Xperia play triggers - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i noticed today that my phone started acting weird the l triger is kinda sticky all of a sudden and i dont know why, r trigger works fine but l is sticky and unuseable.

I could give some answers but they could be classed inappropriate but seriously have you checked the button physically?

Have you tried spraying a little condensed air in there? (blow out any lint or whatever gets trapped in there from your pocket) i know there isnt much room under the lip of the triggers, but you never know. Maybe take it in for service. I know Verizon, I can drop it off and if the tech is working that day, he will take it apart and clean them up and inspect them to see if anything needs replaced. (granted you have to be under warranty, and i also have the Total Equipment Protection Plan)

My right trigger occasionally feels a little sticky too. It feels wierd, kind of annoying.
It also has a weaker 'click' than the left trigger, but i guessed its because most games use it more then the left one.

Mine works fine both side feels even with balanced 'click'
If it's still under warranty, go for a checkup.

I got it at christmas, but from an online site (dialaphone) so sending it back for a check could take 3-4 weeks. I might see about it though

easy ask to test run phone hit all buttons, use the touch screen much as possible for any dead spots(has happen b4) make sure it slides up decently where you slide it up it dont come right back down, and after that take out batter to check phone for water damage, and batter for any water/moisture damage

how do i know if it has a water damage??
look for the white stickers, if they are missing or pink/red means it has been water damaged/ or has been open once to be fixed
just got the phone and its pretty good no issue at all.
I got a similar Deal when I brought My G2
$200 for a G2 in really good condition, with a 4gigs Micro SD, charger and hard plastic Cover. The phone's been with me for over a month now with 0 issues so far.
I think I got a great deal
In my area g2 is like 200-230 new conditions.

Screen gap

I read about screem gap but i was unsure what exactly was meant. I just took a closer look and found out that there is a tiny gap between my screen and phone on top in which dirt fills in and it pisses me off. I havent dropped my screen once and if i push the top left part of my phone i can hear a sort of "click".does that make my phone faulty? Im really annoyed vy the dirt that fills in... Apart from rhat phone has no problems.

send it back. that is what i am doing. left hand side of the phone between the screen and the plastic you can see dust getting inside there to. plus if you press the left hand side tad hard you can hear it creaking as well. i called HTC to see if they could replace it for me straight away without sending it for repairs..waiting for an outcome tomorrow...if they say no i will just send it for repairs and hope they find the problem and either fix it or replace it then...i know it will drag for a week but at least that way you know one way or the other it will get fixed...
i was going to say if it does not bug you then leave it..but you sound just like me that even though the phone works fine it will bug you cause you know it is there
should i go to my provider or directly cpntact htc? And just to understand it better. Gaps are not supposed to be there, am i right?

Dont replace it as you have no other problems. Go to HTC repair center and just fix it. If you replace there may be a chance of getting more faultier one.

It amazes me some of the reasons people will find to return an otherwise perfect handset. Considering the amount of serious problems floating about this phone, I don't think a creak or 1mm gap between the bezel and screen constitutes a return. Get over it and enjoy the phone.

Ive heard that the one x was made in 2 different countrys taiwan and china... china being the worst built ones buttt I must have a really faulty dhd. I've had it for 10 months now and my screen moves, doesn't fit right on the phone as there should be a lip round it but isn't my speaker isn't straight so is sloping. Looks like the cnc machine hasn't cut it right. Power button is really recessed too far in..... I think a little sqweek is nothing to really worry about if the screen falls out then ya I'd send it back.

well that is what worries me about the whole damn thing..if it gets to hot to soon and in two months down the line the screen actually does fall out
TBH ive just checked mine and it does have a slight gap with lint building up already (bare in mind ive had this phone 2 days) Also have the yellow blotch on the screen AND a dead pixel. This is by far the best phone ive ever owned...But my word these little niggles are grating on my moobs! Ive never had to send a phone off to a repair centre before but im not really willing to put up with the problems the phone has (however ridiculously small they seem to some ) You expect some software issues in an early batch, but dead pixels, discoloured screens, gaps occuring out of nowhere between the screen, its a bit much really! Im gunna have to get it sent off soon i think, gutted!

Do you even realize how big 1mm is?!!!! Get a ruler and see please....
I doubt even a blind person could enjoy a phone with a gap big as that. You would not just see this, but also feel.
I have a gap that's about 0,1-2 mm big (measuring with paper, which is about that in average I think 0,1 till 0,3 I think but also not sure) and its around the whole screen on both sides of the ring.
Ugh...1mm...
But seriously guys, how big are the gaps it makes you return it?
I mean should I return it with 0,1 mm ? (maybe less) seen a bigger gap on SGS 2.

