It depends. My s7300b has been perfect for me. It has analog nubs rather than sliders but they are significantly better than the PSP ones! Many people have had quality issues with it on dingoonity though. There's a lot of support on those forums for custom Roms etc so most bugs get ironed out. Build quality is OK, doesn't feel like a premium product but at the same time not cheapy, and definitely fit for purpose. The S7800 has sticks but I have never tried them as I haven't got mine yet I think deenox has one so he could fill you on this. Hope that helps :)
[Xperia Play General] saqibkhan:
haha.. wow.. Mr Smarty Pants had something really nice to say.. its not about money.. I can afford all this plastic.. but we hardcore Xplay fans still sticking to it.. and trying to compare and upgrade its specs to the newer devices in the market..

anyways.. no more off topic from me plz. am off this thread .. best of luck to all.

if I get to know of any newer devices.. I would let you guys know. :D
[Xperia Play General] Visa Declined:
There's nothing "hardcore" about sticking with a device that can no longer play the latest games coming out. And calling me names only proves that you are childish.
[Xperia Play General] psxpetey:
Ya if xperia play had lte id go back lol such an epic phone
[Xperia Play General] XPlayera:
Since when has the Vita a phone feature :confused:
[Xperia Play General] Dilemina:
That would be sweet. If it did, I might have bought it instead of this gaming phone. But for now this is what works. Plus I like the innovative independent developers that surround the android os.
[Xperia Play General] insane5125:
I get this comment every time I use my phone. :D
[Xperia Play General] insane5125:
Also I noticed that your new around here. Welcome, I hope you find this forum as amazing as I do. Have any questions or comments feel free to post them and well gladly help. HAPPY GAMING!!!!!:D

of course, Deen0X does better reviews of these devices. Personally, his reviews are top notch! :good:
[Xperia Play General] silvacrest:
This JDX handheld/phone looks very interesting, my main gripes with my i5 are the home/menu/back keys are still to stiff, the D Pad is almost useless for anything other then simple tasks and the ergonomics aka holding the device and putting it in your pocket felt bad in my opinion

the D Pad just from looks on the JDX appears better and it has the shape of a normal phone, only downside is the screen res

also this new MTK processor is supposed to have a mali 400 mp2 rather then the SGX544MP, anyone know if that is actually better then the i5?
[Xperia Play General] Dilemina:
The understand your gripes about the dpad but for some games I like it. I use it for "King of fighters android edition" and it feels good. Somewhat like the old Sega Genesis or Saturn dpad. Which were good for pulling off those quarter circle and half circle commands. When I play other games, lets say new super Mario brothers emulated on drastic, It has a hard time registering if I am pressing down or forward. Where a cross styled dpad, like on the xperia play, or the jxd device, would be preferable.
[Xperia Play General] Deen0X:
i like to play Soul Calibur (one of the games that i like to play on any device and/or console, and i´m so usual with the commands of this game) and with a little of practice you can use without problems on the Much i5.

the hardest move to do is half circle (b, bd, d, df, f or inverse), because sometimes only register one of the diagonals on the circle, but all other moves are fine in general.

i agree that JXD dpad are better in general speaking (Cross shape is the best dpad, in my opinion), but much dpad is ok in general. May be better in next versions (a little bit bigger will be appreciated)
[Xperia Play General] insane5125:
Do jxd devices normally have a button mapping feature like the much i5?
[Xperia Play General] Deen0X:
yes, but always is better to use Tincore Keymapper, because any other keymapper are so basic as keymapper. (i never use the keymapper included with these devices)

if you don´t know, chech it.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tincore.and.keymapper&hl=es

and my suggestion, use the "Gamepad Mode M", that emulates the Moga controller

Check this article (in spanish. use the translator tool on the page)

greetings!
[Xperia Play General] insane5125:
Yeah I know and use it. I just like when key mappers are included. Thanks for the response.
[Xperia Play General] BensJammin:
I always used tincore on my JXD and on my Xperia Z when I had that, and I used Gamekeyboard on my Xperia Play. I have to say though that I love what ireadygo have done with theirs and I have deleted tincore off my i5 and am using the standard mapper instead.

On the subject of the standard mapper, do you play x-men [MENTION=4498256]Dilemina[/MENTION] as I loaded it up yesterday and the mapper came up with Dilemi adapter? Quite cool that it shares the maps between users!
[Xperia Play General] Dilemina:
Yeah. That's probably mine. ;)
[Xperia Play General] Dilemina:
Hey, anybody know what the change log is for the new update of the much i5?
[Xperia Play General] insane5125:
Are you talking about 5.5.7 or is there a newer version.?
[Xperia Play General] Dilemina:
5.5.11 I just tried to do the auto install but after downloading it stalled. I may do a manual update, but before I try it, I want know if deen0x or anyone knows what the heck is in the change log.
[Xperia Play General] Deen0X:
I'm trying to get a clear and readable version of the changelog
[Xperia Play General] BensJammin:

People are still talking about that 'Sonic Boom' on the forum though. I want to know what this is :)
[Xperia Play General] insane5125:
Sweet! I'm gonna go update :)
[Xperia Play General] insane5125:
It also says on the sight that it fixes the problem with the right stick. When you play fps when it hits the edge of the screen it jumps back to where it was. i'm happy about this.

