAY.

P.S. just checked phone, rebooted while in pocket, I don't know how much business I,m losing cos of this, I'll have to take the SIM card lock off...... Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Can anyone here help me by giving the .APK file for these Games, Real Racing 2 version.000314, Need for Speed-Shift, and Asphalt Adrenaline 6 HD ver 1.0.8

Thanks

[Android Apps and Games] DominatingSystem:
Look at the Market. There you will find this
[Android Apps and Games] augustya:
Well I did try to download it from the Market for Real Racing 2 It just downloads 2.1 MB of data and then when I try to run the game in the phone it gives me a prompt which says this games needs an additional 600 MB of data to be downloaded to be able to run it. Please use your Wi-Fi connection to do it. Now my problem is I dont have a wi-fi connection at my home or anywhere else I can just directly download it from wherever it is available. So a APK file would help.
[Android Apps and Games] DominatingSystem:
The APK dont include the 600MB of Data..you must download it over Wifi...no way out..sorry

Ok Looks my problem with Real Racing 2 will get sorted out with the Laptop APP that @starbase64 has sent me. Thanks a lot to him for that. But I cannot download Need For Speed Shift from Android Market, It shows Restricted, not available for me with my account in my country. Will have to install with a APK file only. If anyone can give me the APK file for Need for Speed-Shift.

ok so im pissing my iPhone 4 off as im over it...so im tossing up between the LG Optimus 3D or the Xperia play any suggestions who favours what? lemme know!!!
[General Topics] mistermentality:
Optimus is better specs wise and has 3D which is a fun extra feature. Also its dual core which is better and will be getting android 4.0 this year so your sure to get newest operating system on it.

Specs say it has a fm radio on optimus but mine was not enabled however on the xda optimus 3D forum is an fm radio apk that installs and works perfectly on it if you get one and want radio included.

If you change from an iphone you will notice some big differences though. For example android does full multitasking whereas iphone doesn't so some people say you will get lag when doing several things at once.

Also when you install an app the phone becomes unresponsive for about half a second during installation process. Not sure why but all my phones have so I guess its an android thing.

I have a rooted optimus using go launchet and I like it but there are better phones out there for similar prices though experia play is not one of them and if you don't want the 3D aspect a better option might be something else dual core but with more ram as 512mb is enough now but may not be for much longer.

It does play high def 3D video perfectly though. Camera is good but the camera app isn't so if you get one try an app like camera zoom fx which will do a much better job.

By the looks of it, your on at&t. If that is so, go with Galaxy S 2. Great phone and will get ics. If its tmobile, either HTC sensation or their galaxy s2 , which is still great.
[General Topics] quarlow:
If by Optimus 3D you mean the Thrill 4G on AT&T then don't count on ICS. The Optimus 3D has been confirmed to be getting ICS right around the time people will be wanting JellyBean. But, there is no mention of the Thrill getting it. The Thrill is still on Froyo, vs the O3D has the GB update. But, they are not similar enough for that to translate into a easy to install stable port.

Depends on your use desires. If you don't care about what version of android you are running, and just want a basic smart phone the Thrill is better than the Xperia play, spec wise. Plan on getting extra chargers or batteries. But if you want something for lots of game playing while the specs aren't the best those dedicated game controls come in handy. But, if you want the best and/or most future proof phone on AT&T today, get the Galaxy S II, the original - i777 - not the Skyrocket.
[General Topics] Prankzter:
I'm in Australia just trying to find a fun feature rich phone for my budget and the 3D aspect sounds pretty alright but I can't find anywhere that says if the output to a 3D tv is any good the only reason I was thinking play was for the dedicated gaming buttons.
[General Topics] TheContinental:
What don't you like about the iPhone? As much a I love my Android, I wouldn't mind taking the iPhone for a spin, if it wasn't carried on those two evil empires.
[General Topics] quarlow:
Check the Optimus 3D forums. I fairly certain it does output 3D content on a 3D TV over HDMI. But, I don't have a 3D screen, so I never tried with my Thrill. A 3D TV and the Optimus 3D use different types of 3D technology (no glasses required on the Optimus 3D), so the files are different.

The 3D games are fun, but I always have trouble playing games with on screen controls, they cover so much of the game on a 4.3" screen. But, with the controls of the Xperia its like having a PSP built into your phone. Much better gaming experience.

The iPhone runs on far more than 2 evil empires. It runs on three in the US alone.

