To tell you the truth i didn't test it yet !!!

But it seems to me that this problem is the same as Sacred Odyssey !

Since the 2.3.3 update sacred odyssey force close (crash) once you launch it!

1: Sony need to make sure that his firmware don't kill the games that people own

2: Gameloft need to update his game and make sure to do that once sony do an update

3: Gameloft has to make the game free of system check cause this could lead to this

1 Sony VS Gameloft 2

Gameloft Lost :mad:
[Xperia Play General] dassub:
Thanks! Downloading now in Canada on Rogers (had to click Refresh for it to show up).

Why are they giving us free games?
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
There not, sony will be paying for it .......
[Xperia Play General] gojoechris:
Has anyone is the US had luck getting this to show up in the launcher?
[Xperia Play General] Varucell:
I can't seem to find the link for it. Trying to find it on game loft websit. Can someone please post link possibly for the US
[Xperia Play General] fenix4o9:
any one with verizon get this for free ... or can even find it lol

update : download gamelofts app called 100% hd games . takes you to wap store. but here in us still shows up 4.99
[Xperia Play General] iconoclastnet:
Seems to be working for me (in the US, but not using verizon).

launch the Xperia play app -> click on "more games" -> wait a moment for the list to update -> click on the boldly marked "Rainbow six HD FREE" icon. (takes you to the wapstore page directly.) -> click "download"

Then after it "installs", launch it and wait for it to download an additional 400+ Megs ... slowly ...
[Xperia Play General] marvi0:
Really surprised this game is free, you guys sure it's not only the demo that's free and the full game will be some in app purchase?.
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
dude sony just buy a **** load of oem versions, and make gameloft sell them for free, then you tell your mates that you get all these free games, and they go and buy an xperia play..... its just marketing ;)
[Xperia Play General] Red_Kop:
Yep, just got it for free.

Showed up on my Xperia Launcher with a yellow 'FREE' banner (just like Asphalt).

Thanks Gameloft, or Sony, whoever arranged this.
[Xperia Play General] DeareN:
Same here in Greece. Downloading it right now...
[Xperia Play General] thomassafca:
Hmm it shows up in my launcher, but when I go the page it's blank..

Anyone mind sharing the apk?

Ok never mind, now it works :P
[Xperia Play General] Red_Kop:
Well, that was one hell of a slow download! REALLY SLOW!

Finally got it but when I run it, it gives me an error and force close button. Grrr.:mad:
[Xperia Play General] Laird_Attwood:
REALLY slow here as well, 40minutes + at least now and still only about half way :eek:
[Xperia Play General] thomassafca:
Yeah the downloadspeed is just pathetic.. :confused:
[Xperia Play General] Red_Kop:
Well seems like the first post was correct:

Rainbow Six and Sacred Odyssey are not compatible with Gingerbread 2.3.3

Neither of these games work for me now. Error on startup. Sacred Odyssey just installed an update too. All my other Gameloft games work ok.
[Xperia Play General] shotgunfool:
Rolling onto nearly 2 hours waiting for this to download, although im on 2.3.3 im getting it now even though i know it wont work so i can get it free then gameloft just need to release an update.

but downloading this is just a joke.
[Xperia Play General] Red_Kop:
I bought Sacred Odyssey, Nova 2 and Lets Golf 2 the other day and they were all very quick to download. Maybe their severs are getting bummed.

Pity it doesn't work on 2.3.3. Bit miffed I payed for Sacred Odyssey the other day and it doesn't work now.

How are Gameloft for patches usually? Quick?
[Xperia Play General] narflynn619:
Says FREE on the Xperia Play launcher but when clicked and redirected to Gameloft WapShop is still asks for Payment Method and is priced at $2.99. Same thing happened with Asphalt 6 Adrenaline, it said it's FREE but still I paid $2.99. CRAP.
[Xperia Play General] marvi0:
maybe it's country specific which is just wrong cause here in uk its free. This game is ace haven't played yet but played on my iphone 4, nice to see android catching up.
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
it wont work on 2.3.3 :mad:
[Xperia Play General] replicant101:
Could somebody post a link maybe? I can't find it :S
[Xperia Play General] FrAsErTaG:
free here in Australia

but sigh, crashes after 2 hours of downloading :(
[Xperia Play General] m3dteam:
I confirm, it works like a charm on 2.3.2

