Anyway welcome mate, enjoy

Weeeellll hello haha, I'm moving on from my beloved wildfire(piece of crap). It looks like the XP had sorta the same problem with the locked bootloader but what I don't get is how SE has named their firmwares

In alot of forums it's manditory for people to introduce themselves before posting. So rather than acting like dickheads why not welcome the new user.

See your point Androhero, then we need one of those threads here cuz if everybody did there own hallo we would be cluttered with greetings and stuff.
Ahhh dickheads it's a bit overkill, we're rather being a bit playful and teasing the guy and I see a lot of welcoming aswell
@Takudenatsu what do you find odd with SE FW naming? The bootloader is cracked now for all the r800 versions, though for some models you need to pay a small amount of money to have it done. All info on it her in the play section

I suppose each manufacturer has it's own way of doing things lol, but what I don't get is why all the version numbers? It seems too strenuous to keep up with them.

That's all I've known when having a smartphone, LG, Nokia, HTC and now Sony Ericsson. They've all had numbers and some letters like the plays FW names. Nokia was the shortest and made sense, PR 1.x. PR = public release. It only made it to 1.3. Already 3 month after they released the N900 they stoped there Maemo platform
HTC got region, baseband and release date in it's FW names.
So there's some kind of logic to the names when released to the public.

Welcome to the Xperia PLAY @ XDA forums. This is the site I learned all the stuff I need to know to hack all my phones current and old. From my Motorola Milestone, Droid 2 Global (Never again will I make the mistake of buying a Motorola) and now the liberated Xperia PLAY. This is hands down my favorite phone... period. But anyways welcome to the XDA.

Don't know how they go about naming them? The new one is 4.0.1.A.0.268 and the 'old' is 4.0.A.2.368.
Regards Dousan...
Ohh I can remember when i had the LG the FW names started with a letter. It went from a-k as far as I remember and then those came in region and carrier versions aswell. It was a circus to find the right FW to flash lol.

Welcome aboard; if you played PSone games before you will surely enjoy this ,its PERFECT if you loved gaming/emu/retro and new android games.It totally made me throw my DS in the trash..but i'll be most likely get it out when PKMN3 comes out
If this is your first smartphone you'll be blown away! I totally exploded when i first got it ^_^

I mean like I know 4.x is the latest FW but what does the A mean?

its ramdom

Can someone please explain to me the difference between the different firmwares, .268, .42 and .368?

just relax, mate...everyone is disappointed in the delay, but these kind of topics doesn't bring it any faster...we have to be patient...the only thing you reach by starting this topic is getting yourself a heartfailure of the stress
Why do you hate your X10 so much? What was your previous phone?
I am still enjoying my handset very much. I am able to make calls on it, jump about the net, get some pretty cool apps all in all its working great. Camera is awesome. I am quite happy with it. Upgrade coming in a month.. its all good.
Buy an n97, THEN you'd realise what you had.

Why do you hate your x10 with 1.6?
I get the feeling the only reason you hate it is because you know that there is an update coming and are too impatient to wait. That and you expect 2.1 to turn the phone into something unbelievable which isn't going to happen.
It will improve some factors of the phone, but it isn't going to be anything majorly drastic.
I don't get it. Did your phone stop working under 1.6?
It still does everything it did yesterday. It will keep doing it tomorrow.
Just be a patient person. If you're so unsatisfied, don't post on here, go buy a new phone, and be happy. Why be so negative and filled with rage? Who does that help?
Umm what's with you people lol I love my x10 hence why I bought it but it kills me that most android phones are on the 2.* platform and we're still on 1.6. Sony is taking their sweet ass time with an update that should have been released 2 months ago. And knowing it will never see the 2.2 update is really a downer..

You're a douchebag.. I said I'm happy with my phone. Sony is taking their time releasing an operating system that should be already out. People like you don't care if they do or don't because 'you're happy with what you got and you're a happy nancy' others like myself are considering selling the phone and getting a phone that has 2.1 and up and is more likley to get updated regularly.. I can't see why Sony is taking so long for this update.

Dude, it's like buying a sports car which has a speed limiter built in for no apparent reason. If SE want to tout their Xperia phones as being "the most open mobile phone brand on the market" then it's fair that we call it what it is.. bulls~t!
If the phone is perfectly capable to run Froyo (Flash, etc), then why would SE make such an ordeal out of it? Give it's users a bootloader, then let us choose if we want some homemade Froyo, or stay with SE's 1.6 (eventual 2.1) and customized apps. See, they are the ones creating this negative situation, not their users.

