hi all,

After reading plenty of reviews and all the youtube videos, i am now so close to buying an xperia play, but just a few questions that i need clarifying..

1. whats the build quality like of the game pad?

2. are the analogue pads that bad? or it just the games?

2. anyone here that has had the xperia play for a while.. how do the buttons feel after excessive usage? still the same as when u bought it or they dont feel as good.. im the sort of person that goes a bit mad with the buttons when playing games like marvel vs capcom :D and as i will be keeping the phone for a very long time, i wanna make sure the phone gamepad can last as long as a normal ps3 pad!

3. how well do the games play? how they play from factory stock android and are there improvements when removing the bloatware software.. really hate that timescape crap! improvements when upgrading to 2.3.3

4. sd card? which is the best class to buy 32gb?

thanks

Hi Mate,

First of all, I love my xperia play, really good phone and great for gaming. FPSE has made this phone for me now, massive choice of games, really cheap too as you can pick up 2nd hand psx games.

My issue with the reviews is that they compare the device to the top end stuff - SGS2, HTC sensation and Moto atrix. Its not that type of device, its all about gaming. The reviews seem to be down on the phone from the off due to the specs (low internal storage and slower than the best cpu). Anyway thats the rant...

1 (and the second 2.) Build quality - Seems a bit cheap and plastically compared to my old HTC desire and the htc sensation. However after 4 months of gaming and general use (i'm very clumsy with my phones and tend to drop them and scratch them all the time) It is still in very good nick, The plastic seems to take punishment a lot better than my old HTC. There are no visible defections and everything is working great - the game pad is still perfect and still feels new - it does pick up dirt pretty easy but I've never felt it affect the touch controls. I button mash a lot and everything feels great and still very responsive, I never feel like I need to be gentle and have gotten stressed a few times when losing a game on fifa and mashing the keys.

2. The pads are brilliant in my opinion, takes a little bit of getting used to in terms of not having any feedback when you push one way or the other. Main issue is the games - FPS has a massive lack in terms of how its controlled. Swiping is annoying but works, push to turn is good but can be too sensitive and hard to target from my experience - it will be a learning curve I'm sure.

3. The games are excellent. The ones that are optimized work smoothly and I've never had an issue with slow down apart from when the phone overheats (normally after 2+ hours or usage/gaming and whilst charging) Even then it was still usable. Some gameloft games aren't that good, its a bit annoying but most are great, its the best experience I've had on a phone, comparable to a psp/ds. Updates have made the phone better and better, then rooting and removing bloat have made it the perfect phone. Everything is instant, no waiting, much better than my HTC Desire, plus I never fill up my internal storage so I have no worried about installing other stuff

4. From what I've read its better to go for a class 6 or 4, but I've not tried a 32gb card yet. Class 10 is good for data transfer but not playing games etc. But I dont have any experience with it as of yet
[Xperia Play General] Geeve:
1. Phone's quality and design is awesome, I love it. The gamepad is very accurate, similar to a PSP one, something you would expect from Sony.

2. It will take a week or so to get used with, after that, it's a piece of cake to play with them.

The other 2. It feels the same, it's also somehow not that fragile as it looks.

3. I have the SD card full of games => almost all HD, never lagged; I also updated to 2.3.3 and all remained the same. Timescape widget is kinda' cool, you'll see.

4. Class 4. Detailed thread about SD card for XPlay here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1129749

Lol, I win :D
[Xperia Play General] dsswoosh:
1) Build quality is fine. Mine is sturdy as a rock. Some people report it feels cheap when it is slid open. I guess it is pot luck whether you have a good one or not.

2) Had mine for 4-5 months now. Everything feels brand new. Buttons still have an extremely strong "click" sound and feel when you press them. Ive excessively played with mine.

3) 2.3.3 is a major improvement over stuttering of games. There is now no stuttering. No easy way to root 2.3.3 either. So i didnt bother (even though i rooted 2.3.2). Bloatware is annoying, but just dont use any of it and you forget its even there.

