Backstab question - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How do I rid myself of the guards in backstab. I mean, they start trying to attack me and go after me if I merely run past them sometimes. And is there an easy way to get rid of them? I know I can go to a safe house or stay on the rooftops but it's time consuming and after a short while they'll be back for me, any tips?
Thanks

Getting inside a safe house it quite fast actually, don't see why you have a problem with that :/

True but I prefer to just run away sometimes which is a slow process

Weird Vibrations

I have a weird problem with my phone. Every so often, my phone wjll vibrate twice, in two really short bursts that arent powerful at all. It is completely random. And whenever im playing music, it will stop the music for 5 seconds. If anyone knows what this is it would be greatly appreciated because this is happening on my new phone, as well as my last two galaxy s 2's (ive gotten 3 replacements)

I think this happens to me too, may just be my head, but I really do believe.
Do you get a notification?

What apps do you have that give off frequent notification? Do you have facebook, friendcaster, word w/f, etc.? Can you give us a small run down?
you can also download betterbatterystats (free here on XDA) and look at what frequently runs perhaps it appears as a wakelock.
or you can always look at logcat

It's a kernel crash. It's a part of android. It usually happens to let you know that it crashed but android reloads where it last left off. Hence the reason for the gap in music. If you press home immediately after you will catch it trying to finish reloading.

Is there anyway to fix it? Cause i happens like once every 10minutes

Try running master's kernel cleanser and reinstalling the kernel, that's a place to start

You will have to root first... Unless someone with more experience chimes in with a different idea

Is the same app running every time it happens? It may be a 3rd party app that isn't completely compatible running on your phone. Try deleting any third party widgeta.. then going into your task manager and clearing your memory. Then add one widget at at time til it starts doing it. If it doesn't do it, then open one of your e eryday apps at a time till you have the vibrating again. You may find some crappy lil app that you installed is causing all the problems.

Ring tone lag

When my text messages reach cap my ring tone starts to lag and not play fully. Also my screen flickers sometimes. I'm sorry if this has been posted already but I can not find it. I assume most people on here don't reach text cap. We are most likely nerds right?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Nerds indeed ha. But I have not had an issue with any sort of ring lag. I just use the beep for messages though.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
I have seen this asked once maybe around 2 weeks ago if I'm remembering right. But I don't remember if they found a solution or not. If I can find it ill let you know.
When you say they reach cap what do you mean exactly? Do you mean the point where it starts auto deleting when you reach the set number of stored messages?
If you delete some/many/all of your texts does it work right again? If you do have auto delete set , does it still happen if you turn that off?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Yeah when they start auto deleting, I have it set at 200. And yes it does stop when I delete the thread but I don't want to have to do that. It does stop if I turn off auto delete but when I did that my text app was super slow opening because it got to full.

Ok. Well at least now we can be fairly sure we know what causes it. I know its not what you are going to want to do but you could either turn off the auto delete option, manually assign a much shorter tone to any contacts that get this high, or try this.... set the limit to something like 500, then when you reach that point set it back down to 200 and see if it deletes everything back down to that point. Then set back to 500 until it happens again. Or try turning it off and when you feel its time to clean house turn it back on, let it delete everything back to 200, and turn it off again. I don't know if it'll even work this way but may be worth a try.
I know these are just workarounds, but they may be easier to deal with than messed up notification tones at least until a fix of some sort is found.
Another possibility is using a 3rd party app, but I couldn't tell you which to go with there.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
I'm going to try that 500 to 200 thing because I know I would forget to delete them. Thanks for the help.

Let me know if that actually works. I'm curious about it myself now.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Yeah it worked I already had it cap at 500. I put it down to 200 and waited a while and it works fine now. I am using the whistle ringtone that came on the phone btw.

Very cool! So when you get to 500 and set it back to 200, it does delete the 300 oldest msgs? Then you set it back to 500 till next time right?
I know that's pretty much what I said earlier. Just making sure it worked how I thought it would.
Anyway, I'm glad it did!
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Yeah it did, well I think. There is no way to count them as far as I know. It does work now though, the ringtone that is. To be honest I don't like that u gave to do this.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
I don't blame you. Like I said, its just a work around, not a fix. Maybe another build would be better?
Actually I just thought of something else. A lot of audio issues have been solved by removing MusicFX.apk and .odex from /system/app. If you're rooted you could try that as well. If it fixes it flash DSP Manager to replace it. I have a copy if you need it. Just let me know
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
I'm not rooted but I can root. I won't have time to do this until tomorrow at about 7 pst so ill try it then.

Any app that does this?

So, here is the situation with my Samsung Galaxy S2. Every now and then, when the phone is left idle and I try to browse to use the Internet after a while, the speeds are unusable.
So, I run one of those network refresh apps every now and then (which basically puts the phone into airplane mode and back) and that always solves the problem.
My question is whether anyone knows an app that can do this automatically, say once every hour.
Now, this is an issue that I had with my phone ever since I installed ICS on it and none of the different ROMs had helped and neither did flashing different radios.
So, if anyone knows an app like this or has a similar problem with their phone, all help is much appreciated.
Should be a way to do this in either Llama, which is free, or Tasked, which is a paid app.

Inactive user rom

I got this epic as a extra phone and I'm trying to find a inactive ROM so I can use WiFi and use it as a gaming and music device.. thanks
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
I guess not
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
What do you mean by "inactive"? Like the phone is no longer being used for calling/texting and is not on a contract of any sort?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk 2
Exactly.. just looking for a ROM to use as a tablet for games n such.. one that takes up little space.. right now I'm on slim ROMs...
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
Honestly, that's probably the smallest ROM you'll get, you can remove a lot of stuff from the system like ringtones, notification sounds, etc.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk 2
I let the kids play with my spare Epic as a gaming device. Just keep it in airplane mode w/ wifi enabled. Then I hide the phone app in the launcher so they're not opening it by accident.
I doubt any reasonable amount of space would be recovered by removing the phone app altogether.
Random king made a WiFi only version of thunder hawk... I had it somewhere if I find it I'll happily spread the goods.

Dudes ROMs were pretty intense. My one e4g ran beautifully on thunderhawk.
