If you don't think 3D is something you are going to use there is only really one choice phone and that's the Galaxy S2, I certainly wouldn't get the Sensation or arc over that phone its far far better in every way.
Having had a Sensation for a week and sent it back as I thought it was poor, had the GS2 which was mint phone but I sold it as I wanted a 3D phone and very happy with it, can't say how long I will use it mind might get the Iphone 5 when its out .

I like gaming on the phone but not sure what the battery drain is like also like watching movies are you able to just press the 3d button and it will change any movie to 3d or does it have to be shot in 3d

You can convert videos to 3D but the effect sometimes doesn't come out good.

But is it any better than the O3D itself doing the conversion?
I tried a few video files and they have to be a good resolution for the 2D to 3D to work on the O3D itself. However it does work really really well.

Why doesn't my phone interact with my gaming console?

So I have a phone and a gaming console.... Why don't they talk to each other?

My WP7 and my Xbox 360 communicate quite well. Perhaps you're using the wrong platform.

Perhaps he wants free online and a better multimedia console. Perhaps he is intelligent and realizes the added cost of the PS3 is more worth it because you end up paying more for x box live and you get more in a PS3. Perhaps he likes to customize his device instead of being anal about how smooth the settings menu is. Perhaps it takes more to fulfill him than a bunch of tiles thought up by a microsoft employee's small child.

Or perhaps he likes speed, fluidity, and doesn't have to make it out as though icons are something profound opposed to tiles. I don't have to make excuses, my OS fulfills his need, yours does not. That answers the thread.

And what if he has a PS3? Then your idea is pointless.
Edit: and android has widgets, not sure where you got the idea that icons were the best we had.

Cool, my tiles achieve the same effect and don't look mismatched and force close on me.
If he has a ps3, an ecosystem clearly wasn't his concern.

You seriously love anything from microsoft. I sometimes wonder if your bill gates
But no all your post does is say an xbox is better (I have had both and if you use a platform specific game rather than a ported one ps3 easily beats xbox 360). The answer to his question is to use a media streaming app.

The G2x p999 does have a radio chip inside, but it is not connected. It will never work.

So can't we connect it manually.....Any hack or something....I know a hack for NFC but the radio thing is killing me!!!!!

Not without knowing the pinning. CANNOT be done without opening the G2x and solder the pins with wire. But again knowing what pins to solder where. This has been asked and answered many times in the past.

Why would they put the chip in and not connect it?

lol, that was my reaction: "because they can"
It's likely something dumb like they can't get licensing in the US to allow it to function because it produces too much EMI and it's cheaper to just stick it there than rewrite the installation process (of course there is the factor of it needing o be soldered in which does fit). If you really want to know, try asking LG. And if you, post the conversation here.

So There is no work around also?????

If you still haven't got the hint from all the replies, then here is the definite answer:
NO.

Remember That there is always a way.....if the devs would have the attitude then we would get CM7 also by now!!!!

We already have CM7??
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

Let me be a bit clearer: There is NO hardware in the phone to make it work. A ROM or any piece of software won't magically make the missing hardware appear.
If you still don't understand this, well, good luck.

MirrorOP app

Guys and Gals of XDA, I think I've found the Holy Grail for the Xperia Play:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.awindinc.sphone2tv&hl=en
A little app called MirrorOP Sender. Fully functional Android display mirror to PC and it runs fairly well.
Just played the first level of Super Mario Bros with only 1 death...Streamed from my Play to my PC connected to my TV through HDMI
All you need is the MirrorOP Receiver for the PC and you're good to go:
http://www.mirrorop.com/product_Windows_Receiver.html
The sender app is only a trial but it's worth a test. I'm not sure if the framerate is connected to how good your internet connection is. My internet isn't that good and it displays fine (portrait and landscape) but from some American speedtests I've seen maybe some of the Americans in here might have better results

Going to give ago. If works, extremely good find :thumbup:
Sent from my LT26i using XDA

Not bad, not bad at all! Excellent find!

Just found out you can also do it the opposite way as well if you get the MirrorOP receiver for your Play and Sender for PC
Runs brilliantly and means I can still access my desktop from the comfort of the toilet

Root only.
Awwwww

lags, dont know why

Tried it out will be perfect if it didn't lag..... Atleast for games and videos ..... But displaying pictures are ok enough......

Not worth paying for yet as just to slow for games. Can test out first as the apps are free for demo time. But this does have lots of potential in the long run. Still early days yet but if see how good splashtop is, this app good just be as good and fast with some more work done to it.

Infrared.

Finally getting this feature back. I miss the days when I was in school with my pocket PC. I was constantly messing with the teachers by turning off/on the TV and changing channels. I also used to jack with friends by copying the ir in their garage remote and open and close their garage. Anybody else happy to see this return?

Yes! I was so disappointed when ir was removed from devices. I understand there are better alternatives for most thing you use it for, but its like everyone completely forgot about the ir being used as a remote control. Whoever realized this and put it back in phones God bless them.

You'll have the option to select the TV's make and model from a list and it will auto tune the frequency for you. It will work with all kinds of TV's smart, dumb, HD, 4:3, etc... Can't wait for this one!
Hopefully cable providers will take advantage of this and offer apps that can control the cable box as well.
