[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nick.knack:
Hey , Sorry I am a bit new to xda (noob :P) please dont be too hard on me. SO i had a few questions if someone could be kind enuf to answer :)..

Model - R800a , Build - 4.0.2.A.0.42 , Andriod 2.3.4 , Baseband - 8x55A- AAABQMAZM-203028D-56

1. I was looking that there are 2-3 different ways to root the xperia play - super one click , flash tool or doomlord root kit... which one is easier or safer and which one should i use ?

2. Do I need to Unlock the Bootloader ? Also How to unlock the bootlader ? I came across this link unlockbootloader . sonymobile . com ... Is this the way to go to unlock the boot loader or is there another simpler way ?

3. Also main reason for me to Root the play is because internal memory is too less with all the bloatware.... I did came across some tutorial which explained how to partition the memory card etc. but i cant find it now any link regarding that will be helpful.

4. Also I am confused as to what is correct sequence of doing these steps is... Root ,Unlock Bootloader,Partition Memory,flash new Kernel,Flash Rom ?

5. Finally All I want to do with my rooted phone is Remove bloatware, Increase internal memory , ability to overclock and Get best gaming performance.... I would prefer Jb but i am not too fussed even if I have to use Gb.. So can u please recommend which kernal and ROm to go for ?

Tnx :),

To free up some storage space, you could move everything to the SD card after rooting or use link2SD
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
You can't root the stock 2.3.4 version, you will need to flash version 2.3.3 or this enhanced 2.3.4 version.

Use the link from the post above and follow the "flash a ftf" guide to flash it. Then follow the root guide.

To solve your issue with low memory. There are many ways to deal with it, but I like using the program LBE Security Master, it can do things such as move apps to sdcard, remove system apps, and prevent apps from autostarting.

My son's 989 got a notification of a software update last night. He is stock/rooted GB with CWM Recovery installed. When trying to do the update, it of course failed since the recovery was not stock. Now it says there is no update. Does anyone know what this update was and is there a stock/rooted version that I can Odin to his phone? Thanks for the help.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrPobble:
Hi XDA,

Am currently running rooted, jellybean stock 4.1.1 & would like to upgrade to 4.1.2. However I can't do it through OTA or Kies as my device status is 'modified' I've tried the work around of removing the SD card but no joy so am going to have to use the Odin method.

My question is if I upgrade to 4.1.2 will I keep all my settings on the OS and system apps as I've spent a lot of time getting things just as I want them.

One final question; if I go to 4.1.2 will I have to deal with the whole exclamation mark thing as I'm rooted or does that just apply to custom roms?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deniz2051:

[HTC One S] RichardW1992:
Just received my second One S, the first I got sent was an S3 version so it went back.

I have already managed to root it and install a recovery and flash CM10. So a load of thanks goes out to everyone who has contributed to the guides and development.

I have stumbled across one problem already, not sure if it is ROM specific or not. But on my stock ICS ROM I would average about 60fps on 2D graphics tests on quadrant, now after flashing CM10 they have dropped to about 30fps. Now I know benchmarks are inaccurate and not everything, but I was wondering if the ROM has really decreased my 2D performance that much?

Cheers all!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jkoch35:
I've been running the cm10 nightlies as my daily driver, but recently have been experiencing force closes on Maps (and Facebook, but who cares). Being I use maps frequently, I was going to give cm10 stable a go to see if that resolved the issue. I wiped cache/delvik, flashed cm10stable, flashed Gapps.. Optimizes apps then gets stuck on cm boot logo. Flash cm10nightly and it works again. Any suggestions here for resolving maps force close and or cm10stable flash?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Spyderekz:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ChaseBroyles:
A few days ago I noticed that there is a little black thing that looks like a bead in the headphone jack. I thought it was something that got stuck in there, but when I put my headphones in and pulled them out the black bead resurfaced, so I thought it was something to keep dust out or something.

About an hour ago I was curious and got a paperclip and pushed the bead back down, but it didn't come up. I then tried to put headphones in and they will only go in to the first ring and then just fall back out.

Is there anything I can do?

Can I get it replaced for free with my insurance?

Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ReapersDeath:
Not to sure about insurance. But the headphone jack Is easy to replace. Go find a galaxy s3 replacement headphone jack on ebay. Really simple to do. Take off the back cover, remove your battery, undo some screws, and then the headphone jack, just clips on and off the motherboard.

But I'd call a local sprint store first and ask if they can replace it. That or they will ask to repair it etc

I called and since there isn't a Sprint store near me they are sending a new phone in the mail. Thanks!

[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] eyal453:
Hi,

I bought a T-Mobile HTC 8X in the US, unlocked it and brought it back with me to Israel. Now, when Israeli contacts call me, their numbers appear as (for example) 050 555 5555. When they text me, the number shows up as +97250 555 5555. For some reason the phone isn't able to tell that those two are the same number. I couldn't find anything while looking through the settings. I tried playing around with regions and all and came up with nothing. My old AT&T Focus had no issues and my dad's British 8S is working fine as well.

If I remember correctly, In WP7 deivces there's a registry setting which allows to control how many digits from the right identify the number as unique. However, I couldn't find a registry editor for the 8X (is there any?) so that information won't help me right now.

So now, my caller ID function sucks and the only way to actually ID contacts is to save 2 numbers for each one... really frustrating.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks!

Eyal
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] eyal453:
HTC support emailed back

And after sending them my IMEI they said that unfortunately there's nothing they can do and T-Mobile phones show that symptom in places like Israel and Europe.

So, it's either selling it on ebay or waiting for a registry editor or flashing it with a new ROM somehow. Option #1 seems like the most realistic one at the moment. This really sux.

