[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Wind07:
I kinda regret it now. When buying, i was enticed by the specs and i thought: "this phine is awesome! No regrets buying it! Better than my laggy neo v!" now, the battery life is not good, its lagging now on jb moonbreaker 3.5. Kinda regret not choosing something better. Although we have awesome devs (thanks! :D), i feel that the phone is a bit too overpriced for the specs, and taking on account that we don't have official support from roms like CyanogenMod, SlimBean, Paranoid Android etc. Just wanna hear your views here.

Why did I buy:banghead::banghead::banghead:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rayraven:
When i bought this phone - I wanted one with a screen size around 4-4.3 inches.

I narrowed it down to the Xperia S, Xperia P & the HTC One S.

I played around with all three and narrowed it down to the Xperia P. The price difference for the Xperia S & the One S was too much to justify.

Although i expected more official CyanogenMod support - I understand the lack of NovaThor support is what's the reason behind it.

With CM10.1 by [MENTION=4913184]percy_g2[/MENTION] - the phone finally runs as i expected it to - smooth as butter.

I'm perfectly good with the phone and don't see any need to upgrade either - so long as percy fixes Bluetooth :D

The battery seems to be the one crippling factor for this phone though - I have made a habit to keep a charger handy and I do get 3-4 hours of screen on time which isn't shabby at all.

Cheers,

Ray

Don't regret , in some time we will have a blast in dev selection with new roms , i just need build server access from xda .I have applied and waiting.

yes as i have it to april 2014 on contract with locked boot loader so i cant go higher than ics what hasn't been updated in months
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] king960:
Regret, and the main reason are locked bootloaders;( The 2nd one is that it has novathor chipset
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] velnens123:
No regret at all, 100 pounds for completely new Xperia U is very good. Batterry life is good - 2 days with moderate use.

No regret for buying Xperia U, Its runs great on gingerbread! On ICS its OK......
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Nate>u:
No regrets. I bought my Xperia U on day one for 199 euros, it was a best buy... Really GREAT performance on GB, worse on ICS, even a lot BETTER on JB (thank you kontini... You saved my phone!). Really sad the missed update to jb, sony is really bad to this... But i'll buy another sony because of fantastic design, and xperia are really easy moddable.

My next phone will be Sony Xperia Z, probably on november. I hope xD
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Jonathan_M:
Having mixed feelings about this phone, better rom support (=>availability of novathor sources) would have been nice.

But with cm10.1 it is a lot smoother than it used to be and battery life also has been a lot worse with stock.

I like the phones screen, I hate white magic, camera is decent, performance is not ideal.

This phone isn't bad, but could have been a lot better.

I don't regret buying this phone: The price wasn't bad and I won't make the same mistakes again.

I think that he meant he has a "unlock allowed = no" phone.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Bert98:
Coming from a Galaxy Ace-i, I'm completely satisfied :D Bought my white XU in February at €169, it was on sale, I hope it'll last a lot because I love it, the only "cons" are the quite small screen and the RAM problems on JB, but it's a great phone! Sony totally captured me, my next phone will be another Xperia :3

My classmate always tells me that my phone looks like a toy phone conpared to his Galaxy S4, but I reply that, at least, mine doesn't look like a plastic frying pan :P

I love my XU

Hello

I tried your game the first impression it is a very good game highly customizable, here's my opinion:

Pros:

- Highly customizable

- Good thing you allow the user to play offline, and do not force him to sign in

- The music is overall awesome, wide range, genre and suits the game well

- ads are not offensive

Cons:

- Lags a lot I even reduced the resolution and the quality still gives me low FPS, I am using a Gnex which managed to play in HD a lot of other games. Maybe if you try removing the admob view from the front, as far as i know the refresh of the ads causes a hick up in FPS

- Remove the text while loading ( clearing memory and stuff, the user doesn't need technical details, it is better for UX) to go with a simple "Loading...")

- Allow the user to go off the grass more than just a few meter, allowing him to go back on the track, so that the little kids don;t go desperate from the first couple of tries

Overall if you can fix the lag and speed of the game loading it will be an Epic Awesome game :)

Again great game !

Hope it helps : )

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] scorpiopantera:
Downloading now!
[Android Apps and Games] FreebordMAD:
Great thanks for the feedback!!! AND YES IT HELPS MUCH!!!

I love to hear that you like the game and even the music! :victory:

Removing the loading info can be simply done. My intention with it was to show the player that the game does something and is not freezed. I could remove the loading info when restarting the level, since it does not take too much time.

You can ride on grass for some short time, but it makes you very slow. I could just increase the time that you can ride offroad (lets say to 5 secs), would that solve the issue?

