Just bought an xpleria play! - Xperia Play General

Just bought from phones4u in the uk and I got 3 questions
How do you root it/make it run faster
What's the best case for it
How do you get your 6 free downloads
PS I've just connected my play to my pc for the first time and I notice that it connects in Media Transfer Mode and not Mass Storage although there is the option to switch between the two. Whats the difference? Also what is the PC Companion Software?
Cheers

Pc Companion is used to update your Device (There is also OTA)

You don't get 6 free downloads, you should have 5 games already on the phone, then you can download Asphalt 6 and then 4 from EA if the promo's still running

It seems they dont have that deal anymore. When you try to go to that page it says that its no longer in support of your phone. It has been doing that for all ea games.

Fifa2012 still free turning aware of, but it'll cost you 1.6 of your SD GBs

There is answer to your every question here. Just use search button and use the ability called as "read".

give the guy a break he is only asking for a little help we all have to start somewhere

I think what he means is the 6 games from the Xperia Dock, I had it (Could be 3 games) but if its the dock you need a QR code scanner to scan the barcode or something.

Is anyone else having trouble accessing the links to download the games?
My handset isn't loading the 'nopuk.netsizeonline.com' site which enables you to download the relevant files.

Busy changing their credit card details
For the past few hours the site hasn't worked. I managed to start to download the APK for a game before I was having problems, however it failed.
I can now access the site again, but all games are showing as £3. What's going on? I assume the offer has finished, but I wasn't able to take advantage of it because the website wasn't working... :-(
Also worked fine for me, have an account, so just a simple login and one click buy :-D Got three games...
Regards Dousan...
I got me a fivers worth, thanks for the heads up.
anyone else bought assassins creed and thought £1 was way to much to pay!
ive had more entertaining farts.
Thanks for the heads up, got another couple
Their Support is disgraceful, I have been emailing them daily for the past 2 weeks with zero replies.
I had bought 3 games before I flashed my phone, then lost them & have been emailing support for fresh download links but they are ignoring me. For anyone else with same problem, I figured out a workaround - the initial small file that you download got saved to my SD card under the download folder of my Dolphin browser. I just installed from there & it let me download the 200Mb portion & all is working again.
I bough 9 Games while there £1 haha, i cant get modern combat 2 to work though, it launches the first time to download the data but then force closes, i mite try deleting it and installing again
Lol, I bought splinter cell yesterday.... wondered why it was only £1

Need for Speed Shift Now "Fake" FREE for Xperia Play owners

Go to Xperia Game menu and get it
Will check it later ! I need to write to Gameloft first!
Got the version 1.0.4 from Gameloft for Rainbow Six and this one works ! Finally (Version with the additional 1 MB to download)
Still Sacred Odyssey Not working ...
Update: This game is mentioned Free but in fact it's not a Free games it's a trial Game.
EA might need to check the definition of FREE on dictionary...
EA sucks as usual when it comes to customer care...
EA sucks on making Android Games since Asphalt 6 is at least 10 times better that this "Bip"
Sorry people I really thought that it was free since it was mentioned on the Xperia App and i should have checked this before posting but you know that those company might give some oportunity to download only for a day.
in canada with rogers, dont see it atm.
I am with Rogers but it looks like the trial games like sims 3.
The Tom Clancy one had FREE on the icon.
Do you know if it is a trial?
Edit: I wont kow until I get home and try.
Not seeing it yet in us. Pay or free.

Its free just doesnt say it on the icon. Says on the download page. I hear spirderman is next on the freebie block

You have to go into the xperia play app (when you slide the screen up) and select More games on the bottom and it should be in that list. If not you need to update your play app. I had a bunch missing until I updated the play app.
For me Tom clancy and asphalt 6 had/have FREE on the icon and the ones that just say free after you go in where just trials. I'm keeping my finger crossed. If any Canadians can confirm this please do.

