Just when I thought I had Calls/Data/Texts all functioning my phone goes haywire and stops working all at once... Now after resetting the User Settings (option is in menu under Backup/Restore) things seem to be working.

I think one of the problems with the DNS programs is that they're only set to function when Mobile Data is active. Since our phone doesn't realize Data is active, the DNS apps won't change the settings? Does that sound right? I'm vastly confused.

As I said, Calls were working for a couple days and all of a sudden today I get the repetitive force close message for the com.android.phone process... :mad:
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mogul345:
We've been down this road. The devs don't want one. I think it's mainly because the devs aren't in the states, so there's no way for them to test the CDMA functionality anyways. CDMA is pretty much a US-only technology, save for the countries we've invaded and I think India.
[Xperia Play Android Development] ozzmanj1:
China has CDMA, and we havent invaded them :p ... although my wife is from China, Guangxi Province, and she always tells me that if I stay true to her, that when her country invades and overtakes the US she will keep my and my parents safe from the onslaught... She's kidding I think....?
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
No point giving a GSM developer a CDMA device, only difference is radio, a GSM one is enough. Wouldn't be able to use the radio anyway lol.

Pity you can't whip in an ATT sim...

Anyway, it's hard because you can't test if radio functionality works.
[Xperia Play Android Development] ozzmanj1:
Agreed. other then the radio differences there is no reason to give a CDMA device to a dev... they are 99.8% identical, its just the radios differences.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mogul345:
Really? I didn't know that. Last time I looked at a GSM/CDMA map, CDMA seemed to only be in US/Canada, Iraq and Afghanistan. Apparently, it's in far more countries now. I stand corrected.
[Xperia Play Android Development] ozzmanj1:
I was mostly kidding in my thread, but yeah China Telecom is CDMA, the only CDMA carrier in China...... and if I remember correctly it uses the same bands as Verizon.... go figure.. VZ uses 850 & 1900, China Telecom uses 850, 1900, 2100....

But I have never used a Verizon phone in China... ;ast few times I went I had an unlocked phone and just used a prepaid sim card, as no one does subsized phones or contracts there.. its basically a prepaid sim card you use. Put $100 of their money on it and use it till it runs out, no monthly bill. just refill and go... I must say its quite nice but you pay up front for the phone which can be pricey...im done, lesson over :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] subsparx:
OnLive has issues. The left trackpad correctly moves the cursor around, but not a single one of the physical buttons work, despite the application saying that it works with the xperia game controller. I'll test it on my backup Xperia later to make sure that it's the new rom and not just them failing at understanding what classifies as it working correctly. There are other people in the reviews of the application with the Xperia Play complaining though.
[Xperia Play Android Development] jcsnider:
OnLive has issues with almost every single ICS rom for the Xperia Play EXCEPT for the beta (for me). Are you in the correct thread?
[Xperia Play Android Development] netizenmt:
But getting back to the CDMA issue, so what are we saying? Sounds like the devs won't be able to fix it for us?
[Xperia Play Android Development] paxChristos:
If I have time, I'll look into it tomorrow, today was spent tearing apart my laptop to fix the screen. (And in the process disabled the keyboard (damn you HP and your nefarious tear down))
[Xperia Play Android Development] subsparx:
Why yes, yes I am. Running on fumes due to work. I'm on an R800a with the other beta rom it seems. Thanks :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] paxChristos:
OK, decompiled the SemcPhone.apk. it looks like its failing when it tries to change the status bar to a different type when using the in-call screen...

I need to decompile .88 and .62 to make sure I'm not off my rocker...

Also, has anybody noticed that .88 firmware has Phone.apk, but not SemcPhone.apk?
[Xperia Play Android Development] lightningdude:
Forgive me for my assumption, as I'm aware of what assuming does, but given the fact that Verizon went very AOSP for the XPlay, as opposed to Sony style, wouldn't it make sense that it wouldn't have SemcPhone.apk? Was there really anything else that was actually Sony Ericsson, other than the drivers and such?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Leraeniesh:
With that, what's saying Sony Mobile doesent publish an AOSP version for the R800x, like they did Gingerbread.

Sent from my CM9 Kindle Fire
[Xperia Play Android Development] lightningdude:
I don't want to go back to the ftf restore, so maybe someone can tell me: Does the .88 ftf for R800x have the Verizon crapware? If so, perhaps it wasn't really Sony Ericsson that wanted to go AOSP, but rather catered to Verizon's desires? And if that's the case, since Sony has pretty much said they won't be doing OTAs for ICS, they may be less likely to actually make a separate version. Could just be me, though.
[Xperia Play Android Development] paxChristos:
Here's my guess as to whats going on: (posted over in the KA12 thread)

The problem lies in the SemcPhone.apk. its built for (only) GSM, so we get crashes for a null pointer exception when it tries to query the GSM radio and finds nothing because GSM is disabled (my guess after decompiling SemcPhone.apk and seeing all the calls to GSM)

@Leraeniesh - do you want a copy of the decompiled SemcPhone.API to play around with?
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
AOSP phone app doesn't work, neither will gb one because of framework changes...

