[Q] New Exchanged Phone After Accident - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone!
sorry about my bad english..
my xperia play has a corrosion so my communications company exchanged my phone to a new one, and they say that they cannot move the data that was on th old phone.
most of the apps is on the SD, so I can install the apps from there back? or I need to install every single one all over again?
thank you

I believe you should be able to. Only one way to find out.

thank you, but how can I do that?

Well if you used the android market they should be under Menu>My apps.
What problem did your Xperia play have?

hmm it would be tough to track them down then. If you didn't install them from the market then that means you downloaded them as a .apk file, right? Check on your SD card for the apk files.
They gave it to you for free?

You cannot reinstall apps from the .android.secure folder anyway. Android creates a special file unusable file, when they are on the SD Card. To prevent piracy.

Old Market

How can I revert to the older market version? The new market is nice but i'd prefer the older snappier one. Is it as simple as finding the apks and using root explorer to copy them over?
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=GTTJJBUC
for anyone that wants it, this one works...much snappier than the new one imo
For some reason the market reverts to the new one :-/

Use Titanium backup then wipe data and uninstall Market, then restore app data from this file http://www.mediafire.com/?8b2htkdd99r6q6n copy to folder titaniumbackup.
When copying 3 files to sdcard, after you need to kill titanium backup app from advance task manager, then rerun it to read the Old Market backup.
In Titanium Apps scroll to the lowest down, and you'll see Market restore it.
Which market its better for you? Its true that the new market is slower than the old?

Old market is obiously faster, but the new market has many new features like books etc. and also makes going through large lists of apps much easier to do. The ads look cool and it also has PIN protection for purchases so if you have a payment method saved, noone can buy an app without having to put in the PIN you set in the market settings.
My Wildfire S is still on the old arket, is there a way to force an update to the new Market?

I installed an early version of the new market ages ago just by via apk, then HTC updated it automatically in the background to the latest one. I'm on stock.

Updated Market

Has the New Market just been updated or have i been living under a rock?
The GUI seems improved, and i no longer seem to get any lag etc
Guessing this is to coincide with ICS perhaps somehow?!
Flake x
I just had an update for the market to 3.1.5. It's a nicer interface and seemed a bit snappier, but that may be my imagination. ICS is 3.2.0 I believe.
This Version I have is 3.3.11
Yep.. Same here.. 3.3.11
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
It has looked like this for awhile now. Only minor improvements were made with 3.3.11.

Interesting. Do you have a source?
What! It detects pirated apps.? Then what? What does it do then after detecting?
On Nov. 08 2011, the android market got updated .............and hence the world came to an end.
Its true about the pirated apps, the my apps screen will become blank and you cannot update your apps anymore. The online market still works though and even gives you the option to reinstall pitated apps - which does not work.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
simple answer to that is don't pirate apps!!!!!
It appears that the problem on the galaxy s where some of the app images would not show when previewing is now fixed.
Could be following the update.

How Google will make a difference for paid market apps and paid non-market apps then? If i download some legit apps from for example GetJar/amazon app store/etc, Google doesn't have record for me buying this app..but still it appears in my apps list (IIRC this happens, but not 100% sure..). So if Google isn't analyzing apk file itself, its hard to believe it could work correctly..
And I also haven't seen any comments like these in other Market threads..
Removing my three unpaid apps, blackmart and clearing the data part of market solved the issue. I removed the data before, that did not help, now it did. It's strange...

Well I have also had blank white screens..just today when I tried to updater one app..came after accepting download. But it worked just fine after trying again.. And IIRC I also have had one in 'my apps' also. I'm not saying it can't be true but I need more proofs..little sceptic...

Pretty much sums up my thoughts. There's clearly nothing to support these claims.

getgames.apk and funandgames.apk

Hi,
I have been stupid and deleted the getgames.apk and funandgames.apk....
Now my Xperia Play Games Launcher does not show the "Get Games" tab anymore...
Please could someone upload these two files for me!?! I would really appriciate it.

Read description for file
I also have a question about Get Games. There are icons on that screen but when I click on any of them, they all say "No Content". Shouldn't clicking on the icon launch the Market to download them, or show a video or do something? And what is funandgames.apk? Thanks!

Yes you can remove those without worry but then your games launcher won't have the get games tab anymore but everything will still work fine

I didn't realize that, I figured they were rolling this out slowly. At the time I posted this I was using the new FC05 leak and my market hadn't updated.

But this is for people who...
don't know how to open Market or something I think. Seriously, that's all that's required. Though, I can see the use in having an apk around (UI modification and whatnot)

Here is another link for it as well. Was actually uploading this as I hit refresh and say this post was already made lol.

At first it didn't work for me either, I cleared the data twice and then went through Google music and hit the button to go to the market and it let me update

The name? Eh. Stupid.
The new icon? I like it.
But, most importantly, with the new market there is a small buy very nice section of apps for $.49.
Like Dead Space. Or Osmos. SwiftKeyX.

do an image file search on your emmc / sdcard from your explorer on your pc, locate what directory its in, identify the program its coming from by the name of the directory its in, isolate the app and get rid of it after you delete the images.
