i have been thinking of getting this phone or swap for my iphone as i do like playing games on a portable device i was wondering if it is still worth getting and how are you people finding it :D
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abdel12345:
The xperia play is a great phone and ghe best for gaming but its pretty outdated specs wise.if you don't care about specs and just want a good gaming phone than go for it. But if you want want a newer phone with good specs then get something newer like an s3 or something more affordable. But if you like gaming and don't care about old hardware and outdated software ( its stuck on gb unless you wanna flash a custom rom) then go for it
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psxpetey:
Who cares about specs this phone runs better and is more stable then most phones on the,market lol plus you can overclovk the crap out of it
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fritzbored:
its the only phone in the market that has a real life playstation touchpad yes it may have lower specs than the one thats out there, but the feel of having android phone + a playstation certified gaming gadget can never be traded by anything else out there. this phone will be my best and will forever be cherished by a gamer like me :angel:

i was worried about the ram its only 512 ive hardly had a phone with 512mb my current other phone is atrix dual core and 1 gb ram i also have an iphone which i dont want
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CyberScopes:
This phone might have low ram and bad specs, but games still go much faster on the xperia play then on other devices with better specs.

And if games start to lag, unlock your bootloader, then flash a kernel and overclock.

Still lag, debloat your phone.

Still lag, flash tweaks eg AdrenoBooster

I would go with a newer phone I believed the xperia z is PS certified so you get exclusive games and its 5" 1080p full HD so games will look amazing on there...I know I would so swap my play for a newer phone in a heartbeat as I'm not a big gamer
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psxpetey:
I believe the Xperia z would be an awesome phone choice for someone with gigantism or something 5 inch display like come on thats ridiculous. You cant even hold it in your hand comfortably. Maybe soon they will come out with phone backpacks cause unless you have ganster pants that monster is not going to fit in your pocket.

Playing games on a touch screen device is good but not the same as playing on xperia play
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chery2k:
Its not worth getting xperia play. A few weeks ago I thought it is worth to have an xperia play for gaming, phone, bluetooth, etc all in one little device... With all those I listed above is what I use on my xperia play it became a burden because it drains the CPU resources to do certain for instance gaming, and because it lacks ram, internal memory. I felt it was wasnt worth it a long run. Get a ps3 controller with a stand and be done with it.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mo3bium:
well, its almost 2016 and I don't give a crap about specs on my phone, maybe on my pc for heavy gaming like shadows of mordor. But if you really love games F... all others. sure you can be gay and get a moga controller or other, but then you need a stand for your phone(unless it has one) then you have to carry a controller around like a putz! why do I really need to walkaround like a gay batman with a fanny pack in lieu of my utility belt? and ram? who cares root it unlock the boot loader and use sd card ext give your self whatever size you want good god! oh the X-play successfully use the 64 gb sd( I know cause its in mine 4 years now) is that the only defense new phones have that and speed? So what you had a 90 ghzx 32 gb phone SO??? IT DOES NOT HAVE A BUILT IN DUAL TOUCHPAD CONTROLLER. like one guy said ramp up the speed a little to alleviate sluggish response. I run mine a 1300 MHz (don't want to burn up the processor) and its almost 2016 , but with a controller, I get to play DS games (almost all of them ) all snes, genesis, Gba , and now PSP games and N64 games (quite a few) run (most of them) and all of the PSX library too then all the other games out there for android and the small handful of x-play exclusives. dead space dungeon hunter 2 3 and 4 shadowgun GTA 3 AVP minecraft PE all angry birds rainbow 6 HD ,backstab, Aidens crons man the list goes on.

So if you are agamer, don't get anything else period because it has a controller and the massive list of highly functioning emulators to go with it. ( seven consoles in one plus android games). if you just want a really powerful phone get a Z or i phone 6 or some Shiite because you know that you need that raw power for your texting and twatting. LMFAO but you already know what youre going to do , so just do it and stop asking questions.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psxpetey:
It's funny how android fanboys basically jack off to specs but a single core phone from 2011 still keeps up in gaming lol. You can even install up to jelly bean and have everything working kitkat and lollipop work but the touchpads are still being worked on. If the Xperia play could be modded to have LTE everyone would probably still have it. Yes other phones have bigger screens and are faster but if it is gaming that is your passion the play is THE ONLY WAY TO GO. Like this guy says you can use the sd as ram lol. It will be slower doing some things but gaming with that controller just can't be matched. If Sony made a derivative of the Z that had a gamepad I'd buy it the second it came out lol. Because my plays flex cable went out when I was away I had to get a new phone aka the Ion and now I have a z3 which is nice because it has alot of awesome features but I still have and still use a Xperia play! Gaming on a touchscreen really sucks.

