[Q] Megaman Legends 2?

How does it play on the Xperia Play? I am getting so tempted to by this device along with the Mugen 3600mah battery and 64 GB micro sd. Anybody else have this set up with extended battery and sd? How it is for daily use also hows the battery life? Hows netflix on it?

Battery life on the Xperia Play is not good. You can get a day of use with moderate usage. It drains a lot when using wifi and playing games.
When you play HD games like GTA 3, Shadowgun then your battery is gonna drain like hell !
I was expecting better.

Lol? I optimized my device so much that the stock battery lasts like three days. The battery life on this thing is amazing, just use it wisely and optimize stuff.

What do you mean by ' optimize ' and how long do you charge your phone for ?
And do you play games on it and use wifi heavily ?

I have wifi constantly on but use the the general mode on both juice defender and easy battery saver and don't even get a days usage really (although I did just reinstall easy battery saver today). I haven't even played on any games. That's quite bad I think so what could I do to improve this? Not rooted

Nothing too serious, i'm quite a noob at this stuff (first android device). I just rooted, cleaned the bloatware, frozen other stuff like the stock launcher, installed a very light launcher, disabled the boot animation (boots so much faster), did the adb setinstalllocation 2 trick, and a couple of other things. I mean, i always have low brightness and i only have wifi on when i need it, but i do play games. Of course the three days mark is only achieved when i don't play, but it definitely got even more awesome than out of the box (even there, it rocked, at least for me).

Anyone know if Ice Cream Sandwich update will improve battery life ?

I actually run the exact same stuff you wish to purchase, and i can kill the phone in 1 day if i play castlevania, symphony of night for about 11 hours straight, other than that for an average day of minimal use, maybe a half hour web browsing or so its drains about 6-7% in the approx 10 hours off the charger.
this is overclocked to 1.5ghz with a slight undervolt. the 64gb microsd works fine, i have aroundabout 10gb left free on it, as does the majority of psx emulation using fpse, n64 is a bit more spotty, everything older runs 100% perfect.
i cant comment on netflix because it isnt available where i live.

Confused...The title of thread is mega man legends 2.....so where is this game available for Xperia play? Is it on an emulator or gameloft?
Ios suckkss.

I just finished playing Asphalt 6 HD for 15 mins and I lost 16% !
So if was to play for an hour my phone would shut down right?
How about that right? How can this happen?
Why me?

Thanks are you running on the 3600mah battery?
And its a psx game ran off the emulator to the guy asking.
Also is there a compatibility list on this forum for PSX and N64 games?
I've searched and haven't seen one.

Most users who are saying that are saying that their battery lasts for 2 days or more are those who leave their xperia play on standby most of the time. Only use it a little bit here and there and a bit of gaming. Or are using a 3600mah battery.
In no way can you get 2 days of gaming full whack usage from the stock battery.

Played 9mm HD on stock GB 2.3.4 no overclock,oem stock battery
with 100% brightness,Wifi On,Multiplayer online,no data (airplane mode)
after 3- 4 hours of non stop playing,then it's shut off.

Your rooted that's why. I'm not.
You have deleted all that bloatware and stopped excess processes from running.

no,i didn't use anything to improve my battery life.
seriously,the battery are good to me,compare with my previous galaxy s2,xplay will give you aproximately around 30 min -1 hour more life.
i saw your post about battery life in another thread,but i forgot which is was.
seriously,maybe there is something wrong with your device/battery.
xplay does really have good battery life,at least for me.

Average battery life for gaming?

I'm just wondering if anyone else uses their Nexus for gaming, and what kind of life they're getting.
I'm using Android Revolution with the franco kernel. I was playing Majesty (hardly an intensive game) and in 15min it accounted for 17% of what drained the battery. I need to play a game more intensely to see what's normal, but that seems like a heavy drain.
Anyone have a heavy gaming night or two with the phone and know about how long the phone will last? I'm using the extended battery, but even then I'd wager you would see 1-2 hours of gaming at best, depending on what kind of game you're playing.
Looks like I'm still waiting on a phone with awesome battery life for gaming :/. My iPhone came close, but I would never trade this phone for my iPhone when it comes to the overall experience. Any tips for getting this thing to last longer, or is it what it is?

