Yeah I've also bought a Nexus 5 but i won't sell my Xperia Play because it's such a unique phone. It's running JB 4.1 atm and is my alarm clock :). I try to not leave the Xperia Play community completely and I hope that we'll get some progress with the 3.4 kernel soon.

I have gone through 3-4 phones and still have my play. So no reason to sell it just because I bought another phone.

as you guys may know i leaved xperia play section about 5 minutes ago :(

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=49452014&postcount=75

i bought my xperia play about 2 years ago (for my good grades in school and ... )

for about a year the phone was with locked bootlader (i didn't know what bootloader or even root is :p )

the first time i tried to root the device with ginger break and i get angry because it was not working. i was scared too (i wanted to install ics rom on my play )

after too many google searches i finally rooted my device and installed darkforest rom on it(yes, without unlocking bootlader and flashing any kenrel )

for two days i had a break phone and i thought that i losed my phone but i finally found out how to fix it

and ...

this was a little story of my xperia play

I have moved on to Xiaomi Hongmi 3g (beware of fake hongmi's for sale the shop i linked sells genuine Xiaomi phones) It has native miui v5 and decent specs for ~150 euro it's a nice phone, I still have my play but touch screen is getting worse and volume buttons fell off. I will miss using my play on a daily basis was a great phone not having a 2.6+ kernal really held it back, hope a 3.4 kernal comes for it soon. I used gin2jellybean rom with nova launcher and miui 5 theme great times and will miss this forum and all the great devs that kept my device enjoyable long after sony left the scene.

[Xperia Play General] niceguygamer:
You Know it shocks my Damn Mind. That Companies don't want to get more rich.. An Xperia play 2 with real analog sticks, or any companies device for that matter would sell Hugely. The Nvidia shield is the only device, but its not a phone, nor is it usable like a regular tablet.

A new Xperia play cant steal sales from The ps vita, the ps vita is a standalone device with Unreal Graphics and Remot play options with Ps3/4.

Just wish some company would make a New one. A Nexus 5 with a Ps vita style body with Real Accurate Analog sticks would be a dream...
[Xperia Play General] Megalobits:
I'll move onto a Moto X very soon but I will keep my XP as a 2nd device (casual gaming) and waiting if nickholtus have the magic to get a fully functional 3.4 kernel (hopefully because this phone and his community deserve it) :fingers-crossed:

All hail the xperia play! :)
[Xperia Play General] ReiverBlade:
and what about the opposite : i had a S3 but needing money and having only a UMI X1 (which even by being dual core is on the level of a Play) i brought a cheap Xperia Play used (but still in awesome shape) ... oh well i have seen some PPSSPP vids and i think it might just suits my need till im back into "high ends"

so this is not good bye ... but a warm welcome...

ok im off topic O.o sorrrrryyy

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hellyeahdykk:
Hi, I have been looking all over the internet and search the xda thread but I couldn't find anything related to my problem.

So this morning when I wake up, I turned on my phone and after I used it for awhile suddenly my phone stopped working (freeze/hang) and started to reboot itself. After it reboots my phone's screen as per attached below.

The problem lasted for a day and started to driving me nuts!

Anyone experienced same problem?

I am running KK4.4.2 fyki.

Thank you very much for your kind help!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xBeerdroiDx:
are you unlocked, rooted, custom recovery, rom, kernel, anything? can you access the bootloader?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hellyeahdykk:
Nope, I am all stock without any modification nor and fancy stuffs.

Just pure android 4.4.2

I am thinking that the hardware might be faulty..
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
If you're stock, it could be hardware. Though have you ever attempted to root?

Is it just randomly happening?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
Definitely hardware
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hellyeahdykk:
Yes, it just randomly happening. It started yesterday morning until now..

The phone started to not responding at all and then my screen goes broken (same screen as broken TV I might say).

If I let it cool for 15-20 minutes the phone is usable, but then after 1 hour of normal usage the phone started to freeze again.

Just curious, none of you experienced the same?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Enddo:
this kinda looks like the static i was getting on screen on my n7 2012 when i let the battery get too low. charging it up and a few reboots fixed it. but im not sure if that's what is going on with yours
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
I just got mine, 32gb from the playstore, a few days ago, and nothing like that.

