This happens if you open the keyboard in portrait, switch to landscape, and then have to backspace to correct a word. Rotate your phone to the landscape position first and then open the keyboard. Switching mid text will get you. It is an annoying bug.
[HTC Inspire 4G] smarspdx:
Thanks. Sucks that there's no fix for it yet or at least no one has replied yet to direct me to a fix. Its bothersome enough that I'll most likely need to switch sms apps.

[General Questions and Answers] Asadroid:
after being here... for a few good months, and having an xperia, and other devices.

i really started to like the idea of developing android, since im a Computer engineer i like this kind of things so my question is

how hard are the xperia and the samsung galaxy s captivate to develop?

how saturated are those devices and do you recomend them to develop?

also i want to go to develop custom roms and kenerls and suchs things

what i should know to start or any recomendation are welcome

thanks
[General Questions and Answers] Dark3n:
With 183 posts you should know how to use the search feature.

There is a thread on the same forum page as your thread that already deals with this question.

It sort of gets asked every week.

Just check the xperia or galaxy forums, see for yourself.

No one knows how good your ROM will be, if its good people will use it.

I don't think there are phones to recommend for making ROMs...

...there is no money if you mean that, you basicly just need a phone with an unlocked bootloader. In that case the captivate should do.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] frenetic:
This new gallery sucks like a vacuum. I didn't mind the old Blur gallery but damn this is a heap of excrement. Anyone find a good replacement? Am I missing something completely that would make this gallery not suck so hard?

Specifically: why are every single one of my images grouped into one folder to browse? This is impossible to navigate. I used to have FXCamera folders, stock camera folders, downloads, messaging, all that. Now it's lumped together in a mess.

Speaking of that, fxcamera doesn't download from market, but that's minor.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] smacinskyjr:
I use QuickPic from the market, its free and does exactly what you are asking for. I wanted the same as well.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] frenetic:
Well there we go. That's what a gallery should be.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] azshorty2003:
Yes I loaded up the gallery when I got the phone and got an instant rage face. Found Quickpic and love it.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] jpen:
Anyway to make quickpic open up from the camera?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Berzerker7:
Gallery 3D on the market. It's the AOSP Gallery exactly.

DVP does not fit. Another seller was selling the same product, and when I asked, they replied that it was a mistake and DVP does not fit.
[Venue Pro Accessories] hsukirk:
Thanks for the reply. I am a cradle kind of guy and still hunt for the right one.

Yea, with the USB conveniently positioned on the bottom (unlike the current trend of putting it at the side or top), the DVP is crying out for a cradle/dock!
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SeviStein:
Have you ever thought about swap on internal storage?

This would be 100mb for me, would it even be worth it?

Is it even possible?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Asycid:
Now the bootloader has been bypassed, so it is possible to have swap for X8. My suggestion is to wait for a good working kernel (as I see the developers working hard on it, so _maybe_ it will be ready at the end of the month), and then let the party begin :)
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SeviStein:
Oh I fully forgot about that, thanks :D

Now I'm definitely gonna buy a better Sd card (higher class and more storage)

Is there a case that fits with the inductive battery cover? I have the case/holster that has the built in kick stand (not the body glove one, but the one that will fit the extended battery as well) that is at Verizon stores. I had a semi rigid gel case but it wont fit the inductive charging cover. I really liked the look and feel of the case, plus I like how it protected the ends of the phone unlike the hard case that I have now.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] docabe:
Yes

I saw one at Best Buy yesterday. Black in color, under 20$. For standard battery. Can't remember the brand.

Nevermind. It was not for the inductive cover.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] smacinskyjr:
but will it fit with the inductive charging cover? Withe the charging cover the phone is a different shape, here in-lies the problem.

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Pyrocat:
Its just appeared on both the android market and the gameloft site on my phone. The gameloft site sells it for £3 and the android market for £4.99. Would both include correct optimization for xperia play controls? Anyone know? Also is it true that if I buy from gameloft site then change phone sometime I won't be able to redownload but I can if I get it from the market? Please respond soon as I'm itching to buy it :)

---------- Post added at 10:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:52 PM ----------

Ok I gave in and bought from Android market (in case I ever change phone) I'll find out the hard way if the controls work :)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] TLRtheory:
I loved Order & Chaos on iOS. I'll be buying it too, but first I'll keep peeled to see how you like the controls :)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] speedyink:
Its a ***** to get gameloft to send you the apks again. When I wiped my phone I asked them and they flat out told me I never bought the games. Luckily I realized I had the apks on my SD card still
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] 91ludesit:
The other issue is if you buy from the gameloft store, you can never use that apk on another android device. They are always tied to the device type. I learn that lesson the hard way. I had 6 games from them on my droid x, couldn't install a single one on my XP.

