[Q] Get Games App No Longer Works After Flashing to UK 2.33 - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ever since I flashed my Rogers Xperia Play with the stock UK 2.33 firmware whenever I go to the get games app on my phone and try to download a game it just takes me to the developers website.
For example, in the Get games app, there is an icon that says "free EA Games," when I click on it it opens my browser and takes me to a blank page that just says "navigate, home,help,about."
the exact address is "vip.accumulate.se/gstore/eaoem/home.page?s=31"
This then forced me to download need for speed shift on the Android Market for $1.99 but when I try to play it it does not respond to the controller only touch screen.
I posted a picture below of what I'm seeing when I go to the EA website after clicking on the Get games app.

My best guess is because the games stores are region specific so it is trying to access store in the UK rather than Canada.

Thank god someone had an answer. So what do I do? How do I get the Canadian "Get Games" app? Someone I'm sure has already upped the rogers firmware 2.33 but I don't want to reflash the phone. I just want the Get Games App for Canadian Xperia Play Users.

Have u removed any bloat ware? If u have the reflash? Do u have a google account? Then open one. If this still does not work flash to 2.3.4.
Goodluck

Bro read what i typed properly. This has nothing to do with a Google account or bloat ware or flashing to 2.3.4. I flashed to stock UK 2.33 to get back root. Then i did an over the air update to the 2.33. The problem is what the person before you said. It's trying to connect to the UK server and not the Canadian one. So I want to get the Canadian "Get Games" app

I tried that. I don't think it is the browser, I think it is where the browser is being directed.

Can someone get me the get games apk for north america? Preferably the roger canada one.

This may not fix your problem, but the Market Enabler app lets your change your region. If it's not working because it doesn't recognize that you're on a Rogers network, then that might fix it.

That never worked. I guess I will just have to flash back to Rogers 2.33 and see if i can save the get games app apk and then reflash to uk 2.2 an install it on there. All this just to get need for speed shift and NOBODY on XDA has a solution. AMAZING.

Anyone can help

Why don't you try using a PC to get need for speed and send it to your phone that way? Instead of going through a bunch of flashing, seems like a bunch of unnecessary work for a game that isn't very good to begin with

It says this under the video, not sure if you read the whole thing...
The new Android Market will be rolling out in the coming weeks to Android 2.2 and higher phones around the world. You don’t need to do anything - the update is automatic on supported phones. If you’re in the U.S., you’ll also be able to download the Videos app, rent movies, and buy books once you receive the new Android Market.

Have you tried clearing data and cache from the play store, google services framework, and google play services.
Not guaranteed to work but usually when you get problems with the play store, doing this can help 'fix' the problem
Yeah buddy i tried but no luck. It seems to be with the sim card because when i changed to my brother sim card it worked and display also paid apps and all apps. The sim card is from Slovenia but a monaco sim card wont work. Thanks.

Someone have answered you on other threads, issue was from server and other user also have same issue and just solved automatically, so may be it should work on your sim too.

Back up your build.prop first and set permissions

Stock Browser (non chrome)

Ok so finally got it set up on zl. Followed steps from link below and works. You need to be rooted.
1. You need to remove chrome.Apk and browserproviderproxy.Apk from system/app using root explorer.
2. Copy the browser.apk to the using root explorer to the system/app and set permission to rw-r-r.
3. Last reboot phone and browser should now be installed.
Edit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2187973
I've done this using instructions in the Z forum using root explorer. What's interesting is that the ftf from the US posted in the development forum comes with both Browser and Chrome built in. Wished it came with all the ftfs as I prefer Browser.
Take the browser apk from the us firmware

It force close, anyone had done this properly? I done putting it in /system/app, renamed browser(1) to browser and vice versa, it still won't work
DId you change the permisions properly???

Yup, I changed it to rw--r--r like suggested but still not working. I checked for browserproxyprovider.odex but there isn't any, just the browserproxyprovider.apk
Has anyone gotten this to work? I wish I had my zl all ready so I can test...
Most likely won't work unless someone messes with the apk

Anyone got this working without root?
I am not at all enamored with Chrome and I did not have default browser on my C6506 at purchase.
Seems contradictory that Google won't simply provide essentially their own stock browser in the market.

There is NOT going to be ANY solution without rooting, unless you get a 3rd party browser from the market place..
This is Awesome! Anyway to get it Tabbed? like Tabbed at the top? I was able to do that with Muti DPI on my Note 2.
I'm not sure what your asking I had note 2 also and this stock browser is not exactly like the one on note 2 I wish it was.

Whoow I want this!! I was doubting between the HTC One and Xperia ZL...
The HTC One comes with a perfect stock browser; Flash, text reflow en quick controls.
The Xperia ZL comes with Google Chrome, which I hate, but this looks very, very nice!
Whatabout Flash? Text reflow? If you want and have time, can you make a little vid? :angel:
Flash and textreflow both work.

In this movie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcItXcUgiEs&feature=youtu.be
of a Canadian user of a 6506 model of the Xperia ZL, you see 'browser' at 00:50:
So I've asked which browser it was:
Which browser is 'browser' that you've showed?
From Google Play? Otherwise a link to an .apk? Thanks for the video!
He answered:
Its the stock browser that comes on the phone - The AOSP Browser - Sony includes it on the Phone.
I've asked:
Wait, whut... :s
On the XDA-forum there is said that it isn't...
Do you have a branded version of the 6506? Provider-software?
Thanks!
Answer:
Phone is completely stock
It's Bell Mobility Version in Canada - Model C6506 - Bought without contract.
To be honest, Chrome works better on this phone than my Note II or any other phone I've owned in the past -
so I usually use it. I made this video the day I got the phone so I hadn't configured or used it more than 4-5 hours.
I'm sure any AOSP apk would work though - XDA should have it.
I WANT IT! No sh#t with rooting, just an .apk Somebody that can provide it? :fingers-crossed::victory:

We just don't get it. Old Xperia L could play it, but the S3 get's no love on the game for some reason,.
Its an issue with 4.3 on the S3 and I don't know why they haven't been able to fix it. I did get it to run a while back but had to install an older version that I knew worked because I used to run it
Yeah the older versions worked perfectly but the new one is not.

This new versions been out for a while. I dont think theyre doing a bug fix.
Ps: does anyone know how to disable the update notification in the old versions. i cant play with data/wifi on because it keep bugging me to update to the new version. it takes me to the market and as you know its "incompetible"
If enough people email the dev it might motivate them to fix it. Especially if everyone starts demanding refunds and leaving poor reviews. No guarantee of course, but its more guaranteed that nothing will happen if no one tries to make it happen!
In app manager most apps have a checkbox for display notifications. Maybe that'll help?

I have found a solution. I was browsing Samsung's galaxy app store and saw asphalt 8 being featured so I was like what the hay, so I installed it and it runs perfectly! Maybe they forgot to unblock the S3 from when it was having problems at Google play? Anyways give it a try!
