I wrote a similar piece, well really a review of OnLive on the PLAY the other day.

Its here:

onlivefans.com/reviews/2012/01/28/onlive-review-xperia-play-with-the-android-client/

(apologies, it would appear because I don't post often URLS are beyond my powers)
[Xperia Play General] sufy1000:
I still like the Xperia Play even though it has it's flaws. The games that have come out up until now have been very good.

GTA 3 and reckless racing 2 is awesome on the Xperia Play. ( I know there are more but just can't be bothered mentioning them )

But when the PS Suite will be officially released which will be in a couple of weeks:)

then you'll realise why we have the Xperia Play and how awesome it is !
[Xperia Play General] swebosdev:
Forget the emulators, thousands of old school games,

Forget the phone, gps, display and speakers,

A portable onlive with a built in gamepad is worth the price alone.

Who cares if sony brings out ports to psp games, onlive destroys psp games.

Im very happy i have this ridiculously awesome device
[Xperia Play General] Sniper Spr3e:
why are so many people desperate for a hdmi port i honestly dont get it fully.

case 1

video playback on a larger screen (ok this one makes sense) but hey you could copy it to your computer so its backed-up and then play it on a tv which is a better choice really unless your round a friends

case 2

play games on your tv screen - this really makes no sense to me if you have a full hd tv surely your better off playing on a proper console or have a pc connected and play proper games.
[Xperia Play General] sufy1000:
True. But the only reason i'd want a HDMI output for the Xperia Play is so that I can view my photos and videos on a big screen.
[Xperia Play General] poo-tang:
I agree our website has tested many devices with HDMI like our Asus Transformer and all Xperia 2011 range handsets with HDMI out and others even are plarc which we turned an arc into a play micro console. But in are testings none could upscale the screen to a reasonable quality (for game's and onlive), it looks so blocky and streched. Not to mention getting set up each time is so not as easy as pressing home on my ps3 controller. To sum it up hdmi out is cool but when you really going to bother using it. BTW the origianl post really intresting thanks for writing. :)
[Xperia Play General] Geeve:
Agreed with everything you said.
[Xperia Play General] hairdewx:
There are more uses - especially when traveling. Website browsing on a larger screen, music, youtube, netflix, Amazon prime video, presentations, etc.

My TV can connect to a webserver and stream movies directly, but only a few formats are supported.

I have a PC but I don't want to hook up a PC in my living room. Thing is too big and ugly. There are also times when I'd rather be on my couch than at my desk in my office.

When my wife replaces her Droid 3 I'm going to use it as a tiny media center box that I can connect to one of my HDTV's and it will be very easy to hide.

Setting up my ASUS Transformer Prime was as easy as plugging in the HDMI cable. It's truly plug and play. Connected my Xbox 360 controller and it was good to go with no set-up required.

As for game playing quality on a large HDTV, you can judge from my own video ;)

[Xperia Play General] julianpaul:
One of the biggest changes (whether positive or negative, only time will tell) Onlive is going to bring is that it can kill gaming piracy. And if they price it sensibly, and within everyone's reach, it will do so with much panache. What's the use of all the technological development of today if people actually have to steal in order to experience it. Forget the reasons behind the theft. It's about time a balanced system of content delivery and pricing is established and in such a way that most people don't even have to consider pirating to enjoy it.

About the whole hdmi debate, i was just reading an old post on some blog about a preview event sony had for some journos, and they had plays hooked up to TVs via hdmi. Why is it that even though it's technically possible, they find hard-cash paying customers worthy of that feature?
[Xperia Play General] poo-tang:
I dont have a prime and shadow gun is 1 game. can you say the same for every game you have. Plus i really was on talking about the xperia's the other 2011 range phones with hdmi are the same spec near abouts to play. If they made the play with hdmi out it would be the same as the other Xperias. Plus this thread was about onlive and that defo is bad looking on my transformer with hdmi. I will always pick my ps3 as a home console because the clean fps, no net lag.

Ps people with ps3 try the twisted metal beta on psn for the next month its crazy taxi/cod goodness badboy:)
[Xperia Play General] swebosdev:
Its called cloud gaming people. Get use to it because it is the future of gaming
[Xperia Play General] hairdewx:
Every game I've tried on the prime so far looks good through HDMI. Even OnLive is pretty good. Obviously if a game normally has a low resolution and no up-scaling, like PS1 games, it still has the low resolution but still looks good. Although, the OpenGL plugin for FPSE looks damn good and hi-res when it actually works for a game :)

I would fully expect the "Xperia PLAY 2" to be able to support 720p or 1080p HDMI out and have ICS or further. I would also expect the screen resolution to be an HD resolution. Judging future potential by looking at already released phones is not exactly how we should be looking at it ;)
[Xperia Play General] poo-tang:
Onlive is the best thing on small screen there is no point to it on a big screen. This is coming from someone that been with onlive from start and is a major big fan. Agreed this is the future!!!! watch out vita plays coming to get ya!!!:)

---------- Post added at 12:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:36 AM ----------

by the end of year we will have play2 and yes the 2012 range will be better. We tested a xperia S the other day and the hdmi seams to be ok.:)

PS what other games. We have f**k all games for tablets dont even know why i brought one, they look cool still.

