FSM Sony Ericsson Xperia Play
[Xperia Play General] ProcyonSJJ:
Redundancy of the OP's complaint aside, none of those posts suggest a potential solution to the problem. Does anyone have one? This all stems from a seemingly broken constant connect to Google, which results in most, or all, of the following symptoms:

White connection bars instead of green

Inability to connect with Gtalk

Auto-Sync with any Google service (gmail) disabled, despite check in settings

Someone suggested they were getting a push for an update, but there have been no details, and I'm not seeing anything. Aside from switching back to 2.3.3 or to CM9, is there anything else we can try?
[Xperia Play General] paxChristos:
not really, I tried multiple versions of gtalk & none were able to connect.

I talked to a vzw rep today.

She had no clue on how to fix the issue. According to her. It sounded like a software issue.

I told her my phone was working fine. Till I updated the os.

So supposably something went wrong during my update installation :thumbdown:

Ne ways I'm having a replacement phone comming 2morrow. & according to her. it shouldn't have the same issues. *confused*:o lol
[Xperia Play General] paxChristos:
It is an update issue, the update is broken. It's not a phone issue (unless magically it detects if you're on xda & hates on you)

Verizon reps aren't hired because of their knowledge in Android.
[Xperia Play General] CrimsonKnight13:
Most Verizon reps seem to think that rooting tampers with hardware... I've been down that road with the Samsung Fascinate. I wasn't thrilled to say the least but I was still able to get a replacement since they couldn't prove that it was the reason why the phone failed. My patience for tech support of any kind is fairly thin due to me being an avid tech enthusiast...
[Xperia Play General] 216Monster:
Id be interested to see if the new phone has the same issues, I have flashed back to 2.3.3 multiple times and OTA'd back to 2.3.4 , each time the same problem, gtalk broke and service bars stay grey, and google sync never works unless I manually do it.

I called verizon today and I to have no use for verizon tech support I think each time I was more knowledgeable about my phone and its software/firmware then whoever I was speaking to.

I posted my every bit of the useless conversation I had with verizon in the proper thread here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=25807552#post25807552

I feel like Verizon for some reason rushed the release of this version of gingerbread. There is constant talk that sony let Verizon have it for not updating the phone on time. I smell a rushed update! :eek:
[Xperia Play General] run4jit:
Sorry to be a nub amongst you. But, can anyone tell me what improvement 2.3.3 provides over 2.3.2 for r800x. Btw, I'm using a different carrier, running 2.3.2 and bootloader is locked(cwm recovery mode installed and working and rooted). Thanks in advance :o
[Xperia Play General] paxChristos:
Actually, the kernel was built in October, if you check the 2.3.4 build.prop, it'll tell you when it was built.
[Xperia Play General] netizenmt:
It's the Update that smells, not the release time! :p
[Xperia Play General] rayjay1999:
Pax I hear you I don't think it was sony getting on verizon about this several customers myself included demanded an update. I know one thing about verizon they want to stay big red so they are not going to have to many upset customers. the 2.3.3 update for the phones was in september. I wonder if Verizon will get an ICS build in june or july. I can dream cant I?
[Xperia Play General] run4jit:
Ahem ahem!!
[Xperia Play General] rayjay1999:
Well all I can tell you an os update improves security and allows you to use certain apps.
[Xperia Play General] paxChristos:
Check your apns-conf.xml located in /etc I'll post one in a little while

[Xperia Play General] netizenmt:
And breaks some that used to work just fine, like gtalk. :thumbdown:
[Xperia Play General] babycakes505:
Well I got my replacement phone.

Sadly It didn't come installed w/234.