I am playing online right now, you guys HAVE to try online (with the real buttons, you OWN ppl)
[Xperia Play General] yohandesilva1:
Thanks ma man Just downloaded
[Xperia Play General] soudara:
crash after 10mn on 2.3.3
[Xperia Play General] Red_Kop:
Someone had kindly opened the topic on Gameloft:

http://forum.gameloft.com/index.php/topic,16922.0.html
[Xperia Play General] replicant101:
i have it crashes.. im on 2.3.2 not 2.3.3
[Xperia Play General] axiomjunglist:
I'm in the US and not on Verizon either, do you have an R800i or R800a? It's not showing up in my XPlay App, even after reboot and refresh.

And, oddly enough I can only get 1 Gameloft game, Asphalt 5, to show up in the Market on my phone...
[Xperia Play General] DeadlyDazza:
I've submitted a ticket for both Sacred Odyssey & Rainbow 6 but heard nothing back yet.

I've also tipped off engadget, if these issues hit the online press Sony Ericsson & games companies may be more inclined to collaborate closer in the future and a fix for this may be faster forthcoming.

I'd suggest that more people submit this problem to engadget in the hope that they do article the problem.
[Xperia Play General] Laird_Attwood:
What browser are you using? not all log that your using a Xperia Play so they will charge you thinking your using another handset/mobile device.

Took me awhile to figure that out as I didn't have the default browser installed!

Opera def doesn't work. Default browser and Boat Browser are the 2 I use now to get the device deals.
[Xperia Play General] Varucell:
This link says that the deal isnt available in the US. Also give some info on upcoming games.

http://www.androidcentral.com/xperia-play-gets-rainbow-six-exclusive-more-games-show-e3
[Xperia Play General] ncaissie:
Got it!

The phone that keeps on giving! :)
[Xperia Play General] gojoechris:
Oh well. I probably won't buy it anyway without a good demo. Sorry GL no $ for you.
[Xperia Play General] sdlaurin:
Who care about demo when the games are free. When they arent free they cost like a dollar. Lets not forget every ninteno, neogeo, ps1, atari, mame game is free also ;-) if you own the original.
[Xperia Play General] replicant101:
Oh it does work. I just messed the install up. Really great game :)
[Xperia Play General] ncaissie:
I can't believe how badly the US is getting the shaft with this phone!

I wonder if Sony is getting you back for the 360. LOL

I’ll finish downloading the game when I get home.
[Xperia Play General] v3rn:
No kidding, I think I'm starting to know how other people must feel who live outside the US when we usually get all the good stuff. Can definitely tell that SE is pushing this phone more outside the US. Verizon needs to step up and start putting some muscle behind it or it's going to be left in the dust by the upcoming Android devices.
[Xperia Play General] Sess:
Yea, aint free in the US. I already played this game on my droidx, its good singleplayer/coop, but the VS mode is terrible. Running is way too fast. Wish gameloft would have taken a hint from their excellent MC2 multiplayer. Probably would work great with the shoulder buttons too on my new xperia...
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
replicant101 i gave you an internet :D lol
[Xperia Play General] FrAsErTaG:
any method for 2.3.3 yet?
[Xperia Play General] iconoclastnet:
R800a. unlocked and rooted, though I don't suppose that matters.

Rainbow Six and Asphalt 6 both showed up as free downloads in the xperia play app, and the other Gameloft titles that show up take me to their wapstore. Some of the other publishers games in the xperia play app give me a "not available in your region" messages (Worms HD for example).

Asphalt HD 5 shows up in the regular android market (as opposed to "xperia play" app).

It's kinda annoying that they're trying to split the market like that. I mean it's one thing to highlight certain titles, link directly to them or whatever other promotion they want to offer, but I really don't want to have to check six different places to get my apps updated or try to guess which market app is going to have Assphalt 7 or whatever. </rant>

Anyway, it's odd but they seem to be including everyone except verizon...
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
Its not odd, verizon obviously want a cut for supplying it through there app store, and gameloft have told them to do one lol
[Xperia Play General] FK1983:
The download keeps stopping for me :(
[Xperia Play General] AriStar:
free in canada! yay this is awsome.
[Xperia Play General] axiomjunglist:
Still don't see those games in the Xperia Play App. I even rolled back the update to see if that was the problem.