If it's happening when your device is hot | overheating, you may wana see if you get it replaced.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yoskor:
It happened to me once. The phone was with his screen off and when I try to turn it on that exact same screen came. But it just happened once, also I experienced random poweroffs and reboots. I did a factory reset and power off issues and freeze stops, but had one reboot once I start installing my apps. I think its a software issue but I'm not sure.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZombiQc:
I'm glad (and kinda of sad) to know that I'm not the only one with this issue.

The problem started about two weeks after I bought mine(Telus). It's done this about 5 or 6 times,randomly.

I found that having someone call me will "unfreeze" the device and the screen gets back to normal.

The first couple times it happened, I was running stock 4.4.2. I since rooted it and installed Xpposed/GravityBox and I'm still getting the problem...

I think that I'll have to return it...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yoskor:
Idk if i need RMA the phone. Its a great phone and the reboot issues has stopped. What should i do?

Edited: Nevermind my phone have defective gpu. i will RMA it
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaune:
Same problem

Hi, I have the exact same problem, I posted a video on youtube /watch?v=m0EkC_ak01g but I got to the same conclusion that it might be a GPU issue. So there is nothing I can do right?, the worst thing is Im in Argentina and LG dont take my warranty because I bought it in Germany. So there is absolutely nothing I can do?, I know how to avoid the flickering a little bit, when I hit "Ok Google" button it seems responsive and as long as I touch the screen it works (you can see it in the video) but as soon as I stop touching it, after 2-3 seconds it becomes unresponsive again, and when I say unresponsive Im saying the screen doesnt reflect what Im doing, I can still push the buttons and all. So Im not 100% sure its a GPU issue, but a software too. Thanks.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jastonas:
I find it strange that no one has requested this feature. I find very annoying the menu button even though I've been using phones with it (Samsung) since 2010. Finally samsung has changed it's layout and it's new devices will have the recents instead of the menu button.

Is there a way or mod to replace the menu button with recents, or at least add the recents button?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] revan17:
If you are rooted, install G2 Xposed.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VonSohn:
I hear you, man. After using a Nexus 4 for some time, switching to my G2 proved to be quite painless, except for the menu button and the long-press recent apps home button configuration. I don't understand why the keep such setting, forcing us to root in order to change it.

Knowing that KitKat offers no adaptive menu button repositioning, I guess LG should at least give us the option to change the standard layout. If not, root should be the way to go, but I don't like to be forced to do that one bit.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Anton.Valleyman:
Hi

Yesterday I put the new Orange ROM on my o2 Exec, but have now gone to the fully-released i-mate one as I believed it is better. However, I REALLY like both the Orange.tsk (the 600k one, not the 100ish one they provide in the official rom) and the Orange dialer. In a blonde moment, I almost thought that if I copied the Orange .cab to install the video telephony, etc, it would copy the graphics across. I quickly came to my senses.

I've got the Orange theme on the phone now and I really like it, but it would be very much appreciated it someone could post the files to the Orange dialer? I've searched but can't find anything.

For info, you can find the filenames in the registry: HKLM > Security > Phone > Skin > Dialer > landscape and portrait.

Cheers

Hi,

Would be interested as to why you think the I-Mate Rom is better. Am thinking of changing my M5000 Rom but not sure as to what one to change it to.

Thanks
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Anton.Valleyman:
Dunno. Just a gut feeling, I suppose. Speed of moving through menus, plus I was getting that garbled Start bar issue after fullscreen apps closed. I may have seen the odd i-mate rom'd post with that issue, but I never had it with mine.

With the test build of the imate rom - and hopefully with the full one - I finally felt my Exec was performing and behaving as it should.

Goes without saying that anyone wishing to do this, must first turn wireless mode on else you'll get a file-in-use error and won't be able to copy. Happened to me in a schoolboy error moment earlier today. The voda backdrop looks much better than the o2 / Orange ones, but wish they hadn't put the voda speechmark logo on it!!

Thanks again for the files, guys.

My turn for the chool boy error then? Can't copy via AS, what's the process?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Anton.Valleyman:
Hehe, I did mine via the phone itself.

1) Wi-fi'd the files to My Documents

2) Turned flight mode on and then soft reset

3) Once rebooted, confirmed phone was still of, then using Resco File Explorer, copy the files into \windows, saying yes to overwriting

4) Soft reset

After it came back, pressed phone and the dialer is now in the new format.

HTH

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robatkills:
Hey friends,

I really looked everything up, but I could not find anything what helped me with my problem.