But I did get the os update. I'm debating if I wanna stock to 233, or go ahead & update the os. I don't got be apps installed atm. So it shouldn't mess up the installation :,/
[Xperia Play General] paxChristos:
You know you can always downgrade with flashtool, right? :P
[Xperia Play General] babycakes505:
Sadly to say I'm not rooted yet :-(

So I prob won't have a clue on how to back up my 233 os & use ftf.. :o lol

But I have been reading up on post on how to root with doomlord :thumbup: & all that good stuff:p

[Xperia Play General] rayjay1999:
In all truth I am just keeping my current phone and sticking with the 2.3.4 I mean I dealt w/ Verizon remember the moto devour? I had one.
[Xperia Play General] jaykap:
ok so i must be stupid. i have my vzw play rooted running 2.3.3. how the heck do i get 2.3.4? i just found out about the update. when i click on update now right on the phone, it just goes back to where u can click on check for updates. i actually don't know why i rooted in the first place cuz i honestly have no use for it but id rather be up to date with everything so if anyone can share how i can get 2.3.4, id greatly appreciate it
[Xperia Play General] 216Monster:
No use for root? Have you gone mad! I will never run an android that isn't rooted! Read the forums you will find plenty of reasons to unlock boot loader and root device!!!!!!
[Xperia Play General] jaykap:
i don't think the bootloader can be unlocked on the verizon xperia play. what exactly can i do cuz i have read plenty of forums and nothing really goes into great detail unless im missing something.

so if anyone out there is rooted and running 2.3.4 on the verizon xperia play, how did u get it and how can i get it?
[Xperia Play General] 216Monster:
The Verizon r800x bootloader can be unlocked through a method called test point, which can be done by Alejandeissimo (at at The Avengers in theatre or I'd link his site for you) You can root 2.3.4 with unlocked boot loader simply by flashing super user zip in clockwork recovery. You can root 2.3.3/2.3.4 with zergrush method. Rooting will allow you more internal storage, build prop tweaks for a smoother running device and certain custom roms made. An unlocked boot loader will give u access to custom kernels, much more custom from selection and basically more overall freedom of your device. You will still be able to perform OTA updates with Alajandissimos unlock method also :D. That's a rough summary, read the forums, plenty of nice users as well, I'm gonna enjoy the movie now, good luck!
[Xperia Play General] jaykap:
i sorta understand what ur sayin. i just don't get how to do everything. like i said, i am rooted, just have no clue where to start on everything else cuz i used zergrush (i think i used that one, been a while since i rooted lol).
[Xperia Play General] lightningdude:
You don't have to be rooted to use FlashTool and the like, you just need to read up on how they work.They don't take an actual backup of your phone, they revert you to out-of-the-box stock.
[Xperia Play General] babycakes505:
Where would I fing flashtool @ sorry 4 new question:olol
[Xperia Play General] rondeau04:
replacement phone still broken update.

I have gotten my replacement phone in the mail today. I was having the same issues with the gmail not pushing or synching. Same for any app twitter faceboon. The new phone is doing the samething.Which I told verizon it would. I am calling back tomorrow I want out of this broken phone I don't pay top dollar for a broken update.
[Xperia Play General] droidjunkie:
Good luck with that, best idea is to downgrade to 2.3.3 and stay there.
[Xperia Play General] 216Monster:
there are some great threads about "everything" kinda. Start in the development section, you may need to go back a few thread pages, the first page is mostly new roms and such. A few users have put together some nice threads with a gathering of basics and "how to's"

I linked you below a good start from a good user on the forums.

Its not the hardware!!! Sony and Verizon will tell you to send your phones in.. it is not the hardware!!!!

Edit: In reply to KeiranFTW's post below, I agree its always "reboot your phone, or data wipe" .. don't they teach these tech guys anything these days :rolleyes:
[Xperia Play General] KeiranFTW:
Most tech support from most manufacturers is crap. They usually tell me to reboot the phone and take the battery out.

Then its if you've modified any software, that probably broke your hardware.....
[Xperia Play General] babycakes505:
Ty ill be installing it today & reading up on info:D
[Xperia Play General] rayjay1999:
126 monster is correct this is not a hardware issue it is a software bug. :confused: Your best bet is when you contact verizon or sony you explain to them that the reason you are contacting them is that all the android 2.3.4 updates for the r800x's have a software flaw.:)

Hey all!

I sold my Nexus S today, and the buyer is coming to take it tomorrow.

I wanted to keep it but yeah, money is tight :o.. its Heartbreaking to leave here..

