I have the AT&T branded Xperia Play (r800at) and the Messaging Application that I assume is of Sony's own design, (This is my first Android phone.) has been force closing or stuttering everytime I open up the application.
I've had this phone since Day 1 of its release on the AT&T network and as far as I can remember this problem has plagued me. If anyone has any idea how to fix this I would be extremely grateful.
(My phone has the ZergRush root on it, but the problem has been on my phone prior to the rooting.)
Install a new messaging app and uninstall the default one.

Hi All,
Not a newb, but certainly a newb to the Play. My question is about the Mobile Care app installed by Verizon. I've rooted and removed it because every time the Play is powered off, and powered back on, it runs a Software Update that never seems to really happen (before and after rooting). I removed the app because it basically provides full permissions to everything (apps, data, your first born child).
So my questions are:
Is this app behaving normally, that is, it always tries to update software if powered on?
What will I lose by removing the app?
Mobile Care
Mobile Care is the updater (as in OTA)
if you are using the stock ROM then you have it
I believe if your rooted you can't upgrade anyway without bricking your phone
I can't get it to work for me either (no root [yet]) and have contacted Sony Ericsson
ok my proplem is i can't download from market on my data plan.
here is what I did :
tried with wifi : work correctly
re-connected to gmail + talk : still not working
did hard reset : still not working
flashed back 2.3.2 : still not working
sometimes it works with data plan, but for 1 app and I still can't update my apps with data plan.
what you guys think ? could it be with my network provider ?
It's a phone I bought from rogers, unlocked it and using it on telus network (in canada). When I first went with telus, everything was working perfect.
Last monday, I used root explorer to remove bloatware. I removed everything safe in the list from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1089470. But I removed an app called Telus Menu. I put it back when flashed again to get root, and still not working. Maybe I disconnected something at telus network ?
can you help me out ?
Think it may be a market or app problem rather than the phone I have been having problems for the last few days and nothing in my set up has changed recently

Yeah market problems too. So it's there issue, not our phones.

you are having same problems as me ?
I'm glad to ear that, no offense. I'm not alone having problems.
Curious how it is affecting some but not others. Wonder if its account specific or phone specific. I assume if someone did a flash it must be account specific... Odd thing to screw up either way.
Can you go to the android.com market on your PC and have it show up on your phone that way?
for me older market seems work fine. this new 3.1.5 seems to be buggy for me.
For me some apps can't be downloaded/updated. For example I had 5 updates yesterday and 4 updated with out issue but one couldn't update.
I've had some issues with the latest Market as well. What I've had to do several times is:
- make sure "update automatically" is NOT set for any apps
- go to My Apps and for any that show updates available select and try to update manually. If that fails, press the back button and now check the "update automatically" box.
- Exit from Market (kill the Market app if you have task killer or something similar so it is really and truly gone otherwise you will have to restart the phone)
- Now go back into Market and try to update the same app again
Hi all,
I've been using my arc S for over a year and I like it a lot. However, recently I've been experiencing frequent crashes, and sudden hanging of the system whereby I need to force restart the phone.
I'm not good with Android development, but managed to root my phone using doomlord method, and am using Nova launcher with it. It's currently on ics 4.0.3
Is there any way to find out what's wrong? For example, I'm surfing using boat browser, and without any warning,the browser app just closes. Another time I was reading on pulse news app,and it auto closes by itself. I used ezpdf and often it hangs while reading pdf files. It wasn't like this when I first updated it.
Can anyone tell me is it the problem with the system or hardware?
I'm reluctant to change to a new phone.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Do a factory reset, or repair via seus or pcc

Yep a repair with a pc companion should do the trick.
Thanks, I've done an update via PCC, and factory reset to clean up everything. Re-rooted and everything. I will continue to monitor for the next one month.
After installing the new Google Music update from the play store, the app won't open on my xperia play at all (white screen to force close). Checked store comments and there's at least one other xp user with the same problem. Anyone here experiencing this? If so, is there a fix? I've got an R800x with stock rooted 2.3.3

I'm having the same problem. R800at. It worked for a little bit after update but it seemed to crash once i tapped my account and it (presumably) started to download my data from the server. After that, it just forces close every time I started it.
I downgraded back to the last good version:

Yeah, mine crashes the same way. Anyone know if other devices are reporting this or just xplay? It really sucks because I depend on Google Music so much
Hello Guys,
I have been having this problem from quite some time now (And frankly I don't remember since when).. Whenever my apps are getting updates from the Google Play Store, my mobile becomes painfully slow and lags majorly. It like as if you are using Jellybean on a device meant for Android Eclairs! My system is neither rooted not modified. I had the same problem even on 4.1.2 so it is not the firmware issue. My Note II has Kaspersky antivirus installed which checks every new and updated app. I thought it may be because of this so I uninstalled the app but still no effect Toggling Power Saving Mode On/Off does not make any difference either
I have no idea what is causing it and it is really troublesome.. I have A LOTT of apps and sometimes it updates almost 10 12 apps in a go which is really irritating with the lag!!
Have have chosen any option that is causing this?? Or any app??
Please help me with this
Cheers!
I have the same issue and I thought it started with update to Android 4.3, but it is probably due to update of Play Store application, now that you say you also had this problem on 4.1.2... Everything is smooth (ROM) except when I'm updating apps, it freezes so much I'm unable to do anything and I remember I used to run "update all" and then go back to Launcher and did other things while update run in the back... now it is slowing down the system... I wondered if it is a problem with XPrivacy module, but probably not...
Has anybody got any help on this?
