I stupidly deleted funandgames.apk on my rooted xperia play.
now when I flip open the pad I cannot goto more games and see what new game delights is available
I have downloaded system dump and still can't find the newer .368 dump
just the old one with getgames.apk which doesn't retrieve any games. just says loading and distant do anything. anyone friendly people Wanna share funandgames.apk with me or direct me to a system dump with this on. your help would be appreciated.
also my battery drains quite quickly on .368 compared to .184 still the same apps etc running nothing different any ideas people. will this stablise over time? cheers
It's the firmware that's killing your battery. Use a generic 2.3.2 and ota to 2.3.3. Had some problem. Also I froze the fun and downloads.apk just press the search button at the top right to see all the xperia play optimized games in the market. I noticed ea and gameloft games don't show so here you go.

I was stupid and deleted mine too. didn't think it would effect the xperia play launcher.
If anybody could post the apk it would be awesome.
big thanks to aranium. funandgames is back up and running. cheers,
Thanks rhis helped me out, I had done the same thing doh!! worked a dream
Hello.
I need your opinions.
I preffer something stable and smooth, and it's GB for me, I flashed ICS, and browsing on youtube is not so well. I need flash content, havent test it with games.
Lol.
Update. Or try ICS custom ROM's
Arc S, Updated here, very pleased. Performance is about the same, or better in other areas.
I rooted and removed some of the included crud, switched to Go Launcher and limited my background apps to 4, and it's running very nicely.
I think most of the problems and gripes are from the less powerful Arc Lt15i owners running hacked roms.

Stock launcher worked well (perhaps better than Go Launcher), but I miss the Go Launcher widgets and can't live without them.
Unlocked my bootloader using the testpoint method, and tried some of the custom ICS roms. My phone now feels much, much faster than it did even on GB. It absolutely flies.
Surprised to hear that stock ICS is laggy. Seems to me that if there was ever a good reason to unlock your bootloader, ICS is that reason.
I'm on locked boot loader and have upgraded. Remember for anyone upgrading using flashtool, connect to Sony update service and REPAIR, I flashed last night and I am pretty impressed. I don't know what everyone is moaning about. You even have root already. One thing to do as well is download Apex Launcher which is only available for ICS so go and check out play store and see three phone fly!!

You need to download adobe flash player 11 from the Android market in order to used the flash.
I agree with you I miss my Agenda widget with GO but... alternatively I have APEX with PureCalendar Widget which is working great.

I came back to GB because of the many glitches in games. Those cannot be solved by repairing using the update service right ?
In back on GB. If you like playing games then ICS is useless.

I started a similar thread but got closed.
I to was wondering about staying on gb or go with ics, in the end my techie nerd took over and switched to ics, can't say it has any real benefits apart from the show of factor that my arc has got ics.
I was very sceptical because of the negatives that people had,i have not had these issues even when playing games like temple run or angry birds etc...
The only thing I miss is the amount of mods, themes available,i know in time they will come but my techie geek wants them now.
So in short yes upgrade and enjoyB-)

So, I'm still using GB on my Arc S, and planning to flash ICS, there are two major bugs I've collected from posts on the forum that concerns me:
1. Low fps video recording
Is this only for 720p video or also for lower resolution recording?
2. Games not working smoothly,
Is this only for HD Games, or do games like Fruit Ninja and Angry Birds also have problems?
Been to ICS for less than 24 hours,got back to GB,I owned lt15i,maybe that is the main reason why is it lagging in some parts,but, there is no real big thing in ICS Arc to really shout about.
If i am upgrading,I will probably wait a month or two after it's official launch for my model,for the sake getting everything else easily,because to get recovery for ics on lt15i is real pain right now, in my opinion at least.Depending on which arc you owned,I really think that it will make a difference if I actually owned lt18i.For lt15i,it is a strict no,no for me right now.

Hi guys,
I am using a HTC one x atnt version. Am facing an issue with multi tasking. If I open a web page on any web browser and then start any other app and then using the multi tasking button and scroll to the web browser, it reloads the web page again instead of maintaining the page loaded.
Also for me spotify keeps logging out if I switch to another task.
Please advice as to why this is happening
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
If you do a quick search or glance around the forums, you can see that the multitasking issue was intentional on behalf of HTC. They have allocated so much RAM to sense that there normally isn't enough RAM to split up between all your apps, causing aggressive memory management. Fix is to root or wait for OTAs hopefully to remedy this issue.
Ok, i´m about to sell my HOX because of this.
I can´t root, because i will loose the guarantee. My gps is working very badly, so i need the guarantee.
But when i´m using a mapping software for hiking, each time i take a photo, the app restarts and with some apps i loose all the settings. Thats ridiculous.
My Winmo phones and lately my iphone did this perfectly.
So the iphone has a better Multitasking then the HOX? OMG
So i heard the Galaxy S3 is doing the same thing? Is that true? Which device can i buy then? a note or a galaxy s2?
thx, nearly
sell it then
I have an S3 and it doesn't do that.
I m finding that perceived multi tasking is getting worse by the device. I also have an iPad and the perception of multi tasking is better there.
Its based on the fact that a lot of android apps don't save state when they are closed. I don't know whether the developers are lazy

