I have new news here. I have working calls now.

What I did:

1. Wiped everything and went back to stock 2.3.3 first.

2. Installed DoomLord's ICS Beta Kernel - which is wicked awesome.

3. Installed the system and userdata images from the Sony ICS Beta.

4. Entered recovery and did a factory reset and then wiped cache, dalvik cache and battery stats.

5. install zipfile from sdcard and installed the CDMA Sony ICS Beta.zip

6. install zipfile from sdcard and installed PLAY-DooMKernel-ICS-Beta-v01-modules_CWM.zip

7. install zipfile from sdcard and installed gapps-ics-20120317-signed.zip

8. install zipfile from sdcard and installed gapps-ics-facelock-20120131-signed.zip

9. Rebooted the system and booted OK.

10. Opened the phone app and dialed *228, ignored the com.android.phone error, pressed 1 and let the phone be activated.

11. Manually rebooted.

12. Placed a call to my office desk phone - worked fine.

13. Placed a call to my cell from my desk phone, also worked fine. I was able to answer and talk normally. No more com.android.phone errors either.

SO... the only thing not working for me at the moment in my testing so far is 3G data, which I rarely use. I figure I can live with that until the guys get it working.

I'll do more testing over the weekend and see what else works/doesn't work.

EDIT:

This stops working after a while. I haven't been able to figure out why. Sorry! :(:o
[Xperia Play Android Development] Leraeniesh:
Great work :D

With that cleared up, the only error seems to be the 3G icon in statusbar.

Sent from R800x
[Xperia Play Android Development] lionheart_9891:
will this be available for locked bootloader R800x in the future?
[Xperia Play Android Development] lightningdude:
Yeah, when Sony releases the completed product as a .ftf file.

Didn't someone say pax has data working? Is he still tweaking it?
[Xperia Play Android Development] paxChristos:
See my post earlier, I don't have the status bar icon fixed, but I did have data working. I'm outta state at a wedding until Monday, so don't expect too much other than cheerleading from me :p
[Xperia Play Android Development] Leraeniesh:
Have a good time

Many thanks for the data fix. Had me stumped for a while.

EDIT: Updated first post with Calls\Data fix.
[Xperia Play Android Development] MinionOfEckerd:
Does anybody have a link to the ftf for 2.3.3? Or I guess instruction to get back there after flashing to the ICS Beta.

Also, I have build.prop open. Where do I 'add' the lines in pax's post? Does it go at the end of the file?

EDIT: Added the lines at the bottom. Now for this DNS Settings app? The one I downloaded says it can't access device settings...

EDIT2: Downloaded "Set DNS". It already had Google DNS in it's default settings. Hit apply and was able to get online w/o WiFi. Trying to download apps through the Play Store now and it's not able to download through 3G Data. Put on WiFi, it finished the download.

Thanks! :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] ozzmanj1:
I just followed your guide step by step and I still get the com.android.phone error and cannot activate the phone. I have to reboot phone otherilwise I get the error prompt every 3-5 seconds and it won't go away unless I reboot. Hmmm... think I will wait for a patch that can fully resolve this issue. If calls were at least working I would be on ICS right now but I need to make calls. So until then I'm on my previous 2.3.3 nandroid backup......but I will definately be checking back here like every hour to see if there is good news...
[Xperia Play Android Development] lightningdude:
I got calls working, like I had before, but I'm having a hard time getting data to work. What DNS app has everyone else been using?

Edit: Web Browsing works with what I did in paxChristos' post, as does browsing the Play Store. However, I can't download apps from the Play Store, they hang on the "Downloading..."
[Xperia Play Android Development] MinionOfEckerd:
Same here. Downloading apps hangs but browsing in the store and web works fine.
[Xperia Play Android Development] agraceful:
dst apn works or you can just open the apns yourself and add it, I edited the apns-conf.xml and edited that myself and it works perfect
[Xperia Play Android Development] netizenmt:
Don't know what to tell you, sorry. It works for me. I might throw the error when I dial out once in a while, but it still works for me.

