2 year contracts, its the norm here in a country where people feel the overwhelming need to toss their cellphones every 2 years or less.

But its subsidized, so I paid out of pocked like $100 for it. But you pay it back in the contract

Revol Wireless will flash your Verizon CDMA device to their service. I plan on doing that after I get out of college since they have unlimited everything for 45 USD per month.

Plus, I don't care about OEM's anymore, when we have these lovely custom ROMS here. :)
[Xperia Play General] Rogue Leader:
As an update after just about a week on this I still have no reply. Anyone else?
[Xperia Play General] ozzmanj1:
Yup no reply. I hav emailed the CEO twice this week. So that would be three times. I have check with about 5 sites that the email link for the CEO is correct

daniel.mead@verizonwireless.com

http://aboutus.verizonwireless.com/leadership/executive/profiles/Dan_Mead.html

Hey Rogue Leader, you want to copy and paste your email from page 1 and send it to the address above?
[Xperia Play General] - Swift -:
I really feel sorry for you guys. Never knew it was this bad.

I will call, text or FAX that guy soon. As I have free calls / texts with an app from GPlay to any US/CA number.

;D
[Xperia Play General] ozzmanj1:
Thank you Swift, that is very kind of you and greatly appreciated.
[Xperia Play General] Rogue Leader:
Done
[Xperia Play General] ozzmanj1:
Awesome. Thank you! Heres to crossing out fingers.. :highfive:
[Xperia Play General] - Swift -:
Faxed (I hope it got through) and emailed. No time to call as I'm in Dublin.

Some of the following is untrue, but I'm Irish and in no way ever dealt with VZ before so excuse my noobness.

There's more to it but it won't paste?
[Xperia Play General] ozzmanj1:
Couldn't have said better. Thank you. And I mean big thank you. In the meantime I got a email from the supposed CEO rep saying thy it would be investigated
[Xperia Play General] - Swift -:
No problem :)

I hope they are investigating and not just putting it in the "annoying" pile :)
[Xperia Play General] ozzmanj1:
Yeah no kidding...right....haha
[Xperia Play General] Rogue Leader:
I got a response! From HQ Relations, they asked for my mobile number as well as a daytime contact number to call me and address my concerns. I'll report back when I speak with them.
[Xperia Play General] ozzmanj1:
Really, all I got was an email from someone saying they were in the departmemt that handles the CEOs emails and said they would investigate the issue with the 2.3.4 OTA update for our phone. Perhaps I too will get another email similar to yours...
[Xperia Play General] Rogue Leader:
Just got off the phone with a person from there who called me. She says she is going to investigate the issue for me and we can discuss again on Monday once she does some research and can give me all the facts. She was very nice and seemed like she genuinely is trying to help us, so hopefully this works out. I'll let you all know what I hear.
[Xperia Play General] ozzmanj1:
AWesome........ good to know that someone @ VZ seems like they either...

A. Like their job

b. Actually is a nice person

C. Getting paid enough $$ to give a d@mn... (kidding but probably true)
[Xperia Play General] Rogue Leader:
So I got an answer, but you're not gonna like it.

Short version is that yes it is broken, but they don't know how to fix it, they went back to Sony to ask for help and Sony says they have to release a new update to fix it. She said after speaking with Sony and her own group, she basically dropped me a hit of, don't hold your breath. She apologized quite a bit, but she said there wasn't much that she could do, and that it seems to her like Sony doesn't want to support this phone anymore.

When I said I want to leave she did make me some very generous offers to keep me on board and do the right thing for me, keep in mind I've been a customer for nearly 15 years. I didn't give her an answer as to what I want to do yet as I'm still mulling it all over. I really wanted to just drop them and buy an Xperia Play R800i and hook it up elsewhere, but basically I would be spending $200+ to rebuy an outdated phone I already have and go with a service that won't be as good as them. I've unfortunately gotta look at the dollars and cents of the whole deal here, as financially that wouldn't be very bright versus the offers they made me. That said its gonna suck playing games with a touch screen. I will still have my R800x just with no cell service, except I obviously won't have it out and about with me.

Tough decision, but I thought you all should know, if you have an R800x, you're not getting a fix.... probably ever.
[Xperia Play General] maddog00:
How important is 2.3.4 in the long run, though? Is it really that much of a deal breaker? Granted, I'm still on 2.3.3, so I don't know any better.
[Xperia Play General] Rogue Leader:
Playstation Suite or Store or whatever its gonna be called requires 2.3.4
[Xperia Play General] chery2k:
I honestly prefer 2.3.3 because somewhere in the XDA forums there is a mod to increase internal storage that only works on 2.3.3 not 2.3.4. Plus 2.3.3 has more ram than 2.3.4. Honestly I dont care about the playstation suite because the games would require alot of internal storage something the xperia play dont have.
[Xperia Play General] hitittome873:
any results?

i know this is an old thread but i still havent found any fixes for the google server connection problem. any (good) news on some solutions?
[Xperia Play General] Leraeniesh:
You can unlock your boot loader and move to CM7/9/10.

