Ok so like i bought this back in feburary, and i love this phone, i love pure android to the fullest and have gotten 7 of my friends to jump to android, But anyway i recently came into a problem, after trying to upload a album to my PS3(Playstation3) i noticed that i encounter a usb problem, which by recovery i fixed, but now theres some sort of problem with downloading apps, when i download it says theres a "Download" error and the app wasnt downloaded, i cant even update apps, I have already been everywhere to search for this problem on the internet so im signed in on gtalk, gmail and every other google app i just have no other apps, besides the angry birds games.....im thinking somethings wrong with the path the apps go to or something...any ideas would be helpful!

Have you rooted your phone? I can assume that's the case.
But if you have:
Backup all the apps you want with titanium backup (Just for ease)
Go into recovery and wipe all data and cahce.
Either keep the rom you have now or flash a new one.
Check to see if it's fixed.
Restore all of the apps you want to with Titanium backup.
Thank me if it works, or curse my name if it doesn't.

It's actually really easy to root Try it out.
I could but i would like to slove this problem first with downloading apps lol!!!
I bought a few games when Gameloft was doing the £1 a throw deal.
All working ok but i got round to starting the last one i got today, NOVA2.
Problem is, when i launch & it requests to download the further 403mb it quits soon after with the error message " The download could not be completed successfully, do you want to try again? "
Doesn't matter how many times I try i get the same error & it usually just starts from the beginning.
I emailed Gameloft support with my receipt but all they did was send me a link to redownload the apk, which hasn't solved the problem at all.
Anyone had the same issue?
Iv got a few gameloft games installed with online capabilities on them and for some reason i keep getting thrown off the multiplayer services when playing them, so maybe it has something to do with their servers?
I doubt it, seems to bug out on me at the same point every time, like, 30seconds into the download.

I had a similar problem. It should continue the download rather than restart from the begining. In the end when it asked me do I want to retry I selected no then restarted the app.
Once you start playing there should be no further issues like this.

Tried that dude but it does bug out literally every 15-30seconds or so, and does restart from scratch after a few tries.

make a post on the gameloft forums, they will then ask for proof of payment then send you the fixed/updated file via email.
I've had 3 games with issues, all work fine now doing the above
http://forum.gameloft.com/index.php
Happens to me all the time too. I generally reboot each time it stalls, and if it still won't work I remove all of the downloaded data from SD card & start afresh.
Pain in the a$$ for sure, I still have Backstab to reinstall & my latest game Starfront finally installed but quits after the intro move
this has happend to me, i got around it by. deleting the SD data for the game off the SD card /sd/gamesloft/games/, then going to manage applications, and deleting the data for the app, then launch the game and do the whole download again

I had that issue but for me it turned out that a 32gb memory card id bought was a fake. fine when I went back to the 16gb that came with the phone.

Tried that, still bugging.
Well, I got an email from Gameloft, basically saying that it must be a problem with my handset, so they've kindly offered to give me a replacement game...
Not much good seeing as I bought all of their games when they were a quid!
I just want to play NOVA2, boo hoo!!

Hello guys,
I don't have crash bandicoot pre-installed on my sd card no more. I'd like to try out using the Native psx emulator developed by yifanlu, but when i run my crash bandicoot, it seems to get stuck on "Updating" and never changes.
I've tried the US version as well, same result. Left it on for over 2 hours and still showing Updating page and nothing moves...
Anyone have any idea what i can do?
Thanks!

Maybe you will have more luck, if you push it back to /system/app where it came from rather than just installing
Thanks for the tip, but I didn't realize that within system/app I already have the same file that you uploaded. So I installed it from that location, but when I try to open it. All it keeps saying is updating... And I don't think it changes? Is it meant to change page to say maybe downloading or something? Is it meant to take ages to download?
This is getting quite annoying =.=
Anymore tips? Or should I just keep leaving it on the updating page?