I have a Galaxy S4 (GT-i9505) and I wanted to update my modem from MKE to ML6. Because I had some issues with updating it (there still was the MKE at my "Status" after updating to ML6), I tried to double-overwrite it (someone wrote at a forum, that that will solbe the overwriting method). So, I started Odin 3.09 and deleted the "Auto Reboot" option. After the first flashing, I took out the battery and replaced it again. Then I did a secound modem flashing. The result was: There was still the MKE modem AND I cannot call anyone. Everytime I try to call someone and I click the call button, my Galaxy seems to crash. The screen is getting black and I have to shut it down by holding the power button for several secounds. Of course, I already tried out other modems (like to MKE modem again and MJ8), but the problem still exists.

Could anybody please help me!

Thanks,

Robert

Have you tried changing rom + modem? you cannot just randomly try modems with a certain rom as some will work others not.

Yes, I tried both the Google Roms 4.4 and 4.3, as well as several other custom roms.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Repulsa:
it seems that your doing in a wrong way mate Try this , Turn OFF your Phone Manually (Wait about 5 sec) Now press and hold Power+VolumeDown in order to reach Download mode. Open odin select PHONE/CP (Find the modem you download) Connect the cables (check to see if it shows added on top/or should be a blue?Notsure or wait atleast 10 sec) then click start ,once done , remove the cable. and after done rebooting go to you phone setting>More>Device info and check if your baseband version change. have a nice day.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robatkills:
Thanks, but that is what I have done at least ten times. I tried Odin3.04 and Odin3.09. I tried MKE, ML6, MJ8. I tried Google Roms 4.4 and 4.3, as well as other custom roms. That's weird!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A|ex:
I have never had any luck with 3.09 i always stick to 3.07, where are you getting your modems rom?

Mind giving this a shot?pull your battery out wait a few sec atleast and put it back and then hold and press power+volume down /follow the tutorial on top. Check to see if the modem gonna change .

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pfeffernuss:
Had the same thing yesterday, tried all sorts of modems, with no avail.

Ended up flashing a stock rooted Rom (MGA), flashing a custom recovery and restored a Nandroid. Forgot that flashing a complete stock Rom usually also wipes the internal SD so that was a bit of a hassle.

Now, running a new Rom again, with Wifi, sound and being able to make/receive calls again. Easiest fix also: flash a (compatible) stock Rom :good:
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robatkills:
Thank you mate. I also found (5 sec before I read your post) this post here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=46969768&postcount=2

So, everything works now. The short version for other guys with the problems is:

- flash stock rom via Odin (PDA)

- you can find the stock rom for your country at sammobile.com

- also use the "pit-file" of the linked post (but I don't know, what the pit-file is changing?!)

optional:

- re-root your device again, because now it is not rooted

- new custom rom

Thanks for every help!!!

Try flashing ML6 Firmware and ML6 Modem (and Wi-Fi fix if needed), had the same issue but after doing so it's fixed.

Occured 1 time again, did a cache wipe didn't occur in 2days now.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pfeffernuss:
Except flashing the Wifi Fix was the thing I did to ruin it all. Don't flash a "new" Wifi fix using an old bootloader. You will lose sound/being able to make calls. It's the thing that messed it all up over here.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guller:
I was already on the new bootloader.I've flashed Original FW, Modem + Wi-Fi fix and it fixed my phone. (Possibly also PIT but can't remember)

It can be that our problems were different but produced the same problem.. I'm not a dev nor do I understand everything about Android.

I can be wrong, but that's how I fixed my phone. Just trying to help

I was already thinking about doing this, but from what I've read somewhere else, each CC's flash memory is encrypted with a per device key, so if that is the case then there is no chance of this working without finding a way to get the keys.

I just starting having this issue last night...out of nowhere while the phone was plugged in, it said "Unable to charge. Use the original charger."

The odd thing is it actually charges a little in between the messages popping up, so it makes no sense...it's an obvious contradiction. lol I did a reboot but that didn't fix it. I'm using the oem charger.

This morning it happened a few more times but after unplugging and plugging back in quite a few times, it seems to have stopped - it appears to be charging normally (for now), but I'm still concerned!

Any suggestions/ideas?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkhawkff:
I've seen it happen now and then on my phone. Usually it just means the charger isn't very well suited. This happened when I was using the charger for an MSI Tablet that my wife uses and keeps plugged in in the living room. It does charge very very slowly.

On another note, I actually had the phone tell me last night while I was outside that the battery was too cold and that it couldn't charge while hooked up to my external battery pack.....now THAT was funny.