Someone even modded the remote play apk so you theoretically could play your Ps4 on your Xperia play if you have the Sony files on your rom!

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saqibkhan:
Don't get the Xperia Play now.. move on and get a z5 and a PS controller attachd to it or something.. this phone will be dead very soon.. Gaming wise. as a phone its still good. newer games demand more from the phone which Play cant give.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david7380:
Well for me the Xperia Play has been the best phone ever made, the build quality is amazing the design is perfect, the speakers are great, battery life outstanding, the Camera is still great for today standards and the physical controls just make the difference, no other phone in the market offers all that.

My advice is, get an Xperia play if you mainly care about gaming and only use your phone for basic stuff like moderate messaging, phone calls, whatsapp, listening to music, taking some photos.

If you use a lot of Facebook, email, surfing the web, google app and other heavy apps then I advise to stay away from the Play, the single core and the 512mb of ram are just not enough for multitasking, no matter how much you tweak it, the experience will be annoying. Mainly due to poorly optimized apps from developers, for instance the Facebook app will make the XPlay unusable.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saqibkhan:
let me add to that many of the apps that I use.. have a min. requirement of 4.0.4+ or ICS+ and if we use Xperia play for real gaming.. we have to stay at GB or 2.3.7 .. so u would have to choose between Apps or Gaming.. so yes

Gaming wise this phone is the best.. that too cant play newer games I believe.. as time will pass newer games will have a min requirement of 4+ too I believe.. so this phone is loosing the battle everyday in that sense.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psxpetey:
Why do you have to stay below jelly bean I believe everything works. I'm not sure about kit kat tho. But the majority the VAST majority support down to ICS which our plays do have. You can mod ICS or pick up a rom to make gaming epic. Just trust me on this one.

not sure if anyone still visits this thread, I just got an Xperia Play (R800at) today. been playing around a bit with it (I collect unique cell phones still looking for a nice inexpensive LG Thrill (in good shape lol) and I'm done lol)

Anyway, was looking on here to see what mods and such were available. hate the low memory. wanna kill off the FB app as I prolly wont use it there. just wanna load some emu's and a streaming music app (Soma FM) . also, probably a silly question, did the market end for this phone? (the game market I mean. both the playstation app and the xperia play app (the one that starts when you open the controls) wont connect to download)

Also whats the best root method?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ch3mn3y:
PS Market is down since Autumn, but Xperia Play App and Fun&Games fid I remember it's name right) was never a full shop, it was more a direction to Google Play, so it should still do it's job.

For the Root: if Your fw is. 58 or older use Doomlord's Toolkit. If newer: move to. 58 Enhanced or custom rom or You will ned to use some chinese crap (iroot, vroot maybe kingo).

i have an R800at running baseband 1290-21-42 build 3.0.1.B.0.270. what I would love is either a rom with better performance (still supporting the control pad) or a stock rom with link2sd support so I can load more. I am rooted (SuperOneClick 2.3.3) and have used titanium backup to backup and remove a lot of the bloat.. not enough though :< including most of the included games.

also am I wrong in guessing they included a different game bundle with each variant?

also, do any versions include a keypad mapper (like the ones the GPD or JXD tablets use? or even Tincore)

Can You unlock bootloader (I'm not sure if at version can dop that for free)?

I yes try Gin2KitKat with LuPuS_GB kernel. If not try only G2KK. For me it's the best rom here, even better after debloating (at least there was some app unneeded for me) and using some less Ram hungry apps.

my Xplay bit the dust R.I.P ! sad face; :(

yeah mine died a couple months ago, still not sure why? so I found the freakin indestructible s6 active. Its pretty cool, electric shock proof, water proof drop proof, ya know just awesome well - ish. I have one massive complaint but it still a kickin' phone and it has an ir blaster (massive boon for me) because it works for all the tvs and devices in the house. so it makes up for the loss of a gamepad - but games still aren't very playable on touch. the big downside is that it is unrootable and that catches me in the craw a bit but hey its a big phone (64 gb) so meh! the big but is here > I was playing GameCube games, but it was unrootable so when I saw the ota for marshmallow I took it and poof! no more dolphin, the games are all missing their texture skins(like playing with clay dolls. so I researched found out the gpus in the update cant process the graphics properly broken graphics drivers, so I see the next ota for nougat hoping that the upgrade will fix it> nope made it completely unplayable only a black screen lmao. man I miss my Xplay.

now forced to join the ranks of putzes - because you cannot play games on a touch screen properly you have to buy a portable controller. yes I have been forced to join the ranks of the "gay fanny pack batmen. :) but the good news from it is I found a really cool controller called the boundabay fehziwee? nicknamed the "WEE" funny right? I was trying to convert an image to bbcode for forums for this post but lookpic seems to be gone? so I cant share the picture w/u here. anyways, I grabbed one on eBay for 30 bucks and now my s6 active looks like a big psp. which is pretty funny and gives me solace to the loss of my xplay but still no dolphin( Yeah, I know first world problems huh? ). So I highly recommend it, check it out Its pretty neat.