But I'm not closing my apps. I'm new to android, but my understanding is that you close an app with the back button.
I always use the home button or the multi tasking button.
I set multitasking to 4 apps, but that didn't help.
If I just toggle between my GPS mapping app and the camera, it already doesn't work anymore.
And I'm not using the sense launcher. I use apex.
The iPhone and my Touch HD had both 512mb RAM. The hox has 1GB and still doesn't multitasking?
So is it safe to by an S3 instead? Does it have more free ram?
I also hope with the S3 I can root legally and maybe even get an asop Rom at some point, which would have a lot more ram and deal perfectly with multitasking.

It appears from comments that the AT&T One X right now is more aggressive in killing apps to free memory.
On the International version running the latest stock firmware, I can usually open and use 4-6 apps with the browser simultaneously without the browser being killed. These apps include Google Maps, Twitter, IMDB, Angry Birds, etc. Using System Panel, I've noticed that the One X will rarely kill apps until free memory drops to around 150 MB. From a restart, the One X has about 350 MB free.
Also, I noticed that flipping through Flipboard tends to especially cause a lot of frequent browser restarts, even when there is 200+ MB of free memory, maybe suggesting that some of its operations require large amounts of additional memory. Perhaps you have an app that is like that.
I would suggest using System Panel to check on your free memory, the memory used by your apps and the free memory threshold as to when the One X starts killing apps.
I just did a quick test right after booting my One X... I opened Google Maps, then Android's browser, then Chrome and then the Camera. Used each app for a few seconds only, not even loading opening pages on the browsers or taking pics with the camera. After doing all this, Maps had been killed and needed to be restarted and when I tried to open Chrome, it needed to be loaded again too.
With the big amount of hardware issues plaguing the HOX, I can't risk losing the warranty to gain root and fix this myself, and it seems clear that HTC won't provide a solution, so if the S3 doesn't have this problem I'll seriously consider exchanging my HOX for an S3.
The s3 is suffering similar multitaking/ram issues. I saw a thread in their Q&A section.

I returned my HOX due to the horrific lack of multi-tasking. Played around with the S3 last week in Europe. It seems just fine and did not have to reload any web pages or map programs.

Another plus for the ugly S3. Im considering now to get a second hand S2 and put cyanogen mod on it. And than i will wait for another superphone. Maybe a windows phone 8...

It is very safe to buy the S3 rather if multi tasking is a major issue. From what I've seem the OneX even closes the launcher and live wallpapers. Don't know why they didn't put two mb of ram. The S3i ave with the exact same apps doesn't close apps nearly anywhere as often.
The problem is with Android itself and maybe the developers. In that either the apps dont save state or the system doesn't request.
On iOS the OS closes all apps on pressing the home screen button but saves the apps state. So when u go back to an app its where I left it.
I would think android would have an advantage coz it doesn't immediately close apps. So when u go back to an app it's probably even progressed as is now more current than it was when u left it. The problem when it closes the app due to low resources the apps don't save state. Very frustrating.
Conclusion, get an S3 it won't close the apps due to low resources half as often.

So, now i got something odd.
2 days ago my HOX went super slow. Even in safe mode.
I resetted it and now i can toggle between Backcountry Navigator and the camera.
If i add one or two other apps, BN will restart.
Anyway, i recently switched to Mytrails and things are looking even better there.
So, i wouldnt call multitasking great now, but my basic needs are fulfilled.
It seems, now i have to send it 3 weeks to htc for repair the bloody gps-module...
Hi guys
I was used a galaxy s plus with no comparable specification of Sony Xperia S, but unfortunately I found many problems when I used Sony Xperia S that doesn't appear to me in Galaxy S plus that has poor specifications.
For Example :
1 My Sony Xperia S always refreshing when I enter to Album
2 . The Keyboard Suddenly hidden and I can''t control it (when i typing hidden and appear)
3 . Font type can't change
4. My Xperia stop working one time for more than 7 Minutes and I can't do any thing !!!!
5. the signal of WiFi is poor and i try another device and the signal excellent
6. when I received What's app message during listen to music, the Sony will hung for a moment.
I am really sad when I choose Xperia S when I see these problems
because my friends don't have these problems and some people advice me to upgrade the system to jelly bean and current version of the system is 4.0.4
Please if anybody has similar problems tell me , I want to give a complaint to the company !!!
5, the wifi signal is fine, just because the phone shows it is low it doesn't mean it actually is, use WIFI Anaylzer to see the actual strength. Despite the signal shown as non existent i can connect to my router 60 yards away when stood at the bus stop.
6, Call me stupid but wont all phones pause the music briefly when you receive a message so you can hear the message tone?
Sounds like it could maybe be RAM related... Just another possibility

The font change thing is a thing Samsung included. I think their idea was great, considering how much that stock font suck. For us, go to Xperia P, U, Sola section, Themes and Apps, and search for Font Changer Script.

