[Q] Incompatible apps

Apologies for the noobish question, I've searched the forums and googled etc.. and not found the answer to my question...
This is my first Android phone, so I'm still getting my head around how things work - quite a few major apps are not compatible with the XZ, is this just because it's a new phone and apps need to be adjusted to work with new handsets? And if so, how long does it take in general for an app to be made compatible? (eg. Angry Birds Star Wars which is a huge game, isn't compatible, I assume this will change in the near future?)
I know it is possible to download programs to bypass incompatibilities, but I don't want to jailbreak (or whatever you fancy Android types call it) my phone just yet.
Sorry if this is a dumb question/answered somewhere else and I'm being totally blind - please lock the thread if so!

Did not know that, thanks. Is this a general update that needs to be done by Google, or do we have to wait until every developper updates their app to 1080p resolution?

No it's not Google's problem. We will all have to wait for the app to be updated by the developer.
So there is no ETA. I wanted to play NFS Most Wanted but couldn't

another incompatible apps
hi guy, WECHAT, i tried downloading in both my wife and mine xperia z. It works fine in normal messaging but once voice chatting is involved, the apps sometimes stop responding, and the mic fails. only when turning the speaker on the mic works fine. Need to restart the phone then everything is normal.

oh my god, so as long as the dev did not update the software, its forever incompatible with xperia z?

Waiting for Angry Birds Star Wars, NFS MW, Plants vs Zombies, Candy Crush Saga and Tapatalk HD... :fingers-crossed:
I don't hold too much hope for the EA games though as NFS Shift & Plants vs Zombies still aren't compatible with my 18 month old Sony Tablet S

You mean the Sony Select app? For some reason that app doens't let you search for apps, so it isn't that useful, unless I'm wrong of course.

NOt sure if I'm doing something wrong, but I don't have such app on my XZ. When I look for it in the Play store, I can find an official PlayStation app, but this just seems to be an info app to promote games for PS2/PSP.

The app "ChatON" is also incompatible it says on google play/store. But thatsnot true, beouse if you downlaod the apk file an dcopyed to the phone then you are able to install it and use it as normal, so strange that its says incompatibel in google's app store. Im now runing the ChatON newest version, I love this app as me and all my friends use it as they have S3 mobiles. Im the first now that have got the sony xperia Z. My first inpresson will come later in a post I can write it in if I find a section to write my first impresion in.

Candy Crush Saga is also listed as incompatible on the Play Store. But if you download and install the apk, it works fine.

Stop "Throwing" to Blu Ray Player

Just got my XZ and was playing around in the album. I decided to have a look at the Throw menu option and was pleased to see an option for my Blu Ray Player. So I press it and it ends my viewing of Game of Thrones but then links perfectly via wifi
However, I can't disable this and each time I view something "Throwable" it again interrupts my Game of Thrones How can I stop this now? Short of restarting the phone, as I'm trying to run the battery down to then get a full charge.

Settings -> Xperia -> Throw settings

Perfect
Kinda off topic but, would it be possible to remove just some of the Sony software while keeping others? Or if I were to download a debloated rom, could I then put back some small items like this "Throwing" to Sony devices?
Or does the Sony suite all act together?
I know the media remote for Blu Rays is available in the market, but what of the other stuff?
Any feedback would be appreciated

Haha I happened to do this while my kids we're watching a blue ray, they wasn't impressed
Sent from my Xperia Z using Tapatalk 2

Haha, we just have to press buttons...
Were we able to do this because our Blu Ray players are Sony? Or is it a standard like dlna?
Also, did you try mirroring your screen? Mine wouldn't connect. On the videos they showed pairing via nfc to a bravia remote, but I don't have a bravia tele so I was hoping to do it via the Blu Ray player.

You'd be amazed how much Sony is contributing to Android in terms of DLNA...
Even on the current android tablets, you can use them as a wifi keyboard to type in the Tv screen, etc

Not only tablets, you can download Sony Media Remote on any android device and use it to type I used it to YouTube stuff on my Blu Ray player on my old x10