[/COLOR]hey " much i5"owners :)

i want to buy much-i5 and need your help , urgently ...

- are you agree with much-i5 ?does it worth to buy ?

- what about battery life ? it that working normally ? ( cause some of Chinese new products have battery drain problem ))

- i want to play emulator , specially drastic-ds , dolhpine , scummmvm ... is that work/support emulators as well ?

- and the last question ( important for me ) , i heard that some guys talking about much-i5S !!! i just can see much-i5 on willgoo website , can you please let me know what is references between i5 and i5s ?? and where can i find the i5s ?

please update me and i'll buy that ASAP :)

thank you so much my friends
[Xperia Play General] Dilemina:
i5s is the new version that just came out in china a few weeks ago. The price here is basically the same, but they are manufacturing them as they sell them. So the availability is scarce. Willgoo will get them in, but it may be a while.

I would suggest waiting until the i5s is out. As it has a slightly more powerful processor and double the ram (2gb). And larger internal storage space. In China JD.com is selling both for the same price.

Willgoo has told customers he will get the much i5s in soon, but I don't know when.

The i5 can do all of what you have mentioned above, but the i5s will have that much needed 2gb ram.

Where are you located? If it is in asia, you might be able to order from JD.com but it will take some work, as the site is all Chinese.

Edit:

for both i5 and i5s:

It runs android jellybean, which is much better than xperia play's gingerbread.

The joysticks are a better than the touch pads and it comes loaded with a keymapper that makes most games easily playable with the joysticks and buttons that are not optimized for such things.

If you want to play a game like gta3 you will want to get a different keymapper as the game is not optimized for the i5 controls. And the onscreen move around when doing different actions in the game. Tincore is a good keymapper for games like this.

Its nice to have a bigger screen, but you will probably have to get used to holding the device as a phone. As it is nearly twice the size of the xperia play.

I am happy with my device, and it was worth what I played, but there is a better device hitting the market now, and if I were you, I would get the i5s.

If you hit some snags with the device it may be hard to fix them as there isn't really a international indi-Dev community behind it like there is/was with the xperia play. But if you know what you are doing, you can tinker around with it pretty easily as it comes out of the box rooted.
[Xperia Play General] Deen0X:
in fact, the device have 2 important things ready to use.

rooted from factory

ClockWorkMod

if anybody want to generate a custom rom (tweaked system,etc), can share with CWM without problems.

for now, nobody do this, but in fact is easy to generate a custom rom with this tool.

---------- Post added at 11:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:10 AM ----------

and about i5s... as i know, this device is released only for chinese market, not oversea.

maybe these web bought few devices and are selling, waiting for a international release (i mean, they cannot buy large amunt of devices, but generate interest of customers on their product because appear in stock)
[Xperia Play General] insane5125:
Size comparison!

Xperia Play Vs much i5

I hope this helps anyone who is looking into getting this phone.
[Xperia Play General] Visa Declined:
Though that device has call capabilities, I wouldn't call it a phone. I couldn't carry it around and use it as a phone every day, it's way too big.
[Xperia Play General] BensJammin:
Depends on what you class as too big though. I personally wouldn't like a galaxy note as a phone as it does nothing more than the s4 or similar. This has a feature that no other phones can boast right now
[Xperia Play General] insane5125:
I also like the size and that screen is so beautiful who wouldn't want to show it off. :D
[Xperia Play General] mehdi.moha:
thank u all [MENTION=4498256]Dilemina[/MENTION] , [MENTION=3410188]Deen0X[/MENTION] , [MENTION=5297514]insane5125[/MENTION]

so i'll wait for much i5s :)

but u didn't answered me about battery life ? is the battery ok ?

---------- Post added at 07:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:39 AM ----------

YEAH ,

i have note 3 n9005 ,

that's AMAZING , there is not any phone that has half of galaxy note's features .specially its PEN .
[Xperia Play General] Dilemina:
I am not an expert on battery or anything but it is not a battery hog by any means. If it is fully charged in the morning, it will get me through my day. Gaming, phoning, surfing the web, and watching videos.

