I received an XDA IIs as a gift and before using it I looked up on Google to see if it was possible to instal WM5 on it...and I found your this great community, thanks for all your articles, they're precious. :)

I upgraded the device following the detailed procedure found on BlueAngel WIKI, and I have one big problem that is getting me crazy.

This is my Device Data info:

PH20B 0 B ITA A STARM404 1.40.04 0 4 1.40.199 1.13.00 13.00

Model No: PH2OB
Minor version Model No: O B

Language Code: ITA (Italian)
Minor: A

Operator code: STARM404
This is the code of how your device was sold as, not what SIM you are using.

ROM Version: 1.40.04
Minor: 0 4

Extended ROM version: 1.40.199

Radio Version 1.13.00
Minor: 13.00

Obviously that info pertains to the device before the upgrade to WM5.

After installing WM5, I noticed the device was very very slow when using some menus, I looked on Wiki and the forum and found out I had to disable some sounds. And that worked.

But I noticed that sound is completely NOT working, after turning off the checkboxes in the sound settings I solved the slowness problem but I can't selectively enable sounds, it simply doesn't work.

I looked around the forum and I noticed that it is a problem related to the wavedev.dll. I downloaded a couple of wavedev.dll and tried them, but none of them enabled sounds on my device.

I would really love to use the device with WM5 but without sounds it is useless (mainly for phone functionalities).

Is there a solution for my device? If not, where can I find some wavedev.dll files to try?

Thanks for your help.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sumasage:
When i press the a button it randomly click another button. It kind of hard to explain so i made a quick video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydm9OFiXxg4&feature=youtu.be

This happen on my wife's phone and her phone is rooted. After much trouble shooting (wipe, reboot, new rom, etc...) i think it probably hardware. This also happened on my sister's Nexus 4 and she is running stock. Both phone we purchase at the same time... maybe bad batch??

Does anyone encountered this or know how to fix it?

Thank you.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leboreiro:
So i flashed a mg4 rom without EFS backup and now i have to use mg4 or newers modems forever . my s3 is from movistar(vzla) i have a UBEMI1 baseband right now (didn't have to flash a mg4 modem to make my signal or imei work) .. this is the newest rom from movistar mexico for i9300 released on october 2013 . ..

I used the galaxy sim unlock tool , voodoo , and some other tools , tried to use the samsung s and II unlock code generator by patching my data.bin and the results are the same .. when i open the galaxy unlock tool it shows my phone as totally unlocked .. but when i try another carrier sim it ask me for a PIN CODE . so don't really know what to do here for free unlock my phone ..

- i have no older modem efs backup

-cannot buy a unlock code online because on my country (venezuela) the dollar currency is ilegal (yeah a cocksucker goverment here)

So have u guys any ideas for me?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
No you have to buy an unlock code. Dollars aren't the only currency in the world

[Xperia Play General] ozzmanj1:
I have posted a new thread at Sony Mobile Support requesting they support 2011 devices with KitKat, as apparently they announced they will update 2012 devices to kitkat.

Or, if Sony will not support the 2011 devices as they are beyond 18 months old, they should release the sources and let the dev community go to town.

Here is the thread at Sony Mobile Support, I would like all users to just take two minutes and voice your feedback in encouraging Sony to either update our PLAY or better yet, release all sources so that devs may do updates such as KitKat 4.4 to our PLAY.

Sony Mobile Support Thread:

http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperi...Xperia-devices-Xperia-PLAY/m-p/430889#U430889

Thank you and please show your support through the link above, I have informed Sony of this thread but if you all can please kindly post your comments on the thread above. If Sony doesnt see the comments of encouragement then they wont see it as worth it, in either way.

Edit - I am leaning towards Sony releasing sources as this will cost them nothing or a lot less then paying staff to make the 4.4 software upgrade and beta test it. Sources would be a lot more feasible, plus it would allow everyone to benefit with full access to our PLAY.

EDIT 2 - From Big_Smile, he made a very good suggestion to better our chances:

"Also, it would be a good idea to post your messages on Sundar Pichai's Google plus as he is the head of Google Android.

In order to use Android with Google services, manufactures have to follow certain rules that Google makes.

We should ask Sundar Pichai to compel manufacturers to release source files for older devices.

You can see my post asking him to do this here:

https://plus.google.com/+SundarPichai/posts/74nXKEeeMRx

(I've used my name Madhu Sharma).

If you agree, please +1 my comment but also post your own comment as well.