My Xperia S with ICS (.55 custom firmware) is perfect. Even when I was on stock there was no lag and everythings worked well.
dear friend if u know how to root ur Xperia S i have simple way for u just find a same Xperia S with
difrent build.pro after rooting ur phone use root explorer & copy past to system make rw,r,r permision
and reboot ur phone & update with Sony Update or do repair with PC Companion everything will be just great
i did the same my phone is wonderful
Really? I have no problems with it at all. Relating to speed, I can even say my S has a quite faster UI than a Galaxy S3 TouchWiz on 4.0.4 (S3 on jellybean is faster, though).
I must admit that with a stock rom I was also disappointed about the overall performance of this smartphone. Its hardware should be more than sufficient to work smoothly with ICS and it doesn't. It lags switching between desktops, in drawing recent tasks list, resuming apps and so on but with a custom rom (my BL is locked, so all of them come from stock) it works great.
It is still a disappointment because although I like to tests roms, they use to have several bugs so you have to flash again and again, wipe, backup, restore. It can be a pain in the neck.
In general, I love this phone, its design, its screen but its software and Sony's updates suport is disgusting.
Just change to other custom rom like XTX V9 or other base .55, you will free with all problem
AW: Xperia S Disappointed me.
I'm on Stock 45 and have none of your Problems. Everything is just fine. Reflash your rom and if that doesn't help update to another Rom.
Changing your Font is really easy, just use FontChanger! (PlayStore, root)

I am really satisfied with the camera, although a fix on XDA helped to make it focus faster. If you check the thread in this forum where people show their photos, you will see that it can take good photos (at least for a smartphone).
I wasn't thrilled with the stock ICS ROM, so I moved to a custom JB one. That was an improvement; no lags!
Back on the days when I was using stock rom I felt like this phone wasn't that great, I mean I felt it laggy, unresponsive and all that stuffs. However after many roms changes, I found XTx v9, and It's great very smooth. I do really love my phone in this way.
I am happy with my Xperia S from March 2012
It just run a little bit lag after I almost used up the phone memories with many folders on my Home screen.
I just exchange my yellow tint display from sony and reinstall a new custom rom
everything runs fine and fast
Hi,
I know that there is a discussion thread for 4.3 but instead here I'm interested in those that have or are thinking about downgrading back to 4.1.
I've been using Sony/Ericsson phones for years and most upgrades are good, but some aren't. One of the worst decisions probably was when they upgraded phones with 512mb RAM to 4.0. The phones became so slow that they were almost unusable. It was a perfect example of when an upgrade with an attractive Sony marketing appeal didn't work out well for the average user.
I upgraded normally to 4.3. The phone suddenly kept freezing until it could not be used at all. I had to remove the battery repeatedly. The next day I reinstalled the software via PCC to try to repair. The same situation. I changed the SI codes to other firmware. The same situation. I tried SUS and reset the phone entirely. This helped a little, the freezing is gone. However, there are a few annoyances I have left:
Why I'm Downgrading
1. Almost every time that I press the Home key, the screen stutters like it's having a heart attack. The screen kind of flashes white and black then eventually goes to home. What the heck is that?
2. I like the white UI but I don't like the themes or the dark colours in the SMS/phonebook. I much prefer the bright, happy colours of 4.1.
3. Everytime that I open the phonebook it takes several seconds. The phonebook is one of the apps supposed to be kept in constant memory. Why is closed and reopened all of the time? It's a primary function of a phone and it should work properly.
4. The phone feels slower, despite resetting the phone, repairing the software about 3 times. Why? That is not an upgrade.
5. People talk about the new Xperia Themes and yet they are broken. You have to unlock your bootloader to root to use a theme? That is insane and I'm not voiding warranty for a theme. It was a nice idea advertised by Sony about the 4.3 update (I have the screenshot) and now it is removed from the 4.3 advert. They screwed it up is why.
6. I cannot see any benefit in gaming graphics/speed/whatever else people want to imagine.
What I Need to Upgrade
When a new, major Sony update comes, I've often found it to be very buggy. But, some time later, a new, smaller upgrade comes that fixes many things I wait for that.
1. No lag.
2. No screen freezing / stuttering
Have you downgraded to 4.1? Are you thinking about it?
Please - this is for a genuine discussion with like-minded people. If you think talking about 4.1 is crazy, please no rude comments.
I agree.
And don't forget, the battery drains quicker.
Sent from my C1904 using Tapatalk
I never upgraded due to there not being a root method for 4.3 with locked bootloader. Like I mentioned, there really is no reason to upgrade especially if they still haven't fixed the blue tint camera problem in low light
i think u guys are not installed cleanly...
becoz mine in 4.3 is awesome,no lag,opengl3.0 activated meaning lot of games which has more graphics will work smoothly,..
bug is themer,battery draining /...but themer has fixer...after that i love 4.3...lot of cool themes...i m using spiderman 2 now
may be sony will fix the both in next update...
4.3 has lot of ported camera,apps...
try them...even z2 camera is ported...
camera quality is improved and can be stored in sd directly ...[till now i didnt face blue tint pics]
I haven't got any issues that you mentioned. I updated my phone via Sony PC companion and then made a factory reset. Everything works fine except few little bugs like not working themes or disappearing Google now shortcut (but I like this bug because this nav bar ring sometimes is really annoying).
p.s.
About battery life: I totally don't feel any difference.
True, phone app doesn't keep in ram but it opens fast (like 2 seconds) so I don't care.

