[Q] Xperia Play App: Games don't appear - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I updated the software of the phone a few minutes ago and, besides installing a lot of new crappy programs, I noted that when I slide out the game pad and the Xperia Play app appears, when I click on the "more games" tab, all games are missing!
All I see is a message saying "loading" (in portuguese :"a carregar", see picture below).
And yes, I have internet connection.
I attach a picture of the screen for a better comprehension of what I'm saying.

Question about now playing tab in touchflo 3d system

Hi guys,
I am new to the forum and have just recently purchased the Blackstone (i am so in love with it). The only question i have not been able to find an answer to easily on this site is this, when i put music on the phone and play an album, it shows up proper in all the library tabs in the touchflo menu system. Here is what is making me insane. If i delete the album later on it will delete just fine in all tabs except for the now playing tab. No matter what i try i cannot get that section (tab) to blank out. I mean if you are not playing something or delete files from the computer it looks like that tab would erase entries, no? Also, the 2 sample songs that came preloaded when i delete them from my phone they never go away in the now playing tab. This is causing me great mental stress. . One of you more experienced users care to point me in the right direction or help me find the anser to this problem? TIA!!

[Q] web pages crashes stock browser!

Hi,
This is really weird.
This particular page:
h*t*tp://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/8906329.stm
(obviously without the *'s!) crashes my stock browser. I am running OD 3.2.1 but had same issue with 3.1.1.
Only that page so far, that I can remember.
Rest of BBC news website, Iplayer etc works fine.. Just that one page.
No FC errors, the page just disappears from screen and end up @ home screen. Browser process is no longer open.
reboot and clear dalvik cache no help. Also cleared browser cache and config, but no cigar.
Anyone else having issues?
thanks
I'm glad I'm not the only one! This is happening to me too - I first noticed the problem on exactly the same page last night when trying to check the football scores.
I thought nothing of it at first, but then today noticed pretty much all the BBC Sport Football team pages had much the same effect. The majority of the page is displayed, and just before completion the screen goes blank and takes me back to the home page. When I restart the browser, it defaults to the home page.
I too tried clearing the cache, cookies, history etc. but this didn't help. What I did notice however is that switching the "Enable plug-ins" Setting in the browser from "Always on" to "On demand" stopped the problem occurring - but I consider that a workaround, and not a fix.
At the moment I'm guessing it may be something to do with Flash on the BBC Sport pages. I'm not sure what's changed though - as I never had this problem before, and I've not (yet) had this problem elsewhere.
I'm using stock Froyo 2.2 on an unbranded Orange handset.
I too would appreciate any input on this one - but will also try searching a few more threads to see if this has been reported elsewhere.

Thanks fo the "on demand" tip..
That seems to have sorted that page.
Something is certainly fishy.
Iplayer is now telling me that it doesnt support my browser.
I had to change the user agent to Iphone (I'll need to wash my mouth now)
to get it to work.

BBC iPlayer seems fine for me - but most pages on the BBC Football site seem to crash the browser.
I found some mention of similar issues on another forum - but with the Evo 4G. In those cases there appeared to be 2 fixes suggested, neither of which appeal.
The first was to download an Adobe Flash 10.1 APK file, but this didn't seem to work for everyone, and I think it unlikely that will be a more recent one than the one we've just received with the Froyo update.
The second option was to do a factory reset and start over.
I'm not about to rush into either of these - although if I can find a version of the Adobe flash player that's definitely newer than the one we have, I may try that.
EDIT: I found the updated flash player APK on another XDA board here. This was version 10.1.92.8 (as opposed to 10.1.72.7 on the phone). It didn't make any difference for me, so I uninstalled it again.
Thought it was the news app playing up again as mine does this when going to some BBC pages from the news app, I hope the BBC fix it.

Glad its not just me. Seems like any page on the bbc news site crashes my browser. I am using Leedroid v1.9 rom (crashed on Leedroid v1.8 too).

Letters in main menu.

Hello. I just discovered a strange thing and I don't know how to get rid of it. So i was adding some music and I deployed "Sound enhancer" and after that my phone grouped all my apps in menu like it is done in people tab. So i have a huge letter above all my apps which makes my menu longer and it takes more time to find an app. It also doesn't look eyecandy. So i want you to ask how to get rid of those letters and bring my menu back to normal state.
Regards
okey~
It's not a bug, it's a feature. After a cetain amount of apps this is added to your menu. When you touch on one of the letters in the menu it will bring up a screen of letters. Touch on one of these and it will take you to those apps starting with the corresponding letter. This was added to reduce scrolling when you have a large amount of apps. If you do not like it I believe that uninstalling enough apps to bring you below the limit will disable the feature.
I know how it works. But is there no way to bring it back without uninstalling apps?
Not sure it goes away even if you uninstall apps.

