So My XPlay Just Broke and I liked it quite a bit But HATED ITS Crap Specs (which were tolerable due to custom kernels and whatnot)... Now i can get a new phone my budget for a new phone is around £180 and a new play is £149.99 sim unlocked and i am considering it but should i get it over a faster dual core phone like the htc one x which i can get for £180,what do you guys recommend?i mostly use my phone for texting, music,internet,some gaming,and a lot of customizing , flashing roms etc.Any suggestions for a different phone? Try and keep it unbiased let me know thanks.
As to whether or not you should buy another xplay, you're really the only one who can answer that question. For me, if I could only have one phone, it certainly wouldn't be the play. It's just too old, and missing way too many features.
There's going to be others posting in this thread that will evangelize the play, and tell you that it's the best phone ever. I would shop around for a modern used phone if I were you. Something that has a dual or quad core cpu, factory jelly bean, 1 or 2 gigabytes of ram, and a hd screen is an awesome thing to behold.
Good luck with you decision dude!
When it comes to Gaming, nothing is better than having what the Xperia Play has in terms of controls. But you are right in saying it is outdated.
As your budget is somewhat low, I would buy a new Play. Simply because the performance increase wouldn't be worth the lack of the Xperia Play controls.
If however, you can save up an extra £60 - I highly recommend you getting the Nexus 4 from google. https://play.google.com/store/devices/details?id=nexus_4_8gb&feature=microsite&hl=en
Its specification is out of this world for its price. And with modding custom ROMs/Kernels it is easily the best performer out there to date. I had the luxury of using one for about a month and got it to score an amazing 23500 on Antutu. Unfortunately it wasn't mine though and I was only rooting it/unlocking it for someone.
Thanks for the replies. Well I've made my mind up to get a HTC one x which I can get for £180 but ill keep my play around as only its screen is broken and I could repair it myself.Plays a good device and has a great development community and all but it just isn't my type of Phone.
I'm Going to keep watching this thread for more opinions and also like "Visa Declined" said there's going to be a lot of fan boys defending the play like crazy which I find kind of funny

I have a xplay and the only reason I can tolerate it is because of all the great devs. But I would replace it with a newer phone if I could. I do like the game pads but I don't game enough for them to really matter. I would go with the HTC one x or nexus 4 like someone else recommended.

im getting it from a friend not to sure about the official price though
for gaming is important to me. as long i have 4g, a fairly quick phone, and tethering option for my laptop and i my phone can still do most of the apps that i want avail, i'm good with my play.
a new play would be cool. my wife has a samsung s3 and while it looks great and all, having no playstation controls sucks. get a new play if gaming is your thing.

I thought that must be the case, it is a good price for that phone!
buy a phone with better specs and then buy one of those attachable gamepads.
Are you willing to take a Second-Hand-Phone? Cause an Xperia T is usually only around the £150 mark or £180 if you get a Grade A

I partially agree with you, but just partially. That's correct that only he can answer himself. You are in xperia play board in which 90% people bought this phone for gaming. There's no other phone in which gaming is so nice in terms of controls and that's why our play is evangelised (controls). There is no game which our play can't run, so people (like me) don't want another phone.
Although the OP should ask himself, am I going to play a lot on my phone or just from time to time?
If you are going to play a lot - get yourself another xperia play.
If you are not going to play this much but only from time to time - get yourself one X, if you are able to get xperia z for this price I'd get xperia z.
Main reason that I haven't abandoned my phone is XDA. I'd get angry of how slow it is our that I can't get JB. But I'm not since this is not happening
Choice is yours, just ask yourself these two questions above, and you have made your decision.

It was been already discussed. There is almost no game which supports it, play - over 300. Try to put one of them in your pocket no-go. Also you'll talk about apps which are making these external gamepads usable, it's as usable as PSP android emulator.