Oh yeah this is the biggest 4.3 issue because with root we can solve all other problems
Good to see others think the same. Also, because I repaired the software and did a factory reset a few times, I don't know why it would be a bad flash? I did try a few times.
I updated and honestly it's smooth and the battery life is equal or better than 4.1 and everything loads quite quick aswell so I'm happy with it at the time being

I always use online synchronization of my contacts. So I could change my phone without worrying of contacts.
I trust "youlu address book" for the same for more than 5 years. Actually I love its dialer feature.
we could download contacts to any phone (symbian, android, ios, windows)
Everything works fine here, I did a factory reset 3 days ago and haven't really encountered any issues yet...I can live without root for now, I don't currently have sdcard at all actually, I have a couple of bigger games installed(shadowgun, riptide, minecraft) and a small music collection and I still have 450 mb left. Battery lasts for 1 full day and a half for me, it's more than enough. Therefore, I'm keeping it.

Yeah this happened to me too. If you ever try 4.3 again, you'll see that it reads your SMS and contacts fine. So if it's backed up in 4.3 and restored in 4.1, those two parts don't come out right. Have you ever backed up contacts to your SD card?
If you have no other option, you would have to restore 4.3, restore the backup, then backup contacts to SD in phonebook and use an app to save SMS.

It's strange that some of us have 4.3 working great and the rest of us don't. Plenty of us here know how to flash properly, upgrade, reset or repair in bad cases. I do not know!
Can confirm the performance hit. Apps that are affected include Home (album widget loads noticeably slowly). Album app also loads images slower. Superuser permission requests seem slower (really odd). Also I noticed that Titanium Backup is not able to uninstall system apps (Had to use another app from Play). Will update my experiences.
Overall I also think the phone itself felt snappier with 4.1.2. The lockscreen music player access is absent in 4.3, though themes are a welcome addition.
I've decided to stick with 4.3 for some more time and see if I can work through. Downgrading to 4.1 is definitely on my list though.
thinking to downgrade to 4.1
As all greedy guys out there, i updated my xperia m c1904 to 4.3... 5 days back...
Thing i've noticed so far
1.Getting struck while pressing the home button ( like a jerk)
2.Missing google now on press-hold and drag on the home button.
3.The main reason i updated to 4.3 is for the colorful themes, which seem to be missing as the phone has to be rooted( i dont wanna screw my warranty ) for accessing those themes, so i'm struck with the default themes.
4. The album and the walkman player take quite sometime to open although there is no lag after opening. This is a minor issue i can ignore though.
5. The worst part of 4.3 is the disability of not being able to function the equalizer app to boost the volume. Yes, i am an audiophile and i'd like to listen at loud volumes in my earphones. Whichever equalizer app i install fails to boost the volume of the phone. I haven't found this issue in 4.1 so I might be thinking more for this reason to downgrade my phone.
6.Another worst part is the contact and the call log loading slower than 4.1, when i receive a call it takes about 5secs to display the name which i already have in my phonebook, this is plain annoying and disgusting.
I've heard a lot in forums that a factory reset might help. I'm resetting my phone now, will update if any improvements.
Thanks

Pardon me, how do you active openGL 3.0? Your wording seems as if there is one buried setting that I haven't turned on. I haven't noticed at ALL any improvements to my game, probably even more lag, but I ain't sure cuz I have really bad memory.
Keep in mind that OpenGL ES 3.0 won't make games magically run faster, you'll only see benefits if you run an game or app optimized to use OpenGL ES 3.0 (and there isn't many around -- right now I remember only of Dolphin emulator). Also, any ROM based on Android 4.3 will have OpenGL ES 3.0 enabled, there is no way of turning it off...
