Hi,
Suddenly my xperia play's screen blacked out when I tried to slide open my play. It happens everytime I try to slide open it.
My Xperia Play is about 1.5 yrs old now.
Anyone else have that type of problem? And if anyone have, pls help me out.
Thanks.

No problems here, try installing a fresh rom and see if that fixes your problem

Sorry, but i have tried everything including reinstalling the rom and kernel (ICS, GB, JB). But nothing works. I think that its not a software issue but a hardware issue, i tried searching on the internet and i think that it would be a problem of the sliding flex cable?
If you have any clues please let me know soon. I want my good old PLAY back.
Thanks.

It is most likely flex cable. Not still broken, but in specific position is losing contact. I wouldn't be suprised if your screen goes black and stay thay way (worst case scenario).
Try to find repair center or place where you can buy it before it tottaly broke.
You can minimize damage but not sliding gamepad some time.
Again, it's my opinion, so i might be wrong,..
That and TV Static-like display are classic signs of slider flex problem. Trust me, I had 3 broken slider flexes already.
Ok,
Thanks for the help. Now i got it, i just have to buy a new flex cable and replace it.
Thanks again.
I had the same problem with mine and it was the flex cable

After two years of use my Desire HD has developed some strange problems after I dropped it. The volume rocker does not work, the WiFi and bluetooth dont work and finally the strangest problem, that the keyboard does not come on when you want to input text for any App. The screen and touch input work without fault, scolling and selecting icons without problem. Making phone calls and internet connection seems to be OK as well.
I suspect I have damaged the motherboard or some other hardware, so before I buy a new phone I was wondering if anyone else had any of these problems and if so was it easily fixed.
Cheers

i knw this may sound strange but try flashing another ROM first,worth giving a try..
I did as you advised, which fixed the keyboard problem. The other faults are still evident so I guess I have damaged some hardware or cable. At least I can now use the phone to text message.
I will have to have someone take a look at the inside of the phone. Checked a diss amble video out and it looks complicated.

This is not a ROM-specific issue - it has been an irritating thing for me over the past year. It has happened on CM7/9/10, MIUI, any custom rom actually. Rather irritating when you wanna switch from gaming to texting etc (which is what I often do).
Just wondering if anyone found a fix. Thanks!

A broken hinge?

I have this issue as well. Whenever I open or close my play, it reboots. If I apply pressure as I slide out the gamepad, it works normally. Most likely a loose hinge or something.

Its not a software issue its a hardware issue for sure because my xperia play reboots when I close the slide on any rom. I'm not very tech savvy nor am I afraid of opening my xperia play I just don't know how the slide on the xperia play ticks. It can be number of things it can be slide, flex, the screen I have no clue. If someoone has a hardware fix on this please share.
Had this problem on stock rom but after flashing cola it's yet to happen.
Maybe I got lucky, IDK, it might be worth a try if it's bothering you too much.
There is a contact problem with your battery and the phone

This is not from your Rom. It is from your battery. Remove the battery use a paper to make it more firm as you put the battery inside the phone. I had the same problem but now I can slide my xperia PLAY open as hard and fast as u want without it rebooting.
HIT THANKS IF THIS HELPED

That doesn't work for me. I had to open my xperia play and replace the flex cable and now no reboots. The flex cable on my xperia play has alot of wear and tear in it.
I gave my R800at to my brother and today it begin to reboot when sliding in or out, it was a little lose, but not much.
I opened it, the flex cable seemed to be secure so I don't know specifically what caused it to reboot. But I tried to secure all the connections and tighten all the screws in the phone and it fixed the problem. No doubt I feel the problem will reoccur again in the future. I does seem sliding out the gamepad slowly and with some pressure down help.
To open the phone you need to use a Torque screw driver with the size "T5", you can get it at Lowe or Home Depot.
Hello everybody,
my girlfriend have an a Sony xperia s and for awhile when she having a phone call
and put the phone against her ear the screen does not turning off the buttons are been pressed
by her cheek, this causes a lot of embarrassment when the call is disconnected in the middle of an important call,
most of the time the button just pressed and the other side just hearing an annoying tone.
this is annoying and i don't know how to help her with that.
is there any good solution for this problem?
i tried to look for this problem in the search engine of this forum
and all i found was the same problem but in HTC phone that runs Windows Mobile, that didn't helping me...
thanks for anyone who can help me with that...
Try rebooting/resetting.
If problem persists then the proximity sensor may be faulty. Take it to Sony, coz it's a hardware problem.

