Hey everyone, I seem to be having difficulty using the Xperia play live wallpapers on the Xperia z... After installation they just display really awful purple blocks instead of the lwp...
Was wondering if anyone else experienced this issue as well? I figure it's just incompatible, but I want to be sure.
Thanks in advance

Well I´ve tried so many things. I even was able to install the playstation pocket app. But it displays everything not optimized. Of course because it uses another Resolution. If you want a cool Wallpaper with those Ps3 PSP Styles then use this app from Google Play. The Ps3 Theme is definitely the best one. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=wave.paperworld.wallpaper&hl=en
Nexus 5 front Camera only records video up to 720p! What a shame! I hope it get's a mod to record 1080P for video chats...
FYI: everybody knows that.
Thanks for sharing though.

And I'm sure it's a grainy 720p. Front cameras are always turds.

Yup, Nexus 5 front facing camera video recording sucks....I was hoping it records 1080p now. Cuz it's new and Google didn't even pointed that one.
I saw a Chinese phone commercial with a 10 or 13 MP front facing camera with wide angle lens and BSI, I wonder if we got those innovations in US markets,,,I love taking selfie photos and skype video chat or hangouts. It would be a great option.
Seriously getting so sick of all these complaint threads.

Doesn't really matter what the front camera resolution is for video chat apps. Skype and hangouts will compress your video to 480p levels and lower so your 1080p camera is practically useless unless you take selfies and video through the actual Camera app.

Agreed. Tried video chat with my wife aver Hangouts and it was subpar with her on a mobile connection. I'd rather have 480P or less and it actually be a video chat than a web cam chat from 2001.

"Camera
1.3MP front facing"
1280x720=921600 or .92MP
1920x1080=2073600 or 2.07MP
Which one of those numbers fits within the bounds of 1.3MP? Google made it pretty clear.

Not really! Skype supports Full HD video chat and it will only get crappy"compressed" if you have bad internet connections or the the WiFi speed can't support large data bandwidth for HD videos.

As far as I am aware, Skype for Android does not support HD video. Skype for desktop supports Full HD video and I believe Skype for iPad/iPhone supports HD video.

What you are thinking abut is the Oppo N1, a 5.9 inch phablet with a rotating camera. No company is going to put a 13MP font facing and back facing camera into a phone (at least not yet). For one it wouldn't fit not to mention the N1 is a $580 phone and you are comparing it to a 350-400$ phone.

Quit using the price as an excuse for everything, the nexus costs the same to build as pretty much every other phone. The reason it costs less than other devices is that Google is a marketing company so they save on those costs and they lower their profit margins compared to Apple and Samsung. This isn't the place to discuss this but im getting sick of reading "what did you expect? Its a $400 device"
Heck, some of the people in this forum would argue its fine for a $350 Nexus device to not even make calls since its only $350.

Has anyone figured out how to play youtube videos at a higher resolution than 1080p? If I open a youtube video that says its 4k, and tap on the settings gear in the app the highest option I get is 1080p. Any ideas?
I don't think the YouTube app has 4k capabilities yet

Just need the updated youtube apk from this post: http://www.reddit.com/r/LGG3/comments/2mxo74/youtube_5185_has_2k/ confirmed working on my N6
I am looking for a good camera app that supports live photos (like iOS) with sound not just video. I know the Samsung camera app has motion but no sound included. What do you suggest? I have seen live photos on iOS. I am using Camera MX but are there other camera apps that support this.

Did you ever find an app? Are you able to backup camera MX somewhere online or does google photos support it?
Is it possible with default camera app?
Thanks!!
+1 on this, have been searching everywhere and nothing.
+2 Been searching for that too
+3, interested if there is an official way. Photosphere on Gcam mod works, that's 360
They got rid of the Surround Shot feature so it wouldn't compete with the Gear 360
I have the APK but I couldn't get it to launch