The iPhone definately has its advantages. For my wife its the best thing. She doesn't want to worry certain things. It is more stable, and simpler to use. But everytime I use it, it feels laggy compared to my SGS II. Plus the screen is so small, I couldn't imagine playing serious games with on screen controls on a 3.5" screen. I did the iPhone thing, and it would take some serious face lift (it hasn't changed much from 4 years ago, and I don't mean just add more stolen ideas from android) to iOS and a 4"+ screen to get me to even consider it.

I know the O3D is rootable and can run custom ROMs. Not sure on Xperia. With both devices having unique hardware (3D and game controls) that does limit possibilities like Cyanogen. You can probably get CM7 on both of them, but it won't support the unique things about them.

The optimus outputs to tv fine at same resolution as source material but my tv is 2D so 3D content shows as side by side video.

You can root the phone as mine is rooted. As for roms there are a couple and apparently cm9 is coming to optimus as well. But I use stock gb rom so can't comment on other roms.

Hey Dave how is the performance? Much lag? Do photos take instantly or is there a delay? U run into any probs?
[General Topics] mistermentality:
I use a replacement camera app for normal pics but for 3D ones the default app is not great if the subject is moving much like if your trying to take a pic of a cat or dog and they move as there is a camera delay although the 3D effect is good especially compared to evo 3D.

On stock lg launcher you may get lag though I never noticed any but I use go launcher now. Its a good phone but if your considering it you may want to check out the optimus 3D forum here at xda as there are lots of comments there and threads about good and bad points that will help you get a better idea if its for you or not.

Its a good phone and I wouldn't swap mine for anything but I love 3D. If you like 3D its a great choice but if 3D isn't important you can get faster phones with more ram for similar sort of price.

There is sometimes small delay as an app opens but no lag I have noticed and playing games in converted 3D is great :)

If you want a 3D phone get the optimus 3D or Evo 3D. If your not set on 3D get the s2 or galaxy nexus as it's very similar to the iPhone OS.

I agree except the evo bit as not only is optimus better for 3D but evo cannot play normal games in 3D and optimus takes better 3D pictures :)

Grabbed the LG Optimus 3D and couldnt be happier the camera shutter speed could be better but other than that great phone!!! Any suggestions for a better camera app paid or free
[General Topics] mistermentality:
Camera zoom fx is a good camera app for optimus 3D. Much better pics than with built in app and lots of extra features such as new modes (timelapse, burst etc) and editing options.

Not free but very good. For 3D pics you will still have to use default camera though.

Hi I was wondering if anybody else has experienced the same problem when installing honey ice.

The bar at the bottom has no Home, Back or menu buttons, the bar is just empty so I have to use the hardware button.

So here's what I did about 4 times.

1. Installed modded stock then run cwm recovery then wiped data, cache and dalvik also tried without wiping

2. Installed latest vegecomb (N)

3. Installed update 3 (N)

4. Installed honey ice latest available version.

All boots fine but then no navigation keys.

Have I missed something obvious?

Any help would be great guys.

[General Questions and Answers] philwaud:
Hi folks

I hope this isnt too obvious, I have searched for an answer and looked around quite a bit before posting and I think its a new question!

Im fairly new to android, and have a galaxy s2 running cyanogenmod7 and a kindle fire running ICS.

The Galaxy s2 has an SD card, and Ive noticed a lot of folders in there from apps I installed once, had a look, then deleted. An example of this is foursquare - I used to use it a lot with my iphone 4, but havent really enjoyed the android experience and to be honest Im a bit tired of the general experience so I uninstalled.

My question is, what is the best way to remove them? Should I just delete them? How do I know that they are actually not needed - the foursquare example is fairly obvious, but what if it was called something obscure like fsq? How would I know?

On a PC, you can get utilities which scan and advise you whether folders are redundant - is something similar available for Android?

As you can tell, I switch roms etc quite quickly and am likely to carry on doing so until I get the set up that is right - I dont want my filespace filling with rubbish! I know I could do a complete reformat but that seems a drastic step and isnt always possible.

Phil
[General Questions and Answers] Android311:
I just asked my self this question the other day, if you delete an app folder and you still have the app instaled the app should automaticaly put its folder back in the SD card, its pretty much automatic. But not all the time, if you erase everything on your SD card and put it back in your phone, your phone will automaticaly put the files in the SD card, so its the same with apps, if the folder is gone then it will put a new one back in it to make it function correctly, I'm not sure about system stuff, I normaly don't touch that stuff like CWM folders

[General Questions and Answers] philwaud:
Thanks for this, its useful info. I think Im going to just make backups then delete a few folders at a time. I cant do that much damage, starting from scratch wont take me too long if I completely mess things up!

