[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mozza2k11:
Not much really. The same as any other case would. I had a £2.99 one off amazon and its a tiny bit thicker but it is drop proof upto a certain height so its worth it IMHO. Plus makes the phone feel (grip) and look 100x better.

The case comes with a screen protector & fitting kit (didnt use, removed the shatter proof protector and just left it as the glass) + a microfibre cloth. The case itself comes in 3 parts a hard polycarbonate shell on the bottom and top of the phone and a silicone layer (the black bit in the middle of the back of the case) it covers the inside of the bottom part of the case. Plus a silicone grip on the left hand side of the case for better grip when holding it normally.

The volume button rocker works even better than just using the normal rocker on the phone itself. Its easier to find since it sticks out a little. Same with the power button. The l + r triggers are the same the case guides your fingers to them :).

I am very happy with my purcahse unlike my older case. It came to around £22 (including first class international postage $5, express was $30 :eek: i dont think so)

I ordered it on the 17/7/11, it was posted on the 18/7/11 and recieved it on the 26/7/11 which is pretty fast considering it was only first class international.

I took the below pictures (they do not do it justice) of the case in the packaging but forgot to take pics of the case outside of the packaging lol :) Was too busy trying to get the anti shatter screen protector off :rolleyes:. The QR code on the case leads to this url, but they have not added the video yet.

Dont have any other decent cameras to take pics of the phone in it. But trust me if you decide to buy you will not regret it :D

Its even better than the otterbox case.

I am also thinking of buying an aegis case for my xperia play, although i have difficulity choosing a color lol.

I am thinking of either the red one or the green one. I know this is more a matter of opinion but i cant decide on the pictures given by the trident website.

Perhaps someone can post some more pictures of his/her case? That would be awesome, thanks :D

I've been loving this case, since it's a carbon fiber grip without the bulk, plus the silicon cases make the phone difficult to talk in and out of your pocket. Also, this skin still allows me to put the phone in the multimedia dock. Only problem is the side stickers are starting to curl up on the sides, so I just cut the edges off (like above the shoulder buttons).
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nysrin:
I am planning on getting a gel or hardcase, since the pouch I am using is not that handy (need to pull the phone out whenever I want to even look at my screen).

So I read somewhere that hardcases in general may damage your phone, because the pins that click onto the edges sort of pushes the two phone parts (screen + keypad part) away from each other, increasing the space between them, effectively loosening/widening the gap between them. Does this also apply to the current ones available for xperia play, and do the soft/gel/tpu cases have the same problem?

my question is, once applied both halfs of the case onto the xperia play, will it widen the space between the two parts of the phone?

Please if you have one of those snapon cases (whether soft/hard) let me know ;)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ammarcool12:
I've won a case on xperiablog.net :P

I'm waiting for it...

I'm hoping it doesn't turn out to be a some cheap ****ass cover :P

I think they said it was from mobilefun.co.uk
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] subcu1ture:
Oh you bstard.... I was going for that.

I was actually kind of interested to see what those cases were like because they are officially licensed to make accessories for the Xperia Play.

Officially made by Roxfit who I have the Xperia Play exective hard case for and it is amazing.

So it should be good then (:

Anyway they haven't sent it yet they've been saying that they don't have time :S

i've installed frx06 on my htc touch hd and i reach the android lock screen but am unable to unlock the phone, the phone responds- it vibrates when i touch the screen but then it just turns off! i always have to soft reset my phone!

ive tried formatting mem card, but nothing works.

ive used other androids on my phone and they have worked
[Touch HD General] Lothaen:
its not anything to do with the calibration is it?
[Touch HD General] mickeystar:
Well it didn’t ask me for calibration but it doesn’t answer the problem as my phone just turns off anyway.

can sum1 upload the ts calibration file for blackstone
[Touch HD General] mickeystar:
im reverting to froyo 2.2
[Touch HD General] gadar:
Calibration file

Dont revert :P, I like this build and it's verry stable, 12h+.

It asked me for the four points, but I noticed that the square points wont show up, just push each corner starting from upper left and down when it ask for it, it will ask if you dont have any calibration file.

or try with another calibration file...

