Title: Hurrah.. My Xperia Play is healthy again

This evening my order of flex cable (2 pcs) has just arrived, going to continue repairing my PLAY which is still on ICU..

Swear god, took me at least 3 hours learning n try carefully by myself how to take out the flex cable n put it back properly from PLAY

Pic 1: spoiler for at last success take the flex cable out

pic note: Left one is the broken flex cable (see the black carbon's gone -- i think that's the problem causing the screen turn to white).. Right one is the new flex cable (the black carbon's still fresh and full)

Pic 2: spoiler for new flex cable been put properly

Pic 3: spoiler for broken n new ones

pic note: Left one is the broken flex cable, right one is the new one, i keep it as stock for future use b'coz am almost 100% sure the flex cable will break again 1 - 2 years coming

Pic 4: spoiler for PLAY already healthy

P.S Got no cam here, so can't record the process how to replace it.. I just watch n practice carefully from these two videos guide how to take off part by part although not completely (because the flex cable part was not included in the videos)

Tried google whole day before, to find any information or guide how to replace the flex cable, but couldn't find it... At last have to try it myself for hours n succeed
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] narflynn619:
Sorry to be bumping an old thread, but in my experience I already had 3 broken slider flexes, all of which had the same problem: the black carbon material wearing off. It that's what's causing our slider problems, wouldn't it be better if we put a very thin adhesive tape (tge transparent one) around the carbon part to keep it from wearing off before installing? I'm no hardware expert but I am pretty experienced in replacing broken parts.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Various For:
I would suggest to use the black insulating adhesive tape, it's the best way to not have electrical problems and it's thin enough.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] narflynn619:
^ you mean the 3M- or Crocodile branded black electrical tape? That's thick IMO and leaves a sticky residue on itself while sliding off which may be of more harm than good.

Hi,

I'm searching for someone running any stock motorola ROM (froyo preferred) in order to test an application for me. I can not test myself because i am running CM7 on my Defy.

see my thread for further details on what i am working on, or PM me.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=25545410​

This involves NOTHING dangerous, be reassured.

My tester must be:

- Running any stock motorola rom

- Rooted

- Online at least once a day ( i mean "not away for weeks without feedback")

thanks in advance

Sorry if this has already been asked but I can't find nothing on the subject... anyone know of a thread that people have spoke about this then please direct me and thread can then be closed :)

Anyways am pretty desperate for an app pretty similar to titanium backup that doesn't require root access... As am sending phone back to repair and thinking about wiping phone before a do so ??? And can't be bothered installing all me apps when I get me phone back .....

Mybackup is a great app

Try appmonster pro.
[HTC One X] Electrostatic King:
Give rom toolbox pro a try. It is more than titanium backup.
[HTC One X] LaneyEFC:
Looks good but requires root :)

Ah.. Didn't read that.

With what app can i backup my folderstructure and widget structure. so if i want a full whipe i can restore my strucure?
[HTC One X] decalex:
I'm guessing you'd need root for that.. but I don't even remember what its like to not be rooted.

If you're talking about the sense launcher, I believe the preferences you're talking about are located in

/data/data/com.htc.launcher/shared_prefs/

Or.. labeled as [DESKTOP] ... in titanium (just fyi).
[HTC One X] Freddy1X:
I know the app that will satisfies your need..

Use File Expert : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=xcxin.filexpert&hl=en

It can backup your apps, without having the need to root your device..

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gennoz:
Hi Guys,

I am on ICS 4.0.4 and my S3 shows 779 MB, which is always busied by 680 or so!!!

I checked an S2 with ICS 4.0.4 and the memory is 830, and is busied by 450 on average. (S2 has larger memory than S3 on ICS4.0.4???)

So what is wrong with the S3 memory? i keep on killing apps all day and night to bring it to 450 or around, I dont have too many programs, and, i am not using except two widgets, checking on the background processes annd programs, most of the system's stuff is running on its own, even if i freeze some using Titanium pro.

Anyone has the same problem (if i can call it a problem?!) is that normal??!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidpixar:
Why would you consider it as a problem? Android is best at multitasking. You don't have to kill apps, its the nature of the beast so to speak to have a semblance of the apps running in the background for your convenience.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michael_P:
Bigger screen and stuff like Smart stay and S voice eat up extra Ram.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] norpan111:
Yeah it's really dumb to kill apps and clear ram the whole time, phone will feel sluggish because it needs to fore up stuff all the time that would normally sit kindly and wait for you in ram... You are making your phone slow and killing your battery
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gennoz:
Okay, i got it, No more killing APPS :), now the question is, how come the S2 has more overall ram than the super S3, on ICS4.0.4??? considering the 779MB to the 830? its just a noob question
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dehaani:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodie:
i flashed mine with stock I9300XXALF2 now my average ram usage has dropped by at least 150mb & is much snappier on the home screen redraw
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gennoz:
Thanks for the tip, im kinda new here, i am trying my best to read on before getting bullied by someone like up there but, eh, still not doing it right.