Also If someone got the APK of the free version of Rainbow Six that worked with firmware 2.3.3. I'll be grateful if this person could kindly PM me and sent it since my version doesn"t work. (v1.0.1) and didn't have the time to get it while it was available here...
I need the version with the additional 1 MB to download

need for speed has always said free on the ea shop, you buy it in app with a premium rate sms
that explains it. The EA ones are trials and the Gameloft ones are full free games.
Edit: Had me excited there.
I can confirm the Tom Clancy game is the Full Game. Not Demo in Canada. make sure you have a bit of time to DL tho.
And its Fun! heh
Didn't know that sorry But it said FREE for me it was new and never happened before.
I have gone to the EA store and got the apk there. and installed it.
For the moment i'am still working on making rainbow six works and to tell you the truth since now one week i'am writing to gameloft concerning this problem and they seems to have corrected the problem on both games Sacred Odyssey and Rainbow Six but i don't have the update prompt and it makes me mad.
that's why for the moment i was a little busy and didn't have the time to test NFS.
I will do my test later today and post here concerning the release i got. If it's just a Trial i will put that in the First Post and might change the topic too.
Please continue to check it might be a real full version FREE.

i went back to 2.3.3 because people said rainbow 6 and sacred were fixed but neither of them work for me
*reaches for xperia play*
Rainbow Six now works for me i'am gonna check this NFS right now.
Keep checking the thread
Great Rainbow Six WAS actually free here. But the game somehow didn't worked. After checking it again on the Gameloft page it says 3,49€ -.-.
Is it allowed to ask for the working apk here?
Rogers Canada here.
It doesn't say the free icon but it is free.
EDIT: is anyone getting the free trial message?
Sorry thread need to be closed now don't bother posting

Reinstall gameloft games previously purchased. Edit: Solved

My microsd card became corrupt today, and I had to format it. When I go to a previously bought game (Let's Golf 2) from the Xperia Play games launcher, it says I have to purchase it again, and asks for a payment method. This is also the case for Rainbow Six. Any ideas how I can get these to download again?
Edit: My bad, it's on the My Account page of their mobile interface.
You buy mobile games?
None of my games show up on my account page on their website.
I purchased nearly all of them then reformated my phone and lost them all. Only Asphalt 6 shows up.
I emailed their customer support who got back to me and said if they dont show up, re-email them and they will fix it.
I didnt bother though. Once you complete most games you kind of get bored with them anyway.
But yea, for most people you can re-download stuff via your account page.

I was trying to re-add my card to google wallet and then i found out about it !!

Get asphalt 6 for her phone
Thats the racing game i was on about, couldn't remember the name of it. I was going to get it on her phone but she hasn't set up her payment details properly and it was light so i just left it to the next day, i didn't know that the apps for 10p changed daily then so ive missed out.
I got GLWG for 10p which is good fun, im just stocking up on good 10p games even if they wont work well on our x10 ready to play on whenever i get a new phone or tablet.
trouble downloading from market
hope someone can help me on this.
been trying to download some of the featured discounted apps but it keeps saying "error occured. please try again." i also tried on other regular paid apps (outside the discounted section) and i still get the same error. free apps i can download no problem.
i thought it has something to do with where i am (Philippines) but when i try to do it via pc browser, the paid apps get pushed to my device with no problems.
any of you have any thoughts on this?
thanks!

Why do you need to transfer apps? There is no itunes here on Android, all apps loading is done through the app stores. You can however use your computer browser to remotely install apps to your device where ever you are. That's a cool feature.
The only reason to transfer apps would be to install apks you get from the Internet, but you wouldn't be doing that would you?
Welcome to the light side. You can transfer apps (.apk.) files as they are known on android as others have suggested. Personally I have
never found the need. The play store is your best friend. There are tonnes of free/trial apps and games you can dload instantly.
Not to mention the 5 day 25c 25p Google sale. They will change each day for the next few days. I recommend office suite pro on sale at the moment if you want the best office app on android. Usually $15 £10, you can grab it if you are quick for 25 pennies. A few gamers and other apps.
For less than 2quid I managed to grab 7 different apps and games. Looking forward to see whats next on offer in a few hours time.

*sigh* There are perfectly legit reasons to be transferring apks; thank God they actually let you rather than just blanketing all unofficial activity as piracy.
Anyways, that's basically the answer for the OP. Apps get remotely installed from the play store with no need for transfer, whereas apks can just be sent and installed if necessary.
