Hey guys

Kept quite through this stressful time for many people who expected an ICS update but now we know we won't be getting one.I have two mixed opinions on this .

The first is why guarantee us an update if in the end they don't deliver.the way the led us on to believe is just annoying and the fact that some people moved from previous Sony devices that had been promised updates for their devices but never got one is just another sucker punch to the 2nd nut.

My other opinion is that its better to have a smooth rom than an unstable one because its all about the user experience over latest software.

My main question is if the game developers are unwilling to make their games ics compatible then if Sony ever release a Xperia play 2 then will that have to run GB or something compatible or will Sony aid them financially or expertise wise to get the games ics ready.

Who knows what will happen but they better do something big soon .

PS(sorry for any grammar errors)
[Xperia Play General] DeadlyDazza:
There won't be an Xplay 2.
[Xperia Play General] hi_ra:
i think so :(

but i still hope sony would release their latest build
[Xperia Play General] ClioCreslind:
Excuse me for shamelessly copying over what I wrote on another thread:

<quote from my other post>

Just releasing Xperia PLAY 2 is not going to be enough. It's still going to be seen as a niche device, thus low sales, thus not enough game titles to be an "ecosystem".

An "ecosystem" is what we really need, that is, developers must be able to see 2 things:

1.) unlike Xperia PLAY, that there WILL be new devices that can run their game-pad optimized games when the old generation fades out.

2.) there MUST be a big enough audience, ie. active devices in use.

Only then will big label game developers sink time in to make deep and 40+ game-hours titles.

To do that, rather than releasing a Xperia PLAY2, I think releasing gamepad case or battery cover options for the mainstream handsets is going to do the trick. If they do that, every Sony Handset is going to be Xperia PLAY2, 3, etc. , and even if not many of those cases actually sold, I'm hoping developers would think "Hey, there are 2 Million devices that POTENTIALLY could have gamepad. My game would play so much better with gamepad, maybe I can give my players something extra by support that."

For Physical Design of the gamepad battery cover idea, maybe it could utilize the volume of the original battery compartment to store physical analog sticks, and relocate the battery to below the gamepad. Imagine the space available from Xperia Arc or the new GX...:cool:

</quote from my other post>

Actually, if the above actually happens, I don't mind if they don't make a Xperia PLAY2 with Fixed gamepad. It'd be nice, sort of a "flagship of all gamepad capable phones", but it won't be decisive whether the ecosystem lives or dies.

On the other hand, I have a feeling that Sony is drawing a line in the sand between itself and the Xperia PLAY. With Xperia PLAY optimisation being royalty free (any program can code to use the gamepad), I think Sony is trying to get rid of it like the plague.

Even if Sony makes new phones with gamepads (detachable or not), they will want to somehow limit the gamepad access only to games published in their own eco-system (like PS Suite) to maximise profit (Afterall, this is what it's all about to Sony). But PS Suite is not going to be bogged down by XPERIA PLAY's mid-2010 hardware, so I've lost hope we'll get much from it...

So sadly I think this is as far as the Xperia PLAY will go. It'll forever be a device that runs emulators and some 2011/12 Android games. I think there won't be future devices that uses Xperia PLAY's gamepad API.
[Xperia Play General] crono141:
Ics has its own gamepad api, and one that already works on the xplay gamepad, touch pads and all. FPSE and N64oid both use it.

In reality, there is nothing stopping Motorola or HTC or anyone from putting a functional game pad on these devices. All moto would have to do is put the dpad from the og droid on the left and we'd be good to go.
[Xperia Play General] philster16:
To be honest I think the way these custom roms are being developed and coming up to scratch, many will become very decent and will be better than anything Sony can ever come up with
[Xperia Play General] ff7fan4eva:
http://www.xperiablog.net/2012/05/29/sony-mobile-to-focus-on-hardware-innovation-for-future-devices/

Did you guys read this, apparently the Chief Marketing Officer of Sony mobile Steve Walker rubbished claims that an Xperia Play 2 was in development and that the future was integration with all Xperia phones (PS Suite :S).

So no Xperia Play 2 i guess.

To me the phone is not profitable for Sony's attention/support thus the lack of interest, like the above poster said though it would be great if they created a peripheral compatible with all Xperia phones that would include a gamepad/other functionality, but I've lost interest in Sony's mobile division now they are too slow to market anything powerful and are lacking when it comes to long term support and innovative software.
[Xperia Play General] narflynn619:
no XPLAY 2, says Sony Mobile’s Chief Marketing Officer at the Open Mobile Summit, London

wake up
[Xperia Play General] abstractbeats:
That's my main hope: with Google introducing its own Gamepad API, someone else making a phone with built in game buttons.

