[Q] plz help - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My bottons dont working(back ,home, properties, search).
what i can do ?

It's usually caused by an old version of Doomlords kernel on a recent ROM happened to me once, just update to the latest version and update the wi-fi modules..
If you haven't even unlocked your bootloader and your phones buttons aren't working there is something going on, try updating to the latest rom wiping all user data or reflash the latest rom wiping user data.

Wi-Fi and GPS Keep Engaging

I've searched the forum and can't see a solution to this problem.
My wi-fi keeps turning on even though I have switched it off and even if I put the phone in airplane mode, it switches back in.
Also, the GPS constantly tries to engage. The warning pops up which says, "By selecting "Standalone GPS Services", you are enabling access to all location information..." and it has 'disagree' and 'agree' at the end. If I click 'disagree' it goes away then reappears a short time later. If I click 'agree', the GPS goes on.
I have run an virus check which was negative.
I have ICS build 4.1.B.0.587 and it has recently been rooted.
I tried locking wi-fi with some software, but that didn't work.
Any ideas anybody?
if your phone is non-modded (custom kernel, rom etc.) re-install the firmware you're currently using by re-flashing it via flash tool 6 or higher..
if it is modded (root, rom, kernel etc.) re-flash the kernel or change it/re-flash the rom or change it

Thanks MrModMan, I did as you recommended. My phone was rooted, so I downgraded the kernel again (using the LT18i downgrade as I was told that this would be OK on my LT15i by another member), re-rooted using the DooMLorD tool, then flashed the kernel again (using the LT15i ftf for .587 build).
The problem still exists.
I suspected that it may relate to an app which uses GPS/Wi-fi connectivity, maybe Google Maps. I backed up Google maps, then uninstalled using Titanium Backup, but the problem's still there.
Here's an update. I reinstalled the latest version of ICS and have not rooted my phone, The phone is not now reconnecting to wi-fi and the GPS nag screen has stopped appearing, so evidently there is something wrong with the rooting procedure that I used for the .587 build of ICS. I can say that I did follow the procedure outlined on this forum to the letter. Maybe somebody with more technical know-how can determine what the problem is.

wifi do not turn on

Strange things happen to my i9195... suddenly out of the blue,wifi won't turn on neither from quick settings panel nor the settings itself...
Everything else works as it should(data,bluetooth,airplane,gps,sound etc) but the wifi setting tries to turn on but immediately turns of. anyone had this problem?
and more important... a solution??????????
Which rom are you on? You could try reflashing a rom to clear any possible software issues
yes try reflash rom

thanks guys for your replies...
i was on stock rooted xxuamf4, i flashed both xxuamh3 and xxuamg8 (these two i had already downloaded) but problem remained. just to eliminate software issue , as a last resort i flashed CM 10.1.3 and magically my device was fully functional again( by the way ..:good: to CM...).
So WTF? i 'll try later to flash a stock non rooted fw and see what will happen...
p.s : anyone know how to change baseband? in my sgs3 mini i used to flash different modem for that. what works for this device?
p.s 2 : thanks again for your time guys!:good:
flashing back stock firmware , problem reappeared! it seems something has to do with knox , because every time i try to open wifi a toasted notification appears "prevention information... the device as detected...bla...bla...bla"
the thing is that if i root my phone and completely delete knox,knox agent,store and container agent, the notification stops but the wifi setting still cannot be enable.
any ideas????

Back to report that re-rooting with arco's method but with rootkit v2 (that includes kernel) seems to solve the issue! the steps i follow was :
1) gain root
2) install cwm recovery
3) with es explorer delete knox store,knox agent, container agent (both apk and odex files)
4) reboot to cwm recovery
5) clear cache and davlik cache
6) reboot and RESURRECTION!!!:good:

i think it's a kernel related issue. But first in order to eliminated hardware problem possibility, try to flash a cm rom. If your wifi and bluetooth works then you can be sure it's not a hardware failure. in my case flashing a different kernel solved the issue.
p.s : if you find a way to change baseband version ,please share the way!!!

you need flash same version Kernal file, example: when you finished flash MH2 stock firmware, if wifi shotdown, just flash MH2's Kernal file, file size around 7MB

the solution for me was more or less "flashing rooted arco's kernel" . but my model is 9195. i honestly don't know if there is one for 9192 ,but if i were you i would search for one!

