[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozzmanj1:
I love emulators and have many on my phone. Nes, snes Genesis n64 neogeo cps1 cps2. This phone is awesome for emulators. If you love emus this is the phone. Rooting and unlocking is really easy. Trust me this phone may not boast top of the line specs, but I don't care. I love this phone.

My favorite games to play are:

Modern Combat 3

Shadowgun

Dead Space

BackStab

Grand Theft Auto 3

Sonic CD

Dungeon Defenders

These are just a few. I have way too many games on my phone to count them and thats not even touching the amount of emulator games.

If you get this phone I would recommend rooting it and removing all the bloatware, then using script manager run the V6 Supercharger (best thing I have done for this phone) and I only overclocked my phone to 1.2ghz just to give it a little bump. And flashing a SDcard cache size limit from 125hb to 4mb really made the phones accessing the SDcard much smoother (but this should be done on all android phones as Androids SD cache size is set at 128k) But this phone plays all those games just fine. I have not had any issues with Grand Theft Auto 3 or Fifa 12. Once I rooted and did those thing this phone just flies. Again... I love this phone. I have a PSP and have not touched it once since getting this phone, its got like 3 inches of dust on it.

Playing Onlive (with a good internet connection) is sweet with the Play's built in controller
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IE-coRe:
Yeah it is a cell phone. But it is not onle a cell phone it is THE psp phone that everybody dreamed of... It should be compareable to handehelds, not to other phones.

The Hardware of the Xperia Play is graet for gaming but the software sucks in that point. Dont understand me wrong, i love android. But for gaming the Xperia Play should have a gaming mode that opens in fullscreen and cancels all and i mean all backround progresses and runs games from that. It could look like the psp menu. Than it needs much better programmed games, wich are not so cheap and buggy and not made for touchscreen and just get ported. If sony is able to make this things true, the Xperia Play would be a real psp phone and could be much better than a hendheld.

I know i sound kind of angry with my Xperia Play and that is true, right now i hate it a little, and not only becouse its broken. If it stays i am really going to get a 3DS. And maybe sell my play...
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozzmanj1:
Agreed. Batman Arkham Asylum, Bioshock....
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rogue Leader:
No, it shouldn't.

Its a Phone, there is a ton of basic functionality that is required to be running all the time.

I don't want to miss calls and texts and calendar alerts because I'm busy smashing up Dr Robotnik in Sonic the Hedgehog. I like that it plays games, but i NEED it to be a phone, as does most everyone else. I also like that I can do those things, and then hop right back into the game I was playing.

Aside from the fact that while the savvy public like us would understand how that mode works, the rest of the public would freak out that playing games blocks the ability for calls and texts to get through.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swebosdev:
Where do you get psp phone from? Its a android cell phone with a playstation certified gamepad.

Thats it.

Thats all it ever was and all it ever will be. You hype it up so much just to disappoint yourself.

The xperia play is one of the best android based cell phone on the market. Who ever told you this was a psp should be shot in the face
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IE-coRe:
Hmm your are right with that... Maybe it could cancel every backround activity except sms and calls. But enoungh about what could be. Fact is that the play is nice but not perfect.:)

Its kinda a nickname that the play had before it was released. I have the Play now for 4 month now i wouldnt say that i am dissapointed. I does what it promises. I am just speking out what i feel right now.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amansth:
Just buy the 3ds. The 3d effect is very cool and the quality of games will never be matched by cheap android games.

Mario kart 7>any racing game available in the appstore, even real racing.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sicmadek:
Apple has some great games that i would like to play but with a 3.5" screen my fingers will cover half of it. Im just Not a fan of playing games on a small touchscreen. A gaming device with a physical controller and still has all the smarphone functionality. Thats what i want. If rooting and tweaking cures the few flaws of the play i can do that.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] number2301:
Nothing unusual as far as I can tell. Stock firmware, rooted with zergrush. I tried to take a video but I kind of need three hands and a better camera.

You'll just have to trust me and the others who've said the same. Several times during a match frame rates will drop to 1-2 fps for 5 seconds or so.

So even if you don't get it, it is something to be aware of for someone thinking of buying.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sfex3best:
The xplay is awesome man.

You can play just about any Ps1 game.

Any N64 game.

And recently they added OnLive support which pretty much works perfectly.

Ultimate gaming phone

And a pretty good mobile phone too.

can't wait for the xplay2 to come out.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sicmadek:
What is onlive?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnylim:
Just got the PLAY for 5 day, and im really enjoying it.