I would imagine battery life for gaming will be approximately half the screen time you get for normal usage. I usually get 4-5 hours screen time normal usage so if played wind up Knight or similar I would expect around 2 hours time. You can stretch it out more if you take breaks and let phone and battery cool down. The hotter your battery the more juice it leaks. Playing with a fan on will help a little also. Undervolting would help some in this situation. And I would imagine a game like ssolitaire you would only lose about 10-20% of your normal usage screen time. Playing with brightness down all the way will probably be the biggest help.

3 hours max I'd imagine, most likely less.

Damn. Thanks. Looks like I'll need a tablet for planes and other travel .

Yea, I wouldn't buy an android device if you wanted to just do some heavy gaming on it.
Vita would be best for real mobile gaming
But iOS would be the best if you wanted a smartphone/tablet for gaming

I get between around 2 - 3 when fully charged and gaming non-stop. A lot of that is screen drain, so if possible turn your brightness down really low. Also it helps if you turn your CPU down to only 1GHz or so. Performance is still fine there but it helps on battery. Be sure and undervolt as much as possible too.
And dont use Franco's 512MHz GPU kernel.
Personally, I use the Glados kernel and overclock the MPU to 112%. Set the minimum speed as 392MHz, and max speed of 1GHz. Undervolt the 392 step to 925mv, and underclock the 1GHz step to 1175mv. Set the GPU to 384MHz and undervolt that as well. Also undervolt the IVA. This will give you good performance because your memory and bus are overclocked to help feed the GPU better, so you dont need a huge core speed for the same performance. Also the big undervolting will help your battery a lot. This is one of the biggest reasons I like Glados, you can adjust voltage for anything and not just the CPU.
If you want an Android gaming device, look into the Transformer Prime and dock. You should be able to get around 6-7 hours of gaming life on that.

I see... I'm surprised the screen is that much of a power suck. Thanks for the heads up though. I'm pretty sure Franco's Milestone 2 Kernel doesn't overclock the GPU anymore. I might just switch anyways since Glados seems to be the better kernel based on what you've said. I'm just worried that messing with voltages will ruin my battery or the phone.
2-3h is about what I seem to get though, so I suppose this usage is normal. I wasn't expecting a gaming device so I'm not crushed. I was just hoping to see better performance gains during gaming with my extended battery. Ah well... As you've all said, I need a tablet if I want a portable gaming device. Don't really want a 3DS or Vita. I'd prefer a platform that does more than simply gaming. Still in love with this phone. It does everything I need. Just doesn't cover the rare bouts of excessive gaming I might take part in .

Have you considered an external battery pack. I have a 2800mah that charges slow and is mainly backup but I think the bigger ones like 5000mah and up can charge faster thus helping playing time. But yeah the vita and 3ds have about the same time off charger so gnex is a lot more versatile. Maybe an iPhone 5 or equivalent iPod might give you playing time you want with bigger screen.
---------++++---------
iPhone. helping computer illiteracy become popular since 2007.

When you put it that way... Yeah. Kind of sad that the more modern handhelds have similar screen time to a cellphone, and they do a hell of a lot less.
Ah well. We'll see what the future brings. My hope is that more phones would adopt a RAZR MAXX mentality, but who can say.

[Q]Best games for One X regarding battery drain

Soo, I only have one game currently in my One X which is Angry Birds Space but there is just a minor issue with that one..... It drains the battery at the rate of 1% per 1min. For me this seems pretty high.. With my iPad 2 I can play Angry Birds 30min and only lose 3-4% battery, yes it has bigger battery but still.
One X is my first proper fast phone so I really don't have anything to compare it with but it just does not seem right. Is Angry Birds Space somehow using more resources than it should or is the drivers for Tegra just so messed up that it uses all CPU even when not needed?
To the topic then.. Can you guys recommend some games that do not drain battery like hell? Or is it like this with every game?

Yes, HOX CPU consumes alot of power, but i only notice that when running Tegra HD games. Tried Andry bird space one, didn't like it seems like its not optimised for larger screens.
Games i currently have on my phone, Temple Run, Soulcraft THD, Dungeon Defenders: Second Wave. Had others, but can't remember...
I'm running on GSM version with Quad Core, it does drain quicker with Tegra games. I find that turning off auto brightness, and setting screen brightness to the lowest comfortable setting for you game does make the battery last slightly more...

