Maybe your "mate" should have thought about that before getting the phone!

You want random reboots?
If you have doomkernel or any other kernel with cpu voltage changing enabled, download IncrediControl and set all of your CPU voltages to the lowest values. Your phone will restart faster than you blink your eyes

Getting Xperia Play! What should I know?

First thing, sorry for not searching but I'm going to br busy over the coming week or two with school and tests so please, I would be very grateful.
--
What are the main things I should know about the Xperia Play?
(In terms of Rooting and Bootloader Unlocking etc)
I'm coming from an Xperia 8 and I'm not a n00b at Android hacking so I can take a lot in.
Also, is there any bug in the Play that I should know about? I'm hoping that by the time I get mine (2 weeks) it will. Come shipped with ICS.
If not, I can use PCC ....right?
Thanks guys,
Really looking forward to joining the R800i community.

Anything guys?

It probably won't come with ICS. However, if you unlock your bootloader (free using Sony's official method if you have an R800i) we have an official ICS beta from Sony. It's perfectly stable for everyday use. There are also a few roms based on it.
We can't flash kernels from recovery so get used to using fastboot. It's actually pretty simple.
Be aware that the gamepad doesn't work properly in non-stock based roms - CM7 for example. Sony's stock rom is actually quite good anyway once you've de-bloated.
Other than that it's just another Android phone really

Thanks for your reply
Yea, don't worry. I'm used to flashing kernels and backups in Flashtool from my X8 , so fast boot shouldn't be too hard, but I'll have have to learn more about it as we don't have that over on the X8....
Also, its a bit of a bummer that the game pad doesn't work on custom ROMs :/
But just as a matter of interest, does the game pad work on the ICS Beta and can the game pad or
down arrow be used for scrolling on web pages?
And I'm also very surprised that Sony have given access to a Boot loader Unlocking tool!
Anyway, thank you very much for your reply.

Gamepad works fine on the official beta, although some games don't perform as well as they do in GB.
Yes, D-pad can be used for scrolling web pages

If I were you I'd flash the Sony beta ICS with the Sony kernel. Unless you like games, then I'd flash the latest Gingerbread ROM. Emulators (especially PSXperia) work better with GB.

Ah, OK thanks
And if I happen to get an R800i model, where can I unlock its bootlader, as MicaelBH said Sony have a free unlocking tool.
Also, I'm hoping that the Xperia Play can be rooted in flash tool..right?
Again, I really appreciate your answers.

Ya I love that game. All you have to do is get off ICS. I love that game and GTAIII.But for some reason a LOT of games don't work on ICS.Thats the main reason I went back to GB. I have a lot of kids and they always wanna play them. Right now I'm on MIJJA 3.0 and it rocks. Since he updated the last el29 version it has all ICS animations, boot animation, CWM, plays all the gaming apps and no worries about bricking. Plus, all modems work with all ROMS and kernels. I'm on FD16 modem now. I'm currently trying to get some help making an AOSP lock screen mod for it. Ive already posted a crt mod for it. I really don't see b what the big deal is with ICS. Its really not all that better. We'll see what happens after source comes out. Oh and I got Sonic 2 running on my phone right.now.. He he he

is it safe?

I presume you're talking about triangle away by chain fire. I would say if you are on a ICS kernel and ROM that there is a chance since it messes with the boot loader but on ICS, give it a shot. I used it on FD02 and had no problems. Removed the triangle PERMANENTLY(i really couldn't tell you how) and reset my binary count to 0. i gotta warn you though do. NOT use it on .GB YOU WILL BRICK IF ON GB.

if i use chainfire it will brick it?
im on gb right now
o no i meant chainfire3d lol
i got a jig off amazon after i got the eptouch

Ooh my bad the above post i was posting to your other thread about sonic 2. Lol i have no idea about chain fire 3d.
Jigs don't work after eg30 tho. You would have to flash the eg30 boot loader. Calculin posted one somewhere. I can post it if you can't find it with xda/google search bar above.

Well, it doesn't just *work*, you have to change some of the per app settings\individual app settings... something along those lines, I'm pretty sure for street fighter it was qualcomm. But for alot of games you have to set it to nvidia.
You can set it to use one of the plugins for everything in general, but i'd advise using the per app settings instead.
There's lots of other settings you can change but it's just something you can tinker with to get performance and graphics how you like them. It's a very useful app.
Along with mobile Odin, chainfire has created 2 of the most useful android apps around

Make a new folder under Android ... Should look like this .. Android/obb/the game data.. Should work. As it works for me

I've been hearing that complaint from people with Tegra 2 devices as well, seems like it's pretty hard to get working on non-Tegra 3 devices right now. There will be a version for other phones released at some point though.

Need help asap! Please read & comment!

Ok so, I already own an Xperia Play R800x with Verizon Wireless. So I know what I'm in for.
Here's the story, about 2 months ago a local pawn shop had a Brand New Xperia Play 4G (AT&T) for $199.
So before I could buy it some other guy picked it up and got an extended warranty. BUT TODAY, the guy brought it back to the pawn shop, there is now a $49 price tag on it... sounds good right, here's the concern.
The guy told me he brought in the phone and said the phone randomly turns off, sometimes in 5 minutes, sometimes in 30...it just randomly turns off. I did not check if he had any custom roms on anything like that installed so assume it's stock.
So here's the question, what do you think is wrong with it? I myself have 2 theories, A: the battery is faulty. or B: the charging cord is inferior or not of the proper voltage....
What do y'all think??

Everything need to be confirm with a device on hand & after a fresh flash of stock ftf. Obviously it sounded like software matter. Mybe he messed up systems file or download/install somethings that is not compatible with Play. Ie, "warez". So like i said above, "Every problem(s) need to be confirm after a fresh flash of stock ftf".
So if u think its a good deal then just get it. Then figure out "how-to" fix it. This is what "xda" all about. So...

Yep, dont think its a hardware problem. If it was, It wouldnt happen, then stop then happen again. Thats just weird.
He probably installed too much apps or hacked it or somethin like that.
Ask the person if he dropped it or somethin.

I can try but I doubt he'd tell me if he dropped it lol.
From little research I've discovered when the cpu gets too hot the phone reboots....so perhaps he has something running in the background that triggers his phone to randomly goes off according to what apps and things he may be running?
Just based on what it sounds like I'd say it's a software issue but I also want people thoughts & input.
Thanks keep it coming