Im agree with some people here. PLAY is a cellphone, not a gaming device. Thats why im buying PLAY, because it was a cellphone, it fit for me, it can do everything i want,

high quality music, fast browsing, good camera, GPS, gaming, messaging and call ! .

Yes i have a bit lag or slowdown for some game, but it work back to normal after restarting the phone. But i think it not a big problem, even console sometimes have lag/ slowdown problem too.

My phone now have 43 optimized games and almost 8gb full of game cache, i think i will never go back to play 'angrybird like' game anymore, because im a gamer and it kinda lazy to play such game.

Same for the hardcore game, like SF4, DMC, or any console like game, if it not optimized for Xperia Play gamepad, i will never play it. i better stick to my XBOX or PS3, before it get me frustated and slap it to the wall. :D
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] number2301:
Well I've got a sensation xe right here which does none of those things, and runs a hell of a lot better than my Play.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
Why are you using the XDA App on your play then rather that your amazing sensation?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sfex3best:
Games like saints row the third, driver sf, street fighter ae and many more awesome ones.

So basically PC games on your mobile but you need internet.
[HTC Wildfire S] Swifti:
I've received a voicemail (I have the reel-to-reel tape icon). If I do anything in an attempt to listen to the voicemail (including dialling 901 as suggested) then my phone attempts to make a call, which ends about one second later, then the display locks and I have to enter my PIN number again.

I'm happy just to turn Voicemail off, as it has stopped working, but I suspect this will involve dialling 901, and then I'm back to square 1.

Any suggestions, or do I just wait for the voicemail to expire?

I liked this phone for the first three weeks, but now, with the "Low memory" problem and now this, I've passed into the "hopefully someone will steal it" phase...
[HTC Wildfire S] XDA_h3n:
I suspect it that your wfs can't read the settings from the sim to find out the voicemail/anwser phone. Haven't tested it, will report back if I have a problem.

Sent from my HTC Wildfire S A510e using the air.
[HTC Wildfire S] Swifti:
That was it. GiffGaff uses 443 (GIF) instead of 901.

Their help said to enter *61*443# but that didn't seem to do anything. Voicemail still said 901.

So I went into the settings and changed the Voicemail number to 443. It still said 901.

So I rebooted the phone. Now it says 443 and Voicemail works.

I'm left wondering which of my two actions fixed the problem, and if it WASN'T *61*443# then I wonder what that did?
[HTC Wildfire S] m1ndh4x8r:
voicemail is in your service provider in sim, not included in phone only emails are compatible with wildfire s. just tell them to email you than this voicemail.

I've got a SE Xperia X10 Mini Pro with the latest stock firmware, 2.1.1.A.0.6, and I'm having a bit of problem changing the framework-res.apk.

I'm using this method here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=849223 and it works just fine..until I try to change any XML files in the Layout folder. It doesn't matter what changes I make, even if I'm just changing the size of an image, the resulting app gives me all kinds of problems.

Once pushed, the Market force closes and I can't access any settings of any app's because that makes them fc as well. Using a working framework doesn't fix it, the only way to make my phone usable again is restore a nandroid backup..or reflash it via SEUS.

Anybody got any ideas what's going on?

Hi,

I have a problem with my phone. After installing Darky's ROM i received a signal problem. Now I hoped that CyanogenMOD would solve my problem. It didn't :(

So I am in the dark now, just wondering how I can fix my signal problem.

So this is what I see:

- Most of the time 1-2 stripes @ signal strength

- Every few seconds my signal strength goes from 0 tot 1-2 stripes (inside)

- When coming outside or I am inside small houses, I can receive a mobile network

- 95% of the time I cannot receive any connection to 3G

- 90% of the time it's saying: "Out of service, emergency Calls only"

- Strange thing is, Wireless doesn't seem to have any problems connecting to modems/routers

- My radio works perfectly

Can anyone help me with this issue? Is it solvable?

Information about my phone:

Model: SGS2

Modelnumber: GT-I9100

Have you tried flashing a different radio? How old is your SIM card? Some radios work better/worse with some ROMs. As long as your SD card is relatively new, I'd start with flashing a different radio and then reassess.

