[Q] Phone stuck in landscape mode after official update - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I let the official update go through on my Play (not unlocked, running official FW) aaand now my phone is stuck in landscape mode.
I tried to find a settings option that would let me play around with the orientation of the screen, to no avail. Anyone know what I should do?

Yakjuxw JB OTA not installing

Jelly Bean for yakjuxw is rolling out now, but mine will not install.
I have used the Google framework services "trick" to get and download the update 3 times now.
It downloads 160,3 mb, confirms and restarts for install. Then the Google logo shows for about 10 seconds and then just a restart again without installation. No error messages or anything.
4.0.4, yakuxw.
Any ideas?
Have you rooted the device, flashed a custom recovery, flashed a radio or changed any system files (fonts, mods, themes)?
All of these things (and many more) will cause the update to fail.
No, it is totally stock and not rooted.
Seems weird to me - can it somehow download a wrong update file?
It does not even show the red Android on the first reboot.
Also it seems, that the phone is unable to go into Recovery. Pressing both volume buttons and power and then selecting Recovery modes gets me to the same thing: The white google logo on black screen, and then a auto reboot to normal phone operation.
Can Recovery get broken in any way and thus also prevent the update?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I am expieriencing the exact same problem. Recovery seems to be corrupted and cannot enter it. This cause installation of update impossible. We need help here.
Is flashing to yakju will fix recovery mode?
Try manually flashing the stock recovery. You'll need an unlocked bootloader for that though.
I have fixed my problem by flashing yakju. I have used this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1787503&highlight=yakju
Now i will get OTA updates from Google instead from Samsung because i had yakjuux firmware since my phone was orginally from Bell. Yay!
I sent mine in for repair.
Received it back with re-flashed software, and it's ok again.

[Q] Boot animation Application help

Hi everyone, i have just installed the 'Boot animation' application from the android store, this is a rooted app, and yes my device is rooted. I installed one of the new boot animations, i did not think there would be any problems...since the application is MEANT for creating a new boot animation for your device. I restarted my phone, the animation has NOT changed, and yet my device has frozen on the 'Samsung' logo. I have tried re-flashing my jailbreak through odin, but same outcome. Also for some reason i cant get to recovery mode, only download mode. Anyone have any ideas? i cant resort to going back to my stock rom, because i cant lose my data/calander. Thanks again! - Kes

Stuck on CM restart screen

Hi all,
I just rooted my G Pad on 4.2.2 and installed CWM 6.0.5.1, and then flashed the latest CM12 from their website. Now I'm stuck on the blue android loading screen. I've tried to get back into recovery, but I can't seem to boot into it with the key presses. It will show me the factory reset screen and then just tries to restart again. Any ideas on how to proceed from here?
EDIT: Was able to get into download mode and reflash stock 4.2. nothing to see here
