Xperia PLAY :: SIM Card Does Not Allow A Connection To Network?
Sep 26, 2011
I have the phone rooted and unlocked, and it seems to not work with t-moblie. "no service selected network (t-mobile) unavailable". I have tried doing all the resets, but to no avail.
i have a data plan and i'm able to browse to just about any website and use it. but watching a video on Internet doesn't work.i can go to Internet, see the video thumbnails, but when i wanna play one i always get this message "wireless network connection has been disconnected. please try again."
note that watching Internet videos works fine when i am on my home wifi router. the problem is when i am out using the 3g.btw my apn settings are correct: telus.bb.com.the odd thing is that it worked a couple weeks ago. so what's the deal?
I have Xperia Z2 D603 which I dropped and the back of it got cracked and now I have issues of network, my phone can't last even 10 min without losing the signal, and when I do have signal it is only 1 bar or 2 in the centre of city. I want to know if replacing the back of the phone will fix the issue or I have to replace exact thing.
It's happened before..But then I factory resetted my phone and it seemed alright for a couple of months but it then started back again today.Suddenly at some places I lose network signal (i.e. from my provider) and obviously it should come back when I go somewhere or whatever.But this time it won't even connect. I've shut down my phone, taken out the battery, taken out the SIM card..EVERYTHING. And I just can't seem to connect back to my network provider. (This isn't WI-FI I'm talking about - just basic network. I can't recieve texts, or anything - and everyone one in my house's network is working perfectly fine!)My phone runs on the original launcher and I only have a couple of apps on it (i.e. just normal whatsapp etc. - NO GAMES)It has about 500MB of free space on the SD Card too.
I can be browsing the internet on my phone, i put the phone down for a while then when i try to go back on the net it wont work. I have to disable the wifi connection then reconnect for the phone to connect to the internet. This happens everytime i try to go on the net. Every other device in the house ie phones laptops etc works fine with no connection problems.
The micro usb charging connection has broken on my phone. Part of the board that the charger connects to has snapped off, (the V+ pin used for charging).
I have taken the phone apart and can see the micro usb connection that needs to be replaced but can't seem to find an exact replacement anywhere. I orderd these from Wurth [URL] and am waiting for them to come.
Also has anybody ever changed this component that can tell me the best way to do it (i.e. use a heat gun to take off old one) or point me in the right direction off some instructions (you tube video perhaps).
I recently bought the Xperia play 4g but seems to have trouble connecting 4g. how to turn the 4g on so I could get access to the internet w/o having to use a wi-fi? I encountered the same problem with my mom's Samsung Infuse but figured it out. I just need to know how to turn the network data on in this thing
I updated to the newest update (the offical ways) my phone is completly untouched.But now i can`t get acces to my cellular network. It finds the network, but when i try to get my phone to register with it, it simply says the sim card does not allow it.I tryd rolling back to the old firmware/os and the phone is back to normal, and i got accses to the cell network.So i tryd updateing again ( over the air... flashed the file manuelly) still the same.
I have an Xperia PLAY and recently the screen went fuzzy and I couldn't see anything so I had it repaired. However when I got it back it will not connect to my network which is Vodafone Ireland. When I try to connect it says "Your SIM Card does not allow a connection to this network". I have changed the mode from WCDMA and GSM and vice versa but still it won't connect. I even got a new sim card to try that. It will work with any of my older phones but not this one. The phone works perfectly at everthing else including internet by Wi-Fi but not as a phone.
I have an Xperia PLAY R800at with 2.3.3. Whenever I'm using my bluetooth device and reconnect to my wifi network, I lose bluetooth packets for 5-6 seconds. This does not happen when I compare against the Nexus S sitting right next to the Xperia PLAY.
This is a really bad problem, and is probably going to result in me not using my PLAY at all.
I recently dropped my phone about 2 feet and the screen cracked a bit in the upper right-hand corner. The phone has been fine for about a week since the incident, no problems at all. Yesterday I noticed there was some slight bugginess with regards to the touchscreen. I turned it off then back on, and it began to be unresponsive entirely, so I put the phone away and ignored it for a minute. I try again and it works just fine. A few minutes later, the same issue happened again, but I had no luck just ignoring it. I am unable to unlock my phone at all. I can still navigate through the power options just fine using the d-pad. I tried connecting it to a computer and to a power source and had no luck with that either. The phone won't charge and won't mount on a computer.
I don't know if this is a problem with Android in general, but my Play's battery will literally die in ~8 hours when not connected to wifi. As I write this, the phone is just sitting here next to me, not being used, and it's drawing 149mA; this number goes up substantially if the phone is actually active, or if I simply hold it in my hand. Obviously, the phone has poor reception and is expending a lot of energy to hold the signal. If I turn wifi on, it's only drawing 1mA! What the heck is the problem? Is this normal?
The facts:
-Only happens while using 3G.
-Only things syncing are one Twitter and one exchange account.
-Not using a live wallpaper.