No way am I going back to games that control like this:

The Android phone market reminds me of the digital camera megapixel war. 1001 devices that compete on some measurable spec or other, but all are very generic.
[Xperia Play General] crono141:
Guess I'll be on this phone a while longer then. Now to get an extended battery.
[Xperia Play General] narflynn619:
extended battery with a custom protective case... oh how i wish...
[Xperia Play General] Thewonderboy:
exchatly my feelings.

but IMHO, this could proffit Xplay 2 more if Sony ever would do such a device.

think, Xplay support would be dropped because its on OLD hardware and OLD gingerbread and the Xplay 2 would be on NEW ICS/Any new android OS with NEW hardware, naturaly game developers wouldnt bother with old model so they would transfer all their resources to new model which would force more old users to upgrade to new.

Hi @ all,

i´m so worry:confused:. After 3 days without luck, i think my last chance is your knowledge.:rolleyes:

In my old System:

Windows 7 64bit

Everything works fine. I started with my Windows Phone in December 2010

Unlocked it with chevron. Had Zune 4.7 after NoDo befor Mango Zune 4.8 and than interop. I saved alle my Backups Zune made and also my personal Buckups i made with Windows_Phone_7_Backup in Final with Version 1.9. I had no problems.

But than i had to setup new my system, because i had a lot of problems ( Not with zune or wp7)

Now also everything is running fine with Windows 7 64bit i only hade problems with getting backups!

I installed zune 4.8 also Supporttool and Setup-UpdateWP-x64 i checked the version numbers an all version matched (4.8.2345.0)

But it doesen´t matter if i start "WP7_Update_Cab_Sender" or "Wp7EasyBackup" or if i use the "Windows phone device Manager" always the same.

As example(WP7_Update_Cab_Sender):

But if the Phone restart nothing happens. The phone is booted in systemloader and i see the connect usb cable on screen.

I´m so desperate. So i thought maybe i had the same Problem as some updates befor so i installed "Device_Update_Support_Tool_for_OMNIA7_KC3_Ver1.2" from samsung, where the phone is in download mode and get some new USB driver. But also with the same effect.

Does anybody have a idea that i can make backups with my new system? Thanks a lot!!!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chef_Tony:
if i am to understand the question correctly (which i am not entirely sure of), the op talks about taking photos during video recording with the camera, which would mean, screencast has absolutely nothing to do with it.

also this exact same question was asked earlier today already and there the answer was that lgcamera from the play store could do it and also some custom roms (aokp/aosp) support it. but in general that is a hardware feature best experienced with a device that supports it, like the galaxy nexus or the sgs3.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sun90:
+1, yes u are correct, screencast has nothing 2 do with the same,

LG camera app from market has this option of clicking photo while recording:)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] filthykid:
Galaxsy S i9000 also got this feature with a recent Value-added pack upgrade.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chef_Tony:
as i said, you can emulate this feature through the right software, just like samsung did with the i9000 or one can do with lgcamera on the i9100, but it is not the real deal. please don't ask me to explain, as i can't, but you can look it up what the differences are between the software version and the hardware version, supported, as stated before, on the galaxy nexus or s3.

apparently, it has something to do with their zero shutter lag or something about the continuous auto focus or whatever. both of those would be hardware features that aid this feature and can of course not be implemented through 3rd party software.

oh, and by the way, i really hope, eventually the s2 will get a value pack as well with some s3 features.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] esokolov:
Hi,

I know it's a general android question but let me ask it here.

Let's say I'm driving, using (just as an example) Waze as a navigator and Audible as a bookreader. Easiest way to switch between them is to do a long press home and choose an app. But is there a way to make it even simpler? Like I long press home or search or whatever and it switches between two most recent apps? Or some bluetooth gadget that swaps apps on a button click? I'm open for options because available routine is too much of distraction - long press then look and tap a proper icon?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] erick161:
As far as I know...no. But if that simple changing of apps distracts you that much...maybe you shouldn't be fiddling with your phone and driving.

With that said, android tablets have this wonderful program called "cornerstone". Lets you simultaneously run 3 apps on screen at the same time. Would be pretty sweet if it could get adapted to the note. Maybe just 2 apps at a time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] esokolov:
Pity...

In fact, there are more possibilities than Home button. Waze beta voice command mode is being triggered by waving a hand (proximity sensor?). Good idea for someone to write a task switcher - you wave a hand, and it switches applications!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] stevenavm:
That's what I get when accessing the "advanced" part of CWM Touch 5.8.1.3 on my skyrocket(to wipe dalvik cache). I also got something similar during a nandroid backup.