Oh well. I have a dev unit that was passed out before the Google I/O event. Don't know if that matters any, and I'm on AT&T.

Wonder how yours is different... my R800a is rooted/unlocked as well.

:confused:
[Xperia Play General] ncaissie:
The games in the Xperia play App are filtered for the play controls. I really find it annoying that Rogers has an app store that is on my phone but none of the games work with play. Not just the controls but with the phone period. Why put it on the dam phone? Just to piss me off? Then there is the Amazon app store that lets me create an account, add my CC and download the app. When I try to buy a game it says it’s not available in Canada. Pisses me off!
[Xperia Play General] ncaissie:
It matters. I have a Canadian one and we don't have Sims 3. It is filtered based on your Service Provider I believe. If you had a Rogers SIM card you would probably see our games.
[Xperia Play General] 050177e:
wont work on my 2.3.3...:mad:
[Xperia Play General] ps3taker:
works on 2.3.2 but download was very slow compared to previous downloads from gameloft. On the other hand when I downloaded other games the download would stop and I had to do a few attempts for every game (this was during there £1 per game offer) and some of the game still asked for more downloads even after confirmations of successful download before that
[Xperia Play General] The_Newtype:
Have the same set-up as you but mine is unlocked/unbranded, but not rooted. AT&T SIM here as well.

All of these games you guys are talking about are not showing up in the Play launcher for me.
[Xperia Play General] iconoclastnet:
Hmmm. Sounds like it should be the same.

I picked this up at Google I/O. I chose AT&T when given a choice of "AT&T or Verizon", although I haven't actually put a sim in it yet.

R800a running 2.3.2 build 3.0.A.2.184, unlocked with the official sony unlock process and rooted with gingerbreak.

I did update the Xperia Play app itself a while back. (currently it claims to be "version 0.0.0.0.200". That must be one seriously conservative version numbering scheme.)

I have "Unknown sources" selected in application settings, although I doubt that would affect what items the xperia app shows to you.

I can't think of what else they might key off of. :confused:
[Xperia Play General] iconoclastnet:
Highlighting apps with the Xperia Play controls is a great idea, but those same apps should be available on that same device in the market too (currently some are and some aren't). I installed Age of Zombies going through the Xperia Play app, and if there's an update in the future, I'll see it next time I launch the market. If there's an update to Rainbow Six, I'm not even sure how I'd know about it, let alone where to grab it.

And as you point out, that's not half as bad as the things they'll let you download and then refuse to run. For me it's the EA titles in the xperia app (Worms, NFS Shift, etc.). They'll happily install on the phone, but when you try to run them they'll say "This trial is not available in your country". And why couldn't they figure that out before it downloads and installs on the device??

Don't even get me started on the Amazon app store fiasco. Trust me, you're better off without it. We all would be.
[Xperia Play General] Dousan:
Gameloft games search automatically for updates when you start them (afaik) and if any a pop up window will appear and then you just confirm and download the update ;)

Regards Dousan...
[Xperia Play General] axiomjunglist:
Ah, makes sense now. Almost 99% certain it has to do with being provisioned by your carrier then and what SE allows in specific market regions. I'm betting if you placed an AT&T SIM in and got on the network you'd lose access to future regionalized offerings like this. If this theory is true, then it might be possible for root users to wipe out specific settings and regain this ability. Or might require flashing and wiping most if not all user data. Not sure...
[Xperia Play General] svenk919:
To bad the game won;t start at all :(
[Xperia Play General] iconoclastnet:
Good to know. Seems like they're reinventing the wheel a bit, just to avoid putting some of their titles on the market, but that's what makes 'em happy...

I'm going to laugh myself silly if it turns out they've gone through the effort of enforcing regional availability in a way that can be bypassed by just by pulling the sim out.