I have problem whith my s4 mini.. I9192 dual sim
Baseband : Nd1
When i want to connectt to wifi i enter password.. As soon as i hit the connectt button wifi signal will desappear... I updated the frameware but no sucsess...
How to solve?
Is it hardware issue?
Same problem for me (1st post): new i9195 with latest XXUCNK1, never flashed before,
install twrp and make a backup, install CM-12.1 and CM-13 without any issue,
After restore to KK using my twrp backup I can't turn on wifi,
solution was to flash Modem_I9195XXUCNK1.tar from modem thread.
I notice that twrp doesn't restore previous modem I update to XXUCOL1

[Q] CM11 snapshot/nightly stuck at boot... now can not even rollback to 10.2

Hi,
I had CM 10.2 running fine on my HOX. A couple of weeks ago I decided to test out CM11, since this is not my primary device, stability wasn't that big of a concern for me. The first few tries CM11 installation was a failure with some error (I can't recall) occurring when installing the zip in Recovery (if i remember correctly it had something to do with version of recovery I was using).
Anyways, I searched online, found a solution and was able to install the CM11. I have flashed the boot, erased the cache, tried wiping/factory resetting the device, in all kinds of orders (wiping/installing/flashing boot.img, flasing boot.img/installing CM11, etc). but no matter what I try my phone always stays stuck at the boot animation.
I found multiple threads on the forums with similar problems, but in most cases the OP was either missing flashing boot.img or erasing the cache helped. not so in my case.
Also, weirdly enough, now even if i try to reinstall CM 10.2 (which was working earlier), I get the same issue.
any further guidance on troubleshooting / overcoming this issue is highly appreciate

Your HBOOT is to low you must to upgrade ti 1.39 or 1.72 but 1.31 is tooo low and for this the CM11 don't boot
Actually I think 1.31 is the latest version which came out with jelly bean rom for the htc__15 id.
what's frustrating is that I can't even get the 10.2 version of CM working again either...which should be fine with this hboot version

try restore stock and chek for update restore nandroid and see I am not sure J15 is only 1.31
Will give it a shot tonight and report back. ...what's grinding my gears is none of the other roms including jb ones I tried are working either
i finally managed to resolve my issue. I tried changing recoveries, tried multiple ROMs and also tried to run RUU (which failed since i have a later version of the ROM vs. what's available in RUU).
finally decided to try formatting the boot, System and Cache partitions and installing CM11 again.
I had never used the 'format <partition>' feature before. Apparently this did the trick and now i am running CM11 .!!

is HBOOT still the same version or did you upgrade it?
I am curious about the order in which you did things. After formatting boot, system and cache partitions, did you flash the boot image again or did you do that prior to the formatting.
Thanks

No command/ dead android in recovery

Hi i just found out now that after upgrading from 4.1.2 JB to 4.3 JB that there are some error happening with my phone. At first i was always curious on why my wifi signal is always low although the router is just outside of my room. I tried to google some possible solution and came up with someone saying that factory reset and wiping data cache had fix their low wifi connection problems, so i tried doing it too but after booting up with recovery i noticed that the usually standing android logo had laid down with an Triangle with a "!" on him ( i know that this must be some kind of error from that point) here's a screenshot

I still tried to continue wiping and it somehow works but it says "error" after doing so, then i tried to select reboot and it also works but still says "error"
https://www.dropbox.com/s/9o0yuopkf3dov76/Photo 27-04-2014 23 40 17.png (just like this image -credits to the original uploader)
Now i dont know on which problem should i fix first
1ST QUESTION: Can i just flash the stock rom again (4.3 stock rom) or other updated stock roms like 4.4 stock rom?
2ND QUESTION: Is there another know problem with wifi dropping/disconnection/low signal for 4.4 kitkat stock rom?
Here's some additional info
Model: galaxy s3 - i747m ( bell )
original rom: 4.1.2 jellybean
upgraded to: 4.3 jellybean
root: rooted using chainfire autoroot after updating to 4.3 JB