Looks like your going to have to hack the original

[Xperia Play Android Development] aDigitalPhantom:
IMO one of the problems is it thinks the MEID# is an IMEI#
[Xperia Play Android Development] paxChristos:
Not necessarily, with .62, it only took a few changes to build.prop to switch from IMEI to MEID (IIRC) (although, we got stuck on baseband unknown... :( )

Anything in particular you want to check?
[Xperia Play Android Development] aDigitalPhantom:
yes. I did not test what i posted very well at all, but i had a 3g icon. I can test it a little better myself tomorrow

edit: so i made data work some beter and phone work worse.....
[Xperia Play Android Development] krabappel2548:
Don't know if you guys noticed it, but I have made a working fix I think ;)

Taking a look now...sounds promising!
[Xperia Play Android Development] krabappel2548:
Yes, and the weird things are:

- I'm only developping since end of februari :)

- I'm only into Xperia Play development since last week :p

===>> but somehow I got this crazy idea to do something really silly to fix the problem and it seems to work :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] aDigitalPhantom:
for someone who cares and knows what they are doing.

i would say part of the problem lies in framework.jar as after i made some sloppy changes to that i got a 3g icon but could not make calls
[Xperia Play Android Development] paxChristos:
This is true, seeing how you first got Cm7/9/fts working for us :p

Do you think it might be a combination of Framework.jar and SemcPhone, or just framework?
[Xperia Play Android Development] aDigitalPhantom:
it seems to be both
[Xperia Play Android Development] ozzmanj1:
As I have now jumped from GB to ICS, back to GB, then back to ICS and now back on GB... can anyone confirm if the instructions from "PickleFart" give working calls, and data? Or is it just calls only? I would love to go with this ROM but really want to have calls and data.... welll at least calls....

And if this has been confirmed by a few people that it works, is there any way to make it an all in one install eventually? Just curious... anyway if calls are at least confirmed working I will try this rom again..... sorry ya'll hope I am not coming across as complaining..
[Xperia Play Android Development] Leraeniesh:
He has claimed to have them working, but others have tried his method with no results.

Im going to spend the next week running KA11 and doing extensive testing with CDMA data and such.
[Xperia Play Android Development] ozzmanj1:
Good to hear. Thank you for your efforts. I just tried the steps from picklefart and was able to make a call *228 but still had issues withh the com.android.phone errors and no data......
[Xperia Play Android Development] Leraeniesh:
Do you have a mirror/downloaded file from this link? Cant get it to downloads.
[Xperia Play Android Development] ozzmanj1:
I dont at the moment and I am still on a fresh install of ICS (literally like 20 minutes), otherwise I would upload and post a link, I am also having issues accessing DL links on MediaFire too...

[Xperia Play Android Development] ozzmanj1:
For me I was able to make about 3 calls before the com.android.phone started going apesh!t again......

O what is weird if I was not on wifi the cell signal was zilch and would not make a call, however soon as I was wifi I could make a *228 call to activate an a call to my ofifice desk
[Xperia Play Android Development] krabappel2548:
Ok, please use KA12 and do the steps as PicklFart9 has told me ;)

I posted them in my thread :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] Leraeniesh:
Im not getting any com.android.phone errors (other than the initial one)

Since I use my Play as WiFi only, I cant test this completely.
[Xperia Play Android Development] PickleFart9:
Hi!

So are you saying that you followed my steps on installing KA12 and doing that, you were able to get the calls working? If so that would be you, me, and netizenmt. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work for jgregoryj1 :(

Anyway glad to see what I posted helped.

BTW I'm finally able to post in the Development threads. A bit OT but I think it's funny that I felt so compelled to post here. I'm not a dev so I think a lot of the discussion on installation procedures etc would be better in the general forum, but that's not the way the threads are set up here so :p
[Xperia Play Android Development] ozzmanj1:
I am going to try your process again probably this weekend PickleFart. Also, not upset that it didnt work and I dont blame the process... maybe i missed something when i was going through the steps..... oh wait a minute... You know what I didnt edit the build.prop on the ICS beta from Sony... that may very well be the issue right there. What are the settings I need to edit on the build.prop and where would I find them? I will try it again probably tomorrow..
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Felimenta97:
So, in about one month, I will get my Xperia S, and I already want to know how to move everything I can from my device (Xperia X10 Mini Pro, running CM9, rooted) to Xperia S. So:

Contacts: I know I can backup using the backup to SD feature. OK

Messages: Anyway to import all my messages from ICS to Xperia S?

Apps: What is the best way to import all apps (apk itself, I think I can extract them from /data/app) and their configurations, if possible of all of them?

SD files: Just copy to PC, and then to Xperia S internal memory. OK

Any other thing I forgot to transfer?

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] keithwalton:
Contacts, store all to google, when you sign in on new phone they'll all be there.

Messages, there is an app on the market (sms backup and restore) which works well (creates an xml file of all your messages) but only works for sms not mms.

