[Q] Still a worthwhile phone??? - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I haven't had one in a few years (2012) because I wanted the Droid RAZR HD and am now thinking of getting it because I'm now getting into emulation and would want to know to get this or a PSP go... I already have a Moto G as a phone and I just want to press buttons to play a GBA game! Just want to know which one's better!

Both are great in seperate respects. Dual analog is awesome on the play

Is it worth upgrading to the Samsung Galaxy SIII?

I currently own the Xperia Play and was just wondering if it's worth upgrading to the Samsung Galaxy S3?
Personally I'm getting quite tired of the thickness of the phone itself as I barely use the gamepad feature anyway. I am also a little bit reluctant being attached to a 2 year contract.
Any ideas?
BTW... Please do not mention Iphone 5... imo it really sucks!

I have both the Xperia Play & Galaxy S III (international version). I would say that if you want an awesome phone GET IT. I really don't like the Xperia Play myself too. Too thick & etc.
I'd get an HTC phone way before a Samsung. Also HTC will be PlayStation certified.

Gamer = xperia play
Others = SG3
So get S3 too
Click thanks if i helped!

I would never buy the S3 for a few reasons.
1: The Super AMOLED screen has a pentile subpixel matrix, which makes it more green than any other color
2: The build quality is cheap
3: The Super AMOLED screen creates a burn-in on the notification bar
4: The LEDs on the screen wear out much more quickly than a normal LCD display
So I say no, but w/e
Great, if u dont love games.
Other than that, You should get it!!!

Thats a great combo for home use but not on the go. There is no stand on the Nyko controlller to hold the Android device in place. Which means you can only play your Android device on a flat surface. No thanks but I am waiting for the Xperia Play 2.
I have the same setup with my one x

Am I Right..? [Games]

Unfortunately, I'm a bit confused with the existing games for android..
We have HD Open World Games, like GTA 3 and Vice City,..
Good shooter, like Critical Strike, Gamelofts upcoming Blitz Brigade, Shadowgun, Modern Combat,..
Farmville stuff,.. Point & Click Games,.. HD Car Racing Games,..
HD (Console) Games like Dead Space,..
Hell, we even have Minecraft...
But, why are there no Old school Jump & Run games..?
Like Rayman (No Runner Games..) Jak & Daxter, Ratchet & Clank..
I even haven't heard of any news that they're coming..
The point of this thread, is to collect (and discuss) information about developers that are working or planning to work on J&R Games...
If there's a thread like this, please show me the way, since I haven't found a thread, especially for a good gaming device like the Nexus 7..
We have like everything that is possible, even HE Open World games so I'm wondering what's up with some nice Jump & Run games..

Sonic 4? There is even a THD version.
+ Cordy and Killer Bean Unleashed just popped into my mind. Personally I don't like any of them too much, without controller it's just annoying for me to fail because of the touch controls.
AW: Am I Right..? [Games]
I know these games, and some of them are quite good, but they're side scrolled games.. I thought more of J&R games with an 3D environment.. I feel like no one is interested in these kind of games ^^'

I think more than Jak & Daxter for the ps2, or Ratchet and Clank, an "open world" game, which is based on jump & run, I can't give another example since there's nothing for android :/
Just imagine GTA, with cartoony graphics and more jumping and climbing than shooting

There's "run" added in the name, so I thought its just another of these running games, which kinda annoy me because there's like 10.000 of these games.. I'm going to check it out!

Which is weird, since fps games are harder to play with touch controls and j&r games, I can imagine, would be awesome to play with touch controls, beside the fun they give while playing

i tried lowering the graphics in settings for the game but no help.
any comment would be appreciated :good:
I have seen that this only happens when the game has been pirated, so if you have, buy it.

Not true as I purchased it and still have the same issues.

I as well have purchased the app. I purchased it for My Droid Razr and HTC EVO 3D, it runs great on those devices, but not my Acer Iconia a100 which runs a Tegra 2 chipset.

I have zero issues running it on my Nex7 and CM10.1 nightlies. Play with my wireless ps3 controller and sixaxis app. Love how close it is to the Xbox version.

Next phone.

Hi guys,
I would like to know which phone you guys are thinking to move to after using Defy.

Interested in This too
I want a phone that is similar to the defy in physical shape and durability, but with more power and mininimum jb as stock.
Have been loooking a bit on the xperia z, but it is not very rugged and rather big . and Ideally i want to wait until BT low energy Api becomes part of android.
i would disqualify Motorola for the way they broke ics upgrade promisises.. but i cant overlook just how much beating my defy have faced without a scratch... so if they are the only maker of a phone with those traits.....
Well for now i am running quarkx 4.1.2 and it is good enough for me.
Patience....

I'm not sure if we get an option to buy the Motorola phones here in India, anybody who can throw some light on this is appreciated. I have a DEFY not planning to sell.
PS: Whenever I go to these stores here in India, the seller Moto models are not available & they don't stock it. I'm aware of Motorola closing doors here, but any other ways to buy?
As I generally avoid buying Samsung products, the only two phones that I consider at the moment are:
Razr HD
Xperia Acro S
Xperia V
While I really think that the Razr I is a nice phone, there is no CM for it yet (and I have my doubts that it will ever be).
For now, I stay with the Defy because of the form factor (for me, the size is just right) and the community.
I'm in two minds whether to buy it s3 or nexus 4!

[Q] hand free control??

I was wondering do we have any apps like the hands free control the Motorola droid have? I found it in app store but said not compatible with this phone..
Most likely not. The reason it won't work is the Moto X has a dedicated language processor that is always listening. AFAIK no other device can do this at the moment.
