[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 88BlackBat88:
To start, I'm sorry if this is in the wrong place. It looked like the right place, but I'm an extreme noob to this site. :P

--------------------------------------

My phone is an Xperia Play Model R800x Android version 2.3.4 Build number 4.0.2.E.0.57 from Verizon in the US and I have tried rooting it many times in many ways. I tried SuperOneClick and It didn't work. It got stuck on Step 7. I tried DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit and it said it was unable to Chmod everything/everything failed. I even tried manually doing it using this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18615502&postcount=7 . It said "Hellions with BLUE flames!" or whatever it is that it says. I think I tried it another way also, I don't even remember. I know these methods have worked for other people though.

I've tried all the above methods multiple times. I do have the Android SDK Tools installed and I installed the Platform-Tools. I do not have PC Companion because it for some reason wouldn't recognize my phone.

Questions:

-Is there any way to root it without downgrading the android version?

-Am I having problems because of the build number? I've only seen it on one other thread on a different website.

-Do I absolutely need PC Companion?

If anyone could PLEASE help me. I've been at this literally all day.

Thanks in advance!
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ATTACK:
As of now there is no way of rooting 2.3.4 for the R800x
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agraceful:
You need to use flashtool to downgrade to 2.3.3 and then root :)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 88BlackBat88:
Well now I feel stupid.

Do you know if anyone is working on a way or should I just downgrade it?

I had a feeling I shouldn't have upgraded it...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Yianni:
I've read the forum and other forums in relation to this issue but I cannot find a fix.

We are using Exchange 2007 and previously (ICS) I could receive all emails/contacts/etc. on my GNex. Now, after the JB Update I cannot receive my contacts. My emails are coming through, and I can send emails, but my contacts will not sync.

Anyone else had (and fixed) this issue? Is there a setting on the Exchange Server I need to change? Am I missing something?

I've tried to leave the port cell (when adding an account on android) blank, but that doesn't solve the issue.

I've also tried to set the days to sync and sync frequency to Automatic and all the other options available, no good.

Any help would be great!

Thanks in advance! :D

P.S. The JB Update I refer to is all the custom roms available. I've tried bigxie, ARHD, and the rest (except CM10).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] d70:
Working fine for me. Same experience as in ICS.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eMischief:
In fact I wasn't able to configure exchange settings on ICS 4.0.2 as it use to be just be in the refresh mode n no mails nor contacts ever got downloaded. However its working fine on JB 4.1.1 with the server policy getting enforced along with encryption being set.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Yianni:
Which ROM are you using?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daystrom:
Waking this thread up.

Just noticed on my Nexus with JB (stock ROM) that my Exchange 2007 contacts have disappeared. Have removed the account from the phone, removed the phone from the server (I'm the Exchange admin) to no avail. Email and calendar work fine, just no contacts.

Found this issue on Google so there seems to be a bug in JB causing this: http://code.google.com/p/android/is...ts&colspec=ID Type Status Owner Summary Stars
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonstrong:
Yes. Good point. Try remove and re add. I don't have admin access to our Exchange server, but I had absolutely no trouble moving from ICS to JB. All works perfectly...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daystrom:
LOL I know that, just didn't want to portray myself as a dumb end user. I'm the baddass Exchange admin here :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nanavati1:
Problem I'm facing is somewhat similar though more erratic.

I'm synching with exchange 2003. All works fine for 6 days but on every saturday all my exchange contacts disappear. Doesn't resynch either. I have to delete the account and set it up again for the synch to complete. Only every Saturday.

Any clue anyone? Please?

Thankq sir for prompt reply.and which cfw do you advise me..can you explain why my device is not upgrading officially by kies
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lee yun khong:
Samsung kies not going to upgrade due to so many reason. My fren g.note also faced the same prob before. He failed to upgrade thru kies as well. But after 2days tried, kies suddenly appear ugrade available. My another fren using s3 also same, mrn his phone detected update about 93mb available while at office, but he decide update thru kies at home. But nothing happened and kies appeared no update at all.Even he use ota thru his s3 also no more update available. But surprisingly he did manage update his s3 thru kies at second day. Weird right?..ha..

For 2.3.6 custom firmware litening rom will be my best choice.

