[Q] Games on the Xperia Play App Q

I downloaded Zenonia 2 and Spider-Man Total Mayhem from V-Cast, but when I slide my phone open and the Xperia Play App launches, they don't show up in here. They are advertised in the app, but don't show up here when I have them. They show up with the rest of my apps and work, but I feel like they should also be in the Play App. Is there a reason for this? Can I change it?

clear the cache in app settings then reboot that mite help

No cache to clear in the app... plus I also downloaded Assassins Creed at the same time and that one shows up properly in the app...

have u updated the play app on andriod market mate ?

uh, when I go to the android market, it isn't listed with the rest of my programs that need updates

usually happens when you download games which are meant for other phones..
is the gamepad working on those games?

The D pad and such work for them, not the touch sensors. I would think it was the right game for the Play... since I clicked on the Ad for the game when it popped up in the Xperia Play app, then I downloaded the game from the link it provided

It wont pop up saying it needs updating. Well mine didnt. If you have not updated it since you have had the phone just search xperia play and the game launcher will come up on the market to download/update. It depends on the game developer as well. Doodle Jump which does not use the gamepad shows up in my launcher but other games that use the gamepad dont.

Downloaded and updated the Xperia Play App, still no change. I could kind of understand some games not being supported, but it would be weird if that were the case here, since the same app is advertising them in a way that looks almost identical to "games you own" section.

Older games which used Joysticks and Dpads on resistive screen devices will use the XPlay DPad as well.

Just gonna bump my thread incase anyone else has a clue to fix this issue

Spiderman didn't show up for me until I updated the Play app.

Already Updated my play app T.T

Old icons for Google Apps... Why?

Hi there
I got my Mate 8 yesterday (installed Google Now immediately) and so far a excellent phone!
But... something I noticed is that all Google apps like Play Books, Play Music etc. use the old app icons. Same thing with Instagram.
The phone and all apps are updated.
Does anyone know why and how to fix this. It's not a big problem but still...
Thanks for helping!

My Build number ends with B152. Does that mean there is an update? My phone doesn't say there is.
I live in Norway by the way, but that shouldn't matter I guess.

Dont worry... Its a bug... From your carrier signal , it appears that you are currently roaming. Play store updates are not getting downloaded over mobile data when roaming.. I experienced the same issue... It will work fine over wifi or if you get back to your proper circle ... Hopefully a fix is on the way

Hey thanks for replying....... But is this normal...... Phone being wake all night..... Even after screen off and almost all essential apps greenified..... And play services not updating......
Thanks in advance.....

What the heck did you do? Are you unlocked or rooted? If you know what you are doing then start all over and stop messing with stuff until it's stable. And no, it's not normal.

No, there is no software bug in the OS. You need to stop whatever apps you have running or reset the device and start over.

The battery should improve in a day or so after google play services finish synchronising, just give it one to two days

Did you tried to reconnect your Google account?

Ive removed it turn off and on the device and logged in again

Similar thing happened to me today. I uninstalled Google Play Store updates in the app manager to get my list of installed apps to show again. Then I had to reboot my phone once to keep any detached apps from accidentally updating in the Play Store (YouTube). After finally updating Play Store, I haven't had any issues so far.

"Google Play Store has stopped"

Hi all,
Sorry if this isn't the right forum to post. My essential phone seems to stop working whenever I try to scroll through the Play Store > Under Games. It's the only category that seems to do this and I'm not entirely sure as to why?
My phone is using stock android 8.1.0. I'd appreciate any help on this, I've only experienced that typically once or twice on Custom ROM's but never on a stock android without any modifications.
Thanks!