Ever since upgrading to Autosync 3.7.1 I've found that I cannot Autosync after my PC (Thinkpad 600X / Windows 2000 Prof) comes out of hibernation. My T-Mobile PPCPE cradle is connected to the USB on my Thinkpad docking station at the office. Normally when I leave my office I just undock the notebook and then hibernate it. After I work at home I just hibernate it again and then plug it into the docking station when I get to the office and go.

Since Autosync 3.7.1, whenever I do this when I plug the PPCPE into the cradle Autosync does not find the device. Even the "Get Connected" function does not find it even though it scans the COM ports and USB and shows the USB is available (I know the USB is working as I have a desktop scanner connected to USB and it recovers find when I plug in).

If I restart the notbook from power-off everything is fine, just if it starts from hibernate. Anyone seen this behavior and have a solution?

I had the EXACT same problems under 3.7 when using the cradle and my HP laptop on W2K Pro. Was never able to resolve. I've been pretty mobile lately, haven't had the laptop in the dock for a few months, so I do all my synching via IrDA now.

Unfortunately, I was never able to resolve the issue, I'm sure if I was back on my dock, it would still be happening. I am making the switch to XP Pro this week, I'll let you know if that eliminates the problem.

I have tried several times to get CM 10.1 installed on my Kindle Fire 8.9 and every time I get the red wipe screen trying to install the 2nd boot loader. After searching through the forums I have not found a definitive explanation (not that its not out there, but i didn't find one) of what causes the red screen, just how to recover from it.

I have tried using HashCode's process

My Kindle is currently running Version 8.1.4 installed from the latest KFFirstAide (option 7). I have successfully rooted the device and I have been able to recover after the red screen each time.

Device Status before attempting to install 2nd boot loader

- Enabled ADB on Kindle

- Enabled Allow 3rd party software

- Verified ADB Commands can be executed

I used this tool KFHD_SRTv2.1- 8.1.4 To get into fastboot when I had the solid red screen then used option 7 to completely wipe and restore their is probably another way to just do the boot but it did work for me (did it today even)

Turn the kindle off (hold power down)

Load the KFHD_SRTv2.1- 8.1.4 tool using run as administrator

then use option 1

once your kindle says its in fastboot then close that utility and run the First aid

I know you said you aren't on 8.3, but it sounds like the bootloader issue Hash talks about in step 4.5 of his post. You could try flashing the bootloader he posts in that step to see if that fixes your issue. I had the same problem, until I flashed it.

[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
I think fattire said Amazon enabled fastboot in this state. On KF2 and KFHD7, this is possible with a factory cable. I guess it's also possible that they have enabled the use of the factory cable for the KFHD8.9, but I'm only speculating.

Before the update, flashing unsigned boot and recovery partitions without the 2nd bootloader properly functioning, the device just wouldn't turn on. Now, not only will the device turn on, but some are even fixable in this state. I'm wondering if Amazon realized that wasn't cost effective to send every broken modified device to a specific secure location to get reflashed.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cre8ed1:
I don't quite remember what I did, but I was able to fix the "red wipe" screen on my Kindle 8.9.

I think I got this when I first tried installing 8.9StariROM when it was first posted on the forum. I did not know that the red screen could appear if TWRP was not installed already, and I think that's why I got the red screen error.

I didn't really know what it was all about, but somehow I was able to make my kindle go into the fastboot using this command (fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product) and basically followed the instruction here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2128175

I kept getting device not found error on ADB commands, so I skipped to STEP 4.5 and ran below commands in order: (of course, I downloaded all those files as well)

fastboot -i 0x1949 flash bootloader kfhd8-u-boot-prod-8.1.4.bin

fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot kfhd8-freedom-boot-8.3.0.img

fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery kfhd8-twrp-2.4.4.0-recovery.img

then I think I ran fastboot -i 0x1949 flash system starirom-system.img to load the system image and I was able to have a working kindle 8.9 again.

I hope this helps.
