[Q]Xperia play wont recharge! - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
Some help needed. I'm not sure why but my phone won't recharge after i mod it. everything is fine and dandy when I'm on stock ROM. Using Build .62 android 2.3.4.
I have narrowed it down to a couple of problems..
1) after rooting ( doomlords zergling rush)
2)after using doomkernel v01/02
Has anyone else come across this type of problem? I think it's a bit strange or it could be that the build has issues..
I can and have flashed back to stock rom and it's charging again. so thats not an issue. I would just like to know if there any way around having to flash back to stock every damn time i wanna charge the phone.
Sorry posted in the wrong section. Mods can you please move this to the Q & A. So so sorry.

what rom are u using??
doomkernel v1/2?? is it for ICS??
use this kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1176502 for your gingerbread

Why are you using DooMKernel v1 or v2? Use v13 3013. Just a hunch, but a kernel that was outdated almost right after it appeared could be the problem.

Buggy after Firmware flash

So, ive gotten a lot of junk on my phone recently so i decided to reflash the .62 Firmware. Now, after some days of use, every STOCK app has grown buggy. Gallery not loading pics, browser has infinite loading time, and widgets doesnt work properly.
I run Doomkernel v11 if it makes a difference.
When i reboot though, everything is fixed for a day or so. After that day; the problem returns.
What should i do ? Reflash Firmware ? Get a new kernel ?
Any help is very appreciated ;-)

Get a new custom ROM that is based on stock .62 firmware like what I'm using (JokaWild ROM >>> link is on my signature). When I flashed .62 I noticed those bugs and lags quickly so I flashed custom ROM to fix those things. And now, I'm very happy overclocked at 1.4ghz max and min of 576mhz and is not a battery drainer! ftw!
If your theory was to be true, then how can it be that the stock ROM that followed with the firmware was buggy too ? (using SE Tweaked now)

[Q] Why flash custom ROMs?

What are the pros and cons of flashing a new ROM? And is it buggier than the stock ROM that are already flashed into our phones? And whats the best ROM out there for the xperia play?
These questions are despised by some people XD
I advise you google these questions!

Just googled it and found out why you should flash ROMs. Im planning to flash a ROM and also overclock my phone. Whats the best ROM out there for the xperia play which is fully functional (e.g. camera works, 3d data works etc) and resembles a little bit to ICS. Also, is it possible for me to get GB 2.3.7 as a cusom rom (i think thats the latest GB).

I recommend you JokaWild v3 Rom with DooMKerneL... I think that it is the best rom for the XPERIA Play for now. Smooth ,fast ,bugfree and very stable.
Ive had a look on a few roms and it came down to this:
JokaWild v3
OR
TrueAncestor
Will I be able to overclock using this ROM and DL's kernal?

You will need to flash FW 0.62 and custom kernel with root before installing the JokaWild rom. Everything works great ,no bugs! I replaced the theme of the rom to Gin2Ics - very nice.
so basically this is what I have to do. (currently, my phone is on .42, rooted and has cwm installed).
1) unlock bootloader
2) flash .62 Rom
3) get a custom kernal. Can I put DL's kernal? If yes, which one?
4) Flash jokawild using cwm
is that it?
Yep ,all good. You can use v14 ,works great with the JW. Don't forget to flash the wifi modules for this kernel ,very important if you want to remain you wifi/3G.
how would i back up my current stock rom? And will my contacts/messages etc be deleted or only the apps will be deleted when i flash a new rom and kernal?
Also, ive tried looking for the .62 and the kernal but couldnt find it. Could someone post a link. Thanks.
And will the widgets that came with the xperia s ui work on the joka wild rom? (eg the weather widget? )
I think I may have founded the files:
So I download the .62 stock rom = http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1406589
and then download this kernal = http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1406589
then flash jokawild v3?
0.62 FW = http://www.mediafire.com/?ytpsh7yay394b7p
DooMKerneL v14 = http://bit.ly/play_dk_14
Wifi Modules = http://d-h.st/JBM
JokaWild v3 Rom = http://www.mediafire.com/?xzvt84s6vy388tk
flash the FW via flashtool
unlock the BL
flash DooMKerneL V14
flash via CWM the WIFI modules
wipe data/factory reset via CWM
flash via CWM JokaWild v3 Rom
Thank you so much. i'll just download those files and then hopefully my phone will be running jokawild v3. (Btw can anybody post screenshots of the ui of jokawild. Ive only managed to find 2 screenshots and their only in the settings menu)..