Perhaps her phone is dirty, so the sensor won't work.. You know women, they don't care about technology.
Clean the screen left next to the Sony logo real good
My first opinion is hardware issue. It can be said that the proximity sensor is faulty. My second one is software. maybe she install a program that uses or control the proxomity switch that causes it to malfunction having a conflict with other programs. My third is that, as early as possible if its hardware issue, go now to sony service center for them to figure it out, use your warranty card, that may cause no additional problem right? Smile!
You could try re flash the firmware with flashtool

i think that maybe it is an hardware issue,
she don't installing any application just by her self, and she don't have many apps.
i know almost every app on her phone (cause i have them also on my SGS4) and i don't think that the apps are the problem.
but i will look for an app problem anyway just to be sure before using the warranty.
thank you guys...
UPDATE:
i've checked the phone sensor with the new app cpu-z and the app shows that the sensor is working and identifying my hand
when i covering it.
but still there is the problem that the screen does not turn off when she's holding the phone against her ear,
i've watched while she's talking in the phone and she's holding it as it should be.
but as i see the problem is not happening in every phone call but it is happening a lot.
any idea how to solve this problem?
Hi, Im new to the forum but used roms for another device in the past.
I wasnt able to find information regarding to this trough days, my phone touchscreen stops working randomly on stock rom [15.1.c.1.17], have anyone had this problem? Is it sw or hw related?
Thanks, phone is awesome when the ts works but this is driving me crazy... thanks
If you haven't modify the software then it must be hardware related.
What modifications did you do? Did it have the problem from the start(when you bought it)?

If it doesn't happen under specific conditions (for instance, while playing the game, or during the call), it is most likely hardware related, my best bet is that screen digitizer is either faulty or not connected properly to the motherboard. Have you dropped/spilled something on your phone? If not, you should return your phone for a warranty repair.
Its randomly occuring, its fixed after reboot or it will work itself again after a while, sometimes a couple of minutes others a couple hours, phone is new, bough on jan 17. Havent dropped it or spilled anything on it... problem is I updated from stock rom from the provider to an official by sony and dont have a backup of it :/.
Update to the newest version ends in 2.8 that's the newest one see if that helps

thanks for the fast replies
I have installed gennext rom and it worked perfectly. But recently I experienced some problems in touch sensitivity. For example, if i touch and hold letter 'e' on my keyboard to enter number 3, it will type bunch of letter e's (eeeeee). I factory reset and installed the rom again. And touch was back to normal. But after few days problem came back. Is this a common problem or am I the only one having it? Please help
i'm having the same problem
I tought was the only one
I think it'a memory issue. Greenify nor cleanmaster didn't help
[UPDATE] It's weird but this touch problem goes away when I remove the back cover. I don't know how this is happening. Anyone know how to get rid of this?

Flip Cover some time create this issue & the charger is also one of the reason.
my problem solved after changing the flip cover.
May be hardware or software problem.
As much i know when sometimes during charging if voltage is fluctuating or something u get screen problem, but as soon as u remove from charging it gets alright,
For u issue might be with the screen so u can test that by trying other rom if it works on other than problem is in software ( this is a good dignostic method) every mobile have a dignostic ussd umber try that and in that check screen testing so u may confirm via that too..I hope it was helpful
Change your swollen battery.
Thats the reason of problem of touch screen.
That was my problem after change battery everithing is normal.
Battery presure the back of phone.
That may be the reason. Swollen battery, why didn't I think of that earlier