Try this one from [TUT] FROYO x RED camera Install [UPDATE] post

[Touch HD General] hrk7474:
FRX06 froze up the first few times i tried it as well. Then i remembered a few tricks and went through a whole installation ritual:

- First boot without SIM card. Boots to HOME SCREEN, not lock screen. Will freeze after about a minute. Pull battery.

- Second boot without SIM card, with auto-install of Battery Booster, AppInstaller and ClockSync. Boots to LOCK SCREEN. Unlock and setup APN and save it. It won't show but it will be remebered. Setup any other settings if desired.

- Third boot WITH SIM. DONOT unlock before you see the name of your carrier on the screen. Unlock and go straight to APN settings to check if the dot is ticked.

If not ticked, tick it and prepare to have a frozen Blackstone once again.

Should be fine on fourth boot, and stay that way if you use the Battery Booster wake-up trick (see my signature) and ClockSync in high-precision-mode.

BTW: I find that pulling the battery for at least 5 seconds works better than soft-resetting.

EDIT: it seems there is a fix for the SOD issue in the form of a modified and more stable RIL by highlandsun. TRY IT OUT!!! works for lots of people, me included though i've only been using it for 24 hours. so far no SOD!
[Touch HD General] mickeystar:
sorry i reverted to froyo 2.2 although i did prefer froyo x,I’ll think about changing to froyo x but I cant deal with all the hassle, I just want a android where I can play the games. Also I’m o2 pay as you go but on the android it says im on bt cellnet (cant make calls or texts)?
[Touch HD General] gadar:
haha okey, So you just wanna play games :P...yeah froyo x has some short battery life and some bugs as you said. But tiad is doing some nice build right now, with sense.
[Touch HD General] mickeystar:
can u fix my service provider problem?

Im on o2 pay as you go but on all android versions it says im on bt cellnet and I cannot make calls/texts etc. I’ve tried going on settings and searching for networks but o2 is never there. Any help?
[Touch HD General] hrk7474:
I brainstormed a little on this (but i'm not Einstein so...) and i think it's a problem between the information on your SIM card and the info coming back from the network.

Have you had the SIM for a long time? O2 used to be BT's mobile division.

I would call my service provider, tell them i got a new Android phone (a Desire or something), explain the problem and ask for a new SIM card. :p
[Touch HD General] mickeystar:
i wont do that as im currently only using android to play games, im finiding my froyo 2.2 uses up too much battery for daily use! but thanks for the help

what android do u recommend?
[Touch HD General] hrk7474:
well if you only wanna play games why not get a PSP? :p

Try the GBX0A release.
[Touch HD General] mickeystar:
thanks

what is gbxoa- alpha version?
[Touch HD General] g3rm0:
You guessed right, it's GingerBread Xdandroid Alpha ;)
[Touch HD General] mickeystar:
so it isnt very stable?

whats the difference between froyo 2.2 and frx04, frx05?
[Touch HD General] g3rm0:
FRX are the Xdandroid Froyo 2.2 builds. FRX06 being the latest ;)

What version of android do you have (settings -> about phone)?

if you want to get to a point to run custom roms you can do the follow:

go to use this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=853209

Download : Stock EB13 Deodexed EXT4 + CW 3.0.0.6

and follow the instructions under that link.

One change to the instructions: uncheck f.reset time

You can then flash an EC05 ROM of your choice

After you do that go here for a flashable zip to upgrade your modem to EC05

I was just looking for a good deal on an extended battery on Amazon and came across this jewel...

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0042TY68C/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&m=A1N1UQZS4G6GV9

I have seen the price on this fluctuate all the way to $19.99 over the past week, and it is $5.99 right now...

It may not be Seidios, but for that kind of money... who cares?