Deen0x has a pretty good review on his blog of the device. It goes more in depth with the battery I believe. The i5s has a more powerful processor, so it may use up the battery a bit faster than the i5 but to tell you the truth, the battery life is quite good in my opinion.
[Xperia Play General] BensJammin:
Comparing gaming time vs battery use, I find the i5 to be very good. My jxd will eat through a fully charged battery in a couple of hours of hard gaming whereas the i5 probably only uses half of the battery capacity in the same time.
[Xperia Play General] Tobi-DS:
I don´t think that all these devices are alternatives for our play, theres nothing so compact that you can use it as your daily phone combined with a controller!
[Xperia Play General] Deen0X:
I'm using Much i5 as my normal daily (and unique) phone

everybody in my office know it, and currently nobody get surprised when i get out of my bag to answer a calling.

a friend have the New Note, and size of Much is only few centimeters bigger. really there is not a big difference except the screen size.

How well does the i5 play San Andreas?
[Xperia Play General] X-Giga:
I am looking forward to buying this.

Sent from my R800i 'Zeus' Xperia Play
[Xperia Play General] mehdi.moha:
is there any developer to start working on much i-5 ?
[Xperia Play General] Deen0X:
No, but cooking a custom rom may not be hard, because there is CWM on this device.
[Xperia Play General] Visa Declined:
Getting a custom recovery installed is much easier than developing a ROM for it. Especially since that device is capable of so much, what with the gamepad and all.
[Xperia Play General] iRhyiku:
Anyone know a site where I can buy a "Much i5s" in the UK?

eBay isnt helping me :/
[Xperia Play General] insane5125:
amazon has it for sale and so does willgoo thats all i know.
[Xperia Play General] iRhyiku:
I cant seem to see it on Amazon and willgo only has the i5.. I'm after the i5s
[Xperia Play General] insane5125:
oh ok. let me look around and if i find anything i'll post it.

:good:
[Xperia Play General] insane5125:
I found a couple on ebay.com and thats about it.
[Xperia Play General] iRhyiku:
Guess it'll have to do thanks
[Xperia Play General] BensJammin:
Just pm'd you about an 'i5' [MENTION=3547362]iRhyiku[/MENTION] if youre interested (didnt realise you meant an 'i5s' until now :silly:)

I don't know if I can post links but here's the i5s on eBay.

[Xperia Play General] insane5125:
I have nothing important to post but I would just like to say that it is so good seeing this thread gain more and more people supporting the iReadyGo devices and the new jxd S5800. It just goes to show you that the gaming phone is not dead it just took a break and now it's coming back at full force. With these devices going in popularity in no time we'll be seeing big companies making their own gaming phones. (hopefully sooner than later) to sum all of it up you guys are awesome for supporting this thread. And as a whole all of the xperia play community is awesome.

HAPPY NEW YEARS EVERYONE :D

2014 THE YEAR OF THE GAMING PHONE! :cool:
[Xperia Play General] insane5125:
Can anyone figure this out?

So I went to go watch a YouTube video and I noticed that the volume wasn't working. I thought maybe I just needed to turn it up but even all the way up it was still not making any noise. Next I thought maybe its just the video. Still nothing. I tried pandora, some games, and my own music. And I still can't get it to work even when I plug my headphones in nothing happens. Any ideas. I'm using the i5.

Anything will help even bad news. Thanks in advance.
[Xperia Play General] BensJammin:
Sounds like a bug. Have you updated to 5.5.13 yet?
[Xperia Play General] insane5125:
No I haven't yet but I restarted the phone and it worked again. I was using the hdmi cable right before and it must have been still sending the sound through the port if that's possible? I don't know I'm just happy it works again. Thanks for the quick reply though.
[Xperia Play General] Deen0X:
Streaming to Much i5, using Kainy and x360 joystick emulation. (i'm preparing a guide that i will post later in my blog)

Greetings!
[Xperia Play General] BensJammin:
Yeah thats probably just what the issue was. I noticed the other day that when i disconnected the hdmi it still had the hdmi connected logo in the notification bar. Only a minor quibble though. I love this phablet more every day lol.

On a side note, i bought a few snk games recently, samurai shodown, king of fighters and metal slug. All work flawlessly with native controls!! No mappers needed!!!! Check the reviews for those games though. Some say shield isnt supported, some say moga doesnt work, but our i5's are perfect :)
[Xperia Play General] Deen0X:
are you sure? i think you´re playing with some keymapping profile that automatically loads when you launch the game.

open Much keymapper (Power + vol_up) when you get in game. if there is any check on any profile, then you´re using a generic profile for this game.
[Xperia Play General] insane5125:
Either way it's great.
[Xperia Play General] BensJammin:
I am very experienced in the use of key mappers coming from an extensive use of gamekeyboard back in the day lol. I can assure you the games work natively. Up down etc on dpad scrolls through menu options, buttons select. It works perfectly. I always make sure the keymapper is unchecked when I first start a game to see if it works or not.
[Xperia Play General] Deen0X:
Ok! XD

i'm only discarding things

the DPAD (and soft linked left stick) work as standard dpad, then is most probably the game will work with this directly