What does this mean and why am I getting this message?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] aceownstheworld:
Something to do with your external sd card. Might want to Odin cwm again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] stevenavm:
It's done this since I've had the phone.. part of me thinks it's because of all the weird partitioning i had to do when i was using this external card with my atrix and the lapdock.. trying to unlock the webtop and all that insanity. I've tried repartitioning but it doesn't do the job.. now what?

I don't think re-odining CWM will do it, I've been on 4 different CWMs since getting my skyrocket and they've all done this.

I'm also having trouble running sean's newest ICS rom(i went back to GB for a while, too many little bugs were driving me crazy) now. Phone won't boot with it installed. Could this be because the dalvik can't be wiped? where is the dalvik cache written to?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] scott14719:
Have you tried using a different external SD card to see if it still gives you that error?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] stevenavm:
naw, i know i should. i will soon, i was just kind of looking to see if this was a common thing. just formatted the card and will try again. the issue never caused any problems until right now, i'm thinking it's part of the reason i can't boot the ROM. will try reflashing after formatting the external card, then if that doesn't work i'll try going back to the GB nandroid, if it still doesn't boot then i'll try the external card and get back.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] aceownstheworld:
You shouldn't need an external to boot the rom. Everything should be flashed from the internal. Just leave the external out, reflash everything, and boot up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] stevenavm:
yeah i figured it couldn't really be the external causing the boot failure. but would not being able to properly wipe the dalvik cause it? because it returns the error when i go to wipe the dalvik. sorry, i'm like a half-noob... got all the terms and procedures down, but the under the hood stuff is still coming slowly lol

edit: no dice. just won't boot at all. going to ODIN cwm again as suggested and try that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] stevenavm:
now things are getting really weird. after ODINing CWM, when i go to install from the external SD it just keeps going to my internal. both "internal" and "external" sd card options go to the internal. there's a subfolder for the external_sd as it would be in root explorer, but that just loops back to the normal internal sd folder.. what the hell is going on?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Dirtburgler:
Your on ATT so get the odin oneclick and properly start with the leaked ICS rom.

The onclick has bootloader updates thats CWM wont give you and it also installs the most recent radio and most recent ril's.

The odin "oneclick" will wipe the entire phone and set it up stock and should correct any wierd formatting errors.

Then use the Odin "program" to flash CWM tar

Then try flashing a rom again.

Oh take that card from your atrix and format it FAT32 with a pc and only put the rom and rom updates on it to start with. If you get this far, you should be good to go.

[EDIT 16th June 2012 at 05:30 PM] Built v2 of my dock. See this post for details.

[EDIT 3rd June 2012 at 09:30 PM] Woho! Built it. See the bottom of this post for pictures of the finished product + my tweaked SketchUp model based on the actual build.

First I'd like to thank 'chopper the dog' for his excellent [MOD][PROJECT] Pogo Charging Dock thread.

So far, I've only designed this dock in SketchUp - but it's so simple and straightforward that it will work.

It was important to me to design a dock that is adjustable to any kind of case I may have on my GNex - thus negating the need to remove the case for use. I also wanted a dock that had a small footprint and also looked nice. And finally, it needed to be easy to build (minimal bells + whistles).

Thus, I came up with a system where the pogo pins are fixed on the horizontal plane and 6 adjustable posts hold the GNex in a vertical landscape position above them. Four of the posts (two on each side) prevent the phone from flopping on either of it's faces while positioning it latitudinal. The remaining two posts position the phone longitudinally. This setup will be tedious to initially adjust - but I believe it is a fair tradeoff for ease of build. Indeed, the most complex part of this build is the base-plate, which everything connects to.

FRONT

RIGHT

TOP

BACK

BOTTOM

Finally, for those of you wondering what that extra up-side-down nut and bolt combination is near the middle. It actually adjusts vertically to sit slightly higher than the power button. Thus, you can wake your phone by gently pressing down on the volume side of the device.*

*I got this last idea from a post I read in one of the other dock threads ... wish I could find it to properly thank the originator.

[EDIT] Pictures of the actual build + My SketchUp model based on it.

*I'm sorry it's so ... rough. I need to get myself a drill press. Or maybe a Dremel would do the trick ....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonnyg1097:
Great mock up you got here! It definitely gave me some ideas to do for my own. I will be sure to follow this one for sure.

One question I have is, how do you plan on securing the adjustable holders to their spot? Are those screws underneath I see?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zuberio:
Yup, those are screws holding the posts in their slots.