4) I use the standard 16 GB that comes with it. Works fine for me.

Some annoyances -

- Still cant disable auto brightness as a stock feature

- My touch screen sometimes messes up and i still cant figure out why. Pressing the right hand side of the screen sometimes registers as the left side is pressed. HIGHLY annoying when wrong keys appear on the screen when creating messages etc.

- Emulators are still the best games. Dont bother with the phone if you want any kind of official game support from Sony. There is none.

- Analog joysticks are ok. Not the greatest design though. But they do the job.

Fellow Bell/Virgin Legend owners...

Are your GPS Lock times fast ( less than 30 secs )? Are you stock or Modded?

I'm having very erratic lock times...( the few times i get a lock ).I dont recall being that long when i was stock 6 months ago... but then again may be i wasnt using it as much as i am today....

im on blayo .84, tried different gps.conf i found on the net... sometimes they give you the impression that it fixes the problem for a while I've tried various combination, with wifi, data and without. Without any firm conclusion because sometimes i get fast locks ( less than 30 secs) about 10% of the time, 20 % average locks ( up to 3 mins) and 70% worst locks ( 5- 20+ mins).

Since i won't always enable Data, i've decided to test without data . Use GPS Status to test the time it takes to lock, Always Reset GPS Data after every lock, then right away use Fast Boot (from market) to flush all memory/cache

but now i can consistently test without data or wifi that:

1. if i use gpsstatus to test lock times and Reset GPS data, it may take from 3 mins to 20+ mins to lock

2. Everytime after a test, i use fastreboot (from market) to simulate a reboot and flush all memory, right after i use gps status to Reset GPS

At this point my conclusion is GPS is not consistent... and is not working most of the time... the few times it may work but again after a long wait time... is when i have Data on... but i wont always enable data when im outside my local area.

The things i've encountered is that may be i am missing the /etc/suplrootCert from bell (when i try the gps.conf of a BELL because it seems to point to different supl server, and port... the other tweaked gps.conf...i have a relatively fast fix when my data is on

can anyone with stock bell or working gps, send me their config /system/etc/gps.conf and the etc/suplrootcert

im using radio 7.13.35.13 , kernel 2.6.32.17, build 3.15.405.3, android 2.2
[Legend General] Hitmax117:
did you try it at diff locations?

if my gps works slow or not at all i reflash my radio, but be carefull with that !!

can't give more tips tho.. sry
[Legend General] QkSi1ver:
yeah different locations... which radio are you using? i have the BELL most up to date radio extracted from their most recent OTA ...
[Legend General] Hitmax117:
i'm using 7.13.35.05 works best for me

Hey everyone,

So I'm going to Texas in a few days to visit a friend, and I want to be able to access my movies and music from my home computer while I am there.

I'm good with servers and software, but I am having trouble finding good software. I basically asking if anyone has any suggestions for me.

I am not asking about remote desktop applications, I already use teamviewer for that.

Thanks everyone!

A lodger ok well then the best I think you can do is learn how but honest you asked for like a week and have been told loads of times its just your settings ,so you should star there or go to stck rom sorry bro and changing anything if you know what your doing wont efect any outher device in the home

;)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] nightwing369:
Thanks - any devs ok with giving me a hand, & up to the challenge?

Thanks, is there not a dev that wouldn't mind giving it a go though please as I'm really not a clever as you guys when it comes to programming and cooking roms and all sorts... ? Also, I really wouldn't mind if the progress with helping me by building it was slow with you (or whichever dev helped) focussing more on your other rom project, and other commitments ;)

It would really mean the world to me if one of you clever, cool devs could help me out please? :D :) Thanks :cool:

Okay, and thanks guys. I'll ask it in q&A general and just use one thread then ;)

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deppeler:
I was looking at my battery usage this morning (25% left) and it says 16hrs 10mins...

When I am finishing using it at night I shut it down & wi-fi on only if screen is on (so all the time I am using it).