Buttons codes are keyboard standard codes for game buttons (but working as keyboard, because there is no joystick driver really)

The only "complicated" button is "Sun" (Pink), because works as DPAD-Center and most games understand this as "ENTER", but much spread another keycode ("BACK" if i good remember), then when you press this button, if the game don´t handle properly, then go back.

most probably this game handle corretly, and for this reason we have a game with full support for Much i5, but is only a mere coincidence. Much people must include a proper joystick driver for their device. Is the main issue as i understand (and separate DPAD from Left Stick, because they are soft-linked)

Greetings!
[Xperia Play General] BensJammin:
What I like about the software on the much is how many useful apps they provide themselves. For example, they have their keymapper which is basic but one of the best I have used. But I have also used that keydiy app to rectify the dpad center problem you said about in a couple of games. The thing I like about that is that you still get to use remapped hardware controls easily and not resort to having a touch interface. Gamekeyboard was more complicated to remap the keys.

I love this phone more everyday lol
[Xperia Play General] RoboticBuddy:
Are there any more alternative to the Xperia Play such as the iReady Much i5, but somewhat smaller in size? The i5 seems too big for me...
[Xperia Play General] Deen0X:
the only alternative is JXDS5800, but is 5" screen size, and most similar to Much i5.

i figure there is no (or will not) smallest alternatives.
[Xperia Play General] Dilemina:
I bet there may be something like the play, in the next five years or so. But as of right now, the only things that share nearly all the same functions are the jxd s5800 and ireadygo much i4, ,i5 and, i5s. They all have 5 inch screens and they don't look like phones. They look like gaming devices.
[Xperia Play General] RoboticBuddy:
Alrighty, thanks.

What's the difference between the i5 and the i5s?
[Xperia Play General] BensJammin:
CPU is a mtk6589t which is 300mhz faster and there is 2gb ram instead of 1gb
[Xperia Play General] Roguenova:
I got back to using Xperia Play after 5 months of owning the Galaxy S4 Mini. Just no fun in all this processor power when you cannot play any games the way you like it =(

Touchscreen smartphones suck and are only good for calling & browsing the internet, dixi.

Also, it came as a nicest of surprises that Carmageddon got optimized for XP, including the performance! It just friggin flies on the stock speed! Same goes to PPSSPP (Crisis Core - now I do not need Snapdragon 400 to play it :D).

Have a nice year everyone.
[Xperia Play General] iRhyiku:
I ordered my i5s (finally got money -.-)

Should be here within the next 2 weeks!

I can record the tests using my tablets with the PLAY and MUCH i5s together if anyone wants.. games and that ofc to show how it handles and plays
[Xperia Play General] RoboticBuddy:
I would love to see that. Like a size comparison and whatnot, also maybe run Nenamark 2? :laugh:
[Xperia Play General] iRhyiku:
Yeah will do :victory:
[Xperia Play General] Dilemina:
Would like that very much. I think you have bought the best gaming phone on the market, and wish my play broke a couple months later so that I would have bought the MUCH iREADYgo i5s as you did. But all is well. My phone is awesome. But yours is the bomb!

Any comparisons you can do with the xperia play will be welcome, as far as performance with any games and other apps.

Be sure to get "tincore", as the phone needs some customization in order to work well with some games.
[Xperia Play General] BensJammin:
Could you do some benchmarks please mate and post the results? Possibly Antutu and 3dMark? Just want to see how the 's' model compares performance wise with the non 's'. Thanks

I wouldn't agree with this one though Dilemina. I have 27GBs (32gb sd card nearly full) of games installed on mine and I use the inbuilt mapper for every one that doesnt support native controls and I have not run into a single issue. Incredibly happy with how well it works without modifications. I got my JXD S7800 the other day and the first thing I had to do was install a custom rom on it as the stock one is atrocious, something that isnt a problem with the ireadygo firmware.
[Xperia Play General] Dilemina:
I know most of them work just dandy with a keymapper. But it is limited and I needed to use tincore to get rockstar's GTA games playable with the much i5 buttons.
[Xperia Play General] iRhyiku:
My PLAY Still works, it's just too old to run anything newer.. Also the MicroUSB port on it is a bit broken so it doesnt charge properly, should be fine for these tests though.

I'll do things such as boot up time and that, start from beginning :L I'm curious how these two handle myself. May go back to Stock ROM/Kernel for the tests though make it fairer.

Thanks I'll be sure to download that!

Sure thing man :)

Like I said it's gonna take less than 2 weeks for delivery, so sorry for the wait on this for people who want to buy it but first wanna see results :(
