Hi,
Do you think Sony will develop an app that let all the Xperia users to have acces with remote play to their pictures, video and music?
Why do you think they can't do it?
Did any one ever tried to do an app?
Does it have to do with the fact that the X10 still dont have DLNA?
I just wanted to know because it sucks the an old phone like the S.E. Aino has remote play avalable but not the Xperia! I'm no expert so if someone has an idea plz let us know!
Anyway'z if you find it's a good idea

Well the Aino can do it and so can Vaio PCs, so why not their flagship android phone? I can tell you this much, if they don't make an app for THIS phone they surely will for the Playstation phone.
I know the PSPhone is a rumer but still the X10 is their flagship phone!
It kills me to see that S.E. is letting the phone die ....
They know that people change handset every year and a half almost but still ...
Well, It's probably easier to write a Symbian app for Remote Play than it is to write an Android app, where there's lots of crap going on at once. Maybe when we get DLNA, we'll get a Remote Play surprise. Can't say it'd be useful though. I use remote play with my PSP... it's pointless.
why buying it? Aino has it for free why not us?

You still think it's a rumor?
http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/27/the-playstation-phone-is-still-real/
and more recently:
http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/29/the-playstation-phone-new-photos-more-details
I admit Remote Play for the PSP is not all that ...
But for the Xperia its something else I mean when I am somewhere waiting insted of putting a movie on my memory card I could just stream it
And for the PSP phone ... It's been almos a year since the first time I heard the rumor ... and seriously I don't think S.E. is going to release it because their working on a PSP 2. .. why do both!

The posts on Engadget were from the end of October.
Year ago = rumor
October 2010 = Prototype.
Why do both? How about different markets for one. You could say the same thing about the PSP Go. They marketed that to a different group than those that would normally get the 3000 model. I have both because I use the Go in my car for MP3 storage as well as something to keep me occupied while I'm out running errands or something. I like gaming on my phone, but i don't do it for a long time because I don't want it to drain the battery. If the PSP phone had the capabilities of the PSP Go along with being an android phone, then I would definitely get it.
Why is there still no app for ps3 remote play?
Final answer..

I think I can answer this original question once and for all.. Sony has always been one of those companies that likes to monopolizes their products, e.g., their accessories only work with their products. In the case of them making a "remote play" app for a device like the Xperia Pro, to work with the PS3, this would be a conflict of interest for them. Yes, the Xperia is a Sony product, but it uses the Android system. Sony would have to create an "Android" app to work with the PS3. And that would mean that any phone that had Android, could simply download this app and use it with the PS3. Guess what! We would no longer need to buy a PSP, a Sony product, to have the remote play function with the PS3! I'm sure the rest is self explanatory.
So why hasn't a third party, or some Joe in his basement made an app that would do the trick? Well Sony would simply release a manditory update for the PS3 that would render that app useless. That's mainly what those updates are for anyway; to eliminate hacks and cracks.
Does this mean there will never be an official app? Well I would say no. Just as someone else said, with enough demand, Sony might eventually change their minds. Or when the PS3 is no longer a primary interest for them. Who knows? Guess we'll just have to wait and see!

Hi would like to know if its possible to start a call through the liveview? Like vrowsing the contact list and pass the signal to a bluetooth headset.
at the moment of release, no, it does not support it. However, LiveView's API is capable of doing so, u just need someone to write a program that runs between the phone and LiveView. It definitely is capable to do so, it can do alot more stuff than we anticipated, trust me

sadly, only for NEW xperia phones.
For earlier products such as the Xperia™ X10, we cannot allow the boot loader to be unlocked due to technical and legal reasons.

From the official Blog.
I truly believe most smartphone makers have missed the boat. They have chosen not to harness the power of community.
Nokia tried with the maemo community and the n900 phone. They just screwed it up so bad they managed to alienate their passionate developers and users.
Seriously: shouldn't ericsson be handing out prizes to the best devolopers? Hire them? Buy their ROM and use as a basis of their own updates? It would be faster and they would get community support.
I would be sponsoring the forum and be offering technical support as needed if I was running SE.
It is a bit crazy. most companies would kill for the passion people show here.

