[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xrishox:
if they don't make a new version of this phone with an unlocked bootloader I will be very displeased... :( and i will be forced to use this phone until the end of time.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmcliam:
Ive heard of a 3d xperia play in production.dont know if this is true but I know xperia play will continue.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noojster:
1st of all, I love this phone..

but For me, the brew of a single Core 1Ghz + a dedicated graphics chip is far better than those dual-core stuff going out in the market today. Improve the concept and Xperia play will continue to trash any other competing gaming smartphone out there as far as gaming is concerned, but being a phone, its good but not the best.

If there's going to be an Xperia play 2, it might as well improve the smartphone aspect as the gaming is already intact, certain improvements I can point out is the camera which they can further improve, the Mobile Bravia Engine is great but they might as well put this feature on 100% of the device's display not just on photos and videos.

Major improvement would be increasing the RAM and the internal storage and beating up that AMOLED displays of Samsung's, increasing the display size and putting the L1 and R1 on its side and the L2 and R2 on the slide down pad(can you picture what I mean? :) ). If XPlay is playstation certified then they might as well live up the feeling of owning a Playstation.

Emulation eh? Did you ever try to play Final Fantasy 7 on Xplay? Controls are great, display is great, everything is fine display-wise. But have you heard the sound? Compare it to your own PS experience and youll automatically notice that Xplay lacks the sound it should have. One thing Xplay 2 is expected. It should have better sound chips or whatever.

For those hardcore gamers, I know one thing that crossed your mind when youve 1st played thru XP

"HEY! I WANT THIS PHONE TO BE A SUPER DEVICE ESPECIALLY FOR GAMING AND WANT TO SAVE AS MUCH GAMES ON MY SD CARD, OR EVEN OWN 2 OR 3 SD CARDS FULL OF GAMES AND OTHER MEDIA! "

but here's what you noticed

"BAH forget it, I need to remove the back cover each and every time!!!!"

Sometimes I wish the SD card compartment could be easily unmounted outside the cover and be an easy push-in and out type. So that changing SDs can be easy.

And HDMI out would be lovely too right? I wish the developer units of the original XP kept its HDMI concept to the sold units.. so that when youre at home, why not have a larger display!

So thats about it.. In terms of processors and cores and stuff, they might as well put in a single core 2Ghz and some badass new graphics chip :)

*i just wish some dude from SE reads this about XP 2 lol :D *
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Techdread:
Nice thread, I hope there is an Xperia Play 2 & I hope they wait till the end of next year at the earliest to get quad core optimised right.

Changes needed to be a success.

1. Increase the unboard flashRam 16gb min.

2. Quad Core. not Tegra 3 (poor GPU, rushed job again)

3. Better Controls, add thumbsticks.

4. 8mp Camera.

5. HDMI capable.

Do that, then I would be happy.

As for posters saying that multi cores make's no difference, please read up on the Android OS.

http://www.anandtech.com/show/5072/nvidias-tegra-3-launched-architecture-revealed/1

"The increase in clock speed and the integration of MPE should improve performance a bit over Tegra 2 based designs, but obviously the real hope for performance improvement comes from using four of Tegra 3's cores. Android is already well threaded so we should see gains in portions of things like web page rendering"

And look at the load balancing Video for visual proof.

The Xperia Play is still a very good phone & still the best for games.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Growling Clover:
The NGage had a sequel and that was poo poo, so I hold put hope of an XPlay2

Would be cool if they added a second SD card slot so one would be for apps / general phone stuff and one just for games.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Geeve:
They would better make a Xperia Play Tablet, which would come with a controller.

That would be awesome!
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Alpha Gamer:
The only things I think a sequel needs is:

Bigger memory

L2 and R2 buttons

Slide pads instead of touchpads

and enough power for PSP and PS2 emulation (A)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thatsupnow:
Change the touch pads to the little sticks like on the psp go, instead of volume button put the l2 r2 buttons in that place, and volume on other side by the usb input, obviously more memory (RAM and storage) dual sd card slots, bigger better screen, dual/ quad core CPU 1.5/2.0 ghz. If they ever did decide to make a 2nd play they might as well make it so that no other company would even dream of making a competitor
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
And here is new information. Apparently the Xperia Play 2 is in the works. Looks like all the rumors about it being cancelled so it doesn't affect Vita sales are false.

I hope there are some leaks soon :)

SE North America President confirms CES presence; further iterations of Xperia PLAY
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Logseman:
Crap, I see myself waiting until the successor comes and then paying the sucker premium... If it has proper analog sticks I'm so picking it up I will be camping for it in advance.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TDMaster:
not nessacary have to be Tegra cause ARM and Qualcomm also got Quad core plans so any of them would be great...

even through i prefer Tegra too :)

as long as we can emulate PSP and PS2 :D:D
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Geeve:
Yup, waiting for XPlay 2, which certainly will be thinner, lighter and have a better design, with dual core and 1 GB of RAM, 8MP camera with 1080p filming, Android 4.0 and better PlayStation buttons (it would be awesome if they replace the analog touch buttons with analog sticks).
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silvacrest:
wow.....some actual confirmation, just give it a dual core, more ram, moar internal storage and physical nubs and i will buy it on day one

if it got announced at CES 2012 that would be even better
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rogue Leader:
This is great news....

