I'm very sorry to triple-post it. I do need some help here, and if i couldnt manage to fix this, i'm going to ask for a refund.
I love this phone so much, but i really appreciate music, and if the phone dont fullfill the task, its not of use to me
I just bought this phone and albeit its awesomeness, i've been experiencing some sound issues.
When I listen to music, some of them in random parts just stutter for a fraction of second. Its not much but happens quite a lot and that annoys me. It happens with connected music player and winamp.
I've just formatted the SD card and it still stutters. Swapped my 8gb card with my brother's 2gb one and it keeps stuttering. I'm afraid the problem is the phone...;
I dont know what to do...
Install PowerAMP and check if the problem goes away
Argen2Stone fixed that problem for me. =)

Also check whether you've got the latest software update; 2.2 indeed has this issue, they addressed it with 2.2.2
I used to have this problem in the past, and one day I found it in surprise that it fixed itself automaticly, maybe several days before......
And now the only problem for me is that I can't resort my playlists through my stock music player......

Thanks for the responses, guys.
Aragorn, yes, poweramp fixed this.
w0ndersp00n, yes it's on 2.2, how do i update it?
dangpzanco, if upgrading to 2.2 doesnt work, i'll give argen2stone a chance.

Up to now, I have seen only one series of moto's ROM is in system version of 2.2.2. Those ROM are produced for ME722, which is milestone2's Chinese version. And its stock language can be set to English.

Which one would you guys recommend?
Just one more thing, even if I update, the touchscreen bug will not be fixed?
Cause that's a serious issue and if it cant be fixed its better for me to return the cellphone and buy a Galaxy S.
Can you help choose?
Depends on your location (to get a working cellphone signal at your country), but flash 2.2.2 with RSD Lite 4.8+:
Argentina/Movistar is for Latin America.
UK is for Europe.
Or flash Brazil 2.2 and apply Argen2Stone 1.9 (for 2.0 you'll need Argentina/Movistar SBF)
Another thing/offtopic:
I just got Defy's bootmenu working here!
Just unninstall Droid 2 Bootstrapper, delete /system/bin/hijack, logwrapper and rename logwrapper.bin --> logwrapper.
Then install Defy 2nd-init Recovery Installer from Market and follow instructions from the app. (Install the stable)
It is a more elegant way to get into recovery/doing nandroids.

currently, I think that the MILS2_U6_2.2.16 ROM has successfully solved the touching problems, but I still recommend galaxy s, because milestone2's GPU is much more weaker than galaxy s', and motoblur sometimes slows down your system.

Thank you all, guys but I'm going to send it back. Loved the phone but i cant live with this feeling of wrong purchase. Maybe i'll regret my decision later...
I'm going to get a Galaxy S and I wish it doesnt have many problems...
I hope you understand my point.
I've also recently been suffering with a Music playback issue on my Milestone 2. Basically, when I play ANY Song, it will play halfway or a quarter of the way through, and then just stop playing. The Music player will still be in the Notifications Bar, but when clicked just bring me back to the Music Library. I'm downloading this PowerAMP App now, to see if this solves the problem, but I doubt it will.
So can any1 please guide me or give me solution to this plz? Thanks in advance
It actually has solved the problem, surprisingly, so thanks A LOT 2 "AragornPE" for suggestin' this app. Greatly appreciated

Yep. If it doesnt work, try alternatives. PowerAMP is the best!
I actually spoke 2 quickly, 'cause it seemed 2 have worked and solved the problem, but it still does stop Music playback half and quarter of da way through songs. Randomly. Whether the headphones r in or not.
Wondering if any1 else is having da same problem, and how/if they've solved it? My Milestone 2 is rooted by da way, and I'm sure that is da cause of the problem.

Updated sucessfully to Froyo! Everything runs great.... Except that I can't connect to the market.

and, this solution:

without success. The second one caused a boot loop and I had to re-flash .604 via SBF/RSD.
Anyone have any suggestions or a fix for the DroidX?
Both of those links were for the droid. Im have the same issue though.