What does this actually mean, I don't think I am actually getting 16+ hours?

So how does this compare to other people?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] satur9ine:
Anyone who was in NYC for the update able to confirm if you can still root after?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raistlin1:
This is why I have not tried it yet, not sure if the existing instructions will def work or not.

And I am not savy enough to "figure" it out if something goes wrong.

I feel bad though, I wish I had the courage to just go for it so I could give people here the update files they want. :(
[Vega General] DudeyGeeza:
As title, has anyone experienced this? If I shut it down when finished with (yes definitely shutting it down and not putting it into sleep mode).. I come back to it in the mornings, boot it up, once loaded it shows around 60% ish battery left...

I shut it down to save battery, but I'm pretty sure it wouldn't use as much just being sat there!
[Vega General] O_G:
40% overnight is massive, the battery icon on the status bar does not seem to update that quickly. Maybe its not really at full charge when you turn it off. I only lose 10-15% overnight in sleep mode.
[Vega General] yani2000:
Yeah!

I also lose up to 20% in sleep mode overnight.

But I experienced other strange battery behaviour.

Uptime 3 days:

- Day 1: 2h playing games (86% at complete shutdown)

- Day 2: 2h playing games (66% at complete shutdown)

- Day 3: at boot 20% --> WTH?!

So, yeah I also experienced this, but it was one-time only (yesterday). Or I wasn't paying attention because the tablet isn't mine.

Don't know!

EDIT: After 2 days (day 5) of complete shutdown the tablet was still working for 15 minutes with only 2% battery left. It's now being recharged.

I think the battery status is corrupt and needs to be reset.

I think it can be done with deletion of "/data/system/batterystats.bin" file (ROOT users only). --> I didn't try this method myself!

Very cool! I love you guys apps :)
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
I knew you would mate ;) Spread the word!
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Nothing at all? I was hoping for a little feedback...
[Android Apps and Games] fafrehugen:
Sure... app rocks, looking forward to the image backgrounds!
[Android Apps and Games] EXQEX9:
I just downloaded and installed the free version and it looks really nice. However, I do feel that there is room for improvement in the functionality.

1. Scrollable please! I want to use the widget in a 2x4 space, but I have lots of things I want to put on it. Making the widget scrollable will allow me to use a smaller widget size instead of putting it in the 4x4 space I use now (I gave it its own screen). Ill pay for the app if you implement this.

2. Mark as done in one click! As of now, you click once to open a menu that shows your tasks, then you click a second time to mark a task done, then you click a third time to close the menu (EDIT This is totally wrong. Its only 2 clicks, but I think the point stands) Placing a check box or some other kind of button next to each task that marks it as done would streamline this process.

3. Option to display "notes" on the widget. Again, something that would remove "clicks" from the process of seeing notes. Maybe make a global default for displaying notes in all tasks, then be able to edit each tasks individual "note display options" independently of the default. Also, if a task has "hidden notes", maybe place an asterisk at the end to denote that is has hidden notes. As for tasks that display their notes on the widget, the notes should have their own font size, style, and color options, and ideally (for me) should be indented. :)

These are all just suggestions. I hope some of them get you thinking of ways to improve your app. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing what you come up with! :)
[Android Apps and Games] fafrehugen:
Great ideas... but may be difficult to implement. Lets see what ftgg says.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
I say I'll look into it when I've had some sleep...
[Android Apps and Games] EXQEX9:
I'm probably the farthest thing you can find from an Android Dev, but I am sure that all of those things are common in other apps. There just isnt one with all of those features that I can find with all of the additional features of this app.

Cool. :)
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
The amount of r&d I do depends on the number of people that buy the app. Everyone thinks its the other way round, but for a company time is money, so I have to see an app succeed first, before committing additional resources...

So when people just use lite versions, never leave ratings or comments but still demand features many studios lose interest.
[Android Apps and Games] EXQEX9:
If this comment is directed towards me, I certainly wasn't demanding anything. I was just trying to help you improve your product.

