I recently bought this keyboard(unfortunately I haven't yet read this thread...).

Did you receive the refund? Maybe the keyboard didn't work with android but it works with windows mobile?...I hope...I'll verify when I 'll receive it.

I.ve bought a havit 1003bt bluetooth keyboard and while it connects fine and shows as an HID keyboard ,I can only enter the pairing code with the keyboard ,then it pairs and that's it ,I can't type with it in any app.

Anyone has an Idea as to why it works only for the.pairing part?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] -Tj-:
Sorry for the long-overdue reply. I never received a refund. The last response I got was "what is your PayPal invoice number so we can issue a refund," and after two emails sent to them they have not yet sent any refund or responses.

The issue with the keyboard may have been a bad key cluster or something because only one of the folding sections was affected. This happened regardless of it being paired with my Android phone or my laptop.

I've since bought a Logitech Tablet Keyboard for Android 3.0+ and haven't looked back. It's not foldable but it's by far the best quality portable keyboard I've tried. It's solid, comes with a case (convertable to a stand), and has all the right buttons for Android. One of the buttons (Home, I think) didn't work under Gingerbread, but worked fine in ICS. I tried a Targus Bluetooth keyboard for iPad and Android before the Logitech, but it had a glaring issue with the placement of the Delete and Backspace keys and I took it back after less than a few minutes of use. The Jorno I mentioned has since been cancelled, too.

PROS: Both were simple to connect.

CONS: The pointer is very small, and hard to locate sometimes. Perhaps that can be skinned to make it better.

Sony 'unconcerned' by low Xperia Play PSone game sales

Sony has said it's unconcerned by low initial sales of PSone games on Xperia Play.

Each of the five original PlayStation games available for the phone on Android Marketplace have shifted under 1,000 units since launching in early April. Here are the sales totals, courtesy of PlayStation LifeStyle:

Cool Boarders 2: 100-500

Destruction Derby: 500-1,000

Jumping Flash: 50-100

MediEvil: 100-500

Syphon Filter: 100-500

Despite the underwhelming numbers, Sony Ericsson head of market development Dominic Neil-Dwyer told the site Xperia Play was "shaking up" the mobile sector.

"I think there's also an awareness thing for people that are getting their hands on the device and where they are choosing to purchase games," he said. "There's only a few, at the minute, PlayStation One titles there, and there's more coming on a regular basis, and there's the whole PlayStation as a content provider exclusive to the device, the story about that, that will emerge and people will see.

"So, there's no concerns, it's a revolutionary device, it's shaking up the market, we're very pleased with it. In terms of getting the PlayStation Certified program out, generally, we're very happy. I think we'll make a full assessment of if it has achieved our expectations fully, further down the line, so we're very happy."

Xperia Play will be available on the O2 network (UK) in "early June", the service provider confirmed yesterday. While the device has already released on other major UK phone networks, O2 put off its own launch in light of unspecified bugs it identified with the hardware.

Sony Ericsson UK marketing boss David Hilton told CVG last month that the firm's planning to woo developers to bring a new type of PlayStation exclusive to market in the coming months - freezing out the likes of iPhone to release mobile titles only on its Xperia Play.

Any thoughts? isn't the Xperia Play selling very well in general? (anyone got any sales figures?) or do people prefer FPSE? or maybe the titles are too expensive?

:(
[Xperia Play General] finty:
Them games were medicore at their original release IMO. Wait for the US release, throw up some top class games like MGS or FF7 and it will be a different story. Saying that I already own most of the PS1 games I want to play in either disc or PSN form so I'll probably stick to FPSE rather than buying again.
[Xperia Play General] sdlaurin:
Had no idea you could vet them in marketplace. Never seen them there
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
Launch the playstation app and press the search button :)
[Xperia Play General] Logseman:
Their cost has been making an emulator and ripping the ROMs. Of course they are unconcerned with low sales, they didn't invest any serious sum of money.
[Xperia Play General] dsswoosh:
The phone is selling well, but the PS1 games aren't. Most people are buying the Gameloft/Xperia Play designed games.

It's not much to worry about, i'll explain why.

Mainstream consoles normally get sold for extremely low profit. I believe the 360 and PS3 were even being sold at a loss. M$ and Sony make their money from the games. This makes for extremely cheap hardware. The Xperia Play, and mobile phones in general are not subsidised by games or software. You pay what the hardware is worth. Even if they sold 0 games, SE are still in a healthy position.

I deleted my playstation pocket app and play all the PS1 games on fpse. I would think most people are doing the same.

The Play needs a batch of original games. It has the power of a PS2+ on native games. Look at the graphics on backstab, they are incredible for a mobile phone. PS1 emulated games do not show off the Xperia Play all that well anyway.
[Xperia Play General] svenk919:
I'm going with dsswoosh here, I think ps1 games are mostly good for marketing then anything else. On most consoles/handhelds backwards compatability is a thing used in marketing at the release of new devices but gets neglected later on as only a few people actually care for it (the ps3 got away with removing it in newer versions and nobody really cares that the x360 doesn't support al the original xbox games and a lot of wii owners don't even know they can play gamecube games on it).