I was aware that they were for the Droid... I was just hoping that they would work for the DX.... although after looking at the build.prop files I now realize that was a REALLY STUPID NOOB error.
I guess I was hoping that the .zip's contained some code that would change a setting and not RR the whole file.
If someone knows what setting needs to be changed please let me know. For now, I'll have to go back to 2.1 if I can't get the market.
I don't think its an X on Froyo issue, Markets not working on my EVO and X
Google server error?
Other Android users(non-Droid X Froyo users) have reported the same issue in another forum. Seems to be a "Google side" error. Probably just maintenance because of all the Froyo releases this month.

Can't install update now so, can you please, share with us your experience. Does screen sensor works better?
Sent from my MotoA953 using XDA App
Just downloaded this.
As a heads up:
The UK update is identical to the one that leaked on here a few days ago.
Compared the hashes for the extracted sbfs for both the leak and the one MSU downloads.
.sbf (not .sbf.gz):
CRC32: 7617F5CE
MD5: 94E43968E736D1A89767170FCFB88F42
SHA-1: 3B83020E6E6731ECA74984BC7EA72677FD1AD169
I didn't have a chance to get at the gzipped sbf before Moto software update extracted it, but I would assume it matched the leak too.
Regardless, the underlying data matches.
As far as experience goes, haven't flashed back to UK 2.2.2 again yet, but before it rebooted a lot. I have a feeling this was down to Milestone Overclock not being fully compatible with the newer version. I also know that the wifi STILL cut out for me.
Performance was better overall, and I think it squashed the double typing bug with hw keyboard.

Quite possibly true - I had only tested it for a little while. As soon as the wifi cut out I swore and bought a HTC Desire Z.
Indentical to the previously leaked 2.2.2 SBF?

I don't know how many button you have on your headphones.
I was referring to the headphones that came with the phone.
They have a hidden button next to the microphone.
That button allows you to pick up and end a call.
It could also be used to pause and unpause music playback.
Since the update I can't pause and unpause music playback using that button anymore in the preinstalled media player. Can anybody confirm this?
Picking up calls still works, though and if I install another media player (e.g. music mod), I can pause and unpause music playback with the headphone button in those players.
I hope this makes more sense now.

I bought my X'PLAY (Android 2.3.2 build number .184) when i travelled to HK few weeks ago since it hasn't reached my country till now..
i got problem with my PLAY, everytime after playing games (xperia play ones especially) for about 10 - 15 mins it crash the android system.. the screen freeze, nothing happened when touching it.. touchpad game n the power button as well did not function. Then i flashed my firware using SEUS, still could not solve the problem. I have to remove the battery to make everything normal again.
Few days later I flashed n changed my firmware to UK region via wotanserver.com (android 2.3.2 build number .184).. this time it helped a bit, the screen did not freeze anymore after playing games for about 15 mins but the touchpad game n the power button issues still occur.. i could not shut down my phone but the touch screen could function well.. Also sd-card could not be recognized by computer when i connected it. Again, i have to remove the battery to make everything works normal
After android 2.3.3 released, i updated my PLAY via SEUS hoping it would fix my problems.. but it even get worse, screen freeze.. touchpad game n power button did not function just like the very first time.
No choice, have to remove the battery to make it normal again.
Now i downgrade to 2.3.2 UK region using flashtool.. at least the screen still work after playing games for hours, but have to remove the battery to make the sd card worked when connected to computer.
Anyone with the same issues? i got frustated... Help guys!!
I had the exact same problem with my old play. You got a defective play... The problem is isolated and few since no one else has that issue. With me it was only when running intense games like rainbow 6 and other hd games. I suggest you return it for another asap... My carrier (rogers) sent me a new one. If you don't have warranty... Since you did get it in hk... I suggest you get a quickboot App from the market so you can reboot it without taking out the battery.

Thanks for the advice.. i installed the quickboot already, but it need root access.. meanwhile my PLAY has not been rooted. I ever tried to root with gingerbreak in the past but always failed.
Root it when it is the generic uk 2.3.2. And then upgrade it to 2.3.3 what problems were you having with rooting
Sent from my R800a using XDA App
Finally successful rooting my PLAY after much... much effort working on it. I don't think i want to update it to 2.3.3 since my screen will get freeze as a result of playing games too long.. Better use the current 2.3.2, my screen will still work (sometimes it happens to me a thought; is it a firmware issue or faulty device issue why my PLAY screen will get freeze after playing games if i use other firmware exclude 2.3.2).
Anyway really appreciate for the info about quickboot app, now i don't need to remove my battery anymore Thanks bro
I'm pretty sure it's your device that is faulty.. I'm not 100 percent sure but I believe it is overheating when you run games that require more power. That is why all the functions on the phone stops working. Should really send it to sony to repair or replace if possible.