Sent from R800x
[Xperia Play General] ozzmanj1:
Thats what I would do in your case. VZ have come out months ago and basicall said they were not going to fix their terrible 2.3.4 ota. Good thing all R800x users can now unlock for free and give VZ the middle finger.
[Xperia Play General] JunDavis:
My R800i works with verizion o.o
[Xperia Play General] Rogue Leader:
No it doesn't. the R800i is GSM, Verizon uses CDDMA, there is no way you are using an R800i on Verizon.
[Xperia Play General] JunDavis:
IK, just trolling a bit. But anyways, maybe a hardware hack for R800i to do CDMA? that'd be cool

But what are the changes that's going to happen to my device?

Can someone enlighten me.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VasiliosA:
Hello everyone!

I have a Live with Walkman (WT19i) phone with rooted 4.1.B.0.431 firmware.

Last night i tried the OTA (Over the air) update, so my superuser permissions will not be lost.

So my phone downloads the update, restarts and proceeds through the 2 out of 4 steps of the update(box + up arrow image on screen). On the 3rd step(down arrow image on screen) there is a bit loading on the bar and then my phone restarts normally.

After the restart I get the message "Could not install update software. Try again." (or smthing similar)

Any ideas???
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] issak42:
I tried this on my dad's Ray. OTA update failed multiple times, until he updated it with PC Companion. Root was lost, ofcourse, but then I just flashed the old kernel, rooted with suitable exploit and flashed the latest kernel again. Nothing was lost on the phone (few apps got installed again, like wisepilot, facebook, facebook inside xperia and some carriers bloatware - took me 10 minutes to remove all that junk).

Some bugs fixed, generally faster, battery lasts longer.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chandoliasnikos:
The OTA update fails because of the root, most likely cause you moved from the system some app that's necessary.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VasiliosA:
Most probably yes, because I also get an error when trying to flash with Flashtool . . .

So do I flash back to .431? hmmm...

Hi people,

I installed the newly uploaded bubbleupnp spk on my synology NAS. Opened the port 58050 on my router. Installed java etc - all mentioned on the bubbleupnp webpage.

but when I try to open the server configuration page (it goes to server DDNS>:58050) - I get asked a login/passwd. it does not seem to take any of my login/passwds on the NAS. It says "the site says - User"

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Chochiwpg:
The messaging app won't show pictures of my contacts. I have my contacts on my sim card and on my google account. I have added profile pics beside each contact on my google account. However, when in the messaging app and I choose the google account contact that has the pic to send my text to, it will revert to sending to my SIM card contact which doesn't have a profile pic beside it. Does anyone know how to fix this issue? It's becoming frustrating.

All that I can think of is to remove all my contacts on my SIM card since I already have them synced to my Google account. That way when I am in messaging there is no choice but to use my Google Contacts. I just don't know why it automatically reverts to SIM contact and I don't know how to change it. Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] EnigmaticGeek:
Have you changed which contracts to view in your phonebook? Or are you showing all of them? Sometimes if only selecting to view Google contacts will fix the issue

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] EnigmaticGeek:
hmmm...odd. when you type in someone's name does it duplicate their contact info. For example, if you type someone's name into the to: box does it give you two sets of names?

sent from my T989 full of CM awesomeness and a touch of Venom from the Darkside!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Chochiwpg:
Yes, one from the SIM card and the other from my Google account. If I select the Google account it still reverts to send the message to my SIM card contact. If I delete the SIM card contact it will send to my Google Contact properly because that is the only contact remaining with that name and number.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] EnigmaticGeek:
Hmmm...i would simply delete contracts from SIM. Sim takes precedence. Unless you unlink contacts and then use the Google contacts as main and simply link backwards. But that's too much time wasted

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Chochiwpg:

So I recently upgraded from the droid x2 and the Verizon rep said that my data is at 2 GB per month since I'm on a shared plan with two other people. She told Me they would keep their unlimited data untill they upgrade themselves. When I get the service summary it says I still have unlimited data. Is this true or will I get charged after going over 2gb on my s3?

Open the My Verizon app and see what it say on there. Keep the summary and have fun with it. It says you have unlimited so they can't charge you.
