Has anyone found a way of changing how to get the mapping program to come up. Holding volume+ and power is fine but is there an app that can make it so its holding the menu button or something like that.
[Xperia Play General] silvacrest:
just got my much i5, liking it so far but im not sure how to mount the usb port when i insert my usb cable

once the cable is inserted i go to storage but the "mount usb storage" is grayed out

PS - are there driver i can install? my PC does not seem to detect the i5 at all but once the usb is plugged in it does charge
[Xperia Play General] insane5125:
I havn't had to connect it to my computer. But when I just did it worked fine. :confused:

PS: I'm happy you finally received it and enjoying it.
[Xperia Play General] silvacrest:
lol i just realized it has two usb ports, one at the bottom for charging only and one at the top for data transfer and charging :o

thats a really bizarre setup, i wonder why they added this

PS - thanks, also, the screen on this is really nice, i have a GS3 and side by side, the much i5 has a brighter screen and its just as sharp too

i think im gonna add on screen buttons just for navigation, the hardware home, back and menu are kinda stiff, maybe they will settle in after some use

anyone got a list of recommend emus?
[Xperia Play General] insane5125:
yeah in the developer options you can turn the screen buttons on and have the menu and back as select and start but I like physical buttons.

can't wait to put a custom rom on it I bet this baby flies when overclocked!!!!

also how is your right trigger I think while mine was getting shipped the spring inside came undone. it still works perfectly just doesn't have that nice click sound I do so enjoy.
[Xperia Play General] silvacrest:
both my triggers feel the same so i guess what you said is true, sorry about that

what emus are you using? im not sure where to start
[Xperia Play General] insane5125:
drastic runs perfect and supern64 feels so realistic with these analogs.

I hope the analog sticks get looser the more you use them though. I like almost no pull like ps3.
[Xperia Play General] silvacrest:
i heard good things about drastic but damn, its expensive for a emulator, im hoping all the buttons settle in after a bit of use
[Xperia Play General] insane5125:
I got mine for free but I don't know how others feel about that
[Xperia Play General] insane5125:
But now I know it actually works good I'm going to buy it to support them.
[Xperia Play General] silvacrest:
do you mind me asking where you got it for free?
[Xperia Play General] insane5125:
look in your messages.
[Xperia Play General] wrc1010:
Saw a china miracast adapter that the manufacturer test it with much i5 and look like not really have lag

http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XNjE1MzQ0NDk2.html

It is pre order and will be available at early of November and they also send international but need to pay the shipping cost. Use google translate to translate it to english

http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=2013.1.0.0.gnK9YF&id=22319031203&_u=u1lqr0a1b5cb
[Xperia Play General] insane5125:
That's pretty cool. Thanks.

Has anyone tested it with an HDMI yet.
[Xperia Play General] wrc1010:
Not yet release. It is pre order and will be available on early of November. The video is test by the manufacturer itself.
[Xperia Play General] insane5125:
I was talking about testing the much i5 with just an hdmi cable.
[Xperia Play General] insane5125:
I just asked XDA to make a forum for our phone if you also want a separate forum please post it herehttp://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=46112141#post46112141

Make sure to right it as such iReadyGO Much i5 This is the correct way of righting it. THANK YOU GUYS:good:
[Xperia Play General] silvacrest:
i added my support but honestly dont think we will get anything, china phones, as far as i have seen receive very little attention on these forums unless its huawei/ZTE/oppo and even then, just the mainstream devices
[Xperia Play General] insane5125:
Yeah, but you never know. I think if we get enough people asking for it we can make it happen.

Also thank you for supporting it
[Xperia Play General] silvacrest:
Any recommendations for a good case?
[Xperia Play General] wrc1010:
I test before the much i5 with the hdmi cable and look really good on tv but i dont like to use hdmi cable because it make the much i5 front part there more heavy.
[Xperia Play General] insane5125:
This is what I use and it actualy works quite well. There are other colors on there site. I cut the 3ds part off using a razor blade. can't even tell where it was now.

http://powera.com/Products/PROD_ACC/PLATFORM_LITE/CPFA075312-01

WillGoo.com has also said they will be soon getting accessories for the much i5 but its no telling when that will be.
[Xperia Play General] ozzmanj1:
If you go the Chinese Gfan site (use google chrome to translate) think of it as XDA for China, its that big there. They have support for the Chinese based phones.