For ics 4.0.4 custom rom, classic rom will be my choice.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prataptetali:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brosa:
Hey guys quick question here is there any way to disable continuous scrolling in the app drawer on TouchWiz UX or any mods that will acomplish this it is really bugging me I never liked continuous scrolling so if anyone knows of a way I will love you forever.:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] V@no:
Hello.

I'm using stock rom, rooted and installed CWM, the phone works fine for a few days, then it freezes for a while and shows "process com.google.process.gapps has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."

I can 100% reproduce this by opening stock browser and browse for about 30 seconds, then it freezes for 10 more seconds, then shows FC.

Several times the phone rebooted itself, but not exactly all the way, there was no ATT and Samsung logos, everything went black for a minute, then everything started loading like it just booted.

Anyone else having this or similar issues?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] davidusr:
I get this also. Only had one reboot. I'm stock. Maybe that's my problem! :p

I was using Chrome when this one happened.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Darrell G:
I was having the same problem on a stock, unrooted phone. I was able to determine that disabling the "Internet" item in the sync settings for my google accounts made the problem go away. Re-enabling it almost immediately causes the FC problem to return. That item seems to be toggling the syncing of bookmarks from my desktop Chrome browser with the phone browser, which I can do without.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] ct214:
Running stock all the way for now. Same issue. I installed Chrome, disabled sync for internet in my Google account as mentioned above, and enabled sync in the Chrome settings. Better browser, better experience, and no more FCs.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] gcamp0730:
Same here - stock but rooted. Fortunately disabling internet sync fixed the FC issues.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] #1RAGE:
I forget where I found the solution but here's what I did to fix the same problem.

1) Go to Settings > Accounts and sync

2) Remove your Google account

3) Go to Settings > Application Manager

4) Go to "All" tab

5) Find Google Services Framework and open it

6) Select Clear data (for Google Services Framework)

7) Go back to Accounts and sync and add you Google account

That solved it for me.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] V@no:
Hmmmm assuming you have internet synced, try open built-in web browser, will it give you FC?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] truckfreak69:
I don't have enough posts to post in the thread... but I wanted to say its awesome, but the back light setting for the capacitive buttons is not working. Also camera still crashes if you refocus too quickly. Reboot is required to get it back.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] alacrify:
And that's why you're not allowed to post yet. Both are known, it's being worked on (the camera is a CM9 issue, but Task may fix it first, and if you don't touch to focus while it's focusing, it won't freeze). The backlight problem has been reported so many times it's not funny, so before you get 10 posts I STRONGLY recommend you spend some time reading the forums, and learning how to search effectively (hint: use google search and use XDA as one of the search terms).

Then your first experience won't be the flame-tastic one it would be otherwise. :D
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] SilverSpade:
I'm in kinda the same boat as you although I've done quite a bit of snooping on the forums and in the thread and have not found any answers to my issues. Just to get the formalities out of the way, yes I did a full wipe, and I've wiped each time I've flashed an update to the ROM. These issues have been present on each iteration of the ROM thus far, and was not present on stock.

Issue #1 - Notification LED stops working correctly if device is sleeping, the color works fine and will blink on the correct times to start but after a few blinks it either will go solid or stop blinking period.

Issue #2 - While listening to Google Music or local music with the screen off notifications cause the volume of the music to drop but then not return to the level it was at previous to the notification until you hit the volume rocker.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] truckfreak69:
I don't have time to read through the entire 150 pages of threads. I was aware that it had been a problem, but the latest build was just released right before I posted that. I did not see anyone discuss them since the new post. But thank you.

[Epic 4G General] Netop:
My wife and I have been using CleanGB since it was new. We mostly liked it for battery life and stability, though it eventually crapped out and anyway it's EOL.

There are a lot of ROMs out now, but really none of them look super stable from the descriptions. What would you guys suggest for a stable, battery sipping ROM that's not laggy?

Also considering the stock ROM. Are the custom ROMs much better than stock these days?
[Epic 4G General] frostedunit:
Not sure what descriptions you're reading, but The People's ROM and Mortify are both very good choices.

Both fast, stable, and with good followings to help you out with any issues.

Shower Shortz - For the man who has nothing to hide, but still wants to.
[Epic 4G General] edufur:
Of these two, which has the longest battery life?
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
I'd answer but I may be biased.
[Epic 4G General] frostedunit:
Honestly, they're about even. TPR might have a slight slight edge.

Try them both. Put one on your phone and one on the wife's. It's all about personal preference.

