Xperia PLAY :: Stock Android Camera Software Is Terrible
Jun 23, 2011
I know many of us did not buy this phone for its camera capabilities, but given that this is part of the Xperia line, it's disappointing that this phone did not ship with at least the X10's imaging software. Sony Ericsson was content to put their on touch on many areas of the device, yet, they decided to NOT touch one of worst pieces of Android. Would anyone else have liked SE to tweak the camera software? I wasn't expecting Arc-status, but I also wasn't expecting such a low-quality experience on such a "high-end" device.
I have tried in vain to try and import bookmarks into the Android Stock browser. I have tried various apps such as CMarks, XMarks and others but with no luck. Yes I have Dolphon Browser and Friefox but would like to use the Android Stock broswer for bookmaks.. I have heard some somes have the impoting of boomarks disabled on the stock browser, is this true for the xperia pro?
I want to update my software to the latest officail available version. Doing so will delete all the stock games too? For example FIFA, Bruce lee dragon warrior. For games I have installed from market I have taken backup.
i just got my xperia play today en i got everything working 3g,wifi etc.The only problem is i cant download anything from the market, it just stays on starting download while downloading through external sites is working fine.
While downloading anything from the android market the downloading starts and stops automatically whithout showing any message/error.I am not able to download anything from the android market.what to do now??
Whenever my WIFI is on, my gallery where the images and videos are located won't display. But when I turn off my WIFI, the images and videos display seems fine. Any idea what could have caused this and how to fix it? I won't be able to share photos, videos since I can't view them whenever my WIFI is on.
Also, my Android Market App where you tick going to the Android Market site is not working. It just says loading. Of course this is with my WIFI on.
Just thought I'd share a load of great emulators I've found for SNES, NeoGeo, etc. written by ExPlusAlpha (not sure if it's one guy or a team).I guess that a lot of these are ports of Open Source emulators, so they're free and the ones I've tested run very smoothly.I've tried various SNES emulators over the last few months (inc. SNESDroid and SNESoid) but the SNES 9X Ex is by far the best I've found, and it's free!For some reason these emulators are not on the Android Market so your need to go to ExPlusAlpha.com to download.Definately worth checking out.
I have receive the new update from sony ericsson 4.0.A.2.368 but my android version is still 2.3.3 i've downloaded companion 2.01.231 and it sais that my phone is updated.
If you battery meter is showing that the Android OS is using large amounts of battery (mine was 43%) then all you have to do to fix it is connect the xperia play to a computer but instead of safely removing from the computer, you must pull the bar down from the top of the phone screen and press disconnect, then unplug the phone and the OS then returns to normal battery usage.
I got my Xperia Pro MK16i back from repairs today, and it came back with Gingerbread on it. The first thing i noticed was the Play Store having been replaced with Android Market. I assumed it would prompt for an update automatically, but it simply wouldn't. I don't see option for an update.
I want to keep the Gingerbread and not update to ICS, but i need to Play Store. How can i get it?
Also the current Android Market won't let me download anything. It cues the apps for download but never really downloads anything.
provide the list of countries where Android Market comes preloaded on the phone, please the latest list.If a country is not listed in the list, is there any other way to have applications installed
I would like to upgrade 2.3.3 r800at with android to record in HD without losing 4g, android will leave some version of our mobile?? r800a as well as the version and the version 2.3.4 r800?
The (default) camera app used to work fine. But suddenly it would not anymore:
1. When I press the button to activate the camera, it will not start the camera app anymore.
2. When I start the (default) camera app manually, it will start, leave the content of the viewfinder black and freeze: I need to reboot the phone because none of the buttons (back, menu, home) will react.
3. Alternatively, after about 2 minutes the frozen application will kill itself (I have no autokiller installed!)
Would uninstalling and re-installing the (default) camera app If yes, how would I get it uninstalled and where would I get the camera.apk to download from to re-install it?