If anything, the licensing issues with software companies may end up stunting cloud gaming growth for a while, though :(

Yeah there are definitely compatibility issues. There are still quite a few games that do work for my tablet.

[Xperia Play General] flat_steve:
Thanks for posting the link, that was a good read! I agree with the points you made, though of course this is only a 'version 1.0' of OnLive's Xperia Play client and as their first stab at it, it's pretty good. They've heavily hinted there'll be refinements to come, I suspect they'll get round the missing buttons issue by allowing you to tap the analogue pads like you'd do with a mousepad on a laptop.

Personally I get the strong impression that Sony have no intention of following up the Play any time soon, if ever. To their credit they keep plugging away at it, but Sony tend not to be reactive and are quite willing to play the long game.

I must admit I had forgotten about the impending Playstation Suite release, which I must have to admit is A Big Deal and does open the doors to another avenue of AAA titles. It's fair to say that the one thing the Play doesn't lack is lots of games, and you can't really ask for much more than that.
[Xperia Play General] Stevdoyle:
nice post

Nice post and it was a very good read. When i looked over your post i went straight onto the market and downloaded the Onlive app. I have tired a few trials and they have work very well.

The only problem i see with the onlive is, when i am using wifi at home it is perfect games run great and smooth. But i have tried it with my 3G connection when i am out and about and it is not so good, it gets laggy and sometimes it even does not connect.

The concept of this is great, i mean it is a gamers wet dream to have a phone with a game pad in his/her pocket that can play PC/console quality games at any time they want. But at present i only have a 3G connection and there is no site of any 4G connection coming to Ireland any time soon (I mean the government over here has other things on there minds).and with out a wifi connection the games on Onlive dont run smooth for me. And i would also assume that playing games on onlive would eat up my data.
[Xperia Play General] agraceful:
Hate to say this but REAL gamers (meaning ones that play more then the average and can make a living doing so) don't use services as such. Your rant was nothing more then a rant, and poorly done. The play is not a gaming phone by any means, SE did a poor job trying to make it such. To make another point, how many people have wi-fi? I bet not as many as they think. With 3g speed, it will NEVER catch on. Who wants to connect to wifi on their phone just to play a game on such a tiny screen when they can jump on their xbox360 or ps3? I think I sense some fanboys going overboard with themselves.
[Xperia Play General] flat_steve:
agracefull: really?
[Xperia Play General] Mael5trom:
agraceful, more like disgraceful LOLOL......ahem..

No, you made me sad, im not a real gamer cause I don't play at a competitive level?

personally i think the gaming entertainment/sports market is in its infancy and can only cater to the most elite of gamers at the present time, so saying your not a gamer if your not getting paid for it seems a bit of an elitist comment tbh.

Also...where the hell do you live? in some technological backwater? most of the people I know have wifi, and depending on where you live you may get free wifi at many locations around town. 3g is getting replaced by 4g, you know why? because its slow and costs money, wifi is better than it on both fronts. Also wifi wont catch on? its in god damn near every piece of technology you can buy now...

Many older games played via emulators on other platforms require jailbreaking/mods to work, on the xplay they work fine out of the box, in a portable format with real controls, to be played almost just how they were originally intended. I'm not sure what more you could ask for.

ok, I implore others here, despite my actions, don't feed the troll anymore! we don't need this thread degenerating just because disgraceful has a bone to pick with people here for some reason.
[Xperia Play General] AdyCarter:
Stevdoyle and flat_steve; glad you both liked the post.

I had a guy from OnLive mention to me just this last weekend that they are continuing to refine the app and to "watch this space" with regards to the omissions I pointed out in that review.
[Xperia Play General] Logseman:
1) Onlive can at any point break XPlay compatibility if they feel like it. Let's not get all fanboyish here.

2) People who make money out of playing games are professionals: they will play whatever makes them money (I don't understand that industry altogether, but just saying), be it Onlive, Xperia Play or a gaming device controlled with their dicks. It's pointless to "accuse" this phone of not being aimed at people who make money out of games.