And watch out for that Kenny guy. He's a little ban happy lately. :rolleyes:

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] imadiu:
Any idea why this happens? Also phones keep restarting
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Just Another★Gamer:
I don't have a clear idea but I assume that the battery counter on your phone is wrong in comparison to the actual battery % so what I did was turn off my phone and remove the battery for a few seconds and then put it back in and turn on my phone, it usually shows that my battery is lower than what the counter said.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] imadiu:
So you mean I have to re calibrate my battery?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Just Another★Gamer:
Yea thats probably what I meant.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] imadiu:
Is it me or just the rom? Re calibrated, but still going down fast. What do you all use to re calibrate your battery
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Just Another★Gamer:
I pull my battery out and leave it for a few seconds but first off I actually think its the ROM and not you, PaanoidAndroid for our phone drains quicker than CM9 so its expected also is this on standby or playing games and stuff?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] imadiu:
It is on standby, look at the "screen on" bar.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Just Another★Gamer:
Its probably the ROM your using that's causing the big battery drain.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] star_fire:
I was using stock ROM until about 2 weeks ago. Then I installed CM9 and I noticed a huge difference in battery life. I tried ParanoidAndroid today and it's the same story here. I'd suppose that since it's based on CM9 it has the same flaws.

I read though, that some guys are using CWM patches to "improve" battery life. Worth looking into, if you're not considering going back to stock ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] sanfiorano:
Yeah... After a few days ago i'am using stock rom. And I got better battery life, rooted no cwm, voltage control & juice defender. I have about 12-16 hours.

Compare with custom rom before, I never get more than 10 hours battery life.

But stock rom have less animation than custom rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Cm9aphla:
Im sure by the title of the message you were hoping to get a jelly bean rom for your 5.0 but this is a question about cyanogenmod 10 for the galaxy player 5.0 if anyone knows cyanogenmods ricardo then let him know Cm9aphla is looking for him.

And 2 more things

1. don,t try to start some argument with me because i'm very eager for the latest android os , since most of you are adults it would be very sad to step down to an 12 year old boys maturity level .

2. anyone know how to fix hardware acceleration bugs in the latest aokps and cm9 roms

Wow really?!?! Thats so nice of you!!! <3 I have a USA Galaxy Player 5.0 if u need a tester. I never tested before so ill prob ask a lot of questions if u do want me to help test :) Btw do we still need a kernel to get Camera to work? cuz i really want camera to work badly on ICS/JB.

OT: To fix hardware acceleration, we need a ICS Kernel which we dont have yet. We need the kernel for hardware acceleration, camera, and bluetooth i think. Everything else is fine. I hope we can get the camera to fix soon. School is starting soon and I want to take pictures for memory purposes with my friends and schoolmates.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Cm9aphla:
Do you hava any ideas where we could get the ics kernel , im clueless

Just wait and see. I'm sure you'll see how much he's progressed once he releases it.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] aznflawless:
Do you have a twitter, facebook, skype, blog, or something so you can share you progress updates?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Supermaster34:
If you build any CyanogenMod rom from source properly, it should give you a system.img file and a boot.img file amongst other things so we should get a kernel

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Supermaster34:
What's the main obstacle to getting s 3.0 kernel? Maybe JackpotClavin did sometime wrong or maybe his code was wrong. I think the best thing to do is to continue working towards getting a 3.0 kernel. The 2.6 kernel works but a lot of features are broken

Samsung isnt gonna update this more from android 2.3.6 so ur gonna waste ur money

U better buy a nexus one if u wanna enjoy jellybeam for a cheap price

PD: I really waste my money on this cuz although there are some developers working really hard we may never seen kernel 3 coming for our devices and without that we cant enjoy ICS and JB completly.

I have tried porting jelly bean the Jelly Bean ROM from the Galaxy Nexus, but no luck.

By using the porting tools in dsixda's kitchen I ran into something (cause I wanted to try the cm7boot.img) I can't show you the code, but It was something like Android Magic Header Not Found.

I used the cm7boot.img because.. I don't know. I can maybe try rebuild it without that boot.img and maybe you devs can take a look at it? (let me first ask it before proceeding ) btw @Cm9aphla you are not the only young one here, I'm 13! :)

But I tried in making custom ROMs but never succeeded (every time errors in the generated updater-script, and even the base script, or at least thats what the player says and even 3 times I bricked mine)
