they had to send my phone to delhi and public holidays were in middle so it took long and generally for replacement it takes a week.
No they dont give any phone to use during that period.

One last question.. It's the replaced phone brand new,Sealed, or does it look like refurbished.. Hatred many people say that Sony replaces with the refurbished one

If changing software doesn't fix an issue it's usually hardware which you can't change. If you're still under warranty then try to get it repaired/replaced.

If you have warranty on your phone, then you can just replace your phone by this similar (call to the Sony support about your wishes) or repaired.
In other situations you don't have other ways to repair or get same but newer.
My phone is out of warranty the warranty expirwd on 10/04/2013 so great.....
But if anybody has a good supplier for parts of this phone, then let me know... I can replace, but it is about 100$...

[SOLVED][Q] Flex cable that looses contact?

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 )

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)

Hi,
I had to send my p6 back to the service centre because the wlan drops the front camera does not work and a gps does not get fix just after restart.
I phoned them and I had to pay £7 to send the phone even I have manufactuer warranty on it.
This is so ....
Cannot find words...

Did you root your device? This may void yr warranty.
I think by law you must/have to take the device back to the place you brought it from. And they take care for the transportation to the service. Sending it by courier is special service, and is not covered by the seller. Unless he is a giant like LG, which Huawei is not outside China. And the seller most likely is not Huawei itself, but some middleman ?
Where did you buy from phone from, and where did you friend get his LG ?
I have huawei 3 days service. They'll pick my device up for free and deliver it back to me in 3 days.
