my country haven't released this 2.3.4 update, maybe i will get it soon, can you tell me the apps name so i can use after updating 2.3.4

in 2.3.4 surely u would have "screen shot" option build in.. just long press on power button, then wolaa

thanks

I've always used a free program (for outlook sync) that has a build in screenshot feature, it's called MyPhoneExplorer, but i dunno for sure if this also works for unrooted phone (on the site it says it should).

Get flashtool and upgrade to 2.3.4 using the world generic firmware

I've found "Screenshot It" app... but I am rooted. There is a "no root" version as well.

Is it rooted?

No. It isn't

I would suppose either try really hard to remember the password, or re-flash the firmware

How would I go about flashing the firmware ?

dont flash the firmware .. but do a hard reset. For instructions on doing a hard rest.. just google how to hard reset xperia play

I tried that and i followed the steps involving pc companion . The only thing about that is it keeps saying Sony Ericcson server overload . No matter how many tries it always says that toward the final steps

Use flashtool and download one of the stock firmwares from the dev section here
Flashtool is pretty easy to use once setup

You can use WotanServer to flash firmware, Slightly more user friendly.

Does usb debugging have to be on ?

With wotanserver you pull the bettery put the usb in then hold the search button then put the battery and it will boot in to fastboot or something and it will flash it that way, so I would imagine it would not need to be on, I don't know since I have USB debugging on all the time. Flash tool and Wotan do the same thing, and both have instructions before it starts flashing.

Sounds useful. Do you have a link that would take to download wantonserver ?

Why dont you try reinstalling the firmware from pc companion. Just go to software update and repair your software...

Go with wontanserver since its easy and you can pick any firmware version you want and it will download and flash it for you with 1 click

Wontanserver costs money plus I'm not sure if it works for the Verizon cdma Xperia play

It's much easier if you sit there for hours trying to guess the password.... How did you forget it??? It's something your unlocking at least once per hour....

Wotanserver does not cost any money at all its totally free and it does have the cdma firmware on it. Maybe you should just check it out before down playing it

Yes it costs if you want to have it unlocked but that's not the case here flashing is 100% free for SE phones and if he wondering about "other" phones this is the wrong place!

I don't think you can use it because Sony apps use DRM keys but these keys are erased when you unlocked the BL

[Q] More game Incompatibility issues

I said in a previous thread about having some incompatibility issues with games on my stock rom, such as Fifa 13 amongst others.
Well I bought MC3 the other day but did not install it as I decided to unlock my bootloader so I could overclock as I had heard MC3 can lag a bit as standard.
I did it via the official Sony website but it semi bricked my phone, in the sense that it rebooted but would just go to a black screen with a notification bar showing a clock and nothing else. I managed to install DoomKernel and then installed Xperia NXT LE for gaming and the phone is working better than ever overclocked to 1.5ghz.
I have just gone to install MC3 and it is saying 'not compatible' now. I checked the build prop and everything is saying R800i as it should, pretty much the same as the Xperia NXT 1.3 build prop listed in the recent build prop thread. Is there anything specific I can change in this to fix this problem? Quite annoying that I bought this game and cannot play it now!!

Clear the cache and data of the google play and try again. That's normally how to fix this kind of problem. I'm guessing you know where to find it under settings > applications > manage.

Tried it loads of times. Cleared all caches, data, dalvik cache, rebooted several times. Still no luck. Doesn't make sense how android works sometimes!

Jeez...that is really odd...I'll see if I cant find something more...have you tried asking in the general android section?
Sent from my R800x using xda app-developers app

If you want a quick fix, just change your build.prop into a galaxy nexus.

lt26w how to...

hi, I'm a newbie and don't want to brick my phone. my model number is lt26w running 4.1.2 build no. 6,2,B.0.200 , since updating my phone it no longer picks up my sim, I want to root it but really have no idea where to start. Please could you help

I suggest using the repair tool found in the support zone
Ps its in the sony companion app (for your pc)
Take note again - if the issue is still there it could be a region problem
