Latest Maps update - Xperia Play General

Hey there fellow XDA'ers just wanted to bring a problem to you attention which I fixed in just in case anyone is having problems and going nuts. The newest Maps update can cause your Xperia play Launcher Games to randomly pause just while your playing the game In fact One time it did it to me 30 times in 5 minutes. Needless to say VERY annoying anyways if your having this problem just uninstall the update and use titanium backup to detach maps from the market so it wont )try to make you update it and all your games will play fine!!! cheerio and buhbye

[Q] Crashing emulators and games help

ive had my play for a month and a half now on vadafone uk and ive rooted and removed bloatware but emulators and games just go off unexpectedly and with no error message. is ther any "fix" or solution aound this ???????
I also have this problem and with Vodafone- but after only a week of having it. I've noticed it with the pre-loaded games, Bruce Lee, Sims 3, also it's happened with Asphalt 6. There's no message and it just closes unexpectedly after a random amount of time. I've even factory reset it but the problem still exists. Must be rare though because I cannot find anyone with the problem!
update your Xperia Play on the official Site if it's safe for you
Thanks, I'll give it a try- the sony ericsson update via USB cable? I assumed the phone had automatic updates but maybe this will fix it.
Reinstalled the software with it but it didn't work- going to try to get a replacement phone since I haven't had it very long.

[Q] Great Little War Game (GLWG)

Hi guys,
I bought this game 2 weeks ago for 0,10cent, installed and played it for a while.
Now yesterday I wanted to play the game again, and it crashes on startup. (I think the game got updated a few days ago...)
So, I uninstall the game and want to re-install it, but the market keeps telling me my device in not compatible. I used to install it on 240dpi screen settings when I bought it, but even that doesn't work anymore...
Does anyone know how I can get this app to run again? It used to work...
Thanks!

If it makes you feel any better, this is a cross platform, cross ROM issue. I am having the same problem with a Samsung Galaxy Note 2, and I have seen the same problem reported on S3s, S4s, Droid Bionics, etc.
I keep looking to see if Google is providing an update, but no apparent response despite the growing chorus of complaints and reports.
I had this issue when I flashed the latest Paranoid Android alpha update and their new gapps.
I flashed previous gapps and updated everything and I'm good now.

I had this problem out of nowhere yesterday morning. I removed extensions, etc. Nothing had changed since it had worked the day before, other than their new "listen" rollout, or that pandora competitor.
It would immediately crash with an "aw, snap" every time, within a millisecond.
So I went here: support.google.com/googleplay/?rd=1#contact=1
and filled that out. Got the auto response email with some pat, boilerplate problem solving stuff.
But I didn't do ONE THING, and it fixed itself.
I have a hunch that they get receipt of that, and check your account and fix it behind the scenes. That's the only thing I can think of, because I didn't do a thing, and it stopped working.... and started working again after I didn't do a thing (other than try to remove extensions).....
that support troubleshooter may have done the trick. I am back up and running.
I had the same problem when upgrading to Play Music 5.0.something; what I did to overcome the FC's:
1. Clean cache Download Manager
2. Clean cache Play Music
3. Clean cache Media Storage
4. Reboot
I had the same problem and uninstalled updates to roll back to the prior version. Then on Friday, I saw the update pending and decided to try again. Somehow, it did indeed fix itself. However, what I notice now is that it likes to un in the background on its own from time to time -- enough that it seems to be interfering with battery life . . . .
Works fine for me, never had an issue. I don't use it though as I don't listen to music on my phone

Can't connect to Google Store in some occasions

I have strange problem recently. I have wifi at home, it works fine, but in some games it says that there's no connection to the store or there's a problem with my internet (depends on the game) while in the same time I am chatting with someone through messenger or viber or whatever, I can open facebook, the store itself, etc. Why is that? Some games are ok but in others, for example Angry Birds Transformers, it always says that. I tried that remove updates option for the GStore app but it didn't fixed a thing. My phone is with stock kernel, stock LP 5.1 rom but its rooted and I have lucky patcher installed. Do you guys think its because of one of those two? I know there are games who detect "hacking" tools such as the lucky patcher but they just say it and dont boot at all. It seems like thats not the case here.

Installs suddenly hanging or stopping. Help?

Has anybody else experienced problems with updating/installing apps recently? I first noticed when I couldn't install anything from Underground. Then I found that the Play Store wouldn't install or update, either. I have:
1. Cleared cache/data/updates from play store and play services, which works for about two minutes each time I clear data from play services.
2. Completed hard (factory) reset, after which it updated apps and then promptly started doing the same thing.
3. Used the trick where I remove play store from the recent apps list, which works sometimes.
If I can find apks, they will will install and function, though sometimes the install comes with an error message. No app will download and then install. If I install from the play store website, the website thinks it is installed, but it doesn't get to the phone.
Oddest part? Galaxy apps works perfectly.
If it matters, it's an Exynos S7 Edge.
#1 above makes me think that the issue is from a recent play services update, and perhaps my problem will clear after the next play services update. My phone is perfectly usable, except for that updating thing.
Yep, same problem. Except I have the Snapdragon variant on Verizon. I've gone through all the usual wiping of caches, factory reset, etc. Same conclusion: I believe it to be a play store issue. Except I know my play store has updated versions at least 2 times since the problem started with no improvement though. Sometimes I have to reboot before the apps will finish installing.
Funny thing is, I was able to install XDA Labs with no problem sideloaded, while Play store was still hanging with a normal update. So I definitely don't believe it to be a Samsung issue anyway.
Hope someone finds a solution, it is annoying...
