Software bug? Swipe doesn't work in Google play store - Sony Xperia Z Ultra

I noticed that the swipe (Xperia Int. Keyboard, not SwYpe) on my Xperia Z ultra works everywhere except for Google play store. Interestingly, it works in Play store on my Xperia ZL. Did anyone notice that or am I missing something?

I ve noticed the same issue.
Maybe it's because the names of the apps are not dictionary based so any suggestion or correction of the spelling is goin to guide us to different results and that, is not "fair" for non dictionary-based named apps.
My guess

Same here. I noticed that quite early on, but I didn't think any of it. What's the use of a dictionary in the Play Store?

Playstation mobile app opens Sony Web page saying coming soon.

Anyone else have this? It instantly loads the Web page without going into the app at all. I've tried clearing cache and data in the app, uninstall Ed updates and reupdated but no luck. Any help appreciated.

I've seen a lot of YouTube reviewers open that app, and when they did, the app opened and not the browser, so it's a mystery. Maybe Sony is overhauling it or something...?

Same thing here.
I had the app working for a bit about a week ago. I deleted the app because I found that every app on there was in the Google Play App Store. I'll try reloading it again and see if it works.
Maybe they are working on functionality that would allow the playing of PS4 games on Android? That would be so awesome!!! (but also not very likely)
its working now tho i cant see any PSX games anywhere

Here in Germany, the Collection is very bad as well!
Only a few wack games available.
the app is called playstation yet features not 1 playstation game lmfao!
where the PSX games
Sony has a new Playstation app. Not sure when it'll get released though, but i guess that's why the current PS app isn't working that well.
"Wrapping up the Tokyo Game Show keynote this evening, Sony introduced the PlayStation App, a mobile app for Android and iOS that brings device connectivity into the mix. With the app, users can take part in games on the go, as well as use a smartphone or such as a second screen, check out what friends are up to, and more. We’ve got a video of the demonstration after the jump."

[Q] Walkman App Music unlimited problem

Hi there, I purchased a Xperia Z Ultra from Hong kong, its running on android 4.2.2 at the moment, I've updated the walkman app but I can't find the option to sign into music unlimited.
I'm also missing the option in the settings menu to sign into a Sony entertainment account.
Anyone have a clue why?

If you can't see sony entertainment account, go to play store and install it:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sony.snei.np.android.account
You should then see it in the accounts section in settings. Then when you open the walkman app it should auto login to music unlimited. Pretty much all Sony network connections rely on the entertainment account.

That option for doesn't exist on mine, I'm signed into my sony account, I've tried all sorts, re installed the walkman app, factory reset, updated to android 4.3 etc.
Forgot to mention, video unlimited works fine with Movies, its just the walkman app.

Ok.
You could install https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sony.snei.mu.phone
Otherwise, I would personally flash another region rom. Drastic I know but if this is different you may well come across other things later.

The only other thing I can think is to sign into your Sony network account via Web and check the settings in there, perhaps something needs enabling.

Any one has latest TV CATCHUP APK as I can't install it from playstore

When I try to install tv catch up on the playstore it's not showing up anymore. I tried searching everywhere in xda forums and Google but can't find the latest version of it. When I install it, It says it needs latest version which I can't download on playstore anyway. Has anyone got the latest apk file and help me out.
On a side note, Iam loving the xperia z ultra. Seems smaller now then when I first saw it, funny how that works. Anyway I can't imagine myself using a smaller phone now. Unlike the note 2 which I always felt was too small to make me not want a tablet and too big for just having it as a smartphone.
The xperia z ultra feels like a very portable ultra slim tablet with phone capabilities, which saves me carrying around 2 devices

I've noticed some apps missing from app store when build prop identifies the device as 6833 - changing to 6802 (with a build prop editor) often resolves this.

Just did. You need to sign in with one of the accounts listed and then download an app called "Pass". You can then get a code and redeem for movies on video unlimited.

Were you able to download the games? Mine show as redeemed, but not in my download list.
Sent from my D6503 using xda app-developers app
For games download you must install playstation mobile app. Just search in browser and go on Sony website. Films should be in Xperia lounge. And Michael Jackson album should be available from 5.13. for every owner of z2.

I redeemed the movie but I can't find them in the Video Unlimted and if I click on the collection it goes to movie app and there is nothing there too, but if I check my Sony Network , in media section they can be found and there is a download button for them too but if you click on that it will give you a small xpd file that is belong to play station and you can't run it.
since update to 6.2.A.0.8, bought movies only show up,once downloaded.the "online media library" cant be accessed, to download other / rest of movies.
solution a) for now, ive downgraded movies app, and all is working fine again.
better SOLUTION:
Video Unlimited apk has to be installed manually.
Version Video Unlimited 11.0.B.0.4 is mandatory.

Same problem until I update the Xperia launch it was showing the offer and when I click the offer it asking me to update the launch. After update I can't find the movie offers.
Maybe its region specific? I went into lounge, clicked offer, signed in, downloaded app called Pass, received code, redeemed code, all six in my collection in movies app. Wish I could be of further assistance.

i done steps 1-4 but never recieved a code to redeem. if i uninstall updates on lounge i can see the video offer, when i click it tells me to update the lounge to recieve a code, ive uninstalled updates and then tried updating it again 3 times.... just doesnt give me a code
I didn't update lounge. It gave me a link to the Pass app on Play store. Icon looks like a filmstrip and even though I downloaded it, there is no icon in app drawer. It must be one time only video unlimited add on.
