Optimization Tip #1 (Too Many Apps)
It's very easy to reach those numbers in no time
specially when you are a phone game addict like me
with the limitation of the i9020 not having an external SD card support i never had as much freedom as i did when using the i9000, on that phone i easily reached 500 Apps in no time, and well the slow down is obvious.
so the Trick & Tip for this session is about keeping a good balance between performance, and still have those 300+ Apps installed in the phone without blowing up on you.
Requirement: TitaniumBackup
you will probably think uninstalling the Apps that you don't need, true, but that's not always the best way, however for Apps that you absolutely do not use at least once a month, they should definitely be gone from the phone.
to keep the phone from slowing down to a claw, specially when your launcher tries to load up all those Apps & icons, simply use Titanium Backup to FREEZE the ones that you don't use very often, but are still nice to have in the phone for those "emergencies" when you really need it the most, but you wished you had them installed, and not deleted just to keep your phone from running smooth.
just keep a shortcut of TitaniumBackup some where on the desktop launcher to have quick access to the Apps to freeze & unfreeze the other Apps that you want to keep in the phone.
Also all the less used Apps you can group them inside a folder, and make a shortcut of that folder on the desktop launcher, so that when you Unfreeze them you know exactly where to look for them, instead of having to scroll through the entire Apps drawer.
Another great idea, only for those with unlimited mobile internet access, is to use the DropBox feature of TitaniumBackup, and then store all those Apps you want to keep on the cloud, and restore them when you need them
That's all for today

350 apps????
why???
I think it would be easy to accumulate that number. However, i tend to go through and thin out the ones I dont use occasionally. I dont think id ever get to 350! Think ive got about 50 or so on there at the moment.
damn I only have 110 lol
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA Premium App
Damn...that's a lot of apps
aprox 50 are actual apps the other 300 are mostly games, good games like GunBros, most of the good ones from Gameloft, EA, and many other big hit tittles in Android Market
I don't think I've ever had more than 10 downloaded... 350 is kind of overkill man. You can only play so many games...

lol you're crazy
I have 8 games on my phone right now (including emulators... i use GBCoid for pokemon yellow and n64oid for... actually I never use it). That also includes Kongregate arcade.
how can you STAND playing on a touchscreen? like I play modern combat from game loft more than any game, and playing on a touch screen sucks! my fingers always block my view (and i don't even have big hands)
Damn man. Just download them again from the market if you need to have them again. How can you possibly use that many regularly.

Very much so. It won't even play the audio on fmv's. But audio in game play is pretty solid considering how most games are choppy. Same for tactics.

Is the sound problem the emulators fault or our phones?
Like how much better can the emulator get.
All my questions ultimately lead to wanting to know how possible a PSP and Sega Dream cast / SegaSaturn/Sega Genesis emulator are.
Well the n64 emulater is on the way. When I had my g1 snes games had the sound issue. Then an update fixed it. Due to the fact that are phones are the most powerful android devices for gaming. I'm less inclined to believe its our galaxies. With this kick ass gpu and all.

I noticed everyone uses Weatherbug for their weather app. I kinda like Accuweather, it used to be buggy and crash but now it works great. Is there any particular reason why everyone likes Weatherbug over Accuweather? Perhaps I should see for myself.
Any recommendations for MS Office compatible apps?

3. What sort of games are currently available in the PS store?
4. Hows the camera?

This is just personal experience, but YMMV.
1. Wireless hotspot has worked great for me. I hook my iPad up to it when I'm at my grandparent's house and there's never any loss of connection. That's even on the awful Kentucky EDGE network, too.
2. I can't really help there because I never play those types of videos.
3. The PS store? If you mean the Playstation Pocket app, if you're in America (and possibly Canada), nothing. All you gots is Crash Bandicoot. FPSE is better for PS1 emulation, anyway, if that's what you're looking for. A lot of people get their games from Gameloft.
4. The camera is pretty decent. It's better than the camera on my old Desire HD that I sold. It would be better with different software (it's the AOSP app), so download Vignette or Camera 360 if you want better pictures. On this subject, the FFC looks black and white unless you're in good light.
5. I have and it worked fine on said slow network. The speaker is really loud, too.

2. The Stock Media Play can not play .avi straight out the box.....BUT......all you need to do is download a better media player and it will work straight out the box.
MoboPlayer is my recomendation to you. It plays everything i have thrown at it so far.
3. The actual Playstation games are not worth buying at all imo. Just download FPSE and get all your PS games on the emulator. (leglally you need to own the games before you download them, blah blah technical blah blah).
The Xperia Play games from Gameloft and a few other devs are quite decent quality. I love Gameloft games. Some people do not though. Remember this is a phone first and foremost. Not a dedicated games console.
4. Camera is OK. 5MP is decent. Not amazing, but clear enough to have them pictures full blown on your PC monitor without seeing many pixels.
The video recording is ok too. Not 720p, but not far off, it takes a keen eye to tell the difference.

2. Yes, Moboplayer works great. You'll have no issues playing standard def content, and in some cases 720p works too.
3. Very few, Crash bandicoot, midevil, and jet moto or something along those lines, haven't used it in a while. I used fpse and play the games I want to play (Final Fantasy VII in my case) I also use it for Super nintendo, nintendo, gameboy, and N64.
4. Fine for a cell camera. Not as good as the more camera oriented cyber-shot phones, but it holds it's own. Also the shoulder buttons make it easy to tak pictures compared to touch screen shutter.
As stated this phone has the loudest speakers out of any phones I've seen. It has two very nice cell phone speakers rather than the standard one, so everything from ring tones to games are plenty loud. They also have extremely good frequency response for cell phone speakers. Music, games, videos, everything sounds "fuller" on the Play compared to other phones.
Thanks all for the great answers.
Overall I just want to make sure I can load Google Music app despite being in the UK and that there aren't audio sync issues with avi files like some phones i've tried.

Also found this on web
Reports are flooding in that Google has extended invites to its cloud-based music streaming service for residents of the UK. The buzz over Google Music has been building since it launched in the US following Google I/O.
In order to enjoy the music-streaming goodness that is Google Music Beta , you’ll need a Nexus S running Android 2.3.4. Users who fit the bill will be greeted with a self-install notification following the completion of the sign up on Google’s website.

If you're addicted to flashing ROM's, don't get it. I only got one because I traded my Inspire for it.
The game buttons are the selling point. I personally missed development going on...so my mom needed a phone with a SAMOLED so I got a Nexus S for her. :-D

Fifa 12 has great graphics and gameplay but has no gameplay modes very disapointing, in fifa 10 you have manager mode , career mode and be a pro , will there be any updates to this
the game is awesome and better than any soccer game for xperia play.
I don't like that I can't switch the controls to alternate. I hate playing the classic controls im used to PES. So I shoot with square and cross with circle. Besides that the game is great. Is there no multiplayer like in fifa 10?

I have had a little go of it its not very impressive (Cannot find a way to use the dpad instead of the touchpads which sucks).

AFAIK EA said that they were "only" releasing for Xperia 2011 devices.
All of them have an Adreno GPU and are armv7 so if your phone shares the same GPU and architecture you could run it - but EA won't give it to you. If you want it, get an Xperia.
Here is some more gameplay footage and emulators including PPSSPP like requested! Let me know what you all think!!