It's a simple "re-brand" so they can market the phone again, but this time with a newer OS. Read the article, guys.

Exactly! The same thing they did on the P900 to the P910. And, than there was the X1 to the X2.
I told you in April, May, June, and July. I have owned four SE flag ship devices and this is exactly what SE do. What's their motto again? Oh yeah, Make Believe!
SE make you believe that you are getting the latest device and it turns out to be miles behind the devices that come out one week later!

As far as I can tell from the pic is that the HD is about video. Hence the "HD capture 720p". Read the small letters below the HD. They are just promoting the capability to capture HD videos in 720p.

Wow, something different in Singapore. We still have only X10 here so the marketing strategy will be different in different countries.

Looking at the ad and translating it to English and then reading it in context it's obvious it is a marketing scheme. I don't understand why people are getting mad that a company wants to trick another group of people in to buying their product.
Edit: people getting mad would be fm1776 but I guess he/she was mad at SE before the telephone was invented

There was pass one month from last cerficated update i think SE left us or is it plaining one big update?

If that change happens in EROM (loader.sin) then nothing could be done to go back...
I suggest that first we should wait for boot.img loading to be ported to X8...

Flashing back will not help?
I can't really be bothered waiting for another 2.1 update no matter how big or small. It's still 2.1. I couldn't be more happy to see the XDA devs hard at work making 2.2+ for the x8. It's not SE who make the x8 a decent little mid-range phone.

Two things can happen:
*New Android update which disables this.
*New EROM which disables bypassing and DRM killing on lower level:
a) new EROM, same AID - EROM is downgradable
b) new EROM, new AID - can't be downgraded at the moment
Basically, don't risk - don't update if any new update comes.

Thats funny because I remember when ICS was pulled for the Play and you said that Sonys motto shouldnt be "make.believe" but "dont.believe" and you werent going to buy another Sony product again.......
Anyway, the Play was a failure. An experiment following in the N-Gage footsteps. Apart from all the people in the Play section on XDA and my brother I dont know a single other person with a Play.

So you cant just buy a USB gamepad? They are just as good as the Play gamepad. I also find it very hard to believe that at 28 years old you cannot buy a console for your home.
Sorry to break it to you but what company would release a follow-up to a commercial failure? Nokia failed on the N-Gage then decided to revamp the N-Gage brand in the N95 series. It FAILED AGAIN. The mobile market is advancing faster than most other things right now so a "gaming optimised" device will only be top-of-the-line for a few months before being surpassed. It reminds me of the PC market. A New PC is outdated the second its made.
People need to drop the "Play 2" thing as its really getting old now.

More than expected? They mustnt have expected to shift very many then. Dont get me wrong, I love the Play but it was still a failure. I remember asking not long after the Play came out in my local Carphone Warehouse store and 3 months after launch they had shifted 1 Play.

Sony is split into different divisions. The Console/Handheld division is the side plagued with idiocy. Removing features from PS3 such as OtherOS install and lack off cross-game chat. The Vita is failing already due to Nintendo pretty much holding monopoly of the market.
The mobile division is doing ok though. I know quite a few happy Xperia series users. Sony were smart not releasing ICS on the Play due to the gamepad messing up. Some people have this thought that they are entitled to every single update that is released by Android. It comes down to peoples stupid buying ideas of buying for what the device can do in the future instead of buying it for what it can do at the time of release.

Dude, you're like the only other person on this forum who also doesn't believe his crap. I said it directly to him in his thread about how so many files are byte-identical to Arc S firmware, among other things I've caught him out on; he just ignores me.
This thread should be locked, it's complete balderdash and a preconception of the 50/50 obvious. *Nobody* knows if Sony will release another Android gaming phone except for High-up Sony staff, which Mark is *not* in contact with.

Haha so true if theyed stop the bullcrap the could be more of a competitor to nintendo but like you said they just keep up the bull the main problem is there lack of sofware for the hardware. The best example of this is the xperia play aka psm disaster lol psm actually disgusts me now ps1 was ok but what in the flying hell is on there now talk about. GARBAGE same reason the vita is failing just no games. Nintendo on the other hand has games out the assssss