I'll never buy another gameloft game, or that BS from the ea flexion store.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Cat_On_Droid:
If you bought legitmently the game,just google deeper to retain :)

I used the XDA App to post this, what did you use?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] digitalpirate:
Just bought it on the market so I can install it on my Xoom as well.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] TLRtheory:
Wow, really? They've been good about giving me the latest APKs when I have an issue.

The purchase history section of their mobile store is unreliable at best, but when I provide proof of purchase (I ALWAYS buy through Amazon Payments so I have an undeniable source) they usually send me the APK... and have even given me free games to make up for issues I've had :\
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Pyrocat:
Ok I bought it from android market, the xperia play controls do not work and seems to be no option to enable them? I waited all this time to buy it too... Should have just googled for it ages ago eh...since gameloft spent so much time on NOT optimizing it.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] digitalpirate:
Wow that's lame I wonder if the game from the gameloft website is different?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] TLRtheory:
Funny; I was just wondering the same thing and bought it from the Gameloft Store based on that thought...

As a side note, I notice the Amazon Payments option is gone >_<, but on the plus side there's now an account system (and an e-mail notification upon purchase) so I have a more reliable system of seeing what I purchased. That was a VERY necessary change.

I'll report if my story's any different after the data download is complete. Right off the bat I don't see it in the Xperia PLAY Game Launcher... not a good sign.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] hairdewx:
I hope it's just an update issue and will be fixed soon.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] TLRtheory:
FFFF.... subscription expired... damn, it wasn't that long since I ditched iOS.

...anyway, I can't report anything because my subscription's up and the son of a ***** subscription service is down (apparently it's been down for days too).
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Pyrocat:
Awww.. was hoping to find out, if anyone else tests out the gameloft site's download of Order and Chaos on Xperia play can you let us know if the controls work? Its just touch screen which is ok...but disappointing....
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] TLRtheory:
Well, I've been questioning Gameloft on the issue, and from what they say - it may just be a bug (does Gameloft have a error testing staff? Surely someone is testing to avoid these major issues...).

Gameloft's good about giving away free stuff to distract us from issues... hopefully they'll just bump my subscription some months or something so I can find out if this is really Xperia PLAY Optimized... or at least play while I wait for a version I can play without (lame) touch controls.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] wired84:
Thanks mate, been waiting for a while - id always buy from the market, more resiliance in the long run!

We should all join a guild together, what server are you going on (i'd recommend the top one)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] hairdewx:
I don't have an account so I'll have to wait until the subscription service errors are fixed.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Pyrocat:
Thanks, ive emailed them too. I made a char on the European server, storm cape.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] antispiral:
Well I downloaded it and it seems fun but there is a lot of lag. Like when I cast a spell the animation and everything plays but the spell itself won't cast well after it's cast time. Also adding xperia play support would greatly enhance the experience as it's pretty annoying at times with the touch screen controls.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Pyrocat:
Did anyone try downloading from gameloft site? Is it optimized for xp play controls.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] hairdewx:
If new account services are back up I can try buying it from Gameloft tonight.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] xunero:
i bought and installed the game on my xperia play, but the controlls don´t work.

i send an email to the support and wait for an answer, i hope thats an bug ;)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] hairdewx:
I bought it directly from Gameloft's website and my controls do not work either. On the forums they said it was a bug, so hopefully they fix it fast.

In the meantime the touch controls aren't half bad.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] hairdewx:
Just an update, Gameloft customer care has sent me a new link to an updated apk that supposedly will fix the controller issue. I'll report back once I reinstall and re-download the game.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Pyrocat:
Got reply from tech support

Hello

Thank you for contacting Gameloft Customer Care

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Its the same version in both store, the game was released for touchscreen only at the moment, however our devs are looking into adding support for the pad.

Have a nice day. -------------------------------
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] antispiral:
That's weird how they send you a updated Apk, but email saying they don't support it. Can't make up their minds!
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] hairdewx:
I think Pyrocat purchased through the Android Market, while I purchased directly through Gameloft's wapstore, which may explain the difference in response.

The new apk they sent me is 1.0.3, which is the same version listed on the Android market and the same as the apk I purchased last night.

However, the new apk they sent me has quite a few binary differences, so while the listed version may be the same, the file has many changes.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] antispiral:
That's good to hear, does the game appear in the xperia play launcher?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Pyrocat:
Does the apk they sent enable controls? Yea I bought android market version.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] TLRtheory:
Well you got more outta them than I did. They're still batting me around with pointless questions ¬_¬... I look forward to hearing how the apk they gave you turns out.

NOTE: At least the subscription is *kinda* fixed now (I say kinda because I couldn't pay with credit card... after 5 times of typing in loads of info and getting *****-slapped with a "Transaction failed" screen, I just told 'em to add it to my bill... went through in seconds *eyeroll*)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] antispiral:
Any updates?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] hairdewx:
Bah even the new apk they sent me still doesn't work with the physical controls :(
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Pyrocat:
Damn, well its still good on touchscreen, hope they patch it asap.