Unlike contacting Sony, this probably does have a good chance of becoming a reality if lots of people participate. Google do tend to listen and if it happened, they would make more money as more people would have access to their services.

Again, it only takes a few minutes to participate and this really could make a difference for everyone."

Thank you Big_Smile.

I forgot to add a Poll for this thread, any chance to still add it? I dont see it as an option.. after I made the first post.

Edit - Got the POLL Running
[Xperia Play General] ozzmanj1:
One more thing:

If everyone can select to vote to have this thread detailed on XDA Portal to gain attention that would great. See attached photo if you are unsure how to vote this thread on XDA Portal.
[Xperia Play General] big_smile:
I have contributed to the thread. I don't think it will do anything, but I think everyone should try.

It only takes a second (and you can login in with Gmail and Facebook, so you don't even need to set up an account).

You never know, if Sony gets a lot of requests, they will take action.

Also, post your message here as well:

http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/support/contact-us/contact-form/Other/en_GB/

Again, it probably won't do anything but it is worth a try and will only take a minute. Companies like Sony are always trying to find ways to show that they listen (as it earns them good publicity).

i doubt they will support it they wont support my xperia t which is 1.5ghz snapdragon s4 and 1gb of ram. this was their last 2012 flagship so they won't update any 2012 devices probably only 2013
[Xperia Play General] ozzmanj1:
At Big_Smile, that is an excellent idea and would stand a better chance then contacting Sony head on. I will add your suggestion to post 1 soon as I have a chance

Per Big_Smile's link to Sundar Pichai, I have added the following to his, please see attached.

Edit - Added this thread to my Google+ post reply to Big_Smile.
[Xperia Play General] big_smile:
I think another good idea would to be raise this issue on "This Week in Google" (TWiG).

TWiG is a podcast about Google & Android, that is often viewed by people who work at Google.

I have made a post on the TWiG Google Plus Community:

https://plus.google.com/115434784269286841659/posts/4GQVrDtLhTV

If you agree with what I have written, please +1 it and add your own comments and ideas.

I think if the post got around 50 - 100 +1s, there's a good chance someone from the show might notice it and so might consider discuss it on the next episode.

Again, it's a long shot, but it would only take a few minutes to contribute and it could stand a good chance of making 4.4 available for not just the Xperia Play, but many other older phones. As I've discussed in my Plus post, this could help a lot of people (and not just Play users).

Unlike other companies, Google does listen, so if we raise this issue in lots of places, there's a good chance that they might act on it.

[Xperia Play General] Nuck-TH:
Why ya keep asking for upgrade? IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN. Understand this already. Only thing, that *may* hapeen - opening sources of GB drivrs. Thats enough for communities of all old phones, so all people must focus on it, not on asking for upgrade, that, as said, WILL NEVER HAPPEN.

Y u gotta be so negative? You never know

[Xperia Play General] FaiselW:
This is sony we are talking about who are the second worst manufacturer to give updates (lg is worst) they probably won't update their 2012 devices so what makes you think they will update the play.
[Xperia Play General] narflynn619:
There's nothing wrong with trying. YOU'LL NEVER KNOW THE ANSWER UNLESS YOU TRY. So all of you negas, go somewhere else. You're of no use here.
[Xperia Play General] FaiselW:
Just like sony wouldn't give ics to the play yet everyone asked for it
[Xperia Play General] ~iSamur@i:
We are not negative, we are only realistic, it is absurd to think that a company will release an update (LOL) or the source code (double LOL) for a device of 2 years ago, it is against their interest.

BTW don't worry, probably I will go away, if I earn sufficient money to change both my laptop and the phone I will go away from the xplay this Christmas, if not sorry but this nega will remain for another year
[Xperia Play General] big_smile:
Even if they are unlikely to listen, it only takes 2 minutes max to ask them, so it's worth a try. Anyone can spare 2 minutes.

Also, I think the best strategy is to ask Google to force manufacturers to release source code, as they have a financial incentive to do so (as it will further their interests of making Android less fragmented, easier to develop for and making the latest Google Play apps available to all).
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] wetwea33:
I recently wanted to upgrade my stock with goodies 2.10 to viper boys new rom and i did so and it was working fine. I then installed elemental X kernal and my phone has been unusable since. I can boot into rtwrp and abd works but every rom i tried just wont work and being on 4.3 with S-on i can use the RUU to downgrade. I have been at it for two days and have just about given up its getting worse. Any help would be appreciated.

