[Xperia Play General] CyberScopes:
Power button sometimes gets stuck and my volume buttons and back cover are VERY squeaky.
[Xperia Play General] AzNTypeR:
Actually my Power Buttons fine, it's just that the varnish has gone so now theres a massive LED light now..

And I'm not sure if this is normal but my R Trigger feels looser than the L Trigger.
[Xperia Play General] abdel12345:
The paint on the 4 front buttons (back,search,home, and settings) started to chip off and another big problem that hasn't happened to me yet but lots of people complain about is the flex cable

Sent from my Xperia Play (r800x)
[Xperia Play General] CyberScopes:
Yes also for me, the paint is starting to come off.
[Xperia Play General] iRhyiku:
Same here, its very loose :/ L is fine though..

The only other problem i have is my back button being too squishy, theres no force needed to push it!

I have had no problems with the power button because I never use it :silly: I mapped search to be power instead as its easier to access and I never used search lol
[Xperia Play General] TLRtheory:
Zilch for me.

...the only problem I really have is that the previous owner messed up the front camera when replacing the flex cable. My original Xperia Play (which is now in the hands of a long-time friend) has absolutely NO hardware issues at all.

The only real problems were that:

• Internal memory sucked (which we can easily remedy with Link2SD - I've done it and now I have 471 installs while having 283MB free)

• Stock launcher was weak (also an easy fix - I've found ssLauncher to be the smoothest, most aesthetically appealing option)

• Stock browser was laggy (get Opera, it's not only the best mobile browser, but it's completely smooth on Xperia Play)

• Didn't natively come with notifcation toggles (which can be fixed with notifications)

...but by far and large... the biggest complaint is just that it's not "officially" supporting ICS. I take a rather extreme stance of "are you guys on crack?!" when someone tries to point this out as a valid point. This is not a damn iPhone... meaning it doesn't work on the same restrictive principles as the iPhone. On iOS, there's no getting around the fact that you need a newer FW to get features. On Android, we aren't so much affected in the same manner. Yeah 4.2.2 brings lock screen widgets... but everything dating back to 2.1 has already had those features through external apps like widgetlocker. We can get data management without 4.x.x, and even have that holo theme take over our Xperia Play. So, for us... anything above 2.3.7 is more of a bragging right... and it's a bragging right that compromises the stability of our games and compromises how much of the RAM we have... that ain't very "baller" to me.

Somebody give this guy a medal, please? Makes me love my XPlay even more (even if "she's" very sickly).
[Xperia Play General] Bakisha:
My xPlay is more than year old, and so far she don't have any hardware issues. And even when i get newer phone, i plan to flash some gingerbread rom without phone capabilities and use it as psx/c64 platform untill she dies in my hands... :)
[Xperia Play General] ozzmanj1:
My R800x is almost 2 years old, still have that despite moving to a R800at, which was in new condition. But both phones and my R800x are in great condition with no hardware issues whatsoever.

And despite playing with a GS3 for 2 weeks it was nice but didnt wave my flag, so I went, nah, and went back to my PLAY. No regrets when I moved from R800x to R800at, especially since i snagged a prototype AT&T model with no branding on it and it was already bootloader unlocked. Had to unlock the sim lock but that was no big deal. Is our phone dated hardware wise yes, but would I give it up for a GS4, nope. I know some people will think it odd and call me crazy but there is nothing like using this phone for some online MC3 or Lets Golf 2 or shadowgun or Bards Tale, or especially the Tiger Arcade CPS1/CPS2/NeoGeo emulators......

Best thing on the world for phone and gaming in my opinion. $ony needs to make another XP2, but doubtful since they want to try and resuscitate the Vita... anyways, no issues but per bliss.
[Xperia Play General] ps3taker:
does it have an hdmi out as the first demo units did or is it a later prototype without please?
[Xperia Play General] ozzmanj1:
No HDMI out, I had made a thread on it, see post 8 for images:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2088271

Noticed the ebay listing is gone, one of the photos showed the back with the battery out and it clearly states "Prototype not for sale", and on the bottom of the front keys there is a serialized number on it. Also the IMEI starts with 044 which I have read means its a proto model. If you'd like me to make a photo of the back let me know, of course I will blur out the last half of the IMEI #.

Edit - Added photos. See attached.
[Xperia Play General] bartmw:
My contract ends next week and... I decided to stay with my XP. I know is little bit outdated and latest games not running smoothly but it's still fun.

Later someone mention that better is to connect to tv and use pad to play but try to do that waiting in queue or bus, during lunch time or waiting for your missus trying another dress...

If want to play good quality game I turn on my PC or Xbox.

Modified ROMs give us nearly all functions that new phones have. I not much gamer to have extra pocket device with me and smudging on screen to play is not fun either. I still have hope that Sony realize that chase after Apple, Samsung etc. Is not only copy other devices but to make some unique moves. Sometimes I thinks that get rid Ericsson was mistake, I used since 1018 long time ago.

Back to topic. I have my XP for 2 yeaes now, no major issues.

