I've not installed anything on the phone before.

I tried to copy a cab file to the SD card but I've got problems as the phone thinks there is no SD card present.

Can I copy the cab file to the phone's memory? I cannot see the phones memory through explorer on my PC though do I need some special software?

Srry if this is a stupid question I did search but found nothing :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ugrxda:
Try installing MS ActiveSync. Connect the HD2 to the PC using the usb cable. Once installed, you will be able to see the HD2's files in Windows Explorer. Just copy the cab file to a folder. Disconnect the phone and launch the cab file from the phone's file manager.

Cheers
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] men8ifr:
Microsoft says Active Synch will only work with XP SP2 and earlier I have XP SP3.

Is there anything else I can use?

What does everybody else do - do you not install anything via PC to the phone?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Matthes42:
For Vista or Windows 7 the used tool is called Microsoft Mobile Device Center (MSDC). For Windows XP (even SP3) active sync has to be used. Did you try it to install? I´m sure that it will work.

To install applications at your mobile device do the following steps:

a) connect it via active sync

b) using your PC´s Explorer to copy the cab-file containing your application to your mobile device and remember the place you copied it

c) disconnect your mobile device

d) using your mobile device´s go to the directory you copied the cab-file and start it

This way your application will be installed

But I´m sure you would have found the answer without asking here. Mr. Google knows it already :-)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] p107r0:
XP SP3 here, ActiveSync works with no problems.

As to the installing files to device - you may run out of memory soon, so I'd suggest buying even the smallest card (although preferably min 2GB, if you intend to toy with SD Android at some time)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] sugfawlo:
Hello Android Users

Currently I'm in Italy and I'm living in dormitory. I've very annoying issue with my Asus Transformer which details I'm writing you bellow:

Administration of the building provides open Wifi network, which obtain login using web browser. My android device don't have any problems with finding network and connecting with it, but when I'm trying to open my browser and use login and password provided I can't finish login process. By this I mean that after clicking Enter button, I receive blank page. Sometimes I receive information that my device is not allowed to connect by the administrator.

On my Windows 7 PC I've to use two browsers: one to login, another to browse the internet. Some my friends which use 64bit Win, have the same issue.

To overcome this problem I'm using Connectify, problem with this solution is that my Wifi, card is disconnecting more often than without establishing virtual access point.

Could you help me with this. I don't know how to check what kind of encryption they are using.
[Xperia Play General] TehH4rRy:
Nothing in this world is perfect, we all know that.

What annoying you about your Xperia Play? Anything from little tiny niggles to other bugs. Discuss and see if we have any fixes

(Btw I love this phone and by no means am I slagging it off, these are little annoyances :D)

I'll start:

The sliding screen wobbles a little

My volume slider has a small imperfection that makes for a slight pointy feel on the bottom

When using Bluetooth headphones, turning them off before stopping the music crashes the phone and forces a reboot (Bug)

Right trigger feels more loose than the left

None of these really affect how the phone functions, they just annoy me a bit :P

What you guys got?
[Xperia Play General] GaresTaylan:
I think the only thing that has really annoyed me is the auto-dim. That thing is ridiculously sensitive.

If I wanted to get really picky - when the game pad has been slid out the right side of the screen sags a little lower than the left side.
[Xperia Play General] Logseman:
I'm annoyed with the lack of L2 and R2 buttons, it limits the phone's emulation capabilities a whole lot.

I would do with a livelier screen, I feel the colors are so bland now in comparison with my old Galaxy S...

The back cover is jokingly frail, and the SD card doesn't work if you remove it... I'm thinking of getting a spare one.
[Xperia Play General] The_Newtype:
My issues:

1) Stock camera app instead of the Arc's

2) R-trigger much more lose than the left

3) Back cover is too difficult to remove, and feels like it will break at any moment.

4) Bottom of phone squeeks on the back panel/battery cover

5) Phone's reception is very disappointing

6) Camera/Video capabilities are extremely disappointing

7) Lacks backlit keys under screen

8) Notification light in a less than ideal location

9) 512MB RAM chokes at times

10) Headphone jack and usb port on side of phone; need to be on the top and bottom repsectively

11) Auto-dim needs the option to be turned off (like on almost every other phone available!)

12) Phone takes quite a while to charge to 100%

13) Volume button is difficult to press while holding the phone vertically; not easy to feel +/- without looking
[Xperia Play General] havokk:
i dont really have any of them problems lol.

only thing annoys me is 512 ram

also i dont know what ive done but i dont have the autobrightness either. it stays on whatever brightness i set it to onthe power control widget :/ it also tells me 2.3.2 is the latest update tho lol
[Xperia Play General] TehH4rRy:
Well, I've had a nose around and the wobbly screen can be sorted with the mouse slider pads you have on the bottom of your mouse, just stick a few onto the back.