Probably some major titles will be released around tactical data (US release or when competitors bring out something new or when the playstation suite comes to tegra 2 devices for example).
[Xperia Play General] majj311:
dsswoosh is right. if people want to play old games, they'll get their own emulator and play it for free.

there has been a lot of very very bad journalism out there though (if you can call it journalism). rather than reporting that ps1 game sales are low, many are simply saying xperia play game sales are horrible.

i read many interviews with game developers and companies like gameloft are saying xperia play game sales are only second to iphone. the overall android game development landscape is no where as strong as the ios but most of the bigger android players happily add xperia play gamepad support b/c it's easy and brings in additonal revenue with little additional work.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abu-7abash:
OCing depends primarily on the Kernel not the rom, the rom just helps with making the phone smoother and more efficent when OCing. Anyway, if you're running a 2.2 or 2.2.1 rom here's the only kernel I know off that can get you over 1.4.

***Edit as of 9:09 PM EST... We have confirmed that another "46" has rooted... Looks like my bud just has a partially broken NC, so move along....

Older info, left for posterity, incase the sky really is falling...

Please read carefully, I have tried everything. If you bought your NC within the past 3-4 weeks, please go to the last post on this thread, and create a new one with your serial number, leaving the last 4 as xxxx. We are trying to gather serial info, as I apparently have a "46", and no one else that we know of so far has anything newer than a "45"...

Ok, I've rooted about 20 of these so far. I know how to make a CWM 3.0.1.0 bootable microsd like the back of my hand. A Co-worked handed me his freshly bought NC. I noticed it was running 1.2. I turned it off. I popped the SD card in that I used to root one just this past weekend. I powered it back on, and it booted directly from emmc. I then went and made a brand new CWM SD card, using a different SD. Same behavior. Rebooted 8x, hoping that recovery would kick in. It did, but just brought me back to 1.2 again. Pondered, what would the XDA Gods do? ADB... Right, doesn't connect. Could be something on my machine, but I think it's due to USB debugging disabled, but I cant re-enable it from the sotck BN1.2 interface...

Has the end come? I dont want to yell that the sky is falling... I'll be here until 4p, and I'm willing to try anything other than breaking it open or returning it and hoping for an older 1.1x model.

Oh, and I know that the slot works, as after the boot, if I eject the sd and mount it on the pc, I see the lost.dir and other folders that android has created. (also, it can be seen on windows when I plug in the usb cable...)
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr_fosi:
You used the 1.2 Manual Nooter?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] computercarl:
No, Step 1 of the manualnooter is booting from CWM sd. When I make the sd, and pop it in, it doesnt boot from it, it goes directly to emmc.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr_fosi:
My bad.

So you are using 3.0.2.8 as recommended and you have tried the card you burned in another NC that you know boots from the SD?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] computercarl:
Yep, well 3.0.1.0, but yes. I 've tried 2 cards, 1 of them I just used this past weekend to successfully root a stock 1.1.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr_fosi:
Hrm.

I know it sounds dumb since you say that at least one of these cards worked just a few days ago, but I would create an upgraded 3.0.2.8 and try it again.

Dumb question, but I presume he had already registered the device? Also, maybe try a different card, it's possible that there may be something on that actual card that may cause a problem. As a last resort, return it to the store and ask for another? dunno Maybe see if the model number on the back is different? or see what serial number range it came from?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] computercarl:
Registered status has nothing to do with the ability to boot from SD. The ability to boot from SD is set in the firmware, and apparently BN has changed it in the most recent version. I've tried 2 cards that I have used before. No dice.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iDidItAll4theNookie:
Did you see if you could even read the SD from stock 1.2? Sure, android created some folders, but maybe the slot was not working well. My USB micro SD reader sometimes gives me errors when trying to copy files over. It will copy a fe MB, then it quits and the card disappears. I have to eject and reinsert the device a few times to get things working.

If B&N has done something to them, i need to buy now, since i suspect she will want to root (or even something like CM7). I was thinking it could be a faulty SD card... before it was returned, did you see if the Nook OS was properly seeing the SD card?

Yep. I can see files that I placed on there (mlo, uboot) in the b+n "my files" section, of course it doesn't know what to do with them. I can also confirm that it can read them because when I plug in the usb cable, Windows gets the popup of 2 new drives, the emmc and the sd card, to which I can see all of the files written there by winimage.

From the looks of it, i think i are trying the last thing i would say to try (an SD bootable OS).

If it does, then we know new SN models are different and should be avoided (which would mean i need to buy the nook today)...
