Hey guys, I am considering bailing on my fascinate for a play. If you would be so helpful as just to reply yes or no if you believe thee play would be a better phone. Thanks!
Edit: My sincere apologies for the wrong section, just noticed. Mods please move to general.

Everyone i know with an atrix or optimus are not impressed lol

I Came from the i9000, the only thing better about that was the screen.
There is no lag like the Samsung it juts works in fact it all just works strictly speaking we dont need a custom rom on this as it's pretty good as stock (not that we arnt trying of course)
So if you love games buy it, if you like games buy it, if your not bothered about games dont buy it.

Of course ! Go get it
If you won't miss the much better screen of the Fascinate, the Play is a very good choice. It has a very solid Interface without much fluff, is developer-friendly, has awesome gaming controls, solid (not great) cameras and good GPS. The screen however isn't all that great. It has good colors, but the maximum brightness is pretty crappy, it's not very visible in sunlight and the picture sometimes 'drags' a little. Nothing that would ruin the run, but it's noticeable.

I agree, the play is great for gaming but it is lacking in power compared to some of the latest phones.
My buddy got a free play and let me play with it 4 a night. If your a gamer, the controller is a serious selling point. On my desire hd, gaming is fun but touch screen sucks. On the play, I was loving gaming. Played ocarina of time. Set the controls to hardware and left the c buttons on screen. Ran smooth too. Same with final fantasy 9 on fpse. No lag at all. I get lag on my desire hd which is overall a better phone spec wise
Maybe it has a better video card? Or its optimized 4 gaming so specs mean nothing.

i have a desire HD too and agree GPU performance is better on the play, quallcomm said it developed more mature adreno drivers for the play, maybe once the play is hacked, a dev like snq could port the play drivers to the DHD
Adding in another yes, mine just came in the mail today. After spending the night with it I am absolutely pleased with my purchase. Finally, I can game properly on my phone. It's a really responsive phone, too. Gingerbread is snappy on this thing.
Yes!
Play is a really good phone, I love it`s controls and on stock firmware it really is good unlike with some other phones I have had where I just wanted to change to a custom rom because of them being boring or buggy.
Play may not have as powerful a processor as some other smart phones, but it`s gpu makes up for it and gives the power it needs for great gaming.
Sony do need to get their asses in gear for the Playstation releases though, right now their line up is crap and not getting much update.

apart from the Dual core tegra 2, the quallcomm scorpion is the most powerful CPU on the market, infact it's its GPU adreno 205 witch lacks in power

I downloaded Abduction! and was really surprised to see it lag and "jitter" in anything but graphics settings to the lowest. Do you experience this too? It's a south east asia legend if that might contribute to differences.
Yes me too. It's a shame that a 2d platformer runs choppy on a 600 mhz processor, programmers should optimize it a little

Current have an Inc, Hoping to switch soon. Just wondering, how is performance in 3d applications and gaming? Specifically N64oid. Thanks!

I don't have tons of info for you, but I can tell you this... N64oid wouldn't work at all on my fascinate, I could hear sound but no video at all.... Goldeneye 007 (the only game I really care about lol) plays on my tb, but it is a lil choppy, but the app is also very young so I think that has something to do with it....

True. It was also pulled from the market until the dev could improve it.
Would you mind trying Orcarina of Time? It runs about 70% speed on the Inc.

Super Mario 64 Runs Smooth Too. The Graphics are good enough. Way better than old gen Snapdragons SoC for shure. better than Droid X and on par or Near Galaxy S from what people say (Seems bout right to me too). Also to guy with Fascinate, Games worked good for me on my old fascinate. Maybe it depends on game.
I'm coming from the inc, and the performance is much better. Easiest way to tell is by using a live wallpaper. They are much smoother now with the better gpu.

Agreed! The nearest competitor will be the Galaxy Ace...
But the amount of RAM available is too little compare to O1.
So, i still prefer myO1 =)
Remember this: You get what you pay for.
replying directly to your question, no, optimus one doesnt lag when playing HD games
I play Need For Speed shift smoothly as butter on my phone and I love my phone so much
so enjoy the O1 it is really much more worthy than its prices
This phone is the best in his price range but obviously you can't compare it to an high-end phone like nexus one... just you have to know that there's no flash player support...

it's just because angry birds are overloaded with particles.. they have to calculate every boxes, wood etc's complete physical movement, but if you wait for ~10secs after loading a level, all things will be smoothier
and i guess ther isnt only angry birds are HD, those gameloft games are working so well because they have the preload mechanism