I have problem with touchpads, they not working always. I need to turn off phone, remove battery and they back. Tried different roms, kernel, back to stock and even send twice to Sony. I can live with that.

Heard that ribbon is problem. I have change that but it happen when fallen down to river with my XP inside pocket. When dried out phone back to life but later screen started flickering.

Sorry for boring post but I love my XP.
[Xperia Play General] AzNTypeR:
Also, another problem is that the Front Camera's gone completely Green and Fuzzy. May be down to the amount of times that I've dropped it, before it wasn't that bad but now it simply refuses to work.
[Xperia Play General] abstractbeats:
On my third Play, but not through anything breaking by itself. My first was stolen, my second didn't survive my dropping it in a sink full of water. Water = not good for sure, and I'm paranoid about the flex cable. Interestingly each that I had tried with let me overclock to 1.5GHz at stock voltage, but I use OC sparingly.

It's an absolute essential to get the Trident case IMO, it saved my last play from being dropped on concrete twice I'm sure and to protect the buttons. Honestly, if anyone is thinking about getting it and worrying about the price: please if you can at all afford it, just get it. It'll save you money on a broken phone some day.

And also honestly it's the only phone for me, even if imperfect. I can either choose between GB and some new 4.0+ only apps not being available (for me, BBC radio player), or ICS and some circle button and game incompatibilities (krisdee's Hybrid rom + LuPus ICS/GB 480p seems a viable combination for game performance and general stability at least though, which is great). Not tried JB. But either way, it's more game playing than I'd do on any device without buttons regardless of the specs. Even if it only played emulators, it would still be "cool" to me.

I agree Opera is the smoothest browser, I've always found that, particularly on GB. And yes the speakers are so very useful, I use it as a mini "radio" all the time.

I am having a major issue with the wifi on my i9500!!

So I bought this phone from a guy.. he said the phone is never used and by looking at the condition, it seemed he was telling the truth!!

So anyways... I buy it, come home and I double check everything on the phone and also try my wifi network... I couldn't connect to my home network!! Its the same network that I connected my macbook, my previous phones (s3 and note 2)... every other device works fine except this s4!!!

So i thought the phone was faulty, and thats the reason the guy sold it to me!!!

So... I borrowed another i9500 from a store and asked them i need to check if my home wifi works... and again same thing.. It doesnt work on my home network!!

I also tried going in yorkdale mall and checked my girlfriends note 2 and my s4 and tried connecting to the open network!!

NOTE 2 connected in 15-20 seconds.. while the s4 never connected and kept on saying "acquiring IP address".. I tried connecting to my home network by doing "Advanced Connection" and manually adding the IP address.. IT CONNECTS! But i cannot do anything.. theres no internet access!!

Now im confused as to if my home network is the issue here, but if that was the case.. why did my girlfriends note 2 connect to the open network at yorkdale mall while mine didn't connect at all!!!

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!! I USE internet by this company called "CIK"... yeah my dads trying something new... we definitely get more speed on every device!! so its definitely better that way! but the only problem is i cannot connect my s4... Now i dont know if its the s4 itself, or my home network!!!

I need wifi... yes i do have 6gb data plan, but then i'll be going out of country soon and i'll be needing wifi for sure!!

sorry for the confusion... but all i need is to get my wifi working.. or if the device's wifi is faulty, how can i find that out for sure! :)

any help would really be appreciated! :)

thanks in advance people!! :)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SignetSphere:
this happened to my older brother's s4 too we even sent it back to our retailer thinking its a factory defect but it turns out to be router incompatibilities. I suggest replacing your router to a preferably future-proof one, the ones with the ac standards. Routers such as netgear or asus are some of my recommended ones :)

http://www.asus.com.au/Networks/product.aspx?P_ID=LzShv8ma7TrQB4eO&templete=2

http://www.netgear.com/home/products/wirelessrouters/ultimate-performance/R6250.aspx#

if you use a dsl connection use a dual-band router with adsl support such as these products.

ok, happend to my sisters s4 today, when i got it for her because she liked mine so much, anyways, niether my phone or her connects to Her home router, but her old iphone 5 does. and her husbands s3 does. so i replaced there router with this one

http://www.tp-link.us/products/details/?categoryid=238&model=TL-WR941ND

and i called the SP for her network information. and programmed the new router with this PDF guide

http://www.tp-link.us/resources/document/TL-WR941ND_V5_QIG_7106504193.pdf

WORKED LIKE A CHARM

the s4 just has new wifi technology that old routers are not compatible with, so at least thats what samsung said when i called them [MENTION=4272684]roni2915[/MENTION]
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlueEyes99:
so first of all i own a galaxy s (very first one) used to own a galaxy s3 and now a galaxy s4 and everyone works fine with my router BUT the reason I am posting here is, that both of my wifes iphones (3gs and 5) had problems with my router and I was able to fix it by using a different encryption method. I used to have my router on WPA/WPA2 and changed it to WPA2 only and now i am having no compatibility issues plus i didnt have to downgrade my encryption security.

oh and regarding this new "wifi technology" which the s4 happens to use, my router is 2 years old and with the above settings it connects just fine

maybe you find my post helpfull
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calinormy:
Just unplug your router for 10 seconds and then plug it back. Try again to connect to your router. Maybe your router doesn't see you new device.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SignetSphere:
My s3 and my sister's sony xperia acro s and other wifi devices works fine on our previous router. Only the S4 isn't. It always gets stuck on obtaining ip address then fails to obtain one saying the network is too slow and thus got disabled. When we changed our router to a new one it connected instantaneously so i'm pretty certain that this is a router incompatibility issue.