I have a spare Anker 2600 mAh batter that I've been using which came with the Anker wall charger, however I'm not impressed by the quality or rate of charging. Do you guys have any other alternatives for travel/wall chargers for spare batteries?

Thanks,
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] CZ Eddie:
Anything that delivers a true 2A (2 amps) is all you need. Search this sub-forum for titles including the word "charger" and you'll find a few recommendations.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] notstevek:
I had the anker that came with 2 batteries and the wall charger but HATED the charger. Ended up getting the oem Samsung extra battery plus charger. Charger is nice because it isn't attached to the ac plug. Plugs into wall has like 2 foot wire then you can rest the external charger on a flat surface. Yeah more expensive but realisticlly I don't need more than 2 batteries and the quality

of the charger is superb.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] ImNotTheDroidUrLooking4:
I have the same Anker charger. That things takes a long long time to charge

batterys.

However I have gotten used to the 10hours+ charge rate. I heard its a lot more gentle on the batterys.

One of my original Samsung batterys failed and I had to get it replaced using the 2 amp charger.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nearlydigital:
Its working for me... does it not seem a bit clumsy in its implementation? You've got to switch back and forth between sms/hangouts. Two separate conversations. Not sure what I was expecting... but I dont think this was quite it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ConeyKiller:
I was reading that 4.4 would have both SMS and MMS in hangouts.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Jamolah:
It's working for me very well. But still has some catching up to do even with the stock Galaxy s3 messaging app. Hangouts needs to be able to attach contacts or calendar or even a voice recording.

What do you mean?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nearlydigital:
One contact = two conversations. One for sms messages, one for hangouts messages :(
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] wizzbang3:
I'm sorry to post a full newbie post here regarding this but I'm trying to settle some debate and confusion online about Hangouts 2.0

Basically has google "done it right" this time and copied iMessage? (No, I'm not an Apple fanboy)

The advantage of iMessage is that it defaults to data when possible, fallsback to SMS when it has to.

It's also completely seamless, this is handled for you - no need to manually change from data to SMS mode or anything.

2 more points:

iMessage allows you to SMS a "new" phone number for someone you've never encountered before, iMessage detects the phone number is "iMessage-able" and simply sends via data, no kind of handshake / friendship needs to be setup

and finally

There's no "online" status required of iMessage, you need not "log in" or always be set to online, it's an SMS app natively but you can communicate with people over data without them knowing you're necessarily "online"

The advantages as follows.

Cheapest possible was of conversing with friends (assuming your SMS plan is NOT unlimited, I'm in a country where it's pricey)

Privacy / "aloofness" - the lack of an online / offline requirement allows you to ignore a message and respond at your leisure, be it 5 minutes, 5 hours or 5 days. If someone however sees a green O next to your name with Hangouts, the social pressure / obligation to reply is there, you can't just relax if that makes sense (I guess this is an introvert feature)

Sorry for the long post but I'm hearing conflicting reports online that google STILL screwed it up - but that's from people who have obtained the Hangouts 2.0 APK file and do NOT have 4.4 KitKat, rumour has it that's required for the full backend SMS "engine" update to work like iMessage?

Thanks all, really appreciate your time.

EDIT: This also covers what I'm trying to clarify.

Not to defend Hangouts being poorly designed. But don't call somebody a retard for that. Let's see you design it then. You'd be even more retarded probably.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Zwitterion:
You know the first step to improving Hangouts? Revert it to Google Talk. Its one thing to poorly build something from scratch. Its another thing entirely to worsen a decent, functioning product in the name of "upgrading" it. See Maps for the same pattern. And judging from reviews of both, I'm hardly the only one who feels this way. You couldn't even see who was online till the last update, for god's sake. That is plain retarded, sorry.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dragonstalker:
I'm thinking, it's missing a link to another app. Like it's looking for default sms, not actually having sms functionality itself. I saw a thread somewhere that had 4.4 apk pull from the Nexus. See if somebody can find the 4.4 SMS see if it installs then try again.

The default sms app is hangouts. Look at the system dump of the nexus 5, no native sms app but hangouts.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dragonstalker:
That doesn't sound right. Not like google to "force you to use" an app.

If that so, then my theory is shot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] XxSilent.NightmarexX:
Hangouts is pretty much imessage but multiplatform, also kit kat has a new feature where you can get another sms app and make it the default one of you'd like. So it's giving you more freedom if anything.