Except since the original kinda bombed on Verizon... I hope they actually have the phone for sale there. They are by far the best phone service (actual phone service, as a company they suck), I'd hate to have to change.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thatsupnow:
Of course they bombed on verizon they were the only cdma phones in a sea of gsm versions and dev is more of a PIA! Nobody wants that
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nextron:
U crazy guys? Another Xperia PLAY would be just confusing. Why a new Xperia PLAY? You want a gaming phone or a portable console? When the answer is #2 then get yourself a PS Vita then. I think it's not possible, not this year - 'cause SE is now Sony, so why a new Xperia PLAY if they want to sell their NGP (PS Vita) which is Sony branded too ? I hope they won't...
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Logseman:
The Xperia Play has shortcomings, but the concept is good. I think it deserves a second spin to see if they fix the issues.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Growling Clover:
I got rid of my PSP in anticipation of getting the XPlay. Vita looks great but if I had a choice I'd rather Sony make a more powerful XPlay 2 rather than a new portable console

brought to you by the XDA app on my badass Android toy
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rogue Leader:
This makes no sense. Verizon promoted it well it seemed but it just didn't sell vs any other Verizon phone. It seemed like corporate wanted it out there but in the store it was almost hidden. When I bought mine, they had one in store, the only one they ever had according to the guy who worked there.

As for dev for CDMA vs GSM that has nothing to do with it, its just different cell hardware and has nothing to do with developing apps for it.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Logseman:
It does when the source code for CDMA models (which all in all sport different hardware) isn't released (and will likely never be).
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Alpha Gamer:
Except the Vita is big and bulky, has no phone function, has worse gaming function and has like only 1 good game announced so far.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thatsupnow:
Well I wasn't really talking about apps and stuff like that obviously they'll be able to develop apps for the damn thing I'm more or less talking about custom roms/ kernels etc and the fact that the source code will never be released puts quite a damper on the development of that kind of stuff
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rogue Leader:
Except that the group of people that this matters to is a TINY percentage of the market. 98% of people who buy a Play or any other Phone use it as it comes out of the box. The ability for a device to be rooted does not make much difference in sales.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 216Monster:
I don't think any carrier did a good job marketing the Xplay though. Every person who has seen my phone, Did not know what I was talking about. But I do hope they make an Xplay2 because this phone has been awesome.

Sure theres the No dual core problem I see a lot, but honestly did it really matter? It feels like the fast an peppy at stock 1024mhz. Then there's the Low memory, ok, but droid 1 had even less memory and look how good it did, sure you can argue droid 1 was just first of its kind but there's plenty of people who still bought an Xplay anyway right? An I'm sure plenty of people who will never use the stock space entirely and plenty who wont root and will never get that extra space.

Honestly the phone is more then good enough and perfect for the "mainstream" world of smartphone users, the 98% who will never root.

As for the rest of us , the other 2% , we can argue it has flaws an strengths all day but that's why we are on Xda. Because we want a higher power and we don't settle for the "normal" we root hack and destroy big cooperation barriers all day so of course nothing is ever good enough for us :) its still a great concept that made me want it and even the name was catchy I mean cmon"Xperia Play" ? It struck me as being short for "xperience playstation" wether or not they thought of it like that idk I'm still excited for an Xplay 2 one day.

the phone wont turn on anymore!

what to do?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gigeaky:
one of the most important things: can you get into download mode? Vol up + Home key + Power?

if you can then flash a stock rom using odin ;-) you will find everything you need around here... use this and Stock I9000 and I9000M Firmwares collection folow these instruction and you'll be ok

[EVO 4G General] nanstedt:
I know this is a known issue but I wanted to see if anyone has had any luck yet.

My phone only gets to the HTC Evo splash screen and reboots. I can get into hboot and when i choose recovery from hboot it goes back into the boot loop.

This just happened to me a few days ago. I went from MikG to Deck to CM7. I just flashed CM7 over Decks 1.3 wiping only cache and dalvik. I was starting to really dig CM7 and I was planning on sticking with it. When it happened I was using the stock web aplication. I finished reading the page I was on and hit the back button (the one at the bottom of the phone) and next thing I knew my phone started rebooting. It never made it past the Evo splash screen since. I've been able to flash different hboots and it takes but it does not take any of the recoveries or RUUs. Has anyone had any luck with this yet? Or does anyone have any different advice with the extra info I have provided?

To reiterate I cannot get into recovery only hboot.

