[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Mrakoris/:
BacchusFLT,

You can update from gingerDX 017 up to 021b, if you installed (V017) the nAa kernel version. Just flash kernel and flash new gingerDX 021b. If you have stock kernel's version--> you have to flash kernel, flash gingerDX 021b and full wipe/factory reset.

Sony Ericsson's servers can be overloaded like every other server. To solve this problem, it is necessary to wait some time and try again. Optional you can use SEUS. The screen must be black, while restoring your x10 mini/pro, so if you have Sony Ericsson's logo appeared->it is impossible to restore it. To get correctly to restore mode, you must have switched off phone(watch picture)

Hope it helps.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] BacchusFLT:
Dear Mrakoris,

Many thanks for the patience.

First: SEUS did the trick for me. I tried multiple times with some time in between but the Companion complained about overload all the time. SEUS downloaded fine, and I cann't understand why that would work if Companion didn't - the only load on servers would be to fetch the files, and SEUS could fetch it with no problems.

Second: So, reset with the USB cable in and pressing back did work for me, and letting SEUS force install on top of the current installation. Now I am back with vanilla 2.1.1A.0.6, Kernal 2.6.29.

Again, many thanks!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] icerebro:
I had this problem long time ago, but it happened because I tried to flash the rom even knowing my baseband was different, so my phone stuck on SE logo and restart in an infinite loop..

Luckly I had Xrecovery installed, so I mounted de SD card, and I can explain how, pc companion recognized the phone and I could restore it to the original rom.

So is a little complicated if u dont have xrecovery or CWM I think...
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Milenko2121:
I got an upgrade available to get a play for $50, and I'm wondering how great they are. I've been getting annoyed at the touch screen controls for gaming, and want a controller finally.

However, I'm worried as to how smooth, responsive, and great the graphics are with psx emulators or games like GTA3.

My Atrix is unlocked, rooted, and running CM7.

I saw quadrant scores at ~1700 with xperia play and got worried seeing as I score ~3500 no problem, and with Antutu the Atrix gets much much higher scores than the play especially in 3D and CPU.

Does anyone have experience with both phones and can give me some ideas as to how they perform against eachother?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mael5trom:
with the exception of the screen, the play is going to be slightly slower/worse in most respects, mine generally doesnt lag, but it happens on occasion, the tegra2 gpu is not much better than whats in the play, so gaming wise its not far behind the atrix. the browser is ok, but im expecting a big boost to usability on that front when we get ics with hw acceleration. As a phone, the play is pretty good, not amazing, but it gets the job done.

It really comes down to the hw controller, yes, theres plenty of phones out that are better than the play, but if u want to play a game, i would take the play, every time. playing things like sonic cd, or super metroid, mario 64, crash bandicoot, etc etc etc(i have about 6k+ games on my phone, ranging from nes through to n64 and everything in between almost) the play dominates the competition, 99% of those games play and feel as good or better than they originally did to play....and that in itself is amazing, and its not just emulators the games on the market are very often xplay optimized as well, its kinda suprising given the plays relatively small market share just how many are actually optimized for this little unit.

i bought mine for $450 outright with the option of an sgs2 at about $550, maybe 6 months ago, and do not regret the purchase, ive used a few sgs2's and whilst nice, good luck playing a game an enjoying it, im not sure what im gonna do if they dont end up releasing a play 2....
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] speedyink:
Couldn't have said it better myself :p

Although I can say that GTA runs fine for me. I'm not sure how it runs on the Atrix, but on the Play it runs pretty much the same as the PS2 version
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clienterror:
Upgraded from an unlocked 1.3 OCed Atrix I like my play much better. Most apps are written to work on 600—800 MHZ single cores so basically the second core doesn't do much. And most "tegra exclusive" games have ported to other phones and run 100% smooth (beat GOF2 two months ago)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Milenko2121:
How did GOF2 perform with the graphics and framerate? Did it look the same?

Also, how good is the responsiveness on websites, flash, streaming YouTube, Netflix, and texting in general?