I been playing dude perfect.
It's like angry birds but its basketball related. Shooting hoops with rebounds etc.
I played a good 3 hours and 20 mins before I got the 14% battery warning.

you battery was full? -.-

I drained the battery to 5% in 2 hours of playing Defense Zone HD. And yes the phone was almost at 100% before I started playing. So if you are outside and about to play few hours on your One X, better carry a portable charger with you...
Except the game I have Wifi on around the clock and auto brightness of the screen.

battery question

I dont know if its phone battery thats up or has bad battery life.Ive noticed my battery runs out rather quickly for example i played subway surfer for like 10 minutes i look my battery life & it has dropped 20% from 80% so i was at 60% it my battery faulty or is it normal.Also any suggestions on other batteries that have better battery that work on this phone.

Just my 2 cents dude,
but battery life drove me crazy with this phone. I wound up rooting my phone, installing a bunch of different Roms, and going through tons of programs. Bottom line that I've come up with is this, you have to root your phone. If you don't want to install Roms thats fine, but there are some that I have had great battery life with, namely Jedi MInd Trick and Rushing's Galaxy_ROM (currently using). Get yourself a CPU program and underclock the hell out of your CPU. I use CPU tuner with the uniform profile and max out the cpu around 1 ghz, the phone runs fine with it too. Finish off with Llama and you should be good to go.
Make sure data, wifi and most other crap go off when your screen does. Also make sure the cpu is almost off when the screen is. I have mine set to around 500 mhz .
It kind of sucks to have to do it, but it makes this phone much more tolerable.
Hope this helps

[Q] Games drain battery almost 40% an hour?

I got the LG G4 last week and every time I game on the phone, it uses 38% of my battery or so per hour. Is this normal? Nothing else uses much battery, the gaming optimizer is on and I've disabled extra apps I don't need.
I also notice my phone gets too hot to touch sometimes when playing a game.
At this rate I only get a little over 2 hours of use on a fully charged phone, which is crazy.
I have the Tmobile version, if that matters.
Does this happen to anyone else? My Samsung S4 and Xperia Z3 Compact had MUCH better gaming time than my G4. Maybe I have a dud?

Sounds about right if its an intense game. It has to push 2k pixels, where as the s4 and z3 has much fewer. I kept having weird glitches with the game optimizer on playing final fantasy record keeper, so I turned it off and things worked fine. For that game it was probably closer to 30% an hour for me. I also have my brightness 35% or less too. Try turning off the game optimizer and see what happens. What is your brightness?

Is there any way to lower the pixel density so it doesn't have to push such high quality graphics? Another person said they thought the g4 is a terrible option for gaming because it has a bad GPU and that might be why it gets hot as well. I tend to play games on my phone alot when I'm waiting for something or bored so losing 38% battery an hour makes the phone a terrible fit for me. I have 14 days to return it, so I'm thinking about getting a phone like the s5 or something.
I'll try turning the optimizer off and see if that changes anything. My brightness depends on where I am but at home i keep it at about 30%.

Lower the graphics quality in the game and turn down the brightness, you can't do much more.
And 40% sounds completely reasonable.

This is what I noticed playing Juice Jam. It drains fast with auto brightness (50%). I'll try disabling game optimizer and see if it does anything.

Not much you can do except fiddle with the brightness.
And you're correct with the G4 not being a good gaming device. The GPU isn't exactly the greatest but still formidable. But with that 1440p screen, you can't expect magic. I would only do minor casual gaming on this thing (ie. Checking up on village in COC sort of thing with a few raids), nothing intense. Otherwise you would need a different phone. The Sony Xperia (Z3 I think?) are good for gaming with their insane battery life. S6 would be your next best bet.

Jumped here only to mention the Z3 battery life ... It is worth every penny when it comes to screen on time. By the end of the day it hits 5~6 hours of sot mainly gaming where as the g4 hardly gets 3~4 hours of moderate use.
Currently own both the Z3 and the G4 and both in dual SIM versions too

Yes, you can lower the pixel density. That will probably cause some UI inconsistencies throughout the phone, but most things should work, but from seeing it on the Note 4, a lot of things won't as well.
I'd say, don't fret. You're getting 2 hours of playing games on your phone... If you picked the G4 for THAT reason, return it. Surely there are better phones, as mentioned, the Z3 has great battery life - probably the best for a phone its size. There's also the OPO and the Zen Mate 7. All have GREAT battery life, but of course, lack in other features.
Would I have preferred a 1080p screen? Yes! Why do I need a higher quality screen in my phone than in my living room? Lol. Is there anything I can do about this now that we already have this 2k screen frenzy? Nope. Even the next Sony device us rumored to jump onto its bandwagon as well...