Now what I can't figure out is the DNS thing. I've never messed with APNs and I don't have a clue where to enter them or even what to use. LOL - I'll figure it out eventually.
[Xperia Play Android Development] MinionOfEckerd:
"Set DNS" will change it to Google's Public DNS Settings automatically. No hassle! :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] paxChristos:
Here's an apk for the (free) set DNS I used: http://db.tt/19a0kqzT (side load via adb if you don't have a file browser)

Pax
[Xperia Play Android Development] jcsnider:
I plan on flashing to this today... is anyone close to fixing MMS or the 3G icon? If so I will just wait until then.
[Xperia Play Android Development] netizenmt:
But if "Set DNS" makes it no hassle, how come yours isn't perfect like agraceful's? Is there something different about it?

I'll give it a shot anyway.
[Xperia Play Android Development] paxChristos:
I'm not sure if the op added in Verizon's apn settings, its an easy fix, tho.

Abd pull /system/etc/apns-conf.xml

Open it up with notepad

Edit to look like agraceful's post

Adb shell

rm /system/etc/apns-conf.xml

exit

Adb push (your modified) apns-conf.xml /system/etc/

Adb reboot.

Mms should be fixed.
[Xperia Play Android Development] jcsnider:
I am going to flash now and I will let you know if it works. Thanks pax/agraceful!
[Xperia Play Android Development] Leraeniesh:
Damn Pax. Many thanks again!
[Xperia Play Android Development] paxChristos:
What might make it easier is to get a working (no phone fc'ing) nandroid, unyaff it (linux tool) make changes, mkyaffs2img it, md5sum it, and fix nandroid.md5 and start uploading that to media fire... i might have some time later tonight to futz with it tonight ...

Note: you cannot unyaffs the original system.img Sony passed out, it drops an error (bad img or sumthin')

Pax
[Xperia Play Android Development] jcsnider:
Ok, it has taken me some time but following netizenmt's post I was able to to get calls working. Thanks to pax I have data. SMS works fine.

The only thing left is the MMS fix. I set my apn conf file exactly like agraceful's but I am simply getting a message. When I go to view it, it says message not downloaded....

Am I supposed to add in a username/password or did I do something wrong?

Thanks!
[Xperia Play Android Development] agraceful:
This may help along with the apn-conf.xml change

In build.prop go to this line below

ro.cdma.home.operator.numeric=310005, I changed it to 310012

I believe either chevy or pax(not sure which) has had it set to 310005 which never worked for me, but changed it did. Oh and i found a line that will increase max volume for calls..

ro.config.vc_call_vol_steps=number from 1 to 100 ( I have mine set to 75)
[Xperia Play Android Development] jcsnider:
Mine is already set to 310012. Any other ideas by chance?
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
i know of a brutefore way to get files out of system.img

if u guys want i can extract what i can and upload it...

send me a p.m. if u guys need any help

why dont u just create an update.zip for it?
[Xperia Play Android Development] FPlusPS3:
Can someone tell me how to do the data fix?

i don't know how to use adb server

can some one write a simple howto for the 3G data ? ( Not the Icon )

I got everything else working..
[Xperia Play Android Development] Leraeniesh:
Has anyone tested GPS?

Sent from my CM9 Kindle Fire
[Xperia Play Android Development] netizenmt:
OK I must be blind but I don't see anything from agraceful that shows what he entered.

I have copied and pasted what you, Pax, posted up and added it to the bottom of my build.prop file. I lapdog downloaded that Set DNS app and set it to Google DNS.

So what else needs to go where?

And I haven't used adb for any file moving. I have been editing from Root Manager's text editor. And I still need to change the R800i's to X's.
[Xperia Play Android Development] jcsnider:
GPS appears to be working. It just pinpointed me at my house :D.