A) what bootloader/modem version do you have ?
B) i dont think there is a 4.4 stock ROM.
C) did you make a nandroid backup (as you should always do for a safety net)(not that i ALWAYS do , but should.lol).
1) you should be fine flashing 4.3.
2) wifi issues MAY be related to running 4.4 on older firmware.
"all i can really do , is stay out of my own way and let the will of heaven be done"
You should be find flashing the stock 4.3 sgh-i747m. Just download the carrier ROM from sammobile.com.
If you want to stay on stock 4.3 and you want root, I suggest flashing the latest Philz Touch d2lte recovery via Odin and then flashing supersu from recovery.
If you want to be running the latest KK for the i747m, you can flash back to stock 4.3 and run OTA updates until you are running the latest ROM.
ROMs designed for the d2lte should run on the i747 and i747m. Bootloaders and modems cannot be cross-flashed.

B) after reading a lot of forums i got an information that samsung released and 4.4 stock rom for canadian version of s3. there's a downloadable rom here http://www.mrcrab.net/stockrom/sgh-i747m.html and from samsung kies
C) I never make backups too
C1) nevermind the wifi problem it seems that my router is the one who have a problem
ok. thanks for info. never knew there was a stock 4.4 for anyone. glad wifi got figured out.:good:
and , @audit13 is a lot more knowledgeable than i ; so i would advise listening to him 1st on any matters.

[Q] Update I9300 with 5.1.1 rom lost root

Hi,
I was on the paranoid 4.4.4 rom on my I9300, everything worked fine.
I did the last update with paranoid 5.1.1 but it didn't worked well, i have multiple error and Google service won't work anymore.
The thing is, i can't do anything at all, like restore my last backup because i lost the root access with the update.
I can't load in recovery mode, i tried the HOME+VOLUME DOWN (or up) + POWER, it won't work.
I can't fine the debug mode on this version, so i really don't know how i can at least restore my last backup to go back to the 4.4.4 version.
Any help is appreciated, thaks for your time.
Root doesn't ship with any 5.x build of paranoid android. To reset you need to boot into recovery and restore your backup or flash a different ROM.
You don't need root access for that.
It sounds like you installed an incompatible gapps....
Thanks for your reply,
I managed to boot in recovery, using a method i found on the web, i pull the battery then hold the combination keys when i put it back, and it load in recovery just fine.
I think i couldn't install the proper gapps because i was in clockwork recovery, i installed the latest TWRP, but i still can't manage to install the latest paranoid rom prpoperly.
here's what i did so far:
- wipe all/ factory reset , install Paranoid5.1.1 + Gapps 5.1 mini => paranoid load but Black screen once it's loaded with the message "Android.phone interrupted" (gross traduction) popping every 2 sec, it disapear if i put the phone on airplane mode => make me think the Google service can't connect.
- Restore my last 4.4.4 backup then => wipe cache/dalvik=>install Paranoid 5.1.1 + gapps => same as the previous problem, but this time i have my old app and i can call and receive sms.
My guess so far is a problem with the Google service who can't synchronize, the Gapps i try to use are the pa_gapps-modular-pico-5.1-20150315-signed.zip
Any guess ?
Yeah. The problem is you are using old gapps. Use banks gapps
I had trouble with a clean install of PA 5.1 + Gapps on my S3 (i9300) and similar issues to yours, not sure why but I found that if I used th full fat "Stock" 5.1 Gapps the phone was fine and has been for a day or 2 now, the pico/mini/full seemed to be problematic (at least for me). Also moved to Philz Recovery using the "Rashr" app as my old CWM kept throwing an error of status 6 on any Gapps I downloaded... Must admit though that once stable PA Lollipop runs well on the S3 and battery seems better over the past couple of days too...