Anyways, i found two posts, one about a stock ALF2, and the other talking about deoxed and oxed .

What is the difference between :

GT-I9300_WanamLite.Stock.Deodexed.XXALF2.NO-WIPE.zip

GT-I9300_WanamLite.Stock.Odexed.XXALF2.NO-WIPE.zip
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dehaani:
Bullied?

Try reading the rules before posting. Rule number 1 is search before asking a question. Now you're asking the difference between odexed and deodexed... Do you seriously think you're the only person who has asked this? It's discussed EVERYWHERE!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roastario:
Deodexed ROMs have their .apk's (which are basically the application packages) repackaged in a certain way. An "odex" can be thought of as a collection of parts of applications that have been pulled out and optimized before booting. This speeds up the boot process - in a way, it preloads part of the applications - but it also makes hacking those apps difficult because part of the original code is already extracted somewhere else.

Deodexing is just a process of putting those pieces back into the original applications. It takes a while to extract those parts and build the .dex cache (aka Dalvik cache), but only because the relevant parts aren't in an easy-to-access place for the system. The advantage of this is that an app can be modified effectively and the developer doesn't have to worry about conflicts from the separate odex part of the code.

So, short version: "Deodexed" ROMs have all their apps put back together. If an app can be themed, for example, a deodexed version of that app will not get messed up when the modified .apk tries to mesh with the odex of the original un-modified .apk. Because it's not there.

If you want an aftermarket theme, you need a deodexed ROM. I'm not sure if deodexing can be done to individual apps within a non-deodexed ROM.

Query on RAM....

Dude... My s3 ram in task manager is showing 883..... previously it was 779mb.... i donno wat would b the cause for this.... i have updated to jelly bean.... please ans my query....
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pat357:
I suppose "standard ROMS" have no apps or anything in the "Dalvik cache" ? (as all apps have "stand-alone" APK's ?) ... correct ?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noobee1:
well, I guess its widely know how android manages memory, and clearing ram is more of a performance inhibitor than a booster. I gave up all hope when I took my s3 to the

service center and was given the solution of clearing the RAM repeatedly

to solve the horrible ram issue.

the problem i was and still am facing is, the ram usage increases automatically within few hours of usage with hardly any apps installed. its extreme as it crosses 790mb and stays in that range. whats bad is apps keep on restarting in the background, phone slows down terribly ( switching between apps, moving out of an app just to stare at the app drawer 3-4 secs for all the apps to load, even the keyboard takes time to pop up). So moderate ram usage is good, but high ram usage is bad especially when it causes to slow down basic use. now what problem i am left with is deciding whether to root and flash a custom ROM and void the warranty on my one month old device, as both the times i revisited the service center the only thing the guy did was format and reload the firmware, which didn't solve anything. this was prevalent on stock ICS as well after the JB update via kies. as a last resort I am thinking of trying an official firmware from another region. as Indian one was causing the issue. my friend got his s3 from saudi and he hasnt had such severe problem(certain sluggishness is acceptable on a bloated stock firmware). so i am thinking of flashing that firmware. is it safe to do that? and i wouldnt need root access for that right, only odin and the firmware correct?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corleno:
Generally RAM usage depends a lot on running widgets.

I personally use only one widget on screen at all times. (Google search) which is enough to get the job done for anything. And I run only 3 home screens

I would usually have about 200 free ram

Also Im on Omega 34 rom which is by far best (In my opinion for RAM management). It automates in such a way that 200mb ram is free at all times.

I really dont care much about warranty ,the first thing I do when I get an android device is to root it. (You do know you can unroot right ?)

So if RAM is really so important to you its best to root.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noobee1:
yes I am well aware of rooting/un-rooting and other basics, had done all that on my S2(i9100), also found it more fun and efficient than stock but time is the only factor that's stopping me from experimenting. and thanks for the omega tip. I am certainly going to flash a custom ROM, after trying out few official ones, When I do, I would definitely go for Omega, alot of people recommending that one.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Galactus:
Omega is good as is WanamLite, Foxhound and Hyperlight. Smoothest I've used were Foxhound and Omega although I'm running WanamLite at the moment. Smoothest version I've used.

When I try to make a character on Dungeon Defenders the keyboard doesn't show up. I tried using the stock keyboard, but that didn't help either.

The keyboard shows up fine elsewhere and I can use it normally, but only in DDSW does it not show up.

I'm on TrueAncestor if that helps.

Yes, disconnect the cable and start the phone.