Screen Cracked Today :(

So....
I've NEVER dropped any of my phones, ever, as long as I've had cell phones. Well, dropped and it actually hit the ground. I've dropped this damn phone like 4x already, I think partially to do with it being so smooth and "slippery" to the hand.
Anyway, I dropped it once from about 6 feet in the air directly on the screen and NOTHING happened at all (except some very very minor dings to the frame itself) and light scratches to the screen protector. Today, I was trying to pull it out of my pocket at work when it slipped and fell (from about 2 feet from the ground) landing on the right side of the phone. My right hand (phone sits in right pocket) is in a brace due to a stress fracture I received at work, so when it slipped I couldn't catch it. I watched it fall, which was the worst moment ever lol. Since my work pants have slanted pockets, it fell behind me so I couldn't even attempt to put my foot under it to stop the impact.
Anyway, as I picked it up I honestly didn't expect to see anything. I pick it up, turn it over and it looks like there is a piece of hair right along the frame in the shape of a sideways "U". I went to brush it off and realized it had cracked!
It's a very small and almost non noticeable crack JUST before the digitalizer starts but I know it's there so it bothers me. I showed a few guys at work and nobody noticed it until I pointed it out.
Anyway, think its worth looking into getting fixed or just stick it out because it's so minor?

id personally get it fixed or fix it myself since only the screen and not the lcd. imagine if you ever drop it again even inches that "u" could probably be the cause of it expanding and cracking all over. well thats my opinion

Dude, that sucks! Never wanted to see that happen to you man.
I have to agree though, if its doable for you, get it fixed. Once compromised like that its just gonna get worse most likely. Even just setting it down or bumping into something while its in your pocket could make it much worse.

I would say slap it into a bumper that will cover up most of it. But, you already said you know it's there, so that won't work. So, I guess I'd advise having it fixed.

Why mine is in an otter box ^-^
But I personally would just throw a case on it to prevent further cracking. Doesn't look too horrible from your picture. But as others already mentioned, it will crack even more easily since it's already started.
That's a known issue with the s 3. The screen is lifted a hair from the bezel. So the bezel bends into the glass at the edge (weakest point in glass) where other devices usually bend over the glass.
But good luck to whatever you decide!
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2
Yeah it's not bad at all. And remember you can replace just the glass too. But i would wait for it to be more messed up before doing that
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Slap a good case on it and it should be fine for now at least.
Let's just hope that you don't drop it again to further increase the cracking.
An OtterBox Defender Case might be a good idea.
Very bulky, kind of pricey, but it will offer you the protection that you need.
Personally id be worried about further damage as is. Obviously the glass is weakened already, and while it may seem ok to wait until its worse before fixing, i have to disagree as im pretty sure this also makes the digitizer more vulnerable to damage as well.
How often have you seen or heard about devices that had a cracked screen causing the touch capabilities to break as well? One more drop or bump into the corner of a table where that crack is and you may not get anymore response at all.
I just think it potentially could turn into a much more expensive repair if not taken care of soon. Just not sure id personally want to risk it.
Its just my opinion is all.

red you could just take it to tmo? or call Samsung it has to be under warranty but hey they'll do it and no screws up guaranteed. ad it will cost more than a do it your self. i saw somewhere that Verizon did for 100 with insurance, i assume tmo would close to that
Radio Shack has a service to replace your screen for $100. You would be without your phone for a couple of days, however.
I highly recommend the Otterbox Defender, and put all of my phones in one.
In March, while doing some climbing, I fell about 30 ft then tumbled down the side of a mountain. I had a Droid X in my pocket (in it's Defender), and the only damage to the phone was to the camera lens. Everything else about the phone was groovy. I was not in such great shape, as this was in the Arizona desert mountains, so there was no cushy landing whatsoever.
Defender FTW!

Sorry, i guess i just assumed we were talking about going by one of the diy guides i saw here not long ago. Pretty sure they had instructions for replacing only the glass, but anyway, if you have the full protection plan then it doesnt matter how bad its damaged. I believe the price about a month ago was $130.

we were but then i thought what if red messed up something by accident like we all might, wouldn't that void his warranty? if it didnt then im all in for diy, thats the only reason i said the tmo thing for safety measure. also red looked it up on ebay blue one with tools was 28 dollars and from usa.
Ok, i gotcha. I could be wrong but if you have the full protection plan i was under the impression that you could pretty much do anything and get a replacement. So if im right you can attempt the fix diy style and if unsuccessful then get it replaced. I would double check me on that though!

