[Q] What is the quickest way to break a xperia play? - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i know the title seems a bit off but anyway my xperia play has been sent off to be repaired twice and if it breaks again i get a new handset of the same value but my warranty goes in December but the phone speakers weren't working the other day when i went to bring it down to the shop halfway the sound works again is there anyway to make it look like it was a manufacturer fault within the phone ?

You can try to flash your boot loader and "fail" then the phone won't turn on and the LED will flash red till the BL is back

You could try sliding the gamepad up and down vigorously and hope the flex cable goes wierd. I got mine repaired that way

Install YouTube and leave that open with the charger plugged in. I fell asleep once and my phone got unbearably hot.

Yeah, maybe try to get the phone really hot and see what happens.

Do a factory reset and pull out the battery during the process haha.

Doesn't a factory reset just reset userdata? So wouldn't you just be able to do another factory reset to fix any issues that may arise from the failed reset?

Throw into water and watch it swim.

Ignore the fixable stuff!!
Leave YouTube on whilst having your charger connected. You can fry an egg on the result.

Bring it to friends and give 5 bucks for whoever who can do the most damage.

Best way, place under a vehicle and crush it

Flash an xperia arc kernel.

Xperia Play DEAD ?

Hello,
I was using my phone when he just crashed, after that my notification led doesn't work at all (charge, flashmode or fastboot), the backlight doesn't work at all too, the phone is laggy, sometime he vibes, shutdown & in the top it indicate that battery is 0% ?!
I tried much things but it still doesn't work...
If someone could help it'll be really nice.
Thanks
do you use custom rom and kernel?
if you do, just re-flash the kernel and re-install the rom, don't forget to do full wipe
and if you use original firmware (you never done anything to your phone), you can fix it using sony update service which you can find it here
http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/tools/update-service/
do what it says you to do
hope it'll help
But, I allready did all that you said, but it still the same. I think it's an hardware issue of the motherboard but how to repair that ?

At this point probably better to buy a replacement. I can get a used in nice condition AT&T xperia play for about $140 on eBay.
Even after you FTF it still has the issue?
Looks like system uid inconsistent error.

So mine isn't the only one that vibrates if you stress it out too much? Hm.
And yeah, I would restore it to stock, then remove all bloatware. If it's a hardware issue, go buy a Galaxy Nexus.

If my phone was broke, I'd go with a Galaxy Nexus in a heartbeat. Sure, we have buttons, but honestly, I just don't see the support from that many people. If this was as popular as the Xoom, GNexus, or Razr, all of our bootloaders would be unlocked. But they just don't wanna put in the time and effort.

[Q] My Note II not starting up

Hi,
i just received my note II yesterday and started to use it normally but after around 2 hours using it the screen got frozen and the device was not responding, tried to press the power bottom but with no luck, removed the battery and tried again it worked, i thought it might be a little hang, so i went to sleep but when i woke up i faced the same issue again but now phone do not want to start up now
i tried everything: starting in recovery mode, removing the SIM card and memory, nothing changed.
note:
- last night i charged the phone with my Note I charger.
- when i woke up i found the LED is lighting green.
- when i press the power key i got a red blinking LED beside the front camera.
- the shop i bought the phone from cut me the SIM card to be USIM.
Appreciate your URGENT support
Hum just use the warranty cause if you didn't root it and it does that chance are that you've got a bad phone...

Go in recovery and do a data factory reset, wipe cache and reboot. That might help

Wait a sec did I read it rite... why would you charge the note 2 with 1amp used for the note when sammy boy changed the adapter to 2amp and also red blinking indicates low battery hmm have you tried using a another battery like i don't know to a center and try it out

Of course have warranty! When you get a new phone, it comes with a warranty. That's not something that you must buy separately from the shop.

Shouldn't be too hard taking the phone back and getting it replaced assuming you actually bought it from a shop!

Xperia Play Won't boot on stock firmware HELP!

I know i'm not at the right section but no one could help me at the Q&A section.
Xperia Play Won't boot.
I bought Asphalt 7. Was downloading and installing the game when suddenly it kind of crashed. It booted again but the screen became all glitchy. Opened the phone and saw that the flex cable died so I replaced it and booted but it didn't boot at all. When pressing the on button the phone vibrates but no screen.
Allready flashed .ftf file and updated with SEUS so the device is in stock state but it doens't boot. When pressing the on button the phone vibrates but no screen.
Help me please
Maybe your flex cable isn't plugged in properly.
Have tried many times but thanx
Yea I think your phones rejecting the cable

To make sure, you have it disconnected and it's giving this error?
Maybe something on the MicroUSB leads that makes it think it's still charging?

Probably the easiest and best choice in this case. Hope they can repair it for you or offer a replacement.
Corrosion on charge port! The smallest bit can cause this! Happened with mine... I can fix.. For a price lol jk... I really can fix and really id need a price but just try to safely get charge port off and clean the crap out of it and solder it back on without damaging it

[Q] [HELP] Not sure what happened...

Hello all...
I typically charge my phone while I sleep and it has never been a problem. I was running the stock deodexed ICS rom on my phone at the time. i unplugged it and all was well as usual. i grabbed my phone to come put a JB rom on it this morning and i left it on my desk, not plugged in. I came back to it and it was HOT, the entire phone, and wouldn't do anything. I took out the battery and let it cool (phone and battery) and now I got nothing.
Is there anything I can do??? I tried to search but couldn't find anything on this...
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

See if you can get into download mode or recovery. But let it cool for awhile.

Thanks for the replies guys. I am looking for a bit of advice from the mobile tech guys for a concern I have...
I was wondering if Samsung has the same stuff they do.... T-mobile is sending me a warranty swap.... I don't want to get a bill about the phone....

my phone once was doing that same thing when it was just sitting there on the table. I picked it up though and felt it was very hot and pulled the battery before it could fry itself. It probably was some code that was looping or something because my phone never did it again
