Dads phone. - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Recently it has started going and deciding when to work. His back light turns on and off by itself. Its the R800x on CSpire. Could moving it to a custom rom fix this issue? Even today it started to randomly have troubles turning on. I have his back light turned up all the way but it stills dims on its own. He's starting to call his phone a POS lol. Could it be a software issue fixable via custom rom?

Yeah download ALS toggle.

I had already disabled auto brightness and turned it all the way up.

WiFi turns off by itself

Got my sgs3 Sunday and when I got home turned on WiFi and started playing with it I notice that I lose network for a second after about 15 mins and my WiFi icon on the status bar disappear but network comes back on .. but in settings it is greyed out and I can't turn it off then back on till I reboot 0_o...thought maybe after I rooted and flash AOKP it would be fixed but no! I'm on T-Mobile and AOKP..so is it a bad WiFi driver or...? Any ideas?
#*0011# press the menu key. Select wifi. uncheck wifi power saver mode. Its should be green when on black off. Make sure its not on and done go back to home screen. Your phone should reboot the wifi driver and your done.
This method works for 4.0.4 any of the roms. Cm10 doesn't work. Cm9 haven't tried but I'm sure it'll work for u.
Hit the thanks if I've helped!

JB has these wifi issues I was expiriencing the same problems on cm10 as well. (I know not the same but both are jb) I decided to downgrade to the intrigue rom r3. It has smooth transitions. Real buttery and it let me access the wifi power saver mode by down ng the method above. I'll look into aokp and see if I can find a fix for u.

does aokp have a setting like i think TW has where if the wifi signal is too weak it will use network instead?
its called avoid bad connections on cm10

For anyone who has already turned off WiFi PSM, is anyone experiencing this setting turning itself back on? I have turned it off twice today and every so often it turns back on which ends up turning my WiFi back off...

Question: are you rebooting your phone when this happens?
Cuz if you are that's normal on every reboot you have to go back and turn it off again.

I was not rebooting the phone. I am currently trying a different rom to see if that solves anything.
Weird

Well it still keeps happening. I switched from intrigue rom to freegs3. I'm currently using the phone at work and it happened right before my eyes while using Tapatalk... I had to turn off power saver mode yet again
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2
would the method above work for me? since yesterday, my wifi kept turning on by itself. After I turned the wifi off for like a couple minutes then it'll turn on automatically again. I have the Keep Wifi on during sleep set as "only when plugged in" and it never happen to be before until yesterday. My power saving in the setting menu has always been off too. Please help! :crying::crying:
Install the app called "Wifi Fixer" app to the solve the issue.
Whatever Google did to cause a variety of wakelock problems, having a strong wifi signal seems to solve them. Apparently, wakelocks occur when there are unreliable connections to Google's servers.

Flickering screen

Not sure if this has been brought I tried looking a few pages back but didn't see anything. Anyone else having this problem with the screen flickering while its dimming ? I noticed it was doing this even on a stock ROM unrooted. Then I rooted and loaded a custom rom and it still does it. Does anyone else have this issue ?

It dims really slow and there is a flicker otherwise. Known thing.

Had the same problem, I did a factory data reset. It's a pain in the ass but it fixed the problem.
Good Luck.

blackout. screen wont turn back on

Anyone have the problem where if you turn your screen off sometimes it wont turn back on but its still on. like when im listening to music the screen will turn off and wont turn back on but the music is still palying, still got buzzes from notifications. have to pop the battery out
That's usually referred to as a Sleep of Death, or SOD, around the forums. If you look around, you'll find a lot of posts about them.
Anyone else with info on this when I search I get nothing but bull**** threads about different Roms. I'm running stock gnexus

Are you on android 4.2.1 still? If so, try turning auto brightness off. I'd your have developer settings enabled then you can turn off animator duration.
Not on 4.2.1? Then I have no idea...
Verizon Galaxy Nexus haven't gotten 4.2 .1 yet I thought. So I'm still on 4.1 .1

[Q] Charging after Root/Unlocked Phone

So I used Freegee to unlock booloaders and Adri's Root method to root the phone and everything went smoothly.
Now I usually turn off my phone to charge at night and when i do this it seems that the phone goes off, but the screen is black but glowing like the light is on inside the phone.
Is there away i can fix that? I hope this makes sense.
TIA!
Why turn it off in the first place???? And I have no answer.

Is this happening to you?

So, i love my note 3, so far. I rooted and installed Ds rom and l love it. Everything works perfectly, except for one thing my display is auto brightness itself!! I have auto brightness off, I have dynamic mode checked, and smart screen setting turn off.
Every time I start to play need of speed most wanted, it starts to auto bright itself!! :banghead:
Check out download the game and see if it happens to you!

It happens on mine too. It's a Touchwiz thing because it also happened on my S4. But once I installed CM10 on it that issue went away. I know it's annoying.

Theres nothing you can do about it , its a feature in the kernel called brite and it happened on the S4 also. A dev is gonna have to make a kernel with it disabled. Its there so when the phone gets warm or hot it dims the screen automatically until phone cools back down and then full brightness comes back. There have been a couple threads on this already and i even took my first Note back and exchanged it and the second one does it too. Its software related hopefully samsung will release an update to take this feature out

Yeah i unchecked everything and anything that had to do with auto-brightness and it seems to happen less now. Its just annoying i think its also in there to help preserve battery life but i bought this phone for the big bright screen hopefully a DEV will fix it with a custom stock kernel

I think that's good news about my phone. I thought my was defective or something like that...
I did try lux and a brighter note apps, to see if that would fix the issue, but it didn't.

Yep it's normal. Nothing you can do except keep the temp under 90F. LOL I went crazy trying to figure it out myself. Once the temp gets over 90 for me, it starts auto dimming even with everything disabled for auto-screen brightness.