Also, are you able to use the SD to install apps? That's one big thing I don't like is storage space.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Krislawl:
My xperia play is extremely responsive in the internet browser and pretty much any other app that I use. I upgraded from an OG droid like a year ago and the xperia play felt incredibly fast. I just overclocked my xperia play to 1.6ghz now and it's even more fast. PSX emulation's performance is to the point where it feels as if it were made for the xperia play; the games just work flawlessly with the game pad. I have grand theft auto 3 also and it plays really smooth.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Milenko2121:
How are things like YouTube and flash based sites? Also any experience with Netflix?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rogue Leader:
Mine is bone stock and not overclocked and runs Youtube and Netflix perfectly, in HD.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Milenko2121:
Very nice hearing that.

I still need to figure out if there's a way to use my 16gb as card for app storage because I have roughly 10gbs of apps/games on my phone.

I'd use up that 400mb in a second.

Also, can I adjust the PPI or resolution to match that of the Atrix since the screens are the same size?

Is there any video out for gaming on a TV?

Overall, I'm probably going to get it and sell my Atrix, I'm just trying to plan for it since my biggest problem is that memory issue. Going from 16gb internal to 400mb is a rough one for me.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Krislawl:
I have like 76 apps and the majority give you the option to put most of the app data on your sd card. i have 182mb internal free space with all these apps, but I did remove all of the stock verizon apps too
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozzmanj1:
I used titanium backup to force move a majority of my apps to the sdcard. Have over 300 apps and still have around 180mb of free space. Have my phone overclocked to 1.2 and it just flies. I am running the Verizon stock Tom minus all the crapware they put on. Great phone, love it. Games like shadowgun, modern combat 3 are all smooth and awesome to play.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sniper Spr3e:
the xperia play is a great phone

but i see it as if you have to consider the benefits of a xperia play over another phone then the xperia probably isnt for you. most people will instantly see that the hardware controls are its selling point and buy it for that. to use for emulators mostly.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Milenko2121:
Just tried out a xperia play today, I'm going to buy one. They got a sale right now that its free with a 2 year contract. It was smooth online and the launcher was awesome. I tried asphalt 6 on it and compared it to my phone in HD, and I couldn't notice the HD difference, but it ran perfect.

Ill be buying it next week and selling my Atrix for $200 so basically I get 2.5 months free :p
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rogue Leader:
You can use a stock Motorola 16 gb SD on this phone, it comes with an 8. I just swapped them between my Droid and this when I got it. However you're better off buying a Sandisk 32 GB class 4 card if you want the best performance.

There is no video out.

You also cannot adjust the screen resolution unless you root the device.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryballs:
I find it amazing that a phone with a gamepad doesn't have a video out..

Galaxy on Fire plays pretty well... I'm midway through it, and I've had my share of action with lots of ships and all around shooting and what not, and the Play delivers flawlessly.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Milenko2121:
Just got my play, the thinner screen is taking some time to get used to.

Right now im bored because im not unlocked yet. Still gotta pay that guy $25 to get it done.

How about posting in the tutorials asking for help instead of doing that here? In your device forum maybe?
[Off-topic] CRACING:
Be aware. Its not so easy as you might thought. you will endup bricking the device if some goes wrong. Even though android devices won't get brick easy but you will have knowledge to unbrick either.

Been working in windows mobile development since 3 years and I just got a android phone (desire) and I still find hard to understand android. Its complex!

FYI, go though text guides rather then video guides. :)

Thanks...

[Nexus S General] cllangfo:
I have a minor bug in ICS (Stock 4.0.3 - UCKE1 Radio - ICUP Kernel). When I connect my phone to my computer and select "USB connected" this triggers the screen to turn off. When I turn the screen on again it's where it should be with the Turn on USB toggle. It only seems to happen when I'm trying to access the notification menu from the lock screen (slide lock), however, it works fine from the home screen. Wondering if anyone else is experiencing this.
[HTC Sensation] goldenarms7:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voxigenboy:
so just to be clear, if we go into the store and use one of those payment kiosks we wont get the $2 charge right?

and to think you guys we're trying to make me feel bad about using 50gb/month.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Codiusprime:
A convenience fee is actually pretty common when paying bills online or over the phone, in my experience they've been closer to four dollars. That doesn't make it right by any stretch of the imagination though, frankly I'm surprised it has taken them this long.

