[Q] 2.3.4 in Ireland/Sony Ericsson and meteor network

Hi,
Can anyone clear this up for me,I live in Ireland and still havent got the Xloud etc update and now the 2.3.4 update has come along and nothing.
I have called SE a couple of times but they said they have released it to everyone and is up to my phone provider which is Meteor,But I have a friend who works for meteor and said this is pure lies.
I have tried to connect to PC companion for update but says my phone is up to date but I have heard of people in Ireland with the Xloud update.
Just getting a bit frustrated here, Can anyone explain or help with this

Did your friend confirm your carrier has already released it?

+1 Unlocking my boot loader was the best thing I've done to my phone yet, gone are the days of having to sit around waiting.

AH id be terrified to do that as much as id love to, seems like everyone is happy when they do it but id be afraid it would be too complicated and I would mess up my phone.
Thanks a million though for your reply. didnt expect a reply that quick

Actually, a question for the OP. I can't get my meteor Arc to boot into fastboot mode (or whatever it's called...the mode with the blue LED on startup) which leads me to believe it's carrier locked. Do you find the same? I haven't got the 2.3.4 update either.
If my phone is carrier locked, is there any way to upgrade besides through my carrier? This could be a real noob question!

Flashtool, which is stated in the stickys. ;-)
Sent from my LT15i using XDA App

Hmm...I had tried that already and when it didn't work I put it down to a carrier lock thing. On reflection though I had been doing this on a virtual machine which could have caused my problems.
Thanks, and apologies for the noob-ness!

GSM conection completly dead. On every ROM.

I dont wanna keep spamming Doomlords kernel Thread so i created a new one here.
The thing is that after flashing Doomkernel v11 (maybe the is not the reson) my gsm conection is completly broken. No calls, No SMS, No Data.
I tried flashing kernel v10, full wipe, flashing with flashtool fw .368, .42, .62.
Nothing of that changes anything.
please help me!

Have you overclocked your CPU?
Sent from my beautiful Xperia PLAY using xda premium

yes, but only up to 1.2 ghz but the new doomkernel wich maybe coused this has also gpu overclock. Could it be the reson?

Have you tried the repair tool in SE PC Companion (or is it SEUS?). I haven't used it since I had an x10 mini pro, but I remember it could solve all sorts of problems. Could be worth investigating

Hmm i have to lock my bootloader for that. Okay i will give it a try.

Tried it multiply times. Changed nothing.

First, don't worry! My friend had the same problems with radio in his Arc S...
This thing worked for him - It may sound stupid but turn off your phone, pull the battery and put your phone in some cool and safe place and don't use it for some time, a week or two.
At his case after about 12 days everything went back to normal and I don't f*cking know why
Cheers!

I will try that. But if it does not work its 12 days wasted time...

Hey Bro, feel bad for you
I remember it happened to me when I did something stupid with v10. And have no radio after that.
Don't know if this will work for you but what I did was flashed .42 first then it had signal and flashed .62 again and everything is okay now.

Have you tried flashing back to stock kernel?

Stock kernel is being flashed whenever you flash stock ROM.
Try writing to alejandrissimo, he had some fixes for broken radio.
Sent from my beautiful Xperia PLAY using xda premium

jep i contacet him, he said he can fix it but it coasts 24 dollar, i did not really understand why. But thats still much cheaper than if i send it to sony and they void my warrenty.... but i sended it to sony two month ago becouse of broken flexcable and that was completly free... hard decision...

This radio repair is paid because of setool credits that are needed to be used in order to repair your device using this software.
But you have warranty, 24$ is not much and if radio repair work for you, you will still have warranty in case of serious damage.
Cheers!

Thank you. I think i will pay it, its better than not having my phone for weeks...again...

Have you tried other sim cards in the handset?
Sent from my Xperia Play using XDA App

He already did that, he said about that in DooMLoRD's thread about kernel.
Sent from my beautiful Xperia PLAY using xda premium

He tried his sim in another phone and it worked. I think he's sending it to Sony or getting the radio unbricked
Sent from my R800i using xda premium

Alejandrissimo really did it!! I paid him 20€, a bit more than he wanted and than he did it. Now it just works, i could not be happier.

Ics fast approaching?

So its getting closer to june, we were told when ics was due in feb/march that it was being delayed till may/june.
My question is does anyone really think we will get an official ics at all?

I think there's no reason not to, we got the beta, and our Xperia Play's are pretty decent to run ICS has the Arc S.
Just a matter of time I believe

Don't say fast approaching! They'll delay it even further! You know they watch these forums, right!?

Slowly approaching...
Not to mention, the date they gave is when they start rolling it out, it could take 4 - 6 weeks from the first release til your specific one. August/September ; how does that sound?

