In depicting what its telephones are prepared to do, Sony says: "Remember not to use the device underwater." To receive an IP68 rating, a phone must be able to withstand liquid under pressure for "long periods." It needs to remain sealed down to 100 feet (30.5 meters) of water for 24 hours.

Sony is simply attempting to set desires and prevent you from nullifying your warranty, regardless of the possibility that it sort of contradicts past advertising battles.

How to Install Android 4.0 ICS Beta On Sony Xperia Play

Sony’s Xperia line of smartphones is, in my humble opinion, one of the more underrated Android smartphones. Sony’s custom Timeline user-experience on top of Android 2.3 Gingerbread is one of the best in the business and the company offers great support to the development community in the form of giving them unlocked bootloaders and kernel sources.

Sony, as a matter of fact, is so supportive of the development community that they are, as far as I know, the first Android company to release “beta” versions of upcoming versions of Android. That’s what the company has done: released a beta version of Android 4.0 ICS for their Xperia Play handset. Check out our step-by-step guide on how to install it after the jump!

XperiaPLAY-ICSbeta

There are some caveats involved, though. Firstly, you will have to unlock your bootloader which will void your warranty. Secondly, if you flash this beta version, you won’t get the official update from Sony and will have to manually flash it again. Lastly, Google Mobile Services apps such as Gmail, Google Maps and Face Unlock aren’t included since they are in the certification process.

DISCLAIMER: SanjeevRules will not be held responsible if you lose data or your device gets damaged in the following of this guide. Proceed at your own risk.

Step 1: Check to see if your Xperia Play is on firmware 4.0.2.A.0.42. If it isn’t, try updating it from Sony’s PC Companion software.

Note that you cannot try out this beta unless you are on the aforementioned firmware.

Step 2: Unlock your Xperia Plays’ bootloader by following instructions from the official website. [Link]

Step 3: Download ICS Beta for Xperia Play [Official Webpage] after carefully reading the terms and conditions.

Step 4: Place the downloaded file in your fastboot directory on your computer and extract the contents of the .zip file using a suitable software (we recommend 7-zip). Fastboot directory will be under the Android SDK directory.

Step 5: Using fastboot, enter the following commands:

fastboot flash boot ..\Fastboot\Xperia_PLAY_ICS_beta\boot.img

fastboot flash userdata ..\Fastboot\Xperia_PLAY_ICS_beta\userdata.img

fastboot flash system ..\Fastboot\Xperia_PLAY_ICS_beta\system.img

Be sure to replace the bolded text with correct path to each file!

Step 6: After flashing is complete, reboot your Xperia Play.

If you followed the steps correctly, your Xperia Play will boot into a beta version of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. For queries, comments and suggestions check out the official webpage over on Sony Mobile.

PlayStation 4 “Orbis” Reportedly Arriving In 2013 For The Holiday Season

Although there has been much talk with regards to future consoles of Nintendo and Microsoft, Sony has stayed relatively adrift of media coverage.

Nintendo has been decidedly open about its future plans, with the Wii U launching later this year, and although Redmond-based software maker Microsoft hasn’t let much on to the public, there has been plenty of coverage, with the consensus being that there will be two separate consoles releasing at different times.

Kotaku has gotten its hands on alleged details of the PlayStation 3 successor, code named Orbis, which, if the report is to be believed, will be released during the holiday period of next year.

playstation-logo

As The Verge points out, the ‘Orbis’ pseudonym may not necessarily be dropped by the time the new console launches, since "Orbis Vitae" (i.e. PlayStation Vita) is Latin for "circle of life". In an age where every device comes attached with some form of cryptic meaning or play on words (in Apple’s case, terrible puns), the Orbis moniker may be one Sony wishes to keep on board.

Anyhow, enough about names and words, since these are negligible issues to the hardcore (and even casual) gamer. Purported hardware includes an AMD x64 CPU and AMD Souther Islands GPU capable of chugging out 4096 x 2160. In industry terms, those kind of numbers fall into the 4k resolution.

The report keeps an open mind as to whether the Orbis will distribute games through Blu-ray discs or PSN downloads, but our better judgment suggests the latter to be the more likely outcome. Nonetheless, as is rumored to be the case with future Xbox consoles, the Orbis will more than likely lock titles to PSN accounts – adding a further nail into the coffin of the used game market.

PS4

Only earlier this week, UK retailer GAME, which relies heavily on used games in order to keep the bottom line in place, sank into administration, and with the used-game market being eradicated altogether by the console vendors, the future certainly looks bleak for GAME and others like them.

But I digress, what do you make of this Orbis talk – could Sony really be preparing a console for as early as next year, or do the rumors seem fabricated? Please share your thoughts with us via Facebook or Google+!

Two new Sony Xperia handsets leaked

Sony is expected to release two new Xperia smartphones at MWC, devices which have been leaked online recently. The Japanese giant showed off the Xperia S and Ion ahead of CES this year, devices that were leaked repeatedly in the last quarter of 2011.

In the leaked images, two devices can be seen, codenamed Sony Xperia Nypon and Xperia Kumquat. Both devices are thought to be powered by the new ST-Ericsson NovaThor U8500 chipset.

The Xperia Nyphon will apparently bear a 4-inch 960x540 pixel Reality display, an 8MP camera with 1080p HD video recording capability. The Xperia Kumquat, thought to be the successor to the Xperia mini, will bear a 3.5-inch 854x480 pixel display, and a 5MP camera with 720p HD video recording.

Of course, specs of the leaked devices will have to be taken with a pinch of salt – we’ll get to know more details at MWC next month.