i think they forgot how they locked it
Hi guys i posted a thread on the sonyericsson facebook page jere is the content:
Why have you stopped updating a phone that has not even been out for 12 months, instead of updating our phones or unlocking the bootloader but doing it for your new models stinks its only because you got enough complaints from x10 users that you finally caved in to public demand and decided to implement 2.3 and multitouch
The x10 mini pro has a multitouch capable screen more so than the x8 or x10 , it is also a newer phone than the x10 but you say you have no plans to add these to the mini pro there are many reasons to update the phone apps2sd,jit,security and bug fixes that the users of this phone are asking for.
How can you continue to tell your paying customers what they want instead of listening to them and implementing the changes that are viable and in the case of apps2sd are pretty much required when you use more than a few apps the phones memory is not sufficient.
The lack of transparency in your updates and how your taking on board our feedback needs to be more than'' ill pass that on to the developers'' as a person who has worked in the mobile industry in the uk for 5 years and been a user of sony ericsson phones from the t68 and before the merge zg5 i i have become very disillussioned with your phones and company so much to the point that i will not buy or recommend another sony ericsson phone with this type poor customer service.
One of the main things i learnt in the customer service side of my job was to take ownership of a customers problems and not pass the buck which is what you seem to be doing everytime someone has requested that you make an update available had i not have had these issues i would have bought the xperia play(i know the bootlader for this phone is unlocked but will void the warranty) but with your poor form recently i dont think ill be buying another one of your companys phones due to:
poor amount of updates for the software
poor response and lack of response to customer feedback
poor battery life
lack of internal storage due to lack off apps to sd
lack of jit
that awful sony ericsson blue theme that cant be changed
the charging issue that means i cant turn the phone on but the led flashed red for some amount of time
Will you at least update this phone to 2.3 and not fob your customers off with buck passing responses as it think it is the minimum required from your company for a phone that is less than 12 months old
Here is the address, http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=35313373389&topic=24567
i dont really expect anything to come from this but i figure the more people that complain or add comments to this would be appreciated to highlight our frustrations
this is more to do with the fact that we are relying on the awesome owain to do this and seen the despair when he got rid of his mini pro it was almost as if the whole reason ive kept my mini pro til now had gone, now he has another im releived
but this doesnt change the fact that we the x10 mini pro users are relying on a 16 year old guy from holland to make our phones work the way they should have done from day one and continue to be updated for at least 12 months from the date of release the main fact is the phone is <12 months old and not being supported
Owain94, I think you're right))

I've been looking for a app that Streams Live Tv, but really Haven't been Satisfied with any that I've tried lately! All the apps that worked and were Decent seem to get shut down....
So if anyone knows of any Please Help me out and Post the link or app itself!
Thanx...
I would also like to find something like this, anyone know?

We Can't be the Only ones, Can we? Lol...
everyone is interested the problem is that the legality of apps that can stream live tv from the channels we are interested in is pretty questionable. Essentially the developers of the app don't have the rights to stream the content and the content owners aren't interested
Not really a way to do it unless someone sets up something similar to http://www.slingbox.com/go/home
Otherwise, you'll need to wait till companies like Comcast and Cablevision port their apps from the ipad to android
If you live in the UK (or have a uk vpn/proxy u can use) the best isn't really an app but a website
www.tvcatchup.com gives access to the following channels
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
I have used this service many times whilst I am camping and its perfect.
In Australia, I can only watch ABC channel!
Every Stupid website that works seems to get Shut Down as soon as I find out about it, Lol...
Hi guys,
The company i work in allows only Samsung phones - which is ridiculous since it's all android.
I have Xperia P and i want to use it as a company phone (to have access to email etc) - i do not want to continue using Samsung!
They gave me the S3 mini...
Is there a way so i can make my XP look like it's S3 mini? What would need to be changed? How would i do it?
There is no special software involved for company emails, only Mobile iron & Touchdown apps which are both on the play store.
This would really help me in the long run! Some day i want to upgrade to Xperia Z1 Compact and not use Samsung...