Ok it's probably not quite that simple, but still... I mean I imagined that having a sim from a given region would enable certain things, but if their default is 'enabled' and then certain sims disable whatever features... oh my. :p
[Xperia Play General] thomassafca:
It works on 2.3.3 now :)

Had to download another 1mb of additional data!
[Xperia Play General] yohandesilva1:
How to download the update? it FC before it checks for updates.
[Xperia Play General] metcard:
Yep. Works.

Go to more games on the xperia play launcher and click the Rainbow six FREE game which will take you to the Gameloft website. Download the installer package again and install.

It will verify the files you already have and then ask you to download an extra 1MB of data.
[Xperia Play General] yohandesilva1:
Thankyou both I got it working.
[Xperia Play General] Red_Kop:
Thanks, working.

What about Sacred Odyssey?
[Xperia Play General] Flava0ne:
I've noticed that both Asphalt 6 and Rainbow 6 were free for a while now. But I thought that they might just be demos or trials so I never downloaded them. So are these the FULL games for FREE?
[Xperia Play General] ncaissie:
Maybe when they come out with a custom ROM you will get it.

The Market icon only does a search for “Xperia Play Optimized” or something like that.

So searching for that will show you the same games. After you install some they will show up in your play app. Be sure to update you play app with the one in the market also.
[Xperia Play General] ncaissie:
It's not that. The game only partly downloads and then when you launch it, it downloads the rest of the game. Why would the game be 100MB then the update be 1.5GB?

It may look for updates also but that is not what they are talking about.
[Xperia Play General] ncaissie:
yes they are.

I downloaded SIMS 3 and another trail and it gives you a message when you launch it saying your trial starts when you start a new game or something. Tom C does not do that.
[Xperia Play General] Flava0ne:
That's awesome, I'm gonna download them now, thanks! :)
[Xperia Play General] Dousan:
I was referring to this written by iconoclastnet ;)

Regards Dousan...
[Xperia Play General] axiomjunglist:
Yeah I tried pulling my SIM and rebooting on wifi to see... but nothing changed. That's my best guess unless SE proves me wrong somehow ;)
[Xperia Play General] German-Guy:
Rainbow Six is not longer free in the Xperia Play Launcher. Can i delete and install the old R6 apk, too? Work this?
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
if you have a copy of the .apk you downloaded for free, you can reinstall it at any time, but only on your device, it was registered to your devices unique id at first launch :)
[Xperia Play General] ncaissie:
I must remember to back those up.
[Xperia Play General] German-Guy:
Okas, but this was the apk with the force Close Problem.
[Xperia Play General] ncaissie:
Copy the apk file, then uninstall the game then reinstall it.

Or copy all the apk files (and make sure you have one for each game/app and do a factory reset. You can re-download gameloft games.

Go to your play app.

Then select a game loft game.

Then select the more games link.

Then scroll down till you see “My Downloads” and in there you can re-download your games.
[Xperia Play General] nattnet:
u guys know abt 'Market Enabler'? it's free on market...lol...try set the carrier to any in EU (i tried VF UK) :p
[Xperia Play General] Hogwarts:
So I know this is an old post and all but I found this because I am trying to get the game lol.

I seached the V cast thing and its not on the games list anymore

I also searched android market and nothing is coming up

I did a google search for the name of the game and all I found was news articles talking about it being free for two months but for the life of me I cant find it

How are you supposed to get this game?

Anyone got a clue. Thanks
[Xperia Play General] netizenmt:
It can be purchased for $4.99 from the Gameloft site any time.

http://wapshop.gameloft.com/us/hdpl...31556&c=223&phoneId=5186&redirect=no&ms_sid=4

However, I read that Gameloft is having another 99 cent sale this New Years weekend starting on Friday.
[Xperia Play General] Hogwarts:
Thank you for this info.......

However I read some interesting information

This company does not like the android market. I'm guessing because the apps are transferable to any device at any time once purchased through your Gmail account

They would rather you pay for a game on each of your devices and keep paying for it when you do ROM updates and such

I will not support a company who is using DRM such as this

I will only support google and sony
[Xperia Play General] netizenmt:
<shrugs> That's your decision. However, you asked how to get it. That's how. As for charging you on a per device basis, that's common in the PC world, so I don't see it as unreasonable. We're talking a few bucks here. Money is how we support the companies that release products for our device(s) so they will keep releasing new products. Profit is the incentive that opens the door to further development.
[Thunderbolt General] Nikolai2.1:
Anyone know a definite fix for this?
[Thunderbolt General] theyownus:
Did you try fix permissions through cwm or rom manager? Worked for me...
[Thunderbolt General] Zomb!e:
Fixing permissions never worked for me. I flashed one of the wifi fixes in the CM7 thread and everything sticks now. It was the only thing keeping me from using CM as a daily driver. Glad to have it fixed now.