Yeah, I was considering the DIY route (its like $25 on eBay but you have to break your screen off basically which scares the sh*t out of me).
I do have the full insurance. I may have to go to T-Mobile just to see how much it would cost. I don't have the extra money, just got my car out of the shop. If anything, if the insurance covers it and isn't very much, I could just tough it out until it gets worse (if it does) and THEN take it in to the store for work.

Bulk on the back of the tablet

The back of the tablet feels weird. It feels like something is sticking on and when I try I push it back it made a sound. It scared me cause I don't know if I broke anything. There's a few bumps on the back. This is so weird. Could this of been caused my magnets? And also parts of the back of the tablet feel emptier than other parts

Are the bumps you feel by any chance on the left hand side of the tablet near where it says Samsung if so yeah I have it too - I guess since it has components inside its expected LOL tbh I didn't notice this until you mentioned it and anyways stop pressing stuff haha.
The empty feeling is also normal, mine is mainly in the centre, all this is pretty normal. I picked my Note 10.1 up a few days ago and it creaked but I remember reading other people have said the same.
Which left? Like the left with the screen facing you or the back facing you. And also I tried pushing it and it made a loud bang sound. What if I broke some of the components in the tablet?

when the back facing you and why are you still pushing stuff LOL just leave it alone but I did push it just a little to test and it did make a clicking noise but nothing alarming, I'm not going to do anything to it now and just let it be.
If it runs fine and you don't notice any problems with it then its most likely fine.
Mine has those little bumps as well. You can actually see a slight deformation on the back panel when you hold it up in the right light. It's probably due to Samsung using too thin poly carbonate in the shell.

Mine's "lumpy" in places too. I thinks it's common based on what's beneath the back cover not being even. Get a Book Cover and the problem goes away.

First drop of your new device

So today I was outside working on my truck and when I got it finished I had laid my phone on the truck bed and went to return it to my pocket and I completely missed my pocket and dropped it on the pavement. Luckily I had my case on it but later on in the day I noticed that the orientation was upside down (screen rotation) everything looked normal except on the lock screen the camera icon was upside down and when I unlocked the phone, nothing would rotate (yes the screen rotation was enabled). My first thought was... F**K!!! my new phone!!!! Then after a restore, thinking that it would correct itself (it didn't) I was left with the same issue. So I said what the hell I'll drop it (in the case less than 10 inches from the table) on the opposite end it had originally fell (top of the phone hit straight down) and see if it'll work and sure enough it corrected itself! How in the hell? Has anyone EVER heard of this on any other device?

Prolly had something to do with the gyroscope getting stuck or something. My son threw mine today and it hit the wall and landed on the bed. its fine.
I've dropped mine twice worth the s view cover on. The first one was from my lap. Hit the edge of the polished aluminum. Scratched that edge near top. The second hit, didn't actual fall to ground. It almost slipped from my hand and hit my truck hinge. It put a slight chip near the bottom where they put the two little white or black spots on bottom. The device showed zero problems though.

Awesome you got it fixed but that's absolutely a new thing... the orientation is controlled by the accelerator, and there's no moving parts, it's just a chip that measures the micro-flexing of a material due to gravity or acceleration.
I should be either broken or working perfectly... very odd to think what effect a mechanical impact could be having on electric circuits that makes it flip orientation

So today I was outside working on my truck and when I got it finished I had laid my phone on the truck bed and went to return it to my pocket and I completely missed my pocket and dropped it on the pavement.

To safely stow your phone in your pocket, insert the phone with the display facing your leg and with your fingers extended along the back of the phone. Do not release your grip until you have tactile confirmation that your fingers are inside your pocket. If they are, your phone must be inside, too.
This precaution takes no extra time and does not require you to look away from whatever you may be attending to. But it ensures you won't drop your phone by missing your pocket.
I broke mine on first drop. Cracked the screen from two feet up landing flat on screen

Well after an hour on the phone worth att/att premier/and att tech support. I've got a new phone on its way to me. The tech guy told me that he's never heard of the accelerometer doing that either so how'd I get so lucky? Either way I can't complain just hoping that the new one doesn't give me any other problems