To be honest for me, when i launch crash, that updating box stays on maybe 1 second then goes
Oh really? Then that means I seriously have something wrong with mine...that's alright thanks for your help! I will try and figure it out...hopefully.
Thanks again!
Any luck on the stuck at updating ? Im having same problem and it will never stop updating!!! Just sits at updating screen for hours
Problem Solved
I went back through and started replacing .apk's i had deleted. I even tried installing crash different ways, put it back into system an still no good, installed to sd card didnt work, installed to system normally didnt work. So when the Syphon Filter didnt work for me either, and I had all the sd files for syphon filter already, but even that said updating. It wasnt crash. There is an app called "preinstalledservice.apk" and idk why but none of the sony playstation game apps would work without it. Just put that .apk back into system apps and change permissions on it. Everything works great now, oddly enough the preinstalledservice.apk also has a weird looking icon... I attached it below, almost like its smiling with razor like teeth just because it knew I was gonna need it back in system lol....
Is your phone unlocked? I read somewhere that if your phone is unlocked then you lose drm support...since unlocking my phone I have not been able to download any new xperia games.....

yea, I have an unlocked bootloader, everything still downloads fine. it only stopped working if i deleted the "preinstalledservice.apk"

Interesting...... On another forum someone mentioned how Sony said a long time ago the emulator will work on Tegra 2 (which it does, as in the Sony S1 tablet). However you would think ok then why wouldn't it work on any Tegra 2 phone, well the Playstation Certification of course. But what could that entail? Simply a build.prop modification? Based on this maybe not, maybe this .apk is specific to hardware to make sure that its running on PS Certified devices only.
Just my theory....

I would have to agree with you because without that apk I couldnt run anything. And when Syphon Filter 1 or 3 opened and froze at updating , I knew it had to be something missing on my phone because the Syphon Filters weren't released for xperia play on verizon, So they didnt need to update anything because I already had the files needed and they were modified to work on any xperia play model/carrier.

i cant find this file, when i download it its a _apk_downloader_exe, need help should have read ahead. now i can put this apk back in system/app. Can some one help me.
Im ok
I fixed it Thanks to mills00013 he has all the stuff you need if u got an Xperia Play (r800x..,).I love this Forum!
May have been answered before but searching didn't bring anything up for me. Basically I want to clear the data backed up on my Google account regarding Android (WiFi, Market apps, Settings, etc) so I can start again.
Anyone know how to do it?
OK, managed to find somewhere that if you go into your Privacy settings and uncheck the backup option it says it'll delete everything. Is this correct?
Erm I think so eddy I used to untick it when first install and everythibk would be clear
For reference, the above doesn't work. Tried clearing the lot, wiped all data and reflashed my ROM and it still restored my apps, etc...quite annoying really. I mean, its good, but if you wanna start from a clean slate it would seem you can't!
Erm ok soz buddy

That's OK mate! I'll find a way I'm sure
Quick edit: Turning off backup DOES delete settings relating to the phone but NOT the Market. Must be a separate backup which I can't find!
EDIT: OK, sign into your Google Dashboard and you can see what's backed up and when but you CANNOT delete it. Why the hell not?!?!

Hi,
Is it one of those situations where they have you by the short and curlies,and will not let you go?
Maybe the only way is to open a new account?
I seem to remember AOL being the same...
Bloody well hope not! I've emailed Google so we'll see what comes of it but surely if you delete an app it should NOT come back the next time!
On a related note, anyone know why some apps I install are NOT listed under 'My Apps'? I'm guessing it's linked to my account somehow but, again, it's annoying!
Erm depends if they where downloaded from Google it self or if sourced from some where else they won't show up I should know
If u have titanium backup go to
Menu/more/market doctor and it will fix broken links to Google market

They're all from the Market, but I'll try the TI option, thanks
EDIT: I'm not paying for an app I'll never use, but thanks anyway. Funny how the old Market never had this issue. just the new one
Haha yes yes I agree old market was fantastic
Yes i do try before I buy if I like the app then buy

Randomly enough, it seems to have worked anyway! It said I may have to 'download any app' to get it up to scratch and, seeing as Superuser needing updating, I did it. It now shows all Market apps in My Apps!
Yh I did it I was playing around and now I have like 20 updates but can't update them.as there ermmmm not from Google

What can the problem of this?
Thank you
Get that malware off the device.
It's a multi vector security risk.
If you must go there use browser logon only.

Well you see what it's doing.
Probably bad coding or needs updating.
Try clearing it's cache. Clear system cache if you have that option.
Clear app data or uninstall then reinstall.
One reason I never have malware issues is because no social media apps are ever installed on my devices. WhatsApp is a huge bullseye target for hackers, scammers, phlishers... and they're quit creative.
Yes I understand but even after the clear cache and reinstall the app...overnight nothing is change..
So there is nothing to do?!