@netizenmt: This is the post you are looking for, it is an attached image. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24235130&postcount=37
[Xperia Play Android Development] FPlusPS3:
OK..

No one is willing i guess to tell me how to get 3G working :( poopy

anyways I can't get VIDEO Camera to record and save it says that unfortunately video recorder has stopped working after clicking the record button again once done recording ?

any fix for that
[Xperia Play Android Development] netizenmt:
I'll help you with the 3G as soon as I finish the tweakage.
[Xperia Play Android Development] jcsnider:
I can confirm that video recording is not working.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Leraeniesh:
I believe video recording is a problem with the bets itself, not specifically the CDMA Play

Sent from my CM9 Kindle Fire
[Xperia Play Android Development] FPlusPS3:
Thanks :)

Please PM me so i know where to find the fix you'll be posting

Thank You :)

WEIRD Bump

I did the build.prop and now my phone calls don't work again

wtf did i do wrong?
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
video recording is working on the xperia play GSM
[Xperia Play Android Development] netizenmt:
Alright - this is weird and I don't have a clue as to what broke it. All the sudden I can't make calls again either. I restored the original build.prop but it's still broken. I'm thinking some other file must get affected along the way to cause the problem. Tried clearing cache and dalvik, no go.

AAAAAAAUUUUUGGGGGHHHHHHHH This ROM is going to drive me out of my freakin' SKULL !! :mad:

EDIT: OK, In light of Beta Testing, I'm taking one for the team here and wiping my phone YET AGAIN !!!! even though I just finished loading my apps up so I could test them... There has to be something that's breaking the "fix". Maybe Google Play in all its wisdom and glory "crap-dates" a file or something.

<sigh> Here we go again...

EDIt#2: OK - clean install of Sony ICS Beta, with the CDMA patch, SU fix, DoomLoRD's Kernel, DoomLoRD's WiFi patch, latest GAPPS. I was able to activate OK. I am able to make and receive calls. I have not yet edited any additional files, nor downloaded anything from the Market or elsewhere.

EDIT #3 - <sighs> Well, I fell asleep for a while. Just tried to call my son's cell and sure enough, calls are broken again. The call goes through ok, but I have no control from my side of it and the com.android.phone error goes off repeatedly until I pull the battery. I did not edit anything or install anything, it all just stopped working. :mad:

Sorry, guys!
[Xperia Play Android Development] ozzmanj1:
Before doomlord released the latest cdma kernel the previous kernel had camera issues. I believe this current camera issue is due to what was previously an issue....
[Xperia Play Android Development] paxChristos:
Nope, unless somebody has replace the camera drivers with CDMA ones...
[Xperia Play Android Development] jimmyvau:
Is there a way to replace the Sony phone app with the google version like was done with the R800x timescape Rom? That may be a temporary fix so we can have calls and data
[Xperia Play Android Development] jcsnider:
Calls and Data work if you follow the links in the first post.

With this said the phone itself is not registering it's data connection so even though I can use the browser to visit webpages accounts will not sync, widgets will not update, etc.. just because it does not see the data connection that it does have.
[Xperia Play Android Development] jimmyvau:
Calls stop working after build.prop is edited. Multiple people are having that issue
[Xperia Play Android Development] netizenmt:
Calls stop working after a while. Screwy Phone !!! :mad:
[Xperia Play Android Development] jcsnider:
Then how about simply using root explorer or a file program to make build.prop read only? At least until an official fix is released?
[Xperia Play Android Development] jimmyvau:
You have to edit build.prop in order to enable data. After that happens is when the phone starts crashing
[Xperia Play Android Development] jcsnider:
Like I said, it is all working for me. The phone app will crash each time I make a call then restart and work normally. Data needs to be perfected but it is also working. I followed netizenmt's calling instructions completely then applied pax's data fix (with the DNS app), playstation suite, and attempted (and failed) at mms.

Calls and Data have worked for the past 6+ hours and I have been heavily using my phone.