First off, I am sorry for posting another one of these but I really could use some help in this.
I am/have been eligible for and upgrade for a long time. My carrier is Verizon and my current phone is the droid x. I was one of the first people to post in this form that I was getting my hands on this phone when it was released. Well due to a fluke on my upgrade date I was forced to wait. After time passed it seamed in my eyes that this phone wouldn't be much of an upgrade from my current phone so I halted on getting it. I am now itching at getting a new phone but don't want to blow my life savings. I have been really looking at getting the HTC rezound but with that tremendous price tag you can see why I have hesitated. My biggest concern is like I stated above, if Im getting a phone I want to UPGRADE not swap to a new yet similar phone. Smart phones have become laptops, if you don't buy above the curve your going to end with a sluggish piece of crap in the long run.
The things I really like about the rezound is the 1.5GHz dual core processor and the 4G. But now looking around I realized that even though the xperia play is a 1GHz single core it also has a GPU to boost its spec's. The BIGGEST perk to the xperia play for me is the controller. I love to game when nothings going on. I especially love gaming on emulators so I can play those classics like Pokeymon fire red . I recently have pulled out the old unused PSP Go and started Pokeymoning it up.
The main reason my attention has been brought back to the play is because of the LTE rumor. But Im still just hesitant so I thought some stories or opinions could help me decide. One thing I would like to add is I LOVE to mess with my electronics. Anything I can customize or change I will. Things like rooting and rom swapping I do all the time. So S-off or some kind of work around is a necessity. The rezound doesn't have S-off but it will and I know the r800x can now change roms but not kernels.
So here are my questions.
Is there any kind of group working to get S-off for one the 800x? I wasn't able to find anything when I did my digging around.
Would you consider the Xperia Play to be a good phone to UPGRADE to?
What are your experiences with the phone, like how does the screen look, battery life?
Should I wait to hear more on the Xperia Play LTE, or am I just going to hear nothing but rumors for another year like with the regular Xperia play's release date?
Anything will help good or bad, thanks!
You can unlockck the bootloader via a couple of members on xda. Its not free, I got mine unlocked (bootloader) before the service was a paid fee. I love emulators and have many on my phone. Nes, snes Genesis n64 neogeo cps1 cps2. This phone is awesome for emulators. If you love emus this is the phone. Rooting and unlocking is really easy. Trust me this phone may not boast top of the line specs, but I don't care. I love this phone.

Wow that was fast . Thanks man for the input.
If I did get the phone I would get the bootloader unlocked. I was REALLY angry to see that you had to pay to get the bootloader unlocked for the r800x. I then stopped and thought we have received a crap tone of stuff from the devs for free and some of that stuff took months to make. I don't mind coughing up a bit to get an unlocked bootloader. But I would hope the recipient of my money would release something else for free that would make paying for the unlock that much better. But hay to each there own.
Has anyone here gone through the pay process? It almost looked like the process was on hold when I checked into it.
One other thing, does the Xperia play have some sort of HDMI out? I looked really quick and it doesn't look like it but thought I would triple check.
Edit: One more thing. Has anyone taped into the built in PSX emulator? That was one of the coolest things I loved about all the PSP's, once CFW was installed !

The unlocked R800i models (Sim free) can get their boot loader unlocked from the official Sony ericsson bootloader website, and thats free, but the people who do the paid bootloader unlock either have R800x models or another model locked to a specific carrier, Either way they only make you pay because they need to buy credits or something for the program they use to unlock it... I don't know much about that process because I can unlock mine via the se official method.
I forgot one more thing. A couple weeks ago the sources for the R800x were released. This will definately give the devs a lot more to work with and make mods for this phone a lot easier as the information is out. Also don't quote me I think the bootloader unlock price is 25 dollars. Also for me the best emulator is the Tiger Arcade. Its not on the android market but it plays all the neogeo cps1 cps2 games flawlessly. And it even has network play so if you have a friend and they have the same apparently and game then you can play together. Had a friend over and we played Dungeons & Dragons Towers of Doom as a team. Man it was fun.

unless you can back this up with a source then its complete bollocks there has been no information regarding the an xperia play 2 to the best of my knowledge
infact SE said it sold badly so there less likely too really
The biggest reason I believe there is a bit of truth to this is because when the phone was getting approved by the fda or what ever its called. There was xperia play with 4g lte that was submitted for review. Otherwise im with Sniper in that all we have to go off is a crappy picture of a training form.