I hope this helps people out there...
[EVO 4G Accessories] iitreatedii:
Not again...aren't there hundreds of threads relating to this same read that you added or am I being ignorant

Edit, these are the same ones on eBay from hong kong for like 6 dollars
[EVO 4G Accessories] kratos313:
its 5.99 Now
[EVO 4G Accessories] egzthunder1:
True, but the reason why I posted this is because you are buying this from Amazon and not from some other place in Hong Kong via eBay (read faster shipping.... I am getting mine in 4 days as opposed to 2 weeks+ from most vendors in Asia on eBay). Plus, I tend to like Amazon's customer protection a bit better than eBay's tbh.

You are correct also in the fact that there is the thread here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=857957), which talks about the 3500 mAh batteries (as well as a few others) but this one has digressed into a heated debate as to why Seidio wants to profit out of batteries, so posting in there would have been kinda useless.

Truth be told, I am not asking a question about the battery (which is the case for most of the threads that you are referring to), and if I would have had a question, I would have searched for an answer as I always do. I am announcing something that I hadn't seen posted here, which is special (limited time) price for a high capacity battery from a very much trusted online seller. But hey... what do I know... I am only one of the Site's admins...

PS. Next time, please don't flame.

5.99 + 6.98 for shipping :p
[EVO 4G Accessories] Kerflop:
It is back to $20 + shipping...
[EVO 4G Accessories] beezy69:
i got this same battery from amazon a few months ago for $25...it shipped really fast and it still last all day everyday, i never have to worry about bringing a charger with me or extra stock battery like before...last week i tried out my original stock battery because i havent used it since i rooted and thought maybe with my new rom and kernels it would last longer, it was dead in two hours, so i put this one back in...from when i wake up early in the morning til when i go to sleep late at night i still have anywhere between 50-75% battery left..i recommend it.

:cool:
[EVO 4G Accessories] nickb519:
thanks

egzthunder1-- thanks and i feel safe asking this question seeing your a mod.

beezy69 or thunder-- aparantly it is an ok battery and will do better then the 1500 that the phone comes with, but my question and please PM an anser not to make this thred full of junk, how much bigger is the battery door? i have an otter box impact series gel case it is a bit lose with the stock battery, do you think it will fit in this case? or do you know a case i should get?

thanks Nick
[EVO 4G Accessories] egzthunder1:
I have not gotten this yet, but the back covers for the 3500 mAh batteries I have seen pics of are not that much bigger... then again, until I don't see one live, I will not trust pics. More than likely, your current case will not work though as the battery is considerably larger to begin with.

Hope this helps.
[EVO 4G Accessories] nickb519:
thanks thunder, did you order one? I an hoping the case fits. As it is a bit lose. Who know again 12 bucks can not go wrong.
[EVO 4G Accessories] zillanilla:
Good reviews on Amazon, and I don't mind dropping 6 more bux to get it a little faster. Let's try it out!
[EVO 4G Accessories] samthewildone:
When buying this battery,

Make sure you guys do the 6 cycles (discharge / charge) or else you'll be screaming at your phone again!
[EVO 4G Accessories] egzthunder1:
I did and it should be here in about 4 days (I also ordered a HDMI cable for like $1.58) HDMWIn... here I go :D

Just a few bad reviews but the good ones far outweigh them... it could very well be because of the charge/discharge cycles...

+1 and thanks for the reminder :) Do you have one of these?
[EVO 4G Accessories] cheeb:
i'm assuming this means that after you fully charge it...DO NOT put it back on a charger until it is pretty much dead?? Then proceed to charging it back to full??? I would like clarity on this as my battery will be arriving today (which I bought off ebay for $11 from a retailer in Chicago) and it didn't mention that in the listing.
[EVO 4G Accessories] nickb519:
Ceeb thanks for asking the question I was going to ask. As normally I do not fully discharge my battery. But I am curious to hear why. Also everyone is saying use an external charger I have been using my old tp2 for that would that work as well with this battety?

Thunder is the cheap hdmi cable an amazon brand? I bought 3 amazon brand ones for my tuner, blu-ray and tv they worked better then the 60 buck one I had. And they were like 8 bucks.
[EVO 4G Accessories] STIDRIVER:
Glad you posted this.. Keeps me from having to make my own thread... Both my friend and I both purchased this battery.. And we both agree its awesome! Was $13 shipped when we got it. Battery lasts all day no problem, especially once I put Warm2.2 with an SBC undervolting kernel. Cover fits as good as stock and doesn't look obnoxious like the Seidio. It is still bulky, but not too bad.

