So I am on my third r800x in about 6 weeks. The first one refused to download the update no matter what was tried so it was replaced under warrenty. And the second was replaced because it was rebooting about 3 times a day. I finally got one that works for everything but connecting it to PC Companion. No matter what mix of modes I use it refuses to connect to PC companion. I cant figure out what is going on. (PC Companion ver:2.10.053 Prod:22.1) I downloaded PC Companion from the SEMC site because it was not on the SD card in the phone like the instructions said on the Website.
I actually have a huge problem updating. 2 days ago I updated my wife's Xperia r800x. Now I try to update my Xperia r800x and at first it just says update failed and I try to use pc companion and update service and they both say there is no available update for your phone (Over the air update also fails). Now when I try to connect to an over the air update it says that there was an error try back again later and about 8 hours later i try again and still no luck! Pc companion and Sony update service are still saying the same thing (no available update for your phone). I have already tried the repair phone option also and this is really frustrating! I am guessing this might be a verizon problem for the over the air option but as far as sony's side i feel like i shouldn't be having this problem. Did they pull the update?
i decided to root my XPeria play and i didn't know what would be the outcome of it. Since im use to iOS i though it would install something similiar to Cydia. Well, it didn't and i checked if it had any updates and there was. So it did all of its download process and installing but it told me in the end ''Error: Update Failed''. and so i tried PC Companion and that didn't work either. So im in need of removing the ROOT out of my phone and installing a new software update on it. Currently, im on version 2.3.3.
Today I noticed a tiny x over my signal bars. I went to settings phone about and the settings give me a popup stating it crashed and I had one option [force close]. After a reboot a tiny display at the top right appeared " (No Service) "
I rebooted the phone several times, checked every setting the phone would allow (couldn't go to airplane mode -just info here) and still had the same problems.
Decided to go ahead and reset the phone (w/o wiping the SDcard). The inital screen came up to choose your language - no problem I clicked English The next screen was the cute green android wanting me to touch his tummy.... sigh No matter how many times I touch his tummy he just stays there. I have reset this phone previously with no issues at all.
Things I have tried:
Multiple reboots (20+) Removed the battery for 30 minutes and tried again Removed the SDcard and tried again Held down various combinations of buttons while rebooting Always it comes up with the droid wanting his tummy touched..
I downloaded PC Companion onto my computer so I could update my Xperia Play from 2.3.2 to 2.3.4. But the problem is when I connect my phone to my computer PC Companion says searching and then says no phone connected. When I try going to support center and go to how to connect to USB (which is an option that's suppose to get PC companion to notice my phone.). When the process is finished it still won't recognize the phone. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling PC companion but the same thing still happens. I also tried disconnecting and connecting my phone but the the same thing still happens.
I have the CDMA version of the xperia play but bootloader unlocking is IMEI based. I have fastboot ready to go I just need the correct key. I can provide MEID number or anything else needed.
I have just recieved my Xperia Play from the repair centre and they exchanged it but the the power key is not working. It's stuck and I can't press it it's gone a bit inside
I've just bought an Xperia Play and I'm having trouble using it. I've been charging it for about 5 hours and the only thing that's happening is a flashing red light on the power button. I've tried all the suggestions I've found (such as taking the battery in and out, swapping the SD card etc.) and none of them seem to work. Is there anything else I can try?
My partner's Xperia Play decided not to boot this morning. (It was fine at 7.30 but by 8.30 it was dead). On pressing the power button, it vibrates for a few seconds but does not show any other sign of booting. He has tried removing the battery to boot it but to no avail. When he plugged it into his laptop, the machine failed to recognise the device. It just continuously made the device connect then device disconnect sounds. The laptop is only a couple of weeks old so I highly doubt that it's an issue with the USB ports. It does not detect the phone long enough to perform an update. Is it possible that the USB cable is faulty, or the USB port on the phone? Or could it be a compatibility issue with the laptop?
