8 month's...

But with my Galaxy Nexus and Sixaxis Controller App, it basically rendered my R800x

unnecessary

Edit...

But my son use's it all the time!

2 mounth after release ( on 2011 )

AND I STILL KEEP MY DREAMING ON XPERIA PLAY 2...
[Xperia Play General] bangawasawa:
1 month, and already want to get rid of it. Don't get me wrong it's a fantastic device for gaming, but from time to time I need it also to provide a wifi hotspot for my laptop, and this feature does not seem to work properly which pisses me off.

I need this function for my work (I work from home) and any other smartphone I've had was able to do it properly.

Not found any useful info on the web, maybe someone in this thread can help?

The 3G connection works fine, but as soon as I switch the phone to wifi hotspot mode (or wifi via USB), it loses connection.
[Xperia Play General] ILikeTheWayYouMove2:
That's strange mine works OK as whb I go to my mates he connects his Xbox an laptop to my phone as a wifi hotspot maybe something to do with your carrier if your plans supports it or not
[Xperia Play General] narflynn619:
^ Yeah, mine works fine, too. Used it before to download movies via torrent while away from my home Wi-Fi antenna. :D

Turned a year old earlier this month, the 8th to be Exact!
[Xperia Play General] TLRtheory:
Can 'ya blame us? Xperia Play brings something to the table that is absolutely impossible to replace.

Any guy can try to tag on some weak-ass, half-assed bluetooth controller and claim they have everything the Xperia Play has, but that's never truly correct. They have to fight with pairing session hell for every gaming experience, have to lug around something that's inconvenient, have to go through even more inconvenient touchscreen-to-button mapping (with time-consuming profile loading per every game) then there's cases like Eternal Legacy where they absolutely cannot get the level of precise, universal navigation that Xperia Play gamers have. That holds true for the Gametel Controller, GameKlip, MOGA, Archos Gamepad, iControlPad and all other solutions. Not a single one is actually capable of being a real, full-fledged Xperia Play replacement.
[Xperia Play General] ozzmanj1:
As TL stasted, that is the one reason why despite my contract with Verizon ending in 3 weeks (cant wait) I will be using my unlocked AT&T XP that I purchased recently. I have been able to play with the GS3 the Note, Note 2 and several other devices and nothing waves my flag.

My prior phone before the play was a Motoroal Droid 2 with a little game overlay that went over the keyboard. I refuse to have to go back to carrying a phone and a game adapter when the play does it all in one. Its just silly in my mind to go back to that after having the play. Plus its not like I can carry the gamepad/adapter to work with me. No..... the PLAY although dated hardware wise still has so many games for it that I have yet to play that I honestly dont see how or why I need to go for something else. Considiering that I have already played with the latest and greatest hardware and was unimpressed...... I despise touch screen gaming... the Xperia PLAY is Godsend.....
[Xperia Play General] jcarbox:
Since the very first month: April 15, 2011. :cool:
[Xperia Play General] TheCraig:
about 15 months, I don't regret moving to the Galaxy S3 as my primary device, I find the PS3 controller more than enough to satisfy my gaming for Android.

I still own an Xperia Play but its not been used since the 10th of December, In fact its not been charged since then, I still think its a good phone but it isn't for me anymore.
[Xperia Play General] Leraeniesh:
I would do the same, but I've found that I barely ever use the gamepad when I usually have my tablet and a dual shock 3 around (provides a much better experience IMO)

Because of that, I'll probably stuff my Play in a drawer once I have something to replace it.

[Xperia Play General] h4mza:
About 3 weeks, would've bought it over a year ago if they were in stock at local stores.
[Xperia Play General] BensJammin:
Since sept 2012. Swapped my i9000 for a mini pro and £60 and went and bought the xplay for not a lot more. Not regretted a single minute of it. Overclocked to 1.7GHz on NXT LE and with the 3600mah battery I get plenty of usage from it.

As for the mini pro, it was taken out of the box once to check it worked and has remained in it ever since. It seems too nice to sell it but it's no good to me either.
[Xperia Play General] romeo_charly:
I've my XPlay since October 11th 2011 and don't wanna change it.

The other guys are right ehen they say that isn't an effective replacement for our really beauty Plays! :D

My next phone will be a Xperia Z, but my Play will be with me forever and ever!! I really love my phone! :good:

[Xperia Play General] Growling Clover:
Since August 2011 and still the best phone I've owned.

Dropped it last month and shattered the screen, I may have shed a tear. On my third screen now and got tape all over the phone keeping it together. Battlescars of how awesome this phone really is :)
[Xperia Play General] DSoundso:
AW: how long have you owned your play?

Since christmas '11. Wow, I just realised that now. It is 'that' old already?!