Unauthorized tampering with company stuff is going to get you fired. Running a rooted phone is probably going to get you fired as well.
Try to talk with someone with authority and ask them to explain why this is in effect and if they can't make exceptions.
That said, you cannot change physical appearence. Hardware won't fit, it never does. The fun fact is that both phones have very similar specs, and they both use a Novathor SoC.
The software is easier to fool. Android reads the phone name and manufacturer from the build.prop in /system/
As long as you change only the name and not the actual hardware settings in that file, it should work ok. Make backups before doing this.
And let me repeat it, if someone with authority catches you using a non-approved phone to do company stuff, you will likely get fired.
Hey, thanks for your answer!
Maybe i did not make myself clear...i was never thinking of changing the appearence of the phone. Only the software.
I'm working in this company for many years...don't worry about me, but thanks for the warnings.
Unfortunately, the official answer is - the software is not compatible. Anyone with some brains can tell that is BS but ok.
It's a big company, nobody will check my phone, but when i connect they will see which brand it is, so that's the only thing i have to change.
I found this so i'll give it a try: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1948558
yeah, that guide does what I was talking about in my post.
Changing phone brand and manufacturer affects Play Store as well. (Play store does limit available apps depending on phone model). In your case you probably won't be able to download sony-only apps (which is no big loss if you ask me).
In the past people changed build.prop to disguise random devices as Nexus 7 tablets so they could download all possible apps for their Android version.
Btw, if you manage to sidestep their "security measures" with a build.prop edit, their security department isn't worth a dime.
For their own good, I hope that they did enact a more serious security system to lock out non-company phones.
Well i will still use the company SIM card. We have no access to any of the company systems through the phone, only the emails.
Nobody can install Mobile Iron settings if they don't connect to the correct server and provide a PIN (which i have) to install all neccessary certificates etc.
We'll see what happens, i might just try it to see if it works, then decide if i'll use it or not.
Thanks
Change it in the build.prop, you're modifying your own device not the companies.
The phones are almost the same though anyway:

Why dont you just use the samsung? It has better battery by the way :good:
All I can say with VR capability of Zmaxpro is :laugh: .
I bought a $20 one from walmart. Pain in the ass though coz this phone is huuuuge :good: It is pressing on the buttons and so my husband is 'tweaking' the gear to solve that problem.
Dunno if there is a VR headset that can fit this phone without problem but since I can't wait to try it. I just shove my phone in the headset without its holder LOL. IT works but my phone of course is not snug in place.
Still wow. UNBELIEVABLE! I thought I would not be sucked into this VR thing but wow. The only reason I 'gave' in is coz the headset is not overprice like crazy. For $20 wow really amazing.
And Zmaxpro is VR awesomest!!! Just sharing my happiness with the VR experience in this phone.
And no I am NOT gonna root this awesome phone don't want to lose its VR capability no way.
Just want to share my head is spinning and am about to puke after I played 'Returning home' VR game. Ugh. And then I had an error 491 out of the blue and can't update or install anything from playstore.
None of the solutions online worked for me. If I was not 'traumatized' by all this stupid locks on new phones ESPECIALLY FRP and google verify locks, I would have factory reset my phone in a heartbeat.
Instead I went to ZTE website. By the way, really impressed with the live chat support ZTE people. Your customer support is 100001% better and lightning fast may I add, than alcatel which I believe is NON EXISTENT!
Anyway, just want to share that I factory reset it no problem. Without being locked out AS IT SHOULD BE!! But to play safe I remove my google account like the live chat agent told me.
It is the ONLY way that solved my error 491. Just don't forget to remove your google account first before you factory reset.
I bought my phone brand new too and it is not rooted. So maybe that's why I didn't get locked out.
Just sharing to anyone that get the error 491.
I also want to say this is my fave phone by far out of all the android phones I had and they are like many. Before I had this, my fave one was Galaxy s2.
This is my open letter suggestion to ZTE people who are (in my mind ) reading on this forums :good: I love my zmaxpro. I loooove it. I mean I have been peddling this awesome phone in this forum EVERY chance I get.
Dear ZTE people,
My phone is the awesomest! Thank you. I just hope you fix the slow internet surfing on my phone please? When I click on the video on an article in the internet it is also slow. AND.... please make my phone be updated in nougat Android 7 for free like right now?
Because I just read about this new VR software from google and so I KNOW once my phone is updated to nougat Android 7 my phone will also be daydream ready!!! I know now why you are not advertising my phone as VR ready. You are capitalizng that on axon 7. LOL. I get it. It's my win though coz I have this VR ready phone for cheap! Or else I won't buy it!!!
Thanks and anxiously waiting for my free nougat Android 7 update, hopefully
I recommend the bohemian rhapsody VR app, LOL. It is FTW! I also like Cyclops duckhunt. I really feel like I am cyclops from xmen. You don't need controllers for those games. The best games are those that you can control by headtrack. No controller needed. I love horror movies and games that's why my fave game is resident evil. I just can't with VR. Because this is literally in my face more like my eyes magnified. I tried a few horror apps that really works good on this phone. I can't finish it. I am too chicken to finish it.
ZTE people. I am really disappointed though that there are a lot of bugs in this phone. I hope you really fix this. The only way I can really be happy with this phone even if it has this bugs though is if you will finally update zmax pro for Android N. ALREADY PLEAAASSEEE! I will bug you here and also in your ZTE website. I won't stop until I get what I want.
Two words. Android N.