In my opinion ,the stock theme of the rom isn't so much pretty... I'm using Gin2Ics theme with this rom ,very pretty and looks great.

im currently flashing the .62 fw now using flashtool but its been on 13% for about 20 minutes, is this normal?
its now been over 2 hours and now its on 19%. How long does this take? Is there any way to pause/stop it instead of plugging the phone out?
Ffinally I have flashed the .62 fw !!!
Now theres another problem, I need root to have cwm in order to flash the ROM and kernels. I tried using ginger break and the superoneclick method and it doesn't work although I heard you cant root on a .62 fw ... If this is the case then how did u get jokawild running ???

[Q] Wifi don`t start after installing CM9.1 on ARC LT15a

Hi All,
First of all, congratulations for the forum and great project on adroid!!! I'm new on this, and hope learn something here and who knows help in some development.
I will inform a lot of things on this post since i don't know what can be relevant....
I unlocked my phone, and installed ICS Beta from Sony, and used for a while, but, I really want to use CM 9 or 10... so i've downloaded, the stable packages of CM9.1, and CWM5 and installed on the phone as described in many places here and on the CM Wiki, and all functions work ok besides my wifi, it simply doesn't start(Don't star on CM 9 /9.1/ 10)...
Ive also installed baseband mods hoping this can help, but nothing happens....
The same thing happend with ICS Beta From Sony but the Dommlord package to enable WIFI and Bluetooth helped on that version...
So my need is to enable my wifi connection that is dead on the CM 9.1, the phone shows enabling wifi message for a long time and never starts the wifi hardwares... any tips to help me ???
I'm Using a Xperia Arc Lt15a with CMW 5+ and CM 9.1 (FXP139 for now but this happens with any version of CM 9.XXX)...
I Know that SE made diffrent hardwares to some places of the world, so i'm from Brasil, if this helps...
Thanks in advance!!
Leonardo.
No One can help??
Theres a wifi patch addon. Install that. Look at the rom thread
Sent from my LT15i using xda premium
Install suitable baseband and libs if available.
Look at the ROM thread for supporting baseband.
Look at the thread for basebands and libs -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688049
Not sure why anyone would choose to flash the Beta at this stage. Flash the latest stock ROM first then CM and report back.
Thanks
Hi, Guys,
Thanks for all replys... i'll try the basebands, but need to read more about it, i don't know wich version is the correct for my device or location, ...
I want to install CM 9 because its faster then the original from Sony, i'm using, the firmware from sony but it's realy slow.. and constantly freezes...
Thanks,
Leo.

Do what I said above, I've never had any wifi issues CM9 and the reasons you are is obvious.

G Sensor Problems

Hey guys,
So I flashed the Jellytime AOKP v7 on my DHD and the G Sensor is not working... I tried playing temple run and a few other games (I tilt the screen but nothing happens)... Do you have a solution??? If so please help!!

Its an issue with auto rotation. You need to flash the rooted stock ROM (somewhere around here), do the basic setup & flash JellyTime again.
A simple search would have solved this problem without the need to make a new thread
What Guy said. But also: JellyTime AOKP is quite old. If it's AOKP you're after, there's another AOKP ROM running around now that's newer. You might want to check that out.

Which kernel are you using and what params for that ( if any ?)...?

well, right now i have franko kernel installed , no params adjusted... not even sure where i would find the section in settings.. on a stock Verizion JB 4.2... im not even sure what would be the best rom to try
some one suggested MetalC.. but i cant find the Gapps that work with that one... so what i need is a solid ROM, Kernel and Gapps..
i was able to root via the Nexus Root Tool kit... that went well... but now i need to decide what Toro version rom i need to use.. and im keeping an eye out to see if the Franko kernel brings any joy for those random reboots and shutdowns... the guy i bought the Gnex from said he will do a full refund but i want to sort this out if possible... this little machine is too cool just to cash out on...
time to research on roms and stuff i guess..

For 4.4 go for cMetal / Playfulgod / dhacker's CM builds, for a 4.3 experience i dunno any one for toro and for kernel i think you can try out MpoKang as it can be flashed on 4.3 and up just have a look in the official thread and you'll be able to find zips plus use trickster app for the kernel control :good: !!
well, a bit of a followup friday swapped out the stock kernel for Franko kernel... and i have had it on for about most of the day yesterday and zero random shutdowns and no SOD.. this little thing is great and its a lot more easy to have this around then a remote for 2 google tv a roku and an xbmc box... i have not delved into new roms, the JB stock seems to be working fine im getting at least 10 hrs out of the battery... this is be best micro tablet i could ever find for 70 bucks... and the screeen is quite nice.. im sure i will be moding soon enough... but for now just a kernel change seems to have put an end to the sleep of death and random shutoffs..