http://bbs.gfan.com/forum.php
[Xperia Play General] wrc1010:
Does the gfan site have much i5 forum thread?
[Xperia Play General] Flaîm:
so which one has the better hardware?

i4 or i5?
[Xperia Play General] insane5125:
Its kind of a 50/50

Much i4:

Samsung Exynos 4412 Quad-core 1.4GHz

1GB DDR3

5 -Inch TFT display,800x480 resolution

Much i5:

MTK6589 quad-core 1.2GHz

1G RAM LPDDR2

5-inch IPS full view screen, resolution1280 * 720

On just specs the much i4 to me wins. That's the same processor the gs3 uses. But I have no clue if the i4 has the button mapping feature like the i5 does everywhere I asked I got no answer. Also the only place I can find that sells the i4 is alexpress and I heard its not that reliable.

I'm not trying to sway any opinions but the i5 has button mapping ands it close to 100-200 dollars less and its on a reliable site. Also if you do decide to buy the i4 on alexpress.com make sure you read the description and not just look at the picture iReadyGO has about 3 models of the i4 some with less specs and no phone features. Again I'm not trying to sway you just looking out for everyone.

EDIT: looked around some more and found out the i4 does have button mapping.
[Xperia Play General] silvacrest:
i know insane5125 is trying to be objective but hes done a pretty good job of telling you why you should go for the i5, as far as i can see the only advantage the i4 has is the processor and maybe the design (if you prefer it)
[Xperia Play General] insane5125:
So I liked the look of the Much Launcher but there were some issues with it like no app draw and such so I went looking for a launcher to replace it. I tried the usual but they all changed the look of the phone, sms, and apps like that but not the calendar, calculator and those apps bubbly.

I did however find Linpus Launcher which keeps the bubbly look of all apps except games and downloaded apps. It also has some good features. Only downside is it can't change its orientation to horizontal, but I emailed the developer and they are working on it. So please try it and explore it a little and see what you think about it.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.linpus.launcher

PS: Best part is that its free. :good:
[Xperia Play General] Deen0X:
Hi Guys!

i´m finishing my review for this device (i posted a preliminary version on my blog), and i will post here too, but if you have any question about this, i will try to answer to you.

greetings! :D
[Xperia Play General] silvacrest:
i already have the phone but im hoping you can help, in the muchkey app the key assignment seems to be in Chinese, i've managed to find out the translation for the first page but not the area that is "more key" if you can help with that, that would be great

im also looking forward to your review, im interested to see other peoples views on this device
[Xperia Play General] Deen0X:
i posted a translated apk in my review (www.deen0x.com).

;)
[Xperia Play General] silvacrest:
nicely done, thanks :)
[Xperia Play General] silvacrest:
i just wanted to say that i read most of your review on your blog and found it very helpful, its very in depth, and i thought i already knew most things about this phone but i clearly did not, like i had no idea you could install CWM on this, tincore keymapper and your translation of the muchkey apk

you have gone above and beyond what most paid reviewers would do so i gotta say thanks and i hope anyone interested in this device gives your review a read
[Xperia Play General] Deen0X:
tahnks.

the apk is a translation that the manufacturer did for me, to support on forums.

i hope today put the final vids about this device and publish on most forums (including here)

(and, i hope my english is "understandable"...) XD

greetinigs!
[Xperia Play General] silvacrest:
your english is good enough to understand, more important is that you provide a lot of useful information :)
[Xperia Play General] insane5125:
Very well thought out and nicely researched. Good job. :thumbup:
[Xperia Play General] Flaîm:
this review is great. the only thing that could trump this would be a review of the i4 :D

edit:

does anyone happen to know how trustworthy willgoo.com (or their european partner shop-oye.it) is?

i'm asking because that's basically the only shop i can find that delivers to germany

there i could get it for 305€.

seems reasonable for what that device delivers, isn't it?

edit2:

ok, just reread that i5 review cuz i knew i heard willgoo somewhere today and as it's the company that gave the device to the reviewer it sounds quite trustworthy.

edit3:

and one more thing. how well does it (either i4 or i5) work with ppsspp
[Xperia Play General] Deen0X:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8stArrpe0ic

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5WC-uKoWzY

Some games run well, other no.