We're using this one btw http://www.tp-link.us/products/details/?categoryid=219&model=TD-W8980 took a week to arrive from the US shipping from our relatives there :P
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidizen:
Classic router issue, every new generation of phone will have some issue with older access points, in most cases a firmware update to the router / ap can solve the issue, though it does depend how old the AP is and the manufacturer. some Public hotspots are very very very old!

---------- Post added at 08:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:06 AM ----------

This can work but its rare in my experience, though sometimes factory resetting the AP can help if you have configured it for high band 54GX2 or what ever its called (double speed N) which wasnt standardised to begin with and thus has some issue with devices who are working on the standard. Dropping back to N or G can solve the issue.. just depends on router and setup.

As dumb as thus sounds have you taken a photo on the phone yet? For some reason the phone doesn't make its internal memory available as a hard drive until you have taken at least one photo.

Alright, here's the answer for anyone else that feels as dumb as me. I guess google and microsoft got into bed on this one...

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ovoxo.:
I currently have both the One and the S4 in my possession, trying to decide which one is going back. I was thinking about how I can't wait to change the software on either one to a stock Google rom and got to thinking.. If we install a rom that isn't based off sense, are we going to basically be stuck with a 4 megapixel camera since there is no HTC software optimization? At least the S4 is 13 megapixels and can hold its own. Also, what about sound quality? Will that be affected as well? If that's the case, the S4 may be the keeper since I can't stand both TW or Sense.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the2dcour:
The software doesn't optimize the picture, we simply have a larger sensor and wider aperture than most other phones. You will never print an 8x10 of your 4mp images but they will look amazing on small to medium displays.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NxNW:
Note there *are* some software-based camera-related features that you will lose if you replace Sense with an AOSP ROM. (Zoe springs to mind, maybe the instagram-ish filters and other editing tools). It's not just about resolution.

Guys I need help!!

As of today my GS3, CM 10.1 RC1, only plays audio through ONE headphone in some apps. The Phone app, and some other apps work just fine and play through both headphones (left and right). But for some reason some apps will only play audio through one of the headphones. What gives?!!

I've tried googling this and can't seem to find what's wrong. Please help!!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dima470:
First, check those headphones. 2. see if mono audio is enabled in audio options(shouldn't cause this though) 3. Try a custom kernel.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nnorton00:
I'm having the same issue. I'm having sound through my right headphone only. Only started when I updated to CM 10.1 RC1 on my GS3. I have tried 4 separate headphones with no luck. I first noticed it in the Apollo app, then I quit that and tried Pandora. Pandora worked fine for one song then it went back to the right headphone only. I tried the Google Play Music app and it was right ear only. Tried Pandora again and it is back to right ear only. Then back to the Google Play Music app and after one song in the right ear it went back to both speakers for exactly one song, then when the next song started it went back to right ear only and has stayed that way.

Edit: Verizon GS3 just to clarify
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dima470:
Make a nandroid backup and flash a stock rom and see if the problem persists. Sounds like it might be a hardware problem. But before that try cleaning out your headphone jack to.

Tried to link the JIRA post but haven't made enough posts to make an outside link, its #CYAN-1013 if you are wondering.

I have installed and can verify that this has fixed this issue.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] kingskater:
Yes!! Flashing the latest nightly (cm-10.1-20130510-NIGHTLY-d2att.zip) fixed the issue. Thank god, this one was a weird one because i flashed other roms and the issue persisted. Glad that flashing the newest nightly took care of it! Sucks that the 10.1 RC1 has glitches :(

***UPDATE****

I suspect the problem originates from a corrupted efs file. *#06# gives null/null for IMEI. I need to find a way to re-write the original IMEI (I know it).

Hi,

I've got a Galaxy Note II I need to get serviced. The issue is it cannot read a SIM card.

The device was rooted by somebody else (not me) so I have no idea what they've done. There is no nandroid backup.

When in Download Mode, it says custom, and under phone status, it displays 'modified'

I've attempted CFs method to re-root and reinstall stock recovery, using triangle-away, unrooting and restoring, but it still shows modified.

Everytime I use triangle away, it says it's unable to display flash counter, but when use triangle away to get to recovery, it displays a flash counter of 1. Every time I've tried this, it's still the case.

What can I do to fix this? I'm currently in the process of using the noteII toolkit to try and restore to factory, root, reset counter, unroot and restore, hopefully it can fix it.

is there something I'm missing? Help is appreciated.
