Xperia PLAY :: How To Close 'maps' From Always Running
May 8, 2011
i have recently bought a sony xperia play and whilst looking round the apps and other functions i clicked on maps, i pressed the back button and the page went, but i have noticed my battery doesn't last very long, upon investiation i found the maps app to be using 70% of my battery power but i thought i had closed this app, does any one know how to close it properly or has anyone else had this issue
I just got an Xperia Play and its great, but I'm having a few problems. First, whenever I set the wallpaper, it sticks for a few hours, then eventually just switches back to the default purple wave image. Is this a setting or a problem with my phone?
Also, I've been experiencing some issues when playing certain games (especially Asphalt 6). Some screen will not render correctly and just be splotches of random colors. Also, the game will just random close after it starts to slow down a bit.
After latest update..my google play store force close after some time. Unable to download games..if m downloading after 25-30% progress..play store force close
apparently hitting the home icon on the phone does not close an application necessarily. How do you find out what is running? And how do you close them for good?
I have many apps running in the background. They don't close even if I go to Menu->Close. They keep running in the background. I can see it when I press Alt+Esc. Here are the apps that wont close.

It's happened to me a couple times now. I just got this 9700 and it doesn't even warn me the battery is low, it actually has a bar or two in the battery icon and it just completely dies, so I have to plug it in to the USB and wait 5 minutes for it to start up, THEN it says it has a low battery. The phone has a generic wall charger.
My Sony Ericsson W580i says "Another application is running. Close it, and then start the camera" when I try to use the camera. This started happening out of the blue and I have just used the update service and updated the phone software through my computer successfully but still get this message when I try to use the camera.
I upgraded to Marshmallow over the weekend and the "close all" button is not included in Marshmallow. When I have a list of apps open I need to close them one by one. Is it not possible to close all open apps in one go?
I have a nokia 5800 and the maps service is pretty good (except the waiting for GPS problem).It's a bit impractical for me to test myself, but does anyone know what you can do while the Ovi maps software is on? For example, say I have the GPS set to take me somewhere, can I switch applications to a game or something and still have the voice over of Ovi maps in the background?Also generally, does anyone know if the "Send to phone" feature on the Ovi store (the one you access from the computer) costs money? Or is it free.
I can start Maps for the first time and exit. Then I find the Maps programme is still running but I cannot get back into the program. I use Swiss Manager to try and terminate Maps but it does not terminate. Only solution is to switch off phone and switch on again. Should I delete and reload Maps?
Having problems with Google Play Services constantly running? Auto sync off for ALL of Google services. No location on. But battery stats showing Google Play Services running and cannot stop it. Right now it has used 20%. Wifi showing constantly receiving sending data, not many apps installed, in fact already did a factory reset.
Whenever I run Ovi maps it keep showing me messages saying Memory full close some applications. I cleared history from the browser, moved messages location to mass memory. I checked if I have space on c drive from my laptop I can see that I have 150 MB free out of 276 MB. How I can get rid of this annoying memory full messages?
My message notification tone used to play all the way thru when I received a message now it only plays two seconds then cuts off I have tried changing the tone but they are all the same.
had my play for a few months now and love it. However, when i play Battlefield two and attempt to use both touch pads to move about, the game freezes and locks up until i cease touching the two game pads. FYI, im using the stock launcher and i recently reboot the phone so the stock games were deleted. its a canadian phone on the Rogers network. Should i just bring the phone in?
Is there any way on how to close programs on X8 except on downloading advanced task killer apps? because clicking on the back button could only minimize the program and it could drain the battery fast...
are there any way on how to do it or i will just have to download the adv. task killer on the market? also, are there any apps on how to save the battery of the x8?
I have just recieved my Xperia Play from the repair centre and they exchanged it but the the power key is not working. It's stuck and I can't press it it's gone a bit inside
I phone recently developed a problem with touch screen becomming completely unresponsive. I googled and found its a common fault with Sony Handsets. Now let me explain the list of tasks i did in order to get it back to work but invane 1- Tested a new touchpad 2- Software update 3- Software downgrade 4- Deassembling and reassembling
i think i didn't miss anything but still its not responsive. It does sometimes response but if i do restart battery pull, open back case its unresponsive again. According to my knowledge its not a hardware issue as if its hardware and need new one i already tried that its software issue and it seems that entire screen is selected when i try to neviggate through the gaming keys. I am still unable to belive that sony ericsson has still not provided any fix for the issue. If anyone has any idea or any third party software for screen please advise.
- add a document/pdf file and/or a file stored in my download/other folder, while drafting/forwarding a mail
- download game/ improve location on GPS as it asks compulsorily for a Wi-Fi connection; but I have only 3G data services from my mobile service provider?
I am looking to buy an external speaker to connect to my xperia play, preferably a sony branded one, but definately one that is portable enough to fit in my pocket.I thought I had found the one that fit the bill perfectly when I checked the sony site and found the MS 430 which is supposed to be fully compatible with the Xperia Play (it even doubles up as a phone stand, which is pretty neat).Now the problem is my jack is on the horizontal side of my phone (opposite side to the left flipper) and not on the top end as shown in the picture to connect a phone to this speaker.So therefore the speaker is not compatible with this phone, unless of course I have a unique phone with the jack in the wrong place or the phone is connected in the upright position, which wouldnt be very good when watching video playback.
I just got my Verizon Xperia Play and I love the device but I cannot find the Playstation Pocket app on it or in the market. Where am I supposed to get new playstation games for my phone?
I'm using Xperia ray since late September. Last few weeks, I upgraded my phone to Android 2.3.4 build 4.0.2 A.0.42 via Software Update service (Location: Thailand, if applicable) and installed the recent Facebook v 1.8.0 from the market. Now, I'm having a problem with Facebook application. It always shows "force close" for this application and it will automatically re-open the application. I find this error most of the time when update status, check-in places and upload photos. I can't capture screen because "Phone Options" dialog appears behind the 'force close' dialog.I try to remove facebook account from TimeScape and use Facebook for Android from the market instead but still not help. how to fix this.
