Atrix to ATT xperia play

I have a bootloader unlocked, rooted atrix running ninja speed freak. I love it! I have been useing an Android device for a little over a month. I really would like to go buy the xperia play for att when it comes out. I am just worried about the 400mb of internal storage. I am under the impression all Apps must be stored on the device, not the sd card. I hear if you root your device you can then store apps on the sd card, I just have not messed with it since this atrix has 16 gigs internal storage.
From my reading it looks rather difficult to root a branded phone. Now id love to unlock the bootloader to flash the doom kernal to overclock a bit for Final Fantasy IIV. I am a big gamer and just love the slide out control pad though.
What would you all think? Keep the atrix, get the new iPhone if it ever comes out, or get the xperia play for ATT?

im using a r800x which is the vzw version
this thing is crazy fast overclocked and stripped of the bloatware runs smooth on stock rom
thats what i did i stripped the crap outta the stock rom i removed the preloaded games only kept crash due to needing the files for psxperia
i bought this with the intention of psxperia fpse and ALL the emulators enough to fullfill my naughty needs lol
downside is the internal mem but depends on the users if your an app whore then you need to figure shi out
but i uno it does come with a 8gb pre installed
the bootloader was a bi#% to unlock for vzw r800x
gsm models can be unlocked thru the website you just enter your imei number and root away
im happy with it due to the gaming capabilities and things as far as rom dev etc is barely beginning cant wait to see what happens
i honestly just hate the storage nothing a 32 gb sd card wont fix
just boils down to if ur a gamer and a techy
it does take some time to use psxperia but def worth it
i uno in the end the hardware is good just a matter of software which sony is notorious for this thing is just underrated due to lack of support nothing a little xda love wont solve lol
i will never go back to the icrap

If other carriers are an indication, the AT&T play will not be rootable.

Exactly what I want to do with the AT&T version! Hopefully I can. Comes out the 18th. Gonna pick it up then. Hopefully I can figure out a root, and bootloader unlock solution

App2sd is very easy on the Xperia Play, even without root
Get android sdk, open up command prompt (for windows users) navigate to platform-tools, and type in:
adb shell
pm setInstallLocation 2
reboot
Saved so much space with this!

From reading through tons of these forums, looks like what I need to do is purchase a sim unlock code, then ill have fastboot access, allowing me to unlock the bootloader and root. Right?

sim unlock is different only thing sim unlocking will do is let you use tmobile or any other gsm service(sim card) on it
things are a bit hasty right now for unlocking the bootloader but im sure things will get moving again
guess we can only wait and see until its released to see about the website bootloader unlocking

Ah I see. Well hopefully it will run decent till a good solution is found. This play will be my second android device. Still a bit new to this platform. Gotta say its easier then messing with consoles!
Now to overclock and remove bloat is the bootloader unlock required or just root? I'm sure if I could just freeze apps that would help out

i personally love it
plus just the novelty of it
unlocked bootloader is needed for for overclocking because it involves flashing files thru a custom recovery
not sure of the gsm version but the cdma version thru verzion the bootloader needs to be unlocked to flash the root files thru custom recovery also
yeah you can carry the majority of the consoles in your pocket lol

Come on 18th!!!!
Might even sell the atrix then

I was one of those people who switched from an iPhone 4 to the Xperia Play and let me tell you I am happy that I did. I loved my iPhone4, but gaming on it was not the same without that gamepad. The only downside (for me at least) is that the XPlay isn't as snappy or responsive as the iPhone (even overclocked and with bloatware stripped).
But like I said, you should get the XPlay if you're more of a gamer...

Yes, it is a very good phone for its price. It works great with sense 2.1 roms and cm7. it has ics update, look at the development forum.. it is buggy, but modpunk will fix it soon.

All in all, I am satisfied with it.
But only when you root/OC it.Then it works without any lag on sense 2.1/3.5 ROMs, as well as on CM7.
ICS is available(CM9), it's still in alpha stage, but it's very good.There aren't so many bugs considering it's in alpha stage.
modpunk is great developer, and he will sort it all out.
If you're asking about official ICS..no.We will not get it.
HTC does not care for their customers, that's the reason.

Wfs is definately good choice for its price, get anything bit sony cr*p,they really dont care about customers

I thinks also its a great phone for his price.
It's a mid range phone, but when the phone is rooted its nearly a high end phone.
I'm very glad with the WFS

unless smallness is a major priority, you might instead look around for a used incredible S. It would be about the same price as a contractless wildfire S ($200-250 around here), and packs a bigger screen, better processor, lots more internal storage, has a full software s-off available, and will be getting ICS sometime this year.

