broken touch pad :( - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all.
I have just gone play dead space today and my analogue controls no longer work. I've tested on other games as well and making sure the touch analogues are set up in the controls and they are.
I'm guessing I'm going to have to send the phone back to Sony? :'(

Don't panic...did you download any apps recently? What were the last few things you downloaded before the touchpads stopped working? Some apps mess with the game pad that's why I'm asking.

[Q] Android Netflix App for A7?

Does anyone know if the new Android Netfix app will ever work on the A7? I installed it on my EVO and it is sweet! But the screen is TINY!

I don't count on it ever working,but I put playon on mine and it works pretty much perfectly.You can install it on your computer then you are basically steaming but you have Netflix, Hulu CBS,tbs comedycentral,syfy and the list goes on.You can try it out for a couple of weeks for free and then if you want to keep it they are pretty cheap and have several ways to subscribe,from monthly,yearly and even a one time payment for a lifetime subsciption.Anyway I got tired of waiting and got it on sell and haven't looked back.It is more than you can imagine and you can use it on PS3.Xbox,Wii,and several blueray players.Pretty much anything that is DLNP capable .
Anyway didn't mean to ramble but hope this helps.
There is a netflix app available without the checks and already signed. Most have said they can get it running in a gingerbread rom. I haven't been able to get it working on the A7's rom however.

I know that they won't allow it to run on devices that are rooted, but I think if you search the forums you'll find a modded apk that should run.

I tryed them all, they are a no go. Something in the A7 is missing to let it run, i can browse for movies but once i go to play them it just loops back to the browse screen
I have an archos tab and the cracked apk works great. But not for my A7

New 1.3 build 246 from market works flawlessly with streaming (on Elocitymod 1.42a at least).

Thanks,
I had installed the cracked version on my Evo4G and Evo3D, and it installed on the A7 but would never work.
I always ignored the "there is a newer version available" message until I read your post. Works like a charm now... Resolution seems like it sucks a little, but that may have just been the movie I tested with.
Just down loaded from Market. Install and logged in. It works great!!!
Works great!!!

I updated to this version and it works well. I've noticed that the resolution starts out bad but rapidly improves. I am really happy with this tablet now. It pretty much does most things I want it to do. Only thing left for me to conquer is moving apps 2 external SD.
Thanks to everyone that has helped develop the mode!
Just wanted to make sure everyone is aware that you can adjust the quality of your stream through netflix. Just head to your account page on netflix.com and towards the bottom is a link to adjust the quality.
I've be seaching for the Elocitymod 1.42a, but haven't been able to find it. Can anyone tell me where I can get it or send a link? Thanks

On my completly factory A7+ I got netflix working only through an account on amazon
Still can't find way for un modified A7+ to get HBO GO
more to point. I cant get netflix audio (or any audio) through hdmi on my ~5 yr old Insignia HD TV, is it possible adjusting stream quality will solve the no audio? I tried it on a new 55" Toshiba and audio/video work perfect (and wow, a 3' tall angry bird is cool)
This has been answerd in old threads as, "some tv's audio works, some don't"
Any new fixes?
Anyway to put screen to sleep while still streaming through hdmi?

Can't play NFS Shift & Hot Pursuit

The car will keep on go to the right-handed side by itself.
Any method to solve?
Thank you.
It seems no one try to play these two games in their A100. Disappointed.
Finally, I can play Hot Pursuit. EA had released a new version 1.0.55 which is compatible with Tablets.
Now I'm waiting the new version of NFS Shift.

EDIT: SOLVED, I found on the net the data files from an Iconia TAB A500 and they works applying the procedure I described in the previous post (I noticed on Mobilisim that there are different data files between "smartphone" and "tablet" versions of the game).

Unfortunately that doesn't help those of us who don't have a tablet sitting around all I have is my phone to download data on, so it looks loke no SimCity for me. Have there been any other fixes to get this working?

[Q] Games no compatible with ICS??

Is there some games that doesn't work with ICS? There are a few games that I bought that either freeze my phone(GTA3) or the game auto closes as soon as it gets into the actual game(Dungeon Defenders)
Also another think i just remembered. In TrialX2(Gas*I think*) and Blood and Glory(Dodge right) the O button brings up a option menu.
Anyone know?? I just spent like 30$ on games and some aren't working at all.

If you're asking if some games just don't work correctly on ICS like they should, then yes.
If circle is bringing up the options menu, that means that game isn't supporting the Xperia's gamepad, so it's trying to go "back" instead.

Well its Trial Xtreme 2 SE Xperia Play is the name of the game on the market.
Also they worked on 2.2.3(2.3.3?) whatever it ships with.
Google Play Store has that app isn't even compatible with my ICS Xperia Play, so maybe that tells you something. Not really sure though.
Being ICS is BETA.
Yes, there will be problems.
Go back to gingerbread if you want games.

[Q] Is my Touch pad and or gamepad faulty?

so I just bought a R800i play on the weekend and have spent the last two days researching and messing with CFW.
Now because the first thing I did was install NXT 1.3 and lupus kernel, I'm not sure if the touch pads were working or how the PSX keys are supposed to behave with to begin with.
basically I tested them with games like gun bros, minecraft and even the touchpad test app by svenk919
they do not work at all and the O key always functions the same as the back key, but all other keys seem to be working.
I even tried to go back to stock FW and tried the above apps and no luck, so I went back to NXT 1.3.
I also tried modifying the Build.prop, nothing
although new to the android CFW, I am fairly well versed in modding and CFWs coming from the PSP scene, and am sure i followed the instructions
Basically I think i'm missing drivers or something or is there a way I can tell that there is a hardware fault?
Please help because I am about to lose my hair.
it is supposed to be brand new, and there is no cosmetic wear
although I did buy it in Malaysia and may have been sold a faulty/factory second?
Thanks in advance.
The touchpad for emulators don't work on GB, you need to install ICS or JB for it to work.

I haven't tried Emulators, I'm talking about the hardware does not seem to be detected properly as a gamepad.
touch pad being not supported in GB general makes no sense because I put it back on stock rom and those games/apps still don't detect.
and other posts claim that NXT has everything fully working.
Try using a ROM with farenheiths touch pad fix. If its a hardware issue it probably won't help but its worth a shot

Minecraft control issue

I'm having issues with Minecraft Pocket Edition on my Xperia Play. The problem I'm having is that, both touchpads are controlling movement instead of doing Sneak on the left, and Look on the right. I can't find anything in the settings that would affect this. Has anyone else run into this problem and know how to fix it? Thanks!
Bad news... : http://www.reddit.com/r/Minecraft/comments/29tzmo/minecraft_pocket_edition_090_teaser/ciorl15
We don't really support Xperia play anymore, from our last data there were less than 2000 players using it! They are surely a really vocal minority, but still the Xperia is old and not much used... so we decided to let it be as it is.
And you can still play like on a normal phone
Hopefully, support will be back when we get proper controller compatibility!

I haven't tested Minecraft since reinstalling everything on my Xperia so I'm not sure yet if my version is broken, too. Is it possible to get an older version APK somewhere and just refuse to update it?
You can turn off auto updates on the Play store. Grabbing an older APK should work, just make sure it's before 0.9 as 0.9 and onwards was when Mojang removed Xperia Play support.

Ah, thanks. I managed to find a copy of 0.8.1 and installed it. I bought MPE the day it came out (and can prove it), so I guess it isn't technically illegal...?