^_^
[Xperia Play General] Flaîm:
i think it will be the i4 - as most of you would have guessed already - but i'm still quite unsure :crying:

reasons:

++ more raw power (cpu, gpu, ram: lpddr3 vs lpddr2)

++ flat analogue sticks -> fits better in the pocket

+++ FRONT speakers

+ supposed to have more ROM (16gb)

+ smaller screen-res -> even bigger relative gpu power

+ a few mm smaller

+ big oc potential

~ just about 20€ difference for european customers (shop-oye.it), unless i'm getting the i5 shipped from willgoo, which makes it about 150€ cheaper if there's really free shipping

~ smaller cam res / same as xplay

~ less you-will-never-use-it features

- not sure whether dual-sim or not. again conflicting information. needs some definite answer.

- just android 4.0 (found information of upgrades to 4.1, not sure about 4.2), but who cares about the OS anyway ;)

- higher power consumption

-- smaller battery volume (would be negligible if it wasn't for the already way higher consumption)

sooo, very strong arguements pro i4, but some hefty cons as well :X

is the i4 even getting the same attention by their developers as the i5, i.e. constant updates to the firmware?

nothing worse than buying a dead device that isn't in a decent state (half of the needed information in unreadable languages)
[Xperia Play General] insane5125:
I hope you come to find decision and if it's the i4 we would love to hear your review and opinions on it in the future. About if the i4 is dual sum or not. I'm not quite sure, but it is gsm and cdma that I know for certain.
[Xperia Play General] gamerdell:
JSX S7800B anyone?

1.6 -.1.8ghz rockchip quad core

400 mali gpu

2gb ram

7 inch

and only about 160-170 usd on willgoo pre sells
[Xperia Play General] mehdi.moha:
this one is not a PHONE !!

just a tablet
[Xperia Play General] gamerdell:
Oh okay haha
[Xperia Play General] Flaîm:
so i just ordered the i4.

if anything is unpleasing i'll just make use of my 14-days return right :P

...after gathering the information needed for the review
[Xperia Play General] Red_Kop:
Thank you for that review!

It is brilliant. Really comprehensive, answering everything I wanted to know.
[Xperia Play General] Deen0X:
I updated with some new videos and info about last firmware.

basically, the system performance gain a lot with this firmware. HDMI output is working nicely now, and i don´t appreciate any problem now with Tincore Keymapper (is not generating slowdowns)

i posted some videos with different parameters to show how the device response.
[Xperia Play General] tincore:
So the responsible of the slowdowns was the firmware.
[Xperia Play General] Deen0X:
of course, the old firmware have some issues because using any keymapper causes slowdowns (MuchKey too, but less)
[Xperia Play General] insane5125:
Can't wait to here about it. And who knows if it sounds good enough I might buy the i4 as well. Would you be able to post a video? I can't find a video that just talks about the i4 while showing it off, only people playing games on it. If you can't it's no problem.
[Xperia Play General] Flaîm:
gonna do the best i can
[Xperia Play General] insane5125:
:thumbup:
[Xperia Play General] Erikwithafro:
I ordered mine back in late August, and they've been having some crummy delays. But at least they are fixing problems from the test batches that people have received, so that's a good thing. I'm still very excited to get mine finally, been waiting long enough for it haha. I'll try to post a review about it for people to see as well.
[Xperia Play General] insane5125:
Sounds good.
[Xperia Play General] ozzmanj1:
Just throwing it in. But the Archos Gamepad 2 was announced today and should he available in the coming weeks for $200.
[Xperia Play General] Deen0X:
but... "is not a phone" ^_^
[Xperia Play General] webberb:
This option didn't exist
[Xperia Play General] insane5125:
I wish it was a phone. make that baby a 5 inch display, and you got one sexy peace of hardware.
[Xperia Play General] BensJammin:
There's so many good tablets coming out for gaming now. It's hard to choose! I have my XP which is currently residing in a drawer (until someone offers me decent money for a stable 2.3ghz device ;) ), my JXD S7300 which is showing its age now and will be donated to the missus, and my Xperia Z + Gameklip + Dualshock 3 (which feels very unnatural to me), so I'm torn between selling everything and getting the i5, which makes things easier, or keeping the Z and getting the S7800 (which, with real analog sticks is a real winner for me).