Thank you mate for quick reply

Honest one, it lags when you are on stock, and lags in Angry Birds too, but not on every level, just those big levels with lots of object. And it does better than Wildfire, which i intend to buy before i made my research.
Anyway, i wanna say that, my phone can run NFS Shift smoothly, which i don't expect it previously[on stock kernel and rom man!]!.
So, enjoy your O1, it is a great phone, with superb all rounder stats.
i play asphaly5, nfs shift, eternal legacy, assassins creed, dungen hunter, gangster, gangster2, hero of sparta smoothly
and avatar and brothers in army with little lag
I'm using Mik's CM7 MOD, and while everything runs much better than on stock, I still get lag on heavier games..
Overall though, good phone!

Use Fullwiped Overclocked GingerDX v019+ alfs v03 krenel! It's the best combination.I have 1900 in Antutu.
Or just connect to the same wifi as your friend's i****, and use WiFiKill or droidsheep. After success, just ask him that can he do this wit his "huge" performance
Then ask him how many cash did he throw out of the window. Man, X8 is now a low end and really cheap phone, and in some points it is still better than any iphones!

Any rom is better than iBrickwiththescreen
The X8 is better than iPhone 3G, even with 2.1 stock ROM.
And with a custom ROM it's better than iPhone 4. You know why?
Because iOS fails as OS. No bluetooth free connectivity, no WiFi connectivity to open networks, you can't freely manipulate your files/documents, etc. You need to jailbreak to do all that things, but in Android you can do all that with or without rooting.
Thank you for this tips but he still says that X8 and android doesnt support spme of the best games for iPhone if someone could give me the names of two ot three games,he should asy that android is better.
also he payed 900 USD for iPhone 3GS
Well...the best game would be

With the latest ICS the phone can barely manage 2000 quadrant, so top end games are always going to lag. Even temple run stops and starts and lags sometimes for me, not to mention the crappy crackling sound.
..forcing dual core and setting the governor to performance helps a bit, but it's still not up to par where an S3 should be.
But I know it's possible since on my GSM version when putting some of the old GB mui based roms on I could get 4000+ quadrants with a bit of overclocking and games ran noticeably better.
My guess is because the screen is 3D capable it's not as efficient as other phones even when running in 2D, so HTC throttled the crap out the cpu/gpu/mem-bandwidth to equalise the battery drain.

Some ppl complain at ICS performance in games. Benchmarks dont tell **** cause every phone has lower scores at ICS I think. Look at galaxy nexus.
With this screen thing its interesting, but for me either my phone is faulty, or there are some drivers issues. I have 5+5 mpix gsm version, so that maybe its worse or sth.

Forcing dual core?how? Do you mean our dual core processers only work under one core?
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515m using xda app-developers app

zcink said:
by default the way its supposed to work is, the first core is always on, running to run apps and system. The second core is supposed to kick in on demand. When what you are running demands more, the second core is supposed to kick in.
This worked well on GB roms because thats the way they wrote the code. It was designed that way.
On ICS roms, there are ways to turn on both cores. There is a patch. There are some apps. The best one I've found is system tuner pro. You can set it to turn on both cores on completed boot and they will always be on.
This kicks up the performance of the phone significantly. However, there goes your precious battery life.
The EVO 3D has a pretty powerful dual core processor. Without it, the 3D would be totally useless.

Thanks for your explanation. But I am still confused about one thing. Do you mean the cellphone running ICS rom tuns on both of two cores when it completes boot? And no matter what I run, it always keep dual core running? If it was, the cellphone would spend more energy than GB rom.and generates more heat.....

zcink said:
That all depends on what rom you are using. Some developers have init.d edited to where both cores are always on. Or they've applied the patch to do so. By default, ICS is supposed to do the same as GB where the first core is on and the second is supposed to kick in on demand. I just feel that GB did a better job at managing it this way.
Chad Goodman always recommended turning on both cores and leaving them on in ICS as you will always get the best performance possible. Personally I like the option to turn em on if I want to with system tuner pro or leave only the first core on to save on battery life.
Chad had a very good explanation of this - how it works - even how to edit the file yourself. I just did a search for it and it appears to be gone.

But these games should work nice on stock. See the htc sensation which has the same hardware. Many ppl say it runs games much better than evo. Games that I play the most often are mc3, nova3, gta3. They should work nice on evo, as they run ok on single core phones.
