Really don't know what to do. My vita is unplayable now. I can't use it for 10 minutes without getting a hard freeze and when I put it to sleep and on charge I come back to the blue light flashing.
I've had 6 arcade games in a row of virtua tennis and it's frozen every single time.
I've turned off NEAR and auto start applications and it's still the same

try hard reset/reformat... if that doesnt work, then only option is sending it for repair/replacement.
All I could find was this video:

Return it for one that works, just like you would do with any other defective product that you buyReally don't know what to do. My vita is unplayable now. I can't use it for 10 minutes without getting a hard freeze and when I put it to sleep and on charge I come back to the blue light flashing.

Do you have any other games to test?
Screw you Sony!!
WOW, is there any update on when they will release the Orange on !? (I don't care about the other colors).

Awesome! It's cool little stuff like this that I want to see the Live Areas used for.
Someone should make a Minna no Golf 6 OT, I am having so many problems with this game in terms of not knowing what I'm doing because the instructions are crap and there are barely any in game tutorials.
I am trying to figure out how to do the homing shot, as far as I have figured out:
1) You have to hit down on d-pad when deciding impact time (and power??)
2) You have to get close enough to tee for it to trigger homing
3) Using spin club/balls seems to help?
4) Having your character max level unlocks homing as text that appears, but even at Level 1 I am seeing balls do the "burn the grass while moving backwards" thing so I am totally confused
Also, wow I want to unlock Shao-lin as soon as possible LOL. I'm working through Bronze levels now after struggling through Pro, the Bronze ones are getting sadistic "bunker"->"bunker"->"bunker"->"eaten by sand worm hole"

Feeling the same way. No idea how to use any of the spin or homing options. Haven't play the series for a decade, but yeah, even reading every loading screen, I don't know how to USE these things.

It's very fun, but it has gotten really hard and I feel like I can't win because I don't know how to use spins and homing shots, etc. I also feel like I barely get any consolation points when losing, making me feel like I wasted my time. Wish I got more points when losing.
I turned off anything to do with Near and just played tennis for solid 1.5 hours with no crashing so I have a feeling near was making it crash every time it tried to get the location. for the people saying to return it, I'm in Audtralia and wouldnt it be OS issues anyways?
Everything in tennis has double/quadruple shadows.

I think that outside of the white and black Vita, having same colored joysticks looks incredibly tacky.
The purple one looks amazing though.

Huh? What color would you want the sticks be on say, an orange Vita?
Hot Shots Tennis on PSP is amazing.
I love Camelot+Mario Tennis, but Hot Shots Tennis was fucking incredible. Amen to this! So much customization, so many great courts, and wonderful on-the-go tennis. So underrated!

I will hold out for the white to match my psp go, but that fucking red and baby blue? If I wasnt so concerned with accesorising...

White preferably. Or gray, or even black.
Do you really think an Xbox 360 controller would look better if it had a like colored joystick?
Decided to try buying a game off the Japanese PSN Store. Went with Sangoku Musou Next. It's about 1.4GB and took quite a while to download.
Also tried to use it on my U.S. account, and it would not start. I was prompted to redownload the application, which obviously can't be done. So the Vita is exactly like the PSP was locks downloadable games to one account.
I don't mind account switching, as annoying as it is, but this is likely going to be only Japanese title I buy from PSN.

What the hell is this? Is this due to the PSP emulation?

Yes. Emulating inside the PSP emulator.
here's the fixed link:

I'm sure they will patch it somehow

inb4 they remove psp compatibility. maybe sony won't use that as a feature point on their box for NA/EU lol.
One could say, that removing a second OS function on the PS3 would be stupid as well, but hey...
Sorry which options did you disable in NEAR which fixed your issue?
Fortunately/Unfortunately they can't. The best they can hope for is that their PSP mode sandbox is impenetrable.
"Bring on the ISO loaders"
Fuck these stupid pirates, don't even know that it wouldn't be an ISO given Vita games are on cards. I hope they're banished to PSP emulator realm forever!
Sony actually stands to make money off of the PSP emulator, they never earned a cent from keeping other OS.
What about the military buying PS3s so they can have super fast Cell servers running on Linux or something?
Not comparable. Outside a vocal minority no one used OtherOS. Sony never made any money off it, unless you count companies/people that bought PS3s to do number crunching but still that would pale in comparison to what they make off selling digital conversions of PSP games.
Chances are, it isn't impenetrable but likely extremely difficult to break out of. But again... this exploit is actually very easy to patch, Sony just has to fix the affected game on PSN. Once they do that, no one will be able to take advantage of it. PSN downloads are tied to your system/account so they can't be shared either.
Sony sold those PS3s to the military back when they were selling at a loss. One could say OtherOS literally cost them money.

I didn't think the Vita could look any sexier. I'd have trouble choosing between the blue, orange, and white.
Can anyone with their vita near them check something. Put your vita to sleep. Wake it up and at the swipe screen check if you have wireless signal then swipe to the home screen and see if the signal disappears. This is incredibly annoying to me. I don't understand why it disconnects the wireless coming out of sleep for a good 30 seconds when it was clearly connected before swiping...
The two options in settings that say to check automatically and then open near automatically.
