I know it's not a PS3, I love video games, and I'm getting mine for free. Why is everyone arguing? I appreciate everyone's opinion, it's leaps and bounds over my Ally. Also I plan on getting an extended battery too lol.
[Xperia Play General] Robson:
well i'm pretty happy with it. i'm a "mild" gamer and am into ps1 just for the good old days. i've finally gotten psxperia 2.0 to work and convert the games i used to play. have em installed in the play and it's sweet. no complaints on the memory or the rom or the hardware. as far as i'm concerned, i'm keeping this phone
[Xperia Play General] trickytrees:
Erm, no - he means 'spelt', as in past tense of 'spell'.

American English is wrong again.

Don't really understand the hate towards the Play, it's not as if it's the worst of all those phones with gamepad controllers. You know, those thousands of phones.
[Xperia Play General] Zombie Taco:
The N-Gage :eek:
[Xperia Play General] Jotamide:
Congrats! I got mine over the weekend and I'm loving it. Playing Zelda Majora's Mask and Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow among other great games I loved as a kid is priceless.

You might want to check this sale that is going on for the relaunch of the android market as google play (Dead Space is $0.49 as well!).

EDIT: can't post the link but google it out :P

Have fun with your new XP! :D
[Xperia Play General] Zombie Taco:
It's not the android market anymore?
[Xperia Play General] Logseman:
No, it's the Google Play Store now. As if we didn't have enough Play monikers.already...
[Xperia Play General] :
Well it wasn't my type of thing really. Its to chunky, it looks a little outta place. The screen was to low down to the edge of the bezel. I only had to be on stock for the gamepad. Its a decent phone for those coming from a LG Ally or something like that. I dont know what a ally is as I'm in the UK.
[Xperia Play General] Zombie Taco:
The Ally was the worst android phone ever made.
[Xperia Play General] :
I think you should've gotten the Rezound. But its a-okay
[Xperia Play General] Zombie Taco:
The rezound is 200 bucks the xplay is free. If I can afford it I may get the Rezound later and use the xplay for gaming and modding, I'd like to get an unbranded one for that though.
[Xperia Play General] netizenmt:
Dude, ignore the haters and enjoy your new phone. Some these guys couldn't be satisfied if their cell provider paid THEM to use the phone.
[Xperia Play General] :
Dude, we ain't hating. I'm giving my opinion… You shoud say, "dude, ignore the other people giving their opinions" Well I've got a phone I'm satisfied with, my Nexus
[Xperia Play General] netizenmt:
Then why are you trolling in the Xperia Play forum?

I stand by my statement.
[Xperia Play General] :
Ahhh the old troll comeback. Weak choice :P And I did not know I was not welcome to any forum. Maybe because i USED to have this device, so I was advicing the OP. And it was on the latest on the XDA app.
[Xperia Play General] swebosdev:
Your not gtfo
[Xperia Play General] netizenmt:
Not a Troll? Let's look at the facts:

1. You state you used to own one, but in the long list of phones in your sig, there's no mention of the Play.

2. The OP wasn't looking for anyone's opinion, he was just expressing his excitement at getting the Play, and I'm sure, looking for welcoming comments, not criticisms.

3. Your first statement was how you hated the Play but it was ok for him since he was coming from the LG Ally, which you later state you weren't even familiar with.

4. The screen was too low down to the bezel? What the heck does that even mean? This is an illogical statement.

5. As stated previously, you touted the camera as being the only feature you liked, which is probably the least favorable feature. This is yet another strong indication that you, sir, are talking out of your sit-upon.

Add all that up and it equals TROLL.
[Xperia Play General] Zombie Taco:
Ummm dang.... I'll let you guys know when I get it should come today. Someone mail service, best buy isn't on the ball. I just want it now, soooo bad. I'm freaking out.
[Xperia Play General] netizenmt:
I got mine in November @ Best Buy in store as a free upgrade.

BTW, my first Android was the LG Ally. Out of the box, it sucked, but once I rooted it, installed Custom Recovery and installed Velocity (FroYo), it was a decent little phone. I was even able to watch Netflix on it. I was able to remove the bloat and install apps to the sdcard, and HEY even run Angry Birds!

My wife is using it now, strictly on wifi with no service, and the rom called StormDroid. :)

I've had a couple of other Android phones since, with the Play being my latest, and so far, best phone I've ever had. It was great out of the box, it was better after I rooted it, and it's awesome now that I'm running the UK ROM on it. Make sure you check out the dev forum.
[Xperia Play General] Zombie Taco:
I've been looking through the dev forum, but I still don't know if I want to root it or not. I had my Ally rooted, romed, and overclocked. 4 of them with hardware issues, I hate them. I think the battery went bad on the latest one, and the ear piece stopped working. So to an Xplay it is :D
[Xperia Play General] republicano:
root it,so you can stop all that bloatware or services you dont use,the phone does improves with gaming and with gta 3
[Xperia Play General] sufy1000:
Haha you owned him !
[Xperia Play General] lightningdude:
Rooting is almost necessary with Verizon's version of this phone. The UI is much different from the GSM XP, it's loaded with Verizon crapware, and there are other tweaks that most find necessary that will require root.

