i managed to get the screen back by opening the game pad... but sometimes when i slide it back it doesn't work again..
So I should take it to SE to check it?

[Q] Rooted phone, screen stays blank when unlocked?

It has done it for a while with any ROM, the screen backlight will go on, and the button lights will go on but the screen picture doesn't show half the time when I unlock it. I can still touch the screen though and it works, but obviously I can't see what I'm doing! This is frustrating and could be terrible in an emergency... What should I do?
Also, when my headphones are in, and the phone detects it as a headset, it will spasm out by turning on voice search, and ringing people repeatedly until I unplug them, it also changes song too on any music app. Any way round this one too?
Thanks
Did you underclock?
Clean your audio jack to prevent the issue you said above.

Which rom are you using, custom or stock...We will need more details as it can be a setup issue...
Using LeeDroid, but its done the same with Android Revolution and I think MIUI too. I think it could be something to do with the CRT animation but I'm not 100% sure
Edit: I have turned off the animation and the problem is still there

on demand lockscreen?

searched but couldn't find it so hopefully someone can help.....
i always have my phone right next to me but have my phone set up with a pattern unlock security for those moments that i leave it somewhere in a hurry and not worry about someone being able to get into my stuff but since 95% its right next to me i hate having to do the pattern unlock even though i can do the pattern fast i prefer not have too... so is there an app or shortcut so i can have my phone without a lock but for those quick moments that i need it locked i can activate it with just pressing that app instead of having to go into settings and manually setting it up again then remove it?
Not sure if there is an app specifically for that. Best I can think of is you might be able to set a condition using a app like tasker or impel. Basically, "if I press this button then enable this" I'm not sure how well or if this would even work but its worth a look I suppose.

I have been using no lock from the market.. It works great to flip your lock screen on or off. Works great on GB.. Flaky on ICS

I don't know of any particular app that does that but I just set my security settings to automatically lock with a delay. I generally leave it at about one or two minutes.

I am using NO LOCK right now on ICS and yea it's not perfect but I can keep the PIN CODE lockscreen and then use the app to disable it when I want.

Tried this and so far working great just what i was looking for. Hopefully someone can figure out a way for the phone to do it without having to install a third party app, but for now NO LOCK is working great. Thanks.

Tasker will do anything you can possibly think of. Including this.

No Lock No Work But...
No Lock didn't work but a different app from the store call No Lock Screen works like a charm (for the exact problem you described).
hey @Ma$etas , do you found another app or way to solve your problem ?
Same as you, I need on demand lock screen, I lock when I want. I didn't want to unlock using pattern or pin every time I use my phone.
But, I need to lock it sometimes. If I left my phone on desk, when I'm sleeping and any other condition

Random Back button! - Would appreicate some HELP!!!

Ok, I have posted on this before and no one seems to bother even replying. But I'm trying again because this problem is really @#$!$# me off!
At random my phone will act like the back button is being presses. But it doesn't happen to all programs or all the time. Programs that are included that it usually happends with: XDA forum app, Play Store, K9 Mail, MobileBiz Pro.
It actually acts like the back button is being pressed. So if I try to open XDA, the loading screen comes up, then BACK to the homescreen. If I go into K9 Mail and am fast enough to open an email, after a second or so, it goes back to the K9 main mail screen, I press the email again, it opens, then BACK to the main screen, then if I wait anothe second or so, it goes BACK again to the homescreen.
But it doesn't do this with all programs. The other thing is, I tried posting this on my phone. I was almost done and tried to think if I was missing anything. My screen times out and turned off, I hit the power button to turn the screen on again, then as soon as it turned on, it BACKED out of my message to the Q&A forum, then BACK to the main xperia play forum, then BACK to the homescreen.
PLEASE HELP. I have no idea how to fix this. I thought it could be not enough memory, so I used supercharger to set the memory settings low so it wouldn't close things unless it was almost out of memory, and no effect. I have no idea what to do and I need help!
I'm hoping this time someone can!
PLEASE!