Been looking at the i5 for a while now though as Im on Willgoo and various chinese sites daily. Love chinese phones and tablets. Bought my missus a No.1 S6 (GS4 clone) and it is a brilliant phone. Keeps her happy, which keeps me happy ;)
[Xperia Play General] Flaîm:
do you happen to have some info on the i4 for me as long as i'm waiting for my baby?
[Xperia Play General] Flaîm:
ok, the first thing i found out about the much i4 so far (still didn't arrive):

the i5 reaches a score of 13k to 14k in antutu 4.0.3 while the i4 is able to reach 17.4k

compared to that my current xplay just has 5.4k
[Xperia Play General] insane5125:
Sounds sweet. :thumbup:
[Xperia Play General] insane5125:
Is there any apks that will let you overclock without a past default speeds without custom firmware. Every one i' e tries stops at 1.2 ghz
[Xperia Play General] wrc1010:
I think need a custom firmware to overclock it
[Xperia Play General] Deen0X:
but, why you want to overclock?
[Xperia Play General] wrc1010:
Is not me want to overclock it but someone asking is that any app to do it or not but i dont think the app can do it.

Btw did you talk to the much manufacturer about the problem you face on much i5 and tell them to improve it?
[Xperia Play General] Flaîm:
to reach the 20k mark? :D

edit:

could you test the app "kainy" with your device?
[Xperia Play General] insane5125:
What problem?
[Xperia Play General] wrc1010:
You can read it on the Deen0X blog
[Xperia Play General] insane5125:
I would rather not look through the whole review again.
[Xperia Play General] Flaîm:
i think he's talking about the link between the dpad & left analog stick
[Xperia Play General] insane5125:
I don't see the problem with it it hasn't affected me At all.
[Xperia Play General] Flaîm:
but there are games that benefit from having them both seperated so they can fulfill different tasks.
[Xperia Play General] BensJammin:
Did they do that on the Much too? JXD did it with the s7300 and whilst it wasn't a massive problem in general, games like riptide 2 which required both analogs working properly to do stunts, just doesn't work without mapping, which is unnecessary. JXD learnt from their mistakes and others should have too.
[Xperia Play General] Deen0X:
the "problem" is that much don´t have a proper joystick driver. This may benefit on many games and apps. I hope Much take in consider these suggest and release a firmware with a proper joystick driver, in the same way JXD release their firmware for JXDS7300B (that from start, they release a privative driver, but last firmwares they include a real joystick driver, and with this many apps works directly with their controls)

the device have SOFT linked Left sitck and DPAD. You can unse their own keymapper and map them in separated way, but working without the mapper, both controls release the same values.

This is a SOFT problem. The device DON´T HAVE hardware linked these two controls. For now is a problem basically in some emulators, where yo cannot map directly left analog stick and dpad on the app (N64 in example), but you can map them to screen without problems.

and the other "issue" is that right stick, as i mentioned is a private driver for them, then there is no way to map this into emulators. fortunately we have Tincore keymapper that handle all controls on the device, and solve major of these issues.

The issues related with controls are not serious really, but will be fantastic if MUCH people solve them and give a proper joystick driver for us.
[Xperia Play General] Flaîm:
so basically every issue it has has a unique workaround?

like:

- no translation available? there are apps on the store doing the same thing that are translated

- problem with controls? get tincore keymapper

looks like the device has an enormous potential and can become the so long craved for successor of the xperia play with a custom rom that replaces all those problematic stuff coming from much with these solutions :D
[Xperia Play General] insane5125:
Speaking of which has any one considered making a custom firmware yet? Also when reading the review he said you can go on there website and update it early. Has anyone done this? what new features did it add?
[Xperia Play General] Flaîm:
waiting for about a week now just for the tracking number. written a ticket to the shop where i ordered it and that's the answer:

"We are waiting for the customs clearance of the first pallet arriving in our store. We will send you your product with an extra gift for her.

