Hey guys, I was hoping I would'nt have to do this but i'm at a loss now.
I own the blue xperia play 4g phone and currently using it with straight talk service with their unlocked sim. Everything was fine until I decided to start trying out custom roms.
No matter what I tried, I could get them to load, work , function ect BUT I had weird issues where people could not hear me for the 1st call, but if I called them right back they could. It just seemed to be random and I could'nt put my finger on it.
So I flashed back to the stock 2.3.3 R800AT firmware, and then updated thru their Sony patch they made me do on the phone...and everything was fine again.
Well I got adventurous again, and UNLOCKED my bootloader. So NOW....after doing custom roms, I CANNOT reload my old R800at 2.3.3 firmware and get the OFFICIAL update from them. So i'm stuck with an upgradeable working 2.3.3 (this is the 2.3.3 before the update they put out, I know it does'nt go to 2.3.4. but its some kinda 2.3.3 update) with NO further updates.
So after tons of research i'm HOPING its the baseband I need ??? I dont know what else to do. Only other option is if some kind soul wants to send me over their AT&T r800AT 2.3.3 UPDATED firmware I'll just go back to stock but i'd prefer to keep using my custom roms!!!
***maybe if someone who has the blue xperia play 4g version, would post the "baseband" version they see on their phone, even that would help!!!***
Any help would be great and more than appreciated.
God bless and thanks guys,
Jason

Oh my friend, you are in the same boat as me. xD
All you need to do is get the stock 2.3.3 AT&T firmware, But you can also use r800i firmwares and update to 2.3.4 with the latest firmware.
Theres a thread somewhere containing the firmware, if not you can find it on google.
(Which is what im doing right now with straight talk) only negative thing I see is so far H instead of H+.

If alejandrissimo unlocked your phone you should have OTA updates. If you unlocked it with another method then im not sure what to tell you, gotta find the updated FTF files.
Guys good news here
I was correct in thinking it was the baseband on our phone that is causing the problem. I think its due to the fact we are 4g rather than 3g.
So how did i fix this problem??? Simple. I was able to use the doomkernel v13 (any seem to work), actually install the rom of choice, (i'm using Jokawild 2.5), and then downloaded/installed baseband file -36.
I also installed the -36 libs package that was somewhere posted on here its the new .386 version.
Everything is working now and i'm happy. Going to save the baseband/lib files so i have them forever incase something happens.
Take care, God bless and thank you for your input/time. I could'nt go another day with them stock at&t roms!!!!

Hello hello, I need your help. I've got the generic North Am. 2.3.4 (.42) and I'm having this problem. I've got an unlocked bootloader and I want to install the baseband file. Can I do that with a generic rom? What is the process for installing a baseband file and libs package? Where can I get these files? Thanks.

I think I have the same or a similar problem. I frequently encounter a similar situation where it could take 10+ seconds before the other person can hear me speak, but I can hear them the whole time. By now most of my friends and family know how to deal with it, but before they would just hang up on me. Then they could hear me if I called them. If I reboot the phone, it fixes it for a while, but then it comes back after some time and takes another reboot to resolve.
My phone is a SIM unlocked, bootloader locked Xperia Play R800a model from last year's Google I/O. It uses the same frequencies as AT&T for 3G and 2G and I'm using it on AT&T as well. I have the Generic North America 4.0.2.A.0.42 (Android 2.3.4) ROM installed, and it has Baseband 8x55A-AAABQMAZM-203028D-56.
I found a separate thread with the -36 Baseband here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1469473
I'm considering flashing this over my current -56 Baseband to see if it improves the situation. As I recall, I never had this sort of trouble when I first got the phone. It's really only been since I updated to Firmware .42 that I've had these problems. Is it safe to do this?
Thanks!

I wanted to add that on Friday I installed the -36 baseband with mine and I'm getting 4G+ (I hit 12MBs at mobilespeedtest.com). And my calls have stopped being cut off.