Thanks a ton in advance all.
[EVO 4G General] atapia984:
Try getting this:

http://goo-inside.me/amon_ra/supersonic/recovery-RA-supersonic-v2.3-PC36IMG.zip

To thee root of your SD card and then boot into HBOOT to load it.

Make sure it is named PC36IMG.zip

You may be missing your recovery.
[EVO 4G General] nanstedt:
I appreciate the link but my issue is that I can flash the recovery files from hboot but to my dismay I still cannot get to recovery from the recovery selection within hboot. There seems to be an issue where hboot hands the reins off to recovery or android. I'm not sure how to troubleshoot or overcome something like that. Maybe my assumption is wrong but who knows.
[EVO 4G General] HipKat:
You don't have to go into recovery to flash a pc36img. It happens in Hboot.

In theory, you should be able to flash that, then flash recovery.
[EVO 4G General] nanstedt:
Is the link provided not Amra recovery? That is what it looks like to me, but I could be wrong. Please advise. I can flash the recoveries in hboot but when i go to recovery from the hboot screen and select it the boot loops commence.
[EVO 4G General] HipKat:
Unfortunately, that is a problem that you can search and see a fair number of people have had and I don't think anyone has fixed it as it means bad blocks and/or something to do with partitions being resized and I hate to even say this, but all but a very few cases were running CM7
[EVO 4G General] nanstedt:
Yes, i've noticed that. I was hoping that since it had been a while that someone had found a solution. Hopefully a dev will chime in and give some steps that I haven't taken yet.
[EVO 4G General] jerrykur:
I hope you hear something. Mine is exhibiting a similar behavior. Maybe time to trash this phone or at least flash it back to stock so I can take it back to Sprint.
[EVO 4G General] nanstedt:
I wish i could flash it back to stock so i could use it again. I paid $200 for this thing. I'd like to get a few more years out of it. Nothing like the OG. I've tried running the RUU files from windows while in hboot and the files do change as I flash different versions. I noticed this when during the ruu program it shows you the from/to screen. So I know the RUU programs are working, it's just that the hboot recovery/ROM handshake is not happening. I guess I'm hosed ATM.

Hi Folks!

Would like to request that the stock mail app be modified so that the screen lock password policy being enforced be disabled.

I have seen on other forums that this is possible and has been done but not with the SGS 2 stock maill app.

Anyone?

Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Monk4Life:
There is a modified aosp email.apk you can find it if you search google. Just rename your old one to email.apk.old incase you want to revert back. Use root explorer and copy the new one to system/apps. Give it the same permissions as the rest and then reboot your phone. This is what I have done and it bypasses the exchange security. But the password lock being required is actually a setting that your exchange administrator has turned on. It would be difficult to modify the stock touchwizz email and get it to bypass security so this would be your only option.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] happily1986:
1.) Root your phone and install root explorer. Try to deodex your ROM first. I tried on odexed stock ROM and it still works fine.

2.) Install whatever launcher you want.

3.) Do a Nandroid backup (Just in case)

4.) Go to /system/data and delete away touchwhiz30launcher.apk (and its odex file)

5.) Go to /data and find your installed launcher. it should be com.something

6.) Move using Root Explorer to location of touchwhiz30launcher.apk

7.) Long press on your new launcher.apk and set permission to rw-r-r (important! if not you will end up with a bootloop)

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PghPittViper:
I could not find my answers to these questions so I will ask here.

Although I have managed to muddle through flashing to a couple of roms, the soft bricked my captivate <currently waiting on jig cable from ebay>, I now, while searching for methods to flash a fresh, stock froyo rom, have many different questions.

I don't know the different files to choose in odin under file selection, their extensions, or what the files do. I have looked for an in-depth odin toturial, but can't find it.

Can you tell me, or point me to the threads, the following...

1. What are: PIT, PDA, PHONE and CSC files? I should not have been trying to flash anything without knowing this. What does each file do? I have never tried to flash anything but a tar file using the PDA input. Now I realize I dont' understand what i'm doing.

2. Given the above question, how DO I flash a soft-bricked captivate back to life once I get into download mode? At this point, I have no idea what files I need or where to get them, or the order to flash them.

3. Noobiest question of all: how do I understand the nomenclature for all of the downloads like: ...XXJ**...? Have no clue what I need.

Thanks,

Viper
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
PIT (partition information table) is its own little file to repartition your phone. 95% of everything goes in PDA (whole roms, kernels, bootloaders etc) CSC and phone aren't used as much and I honestly don't know what they are so you got me there.

Soft brick is easy, just get back in Download mode and flash a stock rom (JF6, KB1, KB2, or any other leak firmware around (KF1, KH3, KI#, KJ#) The names samsung uses is based on year and month it was released with a number wich is just order it was made (I believe thats how they name it)

Edit: Found here UCJF6 is UC= United States Cingular, J=2010, F= June, 6 means it was the 6th in the month of june.