-Wifi is turned off when I leave the house so as not to keep searching.
I'm getting so tired of monitoring this things battery. I just want to use my phone.
My phone lost connection and hasn't been able to find a network for calls/texts etc for past 24 hours in multiple locations where I know there is a good network signal from other phones here. I've tried upgrading the software through PC companion and that hasn't resolved the issue. (It's not in airplane mode and I've also tried powering on/off/on, cleaning SIM card etc)
i was on tmobile using a tmobile sim card on an old motorola with all my contacts (my vivaz pro is being fixed). i transferred to att service and tried to use my tmobile sim card to upload contacts, and it cannot read.
I bought a Sony Ericsson Xperia Play from the Sony Store in Erin Mills on September 18th, 2012. It was in good condition, but I recently got it unlocked. Upon receiving my unlocked Play, I noticed that the SD card isn't mounted. I tried numerous times resetting the phone and trying to see what was wrong but I can't seem to fix it. My SD card works when I insert it into my PC, and it still has all the files. I even tried other SD cards and it still couldn't mount.
I recently changed the micro sd card out to a 32gb to enable a more serious approach to gaming etc. However, since doing that I have not been able to get any of the gameloft games to download and install correctly. The existing game that I had previously will operate when I put in the older (Smaller) SD card. Photos and music transferred over, but not with the correct file path. Therefore they con not be viewed. I have spent quite a bit of time trying to work it out, previous discussion threads have not correctly outlined the procedure. Having the expandable memory is designed to make this phone more marketable. Not telling people how to do it makes the phone significantly less marketable.

My phone ran out of battery and now the apps stored on my SD card won't always show up. The card is fine as I can use my music. If I copy an app from SD to phone an then back it will show but when i restart the phone it will dissapear again. i have tried un mounting and re-mounting the card but no joy.
I'm having trouble working out how to play music from my SD card with Walkman. I can play one song at a time when i find it in File Commander but i was wonderinghow i can put my music on the Walkman app so i can search for different songs easier.
The software on my SD card got accidentally deleted. MY phone does nor prompt to install PC Companion when I connect it to New PC /Notebook. How do I get it back to to my SD card ?
My Xperia play suddenly stopped reading the SIM card today. Someone on facebook gave me your phone line but it costs a fortune and I've been sat on it now for 10 minutes and not got much help.Does anyone know where I can get a sim reader from for the phone?
I upgraded my firmware with PC Companion.I have been using my Xperia without any problem till the update for a year. After the update I placed my sim card, it asked for SIM PIN and the pin accepted. I waited for the region, chose it, then it poped out Please insert SIM and restart. I tried everything, reseat the SIM,checked my SIM, it is fine with other mobiles, wiped it, as I said before it asks for pin, then I went through changing the pin number, it said there is no sim card.
I've had an issue since the update with any video taken and written to the micro sd card producing 'cannot play' The meta data is there but the file size registers as 0k.
I have just purchased a shiny new Xperia PLAY a week ago, it came with a 8GB microSD card and within a few days I filled the card up. So, I thought I would get a bigger card and bought a 16GB microSD card as I would like to put more games and alot of my music on it as well
How would I go about transferring or copying all the files that are on the 8GB card to my 16GB card without losing any downloaded data i.e large game files and game saves? CAN THIS BE DONE? As I am new to Android, any step by step advice would be great by the way!
One thing I did try was copying all the data on the 8GB card to a folder on my PC (whilst enabling the 'view all hidden files and folders' option in XP) and copied the folder contents to the new 16GB card (pre formatted to FAT32). I put the new card in the phone but cannot access the games without having to re-download the GBs of data needed and all my games progress has disappeared along with a few games and some needed game data. e.g NFS Hot Pursuit starts but will not play!
It sometimes mounts but then it crashes.but it hasn't mounted for a few days now .Ive tried reseting , turning the phone off and going on the computer to see if the computer recognises the sd card but nothing works .what happened and how can i fix it?
I just bought the PLAY few weeks ago. Now need to upgrade my MicroSD card (Present class 2 8GB). The curiosity I'm having now is the PLAY support the class 4 32GB or not.
Here are options that I have tried:- Ensuring Back cover is on completely- Purchased new Micro SDHC card- Updated Xperia Play to latest software using PC Companion- Removing and re-inserting card whilst on, and whilst off.- Searching for related issues (None found, except back cover issues).
When the phone discovers the card, after attempting a mount it tells me "Blank or unnsupported card".Being un-able to connect my SDHC card prevents me from playing any games installed on the device, using the camera/video, and installing new programs or games.
I took some videos last night when I went to a concert. My internal memory was getting full so it recommended moving them to the SD card which I did. Now I can't view the files and it won't play in any different video applications that I have downloaded. I reformatted the sd card after backing it up and still nothing! Why is this when I can see the files on my phone. They are there but won't play. I haven't done anything wrong! I literally am frustrated and want my videos back.
