Yeah, I only paid £1 for it but it is pretty awful with bugs, glitches and quirks.

The swimming one is bad, don't know how many times I've literally swam around town. :(

I've played the game from start to finish, and there are plenty of really obvious bugs that I doubt will ever be fixed.

The game isn't even that good anyway.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Logseman:
It's no wonder that Sony walked away from Gameloft and chose a somewhat more prestigious brand like EA for the next exclusive games...
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] zerojay:
Um... they didn't walk away from anything with anyone.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Logseman:
Well, Backstab was an XPlay exclusive when it was released... now they're not picking any more Gamelift's games for that, are they?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] typikal82:
The game is pretty buggy and laggy, but it's a great attempt from Gameloft. There's not a lot of elaborate games like this for Android on our phone yet and they did a pretty decent job, much better voice acting and gameplay than say Assassins Creed: Altair's Chronicles.

I highly doubt Joe Sony walked up to John Gameloft and said, "HEY, YOUR GAMES SUCK! I'm gonna go hang out with Hank E.A. now!" Also, remember this is SonyEricssons platform, not Sony (SCE).
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] subcu1ture:
It is a shame because it seems to be the only original game they came up with.

There was so much hype about this game in my country and they really dropped the ball on this one.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Logseman:
Lol, I don't mean that they said that. However, Gamelift's share of attention to the Xperia Play has diminished greatly, and it seems that EA has been appointed as a privileged gaming partner. Besides, Sony's (the alma mater's) involvement with the Xperia devices is greater now, for example the Qriocity store is now preloaded on the new firmware.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] zerojay:
That's not at all how this whole thing works and Gameloft's "share of attention" hasn't diminished at all, not sure where you get that from.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Logseman:
Well, in the Gamescom, only Let's Golf 3 was announced as being ported to the Xperia Play, if memory serves me. Meanwhile, EA announced three titles, two of them Xperia Play exclusives, and other developers announced two or three per developer. Here's a list sorted by developers: http://www.xperia.es/juegos/nuevos-juegos-para-xperia-play-anunciados-en-la-gamescom/
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] typikal82:
I think Gameloft has done pretty well converting their games to be "Xperia Play optimized", they already did it with most of their library - that makes sense - and now probably have to come up with (see: rip off, lol) new games.

It's nice to see more developers jumping on.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] FK1983:
LOL, nothing to do with them "not liking" gameloft, its just the way set exclusives work (same as consoles), in this case gameloft was first, then Polorbit, now EA, it will go back to Gameloft soon.

I much prefer Gameloft Games over the crap EA Mobile bring out, EA games (that aren't even very good) that have been out for absolutely ages on iphone just ported over badly to android, wow! the excitement! we get the year old need for speed: hot pursuit while idevices get the latest need for speed: shift 2 lol. and we already know how the new fifa i going to turn out......

Gameloft are bringing out many more games on the Play in the coming months :p

Gameloft ---> EA Mobile
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] zerojay:
That's also not how it works, not on the play, nor on the consoles. ;)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ncaissie:
LMAO That would be so funny to see someone pretending to swim around town. :eek:

I have this game but haven't had a chance to play it yet.

Edit:

I agree wih Logseman. I see a lot of EA promos with the play.

I'm headed out of town for a work conference, and I am taking my Epic and Xoom wi-fi with me. I've got a completely stock EC05 build that I would like to use as a wi-fi hotspot for my Xoom while I am out/about.

What do people recommend as the best method to root my phone and leave it as untouched as possible (IE reversible so that 2.3 OTA update can be had when it comes out)? I would really like to NOT have to totally flash/wipe my phone to achieve this, but admittedly I haven't gotten too far in researching because every method I've seen involves wiping the phone and installing some custom rom from scratch when I'm perfectly happy with the base/pre-fab interface from Sprint.

IS there even a way to get root without losing the existing data on my phone?
[Epic 4G General] ugothakd:
Odin cwm 3.1.0.1, and flash the genocide kernel. Yes, when you update you will lose root, but everything else should be intact (data/apps/contact)

[Epic 4G General] The Root:
It's not that simple. He's going to have to odin to get GB. How will he save all his **** in a restorable fashion? Once he loses root he loses access to his data.
[Epic 4G General] musclehead84:
He's not flashing gingerbread. He wants to stay on froyo. For easy root u could use odin to flash clockwork mod 3.1.0.1 and then flash the su.zip in recovery. Or you could run the one click root with clockwork mod 3.1.0.1. A third option if u just want root with no custom recovery u could try an app called gingerbreak. That will give u root without a custom recovery. All 3 of these will not wipe your phone.