And these options are not needed for flashing at all.
[Transformer TF300T Accessories] dbdrop:
My first TF300 came up with a scratch out of nowhere so i didn't want to risk it on my new device. I found an Aromrshield for the TF300 on ebay for $12 + 3 for shipping. I figured for that price i'd roll the dice. The directions were easy enough to follow and the fit is absolutely exact for the screen. The other thing I'm really liking about the cover is that its perfectly clear, between the perfect fit and crystal clear view you can hardly tell its on. I'm pretty sensitive to visual distortion and have always ended up removing screen shields from my phones because they affect the clarity of the display. My eyes are picking up zero distortion on this one. I had my doubts but after a few days all the little imperfections from the installation solution faded away. The feel is natural and slightly soft. I was worried about it feeling tacky but its actually pretty comfortable.

My only gripes are 1) that even though i was meticulous about cleaning the screen before installing there must have been an airborne spec of lent that came flying by just as i was applying. Not the shields fault but still kinda annoying and 2) It may just be in my head but it feels like there may be a slight delay in my touch sensor after the install. I'm not sure if there is a setting somewhere to adjust the sensitivity but I'm open for any suggestions.

Hope this was helpful.
[Transformer TF300T Accessories] jsantiago.antonio:
Funny enough, i just bought the same exact screen protector and applied it and had 0 issues installing the screen protector today. I also experienced the slight delay but what i did was put the tablet upside down on a flat surface and out a slightly heavy book on top (just heavy enough to press it down towards the flat surface, not too heavy to break it though). After a good two hours it dried up well and screen protector seated well on screen and the delay was gone. :)
[Transformer TF300T Accessories] dbdrop:
Glad to know i wasn't imagining it. It actually seems to have improved after another day to ALMOST unnoticeable. Wish i had known the book trick, ill try next round
[Transformer TF300T Accessories] mcmasterp:
even better than the book method is to place it in the sun for an hour or two once a day for the first 2 days. i also have the armorshield and thats how i do it. its exactly like tinting car windows. the sun drys the solution and smooths micro ripples that create the most distortion.
[Transformer TF300T Accessories] KB Smoka:
I have one of these on the way....Thanks for the info.
[Transformer TF300T Accessories] tuffluck:
I hated it. I actually had two and they both came scuffed up. Without me ever touching them. Install was fine but they really scratch easily. Got the acase and its sooo much better. Also the armorshield doesn't work with the dock.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] timtlm:
I've seen something posted on this issue before, but I am hoping to bring more attention to it since this is a significant bug. When using the camera with the auto-flash setting, the camera will not flash in low light when using the hardware button. Specifically when you half press first and then full press. If you press the hardware button all the way down really fast, the flash will fire. Also, pressing the on screen button causes the flash to fire as well.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] njfoses:
Not sure what the point of re-posting the issue is? :confused:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shook187:
I noticed since you mentioned it. I didn't get a flash when i half press the camera button. But my question is who cares? Just press the damn camera button all the way! How is this even considered a "significant bug"?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dylan6879:
Not a bug it locks focus and exposure when holding the half press. If u want it to use flash don't hold the half press for to long
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] timtlm:
This was posted as a question a while back, but didn't get much exposure, so I posted it in general.

I understand what you mean, but that's not how a regular camera works with a dual stage button.

Also, this reasoning doesn't really make sense because if you have the flash mode set to always on, it still flashes from a half-press to full-press.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shook187:
We dont have a regular camera, we have a phone.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] huludical:
I was bummed when I realized this as well. I don't know why they couldn't just make the led light up on half press. That would help focus as well. They screwed up on the camera key in my opinion.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] huludical:
Uh.... HTC is promoting this phone on it's camera. If you don't care about this issue then why even post. :rolleyes:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] MassStash:
I expect and ota OEM fix. No auto flaish on cm button is definately weak sauwce...

~Freshly acquired LTEvo; ViperRom'ed in under 2hrs...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tmuka:
I noticed this too last night, had to turn flash to on. Didn't try on screen shutter button... Makes sense for it to not change the flash after locking exposure on the half press, so the real issue is the half press should trigger the flash as previously posted...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] timtlm:
If you think you just have a phone, please go buy yourself an lg rumor and leave the smart phones to the rest of us.

Yeah, this is a tough one for me. I understand locking the exposure, but a regular camera determines if the the flash is needed on half press and adjusts the exposure accordingly. Also, what a regular camera displays on screen before shooting doesn't reflect the actual exposure settings when the camera takes the shot. I suppose the Evo may not be smart enough to determine the exposure before a short burst of the flash fires. Also, there's the zero shutter lag feature that they don't want to slow down.

I'm curious if making half-press turn on the flash could possibly improve flash photos since it could take a little more time to adjust exposure. Flash photos on this phone don't seem to be adjusting to the correct exposure and focus a lot of the time anyway.

2. Go to task manager and end all running apps and clear ram

3. Reboot your phone if all these doesnt work

Do your phone still have warranty? Is your phone rooted? If your phone is under warranty and not rooted, take it back to the shop. Or if ur phone is no longer under warranty, try rooting your phone and flash a custom rom. MIUI Rom is stable and good, but good custom Roms u should try would be Squadzone's Cyanmobile, Mebitek's pure Cyanogenmod or Minisense 3.5...
