We knew it was coming, and now it’s finally here: the HTC EVO 4G LTE is now officially PlayStation certified, meaning the latest EVO now has exclusive access to PlayStation mobile games that only a handful of other HTC, Sharp, and Sony devices currently have.
Other devices that were recently certified include the HTC One X+ and the One XL (i.e. the AT&T One X).
However, there’s one caveat – even though the EVO is listed as officially certified, the service doesn’t work on the phone quite yet. That’s because, according to the official list of certified devices, the EVO has to be running Android 4.1 or higher, and as we know, the EVO is currently stuck at Android 4.0.4.
It’s unlikely that Sony’s intent is to encourage everyone to root and flash a Jelly Bean custom ROM, so we should probably take this as further evidence that a Jelly Bean update is indeed right around the corner for the EVO 4G LTE, although we still don’t have the exact time frame yet. Someone at Sony probably just jumped the gun a little early.
In any case, once that update finally does roll around, you’ll be able to get all the PlayStation mobile games you want!
[PlayStation via Phandroid] Thanks, Terrell and Don!
Solomon that’s why it wasn’t working for. Oh well ill just restore my jellybean Rom.
Android 4.0.4: Playstation not found
Paul, it’s not in the Play Store. You have to download it from the source link.
I think you missed the punchline.
Yep. Lol
Doesn’t work with cm10
HTC just needs to get their heads out of the gutter and see whats going on…apparently other manufacturers don’t understand the delay in updating this FLAGSHIP device either…
As of yesterday I cashed in my LTE for a Galaxy Note II. Jelly Bean is AWESOME and there is SO much this phone can do
There is literally nothing that phone can do that Evo 4g lte can’t do lol. But guess what you cannot use PlayStation mobile.
Really? Split screen, cropping from web, drag and drop clipboard, S-pen, activate camera by voice, waking phone by voice, waking phone from proximity, NFC/SBEAM…..oh yeah, and JELLY BEAN LOL… All joking aside, I have ALWAYS been an EVO fan since day one and have had every phone in the EVO lineup. The LTE was a GREAT phone! I just got tired of being put off without updates and having to deal with that TERRIBLE lag issue. I just wanted to try something new. Don’t worry though, I change phones like I change my underwear, so as soon as the next EVO comes out, I will be first in line
We can do all those things with free apps from the play store. Plus I would rather have a camera button. The only thing we Dont have is the pen. I do have jellybean BTW. But I am just sick of Evo owners complaining so much about this phone cause I love it. Sorry If I snapped lol.
Except for SVDO which is kind of important to me.
^^^ was intended to be a reply to Ryan.
Any list of the games that would be available or can be played, once JB comes out?
Awesome, my tip made it.
Just installed the psm apk and the fix for the 8008103E error I initially received when I opened the app. Able to get into app with no issues thereafter. I just had to create a sony acct since I didn’t have one.
@Joel M. What fix did you apply for the 8008103E error?
Hmm, good news. I guess I had assumed Sony had a hardware requirement that was built into the certified phones. I guess not.
@taz88ny I used this http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390113915771290046 flash it from recovery
i tried flashing from recovery and i get failed..
Worked for me on cm10
