In gb there was a touch response increase in keirans app of tweaks maybe it can be updated
[Xperia Play Android Development] TheCraig:
Touch response is pretty decent for me... I've had better touch screens on other devices but it isn't that bad.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Therev86:
Im using tones i downloaded and saved with the Zedge app months ago, its not forgotten either the custom ringtone or notification tone for me, works just fine.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Therev86:
Cameras work fine but you're right, im getting force close errors when starting the camcorder.
[Xperia Play Android Development] allandacruz:
Works fine to me

Sorry guys, but camcorder works fine to me. It's strange. Maybe you flashed .62 before, I was on .42.

Try flash .42 first.

WHATTTTTT ??? Pretty decent ???

Are you typing via Swype ? Or even the stock but with sliding enable ?

Guy try it for 2 weeks. You'll be crazy after it haha...

Again, I think our touch waste, very bad compared to another smarts..

---------- Post added at 09:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:07 PM ----------

I've tried it on GB, but i think it didn't help me. I think its a hardware fault. Maybe the amoled screens are better in this way.
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
for people complaining about touch, you have a capacitive touchscreen. It detects touch because there is a layer of electrons on the screen, which are disturbed when you press the screen. If you put any more power through it you will electrocute yourself.
[Xperia Play Android Development] lightningdude:
Sounds like fun, to me! :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] allandacruz:
OK, but..

Ok Keiran, but when I type I don't press the touch screen with power... I type naturally, but sometime it fails during the sliding.

---------- Post added at 09:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:30 PM ----------

I think the SONY is wrong in maintaining that old music player, these old widgets, and more old things...

I think when the official ROM is released it should come out with the Xperia S UI ported for our ICS. I think that UI pretty, so beautiful, all Xperia S applications are well designed: Music Player, Calculator, Alarms, Message, Launcher, Themes, Email, and more........

And the Sound Enhancement, please... This Equalizer is awesome, far better then stock ICS sound for Xperia Play.

Just a tip.
[Xperia Play Android Development] TheCraig:
Isn't as bad as everyone is making out, maybe you still have that anti screen crack sheet on your screen.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Therev86:
Yeah ive not had any issues with the touch at all. I reflashed earlier today because the whole phone was lagging horribly even while typing, but i think ive pinned that down to something i did with SetCPU, im using swype and have been since GB and it appears to work as it always has
[Xperia Play Android Development] MilkyJoePD:
Haha. Yeah, it's a touch screen, not a press screen.
[Xperia Play Android Development] allandacruz:
Yes, I have it. But, is it really contribute to my bad touch performance?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Therev86:
You would be surprised, get a little bit of air under there and any touchscreen becomes a nightmare, i fitteda Zagg Invisible Shield to mine its been on for months and doesn't hinder the touchscreen at all whereas other screen protectors can be a little too thick i find and this can affect the touchscreen
[Xperia Play Android Development] allandacruz:
Its a joke...

I know I should not be posting this here, I'm putting here because few people don't read the QA. Guys my phone is dead. I was listening to music on speaker and reading some things here at XDA, I would get an email in gmail and the music suddenly stopped playing ... I could no longer turn on the display. Ok, I removed the battery and tried to put again, but NO POWER ON ANYMORE...

Service center?

Has anyone experienced something similar?

Creating a copy in QA.
[Xperia Play Android Development] BrNeeto:
All thats ok, except Wifi. Here don't work.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Therev86:
A couple of days ago my touchscreen stopped working totally, i could turn the screen on and off but no touch, a battery pull sorted this though i thought for sure the digitizer was gone! Nothing line your're experiencing though
[Xperia Play Android Development] Abaddon:
When will sony release the official one? lol I hope not by the time jelly bean comes out ;D
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
If Sony gave a warning that ICS may lower the phone's performance in some cases, rest assured they're not updating the Play to JellyBean. I wouldn't be sure if it can be updated either, maybe the eventual CM10 would make it work, but I doubt it. What puzzles me is what Sony has in store for phones like the Xperia Neo L and the Xperia U, which have the same specs as the Play and should come with ICS out of the box, and still they're unreleased...
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeWCuLTKiNG:
Jellybean is for tablets like honeycomb
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
Xperia Neo L is Qualcomm Snapdragon msm7x30