[Epic 4G General] The Root:
Ok cool. Just didn't want him to end up in a bind. Lots of ways to gets stuck. It's not foolproof and you may end up having to wipe in the end. I say root and stick with it.
[Epic 4G General] tigerknight:
Excellent, thank you for the information :]

[Epic 4G General] ugothakd:

[Epic 4G General] tigerknight:
So long as it's an expected reaction from my system, that's fine. It's the first time I've done this sort of thing to my phone, so please forgive me for being a little gun shy :]
[Epic 4G General] blu9987:
Note that the Hacked hotspot app here requires a deodexed rom which you don't have.

You'd have to use

wifi-tether: here

wired-tether: here
[Epic 4G General] tigerknight:
This worked like a champ - got nervous at first because it just sat there staring at me and it took me a minute to read ALL the text on the screen where it says to reboot the phone and try again if it did that. Second attempt went flawless and so now I am assuming I have CWM on my phone.

Now what? CWM just enables the ability to grab root and is not root itself, correct? Should I grab a hot-spot app now (which one is recommended? the links provided by blu9987 go to a distro directory with various flavors) from the market place? Do I still need to install some root app like Super User?

-edit-

A quick market search turned up this: https://market.android.com/details?id=android.tether

The only requirements are a rooted phone and a netfilter enabled kernel - which I imagine it is.. 2.6 linux kernels usually have it as part of their default module set, but that's for desktop linux - not sure about my phone.
[Epic 4G General] malcolmXman:
You can use that, or a newer beta version which you won't find on the market, or use open garden.
[Epic 4G General] tigerknight:
I am trying it out because of the large number of votes and high rating. My only issue now is that it says tethering is up and running but I can't see it.

Trying to figure out how to enable ad-hoc mode instead of infrastructure and see if that makes the difference.
[Epic 4G General] tigerknight:
Is there a non-adhoc wifi hotspot app, by chance? Looks like if I want to use ad-hoc I will have to root my xoom, too.

Trying to find methods to do that which will preserve my xoom data too but if there's an infrastructure mode hotspot app I will happily use that instead.

-edit-

Now I see what blu's link was referring to. In digging around online I came back to it and it's more clear now what it is and which to use. Here's hoping it works for my epic and not just for the EVO.
[Epic 4G General] blu9987:
If you're talking about wifi tether it should work on the epic (atleast it did on eclair). In the version 3 in settings you can select "Samsung Epic" from the device menu too.
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
Run the one-click which will give you root and then download wifi tether from the market

Jeez you guys are making this seem so complicated. Wtf does he need odin for? All he wants is root and hotspot. He doesn't even need a new kernel.

Not dove knee deep into source but I am thinking aloud. Tapatalk has a default signature for example:

Posted from my (whatever) using Tapatalk

So, here is the question.. I have a small annoyance when uploading from my A500. From facebook, Youtube.. doesnt matter as it seems to be core based but here we go...

When uploading the default message is "Uploaded from my Android Phone" and to be honest it bugs the hell out of me. So is there someplace that can be edited or modded so it says Tablet or A500?

Hi

I've released a new free wallpaper onto the android market (link in my signature). I've only been able to test it on a couple of devices and was wondering if someone could test it on the SII?

Feedback is always welcome and if you like it, a positive rating and/or comment would be most appreciated.

Cheers,

Paul
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] nraudigy2:
Works on Galaxy S2.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pphillips001:
Excellent. Thanks (and have 'thanked' buttoned).

How's the speed? Is it smooth enough? The Desire got a bit laggy on the large text size. Does the SII still suffer?

Cheers,

Paul
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] nraudigy2:
Galaxy S2 doesn't lag on any live wallpaper for me. I have tried like 15 of them so far.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] nraudigy2:
It does lag when moving text around on large font if you meant by that. Moving/swiping home screen has no lag, weird.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pphillips001:
The wallpaper has a managed frame rate for battery/performance trade off - so it being a bit laggy is to be expected at its default setting.

I am curious if setting the FPS to 40 makes this better?

Thanks again,

Paul
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] nraudigy2:
40fps or 10fps is same for me. The lag is only millisecs, so it's not that bad.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pphillips001:
Thanks again for checking. You're a star.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] dyallo:
Nice idea!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Major_Sarcasm:
Nice LWP. The option to set a custom background in the free version would be nice. Some customisable fonts for the pro version perhaps?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pphillips001:
Glad you like it! Great suggestions. I'll look into it.

Thanks,

Paul
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamamp:
I have been looking through different radios to flash and I just have a question. Some of the "PG05IMG.zip" files I have found only include 1 radio. Others (like the ones I find for the OTA update) include both the CMDA and LTE radios. If the PG05IMG.zip file includes both radios do I need to extract them and place them into their own PG05IMG.zip files and flash them separately or do I just go with that one file that includes both?

