I still have nandroid backup and titanium backup .
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacklebott:
If you haven't already, make sure to get a nandroid of the now-working firmware, then restore the apps. If that messes it up, just restore the working nandroid and try reinstalling the apps manually. Otherwise, if that still messes it up then I'm at a loss
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kkshiro:
It 's happened again when i restore 100 app and games with Titanium backup (i also use Link2sd with auto link)

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] German-Guy:
Today i have the same screen first.

I read google Reader and it freeze. Touch and Hardwarebuttons dont work.

After press Standby/Screen off and Screen on i have the same screen.

I put the battery out and in an the crazy screen is here after SE Bootlogo.

But when i press the Volume Button when screen is on iam back at the normal lockscreen. Can unlock an all functions (touch and Hardwarebuttons, too) works perfect.

I use Doomkernel V11 with stock .42 fw and -36 Baseband with motified libs and UC/OC 0,384 -1,6GHz ondemanded. All works perfect for weeks

.

But 3 days ago i flash the -64 Baseband from the same R800i_4.0.2.A.0.62__1253-4437_.ftf that MGA2009 postet here in the thread: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=23220251&postcount=17

I need this baseband while this is glonass (russian gps alternative) ready for geocaching.

Now i CLOCK the cpu to only 1GHz and but i dont think this was the problem.

What is with the gpu oc in doomkernel v11? Is this the problem?

I find one problem more. After 1 week ago my screen turns off/on for under a half second when i slide open/close the Gamepad!

Sorry for my bad english!
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MGA2009:
Well... that confirms it's a motherboard problem product of overheating or extreme overclocking. Some Xperia Play are tougher and some suffer this...

UPDATE: MAYBE NOT, check the post below from "German-Guy"

Only solution: Send it to SONY or replace motherboard <-- Might be as simple as replace the flex cable.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] German-Guy:
Now my play is dead, too. The Color-Pixel Screen come on boot-up, no Bootlogo more. It´s time for a new smartphone like the xperia S ;)

Edit 1: I think more and more is really the flex cable but i become 1 week ago the problems first with screen off/on on open/close the gamepad. And when i now open and close the gamepad a lot time the screen is normal.

Edit 2: I open my Play now and the Flex Cable is 5mm in the middle of the cable horizotal broken. This is the problem! Here is a photo i shot with my HTC Flyer. One hand hold the Flyer, the second the Flexcable and my nose take the picture on the touchscreen-Shutter ;)

Lol as soon as I saw this thread and saw the img I knew it was the screen cable.

I have my Xperia play apart right now because I'm changing the Digitizer.

I'm also ordering the white case and going to swap my guts for a white one.

I think the white looks more classic and beautiful .
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grcd:
That's all great. If you are kind enough to help everyone, could you post the information (product ID, where it was bought from, specification, etc) of the flex cable you bought, so that this information is available to whoever may need it in the future?

Again, nice to see your phone is working again.

your early response in this regard will be highly appreciated..:)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] captain67:
So many people with broken flex cables.. Jeez.

I think Sony needs to either extend our warranties like Microsoft did for red-ring Xboxes, or do a recall and give us new phones.

More and more people with the same exact problem every day, and after taking apart my phone I can tell you for sure it's a faulty design.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zapras:
Last week, this happened to me. I was thinking of fixing the flex cable, but I realised I don't actually use the gamepad a lot these days which is the only reason why I have it. It is heavy, thick, slow and more and more apps are are not supporting it. Chrome, Minecraft, GTA SA etc . So I've decided to buy a newer phone.

It's a sad day for me, I've had my Xperia Play for about 4 years now and I think it's time to let you go. We have been through thick and thin. So sorry Xperia Play, I will always miss you, you will always be in my heart. Good night. Shhhh :'(

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
good honest review.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
The complaint about being unable to open more than one document type at a time is a legitimate one, and applies to just about every mobile OS in existence. It really crystallizes why these devices are really good for some things, but in general do NOT replace notebook computers.

As an aside, one mobile OS that fixes this limitation is webOS, which DOES allow multiple instances of a document type to be open at once. Emails, PDFs, Web pages, you name it, all can be opened as separate documents and used as one expects--for example, refer to other email messages when writing a new one, jump back and forth between open Word documents to compare versions, etc. I really do wish that Google would adopt the webOS "cards" multitasking metaphor for Android. It's really too bad that webOS has generally been such a failure, because it really does have some unique strengths.

Sorry for hijacking the thread, but I think just needed to be said. :D

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I have the captivate with ICS and I don't like wallpaper scrolling but I don't see an option to stop it. On the stock GB rom I could set the wallpaper to be fixed and a tall selection but on ICS it makes me select a wide area. How can I change it so I can select ANY part of the picture. I want just a certain area of a picture set fixed no scrolling.