The locked bootloader is something you can live with, though I love the fact that I have mine unlocked. $24 well spent.

For roms right out of the box, I would recommend Cola Rom. I had that for a while until I unlocked, and now I'm on CM7. Which, neither of these two roms have had a single problem with the gamepad since I've had the phone. CM7 has problems with touchpads in specific games, but I can't be sure which, as I mostly play emulators.

I actually went from LG Ally to Samsung Fascinate to the XP. The Fascinate is a great phone with lots of support, but I got bored with it. I'm a classic gamer, and the touchscreen controls just weren't doing it for me.
[Xperia Play General] Zombie Taco:
Maybe I'll reconsider rooting it. It just seemed much more complicated than rooting an Ally. I did like not having all of Verizon's crap on my phone. Will they ever learn no body uses that stuff. All I want from them is service to call, message, and data. Any service they offer through all of there bloatware I can use the mobile browser for.
[Xperia Play General] Fuegeaux:
What were you running before?
[Xperia Play General] Zombie Taco:
Good question, regular Verizon version? And I would like to keep it locked up in case an official 4.0 update ever comes or when the 2.3.6 update comes. If I just root it I should get OTA updates still right.
[Xperia Play General] odst0016:
If you root you can always flashtool back to stock
[Xperia Play General] leerpsp:
I had the xperia play and update from the lg ally and it was a good phone but I called them up befor the 14 days was up and got me a droid 3 for $10 and if I was you do that and they will add the $10 to the bill for you because the few days I had the play I was thinking hell ya then it just started to suck big time and now that I have my droid 3 it makes they xperia play look like the ally lol
[Xperia Play General] :
Whoa dude. I don't mention bad phones in my sig. Don't have space for Huawei and XperiaPlay. Disregard that before the Hardcore lovers come start a forum war. Well I'm sorry, I liked the camera. I like all Sony cameras, and the screen is to close to the navigation keys on the bezel. As a Ex xperia play owner, I did not know you cannot visit the sub section of the forum. Dude, calm down, just Coz I don't like the phone doesn't mean its bad. I just didn't like it. I haven't got influence over it. Calm down bro, have a custard cream.
[Xperia Play General] Zombie Taco:
If I was to get a different phone I would go for the Rezound, but I doubt Verizon would sell me it for 10 bucks. I think I might root it once I have it for a while.
[Xperia Play General] :
Takes one to know one
[Xperia Play General] :
Rezound is nice :)
[Xperia Play General] swebosdev:
Do yourself a favor when you have a play, get onlive.

If there is 1 app that makes every phone but the play look stupid its that one.
[Xperia Play General] Zombie Taco:
Does onlive require a subscription?
[Xperia Play General] jacklebott:
Depends on if you choose it. You can subscribe and get a bundle of games to play, or you can buy them individually and permanently
[Xperia Play General] Zombie Taco:

[HTC Amaze 4G] superrskillz:
was running quicksense from about january dont know exactly which version.

phone completely died on me,

connected it to the charger and it turned on to the green "htc" logo,

but then it turns off..

so i tried booting to recover; holding volume down + power, with no luck.

tried it via connected to computer, no luck.

with & without batter still nothing..

weird thing is, SOMETIMES the charging light will keep blinking.

also SOMETIMES, the screen stays off, and the vibration feedback when pressing the home, menu, back, and search keys, virbates..

do i have the first bricked amaze or what?

:confused:

--the search key "restarts the phone"

i can tell because the keys no longer make the phone vibrate when pressed after pressing the search key.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jmhalder:
I'm betting my money on you having a earlier recovery installed that doesn't allow proper boot if the battery is dead... crappy part about that? it doesn't let the battery charge either... Find someone with an Amaze, or Sensation, charge your battery in their phone for 30 minutes, then try your phone again. Also, after your phone is charged, you probably want to reflash your recovery to a new one that doesn't exhibit this problem.

*just a wild guess, but it makes sense, it's happened to me*

*note, you could just have unrelated catastrophic hardware failure, lol*
[HTC Amaze 4G] jimczyz:
As long as you have s - off you can't brick it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jmhalder:
S-Off isn't possible right now, S-On-Unlocked is safe. although having the recovery that doesn't support charging is like a temp-brick. You just need to charge your battery in another phone.
[HTC Amaze 4G] tombeach22:
Or splice the battery directly to the wires for half an hour. That's how I charged when my charging port was the broked
[HTC Amaze 4G] daeboe:
Can you at least get into adb? You could try accessing it and then using adb to reboot into bootloader/recovery via "abd reboot recovery" or "adb reboot bootloader"
[HTC Amaze 4G] jmhalder:
Did this get resolved? Just wanted to know if my hunch was right.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
It sounds like a dead battery. The blinking light means (from my experience) that its charging but not enough juice to use yet. Once my phone died and it blinked for a couple of minutes. I tried turning on, but battery wasn't juiced enough. After a few minutes, the light turned solid and was charging and had enough power to turn on.