I am learning about RUU and radio versions right now so I'm getting all the numbers jumbled up. I had planned on the newest OTA radio as it should be stable. Is there another I might have better luck with? Could anyone, and I might be pushing it here, possibly link what they believe to the best the most stable radio out right now for a Gingerbread ROM?

I have flashed a new ROM but I haven't tried the radio before and I'm terrified of bricking my phone so I'd better ask the pros. :)

Thanks so much and I'll be perusing the threads while I await your wisdom!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctinsley:
Installing the latest leaked ruu is probably your best bet. It'll update you to gingerbread and it will also update your radios automatically.

Warning: if your rooted just make sure that you have a perminate s-off hboot, there are threads already on that so I won't go onto that, but with out you'll loose the ability to get root again.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ILMF:
Good advice above on the locked hboot. Do that first.

Radio performance varies from both the device and the area you are in. Reading the forums you'll see a wide variance in user experience. Don't be afraid to try different ones. I ran the leaked MR2 long after people had moved on because the latter leaks didn't work as well for me. I went to Chingy's leak, now on the 2.11 RUU.

Make sure you have enough battery when you flash because you could brick if your phone turns off mid flash. Check the md5 to ensure the file is good. Also once you flash and reboot, got straight to your SD and move the radio zip from the root of the SD.

Quick and dirty LCARS boot animation for the Transformer converted from an old lcars.net .avi.

Edit:

As requested, the audio that originally came with this animation is now attached, use it however you wish.

Place the unmodified bootanimation.zip file in your /data/local folder.

Outputs at 1024x768 (landscape). You can tweak the resolution via the desc.txt file inside the .zip, just make sure that if you do, when you put it back in the .zip after editing you *store* it, and do not compress it.

I made a .png version of this that looks cleaner, but it also turned out to be 50MB instead of 10MB... Such is life.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jwk94:
Hey guys, so i've been discussing etting new phones with my parents, and we've settled upon the LG enlighten for my mother since she's new to smartphones, doesn't need anything powerful and it's only $1 from wal-mart next week. I've decided upon the Xperia play, now this phone varies in price. From Verizon, it's $100, from Amazon, it's $.01, and from Tiger Direct, it's FREE.

So I want to get it online, but my father brought up one issue: the policy to return these items if it breaks is a 30 day time span (versus 1 year if bought through Verizon directly) , so i was wondering, is there something i'm missing with these online policies? Can I get them fixed/replaced by just going to verizon if i buy them online from these 3rd party retailers? And I can't seem to find Tiger Direct's policy, can someone help with that?

PS. How reliable is the Xperia Play? I won't be rooting for a good while, need to do some extensive research so i dont mess up somehow, but i will be downloading non-market apps, after i get a good virus protection software for the Xperia Play.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] siddharthsai:

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsswoosh:
Here in the UK we have Sales of Good Act some of which specifically applies to electronic goods.

Dont quote me, but it goes something like this -

First 14 days you are entitled to a refund from the manufacturer for ANY reason. (as long as it is undamaged ofc).

After 14 days and up to 3 years you can request a manufacturer refund or repair on faulty items, which is determined by manufacturers discrepancy.

After 3 years and up to 5 years you can request a manufacturer repair or replacement, which is determined by manufacturer discrepancy.

I used the law to replace a 4 year old LG monitor that had developed some dead pixels.. The LG guy came to my house, picked up the old monitor, gave me a replacement monitor (that was better than the one he took back btw) free of charge because i told them they had to by law.

Im sure laws in the USA will cover you for stuff like this, you just need to do some research.

Once you have knowledge of this, you will discover, just as i did that retailer warranties and extra guarantees are worthless and simply not worth paying the extra amount for nor worth worrying about.

Skip the retailer (unless you want to cancel your contract ofc) and head straight to the manufacturer if anything goes wrong.

I updated two of my contacts cellphone numbers last week. Today I switched from my S2 to Evo 3D for a few hours and realised those two contact numbers never really got updated on my Google account. I double checked on my S2 and it was clearly showing the updated numbers, and Google account was showing the latest sync date which was a few minutes old but for some reason the change wasnt visible in my Google account which is why it wasnt showing in Evo 3D. As an experiment I edited numbers of a few other Google contacts on my S2 and surprisingly again the change wasnt visible in my Google account. Then I made a new account on my S2 and only then was that new contact visible on Google. Later I edited a few more contacts and only a few of those were synced with my Google account.

Similarly making any change on Evo 3D immediately got registered with Google with no issues at all.

So can anyone tell me WTH is going on with S2? :S