Edit: Are you all using Notepad++ to edit the build.prop? If not then try it with notepad++.
[Xperia Play Android Development] netizenmt:
I've just been using the text editor that is built into Root Explorer. It's never been a problem before. And copying a "working" build.prop back in place does not fix the problem once it occurs.
[Xperia Play Android Development] jcsnider:
When you copy it back do you restart your phone?
[Xperia Play Android Development] paxChristos:
Could everybody whose experiencing com.android.phone issues post the logcat where it dies... (please remove extraneous lines like I did, or post same crash, so we know we're not dealing with multiple issues)
[Xperia Play Android Development] netizenmt:
Yes, Of Course ! :)

Pax, I am embarrassed to admit, I have no idea how to do a logcat.

Plus I got so frustrated, I just flashed it back to stock! :o
[Xperia Play Android Development] jcsnider:
I must admit I have no idea about the logcat either. However the market does not see any internet connection even when I am on wifi AND the phone still thinks it is an r800i lol.
[Xperia Play Android Development] paxChristos:
Logcat: adb logcat > crash.txt

Find E/AndroidRuntime and paste that up here from crash.txt (there's a way to get only that to output, check developer.android.com for details)

The R800i is in build.prop
[Xperia Play Android Development] jimmyvau:
I was able to fix the phone issues by repairing permissions in recovery. Now the phone will crash then reopen and make the call like normal.
[Xperia Play Android Development] jcsnider:
Well... at this point I cannot get it to crash no matter what I do but here is the log I had from earlier...

[Xperia Play Android Development] netizenmt:
Sure, sure.... rub it in. :p

And doesn't it just figure someone would figure out a work-around right after I get my phone rebuilt to FXP113 ! :rolleyes:

So, what causes the permissions to need fixed when nothing is happening. Like I set mine up, called ok, then let it sit while I took a nap.
[Xperia Play Android Development] jcsnider:
Im sorry for your hardships ;).

When going from Rom to Rom are you making backups in CWM? It makes it alot quicker to try a Rom and go back to FXP113 if I just use the backup/restore feature so all I really need to change is the kernel I need to use for each rom.
[Xperia Play Android Development] netizenmt:
Well, yes I did... but I forgot about that until AFTER I had it rebuilt! :rolleyes:

I work 3rd shift, and I haven't been to bed since 7PM Friday night... I think it's beginning to show, what do you think? :p
[Xperia Play Android Development] FPlusPS3:
My findings from today at work with no WIFI

Just to let you guys know i followed the step by step CDMA call fix and it works but here are my findings:

Game Issues:

=================

SENSDroid doesn't boot ROM .

com.android.phone

=====================================

Phone Call work and I can get calls and answer

When call is answered it will say its " Missed Called from : Unknown "

When you have a missed call it will say "Unknown" even if its from a known person.

Data with out Data?

=====================================

I have Data in some sort All i did was install the way CDMA Call fix said to

At work when there is NO WIFI I get data for only the following:

Market ( Just to view Items BUT gets hanging and never downloads if i try )

Browser ( Only if i start with HOME PAGE , internet works )

-- Browser will exit if i try to go to a URL on weird Data

Google Search will Say there is no Connection

Bank App will say no internet

File manager gets ads from weird data

SMS

=====================================

No sms

No MMS

As far as i see if you do the CDMA Call fix method you will get 1 com.android.phone error EVERYTIME you turn your Phone off for the VERY 1ST call until the phone is REBOOTED
[Xperia Play Android Development] jcsnider:
Very close to what I have found. The only thing I may add is that when I try to send a SMS it works 25% of the time. When it doesn't I restart my phone and it ends up sending. (Not sure about receiving at this time.) On a brighter note, Need For Speed works :D

Edit: Anyone making any progress on these issues at hand?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Flyinduke:
Phone has been working for me.

