Now he is facing some serious problems, he said just happened itself .
Sometimes working fine until i press back, home, settings or search button. When is working touch screen seems to be working perfect, Power button working fine, i can feel that phone vibrate etc. Sound is working as well
Looking for some advice before i will reassembly the phone.
Regards

Flex cable is probably broken. Send it to service, remember, relock bloader!

Um, if you relock bloader, you will get a new phone, cuz they wount know that you have did those processes like custom ROM, unlocked bloader or kernel..
Its like getting your warranty back

Seen as ur from dublin theres a good place which will fix it for 15euro and have it back within 4-5hours. As the above poster said re-lock the bootloader and flash stock. I brought it to this place and had to re-lock and unroot. They never noticed the difference or didnt care. PM me for the location and details

Just 15euro? Damn!

unless you want to fix it your self... there is a video on how to disassembly the xperia play and purchase the flex cable of ebay... ive seen many and seen the video... if you need links just PM

yea its the flex cable which needs replacing as i remember my psp going like this a few years ago, easy enough to fix if you'v got a steady hand mind

Same here except I've got two updates today! Sure wish it said what they were. I'm worried this is the update to force us to pay for tethering.

But if its hardware releted, how was he able to take a screenshot of the problem?
It screenshots what it sends to the screen right?
Anyhow yes, take it to the service center they will fix it.

screen flciering doesn't mean the whole screen is 'bricked' or something.
you see he is in gallery. if his whole screen was broken there would only be a black screen, but you did feel your battery getting hot, because your phone was on, but the screen broken and so could not display anything. and yet, it screenshots what it sends to the screen, so you can also see the flickering.
there is a part of it broken, and a part still working, and the screenshot-taking part is still working.

STUPID. STUPID. STUPID. STUPID. STUPID. Y U SO STUPID.
If anyone tries this and bricks his/her device, blame this guy.
Seriously dude, you can't just 'flash' a kernel designed for a COMPLETELY different SoC!
NEVER EVER DO THIS.
You can't even 'port' this kernel (compiled from source) to the Xperia S without a huge darn load of work.
Even msm8960 (blue/mint) would be closer.
Sorry if I am sounding a bit harsh, but I cannot let him pass through with this kind of 'advice'.
Please, if you want to contribute, get your facts straight in the first place!

Nfc Problem

I don't know what has happened, I haven't messed with anything I shouldn't, but for some reason, my nfc has stopped working!
Is there anything I could check to see if something is missing or deactivated or something because it's doing my head in!

Did you remove the back plastic cover of your phone?

I have had the cover off and a cheap flip cover on which does not have the nfc chip on and the phone never did anything different.
I have the original cover on with the chip and it's not working.
I don't know the exact time it started, I've only just noticed it.
Even restarting my phone has no effect.
Bit of an update, going into settings and turning the nfc on with the switch turns it on but it crashed the os.
Since then it appears to be working again but, I will need to find a nfc card to test.

Known bug. When the NFC toggle goes blank, just hit it, let System UI crash and re-open, and the toggle will work until you reboot again.
Yeah i have experience many times on my device (with different stock roms).