As far as the charging/draining debate... I did 4 cycles from full to completely drained, and my friend did not (just topped off like normal). I have to say our batteries perform the same. So I'm not sure the charging/draining is necessary. I still say it can't hurt, so I would still do it. As far as the using an external charger, I would say that also isn't necessary. Difficult to get the extended to 100% with the stock ROM, because the phone stops charging once it hits 100% and then charges back up when it drops to 90% (as far as I know). So for that reason, the battery drops from 100% to 92% or so pretty quickly, but then drains slow after that. As I said, I switched to an SBC Kernel and it goes all the way to 100% (4.2Volts) and stays there. Then actually stays at the upper range for a long time, effectively giving you your 8% back.

Overall, this battery is awesome... Highly recommend!
[EVO 4G Accessories] peekeesh:
this is the same as china batt i bought from ebay. been using mine for 4 mos now and its still doing good. one full charge lasts like 1 day and 15 hours with 6-7 hours wake time.

I really do not want to mod this phone I have the Sprint warrenty. So it looks like it will still charge so I am excited for days I go and use it for social media pictures, and series radio streaming. Thought I have to figure out my msl so I can fix the streaming stuff.

I have yet gotten a reply from the vendor. Could it be the kernel that is messing up my battery? I have Netarchy's 4.3.4 more HAVS. The problem is that it charges 100%, my phone randomly shuts off then reboots with 0% battery again??

Any suggestions?
[EVO 4G Accessories] zillanilla:
Dude, experiment wit the kernals and see what you get. How long are you guys charging the phone for?
[EVO 4G Accessories] got_killed:
Okay, so far I've used Ziggy's, Netarchy's, and the Stock Kernels. All of them do not work. I charged it through the whole night and it still shuts my phone off and doesn't even get passed the Splash Screen.

I am beating the crap out of it so far and I like it... a lot. 1x (yes, you read right... 1x) on at all times, GPS on, Wifi... etc and my battery is keeping up with it...

Not bad at all. Best $12 bucks I've spent in a very long while.

[EVO 4G Accessories] oefootball_70:
It says it should be here in a couple days. I will write you a good review because I for one hit 10 oclock and have to start charging my phone all day in the work truck to keep it alive.

If it can last me a whole day that is saying something.
[EVO 4G Accessories] OneStepAhead:
I can confirm it doesn't fit with the Impact.
[EVO 4G Accessories] OneStepAhead:
they have said the battery shape would not be changing, but the battery door will.
[EVO 4G Accessories] egzthunder1:
Kinda hard to tell at this point. So far, my device status is the following:

21h 47 min since the last time it was plugged and 43% battery left. Mind you that I changed roms a couple of times in between and actions via Recovery usually kill your battery...

Mind you that I have not done the battery conditioning fully yet. The first time I charged it, I had about 18% left before I put it in the charger....

In case you missed it from my siggy... I am on Myn 2.2 RLS5 using netarchy 4.2.2 CFS HAVS More Agressive.

[EVO 4G Accessories] the_jon57:
I got one of these a week or two ago and it's been fantastic! I believe mine is at the least close to the 3500mAh capacity. I can keep 4G on all day with this thing. I started my day at 8AM with 4G on and just got home with it still on (and I also rebooted at some point which is often a big power sucker for me at least), and I'm at 40% still at almost 5PM. When I leave 4G off if lasts 2 days pretty easily, and this is all under pretty heavy use (games in my offtime, etc.).
[EVO 4G Accessories] nickb519:

[EVO 4G Accessories] nebenezer:
Just got mine :D, that was fast!

I don't have a dock charger so I'm using a powered-off EVO to charge it before first use. And I suppose I'll wipe batt stats just before I start using it.

It's bulkier than I expected but I'm sure I'll get used to it. I really feel spoiled by the EVO'S design, it's a beautiful device.
