Xperia play home button defaults to clock - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys I seem to be having an issue with my phone where when I plug in a pair of headphones it for some reason changes my home button to open the clock app and makes every incoming call anwser with the speakerphone even after I take the headphones out. The only way to fix it I have found is to take out the battery for 15 seconds and then put it back in (I am doing this about 3 times daily). From what I can tell it looks like my xp thinks its in a dock and is acting accordingly. If you could guys could help me out or even give me a way to prevent it that would be great. I am on an unlocked rodgers r800a running cyanogenmod 7. Any feedback is appriciated.
Thanks

Anyone?

Nothing really I just sold my ipod and started using my play to listen to music and noticed it happening. It happend once before but I didn't know what caused it then I read up on it and saw a guy on another forum had the same problem and taking the battery out fixed it. Then when it started happening a lot I experimented with it and figured out it was when I plug in any pair of headphones it messes up.

Tried backing up only important programs and data, then reflashing back to stock?

It goes into dock mode if power is plugged in, then you plug in headphones. To fix it, unplug power, then unplug and replug your headphones.

one x doesn't turn on, charge, or go into recovery.

as title says. last night I was simply watching a movie when i noticed the handset was very very hot, which is weird as it wasn't doing anything too stressing, i figured id let it cooldown abit, not two seconds after the video stopped, the audio went all messed up. I turned it off manually, and it restarted all normally. it happened again, although it wasn't particularly hot, however this time I did not manually restart it, I figured id wait to see if it sorts itself out. Instead it turned off. And it refuses to power on, charge or even go into boot. No idea, what's wrong.

Got that twice with ma HOX...trust me...just plug on wall charger and leave it for a while (30mins or so) and when LED starts to flash, try to boot your device again.
i will try
This is weird but yeah I left in charge for about 12± hours, started flashing about a few mins ago and it's working perfectly. Pretty sure my phone is possessed. So yeah leave it in charge until it flashes.
Btw I'm not doing much, and it's already getting a bit warm, anything I can do to make my phone handle more? Is there a way to under clock this?

No idea then, motherboard may be dead if that's how unresponsive it is. If you have warranty send it off for repairs. Can you get into recovery? How about plugging it into a laptop/computer?

that sounds very bad
Has anyone tried this?
I had the same problem, no warranty because I unlocked it. Got it back, and found this topic.
Note: It can happen you need to try different pc/notebooks before it charges. I had to switch to 3 different pc s.

Do not talk nonsense, do not lose the warranty if the unlocked bootloader, but this board is dead aniway , nothing can see. Send to the service and solve the problem.

[Q] seperate? bluetooth issue

i connect the phone through my car's radio via bluetooth. when i start up my car, and after the connection is made, the bluetooth drops and restarts about 20-25 seconds in. once it reconnects, it will continue this cycle. i have found that if i press the next song button it will play ok, though only about half of the track tags will display.
i am running the Team VeNuM - STOCK L900VPALJC - DEODEXED AND ODEXED with the perseus kernel.
I dont know if you have noticed this with regular radio, but the radio looses power when you turn your car over in most post 2001 cars... the windshield wipers stop, the cabin lights get dimmer... the only thing that doesn't loose power is the 22v ports... so it's a car problem, not a phone problem

Help revive me old play!

Hi guys, firstly wanted to say i apologise if my query is already out there but i did have a quick look.
Right basically i got fed up using my Orange San Diego [also is falling apart] so i dug around my draw of bits and bobs and found my old xperia play. now i know i had problems with it well over a year or 2 ago, so here goes
Bascially if i try to turn it on i get the little blue light and vibration and nothing on the screen [ i remeber the screen started getting tempremental] and would have to open and close it a few times lol
At the moment its on charge and the blue light keeps coming on for a few seconds then going, and a fw seconds later back on.
Any help? Not sure what custom rom i put on as i was dabbling in all of that blindly a few years go.
Thanks again for your help.

If the screen was acting up, you might have to replace the flex cable.

When does the blue light appear? And when you connect your XPlay to your computer, is it booted up to the ROM, or is it in fastboot/flashmode?
The blue light appears either when I'm charging it or when I connect it to my pc via usb it'll flash a few seconds while the pc tries to install the drivers.
I don't know abot boot etc as can't see screen could I have bricked it before?

What's the status of your Search Button? Maybe that's the problem, as it seems like it's continuously pressed. Is it short-circuited?

[Q] Bricked

So I guess I bricked my phone when I tried taking it back to stock... The phone will not turn on, will not respond to any charger, WILL NOT DO ANYTHING............................
Honestly I have taken mine to the point a few times. First time I drained the battery to the point it was there. See if u can get to dl mode plugged in with no battery.
Second time something weird happed at a strange point in the flahs...and I really thought I toasted it.I reluctantly did as it said in the "so u bricked ur epic" thread and un plugged it, removed sd card, removed battery and let it sit for an hour. I am not playing when I said it worked for some reason. If I read it I would not have believed it but that is the way it went. Give it a whirl....noot like u can mess it up more. There is a guy who will recover it if it is really toast...via jtag

This just happened to me, after a bad odin back-to-stock trying to fix some problems the phone just turn off, no screen, no leds. The phone is dead, can´t access to download mode either. I change the usb cable but didn't show any sign of life. After about 30 min of giving up, I tried pressing the Turn On/Off + 1 buttons, trying to access Download mode several time just hoping it magically works, and suddenly there it is, Download mode. After that, phone is working.
Not sure is this would help, but it least I tell me experience. Good Luck.

That is what I have seen to. As suggested above... rip the card and battery and let it sit for a while (hr plus I would say) and try again with no battery to get to dl mode.

Disassembled phone - now screen won't turn on...

Hi,
I disassamble my HTC One X to clean the microphone hole. Put it back together and then noticed some static noise coming form the earpiece. So I took it apart again. I tried to figure out what was wrong with the earpiece... No clue. So I applied a bit of pressure to the earpiece. I turned the phone back on while still without the backcover and earpiece now seemed fine. Before reassembling it I decided it would be better to turn it off. Which is quite hard without the button. And this is where something must have gone wrong. I pressed down quiet hard on power button and now the screen won't go one again. I never really manage to turn it off.
The power button still seems to be working. If I push it for five seconds the home button and the other two will flash. But apart from that nothing much happens. Plugin the phone in makes the led glow red.
Does anyone have an idea what could be the problem here? Any ideas are welcome!
Thx,
TiredHornet
Keep it plugged in for a while and retry. I'm not saying that your battery is drained, but it maybe acts like it somehow (happened to me a few times).
Good luck.