I wanted to say thanks to mathkid95 for his awesome kernel, androiduser110001, cybergr, bedalus, simms22, morfic, shark on land(for his awesome troll threads :D) and everyone that i have missed.

The 8 months that I had my nexus s were the most pleasant months that I have expierienced, thanks to the devs, and other users that made ma laugh :D. I also learned a lot more!

I decided to upgrade to a Galaxy Nexus, so Im buying that asap. (july/september). I have some tests now and school goes first.

I will see some of you in the GN forums (mixtapes , simms22, tjackbjorn)

Goodbye!

PS: I may be still be around :)

Best Buy notified my dad he's up for his full upgrade (Checked the Sprint site and it was true), and my birthday is coming up on the 14th, so more than likely I'll be getting the Gnex.

Good news for anyone upgrading to the GNex, the camera isn't as bad as everyone says it is. Look at this, it's crazy.

Wow. That was amazing, I never thought the gnex would be able to take images of that quality. I have second thoughts about the gnex....

Yeah, it shocked me too. I can't wait till it arrives. I ordered it yesterday so hopefully by Monday. If I'm lucky, tomorrow, but I doubt it.
[Nexus S General] swamp goblin:
Waiting for packages is probably the best and worst thing in the world lol. I have to track the package non-stop until it arrives, and when I find out it finally made it to my house I drop whatever I'm doing and rush at the speed of light home :p

Let me know how it is, I may have to sell some of my technology and go get one sometime this summer :)
[Nexus S General] resetreflectt:
I constantly refresh the UPS Tracking page haha, it hasn't arrived at the UPS facility yet but once it does, surprisingly Sprint hooks you up with free One Day shipping.

And yeah, waiting sucks, but once it finally arrives I run outside to grab it and the unboxing feels great to me. Probably unhealthy lol.

I'll make sure to let you know how it is.
[Nexus S General] stellar:
You should post a review on here for those looking to upgrade to a galaxy nexus :D
[Nexus S General] resetreflectt:
I was hoping on doing so since most users who moved on haven't bothered to come back with opinions. I'll make sure to post a thread after about two weeks of use with it for fairness. It won't be a video review, but a written one.

Oh and finally my first dual core<3

Just my luck, the page got updated 10 minutes ago. It's arriving around 3pm tomorrow! I'm so happy
[Nexus S General] stellar:
That'd be awesome if you do. I'm looking for a phone that basically will be reliable and will get the latest and greatest in software and that's either the Galaxy Nexus or an iPhone. My nexus s is still chuggin along but i think its time to upgrade to the current hardware specs lol :) I'm not too crazy over an iPhone but it is a pretty solid phone. The Galaxy Nexus really catches my eye though, its screen and the form factor makes me gravitate towards it, the only things I'm worried about is the quality control of the screen (purple screen reportings) but other than that it seems perfect! Okay a little OT but yeah a review would be welcomed :D

Mirrors|Mirror Requests - Download & Request мιяяσяѕ Here |Updated 8|29|

I am creating this thread because I notice that people are always asking for mirrors. So, I figured if we have a "one-stop-shop" for all mirrors/mirror requests, this could be avoided.

No posting or requesting mirrors for ROMs, or other people's work (unless given the OK ahead of time).

Keep them coming, and I'll keep the OP updated with everything new. Also let me know if any of them stop working.

NOTICE: All mirrors for TWRP have been removed per their request. They do not want people posting mirrors. So, please no requests for it.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Towle:
Your help is appreciated, but all posts containing links taking members outside of the thread were removed just for the reason of keeping it simple. The point of this thread is to have all mirrors in one location (the OP) to make it a lot more "user-friendly". If there are mirrors posted all over the thread, then we will have a lot of the "can someone post a mirror for [blank]" then in response we get "learn to read, it's posted 2 pages back". And I am spending my time keeping the OP up to date with the most recent and active links. Having all of the same mirrors posted on the next page kind of makes this whole thread/my time pointless. Like I said though, your help is definitely appreciated, just trying to keep the thread simple ;)
