This is a longer post so please bear with me. I have an R800i, never been rooted, stock Android 2.3.4. Recently I've decided to do a factory reset (erase all data), just to clean up the phone a bit and get some more RAM space.
After the reset I'm re-downloading some of the games I have bought on Google Play. There are no problems EXCEPT for these two games:
Galaxy on Fire 2 and Lara Croft: Guardian of Light.
I can download the basic "apk" from the Google Play correctly, but once I start the games they need to download additional data, and that's when problems arise. What happens is this:
Galaxy on Fire 2 Xperia Play edition: It asks to download a 400MB file, I click OK then nothing happens, then an error message: "Are you sure you want to quit? Error: java.io.IOEXCEPTION: Unexpected Http status code 404 expected 200".
Lara Croft: Guardian of Light: It downloads a bit of data, than wants me to tap display to confirm, I tap and then an error message: "Error (Marmalade v5.2.3 [306653]) Cannot open file console.bin for serialising (read). Did you include this file in your mkb's "assets" block?"
This happens all the time, I've tried countless times. On different wifi hotspots too.
I have NEVER EVER before experienced these error messages. The two games are now impossible to download because of this. It happens on wifi and 3g, the same situation. I have since re-done the factory reset twice (I once reinstalled Android using the Sony Companion software on my PC) and the problem persists. Does anyone have any idea what could be the cause?
Could this mean the games are no longer available to download, even though I've paid for them?
Should I contact the devs regarding this?
I must stress again, I have never even attempted to root my phone.
I would greatly appreciate any advice.
You should try contacting the developers since it seems like an error on server side (404 means not found, so yeah...), and if they cannot help you, then you should manually download data from internet (it's not illegal if you paid those apps).

I'm starting to think I will never be able to play these two games again on my Xperia Play.
It's strange, because every other game in my Google Play library works.
Not that it matters but I have contacted both developers. No response from Fishlabs yet, they only registered my question.
Square Enix Europe (Lara Croft game), on the other hand, sent me a response which says: "We would recommend you upgraded your OS for the latest Android OS available and start downloading the game again.". LOL they apparently have no clue that I CANNOT upgrade my XP to a higher version of Android and this is the best they can get.

about my GS2
1. A couple of days ago it felt real hot in my pocket. Is that normal to heat
up occasionally??
2. I have gotten about 3 times the past 4 days an error message "Google services have stopped" like I got when I installed a rom on mt4g and I needed GAPPS. I don't know what I had to reinstall but what does my air mean is it important. My phone is not rooted
3. Lastly, is there a different fix for 'event log services' not working when u get an error installing Google music on puter to send music to phone. I saw the error all over internet. But some said only solution is factory reinstall of windows.
Any help, no matter how big or small, is greatly appreciated
I am worried about the phone with that one message
1 my phone doesnt heat up and im using a oc kernel oc'ed
3 did u try to install google music on more then 8 machines or try to reinstall it more then 8 times if so just go to google music on pc and deregister a few names. or clear data from google music on phone
Thank you very much
1. It has only heated up once m2.aybe if it happens 1 or 2 more times I should be concerned. I do use it on a very high basis even as my computer most of the time
2. Any help from anyone would be greatly appreciated
3. No but thank you. I only tried to add it on to my computer, one computer. I use that link on the computer how to add google music through some secure browser that the government uses. It may have been by engadget or some other reputable company. The app is on my phone just fine
Thanks again. I gAve u kudos. ;-)
Recently my wife purchased this inexpensive basic tablet which comes rooted out of the box, with ICS 4.0.3...pretty good overall.
One caveat is it does not come with gapps installed; no Market/Play Store, no gmail, nothing. Amazon Market, GetJar and one other lesser known alternative market instead. So my goal is to get the Market onto the tablet...
Having searched here at XDA I found this thread:
http://http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1621831
Using the method outlined above, I actually had the Market working fine for about 20 minutes, downloaded/updated a few apps, then started getting a "Cannot download due to an error" message on anything I tried to do. I have cleared Market data/cache, selected/re-selected my Google account within the Market settings, tried updating Maps, stood on my head and clucked like a chicken, basically anything I could find here or on the interwebs regarding this problem (its surprisingly common...just Google the "Cannot download due to an error" message). Anyway, no luck.
I went so far as to factory-reset the tab and start over; it didn't delete the Market app actually, and it did work again...for about 20 minutes.
My theory here is that the Market version I am installing via the thread above WORKS, but Google will go ahead and update it OTA within minutes and THAT new version, for whatever reason, does NOT work for me. Or, something is going horribly awry during said update.
I'm posting here in a general forum hoping to get some attention from experienced users who might have run into this issue before (again its widespread across many devices) and might have an idea on what else I can try to get this thing back on its feet.
If more info is needed, please let me know.
Thanks