Apps you can set google to auto restore them, or you can go via the online market and select install to device to all the ones you want and they'll install themselves

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] _ice_:
I wouldn't get rid of the white phone just because of that. Keep it dude. The white IMO looks way sexier then the black one. When you look at a black GS2 from far away it looks like a normal phone, some even think its a regular gs1 or gs1 4g. whereas when people see the white gs2 they actually ask what phone it is and it looks nice etc...

Also it looks really cool at night (the backlight leaks more in the white)

The shiny portions are determined to come off. you can't do nothing about it. Unless you get those rubber gel cases.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] samcrocr:
yeah now i bought myself a CIMO case it looks really good with it :) and i agree white looks so much better than the black :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] _ice_:
Glad you chose to stick w the white one. Good choice!

I'll see if the coating on the silver bar comes off and exposes a shiny silver instead.

Believe it or not my previous device had similar material in the battery door and that thing scratched like a cat was going at it. So I decided to scratch the coating off w my nails at work one day took me an hour or two but bam it revealed a shiny back door that doubled as a mirror!

I have two text messages from a Hidden sender address <subject: new message>. Both have a button next to them that says "Download".

I tried deleting them using the stock sms application but that causes the app to force-close. I downloaded a third party app and tried to delete them with the same results.

Next I tried booting into recovery and wiping dalvic cache. The two messages are still there.

Can anyone help!:confused:

I just tried clearing the messaging apps data using the task manager. Those zombie txt still won't die.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rodashtoc:
I have an ATT Captivate that goes into a fuzzy screen after it goes from the initial White ATT World Phone screen. The wrong kernel was flashed on it after I mistakenly read a post trying to upgrade the the Apex rom. If anyone could be of any assistance. I can't get into Download Mode or Recovery mode... but it still turns on. I'll post screenshots if possible. :confused:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xK1LLSW1TCHx127:
Ouch, so no download mode or recovery mode? Have you tried booting into download from ADB? if you don't know what adb is then don't worry about it. You might try seeing KIES recognizes it, if not, download any ODIN package and see if the ODIN recognizes it, if it does you're in luck! If not, then you might consider ADB: I'm no expert but I'm sure that when you have ADB there is a way to replace the Kernel Image for a proper one. Just out of curiosity, which kernel did you accidentally flash?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b-eock:
It has nothing to do with kernels, you have a GB ROM with Eclair/Froyo Bootloaders
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
download mode still works even if it doesnt look like it.. er.. wait download mode should still work. scratch that it WILL still work. flash gingerbread bootloaders
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rodashtoc:
Well

The second problem is... it loops after the fuzzy screen. It only stays for 5-10 seconds then goes back to the ATT screen.

I do know what adb is and I've used it a lot especially with my girl's Mytouch 4g. It's just this was a big problem I haven't been able to crack.

I believe the kernel that was flashed was TalonDEV 0.5.1-RC1 from http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18330648&postcount=5215

Edit: Odin sees it for the 5-10 seconds it's on... but since it's bootlooping... Odin doesn't have time to do anything further than file analysis.

2nd Edit: The battery status comes up when I plug the phone up when it's off... I know that probably doesn't help, but I figure I should give all the information I can.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Its the KERNEL.

If you have froyo bootloaders and a gingerbread ROM, it will still boot into the ROM and work. But on boot, the KERNEL splash screen is that distorted image in the OP, and also recovery is inaccessible because all you get is the distorted image. And as you should know, recovery is contained in the kernel.

If you're on froyo, and flash a gingerbread kernel, not only will you have the issues stated above, but you'll also likely be bootlooping, which is exactly the situation in the op.

OP.. You don't use Odin booted into Android, or in a bootloop. Its used in DOWNLOAD MODE ONLY.

Search for "usb download mode jig" you can make one, our buy one fur under 10 bucks. It'll boot it into dl mode in seconds.

Then go to the top of the development section, find a gingerbread package WITH bootloaders. flash that, THEN proceed with your original plan
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
Yes or flash gingerbread boot loaders and get recovery back, Then flash and appropriate kernel in cwm.

Hint: there is a button combination that you must preform to enable download mode it is posted several thousand times in the captivate section I would suggest go and find what it is.

Btw. The button combination happens to be posted in three or four of the stickies. And the forum rules say to read stickies before creating a thread or posting.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rodashtoc:
Listen

I've read them already. I told you I can't get into either mode. I know exactly what the 3 button combination and the download combination is for this phone and since the wrong kernel was flashed on it, it's apparently not working.

Hint: being helpful is great, but when you start talking down to people, you start to become an ass. When that starts to happen, it's best you be quiet and let people who want to come up with a solution to the problem speak.

Thanks.

So if my bluetooth is on and it's not paired to anything, will it drain battery?

I like the convenience of not having to pull my phone out of my pocket when I enter my car. The phone pairs up to the stereo automatically but I'm wondering how much strain it's putting on the battery the rest of the time when it's "on" but not connected to anything.

Now that i think about it, it is probably periodically polling to see what other devices it can see....since it would have to be doing that to "know" that it's now in the car and can connect but how battery heavy is that?

Yes, leaving it on, but not being used will drain the battery.