Xperia U is ST-Ericsson NovaThor

P.S.: Xperia Play will get ICS end of May/June [ Source ]
[Xperia Play Android Development] clivejefferies:
I dont think that is correct, they have just done a lot of work on ICS to reduce fragmentation, I doubt they will revert to having separate OSs. I think they will try and bring Google TV up to the same version to reduce fragmentation further.
[Xperia Play Android Development] lightningdude:
He's not the first person to say that Jelly Bean will be for tablets. It's not quite common knowledge at this point, but it's also not completely unfounded. Fragmentation isn't so much a problem among all devices, it's more or less between the phones, themselves, rather than between phones and tablets. I'm not sure there are many people who want their tablets to act like their phones, so a separate version for tablets makes sense.
[Xperia Play Android Development] clivejefferies:
Then why did they consolidate in ICS?
[Xperia Play Android Development] TheCraig:
Its pretty safe to say the 2011 Xperia Smartphones won't get jelly bean or any other version above 4.0.X
[Xperia Play Android Development] lightningdude:
I don't know their motives, I don't work for Google. But for them to have released the next name and still be pushing the ICS thing for phones, I would imagine the next release isn't going to be phone-based. It's not just my speculation, though, I can't remember where I read it before.
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeWCuLTKiNG:
Anyone get gta 3 to run without locking up and having to pull the battery after a min or 2?
[Xperia Play Android Development] clivejefferies:
nope
[Xperia Play Android Development] MizuhoChan:
My feedback is that I'd love the Play to be able to play mkv's in hardware mode.

I doubt it's possible to program it in, but just something I regret not having. Software decoding isn't great.
[Xperia Play Android Development] BrNeeto:
Someone could use Wifi? And there is already Root and CWM for ICS?
[Xperia Play Android Development] lightningdude:
Yes, yes, and yes.
[Xperia Play Android Development] TheCraig:
KalleD do you have any idea when Sony are going to push the sources to github? I'm really interested in compiling my own kernel as I've got some experience with them from previous devices.

Thanks,
[Xperia Play Android Development] BrNeeto:
Really? Wifi worked automatically? Here he does not care ... You made some fix or something?

Thanks!
[Xperia Play Android Development] Therev86:
No it doesnt work automatically, you need to either edit the build.prop to enable it or flash the zip earlier in this thread to enable wifi/bluetooth, but once thats done it works - no need to add a fake network
[Xperia Play Android Development] BrNeeto:
Where I found CWM and this flash?

Thanks very much!

I'm tired of the R800x CDMA model being the Red-Headed Step-child of the Xperia Play line. In my opinion, there is simply no excuse for Sony to leave us hanging out here over a data signal. Our devs are doing amazing work, but they really could use some help on this. Could someone from Sony please throw us a bone on CDMA? Thank you!
[Xperia Play Android Development] androidseb:
Does it work on Gingerbread???
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
I don't think its their fault, put it this way, I think it is like this, Sony sold Verizon the device, who sold you the device, and because Verizon ****ed around with it too much, Sony has just left it to Verizon to update the device.

On top of that, I don't think Sony are legally authorized to push an update to your device. Thank Verizon for that.

Keiran
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
exactly... this is the BIGGEST problem on carrier locked phones... it depends on the carrier what updates to push and when... even the Galaxy Nexus (CDMA) is having lots of issues because of the this...
[Xperia Play Android Development] netizenmt:
Are you saying that Sony knows how to build my R800x but not how to make the CDMA work? That can't be a trade secret. They aren't being asked to push updates. Just to release the info on what would be required to make it work for dev purposes.

Maybe thats also against some licensing thing or contract or whatever. Oh well, we will just have to depend on the talented devs here at xda to figure it out.

[Xperia Play Android Development] EagleDelta1:
It has nothing to do with knowing or not knowing - Verizon probably has terms with its phones that essentially takes all control of the phone updates, software, etc away from the manufacturer. That's the reason Verizon phones can't be unlocked, why the Galaxy Nexus and R800x are behind their GSM counterparts. Basically, Verizon wants you to buy a new phone rather than keep updating your old one and use their contractual requirements to force that on manufacturers. There's a Reason the CDMA Galaxy Nexus has been dropped as a developer phone by Google (though they still try to get updates out).