Phil
[General Questions and Answers] Dark3n:
There is no automatic way to detect which folder on the sdcard (/mnt/sdcard/) belongs to which app.

You will have to google each folder or look into it and hope it will give you a clue to which app it belongs.

If the folder would have been created in /mnt/sdcard/Android/data/packagename...

It would have been automaticly uninstalled.

This problem inspired me to write the App "SD Maid" which helps you clean up the phone. Unfortunately it doesn't delete those folders either, as there is just no safe way to determine to which app it belongs... for now...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tracerit:
For those with the Verizon Galaxy Nexus, how many different color notifications are there for the LED when you use Light Flow?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darrendm:
17 colours to choose from on mine, it seems.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tracerit:
But will the phone display all those 17 or only say 4?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DanVanDamn:
The Nexus has a RGB LED so any of the 17 colors can be mixed without a problem.

Why don't you try it by yourself? Lazy?

Despite that I have 19 colors to choose from on my GSM Nexus with Light Flow (paid).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] McDeadagain:
Just a quick warning from my experience with Light Flow lite.

I installed the free version and it worked fine - I think I used 10 different colors and most of the time the worked well (sometimes the light would stay on when the notification was cleared).

However, I was having battery life issues so I uninstalled the application.

This actually GREATLY improved my battery life - but now my led is broken. It will only flash white, and it doesn't work for all events that it did before I used LFL. I've done a factory reset and a battery pull and the led will not go back to green.

I've emailed the developer and hope I'll get some help. It's a little hard for me to understand how this could happen and I hope I can fix it.

Just a word of caution to anyone considering using this app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jmbillings:
I don't think mine has ever flashed green? The stock notification for mail + sms is white, and tweetdeck is yellow... not seen anything else?

I too uninstalled Liteflow, because I found it frequently flashed forever until I rebooted when there were no notifications.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
On the Nexus one, CM7 had a slider control for colors. You could create hundreds of different shades.

I think the Galaxy Nexus is the same. At this point we're only limited by software. RootzBoat rom had a LED color control built right into the general settings menu, but only had a few color selections. I used blue and I liked it alot. I don't think it allowed you to change it PER APP, but just the general color for all. Still cool to mess with again.

3rd party programs require to be run in the background as an app or service, but require constant monitoring. Kernel level control is best, but we'll have to wait for CM9 for that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] McDeadagain:
Ok then - maybe I've lost my mind! I thought I remembered it being green originally but it's entirely possible you're correct. Would make much more sense than to think that an app could 'break' the led functionality.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DanVanDamn:
+1 for jmbillings.

Natively the LED is only flashing only whitish and as to be readable in a couple of threads not even that is working properly at all times.

Never had any issue with Light Flow except a not stopping notification ones a week. Bought it for Whatsapp and I'm still happy. No battery drain at all at no time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neok44:
you guys must be getting dozens of notifications in a day.

i've never even seen lightflow pop up under my battery statistics.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] peterv6:
I use light flow on my Nexus and it works great!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] azn android:
Same here lightflow works great on my Nexus. And every single color I tried works. If some people are having trouble with the light still flashing even after swiping the notification away, try going into the app itself. It apparently will keep flashing until I actually check the notification out in the app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CASz:
Light flow didn't work for me, it would either flash constantly in test mode or do nothing. My LED does flash green for chompSMS but white for everything else.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NPuter:
light flow works 100% for me. Notifications always work and no notification his become 'stuck' when I clear it...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] McDeadagain:
Well maybe it's a native problem that I'm having. It will not notify me now of a missed call or an email. The only time I'm seeing the led blink is when I get a text message.

The developer actually took the time to reply to me and make some recommendations to improve battery life.

I'll give it another try, still having intermittent battery issues but may be more related to location polling than this app.

Thanks again to the folks here who take the time to help out.

---------- Post added at 05:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:45 PM ----------

Yes, I do.

I don't see it under the native battery stats - it did show up fairly high on the list when I was using battery monitor widget.

Honestly, trying to figure out my battery issues has me suspicious of every app I install...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tarponbeach:
Works perfectly on my Verizon Nexus as well. The only hiccup is Handcent. If I dismiss the popup window on Handcent, the LED will continue to flash, until I actually go into Handcent and view the message,
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] McDeadagain:
I was using it to alert me if bluetooth was on, and that notification would tend to persist after I had turned bluetooth off.