3) In places where carriers do not have prima nocte rights with the clients' wives and daughters (that excludes the USA) Wifi is pretty well widespread.
[Xperia Play General] julianpaul:
points 2. and 3. were kickass :D
[Xperia Play General] benc1213:
You're missing the point. The xperia play is made for playing games on the go, not sitting around at home playing them. Besides there are tons of old handheld and console games to play that aren't on the xbox or the ps3.
[Xperia Play General] pokemanz:
This thread is too funny. And also, Onlive is too laggy, imo.
[Xperia Play General] IE-coRe:
Onlive does not have to be laggy. Its all about your internet conection.
[Xperia Play General] UndisputedGuy:
People define gamers in different ways. Do you also think that the vita, 3ds or even psp aren't what a"real" gamer would get?
[Xperia Play General] johnylim:
It Was so funny here.

So... All peopl that playing games as their hobbies is not a real gamers ?

And most of xbox, nintendo, ps owner /player not a real gamer unless they paid for gaming ?

Really funny perception

A gamers who get paid for gaming is a profesional / tester.

And if you feel you cannot life without playing hardcore games, yes you're already a real gamer for sure.
[Xperia Play General] CapNM77:
Yep I guess I'm not a gamer no scrilla in my pockets for playing games lol! Jesus Christ that was retarded.

http://kotaku.com/5883892/these-are-the-first-psp-games-that-will-work-on-the-vita

if they ported the PSP games to PSvita, why not port them at the same time for Xperia Play if this is what they wanted to do...

PSP phone? more like... emulator phone with onlive support...

:(!

I wanna play Persona 3 portable! :'(!!
[Xperia Play General] jonshipman:
I still think Sony should partner with Onlive and just put their PS catalog on there. We could even get PS2/3 gaming on our Plays is Sony did such a partnership.

Right now the biggest flaw with onlive is the lack of games.

Can someone please post the steps that I would need to take to edit my build.prop (or whatever I need to edit) So that my phone appears in the market as a GSM galaxy nexus.

Bonus point for including steps that I can take to change it back after I've downloaded it.

Thanks.

extract the wallet app from signed_GAPPS-IML74K-010112.zip/system/app/ and install the wallet.apk

maybe thats enought
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Being able to download from market isn't tied to your build.prop being GSM, and that'll cause more issues than it'll fix.

It's tied to your carrier being AT&T at the moment. There's already a thread in here that will let you download the apk and sideload it, no root required.

Hi all... im new to this forum n sorry if this question had been asked before. Im on stock + deodexed + zipaligned + abyss kernel 3.5b + thunderbolt tweaked rom. Its a great experience for a newbie like me before moving on using custom rom. The only issue I have right now is the DISPLAY battery usage in setting -application-battry usage too high, 85%. Is this normal or theres something wrong? Driver or tweak perhaps? Right now,and usually, theres only 3 or 4 service running (in the battery usage)... display, android system and cell standbay but the battery wont even last a day. Other than that, this note rocks....

Sorry.... forgot to mention... its LA4 rom
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OrangGeeGee:
Your battery usage depends a lot from how much you use your phone, but how you use it is also very important. If you're on full brightness all the time it has a big impact on your battery, because of the area that has to be illuminated. Also the more white color on the screen, the more battery the screen uses (because it is Super AMOLED).

So my advice would be to lower your brightness setting. This should make a big impact if your brightness is now set to full blast. If you use less than 50% brightness most of the time (I find that mostly sufficient) then post here about how you use your phone.

For comparison, I can use up my battery in approx. 7 hours by watching movies on the Note on around 60% screen brightness.

Also, I prefer dark wallpapers just to save up drips of juice. Haven't tested the actual impact of doing so tho
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awesome-member:
If the screen is on. The battery it consumes will appear in the battery stats. Don't panic its normal. I doubt change in kernel is going to help you. Below are my suggestions for you.

a. Reduce brightness

b. Use black wallpaper

c. Stop being so anal about the battery life. ;-)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GallardosEggrollShop:
Lol good advice I find even on the lowest brightness the screen is still very bright. In a well lite room I can still use the screen without much added glare only when I'm outside in direct sunlight do I find myself going 50-100% brightness. My display usage is typically 50-60% compared to everything else in terms of battery usage.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ngocdao:
Hey,

Did you also turn off the image analyzer setting? It messes w/ ya brightness just like auto brightness does...

And set screen timeout to a longer duration so it dont cut off in the middle of usage. on/off/on/off repetition eats more battery.

Try key light set to light only in the dark. theres only one key per side so it being lit in the day serves no purpose other than being prettyyyyy :)
