Try to be in a stock ROM or another custom and if the problem still occurs then the screen itself has problem and needs to be taken in service center(u need to remove root,custom rom)

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.

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
Sent from my GT-I9300
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

Few questions to those who use widget locker app

Does it use a lot of battery? I notice one of the permissions is "prevent phone from sleeping"
Any lag?
Overall experience with it?
Looking forward to buying it, but wanted a little feed back before I purchase it
I'm completely stock on jb btw.
Thanks in advance
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
I use it and love it. No lag at all and yes the phone sleeps fine.

Yea, widget locker is good. Haven't had any issues. I use system panel to monitor every new app I install and it barely even uses up battery life.
Thanks for the replies, one last thing, do I need to disable my original screen lock?

I used to get that a lot, so I just disabled my original lock screen. But sometimes it would still happen, the phone would just wake up straight to the launcher. Remember that widget locker is actually a launcher itself, so what I did was clear the defaults on TW launcher, Nova Launcher (one I am using) and Widget Locker, and then set the default again for Nova after hitting home, then went in and set up widget locker again to default. That seems to have fixed it.

Not too sure about the photo with flash, but the one without looks like you have a very grubby lens.
I think maybe that reflective road sign is showing how dirty the lens might be.
Give it a wipe with a decent micro-fibre cloth and see what happens.

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).