Not to mention the fact that while all of you lucky R800i users will probably get an official ICS update, we R800x users probably don't have a snowball's chance in hell of ever getting it.

http://www.ptcrb.com/vendor/complete/view_complete_request_guest.cfm?modelid=18898
For R800i I take a regular look at this site. We'll be close to ICS when some new builds will show up here. Right now, the newest build for R800i is German's .69. So any future builds should be ICS builds I think.

[Q]
I'm on Stock 2.3.3 now and when IXS comes around for my R800i, will I have to unroot first?
(I'll be updating via PCC).

Have you noticed that normal Arc and the other 2011 handsets that were due out same time as Play have been up there on there lists for a while ready to go. No sign of the Plays FW. With so many issues with games on there Beta Rom, Would it be a good idea from Sony to release FW which is very buggy and takes half of the plays features away. Cant see game Dev's rushing out to Fix there old titles just for Sony's mistake.

is there any reason why sony delay xperia play ICS? forget the beta version, we just need the final one

Can't someone just compile a ROM for us?

Just sit back and enjoy the ride the update will xome eventually if your obsessed with updates get a ps3 it updates everytime you turn it on
Sent from my R800a using XDA

That only updates often to try to stop cfw and true blu users.

I seem to remember Sony saying that people would be better staying on Gingerbread.
I wouldn't be surprised if Sony didn't update.
Though, in all fairness, some of the ICS ROMs on here are better looking than the standard Sony stuff
Sent from my Xperia Play using xda premium

Update
I am sure, that Sony will give us the ICS update.
The situation about updates was/is bad for Sony, so they want to change something a give updates earlier.
BUT, as they said, gingerbread is running good and ICS is not optimalized yet. I think, that update will came later than they said, but it WILL come.
Here is also question about gaming HW. So this is/will be big problem i think. On ICS it has different functionality than GB.
No one maked rom, that will support gaming HW in all ways like stock rom. And THIS will be problem about new ICS.

I'm gonna say that people should wait and see what the Cyanogenmod team do with it. They made gingerbread even better with CM7
Sent from my Xperia Play using xda premium

Still undecided whether I will update.
Will it be like installing Windows Vista on an old PC?
Or will it be like installing Windows 7?
If it's a 'Vista like experience' I deffo don't want to do it.

I'm guessing that's because Sony hasn't released the source for the beta.

So, we're still a pretty small group here in the Ion forum, and a lot of us are using BL locked AT&T phones. I bought the LT28i online, unlocked the bootloader and rooted the gingerbread that came on my phone as per the fantastic instructions by Spectre51 and yuunanase.
This is my primary phone, in fact I sold my Xperia X10 and Arc to cover the cost of the Ion, so i have no backup and nothing to switch to if i brick this thing. That said, in my situation, would you chance flashing the chinese ICS rom? or would you stick it out for the stock build for your region?
Simon

Nothing wrong with flashing the lt28h rom. You aren't going to see much different between it and what gets released in the next couple of months. I am loving my rooted lt28at on the ics firmware and international baseband. No issues and runs really well.

There's virtually no chance of bricking it, and if (on the off-chance it does happen), complain to anyone and everyone online that you got a defective product. It's worked for a few of my friends on more than a few occasions. Anyways, ICS is wonderful. I haven't found any blatent problems with it so far (other than when you first flash it, you have to go and change the language to English whilist in Chinese, which was a bit hard).

I would go for it. Starting from the L28i should be even easier than from the L28at. It at least saves you a step.

That happened to me the first time, but every other time it assumed I wanted English. That first time was amusing though. I had my Tablet S out and was comparing icons. Finally I just assumed usb debug and unknown apps were checked and moved on.

I hate my Xperia S

I hate my Xperia S after the latest upgrade. Widgets and Icons gone on reboot and swift keyboard too. Worse, there are so many bugs, charging light and many more. I keep having to reboot it as well. I have factory reset it and also flashed again with PC Companion but still it is awful. It's got to the point where I am considering just giving up and getting a Galaxy, (I have Galaxy Tab and that is fine after same upgrade).
I cannot believe a company like Sony can produce such a bad update and not do anything about it
So before it goes in the bin, is there any thing I can do?

unlock the bootloader and flash a better rom

Sony made a special update from which you only got such bugs in this world.hahaha
We all are using this awesome update without almost any bugs at all. All the previous bugs are fixed now.
1080p video recording working fine.
2G data connectivity issue fixed.
More free RAM.
Super smooth.
& many more!
I suggest you to reinstall the FW using flashtool and enjoy! It is really awesome.
But be more careful while restoring all the downloaded apps with data. Thanks

I'm also having problem with my ion after the jb update. My phone lags and even hangs when i download apps and files.. this is very annoying. I'm currently using my s4 updated to 4.2.2. It makes me wonder why i'm wasting my time fixin my ion.

Use trinity ROM. And if you're still not satisfied. Buy an iPhone, no lags and no trouble,no rooting, no hustle, no flash, no NFC.