Also misleading title is misleading as the linked article says they might enact a convenience fee.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yoyohere2:
Good. These ppl should be charged $2.

Any one else can continue with free options like autopay or pay by check.

Makes no sense why that's good. They're just asking to be occupied. Well, within the rules of course, to pay their bills in store. Occupy nonetheless.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
Guys. No one cares because all of you are going to continue to pay your bills every month, whether you use one of the new options to not be incurred with the charge or you just eat the charge.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tidbits:
Auto bill pay for me since they started it. I never had a problem. Never understood why more people don't use that option.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aindow:
It's common practice in the UK for companies to charge up to £5 for customers who choose not to set up a direct debit to pay their bill. I guess it's catching on in other parts of the world too
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] killyouridols:
^ WHS ^

Practically 90% of My bills, Inc Insurance, BT, Sky Ect. all charge a fee if you choose not to pay Direct Debit.

TBH I pay the fee because living in the UK, They will take as much as they see fit at random intervals as most Companies are either usless/thieving

Welcome to our world! ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
Yup same. Many places charge a convenience fee if you don't auto pay or use an e-check. Colleges even do it but its a percentage...which blows. 3% sounds fine until you remember you're paying $4k a semester...$120 extra is not a small fee just because you don't autopay.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] C-4Nati:
Hello, I am by no means a noob, but I just joined verizon from t mobile and have a galaxy nexus straight out the box. First off, what is this MTP thing? I'm on linux and now I don't know how to put music/photos, and transfer them to my phone, is there anything like usb mass storage as i see this MTP only works on windows? also I've searched and searched because I kno xda hates answering answered questions lol but I can not find a guide for rooting on linux and is there really any benefit to rooting at this moment? Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] C-4Nati:
Any help is appreciated
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
MTP should work on linux.. Google Android File Transfer.. it's the app we have to use on macs to transfer files. There is no USB mass storage
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] C-4Nati:
Thank you for the reply but nothing pops up on my computer when I plug phone in like other android phones :/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] C-4Nati:
But anyways I'd really appreciate a Linux version of unlocking the boot loader and rooting the Verizon gnexus please.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] C-4Nati:
Actually I've been reading tutorials and stuff, and with this new MTP that they have implemented in ICS it brings nothing up on my computer and since what people were saying as far as check "device manager" to see if the computer recognizes the phone, I have no idea how to see if my computer does that.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jdbaker82:
The answer was in front of our eyes the whole time ladies and gents and I can hardly believe ASUS let it slip past them before it was too late and they just shipped them out anyway instead of having a "real delay".

GPS signals simply cannot penetrate the all metal design of the Primes casing (also the reason for the weaker WiFi signal with your basic in home routers that your laptops and other electronics have a stronger signal strength then the prime). If you have a TomTom or a Garmin go ahead and put them in a metal box and tell me how well they work. If you look at the design of the I pad it has a plastic window and or other tablets with GPS ie Galaxy they have a plastic case this explains the eventual locks to satallites and then drops its because the signal is so weak in the first place.

I will be returning my Prime and wait for the new designs that ASUS is probably working on as I type it would have been nice if they could have let us know but it is what it is.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stormwyrm:
After going on a little road trip and nearly getting lost, I realized just how slow the GPS on the TF101 actually is. I could never get a GPS fix while inside a moving vehicle, when my HTC Desire was able to get one in a matter of seconds. As it was, I had to use OsmAnd on the Desire to find my way to where I needed to go, and had to suffer through the tiny screen on my phone which made it hard to pinpoint locations. Once I got to where I was going I tried to test the GPS on the Transformer again, and it took almost a minute to get a fix while I was stationary with a clear view of the sky. Pathetic.

I would have wanted to use the bigger screen to display the maps: it would have made navigation a lot easier. Now I'm wondering if there's a way to get my phone to relay GPS information to the Transformer, as its GPS is a lot more reliable, and have the Transformer display the maps based on the relayed GPS info. I've been looking around for apps that could conceivably do this but so far no luck.