Anyone know witch Baseband update I would use for cellular one in Montana for mod update 6.5.3.1
[Milestone XT720 General] ruler1976:
I mean 6.3.5.3
[Milestone XT720 General] thejaycan:
Hi Ruler1976,

Did you get your phone from Cellular One? If so, I would recommend leaving the baseband they provided on the phone. I'm on T-Mobile and I've jumped between a couple different basebands I found in the forums for the XT720 and they've really made no difference in coverage or signal strength. Just my $0.02.

I didn't even know Cellular One was offering the XT720 until your post.
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
I haven't seen a Cellular One XT720 sbf/nandroid so I don't know

Do you have a nandroid of the original system.img?

yes : post/send to me (best)

no: Have you flashed a sbf?

yes : shucks (hopefully another Cingular One user's lurking)

no : Make nandroid of cust and post/send to me (possibly good enough)

Yes I got it from cell one it had a ultimobile froyo mod on it and it was rooted but it was super laggy I posted this when I was having problems with my internet and mms but it was an apn problem I got it fixed now so I have never changed the basebands I thought that they got changed with the rom and had to change it to get my internet working forgive me I'm a noob this is my first android but I'm loving it my wife hates it this thing gets me in more trouble cuz I'm always playing with it I guess she is just jelous

Ok, I am done pulling my hair out so maybe I can pay someone else to do this for me lol.

I want a Transparent Status Bar exlcluding the Clock / Battery .. All I want is Notificatons on left hand side and Signal/Wifi on the right hand side.

I have been trying to change framework to make it work but however all I can manage to do is either make it completely dissapear or change the color. I thought that I could atleast hide the notifications by making the battery and clock display transparent but when I do that it off centers the wifi/signal bars and just doesn't look right.

I however have not been succesfull at making the Bar itself transparent.

So, to sum it up. I will pay for someone to do this for me or willing to accept any and all pointers on how to accomplish this myself.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jivy26:
Systemui controls expanded status bar and everything except the battery. In systemui goto res/layout/ you can set dip of items to say 0.9999999 to hide it. Also colors.xml in res/values/

Yeah, I would think this is the right forum as its a Theme request.

Yes, transparent Notification Bar with just the notifications on the left and Wifi/Signal Icons on the right. No battery Icon or Clock.

Depends on how greedy you are lol. I don't mind paying for someones work but I am not rich either lol.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ssconceptz:
Ill look into it but I heard the transparent bar doesnt work on the home screen of TouchWiz so this may be your issue. I am looking to remove the AM/PM as in ICS so I can probably test this too.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] xKrisx:
@ Thegodfather

Sorry bout my signature. I did have the Skyrocket for a few days but took it back due to it being a major annoyance. The new APN's they use for the LTE Data plan is stupid and gave me more data issues then I care to touch on.

Will update as soon as I get out of this reply :)

@ Ssconceptz

I don't use TWiz currently do to this issue haha. I am using ADWEx because I can totaly hide the Status Bar but I don't care for doing that tbh. I played with Launcher 7 and its statusbar replacement but couldnt get it to work right after pulling things apart so trashed that project. I dug into some MIUI Framework but I can't even start to compare what they changed.

Is there a way to replace the StatusBar.apk from system with a customized version without it breaking somehting else.

Edit: Signature Changed :)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] xKrisx:

If I were you...I would flash MIUI, then d/l extended mod settings, flash it and you can swich the statusbar layout and it will be transparent....if your sold on having touchwiz i dont think it is going to happen for u. Everytime i tried i could never get it transparent. So im on miui....plenty of great themes too.

-In google folder at home screen, there is Youtube icon, but when i click it, it says "app is not installed".

-When I try to search market, there is no youtube app.

-When i go to 'm.google.com/youtube', it says my device is not supported. It is damn Galaxy Nexus, how possible ?

Anyone has idea how I can install Youtube app? By the way, i am from Turkey, can this be the reason ?

most of the download item can be found using a file manager which can be installed from the market, the you tube app can also be found in the systems folder.

using any file manager (i use androzip pro) leave the sd card and goto system/app/ you will find the youtube.apk app, just click on it to install.

I did what you said, but when i click youtube.apk at system/app/, there is no install button, just 'extract to' and 'send' are there. But if there is youtube .apk and .odex in my system files, doesnt it suppose to mean there is youtube app in my phone ?

By the way, in google folder at desktop, there is one Youtube icon with tiny green android logo. When i click it, it says "application is not installed". Any ideas how to make this icon work ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
press extract to

ignore it, it didn't work for me either, it did on my nexus s.

have you tried downloading from www.4shared.com with the in phone browser and install from there.

search for 'youtube apk'