Good phone, gsm or cdma?
Sent from my HTC_A510c using xda premium

I think there is GSM (Marvel) and CDMA(marvelc) variant, I am using GSM.
Simply superb, at first the battery backup is low. But now it is well for me. Happy to use this phone

I have a cdma.
Pros
-sleek and stylish
-radio shack has white
-good CPU speed
-great camera
-nice clear screen
Cons
-Bad battery life
-phone is VERY light, feels cheap
-no backdoor cover for extended battery for cdma
-hard to find cases for cdma
-some phones can be defective (I had 2)
-touch screen response isnt the best
Overall I give it a 6/10, I've had my phone since black Friday, you get what you pay for really, for a new comer into Android development this is a good starter. I honestly would recommend the LG optimus v over this phone. This is just my opinion, goodluck

I have owned every Android phone that T-MOUSA has ever released and by far this is the best of them all in every sense. This is the first Android phone that is buttery smooth from the box. I also have always hated Manufacturer UI overlays but have grown very fond of TW 4 or what ever it is called.
Ofcourse this is my personal opinion.

absolutely agree....This phone stock is badass and everything just works on top of that is buttery smooth. this is the first stock rom that I stayed on and said wow I could get used to this. I stayed on it for quite a while but then had to venture off to cm10 also our development is getting better by the day. Our cm10 based roms are pretty much daily drivers which is awesome cuz a lot of phones either have audio issues or data issues...again everything pretty much just works. The camera on this phone is so amazing especially in low light that definitely wowed me. To sum it all up it is the best phone on the market imo and the best t-mobile has ever had.... Just get it!!! No right now op get in your car and head to the nearest t-mobile store and grab this bad boy

The rest of the thread kinda caps the overall view of the phone and I'd be lieing to say anything other than perfection. Like mentioned a few times already its power and clarity is just amazing and it even makes you wonder if its even worth rooting from first impressions as this community has such an obvious influence over the systems functionality.
Multitasking is a breeze, it handles everything you throw at it and still offers more when you ask for it. Im glad I bought it as much as everyone else here does.

My previous phone was a Xperia Arc S, bought in GB 2.3. Sony update it to ICS, but the first update was a failure: far less memory available, many games stop working. 3 update later, it's better, but finaly i ended to put a custom rom, better than Sony one.
This is one reason why i don't buy another Sony phone. One other reason is there is no many differents models, that it make comparison between models too complicated.
Sony bootloader are locked, you can unlocked them to put different kernel, but you loose the warranty. It's not a big problems, you can always root and put new roms.
The build quality is good, except the paint: I bought a pink one, and paint around the corner fade in few months, showing white plastic behind.
It's still a good phone, I kept it as a backup one, in case of my Note II broke or is stolen. I put the Sony phone in plane mode, and in this mode, battery goes from 100% to 10% in 30days.
I'm always using Sony PC companion for sync between my Outlook account and phone. Kies sync directly the phone, without update you Google account. PC companion update you google account only, and after that you can sync you phone or any device related to you account.

Guys thank you so much !
You all help me a lot ! Love xda.

GNex still good?

I'm thinking of buying this phone, but looking that it's been almost 2 years, or has it already? I'm worried that buying this would be a mistake and I end up regretting. I want your opinions, I'm not willing to spend a lot on phones (my conscience says no).
I don't play much games, I'd just like to have smooth apps and browsing especially.

buy the nexus 4 instead, gnex is still good but its getting old, 4.3 could be its last update

For me it's just fine. It runs quite smoothly (much better on 4.1.2 though) and it's display is good (although, they seem to vary). If you're upgrading from a budget phone or an old single core snapdragon or something you'll be happy. If you expect it to run with the latest and greatest, though, you won't be happy.

Google is pushing to make Android less resource-intensive so that it can push some low cost handsets into developing regions. This involves much more than a smaller memory footprint. Expect an ultra-low cost Nexus handset on the horizon, along with the usual higher-end Nexus models.
It plays right into the hot air balloon project.
Apples sees it coming too, with their planned iPhone lite.

I'd recommend you look elsewhere really. The gnex isn't a bad phone, its just that for a similar price you can get a better experience.
A nexus 4 would be better if bought out right. The gnex has pretty poor battery life and the camera is fuzzy
On top of that, its almost 2 years old. Google will drop this device first out of the nexus line due to the specs alone (whenever that may be).

In my opinion multitasking is good. Battery life with stock battery is quite bad. But that's of course different to how you use your phone.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Battery life is one thing that I have trouble with on this phone. There are ROM and kernel combos that can improve it for sure. Usually with light to moderate use I cam get through a day, but I just carry a spare battery around usually just in case. Multitasking usually works fine, but every now and again if I have some memory intensive things going like games it can slow down the multitasking some. In my opinion if it is cheap enough this phone is great. I still feel it is one of if not the best looking phones still out. The buttonless smooth look just works. I have had mine a year and I got it instead of waiting for the GS3 so I could keep unlimited data and I have not regretted it at all.

Battery life is great for me after using custom ROM and kernel. Franco. Its a good phone if you can get a deal for it, otherwise n4 is much improved,

Multitasking is fine. Works really well on 4.1.2.
Battery life greatly depends on GSM or CDMA. If GSM, with moderate usage it will last you the full day. I used mine lightly yesterday and I didn't bother charging it last night. Sitting at 68% left.
If it's LTE CDMA probably a good idea to get a spare battery..