On my new play that they replaced I have not ran into that problem at all... I played rainbow 6 for 6to7 hrs straight with no problems...

Got to be patient to get my PLAY repaired in sony service center for it hasn't been launched in my country yet. Rumor says a month or two later the PLAY will launched here
You should contact the person who sold it to you... I don't think it would be under warranty in the country that you are in.

How was I supposed to know?
I updated because it improved alot of things (faster boot up,more stable wifi connection and improved battery,plus the facebook inside xperia looked neat)
have you flashed your phone with a different image or is it an official SE update? i did the official update to 2.3.3 and had Rainbow 6 before and it worked perfectly after aswell. now i have flashed my phone with a different image with rooted 2.3.3 and now it force closes as soon as i click it.(in my case i think its because the Playstation app to download the games is not there, making the phone think i dont have it maybe because lets golf 2 is the same and i bought them straight off the xperia games app)
Yea I got the same problem mine just force closes right away it makes no sense

To start this off, I want to say that this is an awesome community full of great people willing to help others. It takes this sort of open source sharing to come together for the greater good. That is why I want to make a thread to document my experiences so that it may help others and myself.
As of yesterday, I started using froyo 2.2.2 by joshkoss. This update is probably the best of all of them and I like it much better than 2.2.1, which is what I previously had installed. Having said that, there are still some problems, which I almost find enjoyable to discover how to fix.
Throughout most of my updates, my GPS has been slow to connect. Finally on 2.2.2 it is impossible to establish a connection and everytime I turn on GPS it always asks me to 'Accept' or 'Cancel' the agreement. I've never had this happen before. Anyone know what to do about that?
Beyond this issue, I wanted to try this fix by ciscogee. I have gotten all the way to the point on ADB tools that in my cmd prompt I can type 'adb devices' to show me my devices serial number. For me, it ends there. As soon as I can figure out how to do this fix step by step for a beginner I will type it out in this thread. I am using Android SDK.
Another problem with this 2.2.2 update is that my banking app no longer works and it force closes right after start up. Then when I try to send a report, that also force closes. It worked on 2.2.1 so Im sure it has something to do with it.
So as of right now this is where I'm at. I hope I can help some people out with their Continuum. I just dont have the detailed knowledge of the inner workings to really bring something to the table, but I hope to at least help someone else out and learn something in the process.
My Wells Fargo app quit working when I switched over to EC07 and I haven't been able to pinpoint what the problem is. I posted my problems in another thread, but basically I had several apps that were FCing when I tried to use them. I did logcat on them, and based on the errors I got from there, I think is has something to do with the apps trying to access data either over 3G or wifi.
Never got any further than that though.
That's weird. Did you have problems reporting the failure? Ill have to try out that log app and see what I can find out. Hopefully ill have something later today.

One thing I did notice though, was that the browser would let me surf the web just fine. It was when I tried to log into any account; Wells Fargo, Google, etc.,that it would FC. Don't know if that means anything or not. Wonder if it is the same reason some banking apps aren't working. Could it have something to do with using secure connections?
Just a thought.

Ok, after reading some old posts, I think I may have found a connection with the FC issues and certain apps. It seems that there were alot less FC problems when using the EC03 baseband vs. the EC06 baseband.
Does anyone know what the differences are between the two?
I've said it before, but; I don't know much about programming, language, kernals, etc. but I can see patterns. And what I have seen is that most of the apps with FC problems are trying to access network data, and alot of those seem to be secure connections (such as banking apps). Someone said before that it is hard to know what the real problem is because everyone uses different apps, but I have seen the same apps listed as causing problems with several different users here over and over again. So that makes me think that there is an underlying problem causing these issues.
Like I said, I don't know much, but this seems like the problem to me, and if these clues make something, somewhere, inside someone's brain click that actually does know something about this, then maybe I helped a little bit.