This is by far my favorite game, I came from a S3, which the game worked fine. I am able to download the game, but when it launches it requires another file, this is where the problem is, it attempts to load, then after a few seconds, download error 101. Not much can be found on google, other then other people with the issue, but no fixes that I could find.
Any help would be great, I did try to change the DPI in the build.prop to 360, that did not help, so I went back to the stock 640.
Thanks,
Eric
Same issue here on a 3f connection. I haven't tried on wifi though.
I have tried wifi, 3g and 4g LTE, all same result. I clear the data, it goes to the download screen again, then same error.
Same issue on wifi. Maybe the servers are down?
---------- Post added at 06:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:10 PM ----------
OK the servers aren't down. I just downloaded the game on my Note pro 12.2. So it's something else.
I don't have the game. But I did find this thread. There are few suggestions that may be fruitful for you: Possible help
My other suggestion, if you have another Android device, I would install the game on it, and create a backup of it; there are several apps you can download to do this. Once you have the backup, you can side load the app. It should be noted that once the app is installed, there isn't another download that must be done with you initially start the application such with the GTA games. I had to do this with GTAVC on the Note II.

Thanks for the link but our issue is when we run the game and the game tries to download it's game files. I think it tires to connect to the ea servers to download. I could be wrong.
If you do Google search there are more people with this issue but on different devices.
Yeah I'm getting this too, and and error with dead space. Dead space doesn't even come up in the play store. Like why block the most powerful flagship phone?

I wonder if it's having an issue verifying you actually purchased the game. I know GTASA does a purchase check before letting one download the addition game files. I tried to play that game without purchasing and it got an error; not that error you got, but about being unable to verify purchase.
That's really odd about Dead Space. I think I had the same issue on the Note II. I don't recall if I tried side loading it.
I don't know what it is. Won't download on my tablet but would on my phone. Wifi connection on both

There is an update for nba jam for the note 4. I downloaded it and it is now letting me download the the extra data.
wouldn't do gthe additional download. Did the update, and no more error and downloaded the additions files. Appears to be working. I didn't try playing, but the game did load.
I updated in the last couple of days and at first it asked me to download additional data, and as my internet is down at home for the moment I opted out.
Today when I used and open Wifi to download the data, I get the error 1010...
I'm on a Nexus 5 though, but I couldn't find a specific thread for this for my own phone.
Works 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.
I just got a new xperia play from hong kong. Its a R800A and its connected to koodo. The only issue is the fact that I can go on the browser but almost every site is blocked/cannot be connected. This is the same situation with every other internet app especially the preinstalled ones like Market. No matter what I do it says something like "Cannot Connect to Servers, Please try again later" It has me so upset and no matter where I go on the internet there is not a single person who can help so I'm making this report and hoping someone can help me.
To speed things up I live in Canada and I can call and text without issue. But when I go to the internet I can't do anything.
Thank you for reading if you have any information on what i can do or what will help please reply and help me
I just bought a used R800X and was wondering the same thing - Wifi doesn't work anywhere except for the stock browser. After some searching apparently Google Play Services support for Android versions under 4.0 was killed off earlier this year.
So if your Xplay is still on 2.3, you won't be able to use the Market or pretty much any app that uses Google Services. You can still sideload apps that you've backed up with Titanium on another device or just install some APKs from the net. If you really can't live without Google Services look into getting a custom ROM based on 4.0+.
My R800X has some dumb issues in regards to the bootloader so ROMs are pretty much out of the question for me, but I was still able to get it rooted and install a bunch of emulators. Hopefully you have better luck. Cheers mate!

Thank you! thankfully I'm bit of a nerd so I went online and force updated the app store to the latest version and now I can get basic apps. Down side is that it keeps breaking and crashing every few minutes so I'm going to uninstall most of the unnecessary apps and see if that will help fix most of the issues with crashing. Also the fact that most of them are always running in the background doesn't help xD.
I also have planes to overclock using my sd card. like take some of the memory to boost my phones power
I had a bit of the same but I managed to get it rooted and my bootloader is unlocked. Thing is most links (like it has been said) has been killed off. But I need a custom rom for the phone...it’s getting me really mad. Suggestions? Help? Please?
For custom ROMs, it's gonna be a crapshoot going through all of the threads and looking for links that are still hosted online somewhere. /u/ TheNameBrand had some success with installing CM9 recently, but ran into wifi issues or something. Here's the link if you're still interested: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024782
If you end up sticking with stock and don't have the Market/Play Store running, you can download the latest 2.3 compatible version of the Play Store here: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...-2-02-release/