Awesome! That's also funny because I also installed the -36 baseband last night. So far, so good. Calls and data both work as normal. I'll need to do more testing to be sure whether it fixed my problem or not.
Now did you just install the baseband or did you also flash or push the libs to it as well? All I did was use Flashtool to flash the baseband .ftf file.
I have an At&t version of the Xperia Play (R800at). I have the phone rooted but the bootloader is still locked. I hate the bloated ROM that At&t has and wanted to flash a new one. I really like the Cola rom but it does not work on At&t. Is there a ROM I can flash on the stock At&t kernal that does not have all the bloat? I really just use the phone for calls, texting and games (mostly emulators). Can I go to another stock ROM? I would like 2.3.3 so I can run all of my converted PS1 games, I really don't want to reconvert them for 2.3.4. I do not know what info from my phone I would need to figure out what ROM to download and use. Any information would be greatly appriciated.
I have the same thing except my bootloader is unlocked. I've tried many of the roms on here myself but the baseband from AT&T doesn't give me the "can hear the other person but they cant hear me half the time" problem from the stock rom and I can get 4G on it whereas the other roms do not. Is there any roms that use the baseband from AT&T and get rid of the bloat or is there one that can just use the baseband from the stock rom? I used to have a Galaxy I so not being able to flash different basebands all the time is new to me.
--edit---
After poking around and ignoring some things different stuff said, I was able to get cyanogenmod 7.2 (freexperia) on my phone and I then installed the -36 baseband and libs after and everything appears to be working good so far. Going to test a bit with phone calls yet, but as long as I can get online and my phone calls arent messed up this is exactly what I wanted because I love cyanogenmod, I just know it kept saying I needed to have a specific set up but that never worked for me with the baseband, I just went for it and I think the problem I always had was not having the lib files to upload after flashing cyan

Sorry, don't mean to hijack the topic, but could you describe the issue where you can hear the other person but they can't hear you a little more? I seem to frequently encounter a similar situation where it could take 10+ seconds before the other person can hear me speak, but I can hear them the whole time. By now most of my friends and family know how to deal with it, but before they would just hang up on me.

The phone itself is a SIM unlocked, bootloader locked R800a model from last year's Google I/O. It uses the same frequencies as AT&T for 3G and 2G and I'm using it on AT&T as well. I have the Generic North America 4.0.2.A.0.42 (Android 2.3.4) ROM installed, but it has Baseband 8x55A-AAABQMAZM-203028D-56 and not -36. Is -36 the best to use with AT&T?
same phone
I have the exact same phone and I had the exact same problem. TrueAncestor v. 1.4 worked wonders. It was easy to do, it was nicely themed, and the bloatware is all gone! I really recommend.
Here is a list of ftf files: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1589399
Try flashing a Generic, I dont know how the R800at response to generic R800i, but i have a R800a that has no issues when flashing it with R800i, also i think you could clean the bloatweare with Flashtool, might want to try it.
Last night I installed the -36 baseband from this topic:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1469473
So far, so good. Calls and data both work as normal. I'll need to do more testing to be sure whether it fixed my problem or not.
I should also note that all I did was use Flashtool to flash the baseband .ftf file over top of my already installed North American Generic 4.0.2.A.0.42 that I got from this topic:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1326459
There's another topic on this same thing and it sounds like using the -36 baseband with the .42 firmware is a good way to go for the Xperia Play 4G (R800at). You can find that one here:

Hello everyone.
Since this is the first post, I can't post this into the development forums.
A couple months ago I flashed 2.3.4 North America Generic firmware image from Sony Ericsson onto my phone on my AT&T Xperia Play. It was a total replacement of the phone's firmware, and I set everything up as I would a new phone.
One problem I overcame was that the APN list was erased, which I recreated with settings posted in this forum.
Lately, the problem I've been having is that when I make or receive a call, the other person can't hear my voice. Dial tones work, but other than that it's dead air. The more interesting part is that when I hang up and re-call, they can hear me fine.
This problem is getting increasingly worse too, before it was limited to occasional calls, now it's doing it almost every time and even with subsequent calls.
I've tried restarting the phone (power off, power on), but it has not solved this problem. I'm not sure I want to reflash the phone from scratch again, but I still have all the images my phone had.
My flashing history is the following:
ATT 3.0.1.B.0.270 (purchased with the phone 9.18.2011)
ATT 3.0.1.B.0.289 (OTA flash when ATT released it)
ATT 3.0.1.B.0.270 (using flashtool so I could root and back up apps)
SE NA Gen 4.0.2.A.0.42 (using flashtool and did complete wipe/replacement)
I'm currently running the following:
Android: 2.3.4
Baseband: 8x55A-AAABQMAZM-203028D-56
Kernel: 2.6.32.9-perf [email protected] #1
Build 4.0.2.A.0.42
Can I please get some help in getting my microphone working?
Thank youi!

Ive been having this problem myself. Seems to only happen when I have a custom rom going. Any time I reflash to stock the issue goes away. It seems like it may be related to Basebands but i dont know... =[
My phones bootloaders are unlocked and Im currently using cm9 with a free xperia kernal
bump.
I'd really like an answer on this one, it's beginning to affect my professional life and it's hard to tell clients "if you don't hear me, call again."
moreover, if it is the baseband, will mixing the north america 2.3.4 generic image and the att 2.3.3 baseband brick/crash the phone?
Try another ftf with higher baseband. 64 preferably.

Sdojoin
Thanks for the tip, it looks like it's having the same problem with the updated baseband.
Flashed Firmware R800i 4.0.2.A.0.62 (I did check that it was compatible with ATT)
Baseband 8x55A-AAABQMAZM203028D-64
Please let me know what we can do to get this solved. It's frustrating to be on hold for a half hour only to find that the microphone isn't working, and you have to redial and start again.

Are you able to switch the network type to wcdma only?
There was no option of changing network type in Setting
So I used the code *#*#4636#*#* and change it to GSM only, WCDMA
But it some times work for 5 to 10 minutes and after that even though my mobile shows full signal bar but i'm neither im able to receive call/sms nor able to send.

I'm not sure but maybe you could try to run an OTA update to update the ROM, bootloader, and modem to KK.

If you are running a stock ROM, connect to wifi, go to settings about software updates.

Hello. I hope you can help me resolve some issues...
I have the samsung sgh-i747m version. I originally had it rooted on stock 4.4.2 and working with a knowroaming sim. The knowroaming sim would either connect to Rogers, Telus or Bell depending on the signal strength. Mainly Bell in my case. Anyways, I use the sim for whatsapp and it was giving me issues. Namely, notifications would stop working after the phone sits for a while. I read that it might be a problem with 4.4.2 so I decided to update it to 6.0.1. Reason I chose 6.0.1 is because the guide uses the same recovery as I do (CWM) and I'm guessing that since most development has moved on to 7.1, 6.0.1 should be stable?
Anyway, I flashed the ROM and everything seems to work fine except my knowroaming sim no longer works. In other words, it doesn't connect to any network Rogers, Telus, or Bell. For some reason, when I go search for networks, it always says no networks found. So I popped in my Telus sim from my other phone and it connected to the network fine but again, searching for networks shows no networks. I think knowroaming doesn't connect because it can't find any networks either. So I spent some hours looking to see what the problem is and some of the jargon is starting to confuse me and making me hate Samsung for the things they do.
I managed to download an app called Phone Info *Samsung* and I will list the information here and maybe you can tell me what is going on:
If you have any suggestions on what I should do to get the network providers showing up, then I'm all ears. If updating to a 7.1.2 rom will fix this issue, I'll gladly do it.
Thanks.
Nobody?
Replace Cwm with twrp and try a different custom ROM?
I tried the octa-m rom 7.1.2 and still the same thing. I'm going to go back to stock and try again.
