[Q] Xperia Play - Xperia PLAY app doesn't open every time?

---

My Xperia PLAY app opens when I slide open my game pad like normal, but only every so often. It's not a surefire thing. Anybody have any idea why or how I can get it to open every time I open the gamepad? Thanks.

It only opens when you slide when the phone is on the home screen. If your phone was on any other screen (browser, messaging, etc) it won't come up.

I had that issue once. Then realized the xperia play application was stored on my sdcard. If that is the case move it to internal. Now mine worn when I open my gamepad

Thanks that explains a lot. Know of any way in making it override and open any time I slide out my gamepad? Thanks.

That's actually a good idea. I should try to move my app to sd. Any benefit besides freeing up space?

Doubtful, you'd need to reprogram the app. I think some people have modded versions out there but I'm not sure, you'd have to look through the dev section.

Hes saying don't move it to SD, then it won't open at all. And its a tiny app so you won't free up much space.

Thanks. Much obliged.