I for one am 25 and a seperate gamepad is out of the question. First off im a delivery driver and bust it out for quick sessions between deliverys, I already have to bring a gps(i go where theres no cell data) a work phone, and my phone. Im not going to carry around another item just to play a quick round IIF I have time. Sometimes I just want to try a save state once or twice literally 20secs.
Same with when I go mountain biking, or snowboarding I already have multiple items I dont want or may not even remember a seperate controller. And I may not have time or even want to get a little emulation time in. Same with surfing if I by chance am waiting in the car, these things are relatable to many other times your outside.
A phone with a slide out is always nthing else to remember, not to mention at 26 and most my friends arent into emulation or gaming really so im not about to start busting put a gamepad and akwardly having my phone clipped or on my lap and pretend its not pretty odd. I would never do that at waiting rooms like the dmv either, I dont mind people know im a gamer but that just seems rediculous to me unless your at home or in a car. Seems like it would draw attention when I for one am trying to chill blend in.
Meanwhile with a slideout it just looks like im texting like a regular person non fanatic gamer.

A Recognized Contributor Leaving the Xperia Play

Hey guys i will be leaving the xperia play section tommorow/next day
I have just ordered a brand new LG G2 32GB in Black and it should be here tommorow.
I registered on XDA in 2011 on my birthday 20th novermber... I have had the xperia play since that day and now its time to move on. TO THE AWESOME LG G2 !!!
It's been great here in the xperia play section and i hope to see some of you in the LG G2 section
Thanks for all your support.
Bye guys.
PS Any one wanna buy a Xperia Play? Mint condition - UK Only!
We are sad to see you go but completely understand. The LG G2 is a sweet device. I am sure you will love it. Best of luck and thank you for everything you have done for the Xperia PLAY forum.
Thank you for your efforts dude, you deserve to be a Recognized Contributor, wish the best for you.
Your birthday is same as mine, 20th November 0___0 . Anyway, I am going to miss you, even though I don't know about you much. Good bye and I am pretty sure everyone here on this Xperia Play Section gonna miss you too. Farewell and take care dude.
P.S Congrats on getting a new phone

Not sure yet, We will see. Might continue it on the LG G2 and Xperia Play (decided to get lg g2 over nexus 5) or i might open source it (code is messy be warned) and let others deal with it
I am hoping to get around £70 or a little more with a samsung class 6 16gb micro sd card, but offers are welcome (paypal is preffered payment method)
I still have the box, and it has had a case on all this time, barely any marks only slight wear on the gamepad part where the phone slides. and a few light marks on the sides, i will include case, charger plug (with a usb cable but its a bit dodgy, most people should have a micro usb cable by now though), Screen is mint condition. The only thing it won't include is the stock ear phones (or any) as i broke the stock sony earphones.
According to my research £70 is a average price. I also have 2 apk's from gameloft for 9mm and moderncombat (can't remember which number)
Any questions please ask, Contact me here or on my live chat on my kitchen Additionaly pm me skype and i will chat on there (no headset though it broke.)
oh and i will install any ROM that is on my kitchen before selling , Currently running super jelly bean 7.0 with lupus multiboot v8.
Oh and its factory unlocked to all networks, and is a unbranded model. and official bootloader unlock method was used.
i would upload pictures but i have no decent camera, I use my xperia play as a camera and obviously i can't use that to take pictures of the xperia play, LOL, in 2 days i will have my G2 and i can upload pictures then.
Oh and its the black r800i model. GSM!
another great dev of xperia is leaving
hope you be happy with your g2
any way i wanted to buy a g2 too but im more interested in nexus 5 because of great google support
have nice days with your new phone
Thanks for all of your hard work. Xplay wouldn't be what it is now without you.

Yeah although i never really developed anything for the actual xperia play i did develop various tools for use with the xperia play
The g2 was only £50 more than the nexus 5 and it has better battery and a ton of features, and is in stock! also although no official android 4.4 as of yet it will hopefully get it eventually, if not then thats what XDA is for.

Ok thanks, Any ETA (yes i asked for a ETA on XDA but i don't think this applies lol) on a response?
The kitchen most likely won't close but will no longer be updated, i may give some 1 access to it to keep it updated regarding files but the code won't be unless i update it my self... not sure yet.

As i said (or wrote),i hope to catch him tomorrow after work.Will pm you if i know more,do not worry.
The kitchen not closing is good news,the idea to have a central point to pick up roms,edit them to your likings and have links to their representing topics on here is just genius

I've inserted a comma(,) between my statement and the emoticon implying that I thank you for your efforts and then I'm sad that you are leaving!!
There is this thing called benefit of the doubt!
Anyways, all the best!!
Shame to see you go, I know your guides and such have certainly helped me in my time here. G'luck with the G2

Thanks for the awesome ROM kitchen. I think it's so amazing that you can change ROMs from the browser!