I have a 9 month old Xperia Play through Verizon, about a week ago, I started having this intermitten porblem where the display wouldn't wake up by using the power button or the home button. Sometimes it works on a single press, other times it takes multiple presses. occassionally it refuses to wakeup at all, forcing me to pull the battery. I have already tried a settings reset and begrudgingly follwed up with a factory reset, which of course whipped 9 months of data away. Neither reset process had any affect. I have really grown attached to this phone and would hate to lose it
My message notification tone used to play all the way thru when I received a message now it only plays two seconds then cuts off I have tried changing the tone but they are all the same.
had my play for a few months now and love it. However, when i play Battlefield two and attempt to use both touch pads to move about, the game freezes and locks up until i cease touching the two game pads. FYI, im using the stock launcher and i recently reboot the phone so the stock games were deleted. its a canadian phone on the Rogers network. Should i just bring the phone in?
I phone recently developed a problem with touch screen becomming completely unresponsive. I googled and found its a common fault with Sony Handsets. Now let me explain the list of tasks i did in order to get it back to work but invane 1- Tested a new touchpad 2- Software update 3- Software downgrade 4- Deassembling and reassembling
i think i didn't miss anything but still its not responsive. It does sometimes response but if i do restart battery pull, open back case its unresponsive again. According to my knowledge its not a hardware issue as if its hardware and need new one i already tried that its software issue and it seems that entire screen is selected when i try to neviggate through the gaming keys. I am still unable to belive that sony ericsson has still not provided any fix for the issue. If anyone has any idea or any third party software for screen please advise.
- add a document/pdf file and/or a file stored in my download/other folder, while drafting/forwarding a mail
- download game/ improve location on GPS as it asks compulsorily for a Wi-Fi connection; but I have only 3G data services from my mobile service provider?
I am looking to buy an external speaker to connect to my xperia play, preferably a sony branded one, but definately one that is portable enough to fit in my pocket.I thought I had found the one that fit the bill perfectly when I checked the sony site and found the MS 430 which is supposed to be fully compatible with the Xperia Play (it even doubles up as a phone stand, which is pretty neat).Now the problem is my jack is on the horizontal side of my phone (opposite side to the left flipper) and not on the top end as shown in the picture to connect a phone to this speaker.So therefore the speaker is not compatible with this phone, unless of course I have a unique phone with the jack in the wrong place or the phone is connected in the upright position, which wouldnt be very good when watching video playback.
I just got my Verizon Xperia Play and I love the device but I cannot find the Playstation Pocket app on it or in the market. Where am I supposed to get new playstation games for my phone?
My verizon xperia play isn't updating. it would either just keep saying "please wait while checking for updates" or quickly say that and tell me my system is up to date
how I can block my xperia wifi play buy my son a xperia play, but I require internte control access to, as I can block for q not connect to any wireless network.
I paired my Xperia Play R800a with my laptop (HP DV7 series running W7HP 64 bits) but it does not connect at all. When I try, I keep getting this message: Bluetooth Peripheral Device Driver not found. It can't be found through Windows Update and I can't find it anywhere on the web to download.
Just got my xperia play (very nice by the way), and it alleges to have support for WMA files for music, however, when I try and copy these over I get the message saying the file needs to be converted otherwise it won't play ... is that correct? My last SE phone worked fine for WMA ....
My phone recieved notification of a new software update yesterday, it also said i could update it over the air, then contradictid itself by saying i had to use the PC Companion software. Which i did use, i connected my phone, tried to update the software, but when i get to the change from MSC to MTP part, it trys to connect to my phone then says it cannot connect... ?I tried the Wi-Fi updated through the PC companion and the USB updater & they were both saying the same things...It just won't let me update and its really frustrating seeing as im following the instructions given to me...
i have download all asphalt 6 data that needed by my xplay, but when i try to play it,there's a warning in the beginning said 'can't play the movie', and it closed by its own.
i recently upgrade my x-play to the 2.3.4 version.and one thing im upset about is that i cant play the games i got free, like the sims 3, madden nfl, and star battalion.the star battalion ask me to download the game data again and the sims 3 and madden would start but then close itself in a few second.
I apologize if this has been mentioned in earlier posts but find i'm getting myself more and more confused. I want to root my xperia play as i'm sick and tired of low internal memory and running slow. I'm in the UK and currently run 2.3.4 with a build number of 4.0.2.A.0.42. I don't care about the warranty issue as i'm in the last 9 months of contract.
I bought my son an Xperia play for Xmas. It seemed to be fine for a day, but now it turns on and off every few minutes. Everything works fine apart from this annoying problem. I have updated the software several times.