I've tried multiple roms. But I'm not sure if it can be a HW problem since it doesnt do it in all programs, only certain ones.
I mean flashing the stock Rom via flashtool again?
It will give u a clear system

Yes I have.
It's weird, I can use a program called "My OC Transpo" A timetable app for city busses. No problems, but the Gallery app and other programs get the problem.
That is very weird and I bet very annoying it may be a hardware problem then but I'm just guessing :/
I know it seems like it is a HW issue. But why does it do it for some programs and not others?
I used to use K9 Mail, it didnt even do it at first, the problem happend with other programs, then after time it happend to K9. So I switched to MailDroid, and no problems.
Heres the REALLY weird thing. If I WAIT a little bit with the screen on, the problem doesnt happen. Say for 20-30 seconds.
Anyone?
Does the screen have moisture on it when it happens? When the screen is cold and you breathe on it moisture can form. At least it does for me, especially in the morning.
If not, does pressing the back button stop it happening?
Sent from my Ascend G300 using xda app-developers app
Nope no moisture.
It also happens in this situation: i'm using it fine, then the screen turns off from the timeout, it comes back up, and the problem happends. I have to wait about 30 seconds or so for it to start working again.
Well you can view a log cat and see what happened at the exact time of the "random back"

No need to logcat HW problems. If you have a warranty maybe they'll fix it. If not buy a broke play on eBay and use its parts to fix yours.

My guess is that you've got a hardware problem :/
Flash stock ftf, if BL is unlocked then flash the relock ftf, and send it off to Sony aslong as you still have Warranty

No warrenty. It's a few year old.
I dont think it is HW. I mean it works FINE for programs like my bus app, titanium backup, etc. but for other programs, K9 Mail, MobileBiz, Google Play Store, it doesnt.
well the apps may just be incompatible and unstable on your rom

[Q] Screen turns off when moving joypad! Help!

Hello. Got a problem with my Xperia Play R800i. When I move my joypad the screen turns off, but the phone is still working: i hear menu sounds, music is playing everything is working but the screen is dark...when I send my phone to sleep and than turn it on the screen turns on, in that case the phone works well in opened and in closed forms.

Are you using a custom rom or kernel? Or are you on stock? The best way to solve these issues is to flash an ftf. If if doesnt get fixed then its probably a hardware issue. But id wait to see if others have ever had a similar problem.

Weird behavior of touch when in settings

My phone is killing me... All of a sudden when I'm in the settings there is something like ghost touch that drags the screen down. It happens only in the settings! I can't even access to the developer options to activate touch feedback! In a couple days I'm gonna try to reset the phone but for me it's problem is absurd. I don't think that this happened to anyone other than me but do you have any suggestions?

Try using screen test app from Playstore to know that your touches are getting registered as you want to.

Can you suggest me a good app? BTW I tried to lock the screen in portrait (reverse) using an app called set orientation in order to check what would happen. The screen continues to go down while it was supposed to go up instead if there were ghost touch in the bottom of the screen

If even after resetting the phone, the problem persists. Service center is the destination.

The problem keeps happening, unfortunately I won't be home until Friday evening and until then I can't reset the phone because I don't have a wifi connection.
I hope that a factory reset will solve the issue but I was wondering if since this is most likely a software issue, I could flash the original firmware in case the soft reset isn't enough. I had several Sony phones before this one and I could do it without voiding the warranty and with a locked bootloader. Is it the same case for this one?

Yes. Warranty will only be void with unlocking the bootloader and misuse of the unit.
Maybe you can try to use a hair dryer to dry the phone!
Also a reboot comes in handy all the time!
Do check your charger too!
It used to happen with me on my old phone due to my sweaty hands! Fortunately this doesn't happen with me on my Honor!
Edit:Also check if you have Glove mode On in settings - smart assistance
bro just hand over to service center they will take care of your phone ,please don't do any hard things to phone
I did a factory reset and all seems to be working fine now. I hope it will last
