Hi, I need some help! I have a Sony Ericsson Xperia Play Android phone that came preloaded with The Sims 3! Today I got a Play Store notification saying that it had to update! I always keep my apps up to date so I clicked update! Then when it was on about 60%, I realized the change log was written really weird! Then I noticed the publisher of the app was APPZ not EA! I canceled the update at about 80%! Has EA's Sims 3 app been hacked or do I have a virus or my phone! I downloaded AVG anti-virus mobile on my phone and ran a scan and it came back clean! Can someone please help me???

I never downloaded any cheats! My hubby also got this update on his Xperia Play and he has never opened that game, let alone setup that game on his phone! I think EA got hacked and they are corrupting our phones!

since i bought my HTC One X i've been legally downloading all my apps via google play.

i've tried settings>apps>gta 3>clear data/cache
still the same, dont know what to do and its too late to get a refund via google play.
sorry if this has been posted before, but ive tried google and havent been on these forums for a while.

Have you consult or sent an e-mel to the developers?
Uninstall and install the game again.
And remove the folder on your sdcard

I am updating my old HTC Incredible to give to a friend who demolished their smart phone and cant updated right now.
I have it currently at 4.08.605.15 ... seems okay.
But when I hit Market, it loads a web page to Google Play rather than opening up the market app...
Not quite sure what is going on.
Note that I currently have the phone on wifi only.. no VZW service...but I don't think that should matter.
UPDATE...
Just finished posting this... and I look at the phone and the New Market (google play) Icon is now there... strange...

Play Store (aka Market) will update itself if you give it half a chance and a data connection, so the change of icon is not surprising. Is it working now?
Yep.... was a bit confusing since I thought the apps had not loaded properly. Guess I never gave it a chance to update until I set it down to post.
Just put the phone through the various apps it comes with... works great... haven't picked it up for sometime since replaced it with my Rezound.
Recall it being the best phone I'd had up to that time.

I am having the same problem. No data connection, just "WIFI". When you said data, is this the only way the play store will update? I just flashed Touch of blue V:2.2 Not trying to hijack but keep the threads together since they are the same issue.
EDIT: I figured it out! After resetting the phone a couple times it worked. You have to be quick and click on the market while looking for the "accept" button to appear. It will only be there for 1 second and if it's not hit in time you will be redirected to the google play website. Hope this might help someone else.
Hello everyone.. I have recently installed cleanrom 2.6 on my Nexus 7 2013. I live in the UK and now I can't access UK apps or any paid apps. Can someone help me out here please...
Thanks in advance!
That's all controlled on your Google account. Sign into it and you'll have all your paid apps still, you just need to open Google play and install them.

I have signed into my Google account. All thats showing up when browsing the Play Store is free apps. Theres no sign of paid or UK apps. If I search all the popular apps nothing comes up. It's as if Google thinks I'm in a different country when I'm not. The same thing happened on my Neo x5 media box with a custom rom. When I use a VPN and select UK it will then bring up all the paid UK apps. As soon as I disconnect the VPN It goes back to free apps. Obviously I don't want to have to do this every time I use the Play Store, It's really fustrating..... So if anyone knows what the problem is please let me know!

I had the same problem a day or two ago, I rebooted my tablet and that seemed to fix it.

I'm running stock rooted, but have seen the same thing on my N4 with CM11, it will likely fix itself in a day or so.
So I just got a new Z5P for myself and I have the Dual SIM version (E6883). I factory reset it with the help of the
Xperia Companion. I then proceeded to move all my stuff from my old Z3 Dual onto this phone. Seemed great until
I realized I have no Play Store and no Google Play Services.
Everything works and things moved to the SD card very easily by just going into the "Data" part and telling it to move data.
I tried to get a Google Play Service but they all caused major problem and didn't work at all. The only one that seemed to "work"
keep resetting my phone and when it reset it would 'Optimize Apps" and then turn on. Except none of the apps worked cause it said
they were on the SD card and couldn't be used.
So I have no idea what's up or how to fix it. There are so many different Play Store and Play Service APKs I don't know which one is for this version.
Or even why it's missing. Why does it matter? Well I have no link to my Google Account like this, or Calendar. Almost no games want to work without the
Play Services.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Also, is there a working Root out for it now?

Hello all, reached into a drawer to mess with xperia play I want to sell after a few years. I have a 8 gb card in it (learned that it acts silly on usb without that), but the issue is that the Market app seems broken and the phone is seemingly not updating it to google play.
I seem to remember that back in the day my xperia play when reset would after a few minutes/hours of being connected to wifi and connected to a google account would update the Market app to the Play Store and things would work fine. Not this time. I"m worried that if I sell it like this the buyer will be unhappy and come back to me.
Market says:
"attention, a server error has occurred, retry or acancela nd return to the previous screen." Retrying twice puts it back on a load screen which seems to do nothing. Hitting menu button brings up search, my apps, settings and help as normal, help loads up website, settings brings up settings as seemingly normal...
Please help! Device is vanilla, unrooted, never was, and sd card is 8gb and freshly formatted.
Did you find a fix for this? IT was working great until I did a factory reset now I'm stuck with this error I have tried resetting again. Clearing data and catch it doesn't do anything.

Sadly no, no solution. I sold the phone and the buyer has left me positive feedback, I assume his intention was to go full out and put on a CFW to what he wanted with it. Someone on reddit suggested that gingerbread may to be too old to receive updates now and that all xperia plays might be in the same boat.
As for me, I'm using an Nvidia Shield, Tuvva gamepad and GP7 these days. I do miss the Xperia Play's portability and other strengths. If I could have a xperia play with updated specs and a 5 inch or bigger screen I would buy it on launch day.
I downloaded a Play Store apk and installed that and it automatically updates the market to Play store. Hope that helps.