If you think people will buy your app before it has the features they are looking for, you might want to reconsider. I rated your app a 3 because it doesn't have what I'm looking for. I'm not going to give you a 5, let alone spend money, on something that isn't what I want. I hope that makes some sense.
[Android Apps and Games] Jens Christensen:
Just installed the free version. Looks good, and I will buy if I continue to use it.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
How nice... however, I am a professional developer with over 20 apps. Im pretty sure i know what im doing in this business.

The 3 star rating is just a sign of ignorance, because two of the three features you want implemented are not possible under android at all. In fact, i know of only one other to do list app anywhere near as good as the current early (0.2) release of Moogly. And its still rubbish.

Giving the app a low rating despite it performing exactly as described will only lead to generally lower ratings and less time spent on development. But thats our lot - getting flamed by noobs with $500 phones who shy away from spending $1.48 on something they will use on a daily basis.
[Android Apps and Games] fafrehugen:
Haha, i know exactly how you feel mate - people just dont understand :)

You are one of the few devs that actually engages with the users, and some are always just ungrateful. I have been trying to do some modifications to it, but as you told me before its not possible!

He gave it 3 star because it didnt have what he wanted, but the app never claimed to have more than what is in the description. The only good reviews are the ones that give 5 stars and say "Works as advertised".
[Android Apps and Games] Dunc001:
@ftgg99 - Just out of interest which of those suggestions are not possible in Android? Just asking as I'm still getting to grips with what you can and can't do in apps and widgets on Android. Is it possible to mark as done directly in the widget? Also, I have been using GTasks and integrating it into Pure Grid Calendar so all my stuff is in one place, however I fancied a change so am trying out beOrganized at present (but getting really pissed off having realised that the Voice entry function only works when you have wifi/data available - wtf!). Anyway, I'd like to give your app a try so will feed back. Tasks is a big thing for me on my phone and something I use equally as much as my calendar, and having tried most things out there I have to agree that none of them are a perfect solution. So good luck with your app, if I like the lite version I will happily pay your humble price ;)

BTW, would you consider adding in alarm/notification reminder for tasks like in GTasks - find that very handy...
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Regarding the not possible thing - i was pretty red-eye after coding all night and after a second thought i must admit that i was wrong. All of them are possible. Im a noob.

Originally i just made this for myself after finding nothing adequate on the market, and i never use any other features - why bother with notifications for example when the widget is one one of only three screens i stare at all day anyway?

Now of course ill have to take people's suggestions into account so the minimalism i enjoy will have to take a backseat :)

The alarm, notification thing is on the todo list already. Will be implemented next week for sure.
[Android Apps and Games] Dunc001:
You see, that's what happens. You make something perfect and everyone wants to change it :p

If you need a crash dummy just PM me, I don't break easily :D
[Android Apps and Games] EXQEX9:
First off I want to say that the only reason I'm still in this thread is because I think there has been some kind of misunderstanding. I'm not one to argue online, but on the other hand, I don't like people thinking I'm flaming them when I'm trying to praise them.

I respect you're time spent as a dev, but I've been a consumer for longer than you've been a dev and I know that I will not buy a product based on future potential. Yes, even if it's $1.48. As a dev, you should know how those small sums can add up to be quite a bit over time.

Your app is the closest thing I have found to date to what I'm looking for in a todo widget. That having been said, I can't use it because it is missing some, of what are to me, key features. That having been said, I can't rate this app perfectly. The rating system, to me, does not reflect how well an app does what it advertises, but how useful/fun the app is overall and compared to other apps.

In my comment (EDIT: the one i made in the market), I did say that the app had serious potential. That's the highest praise I can give at the moment, but I think it's great praise.

I would appreciate you retracting the ignorant/noob comment, as you realized that the features are implementable.

Thank you if you've read this and thought about it objectively. Good luck with the app. I hope it's a success.
