[Q] Screen Keeps Turning Off. - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey Guys,
Every time i slide out the game pad on my Xperia Play r800i the screen turns off and I have to wait about 10 seconds until it comes on again.Sometimes I can see that the screen is still on but it is really dim and very hard to see and sometimes the brightness keeps changing.
I used PC Companion and Repaired the phone but it did nothing.
Please Help!!

Nothing happened to your phone, its normal. It just takes time to load the xperia play app.

No , When I slide it out the screen locks and I have it set NOT to launch the xperia play app.

So you probably have damaged flex cable. Be ready for giving your phone to the service centre soon.

Slow bootup?

Is it just me that gets this? I hold the power on button, thereafter it vibrates and it takes about 5 seconds I think until it displays anything on screen. Is this normal?

Also, sometimes the screen goes dimmer and brighter by itself, why?

It does the same thing for me... Never really though anything of it. The screen diming might be due to auto screen brightness option, which is fixed in 2.3.4. There is also a disbale auto brightness app for sale in the market if you dont wanna do the firmware update. It drove me nuts waiting for 2.3.4...

This is a stock setting from Sony Ericsson to save power. This may be removed, after root, with a 3rd party app.

Anyone else get a very slightly leggy screen?
Thanks

My screen lags when R button and Volume up are held then i press the screen (buzzes once), for 5-10 seconds, my phone freezes then it buzzes twice and is back to normal
My phone also outputs a bugreport txt each and every time this occurs, here's the most recent one (stupid mediafire wont let me upload it unzipped)
Never mind, figured out that it's simply a shortcut to create the file

Mine does this too, i was never too concerned with it, i just assumed, with the larger capacity, it just too longer to load up. It only takes a few seconds, not bad in my opinion.

This was already answered, but just to reemphasize, it can be disabled in your settings menu, however doing so, will leave the screen constantly at whatever level you choose, so expect some additional battery drain.
anyone else's phone slow in doing any thing internet based? My internet is quite slow when not connected to wifi as is market, it is even slower than my old San Francisco. Anyone know why this could be? I have full bars of connection and would like an explanation, thanks!

i think youve water damaged your phone ... thats what happend to my freinds except its not that crazy .. sometimes it shows charging when its not and sometimes itll shut off for a day and nto turn on .. you might wanna consider replacing your battery (i think that might help)
As stated above, it sounds like water damage.
You may want to fastboot back to complete stock to check whether the problem persists. If it does, it's a hardware problem.

Turn off your phone and hold Vol +/- and power, this will boot you into the bootloader, at the bottom it will say bootloader status (locked/unlocked). Or when you turn on your phone and it shows the Google logo, there will be a lock at the bottom, if that lock is opened your bootloader is unlocked.
Ok thanks and another thing isn't it a way to receive the update officially?

Yes you can remove it. It won't damage it

I'd recommend to put another screen protector if you remove because lots of people who got rid of it had touch screen problems layer

Well I guess if you take really good care of it there won't be a problem but if you take it off I'd still recommend placing another on in its spot

so it is not board problem, so i can try another cable...
IMHO, it's faulty slider flex cable
Ttry to power up phone with gamepad opened. If you get different screens with gamepad opened and closed (static screen, colored "snow", black screen etc) then it's surely slider flex cable
Tried with slider open but no change, only Sony Ericsson logo display for long time, lock and unlock it show static screen

To flash a rom, it's not even entering in recovery, only Sony Ericsson logo appears and after that it gives static screen, even for custom kernel the logo appears that's all