With the auto brightness I am confident the up coming CM7 Rom in development that it will be added.
[Xperia Play General] Frogybloop:
This is actually quite ingenious!! Can't believe I never thought of that. My play hasn't had this problem yet but I know it will eventually, the OG droid had it big time and was the reason I gave up on that phone and moved over to the Dinc.

For people complaining about the auto brightness and general screen brightness issues, are you aware of the factor installed "screen protector" thats on the play? I haven't done it yet but apparently you can easily remove it and make the screen much brighter, more responsive and less like to have auto brightness issues. Look here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1094245
[Xperia Play General] Nhialor:
What are mouse slider pads?
[Xperia Play General] TheBassman369:
This except for the screen. I owned a Captivate with the SAMOLED and loved it but I just came from a Desire HD so this screen is amazing compared to it.
[Xperia Play General] nelly_boy:
1) Stock email not accepting security certificates from exchange meaning the arc / play is not business ready. Htc, iphone, bb all do this.

2) Screen is a joke in the sun. No two ways about it. Whenever I try to show off the plays gaming to my friends, seeing them squint / struggle to see the screen embrasses a little. Also us it me or does this Screen just love attracting smudges. I spend so much time cleaning it ;-)

3) touch screen sensitivity. Never had problem typing on the iphones screen. On this I just can't help missing. On the iphone, I think due to it needing electric charge from finger it was a lot more accurate. On this the first tiny tap of one my fat fingers selects the letter. Generally either to the side or above the one I need. Ok I use swype to remedy this, but don,t help when selecting links in the web :(

4) loose screen clinking away typing.

5) screen brightness flickering away, even with protector removed.

6) force close, hanging when using messaging and dialer pisses me off also.

7) wireless flaky as hell. drops for noreason. i..e connected but with limited connectivity. No other device does this in my home, three lappy's, one iphone 3gs, one ps3, one xbox, one wii, psp. All work fine ( not on the same time obviously) Why the hell does my xplay just drop for no reasson.

Other than that I am well happy. :-)
[Xperia Play General] Red_Kop:
1. Screen is too dark. Unusable in any type of sunlight.

2. Graphically intensive games lag like a *****.

3. The phone also lags at times.

4. Sometimes loses wi-fi for no reason.

5. Signal drops out sometimes.

6. DPAD is too close to the upper part of the phone meaning you can't use flat of your thumb. Making it very difficult and uncomfortable to use 'up' in games that require a lot of 'up' movements. eg. beat em ups, football, 1942 style shoot em ups, rpg etc.

7. Screen isn't most sensitive or accurate. My Iphone 2g was better.

8. No HD recording. WHY?!

9. Poor battery.

10. Auto dim is stupid.

Apart from that, I love the phone and wouldn't change it for the world. I am a gamer first, I will always choose a pad over the above.
[Xperia Play General] shotgunfool:
No issues whatsoever for me because i research into other peoples fixes for any problems i have,

[Xperia Play General] J4r3dP:
This is my first smartphone...so a lot of this is new and exciting to me...but ether are a few things..

0. No root for r800x!!!!! Lol

1. No hdmi our like my girlfriends droid x.

2. Ergonomics...hand cramping when gaming.

3. I always have to physically look fire the volume.

4. Ram.

5. triangle and up buttons are a bit close to the screen...it would be nice to have an option for backlit

Buttons...despite the mediocre battery life.

All if this in no particular order. I love the phone as its kind if been my pspa nail in the coffin...since I used my psp mostly for emulation.... Rip psp.
[Xperia Play General] ncaissie:
I have these problems as well as a LOT of Wi-fi issues. It is the only device of the many i have that has wi-fi problems.

I also have problems internal memory being way to small. I love collecting games I have well over 400 on my Ipad and under 20 on my x Play and the internal memory keeps getting lower and lower. I'm going to be forced to root soon.

And lastly the volume buttons suck and are hard to push if you are in a hurry to turn it down. For instance it you have the volume up loud from home and your timer goes off in the middle of an important meeting. LOL

And yes the only camera I had to hand was my phone :P
[Xperia Play General] mastertiti2000:
R button less responsive than L

Brightness a little dark

Impossible to desactivate auto brightness

Coulours very poor than my old Desire
[Xperia Play General] Nhialor:
dunno what everyone's talking about, I've no problems at all! ha, guess I got lucky! Well, I lied, I've 2 small ones, but nothing to write home about.

Minor issue with wifi dropping, but have found that it usually occurs where the reception is kinda iffy

And my screen SLIGHTLY wobbles...but I'm not too fussed about that!
[Xperia Play General] speedyink:
One way was just posted like 3 posts up.

I don't have a lot of gripes left. Fixed the crappy typing issue with a new keyboard, and taking off the screen protector. Fixed my no screen off animation issue, fixed the buggy sony launcher for launcher pro, and most my other gripes.