This is the one I used. Nandroid just in case. I believe it was drod who posted this in the CM dev thread...

[Thunderbolt General] jett2314:
Getting tried of watching my phone reboot. If going back to stock would resolve the issue I would do it. I called big red today and the pinhead I spoke to acted like it was the first time anyone had called about the TB rebooting on it's own. I'm looking at going to a different phone. I really think at this point it is a software issue that they need to correct. Just like with most businesses things are not addressed until they become a problem. So my thought is we should set a date when every one calls in to report their rebooting phones. We do this every week until we get a resolution. Anyone with me?
[Thunderbolt General] Fadingintofall:
Wait... You are rooted and getting reboots? Are you on gb? Did you root or install your rom properly? What kernel?

Stock I had no issues. Non-Gb I've had mostly no issues... Some kernels less reliable than others, of course. But to be honest it sounds more like a user issue than a tb issue
[Thunderbolt General] dacre:
Are you near a Verizon store? Verizon is usually very easy to convince that you need your phone replaced. (Although I think they will only replace it with the same model. But I'm not sure.) My Thunderbolt never reboots on its own but I know it is a problem that many Thunderbolts are experiencing, so maybe yours (and many others) is/are defective. I'm 99% sure if you go into a Verizon store and tell them that it randomly reboots all the time, they'll replace it for you.
[Thunderbolt General] kallyjk:
I reverted back to stock and haven't had a single reboot or loss of data on three days. Just sayin'.
[Thunderbolt General] jett2314:
I have read posts where people who are not rooted are getting reboots after they took the update. Have never had an issue with my phone until I took the update. Am going back to stock for a week or so to see if that clears things up.
[Thunderbolt General] Xpiatio:
Funny how VZW is changing their stance on it, almost as if it never has happened. About a month ago I went into a store and they told me that Im not the only one experiencing problems and that there will be a fix within 2 months.

I called VZW tech support and they told me that no one else is having reboots.. . . . I dont get it.
[Thunderbolt General] Silvus:
Try flashing your radios, I put both of mine to .6 and the reboots stopped.

(there is a thread in teh development forum, with the packages)
[Thunderbolt General] sethschmautz:
Can you specify what you mean when you say "both"? I have been getting reboots too - approximately 1 per day - but is there a process to flash each radio independently?
[Thunderbolt General] joshnichols189:
No, but each flash has two radios
[Thunderbolt General] jett2314:
Any issues with tethering or gps using the old radios?
[Thunderbolt General] dms76:
I still had reboots with both at .6, currently trying cdma.7/LTE.6.
[Thunderbolt General] satseaker:
It is a hardware issue,that's where the few pricked phone came from,my original bolt had the reboot loop on stock but no one seems to want to hear that,it is a series of phones having the trouble and they are or have replaced most of them,as far as most of the other reboot go that is self made misery by not following directions or not reading to find the fix, this bolt I have now has no reboot issues and it has a mat finish to it,the other one and a few I have seen that had issues had a smooth glossy finish.
[Thunderbolt General] jett2314:
I would love to think its a hardware issue, but my phone was solid from day one. Then I took the update and get these random reboot.
[Thunderbolt General] Jrocker23:
It is not a hardware issue. It is a problem with the update and how certain phones installed it. Verizon is in the process of making a new update and has been working on it with HTC for a little while now & expect to have it going out this month. For some reason the software does not talk to the towers properly with some models & the hardware does not get the proper info which causes the reboots. Exactly how to tell which phones are affected, I don't know. My friend is trying to find out for me.

I can say that I ran my phone with rooted stock & moved up to the rooted update when it was available which I am still on and I have not had any issues at all besides the low recorded video audio which the update seems to have fixed for me.

My phone is:
