Hello. I bought about eight months Gvshymv. You're just a tiny spot of white on black LCD door. But other colors right door. This is a very small point, I think it's a pixel. I want to ask is there a way to fix it?
No, send it while you have warranty

Bootloader unlock my phone so my phone is out of warranty
You'll have to buy a new screen and install it to get rid of that faulty pixel

There is no way to repair the dead pixels? :crying:
No. Better leave it as it i.

Hello guys. I have problem with this light at bottom of screen, for long as I have my phone (cca 1 year). Sometimes it's seems to getting worst. Is this only at my advice, or this is global problem on Xperia S? Is there any solution for fix it? For which reason there is white line at bottom of screen? Thanx you all for every reply.
It is not something new... It is like that on most phones.. Even my Nokia has it.. It is a LCD fault. Due to lights in the edges

Hi,
Anyone know why the problem with my play? About 2 days ago, my Xperia Play started blanking outbwhen sliding out the gamepad and sliding it back. After a while, a few seconds, the phone screen comes back as usual... Someone tell me what I could do or how to fix it? Need this to last till end October..

think you need a new flex cable, you can buy one eBay for about £8 but make sure you buy the tool also to open your phone. You will need to try and find someone to open your phone up for you or carefully do it yourself and follow a tut on YouTube as you can mess your phone up even more like I have

Hello guys, so after a year of life my Xperia Play seems to have problems.
Here a video:
http://tinypic.com/r/2iikbrp/5
I guess it is the flex cable, but I dunno if it does this because it is starting damaging, or because it looses contact (and maybe doesn't need a replace, but just a look into where it looses contact and thus I should apply there something that keeps it in place).
What do you think guys?

Few other users reported same problem, and it was flex cable fault.
You better get another flex slider cable before it totally looses contact (and thus can be replaced in hour or two, if you know how)
If you don't know how to replace, ask around where you can repair it, so it doesn't suprise you when fail completelly

I'm searching for a new flex cable right now, but, well, I live in Italy, where it's impossible to get even a cover
I'll try to order something from the States or UK, but yeah, it'd take something like 20 days
I hope I get it fixed, i love this phone D:

I was lucky when my flex cable broke (only touchscreen didn't work) and replacement came two days later (found some online shop localy)
Just be gentle to your Play in next 20 days
Btw, any repair shop around you, or is it too expensive?

Rear camera is attached motherboard on it's own flex cable. Did you take it off when opening your Play? If yes, then probably you didn't put it back properly. Or maybe it missplaced.
Try opening again (just motherboard part and see is flex from camera is loose or something

Unless you drop your Play hard, it should work normally. If it's taking picture normally, maybe it's software problem.
On what rom and kernel you are now? Maybe, to test, make backup and flash stock ftf, to see is it sofware problem (i think i don't need to explain to you how to do that )

Lol I've just "logcatted" and so I saw an error regarding framerates.
Then I remembered what I've done something like a week ago: modified the media_profiles file located into system/etc for trying to record at 60fps LOL
Such a stupid problem, sorry Bakisha xD

No problem
When xou open your Play you'll se that flex is connected to screen, digitizer, front buttons, front camera, ALS and proximity sensor so all problems regarding those could Be actually flex problem.
Feel free to ask if you need help when you decide to open your Play.
Good luck

Just be carefull, especially when assembling it back. For me, it took me 3 hours, two coffee, half pack of cigarets (and lot of gossips :silly: , since i did it at friends place)
If you can, take pics while dissasembling (just in case)