We will send you the tracking number soon express courier.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperate."

far from what i'd call good english, but...

a gift?! :D

wondering what it could be. would be awesome if it was some kind of screenprotector, so i don't have to get one
[Xperia Play General] silvacrest:
My much came with a screen protector already applied

Sorry to hear about your delays
[Xperia Play General] insane5125:
I like when companies apply them for you I can't stand doing it myself. DEM BUBBLES!!:mad:

Yeah, sorry about your delay as well. Let us know what your free gift is once you receive it i'm curious.
[Xperia Play General] Flaîm:
that's for me not a big hassle to have it free of bubbles. it's all about the technique.

my problem with applying it myself is that it takes ages to get all the trapped dust under the screen protector off.

now imagine how curious i am waiting now for 2 parcels (the i4 and a replacement part for my xplay - the audio jack. currently having to carry an mp3 player alongside my xplay :( ) AND this mysterious gift :D
[Xperia Play General] mehdi.moha:
can anyone please compare much i-5 and jdx S7800 ?

are both of them aa phone ?

witch one is better , i think it's time to change my xperia play ...
[Xperia Play General] Deen0X:
no, you cannot compare directly. S7800 is a 7" tablet with controls. There is no SIM, no bluetooth, etc., and Much is a full featured phablet (smartphone).

S7800 is a rockchip device (that figured to run as a performance device) to , with a firmware that need some fixes to solve important problems (such the screen rate refresh)

Much is a Mediatek device (that run as a low consumption device), with a firmware that need some fixes to improve the experience, but is running ok "out of the box"

and of course, battery are another big big big difference. (much can work continuously for 6-8 hours without problems)

greetings!
[Xperia Play General] insane5125:
So what games have you found that work really well with the much controls. Also is there a good psx emulator that has both analog sticks and all the other controls?
[Xperia Play General] Flaîm:
fpse and psxperia

everything else is trash basically
[Xperia Play General] Deen0X:
better than fpse is epsxe

and of course Retroarch (but don´t support analogs)
[Xperia Play General] insane5125:
I can't find psxperia but I am using epsxe and I love it. Anyone got a link to Psxperia so I can try it.
[Xperia Play General] Flaîm:
psxperia is the xperia play internal emulator ;)

https://github.com/yifanlu/PSXperia
[Xperia Play General] insane5125:
Oh alright thanks.
[Xperia Play General] mehdi.moha:
thank u so much

so , much i-5 is good enught for me , i'm looking for a phablet , not tablet ...
[Xperia Play General] Flaîm:
so my i4 just arrived.

first shock: it doesn't have a microSD card slot

next thing is i can't get a signal

the only positive thing so far is that it reaches 17k points in antutu 4.0.4

i think that's already enough reason to return it :/

edit: it's a single sim device, despite being advertised as dual sim
[Xperia Play General] silvacrest:
wow, no SD card slot? that alone would make me return it

where are you located and what bands does your network use? it might be a problem where the phone simply does not support your sim
[Xperia Play General] Flaîm:
yeah. i've read that if you're brave enough to open the device you could replace it, but it would not support the other microSD's

i'm from germany and i ordered the device from an italian shop

dunno about the bands

edit: moreover can't update the firmware neither OTA (returns a "error: update failed" message), nor OTG (windows fails to find correct drivers for it...

edit2: another issue is that the analogue sticks are buggy. when pulling them somewhere and releasing them the software doesn't register that they are released untill you pull them into another direction and they stay there (in the software)
[Xperia Play General] Deen0X:
Try using Tincore. this may help to you with these kind of issues
[Xperia Play General] mehdi.moha:
what about much i-5 ?

is that the same ? full of bug ?

another question , is the much i-5 from Italian company ?

---------- Post added at 07:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:58 AM ----------

what about much i-5 ?

is that the same ? full of bug ?

another question , is the much i-5 from Italian company ?
[Xperia Play General] Flaîm:
i tried, but i couldn't get it to work. i was able to launch it on the homescreen, but not in any game.

then i tried gamekeyboard but it wasn't able to access the analogues at all.

the i5 is from the same asian company as the i4.

just read this http://manguiro.blogspot.com.es/

it has all the answers you seek.
