[Xperia Play General] CTU_Loscombe:
Im sticking by Sony because I still feel that they are right in not releasing ICS for the Play. I accept that there were some gamepad fixes but they still didnt fix all the games. Particularly the Plays big sellers like Dead Space, Modern Combat, N.O.V.A and alot of the emulators. My copy of Dead Space and Modern Combat reverted to touch controls despite running the gamepad fix!!! Again, for a device that is primarily a gaming device, broken gamepad=pissed off consumers.

Hell, despite some of the various fixes alot of games simply Force Close. Gameboid was the main one for me, as well as various other emulators. Asphalt 6 had red lines around everything and didnt work with the gamepad. Mike V Skateboard Party had lag issues not found when running it on Gingerbread. The cons far far far outweigh the pros of the Play build of ICS.

As far as not developing for the older phones goes, I honestly facepalmed. Check the list again. Particularly X10mini/mini pro. Again, as I stated above, its the Plays gamepads that are the issue. Something that all the devices on the update list dont have. All official builds on the Play are custom built to work with the gamepad. They cant get the gamepads to work, we dont get the update...Simple as that

Im going to stand up for all the people who realise that the Play doesnt need the ICS update and is perfectly functional on Gingerbread. Im going to stand up for the people who dont act like spoiled brats when things dont go their way.

You want ICS then sell your Play and buy another phone or flash a custom rom instead of coming in here and lambasting someone for sticking up for a company:mad:
[Xperia Play General] supernoodles2011:
They can't get a gamepad that they designed and built.

To work on ICS?... Good Company..
[Xperia Play General] CTU_Loscombe:
Its probably a bit more difficult than you reckon. You've also got to consider all the devs that will have to make significant updates to their games and/or apps just to get them to work.

It would be an uphill battle for very little gain considering the small Play userbase
[Xperia Play General] silvacrest:
this, for me at least wouldn't be so bad if a play 2 was promised or at least hinted at because, if im honest, the play was outdated on launch day and now its being eclipsed by quad core beasts

but if they just end things like this....im done with sony
[Xperia Play General] mustbepbs:
First World problems.
[Xperia Play General] mcfly666:
Rubbish, I'm going to stand up for the people who don't give a damn about old games. Sony should release it with all the blocks in the right place so game developers can code for new games. You want to play your old games - you've got that choice, no one will force you to update.

Get off your 'trollin' high horse and wind your neck in, no one is acting like a brat, so you've go no reason to call anyone that.

Windows 7 broke support for a lot of my 'old' games, mind you XP was "perfectly functional" so microsoft should have canned all later operating systems...
[Xperia Play General] CTU_Loscombe:
1 line of my post you picked out to have a go at me for...my emulators. I mentioned a load of other issues and thats all you could pick out.

Im not "trolling" either. It would be a nightmare for Sony to rectify all these issues for the general consumer i.e people who dont have a clue about applying "gamepad fixes" and what-not. People in here are acting like brats with the whole "I was promised ICS so I have to have it" mindset.

I think if Microsoft had a big issue with hardware not working on a particular model of PC/laptop/netbook then they should not allow an update to a later OS. My netbook has issues with the Windows 8 beta and if Microsoft decided that it wouldnt allow 8 to run on it, I would understand.

The Play is having major issues with ICS and I fully understand and support Sonys decision not to release the ICS update to it
[Xperia Play General] speedyink:
I love how a lot of people are saying they're going to switch to a different brand now. Yeah, as if you're gonna get better support from any of the other brands :rolleyes:
[Xperia Play General] daniel090588:
The gaming problem on ICS is not only for xperia play i have my arc s on GB cause a try ICS on it and the games closes without any reason and that is not a ICS problem also is not a Sony problem the galaxy nexus has the same gaming problems and that is the reason that some games are not still totally compatible with ICS plattaform, Xperia play runs ICS very well just like my arc s but in a phone that is buil for gaming Sony does not want to risk this capability jut to bring a problematic gaming update of ICS
[Xperia Play General] CTU_Loscombe:
FINALLY!!! Someone who speaks sense :)
[Xperia Play General] jerses:
You are right. Microsoft does not allow an update to a later OS if its not worth it...but microsoft its not telling you "for sure all the products from X line of product will get an upgrade" then 4 months later when people start asking questions about the release date they tell you "yes , yes its right on time.may /june you will get the upgrade" then they release a video so you can see that its already coming or that they are working on it. Then the month of the release comes and they tell you.. "oh im sorry hardware is not working, no update".....shouldnt that be like priority one to see if its possible before making a press release??? Its not right. Its not right to tell you and keep you waiting till the day/month of the release date. or what? they found out yesterday that ICS is not going to run smooth?