Just changed the digitizer and am very satisfied with it's steadiness.
[Xperia Play General] RozenTensai:
Just since December 23rd, 2011 18:37, and yes, I remembered even the hour because I wanted this phone so bad, have dropped it 2 times last year, and have some scars, but they prove the durability of this awesome phone, oh, yeah, it dropped with an extended battery on (those 3600mAh double-sized ones) so I can show everyone that asks me about the scars on it, that it's almost a military-quality build :p
[Xperia Play General] abdel12345:

They replace the Xperia Play???

To those who say that replace the Xperia Play with (A Galaxy S3, Nexus 4 or Any Tablet Connecting you a Dual-Shock 3,

let me tell you the following:

what happens if you are traveling on a train or in a taxi .. or are waiting to get care from the hospital, or something .. (They take your tablet, S3 or Nexus 4 and its Dual-Shock 3 pocket to get to play??? Do not think so.!! LOL

[Xperia Play General] fvig2001:
I've had it for a year and 6 months if I recall correctly. I still use it as my mp3 player/gaming goto but I use my Galaxy Note 10.1 as my main phone.
[Xperia Play General] Fenrir007:
Had mine only for a year, and it was mostly an accidental acquisition (got a new contract with a different company and they offered me either a very, very small discount on my phone bill or a BIG discount on a Xperia Play - I'm glad I made the right choice).
[Xperia Play General] TLRtheory:
I know a guy who competes in those crazy Street Fighter tournaments. You see wimps online that simply set their clan tag to "MLG" without having any actual skill...but this dude actually could be a MLG'er any day of the week.

In most situations, we could pick any fighting game and I couldn't even land a hit on him... but when he's playing on touchscreen and I have my Xperia Play, I win all the time.

It's obvious which is the superior format.

My friend got this play as a pre-release from Sony. (Somehow he gets a lot of stuff early from Sony). After a few months, Sony sent him something newer and he gave the xperia play to me as a birthday gift. :)

Hey guys, do you know any app that has pre-built scripts like for mounting system rw / ro or reboot etc? I've used Rom ToolBox but it comes with a lot of unnecessary stuff that I don't use. Any suggestions?

Thanx! :)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Nikhil:
Buddy Rom ToolBox is an awesome app..i dont know whether there exists any app which have all scripting features as Rom ToolBox have but still You can give a try to This App
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] The-Droidster:
Thanx for looking up bro. As I said, Rom Tool Box has many unnecessary functions. So, now I've settled on Jrummy's busybox installer, which serves 2 purposes, checks for and updates the busybox and also has the scripts function I wanted. :good:
[HTC One X+] kanabeach44:
Hi,

I think i have found why when I plug my HTC One X in Recovery Mode, my windows 7 (64bit) show me Error in installation of MTP Device driver.

I found that I have only one memory as 64 Gbits. There is not internal memory like 2 Gbits for example for internal and the rest for SD.

Howewer, HTC Sync app is installed on SD Card (the only actual memory), it should be installed on internal memory...

What problem i made during rooting or install my ROM ?!

Thanks
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naveediftikhar:
hey guys i just flashed a new rom and was playing with it...ran antutu and suddenly my phone died...didnt respond to anything..my battery was around 50 percent so i plugged it into the wall charger to see if my love had died but a strange red light poped up which started blinking..so i pressed the home button again thinkin that the phone had revived but the light went away...only to not come back..so i plug it into the usb and the phone turns on..the charging icon comes up..and then the phone reboots again into the charging icon..this goes on and on with a constant red light.. only until when i try to start the phone again where the light starts blinking and the bootloop stops leaving the phn dead again :s...i can get into bootloader but that is very rarely aswell cause most of the time download mode shows up.

to top up the mess after getting into the bootloader i tired flashing the stock kernel..stock recovery..what not..all goes fine only until the phone reboots..only to enter into this charging icon bootloop again..no matter what i do..if the phone reboots somehow while being inside the bootloader the bootloop starts again...ive been at it for the past hour and nothin has sufficed ..please help me...i knw the phone isnt bricked as it wudnt have turned on at all..but wateva it is anyone..please help me!

the rom i had just flashed was chainfire X sr 5!..!

This isn't new. Leave it on the charger for a few hours and try again.

doesnt help as even on charger the bootoop continues.. :S

What about flashing the bootloader? (Not boot)

Download the file and place in the same folder as fastboot then run cmd and type those commands below
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naveediftikhar:
just flashed a factory image via wugfreshes tool kit...it rebooted in between the process but luckily i immediately 3 buttoned it into the bootloader...so yeah everythin is stock now but even then the device is not responding!

tried ur way...didnt make a diff! :S :crying:
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] estallings15:
:face palm:

It doesn't matter if it continues on charger. The phone needs to cool off and reset. You said this happened during a benchmark, right? Were you overclocked?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naveediftikhar:
nopes no overclocking..ive got no idea wats up so m jus gonna leave it on the charger over night while it bootloops on the charging icon whole night long..!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] estallings15:
I would leave it in bootloader.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naveediftikhar:
itll still be charging..i mean i cant take off the charger else it just shuts down..but ill try it..!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] estallings15:
It will charge in bootloader. It just won't be wearing itself out trying to boot.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naveediftikhar:
i hope it works out..! !
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
thats the red light of death, or red light of scaring you to death. if you can get into the bootloader, press the power off option then let it charge. what happened is that your device thinks that it went below 0% in battery charge.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naveediftikhar:
ok i get all that..but what shud i do now..i cant turn the device off as it only turns on into that lighting bolt battery icon only to again reboot..:s..ive got no idea what shud i do...its been into the bootloader for a good half hr now(wonder why it doesnt reboot there :eek: )...m gonna keep it there for another hr or two then check out whatll happen...!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
several hours should do. I kept mine on the charger all night, it booted later.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] estallings15:
See, OP. I told you it wasn't a "one of a kind" bootloop.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naveediftikhar:
ok i accept that it aint one of a kind...but wat i dont get is how did u guys put it on the charge..? i mean i just cant plug the device into a charger without it going into a bootloop!..which obviously wont be helping the cause as constant booting will drain the battery!..so how did u all put it on the charge?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naveediftikhar:
guys thx alot..fixed it..finally..!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] estallings15:
Tada. All it needed was time.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naveediftikhar:
nah not really..had the phn on charge over night..didnt do any good..then found this another thread abt the same issue where ppl mentioned quite a few ways..i personally in the bootloader just fastboot wiped everythin and then without the reboot in between fastboot flashed everything all over..that didnt do any good..but then i flashed a custom recovery n tried permanenting it through mskips toolkit..it gave me a constantly sticking google screen..which after turned into the google X bootscreen..for 30 mins it stuck there..after which i again fastboot wiped everything n reflashed through fastboot..and only then it started...

personally i dont think its the matter of battery or anything else...something corrupts all the partitons..as when i was in recovery i wiped cache, dalvik cache,system, user data and they all returned an error of the directory not being there..battery was fine...but something somehow either corrupts all the partitions except for bootloader or something corrupts the sd card in whole...just my two cents!

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vivek90:
Heys Guys Im having an issue with my Captivate, its was working fine for the past week. It started giving me problems like battery temps too high, cant charge, had to charge it manually, removing battery & charging it all night. All this happened when im with stock rom latest with leaked 2.3.5

& i did unlock this with changing the 01 digit to 00 in efs file.

From the past 2 days im trying to install CM10,9, 10.1..... after installation it shuts down itself. Not able to use it.

Is there any way around to make this work. If pics are needed i can provide that too.

Thanks
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vivek90:
No reply... :/

Some one should have had an issue.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
When/how does it happen?

What are the changes/mods you made?

Did you restore anything?

Did you try different kernel settings?

Did you try flashing a different kernel (like Semaphore?) or flashing a different ROM?

I could be asking more questions but really, I dunno what causes it, I can only guess. Also a search in the CM10.1 thread might give you an answer to your SoD <-- Should've been your first step*
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vivek90:
It just happened, battery temp too high errors, thought flashing CM9 would solve this, was bored of Stock Gingerbread, flashed corn kernel & flashed cm9 rom. I did mod anything else. That all
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
Battery temp to high is a big problem. Did you overcloak? Have you running bunch of stuff at the same time?

When it shuts down, does it reboot by itself or you have to do it manually?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laughingT:
Sounds like Battery health status does not equal healthy. That forces an immediate shutdown, whether due to temperature or excessive internal resistance. That's because once a Li ion battery reaches critical temperature, it combusts and destroys your phone, burns you and anything around it, etc.

GET ANOTHER BATTERY ASAP.

Stop trying to circumvent high temperature shut down.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vivek90:
Recently i bought a new battery, original samsung make, it states the same thing "charging paused for battery durability" sometimes "Charging stopped battery temps high". No overclocking here, just used to call, receive & wifi hotspot. Currently i charge battery in a battery charger & use it in phone.

U pointed out something right, sometimes screen just goes blank, i have to manually switch it on.

I bought a new battery & it states the same thing "charging paused for battery durability" sometimes "Charging stopped battery temps high".

But im not able to under stand, why is Cynogenmod shuts down itself after installation, can i just stop shutting down ?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
I think it's not CM related but hardware related. Does this happen when not using the wifi hotspot too?

I'm thinking your battery is bad (even if new), charger is bad, connection is bad (maybe from water/humidity) or that your usb port is bad. No easy way of finding it other than testing.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vivek90:
May be yes, the phone some times just goes blank, i have to manually switch ON. The same battery works well in my frnds phone quite well.

Port dont know, i can copy files no errors even now when i plug it in on stock gingerbread the battery doesnt charge but can copy files as before.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laughingT:
Since the batt works well in other phone, a couple of ideas. Perhaps silly to ask, but just checking:

did you wipe battery stats in cwm after flashing?

did you clean the phone's battery terminals with a bit of alcohol?

what's the battery health,temperature and voltage history look like, if you can get it. you can log it with battery monitor widget or similar app. set to short 1 minute interval for testing.