Data has been working, both on and off wifi

SMS says "Currently can't send your message. It will be sent when the service becomes available." --Had to reboot to get rid of message

Then it goes into a refresh fury when I look at the messaging screen.

Titanium backup couldn't automatically restore items, had to perform an interactive restore.
[Xperia Play Android Development] netizenmt:
I want to report back that fixing permissions did not fix my calling issue once it rears its ugly head. In fact the only thing that fixes it temporarily is to start over with a clean install pre-activation step. I think we can all agree that's a bit much to go through every time you need to make a call.

Someone with a heck of a lot more smarts than I will have to fix this one. :(
[Xperia Play Android Development] netizenmt:
And where do we enter these commands? Do we hook up to the pc via usb or do this in terminal on the phone?
[Xperia Play Android Development] paxChristos:
Hook up via USB, run from same folder (if PC/not in paths) as Adb.exe.
[Xperia Play Android Development] aDigitalPhantom:
has anyone else noticed that when using this ROM and dialing *#06* the box reads IMEI and then your MEID number?
[Xperia Play Android Development] ozzmanj1:
Any upates on this thread? Such as CDMA calls & Data...? Not rushing just curious
[Xperia Play Android Development] netizenmt:
OK so I reinstalled FXP and updated to 114, have everything working..... BAH !!

Flashing this back on today, going to try it with some different kernels and see what, if any, difference that makes. :D

I GOTTA have me some ICS !!!

SUGGESTION:

For anyone who says they are able to make/receive calls now, could you please post the following information?

ROM - what ROM did you come from also. (Stock, CM9, etc.)

KERNEL

Any additional patches installed: CDMA Fix, WiFi, GAPPS (which one), etc. <--- Post the name of the patch, version, date

Any thing else you did that you believe made the difference.

Also, please post back if/when calls stop working. And do that log thing Pax asked for.

I think if we can get this info, along with the log Pax is asking for, someone can get this working properly.
[Xperia Play Android Development] jcsnider:
I am willing to help in any way that I can. I have already posted my crash log (it is a start...) what we really need IMHO is a dev dedicated to the R800x and bringing ICS to it and fixing those bugs at top.
[Xperia Play Android Development] ozzmanj1:
We already have some very established devs working on this rom for our phones..... it would be nice if one was focused alley on our phone but I don't think its necessary.
[Xperia Play Android Development] netizenmt:
Well, all I can say is this. WHO GIVES A CRAP ABOUT FACELOCK???

Every few posts, there is something about getting facelock to work. What's the point if you can't make and receive friggin' calls? If I wanted a portable gaming device that did nothing but, I would have stuck with my DS Lite!

/rant off

There... I feel much better now! :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] jcsnider:
I am conflicted over the exact same thing...

I want calls/data and gaming!

With cm7/cm9 you do not get gaming.....

With this, you don't get calls or data....

My solution.. I am currently trying the UK rom for the R800x.. it is basically a glorified stock but I can call people and play need for speed so I believe I am just gonna wait until an offical ics comes out if it ever does...
[Xperia Play Android Development] netizenmt:
I loved the UK ROM... You should be pretty happy with it over all.
[Xperia Play Android Development] jcsnider:
So far so good! I am just happy to play games now this whole being the Red-headed step child thing is not worth it. With luck the ICS beta will be CDMAized in the next few weeks and I might try switching yet again "D.
[Xperia Play Android Development] netizenmt:
I know what you mean. I've been with Verizon since the mid-80's after trying several other phone companies. In many ways, they tend to be the only game in town in terms of quality service area and so on. Until I got into smartphones, it never was a big deal to me what they did to the phone as long as I could make and receive calls. And since I'm never going to leave the US, I could care less that the bulk of the world used GSM. Now, though, it matters a lot.

The fact that calls work sometimes gives me hope that it will eventually be resolved. The fact that most of the devs don't have a CDMA based Play tells me that it's not going to be soon.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Trygon:
I would be up to donate to a r800x ICS bounty, if anyone knows how to set that up.