Updated my Xperia Neo V with PCCompanion to Android 4.0.4 and when trying to use Skype I noticed that the videoconference works but only with the back camara. I see the other person on the screen but I have to turn the phone around so they can see me.
Front camara worked great before this update perfectly. Looked at a couple of other posts around internet but the only response is to go in the camara options and select front camara... but it isn't there anymore since update.
Rest of the phone seems to work ok, only issue I've found is this with the front camara. Read a post about using: [URL] Haven't tried it but will it affect the phone since it's an English version download?
I bought my Xperia x10i 2 weeks ago and got the manual update to android 2.1 from SE service centre and I rebooted the phone and now just tried using the camera and guess what, it says Camera Not Available.
So I have updated my ray to the latest OS version just during last weekend and there a things that I would leave (like led button sms notification), but there is that thing that outruns all: save path for camera pics is in internal storage, which means I can take, like 3 shots and that's it. I also can't view them with my Xperia Gallery viewer. Can't change save path to SD card.
I updated my mini pro yesterday night. Overall response is fast.Camera application is looking weird with limited functions. The 2.3.4 version of camera application shoots better pictures than the updated camera application. Camera window opens and shows up the visuals as if they are zoomed in by default despite not using zoom in feature.I'm disappointed with this update of camera functions.
I want to have support from samsung... Kinda tired of custom roms and also I want root so badly. So is there any way to have root and get otas from samsung?
Would you recommend I follow this process? Furthermore I have a question about the stock android which would be installed. Is this considered the 'official' version of Android? I.e. will I be getting updates as soon as they roll out, similar to how it works on say a Nexus device? Or will I need to reinstall the whole OS everytime I need to update the OS?
I never used Android before this, having used BB and WP before this. Also, will the functionality on my phone remain the same? For example will the camera still make use of the laser autofocus? What functionality would be lost if I install stock? Would they be specific software features such as QMemo and knock code for example?
I tried the Camera mod for Xperia play and some kind of entertainment apps by using camera but still the same.My camera just freeze if i take a photo. Even if I use another apps to take photo it just freeze.
I have a Xperia Z3 +. After the latest update of Android's camera my device in manual and automatic shooting mode is out of context and Zoom, I can only use other capture modes and some applications that take pictures.
Just updated from a nexus 5 to galaxy S6 and wondering if there's any way to get the stock android lock screen to display?I need to use a pin due to work restrictions on the phone, so can't disable the normal lock screen to use an alternative widget - I've tried a few of these but just get two lock screens. I prefer the stock lock screen as there's more spacing between the numbers (easier for fat fingers).Phone isn't rooted. Android 5.1 using nova launcher.
I have gotten my phone back from repair, and it is now empty. Before I sent it, I backed up the SMS messages using the stock messages app. I stored the file on dropbox. Now, I am trying to restore the messages. So, I go to dropbox, and export the file to the SD Card in the phone. However, no matter where on the SD card I store the file, the messages app cannot find it to restore.
//Note that I now have no messages in my phone. Do I need to make some messages to produce the correct folder first?// (Edit: I did this, and it made no difference)
I have been trying to figure out if I can put pictures that are in my camera folder in my gallery into different folders. I have over 400 pictures in my camera album and I get sick of scrolling through all these pictures looking for a certain picture.
On my new HTC One M8 (AT&T) when I receive a call from a blocked number it comes up Private Number in the stock android phone app, even though I have that number identified in my stock Android Contacts app. When this happened on my old HTC One V (Virgin Mobile), it identified it using the Contacts app. Any way to get it to identify it on the M8, without having to switch to a different set of apps?
I installed a custom recovery on my nexus 6 called Rastapop. Don't get me wrong, its a great rom, it's just not for me. I would like to completely revert back to android 5.0.1 because I loved it. I completely wiped the device before installing Rastapop, so I cannot simply "factory reset" my device.
I can completely handle the flashing process due to the fact that I am an experienced programer. All I need from you is the link to the Nexus 6 5.0.1 ROM, and the link to the Nexus 6 5.0.1 GAPPS (Google Apps).