** edit **

I just found out how HORRIBLE the camera app is versus Samsung's app and since I take a lot of photos I switched back to a stockish ROM. Thanks Mr Baron.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redbaron2005:
It's been a while since I been in a ICS ROM, Yet I'm almost positive you can change some setting within the Launcher for ICS, such as... Trebuchet, Apex, Nova. Another thing you can do is try using ADW Launcher. If I am wrong then, I would have to freshen up on ICS.

Hope I could help,
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I tried Nova launcher and it does support no scroll but it still makes my set the background as if I was using a scrolling wallpaper, when I say that I mean it makes me set the wallpaper in a wide aspect ration instead of a tall aspect.

This is my Data Speed Tweak that would be found in my "DARKSTAR" ROM ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=22991708#post22991708 )

It is a flashable .zip

IF SOMETHING HAPPENS ITS ON YOU!!!

This has been tested on 3 gingerbread ROMs and 2 ICS ROMs, but it should work on any rooted ROM (including stock) on the E4GT.

installing
1.) reboot into CWM or any custom recovery
2.) install from external SDcard
3.) reboot

i went from .32 megabits/sec (fastest) to .75 megabits/sec (slowest) (on 3G)

**This will work in most areas but not all.**

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Red_Kamel:
First try and reinstall. i prefer to install from my pc because it seems more reliable that dling from my phone. test speeds before and after and let us know how it goes. what cwm are you using. you might want to try the latest zip/tar for your build if your not already on it.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackcanopy:
I tried downloading again to both internal and external and flashed both. I am still getting the same error
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jamcar:
it puts a file in the /system/etc and it tell the radio how to connect to the network and it increase the connection speed for a faster download
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] borkan:
Is this just a script that does the DNS or whatever changes to skip the Sprint proxies?

If so awesome, good stuff =) If not I'd love to know so I can try this as well.

For those who haven't seen it before though, you can do it manually from this Qbking vid.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LnUFd4osq8

It helped mine out a little bit.. doubled it probably though trust me it wasn't impressive beforehand so doubling wasn't much of an accomplishment.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackcanopy:
Is it a file that can just's be pushed into the proper folder? Flashing doesn't seem to be working for me

Perhaps those that have already done it manually can't do by CWM because there is no change to the script?

something else kinda odd is the date on the one already on my system is dated 01 Aug 08 the one from your zip is dated 14 Nov 11. But they both have exact same lines within the script.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DataHawg:
This is old news. Not sure who came up with this first, but Chris41g has been putting it in his kernels for a long time. If the OP didn't develop it, he should not be calling it his. First a zip is posted that is suppose to be flashable but isn't, then the OP tells you guys to push the file to system/etc instead and then won't answer peoples questions on whether to overwrite the file if it already exists or how to change permissions with root explorer. Lame IMO. Go here instead.

http://dev-host.org/3nzgolp0e54a/DataSpeedTest.zip

If you've never tried this, read all of it first please. Download the zip, extract the sysctl.conf file, paste it into system/etc with root explorer (find the file on sd card, long press it, select copy)... navigate to system/etc folder, click the Mount R/W box in the upper right corner of Root Explorer to make the system/etc folder writable and say yes to overwrite the existing file if it asks. After pasting, long press the file and select change permissions to as follows

Owner:Read and Write

Group:Read

Others:Read

Reboot

This is the same method to use for swapping out system apps with Root Explorer. The changes won't take effect unless you change the permissions. If you extract the file on your phone with Root Explorer, by default you can find the extracted folder in sdcard/Speed Software/extracted. In addition, you can choose to rename the existing file before overwriting it and move it to your sd card for safekeeping so it can be put back to original location with the original name if you don't like the changes. This method can bale you out if the changes you made cause problems.

Don't wanna hate on the op tho..... dudes just trying to help out I guess.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DataHawg:
I don't mean to hammer the OP either, but the instructions he posted to paste the file with root explorer are flat out wrong. It won't work unless the permissions are changed the way I showed. Hope I helped a few folks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I thought this was in Chris's kernels...anyhow thanks for clarification on permission settings. That helps a lot!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackcanopy:
I don't know how I got this. I am on Steady´s KERNAL and tried flashing OP zip and failed. So i tried pushing the file. I knew to change permissions already from help in other developers threads, but when I went to push the file where it said to push it and saw I already had that file. Upon examination, both files were exactly the same. Same MD5 number, same size, same content. The only thing different was the dates. I could be wrong, but I see no need to overwrite under these circumstances. Please correct me if I'm wrong so would love to squeeze every last loving byte of potential this phone has to offer.

I just felt as if I was lead down a rabbit trail. Don't get me wrong, it did give me something to do for a while.. Lol