How does the display look? My friend has the T-Mobile myTouch 4G and I just love his screen. The colors are amazing. It makes my X's screen look like an old black and white TV.

Yeah but those wont work on Verizons CDMA network. A new rumored Xperia Play might be coming out soon that will work and be sold by Verizon.
So I'm moving to a new provider since Sprint doesn't have service in my area, and the Play has always interested me.
So my question would be, do the people here actually enjoy your devices, or are you just waiting until you are off contract or something similar so you can get away from the device?
90 views and not a single person thinks that it's worth picking one up to toy around with?
That's.... pretty sad for this little device. I appreciate the honest, if quiet, feedback. Cheers all!
Its pretty good I've been enjoying it had it since it was released haven't had any problems with it, it does have pretty weak internal storage tho but there are ways around that. It all just depends on how much gaming you want to do. And I think that sony has pretty much left this device in the dust so as long as your not one of those "I need ICS complainers" it'll be great!

I bought this on PAYG only a month back, and I'm still loving it!
I can't use another android now without it having a gamepad (as i do love gaming on it) mainly for emus.
I for one support this phone!
that's pretty much the perfect device. insane battery life, epic gaming, smooth performance, gorgeous design. i could talk about it for hours
Seeing at least a LITTLE passion is always a good thing. I may have to go through the deal I have in the woks. It was a toss-up between this and anything else I could find for under 150$. These seem to be one of the better GSM devices for that price.

hop on wireless.Amazon.com to find a good deal on (US) cellphones. If you buy the AT&T version, afaik there isn't a free bootloader unlock.

Hands down best gaming phone (especially with emulators) is the Xperia Play. If you leave it on a stock firmware, the Xperia Play optimized games (especially Dead Space & GTA 3) are phenomenal.

Hi,
If anyone is like me, buying one gadget isn't enough.
I want one of everything!!
And im pretty much there now, got my laptop, got my new big TV.
GOT MY BABEY HTC ONE X
My question is, I wan't a tab, NEVER EVER buying an iPad though, my question is.
If I bought a 7 inch tablet, would it be pointless as the HTC one X is pretty much 5 inch? Would I notice a difference between sizes of screen etc. As I'm looking at the Nexus 7 at the moment.
Or would HTC One x users say that getting a 10 inch tab, such as the Galaxy Tab is a better IdeA?
Because I don't want to buy a 7 inch tablet, and be let down as it isn't big enough.
Thanks in advanced.

Listen, I was asking a question alright, don't want to answer the question then piss off.
XDA is being ruined by twats like this.
Just piss off you stupid twat..! If you've got nothing useful to say then just go play with yourself.. And leave the helpful people alone...! Grrrrrrr!
I agree with you there mate..!
To answer your question, I've got a one X, a nexus 7 and a Motorola zoom (10") and each size does look very different.. I read a lot on both my phone and the nexus and I find the nexus easier to read over long periods of time, not to mention the fantastic battery life on the N 7 compared to the one X also great for traveling with.. The 2 together are really good as you just use the one X as a hot spot and surf using the N7! Hope this helps?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Finally a useful reply. Thanks very much mate.
Just one question, does the N7 screen look lots bigger than the HOX, or would you say get a 10 inch tab?
Cuz I want something that I'm going to use, instead of resorting to my PC all the time.
I want something that I can sit in bed with, and not think "Jeez, this would be easier on a PC".
Basically, can you tell the N7 is much bigger than the HOX, or is a 10 Inch tab the way to go if looking for a bigger screen. (This doesn't make sense I now, but hopefully you can figure out what I mean)