Unfortunately, I have to confess that the lags are indeed because of the ads and I really hate this... But I fear the ads of other providers than AdMob are even worse! I hope that you understand that I cannot simply remove the ads, I try to become an indie dev and earn my money with creating games. The only advice I can give you is if you play offline than close your internet connection the game will run faster without ads! (or if you sometimes buy games on Android you can get the pro version)

Thanks again! :good:
[Android Apps and Games] eli.r:
Yes the 5 seconds would make it better, the player will be allowed to come back to the road.

As for the ads, I have never worked with 3D games, only 2D so far. But what I suggest is that you can go use the SMART_BANNER from admob and insert it outside the rendered view, this way they will be totally separate entities and the admob view refresh will happens next the rendered view and not on top of it, and will not reduce the FPS. Plus it will help you put the ad during all the activity life time, without killing the UX or hiding anything, since it will be appearing adjacent to your game rendered view and not on top of it.

But I think you will have to code a bit the size of your camera to make it dynamic or if your framework allow some full aspect ratio it will be simpler.

Thanks:)
[Android Apps and Games] FreebordMAD:
I think I didn't exactly got what you mean.

I played balloon flee ;) nice game I was the pinguin balloon :good: You got 5 stars! What you do there is that you have two frames, so the ads are actually always rendered even if they are behind the game frame?

The problem with my game is that it is so computationally intensive that there is simply no space for AdMob to do something, also not parallel to the game view. Have you also tried to play Mad Freebording with low quality?
[Android Apps and Games] eli.r:
What I meant is to try to get the admob view outside of the rendering frame ( you checked the worst "ad design" of my games:P), A simple example can be found in (X Challenge) or in (Dare to Deal), I use the SMART_BANNER type from admob it takes less height and I put it outside the rendering view. This way even if it refreshes the refresh is not picking a hole on the rendering view

Yes I tried it with low quality still slight improvement but I think you should either work on the ads placement (or simply hide them during game play and show them in the main menu) or improve your algorithms, so that the high end devices don't encounter any glitches.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] FreebordMAD:
Now I got it! :good:

I didn't know that the SMART_BANNER is smaller in height than the standard banner. Most games stick with the standard banner... I will check if the smart banner needs less performance.

Also I now understand what you mean with not drawing twice. My game is made with Unity3D and changing the view rect is one line of code. I will check this for sure!

However in the USA I use the Amazon Ads and they have only very few standard sizes. None of the supported ones is usable like AdMob's smart banner... Maybe I will have to differentiate between the ad providers and keep the current system when the user is in the US.

By the way I have experienced some little bugs with your ads, where parts of the frame are not redrawn and show some render trash... see screenshots below:
[Android Apps and Games] eli.r:
Thanks al lot for pointing out the bug, the fact is that behind the rendered view there are no background and the rendered view does not stretch full screen, I choose to keep the aspect ratio. ( I remove it manually to increase the FPS, If I put the background with black color the trash doesn't appear but I sacrifice 5 FPS )

I can't reproduce on my devices,

Can you please note what is your device? or is that the emulator?
[Android Apps and Games] FreebordMAD:
It was on a nexus 4. The bug happens every now and then, maybe every 10th ad... Maybe it has something to do with sending the game to background or disabling the screen...
[Android Apps and Games] FreebordMAD:
Found a great and very easy solution for this and though I should post it here just in case that someone else is struggling with AdMob ads causing performance problems on ads refresh animation hicking up the FPS with html5 ads!

Process.setThreadPriority(Process.THREAD_PRIORITY_URGENT_DISPLAY+Process.THREAD_PRIORITY_LESS_FAVORABLE);

This single line of code called from the Open GL thread solves EVERYTHING!!! On a very slow device with less than 20FPS a little delay (up to half a sec) between a touch and the game seeing it is noticable, but for the most users this solves any lag problems that are caused by animated html5 ads! :victory:

Hi,

I hope the title makes sense ;)

I have the HTC One, but I know the issue I have is not unique to this device. I have flashed a couple custom sense roms, and what I have found is that I seem to have 2 parts of my internal sd card for some reason. When I boot into recovery to flash something, it finds the old sd card, but when out of recovery, I only have access to one, which according to recovery, is in "0". Because the roms I'm on are only using "0", I'd like to delete the original, but I can't because I can only see it when in recovery.

Is there something I can do? I've did a bit of looking around with no luck.

thanks

you could try:

-mount USB storage from recovery and see if from your pc you can at least copy your data

-though I think you'll need to format sd to solve the problem