Is this exactly like WoW? It looks interesting but I'm not that excited about playing a tedious MMO for hours at an end on my phone.. if I wanna do that I'll do it with a mouse and keyboard. Is that basically what it is or am I missing something?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] TLRtheory:
It actually is a REALLY great game.

I like it more than WoW... it's got a lot of the same qualities at a exponentially lower price commitment.

A $4.99 initial price, then $2.99 for 6 freaking months. That and it's a lot more 'mobile'.

I haven't made a video of it on Android yet, but here's a video of me playing it on my iPod Touch 4G:

[YOUTUBE]EEcQ2t30VDg[/YOUTUBE]
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] wired84:
yer it is the same kinda, but there are a few issues imo - there is no order vs chaos, its just order and chaos, can be in same guilds can PvP anyone etc, a bit silly imo, also it tends to be very solo centric, there aren't too many group quests and its quicker to xp solo in most instances, they have just brought in a dungeon so I expect that will change things a bit, its got a lot of potential, they just need to merge ios and android servers as well as differentiate the factions!

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] DeadlyDazza:
Bought, Gameloft store, no Xplay control.

Played a couple of hours using touch screen.

Enjoyed.

Play got very warm though & that was playing without charger plugged in.

Hate the way they make it a sub, but include freemium type payments for currency.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] zerojay:
The Xperia Play twitter account has announced that Order & Chaos now is available for the Play. Anyone that grabbed the market version can confirm that it is playable with the gamepad now?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] leidenhag:

I can't find it anymore on the market? Anyone else?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Pyrocat:
I got it from the market but since then I've noticed the description on supported devices doesn't have Xperia play on it anymore, but I can still see it listed on the gameloft site for download.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] hairdewx:
Going here

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftMMHM

It says it is compatible with my R800x Play, even though the description doesn't say it anymore.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] TLRtheory:
Now that's what I like to hear!
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] wired84:
Any update on whether the pad is note working with this game, seen its in the launcher now so would like to buy it but don't want to play with the touchscreen
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] DeadlyDazza:
No, not working, got a support email saying that Xplay support has been postponed.

(Not delayed, postponed!)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] SquareBare:
My main problem with the lack of xperia play support is that the skillwheel, more often than not, manages to trigger skills that aren't even being displayed.

Imagine if we could rotate the skillwheel by 3's with the trigger buttons and use the actual hardware buttons on the wheel, 3 at a time.

That would be pretty amazing.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] wired84:
Its been released as touch screen on the xperia play, why is it so hard to map some keys, or let is do it, seem stupid, i'm not sure what has been postponed
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] TLRtheory:
That's what's killin' me. I'm no pro, but I've quite a bit of experience with programming (even got an award, some good front-page newspaper press, recognition from the House of Representatives and a scholarship for it back in the day) and know for a fact that mapping actions from one control medium to another isn't tough stuff... especially with all the functions being pre-made.

I'd imagine the touch-pad would complicate things, but they've got loads of experience working with it - almost to the point in which they could rip and edit some of the touchpad-operation algorithms from Sacred Odyssey.

Even if they wanted to create a custom scheme (I'd personally opt for a wheel of actions tied to the X/O/[]/

/\

keys that you could sift through in pages by hitting L/R) then that'd take about 1 day tops to create, and less than 4 more to error-test, iron out issues and refine. A certain degree of modifying variables usually always has to take place when remodeling controls for a new platform, but still... that not something that takes weeks to get done.

It's really, really basic ****... add a alternate case trigger to a function... maybe a few boundary specifics for any keystroke combination limitations they want... that's not even 3 minutes (per function, not the whole job obviously) of work for an individual... for a dedicated programming team full of people more qualified (and hopefully more experienced) than I, it could get done far quicker than my projected time.

Then again... this could just be an episode of Gameloft being Gameloft. I love their games and have bought every single last one that they released on Xperia PLAY... but competence just isn't their strong suit.

They STILL haven't ironed out that issue in Eternal Legacy where touch-pad movement always goes in diagonal directions instead of allowing fluid, real 360° motion, which is insult to injury because they've got it right in so many other games they released for Xperia PLAY

before

Eternal Legacy... and they're still making unnatural-feeling aiming schemes instead of learning from Dead Space (sometimes, their releases are below

their own standards

I love when people reply to a thread title without reading any of the content whatsoever!
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] hairdewx:
Whenever I have a project postponed its usually an administrative decision, usually to work with an outside company/vender/etc.

It's possible Sony Ericsson asked them to postpone support to wait for some sort of special launch time or day.

Then again postponed could also mean it will come out with the next major patch, rather than a small update...