I agree, he's dumb and hasn't now got the balls to reply to defend himself.
He's obviously still a child. (If not literally then mentally).
I think the ASUS Transformer Pad is way out of my budget. £200 tops is really what I can spend.
I'm gonna look round town to see if theres a N7 I can have a look at, because I'm not gonna purchase a tab if the screen size isnt a big enough difference.
Thanks for your replies guys !
Morning,
I'm pretty much the same as okuda1971. I have the HOX, an N7 and a Prime.
The overall screen real estate you get on the N7 is almost double the HOX and is great as an all rounder. I do tend to keep the N7 and the HOX together to use the HOX as a hotspot when I'm away from home/work.
The N7 is big enough for me to use at work as well as at home, even in bed.
The other half has a Vega (Nearly 10") and more often than not ends up borrowing the N7 for bed time browsing.
The simple answer from me is to find an N7 to play with if you're not sure and compare it to your HOX. Even better would be to find a store where you can line up your HOX with an N7 and the 10" tab of your liking.
If you're still not sure then just buy a 7" and a 10" :laugh:

Yup, am going to find a N7 and compare it with, thankyou very much you guys great info.
What sort of stores will have an N7?
If you're in the UK then try PC World, Currys or (Oddly enough) HMV.
When I was searching for mine, HMV were the only place with any stock left.
The guys in my local Currys (Kettering if you are near enough) were only to happy to let me play with one in store. Before telling me that they were out of stock.
One thing I would advise though, as some people seem to have had issues, is to ask them to bring out a couple before you buy. Just to make sure there are no issues.
If you aren't sure of what issues there might be, then there are plenty of posts detailing the possibilities, though overall the percentage of units with issues is seemingly quite low. Going by Google and Asus' figures.
Currys had one on display not long ago but don't no about your area
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Thanks people, deffo going to have a look around for a N7 on display.
I'm not buying one from store though, I will purchase straight from Google I think.
I just want to personally see one for myself before taking the plunge.
I've heard nothing but good about the N7, and if anything I'm buying it just for JB !
PS RUN OUT OF THANKS PEOPLE !
Personally, I've had no trouble at all with my N7.
It's a great device and JB just puts it above the competition. My poor Prime hasn't seen too much use since the N7 came home except to check for a JB OTA
Google Now is quite effective if not a little freaky in that it learns where you work and live. Mine now shows me the traffic and route to my office about 20 minutes before I usually leave. Google now knows all...
Wow, now your all making me want a N7!!!
Glad we could help
The worst part is when you have been playing with one in store and have gone from the "want" stage to the "need" stage only to be told that they don't have any in stock. At any branch of Currys or PC World in the UK .
It's like an implosion of disappointment.
Yes, but now I am prepared for that! So when I see it, and fall in Love, I know that I will have to wait.
But hey, thats what woman do? Play hard to get so that when you do get it you love it even more?
Same with tablets I guess
Interesting analogy.
As long as you can handle waiting for delivery and don't do what I did. You get funny looks sitting in a Currys car park searching Google for places nearby that might have them in.
In the end I used up quite a bit of fuel and had to send the missus to the HMV in Northampton (with my debit card) while I was at work.
In case you're concerned, I don't have that much of a problem. I was going on holiday the next day and wanted one for films on the plane.

I went to the store, I saw the one S, I was about to take it but turns out it only has 16GB and not SD slot so no go for ONE S.
I saw the ONE V, its nice and small, with SD card but cpu is 1 core only.
anyway, there wasn't much of a choice, xperia models are all old, no xperia T , thats it I couldn't find any other phone beside the iphone 5 crap =))
so i got the one V but I didn't un box it yet so I may return it if I found a better phone soon.
thanks guys for your help

AGREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE:good::good::good::good:
I tried the Note 2 and don't really like it. Everything about the phone is good but its size and build. I like the speed and special features together with huge battery; however, the size is way too big for me to handle. Sometime it becomes inconvenience for me. I decided to stay with my HOX International