Eyal
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] drtolson:
Actually, if I remember correctly from my previous experience with unlocked phones, most true Caller-ID (where the phone can identify who is calling even if they AREN'T in your Contacts list) requires XML code embedded in the phone (somewhere, don't ask me where) by the provider. Some providers use the same frameworks, so it's possible to get it working from network to network, but in most cases no.

I've never seen a situation tho, where it couldn't pick up the name from the Contacts list, based on the number coming in. I seem to remember you can turn on a feature called "International Dialing Help" that might bring them both together. OR put the entire phone number in your contacts. (As it is displayed when it comes in on Text).
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] eyal453:
I tried saving the entire number, but because local Israeli numbers get an extra "0" the phone is not able to ID them. Local call comes in as 050-5555555. SMS, like an intl. call, comes in as +97250-5555555. The "International Dialing Help" really helps when you're dialing. I thought it would fix the caller-id issue but it doesn't.

I spoke with HTC and with WP8 support on twitter. It's a known issue for T-mo phones and according to WP8 support, it has been forwarded to the appropriate team which probably means it'll be fixed in months to come. Until then, the only option is to get the phone flashed by one of the Israeli carriers with the Israeli version of the OS.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] donec:
I just tried to use Nova and every time I turn my phone on it shows squares that say tap to restore widgets and each widget needs to be reconstructed. Example I use circle launcher lite for my icons and every time I reboot I have to setup the apps, icon and label for each widget. Also I use Power Toggles and each time I reboot I have to try and restore it but sometimes I get what appears to be small globes of the earth and can't do anything with them. I use Resizable Sticky Notes to show my appointments in text on the screen and every time I reboot all the info for it is lost.

What am I doing wrong? I am sure everyone else is not having to go through this or Nova Launcher would not be popular.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Forty.Two:

I wanted a completely clean ROM to start developing on. I have looked at CleanROM, but it has too many system apps.

These are the system APKs the ROM is currently running with.

ApexLauncher.apk
Bluetooth.apk
CertInstaller.apk
ConfigUpdater.apk
DefaultContainerService.apk
DownloadProvider.apk
DownloadProviderUi.apk
FusedLocation.apk
HTMLViewer.apk
InputDevices.apk
KeyChain.apk
LatinImeDictionaryPack.apk
LatinImeGoogle.apk
MediaProvider.apk
MediaUploader.apk
Nfc.apk
PackageInstaller.apk

Superuser.apk
SystemUI.apk
UserDictionaryProvider.apk
XT9IME.apk
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
Honestly the stock Nexus 7 build is pretty damn clean.

If you want to experiment with disabling APKs, try the built-in disable functionality in Settings / Applications / All. Any system app that can be safely disabled (and some that can't) will have a Disable button. This is safer to try out than zapping apk files yourself. If something goes wrong after disabling an app, you'll know you need it back.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Forty.Two:
I have narrowed down the APKs and it is working fine, but now the middle home navigation button doesn't do anything. I suspect it is one of the google search apps that I deleted, but which one? I always assumed the navigation bar was handled by systemUI. :/
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
Did you disable the launcher by accident?

Also I have heard that the OS immobilizes the home button until initial device setup is complete and then lets it work. Maybe it has something to do with that.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Forty.Two:
Thanks!

It was the setupwizard.apk! I deleted it to make changes too the ROM faster.

It makes perfect sense too. The power menu had limited options, the battery drop down bar was gone, and the home button wasn't working. Just like during the setup!

This is what I did to bypass the setupwizard.apk when it start up:

1. Launch adb shell

2. echo "ro.setupwizard.mode=DISABLED" >> /system/build.prop

3. Exit shell and issue an adb reboot.

4. Delete setupwizard.apk if you want

Now the ROM works fine with only 23 APK files in the /system/apps folder! That is a great improvement compared to the original 85.

Hi I recently changed my service provider from Mobilicity to Wind Mobile and now I cannot send any text messages.

Every texts I send out results in "Message Not Sent" right after I send out a message..

I did some research and it seems like I need to update my SMSC settings.. However I cannot access my SMSC setting on my S2X by entering *#*#4636#*#* into the dialpad as it disappears every time when I enter it completely..

Does anyone know how I could possibly go about to fix this?

(FYI I'm running Jedi Mind Trick X3)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JaylanPHNX:
You have to change your APN settings. These tell the phone what servers and such to send sms through. Hopefully your new carrier's website will have the proper settings on it somewhere. If not, call them.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] qwerty123321:
I've fixed it after alot of trial and error.

Apparently you need to delete all the past SMS from your previous provider before you are able to send any new messages using your new provdier.. on the default SMS app anyway. Handcent and other sms apps works regardless

Hi,

I have a very rare problem with my Xperia X10i. Namely quickly consumes battery. Calculated the average of the 5 minutes for 1% of the battery charge. Given the battery is discharged within 3-5 hours.

Xperia (unlocked bootloader, root and xRecovery). I have tried all ways, but none of them helped. I've done a full format of the new phone by installing the Android 2.3.3. Restored to factory settings, format the memory card, Avast antivirus scanning the phone.

I took it to the living room and said that it might have some short-circuit or short circuit in the phone. They said that in the middle of the phone is fine.

The problem appeared on the original batteries from Sony Ericsson BST-41. I thought maybe the fault lies in the battery so I bought a battery Andida 1700mHa but the effect is the same. The battery is exhausted within 3-5 hours. I thought the wine so it can rom. I installed rom from Wolfbreaka "uIBIDoom" which is 90MB, to no avail.

Its hard to tell if it is normal ( 5 hours battery life) because we dont know how are you using your phone. Watching youtube with wifi online can drain battery realy quick. GPS too, also playing games.
