[Q] what happened to my xperia? nothing works - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i upgraded from 8 to 32gb SD card for my play. and i did a factory restore on top of it to start fresh. and am having problems.
1.almost no game can be installed, the games i backed up before restoring don't install "application not installed"
2.preloaded games don't work: it tells me content is not found, i download it, then it says an error occurred when running it.
3.psxperia custom apks don't install "application not installed" again
4.songs sound choppy and jump around, some don't even play
i don't get how changing SD cards could cause something like this.
help please?
and yea rooted

Did you do a factory reset or did you re-flash the firmware? Since you have root, did you delete any system apps? Doing a factory reset after removing some system apps can cause the phone to stop working. Try a re-flash this time if you didn't do so already

backed up games and music then did a factory reset only.

Could be a faulty sd card stick it into card reader and pop it into a PC and check it for errors. I had a 16 gb card go the other way and it was only 2 weeks old! That just gave me a reason to go buy a 32 gb card

[Q] After a factory reset, how does restoring apps/data play with apps2sd?

Im doing some backing up for a factory reset since im having some issues with the phone.
So I've pushed a lot of apps to the SD card, so theres info partly on my phone and partly on the sd card for these. Now, when I do the reset and use titanium to restore the apps/data, I imagine that it will remember that its both on the phone and sd card
But then, what I just do a normal apk install of an app I've pushed to sd? Apps fully install on the phone first, and then need user action to push to sd. Is it going to install the full app, or just the part that was on the phone before the reset?
I'm having trouble fully communicating what I'm thinking here, hopefully ya'll get the gist.
Slight tangent...after reading flipz's post about using titanium backup, what I'm getting out of it is that using it should be fine since I'm not changing the ROM I'm using, but the problems I'm having now (when hitting home or backing out of an app, the phone will spontaneously crash htc sense and the home screen will completely redraw as if i had rebooted) could be caused by an app i currently have, and restoring the settings might cause the problem all over again. Hope I'm reading that right.
TIA for any help!
currently ROM: fresh evo 3.1.0.1
current kernel: netarchy toastmod froyoized 3.7.6b
boo im hesitant to attempt without knowing what might happen

Apps fail to install

Ever since I upgraded my Desire to stock Froyo from Telus, some apps I've tried to install are failing. It just says that the installation was unsuccessful. I currently have 24mb of internal space, and 6.4gb of SD card space.
Any ideas why this is happening? It's really starting to bug me.
Ditto
Apologies for posting in the Desire thread, however my unrooted HTC Incredible with 2.2 is having the same issues. Apps will download and attempt to install, only to fail.

what apps are failing to install?
Any app really. I tried to upgrade trillian, and it was failing to work. I don't know why, but once I actually uninstalled what was already on my phone, it started working again. Same thing with Google Translate app.

are you using apps2sd? myabe your ext partition is full
My apps install to my phone by default, then I use App 2 SD to move it. I currently have 6gb of free external space.
Hmm ok. I notced that they fail to update already isntall apps if the App is on my SD card.
Any solutions to that?
I had this with LeeDrOiD, you will need root and S=Off, remove the smdl2tmp1.ascec in: /mnt/secure/asec/smdl2tmp1.asec.
As always, do a nandroid backup.

Cannot install or update any apps

As stated. I also cannot move any apps to sd card. Plenty of room on both. Phone is able to access files on sd. Apk files download, but won't install whether from market or other. Tried reboot and removing sd card. Won't install or update any way I try. Stock GB 2.3.4.

Not sure why you would't be able to move any apps to the sd card, but for the market refusing to install, open up Google Talk and make sure your signed in. Not sure why it works, but any time the market won't install apps, and I check Talk, I'm not signed in. As soon as I sign in, the market installs fine.
I've never used gtalk but I'll try it...

If that doesn't work you should probably factory reset the phone if you haven't done that yet after the ota gb update.

Gtalk sign in didn't help. Trying to avoid factory reset if I can...

Your going to have to factory reset. I had the problem where apks would download but not install and more. Factory reset fixed all my issues for the most part.

Broke down and did factory reset...now to get the screens back how I liked them. Hope this don't happen again.

Phone randomly restarting after root/debloat

Is anyone having an issue with their phone restarting randomly? I have only had the phone a day and it has happened twice. I suspect it is either a problem with root or a problem with disabling the bloatware using nobloat. Anyone that is rooted having these issues?
I havent had that happen to me. I am rooted and i used nobloat. No reboots or anything yet. Although adw ex launcher lags when i hit the home button not alot but its noticeable.
reboots?
Ran doomlord's zergrush and no bloat, everything is fine here. no lag or reboots.
I took my sd card straight from my Captivate to the Nitro. Maybe that could be causing some issues. I'll reformat it then see how it does.

Please do update
Reboots seem to have stopped after formatting my sd card. I will report back if it happens again.
Hmmm i seem to be getting the same issue. If i'm switching back and forth from different apps or opening lots of apps, it "freezes". Only wait to unfreeze for me was to hold power button down and the phone would restart.
I havent formatted my sd so i have to try that. If you format, is it just the app data i lose?
You will lose everything that is stored on the SD card. You wont lose any programs unless they were installed there.
after rooting and moving apps to sd through Titanium backup . i restarted my phone and found it to be extremely slow and glitchy , apps would force close, phone would randomly go in a restart loop with LG logo, tried both SD card in / out. I restored to factory defaults with no sd card. phone loads up first boot. installed titanium backup and restored all user apps with data. works flawlessly , no glitches.
try that but make backup of your apps . i didnt back up and system apps or restored them, just the user apps. not sure if that has anything to do with it. but restoring to factory defaults after root definately did work and i still GOT ROOT !

'More Games' just loading...

Hi there, Im wondering if anyone can help - This is my first android phone so i feel a bit lost in this forum. Well i recieved the phone and i did a factory reset and now i cant access the 'More Games' in the Xperia Games section. It just says Loading.
The phone is running 2.3.4 and Build 4.0.2.A.0.4.2
any help would be great.
thanks
you can try clearing the apps data go to applications in settings menu then find the app then clear data that mite help
Ive tried that, also tried to reinstall using sony updater. Factory reset + Data reset..
I was half way thru downloading fifa 12 as well
Is there a way i can re-install android or summit?
If you want to re-install the ROM you should try to flash a new one with flashtool.
I have the same problem...
I suspect some files from the SD card might be missing and that causes the problem?
As I did a complete reset recently which included wiping off the SD card.
I would GREATLY appreciate advice on this as I don't intend to fiddle with rooting, flashing and so on. Surely there must be an official way to fix this.