I would try a new battery. Good news is you're not bricked, and most likely, not even soft bricked
[HTC Amaze 4G] Opentang:
What version of CWM are you using?
[HTC Amaze 4G] superrskillz:
thank you guys for all your replies,

i let it charge for about 30 minutes and then it finally turned on
[HTC Amaze 4G] GSMachinst:
How exactly did you do this lol?
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Thought that was the issue. :D Splice the battery or flash a new recovery? Lol let's cut off his hand to cure the mosquito bite lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] keji13:
i have the same issue i could get into hboot and recovery but i cant get passed bootload and i charge it for like an hour but it wont stop flashing what can i do is it the battery?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Throatchopper:
Amazing Brick

I've had a very similar issue to those mentioned here. I have the latest cwm recovery installed (five point something). After wiping battery stats my amaze went into a cycle of booting up normally then automatically restarting after about 30 seconds. Now it shows the amber light while charging, but will not boot at all, not even into recovery. adb says device not recognized, and the amber light flashes periodically and shuts off if i press the power button... should I trash this phone and get a galaxy s II ?
[HTC Amaze 4G] aj_2423:
Yes, trash the phone. Ill give u my address and u can send me th trash, ill even gove u $10 for it :D

[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Charge it for 30-60 minutes. Unplug it and do a battery pull. Put battery back on and reboot your phone
[HTC Amaze 4G] Opentang:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] h0tw1r3:
Long time lurker, first time contributor.

After rooting, installing CWM recovery, Saurom, Da_G's kernel and a few tweaks I wanted to wipe and start over (and do some ICS hacking!). Unfortunately I didn't see a really quick way to do it (other than ODIN, what a pain - I'm on linux).

So I wrote a little update script to overwrite existing partitions with stock images stored on the sdcard. But here's the twist, instead of hardcoding everything in the update zip, it uses a property file on the sdcard at run-time.

Check it out, flame away...

Hope someone finds it useful.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] iakeco:
I will try it later this week
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] eightmillions:
Great idea! It works, now I can put different combination of OC, ROMs, Rooting in different folders and flash to any set I want in one step without increasing the counter.

This post should move to Development forum to get more discussions.

Thank you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 00mred00:
Thats awesome. Always wondered why no one had done this
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] roloracer:
complete modding has already been accomplished without increasing the flash counter, I have rooted, installed cwm recovery, flashed overclocking kernel by da_g, and I haven't increase the flash counter, and I'm waiting for the tpc v3 to flash that and as long as is on cwm zip format I can flash whatever I want without the worry of the flash counter ever going up. Now that cwm is fully working(except for usb storage)people will make stuff in cwm format, this method would help if it would be necessary to go back to stock in case of a mayor issue, and what's so great about your recovery that you say it blows away cwm?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tenderchkn:
I think he means overwrites recovery, i.e. reverts back to completely stock.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 00mred00:
Yup..including recovery...without the need for adb

That what makes it pretty Much awesome. I have seen the nook guys do this but not many others

Hi,

I'm trying to lock Contacts and Phone app to memory.

So they will start faster. I don't want to wait for them to open. ( Sometimes it tooks a long time )

If is there anyother way to do it but locking it ( like keeping it alive, running in backgorund or something ) i can try.

This is really important for me. I need to make calls fast.

Thank you so much for reading.

Best Regards.

========================================================================================

This is no longer requested.

I did it using SuperCharger Update 9 RC 6.9 ( Option 17 in Driver's Console )

I bulletproofed Phone,Contacts and Messaging apks ( Sony's Original ones ) with this script.

Here is the link: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18703418&postcount=5021

Its BETA release probably.

Use exDialer. It can be locked to memory, has smart search and looks like MIUI dialer.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oojjii:
It's a good solution.

But before i try those third-party contacts/phone apps i want to lock Sony's Original app to memory.

And i don't want to lock it with another app. I want to make lowmemorykiller see contacts app like system app and never touch it.

So, probably i need to use script or something. But it also should be permanent change, at least i don't want to do it after every reboot.

Thank you so much for answering :)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulz:
The same.

Exdialer will still SEMC phone to make calls. It's just an interface in between.

So locking THAT in memory won't help. Locking SEMCPhone is what you want for faster launches of the phone app.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soumya_digi:
The default dialer generally takes much time to start up. So suggested a 3rd party app for faster number dialing!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oojjii:
Exactly,

Exdialer is Contacts-like app. I need both of Contacts and SEMCPhone in memory.

If i won't find anything probably i will use ExDialer for Contacts app at least it will quicker to find Contacts.

But i also really need to lock SEMCPhone app to memory. That's the most important part. Because i can't use any third party app for this function. It have to be Sony's original ( im not sure btw )

Thank you so much for answering.