Nope.
Surely it makes scrolling faster, not longer? For example, rather than scrolling all the way down to, say, 'Skype'...two taps and you are there in the 'S' section..
Either way, it cannot be disabled (except perhaps if you are fully unlocked, and edit the registry?)

You are right, and think only a fool might want to disable it! I purposefully installed 4 apps more that I won't ever use just to get those indexed letters on!
Use voice instead, it is the fastest. Hold windows key and say start "app name"

OMFGYKM!
I had no idea you could use speech recognition to open apps. Sweet. I'm still enjoying sending SMS while driving or doing the dishes via my bluetooth headset.

It gets better - say find "whatever address"
It will give you directions also (right above the web search)
or find "Store name" it will show that store closes to you.
and try find "movie name"
It will show theaters near you playing the movie
and find "weather in san fransisco" for example will show 5 day forcast via bing in websearch
Then find an iphone user that has siri and show him opening apps. Siri doesn't do that yet i use find flashlight all the time to use htc flashlight. it auto comes on when the app opens and it great for opening car or house door in the dark
enjoy!

[Q] Facebook photo upload not working

Uploading photos to facebook does not work for me.
The behavior is the same both when selecting photo upload from the facebook app, or when chosing to share to facebook from the gallery.
The upload progress in statusbar looks good and finishes, but then an error message is displayed in the statusbar that the transfer failed.
When initiating the upload from facebook a "popup" mesage that the photo could not be added is also displayed.
I tried wipe facebook cache and data and reinstall the app but that didn't solve anything.
I'm on AOKP build25 & franco kernel 18.6.
Anyone else with the same problem?

I have the same problem, haven't found a way to fix it though... I'm running pure stock.

Ok, so at least I'm not alone....
Good to know that the problem exist also on stock. I wasn't sure if I ever tested it before I flashed a custom rom.

Did you try clearing the app's cache? Logging back in and trying to upload a pic again?
Yes, I wiped cache and data and even reinstalled the app.

Facebook's app is the worst written in Android history. It isn't your fault- they just can't write an update without breaking something. It's a known issue.
Possible solution
It's maybe a little late to offer a solution, but today I finally found out what could be the problem:
I normally share my pictures with "All friends, except ... " (please excuse wrong translation; don't know how it's called in English) and all my picture uploads failed without exception. Today I wanted to share a picture with "All" my friends and... it work perfectly! I tried some more and it seems my problems are gone.
So my possible solution:
-> You have to share with "all", not with some groups or with excluded people. The Facebook App and mobile site is too stupid to work with its own lists.
When creating a new post, just tap the little gear in the lower right corner and select share with "all". It's no solution for pics you don't want to show everyone of course, but it's the only workaround that allows you to upload at all.
After trying a couple things, such as clearing the app data/cache, reinstalling the app from the market, etc. I suspect that this is related more to the APN settings on the phone. I tested this by switching the APN on my AT&T Galaxy Nexus from the Tweakker APN settings (failed to upload pics/videos) to the original CINGULAR 410 (works like a charm, although it takes forever to upload). For reference, the Tweakker settings had the APN as "phone".
Hope this helps.

So, did you read my post above? I'm almost sure it makes all the difference. Tested this with a couple of friends and it works for everyone.

it is enough to only have one list of selfmade friend list. U do not have to share to "all" but u can make list of friends that can see your pictures, call it for example "see mypic friends" and only have that in the . But if u share it to: "see mypic friends" and "mom and dad" at the same it fails

some issues!

1: i noticed that chrome "cuts" and overlap part of some web pages...for ex google upper menu appears over the first search result, making it impossible to click.
(edit)
1,1: sometimes it stucks and has a strange behavour with s pen (i click somewhere but it takes as click in another place in the page. it s evidente when small chars and many links )
it doesnt happen in any other app or menu.
2 stock browser doesn t recognize "other favourites" folder or the equivalent for italian "altri preferiti".
i can save only in the main folder and subfolders and not there
same for you?
1. Same here
2. I don't know, I mainly use Firefox beta now
edited main post.
firefox has any kind of sync with google favourites? can be edited?
for me it's a major feature.
I started getting this with Chrome when we got the first "performance improvement" update. I work around it by zooming in and scrolling. Not ideal by any means.

I dont know but I think the chrome has it's issues?
Noticed the same issue with Chrome, took me a while to really notice what was going on.
I had problems with Chrome as well. I like it but not enough to put up with a chopped off screen and major offset for the touch screen. I went with Opera and it works like it should so far.
Yip, this happens to me as well and it sucks.