I wouldn't count on an official Sony release for our phones, simply because verizon is blocking the certification process that Sony has to go through (see Doomlord's link for more)

[Xperia Play Android Development] johnsongrantr:
disregard report about n64oid having reversed analog touchpads, was a bug that was fixed by the app developer, feature wasn't implemented before ICS due to not wanting 2 versions of the app to maintain and had no way of testing the feature until now
[Xperia Play Android Development] Therev86:
Perhaps the full version is being primed for release? Or its possible they just have all the feedback they need.
[Xperia Play Android Development] TheCraig:
I hope there priming it for a final release, anyway watching House :P
[Xperia Play Android Development] Paul Shirley:

[Xperia Play Android Development] Therev86:
I do think there is a memory leak in the rom, couple of times ive felt it vibrate and when i look its restarting itself and it gets sluggish randomly too
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
Memory leaks are kernel related, or library related.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Therev86:
In using DoomLords advanced stock kernel for this rom, its only gotten bad enough for me to reflash once, back then i thought i screwed something up in SetCPU but i havent used it since relashing and i *occasionally* get lag or a random reboot.
[Xperia Play Android Development] tommoose:
Setcpu gave me nothing but trouble while i've been running ics to the point where i've ditched it too and started using system tuner

Ill give system tuner a look thanks man

I've got my official ics beta rom on my Play, playing games like GTA3, freeze the phone, and i have to hard reset (remove battery). really serious issue, now is it Sony fault or GTA3 maker's fault?

Note: GTA3 is definitely not ICS optimised, this is for sure.
[Xperia Play Android Development] ngavarta:
A few reasons which might make me fallback to previous release if prob persist.

0. Google Apps goodies - fine with this, i believe we'll get this in the stable release.

1. Wifi - freaking annoying with this unsupport, but i still can live with it now, this will definitely get fix too

2. I seems to see better graphic in games (especially 3D games), but if overall performance drop, a very big turn down.

3. Liked every goodies brought in by ICS, the app control, data monitor, chrome, ... but I want all my "Xperia Play game center" and hopefully a couple more freebie games, XD so we can test the performance out, and blame game developers but not Sony.

Cheers SE team, and thanks for bringing in ICS 1st taste, yummy ...

hi guys new to the play area, not so new to android :)

facing a little problem, wondering if anyone can help me?

i have a R800i running on .42 FTF

unlocked the bootloader, was quite easy.

trying to install this beta rom, having an issue with fastboot...

fastboot flash boot.... no issues

fastboot flash userdata... no issues

but fastboot flash system.... just gets stuck on the sending 'system' <213558 KB> like forever...

waited for 20 mins, still hanging there..

tried with different USB ports, tried the process 4 times and every time the same result

any advice?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Therev86:
Hmm no reason why it should hang, system.img can take a little while but it shouldnt take /that/ long. Humour me, flash a fresh .62 and try the process again in the same order (boot, user, system) and report back
[Xperia Play Android Development] Abaddon:
I can play every game on ICS with my sensation on official ICS so its rom related not the game. also on my mytouch 4g i cant play gta3 on aokp roms D
[Xperia Play Android Development] letmedanz:
Since i wasn't able to push the system.img, the phone was stuck in a bootloop.

Flashed .62 using flashtool.. will try again after work today & report

Using the beta as a daily driver since its out, with doomkernel for ics beta. Games are all running ad good as under gb, the homescreen is a bit laggy for me. Battery is same as under gb with doomkernel v11. The ram is much lower as under gb, gb was ~120mb free after killing, ics is at ~80mb, with same apps and settings.

Todayvi just realised that the gps is MUCH worse than under gb, not sure if its the rom or the kernel, can anybody confirm that?
[Xperia Play Android Development] letmedanz:
No joy :(

Trying the process after flashing .62 and the problem remains....

am able to send boot.img & userdata.img without any problem but system.img is just stuck in sending 'system'.

is there any way to know if the process has frozen or if something is happening and may take more time?

also if anyone can tell me how long it took for them to send system.img (considering it to be a larger file) so i can get a better idea?
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeWCuLTKiNG:
Took bout 2-5 minutes if I remember right. I'd download it again maybe yours didn't download properly