Only things left are

notification light position sucks

I miss my amoled display (indoors anyway)

I don't see the big deal with ram, Android doesn't really need more than 512mb. The reason you only see 140mb free at idle is cause it caches the bajeesus out of your commonly used apps. If it needs more ram it can and will make room. I personally have not seen any significant lag in games from lack of ram.

And someone said poor battery??? This phone has amazing battery life compared to most smart phones.
[Xperia Play General] TheBassman369:
I know...battery is amazing compared to my Desire HD.

[Acer Iconia A500] rquinn19:
I saw it mentioned somewhere before, but I can verify that the Acer case was $19.88 for me in store at Wal-Mart. The price said $39.99 on the rack, but it wouldn't scan at the register and when they looked it up in the system it said the lower price.

Worth a shot.

I just wanted to start a post so everyone can share which setting are working for them insted of digging through the PB&J OP.. Im running at 1400 mhz.. I havent started tinkerimg with the voltages yet.. Also if there is any info anyone thinks people should know about let me know and ill added it in

900 right now with the voodoo fix. Seems snappy enough for me.

I messed with my settings.. I have 1400-1100mhz knocked down 75mv and everything 1000mhz and under I knocked down 100mv... Its working fine for me
[Verizon Droid Charge] Phlack:
I don't understand what problem you are having? Did you have PB & J installed and started overclocking and the phone crashed? If you were using the Voltage Control app then it should have just rebooted and reset the clock speeds.
[Verizon Droid Charge] reaeg:
I'm impressed you got 1.4GHz stable at -75mV. Can it run stability test for 30 minutes without crashing?
[Verizon Droid Charge] cold21blooded:
Lol I dont know what stability test is but ive had this setup for over a day and no reboots or anything.. When I say -75mv I mean 75mv under what default is... At 1.4ghz default voltage is 1375mv and I have mine set at 1300mv.. Idk if thats what you were saying by -75mv

So 4g is sticking? I love cm7 but 4g would never sticked.

Would a cm7 theme run on this rom ?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] pmdied:
Questions here:

Would it make sense to try the same 3g4g procedures as cm7, that is fix permissions etc?

What about restoring apps and data settings from My Backup?

Would they have a bearing with WiFi to 4g transfer, etc?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Jaxidian:
Some get 4g to stick, others don't. I personally have issues sometimes and no problems others.

CM7 themes work perfectly on here. Same theme picker app you're familiar with.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Jaxidian:
I've not yet tried the fix permissions workaround from cm7, mostly because it didn't work there for me.

I'm not sure what you mean about "My Backup".
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Mustang302LX:
It is fine to use something like TiBu to restore apps+app data. Do NOT restore system data using TibU though. Then you are just inviting issues to come up.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] samdroidx:
X-posting my post from rootzwiki forum:

I stumbled upon something strange with this ROM today, was going to see if anyone can try this and confirm because I've not seen any mention of it. If I have the phone in CDMA + LTE/EVDO mode and I power the phone down all the way, remove the battery cover, and boot it back up normally (battery cover still off) I have a 1x connection when I boot back up. When I put the battery cover back on I lose all data until I toggle. When I boot the phone in CDMA + LTE EVDO mode with the battery cover on I get no data at all when I boot, which seems to be the most common case. I, like everyone else AFAIK, have to toggle to get it to go back to 3g, then toggle again to get 4g - which sticks great after I toggle, btw. I just thought it was weird that it makes a difference whether I have the battery cover on when I boot it. I'm on .0223r radio and OMFGB's default kernel.

By the way, this ROM is silky smooth for me. Extremely fast and very stable. Everything works that I use. Great work!!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] chriskader:
The battery cover is the antenna. I am sure there is an issue with going from no data to data when you readd the antenna. That may be why you need to toggle.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dc iz 2 legit:
On the newest build does it say 4g or the g symbol that everyone is talking about and does it have bars also when you say 4g sticks after toggle does that mean even when it switches from 3g to 4g for the rest of the day
[Thunderbolt Android Development] samdroidx:
Makes sense I guess. What I was getting at is that there's no data whatsoever when I reboot it with the battery cover on (like most people have reported many times on CM and this rom already), yet I get 1x when I reboot it with it off without doing any toggling.

Also, I'm not complaining about having to toggle, I hope nobody took it that way :) Small burden to me.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dc iz 2 legit:
Well everytime I was stuck on the 1x I would just go outside and give it a little and it would get 3g but it is easier to just toggle also the same experience on 4g this was all on cm7 but i was wondering if its the same on this ROM cause I love aosp but not having stable data was a deal breaker I don't want to run in circles and doing flips and stuff to get trough the day but you know everything else worked perfect. right now I'm on 3.0 and its great but would try this cause some are saying this has good stable data