I thought it was some sort of Paintballing Company or something, sorry im a 90s kid
Common haha! S3 is awesome. I sent my S3 to repair some stuff (read this: ClickMe LOL)
Then i bought a HOX, i really enjoyed the phone but htc made some limitations, that's why I preffer S3. Its a plastic made phone but its very resistent, I love to flash roms but unfortunatly I got a S-ON device.
This year I bought 5 phones: iPhone 4S, Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy Note 1rst gen, Galaxy S3 and now HOX.
About iPhone 4S:
It's a very nice phone but I have always had apple devices, all iphones and i wanted to try something new.
About Galaxy Nexus:
I don't know if it's only in Brazil, but i got an international one, and there was no Gorila Glass o.0. Camera is really bad. At least nexus is on top to receive new updates.
About Galaxy Note:
It's a HUGE phone lol. Now I started to think i'm unlucky lol. Most of G.Note came with a Bug that you can't do a full wipe coz it erases the efs partition and you turn your device into a brick.
About Galaxy S3:
One world? GOD.
It's the best phone I've ever had. It's fast, beautiful, awesome camera quality. It's "wow". You can be sure it will receive many updates since the "S" line is very famous. You can say it's "cheap plastic" but why do u want more? Are you going to play tennis with your phone?? LOL
About HOX:
Loved HTC sense. Too bad i got a S-ON device and _044 cid. I'm a "rom-flashing" fanatic. I love to try as many roms as i can in a day lol, with this limitation by htc forces me to use S3 as main. Battery also SUCKS BY ALOT.But i'm gettin HOX+ as soon as its avaliable.Too bad I live in brazil and need to buy this phone in Paraguai lol its gonna take 10000000 years.
Sorry for my english typos lol
Hope this help you

Agreed.. ps. Only thing i don't like about Note 2 is the battery, thing doesn't die even how hard i try! 9hrs screen on time with WiFi on, all the syncs on and heavy use browsing xda and internet. How you can Kill the battery in 1 day? Impossible.

Okay so pretty much, my parents bought me a HTC Explorer awhile back' about 15 weeks ago. Its a pretty useless phone, specs aren't that great ( I'm a tech savvy guy). I have the money to buy the Xperia Play.... Although their excuse to not let me buy one is, the Sim is locked to my HTC Explorer, they never let me get to the part that I want to use it as a Wi-Fi only phone (until my plan on the htc runs out), like a mini-tablet to use when I'm in the shops etc.
Anyone have other points I could bring them up on besides specs etc
:crying:
If you're tech savvy, then you know specs aren't a selling point for this phone.

But then again... if he's tech savvy, he'd also be very aware that Xperia Play's specs haven't particularly been holding it back as much as one would think... and coming from an HTC Explorer, he'd be taking a massive step up.
If you're willing to present a case where you'd use something like textfree for phone calls/texting, you could actually drastically decrease your phone bill at the sacrifice of being a wifi-only communicator. You'd be restricted to communicating only via WiFi, but your parents would go gaga the moment you noted how much money would be saved.

Alright I'll try to tell them this, thanks for the help so far
You know the only hope left for this phone would be Custom ROMS right? We're likely never going to get another update.

Yes, but I have no problem unlocking the boot loader, or over clocking. This phone also seems to be getting support from various game companies like GameLoft. And I hate touch screen controls!
If you intend to use it as VOIP only and don't need active data plan, then the R800x is a great choice. It's only going for $80 refurb on ebay. You can install the NXT Lite rom which is quite fast, but really the R800x use stock android which is also fast. It can unlock the bootloader from Sony website as well, inlike my R800at which can't.
Tell them you want to use it as a gaming device, show them pictures of it running some games. Then when your contract or whatever is up activate it.

also does r800a work with3g in Australia like Telstra or optus, for when my contract with my HTC runs out.
r800a works on Telstra, you need r800i for Optus. the verizon one wont work at all.