If the laptop comes with a sticker that says "windows 8 upgradable" and microsoft decided that it wouldnt allow 8 to run...will you understand it? Will you say "im ok" even when you invested in a machine that clearly say its upgradable.

Im angry not that i will not get ICS, im angry at sony for always making this kind of statements then retract. They did the same with the x10 froyo-gingerbread "no upgrade, hardware no good" devs got it working and a year later sony releases a stable gingerbread upgrade...too LATE!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ROSTESA:
Hi there,

I have flashed my SGSII with the latest TurkbeyRom Ics V9 4.0.3 Blue-Black Themed XWLPD.

I've wiped all de caches and installed this rom. But after restarting i cannot enter the sim-pincode. I only can make emergency calls. However when i flash an other rom (e.g. Paranoid 0.6) there is no issue. What could be the reason? This is an KPN (Dutch)-simcard.

Thanks,

i have recently bought a galaxy ace.. its becoming very difficult for me to take pictures with the on-screen buttons.i have tried vignette which lets u take pic with the volume button but therebis no night mode neither i can enable flash.i was wondering whether there is any camera hack for the stock camera which can allow me to take pic with any button and also night mode and flash works.plz help guys...
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] -RDR-:
the above thing is present for all our cm7.2 roms :)

i dunno about stock ... anyways you cant have your cake and eat it too :eek:
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mohaimed:
u mean if i flash cm 7.2 than i can take pictures with power button?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] sax0406:
Use camera zoom fx, you can customize it so that volume buttons can take pics :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] -RDR-:
yes :) there is an option in the camera settings to do that :)

but since u have bought ur phone recently u need to see if your Ace is GT s5830 OR some other model like gt s5830i/m/t/c :)

most( oh wait..... maybe all :p) of the custom roms for ace work only for GT S5830 :eek::eek::eek:

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SuperAce609:
Get CameraZoom FX. You can take pics just by touching anywhere on the screen. Takes the best pics too. Compared it to other camera apps so I'm not just saying it because I like it.

Does really live with walkman has superior sound quality as compared to xperia mini?

Or is it just walkman branding?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Syris:
LWW without a doubt has better speaker sound, because it's stereo and 2.

I work on a cellphone shop (PhoneHouse, Portugal) so I'm going to test both on the weekend and report back to you.

My suggestion is LWW because the screen is a little bigger and the sound is just awesome.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M.Rafail:
Thankyou.I appreciate your reply.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] whalesplaho:
i love my mini pro cos of tha keyboard but LWW has bigger screen, music phone!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ARNOB:
LWW is better than mini and active in the series. But the mini pro has a hw keyboard which really makes the phone 'unique'.

When the battle is between mini and lww, walkman wins !
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Megdroid:
agree! walkman win in every aspect. 2 week before i bought lww, i bought xperia mini, too me, it was too small. so give to my wife.

then now i'm with lww! :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] nominomi007:
Mini, but would go for LWW

Well, I have also purchased the Mini. It's a great device, but if I should decide again, I would go for the slightly bigger LWW ;-) The extra 0.2 screen, trust, you can feel it ;-)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] AlvinZahran98:
Xperia mini over Live With Walkman :

- Reality Display with Mobile BRAVIA Engine display is awesome

- Camera is a bit better

- Compact design

Live with Walkman over Xperia mini :

- Dual speakers and Surround sound capability with great sound quality

- A bit bigger screen

How much is your budget? I suggest you are buying Live with Walkman for great sound quality, but I suggest you buying Xperia mini for a bit better camera and screen quality...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] madhouses:
Guys really dont understand why you cry about size. Its called mini for some reason and i thing you really cant say about size of small mobile with small lcd is disadvantage becouse some1 like me have realy like it.

lww or xperia mini?

Why are u creating multiple thread asking similar question?

Xda already cluttered with spams and junks, dont make it worse
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M.Rafail:
Without any arguing.

see in detail each question is different.each question has its own purpose.I asked question to get knowledge for myself and other readers.either answer,otherwise use the proper channel and report to admin.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Feanor88:
You could have created one single thread, titled Mini VS. LWW, and asked your questions like this:

1) Question A

2) Question B

3) Question C

And so on.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M.Rafail:
Thankyou.

Good idea,

Next time I will do as you told.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mdfzhi:
so u mean each and every question need its own dedicated thread? good one.

and to answer your question, neither mini or lww have much solid premium feels as both is made from cheap glossy plastic.
[Acer Iconia A500] Pazzu510:
Is there any way to add webtop or anyting similar to ubuntu for android to the iconia tablet for the hdmi port?

I am trying to use the iconia as a desktop pc with a multi-usb(mouse and keyboard) and my hdmi outport, but it is very difficult without the task bar(no clock, no multitasking, no home or back button) and a reduced screen that cuts a little bit of the edges.

I know that ubuntu for android is a good solution, but even jelly bean- Android (that promises a similar desktop experience) seems closer to release than that. Webtop seems ok, but i find no way to install it to the tablet, just hcks for atrix and motorola stuff.

Anyway, if there is anyway to add it to a rom, or a rom that already has soemthing similar i would really appreciate that information.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] TLGuard:
To start I'm not sure if this is the right place to post considering I can't post on the development thread yet.

So I was running the quickwiz 1.0.3 rom and i flashed the dag kernel and accidentally did a data wipe, so I then restored it to a previous backup. Now there are random times where my phone will lock the screen and it won't turn back on. I've tried doing fix permissions in rom manager and cwm. I tried reflashing the same rom via cwm, and the issue still sticks. I have yet to try Odin and don't really want to. Any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] TLGuard:
To add on, the only fix I have for now is to remove the battery and manually reboot. Everytime I do this the battery will drop from anywhere to 5% - 20% sometimes the battery will slowly rise up again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
If you are running da_g kernel, it has sleep of death issues

[HTC Sensation] alanapone:
I have done a quick search and could not find the answer I'm after.

I want to be able to stream my music from my Win7 PC to my Sensation without some long drawn out process or having to have a load of different programs running.

Is there a way to get my windows media player to recognise my phone via my WiFi (pc is wired into a wireless router) and stream my music form the WiFi on to my phone as if the music was on my phone?

OR

Do I need a 64GB card! lol
[HTC Sensation] icanttinkofaname:
It's possible. In the HTC music app (if you're running sense 3.6) tap the top bar and select media servers. If you've got your pc already set up for sharing, it should be visible. Just start streaming away!
[HTC Sensation] alanapone:
I tried that but I can't seem to get my PC setup to be seen by my phone. Any ideas for that side of things then as i seem to be doing the bit on the phone correct?

Not strictly related to these forums, but this *should* be what you're looking for (I haven't read it through properly myself.)

You can't. It's a severe issue and cannot be fixed, your phone has a life span of 30 flashes, have you exceeded that? If yes, your phone will explode in 24 hours. sorry.

If you are already on that radio, try to reflash CWM.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashu.singh.1:
Hi folks,

I want to develop a custom lockscreen for android ICS tabs. From what i googled it seems that there are two ways:

1. develop custom homescreen with some lockscreen mechanism (which can take PIN from user and show user home after validation) using standard SDk APIs.

2. Develop a custom lockscreen, replacing default one with it using flashing at OS level.

can you please help me out, also which of two will be more efficient sdk api's or modifying ROM (im not planning to put it on market anyway :o) , also can please point me to refrences where I can start learning android development (ROM customization and sdk).......

thanks in advance ......

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Reveille94:
If it is soft bricked, then there are a lot of ways. Just search on YouTube or even this forum or better yet Google it. If you messed up while flashing a new radio or a bootloader then you have hard bricked it therefore there is no way of getting it back to work.

The title says it all... I couldn't find information about it anywhere. Yesterday I was looking at some sweet live wallpapers on the market and suddenly I found a good one... But I had to buy the full version to customize it so I searched on google for the apk, found one, installed it... After installing I realised there was 2 new internet shortcuts on my home screen :confused:.. Now this morning, I got this notification, "Grab your iPad3", is that a virus? How do I get rid of this b.s?

Any help is more than appreciated :D

That's actually a specific type of ad. They use the notification bar. I would uninstall personally.

I had something similar happen to me on my Thrive a while back. Turned it an app I installed piggy backed an add thing onto my device. Not sure if that is exactly what is happening to you but try out this app. It will tell you if an app uses a few specific app frameworks that may be responsible so you can remove the offending apps. Best of luck!
