Xperia X10 Mini/pro :: How To Turn Off Only Language Bar
Apr 29, 2011
Bought the mini pro two days ago and are pretty happy. It took me only a day to remove all the apps I don't like. Now the most annoying thing left is this language bar. When using the qwerty keyboard on any input field a big bar pops up which shows you your language setting, the status of the "blue" button and an "x" to close that bar. The bar not only uses a big portion of the screen, it also is pretty useless. Several programs (google mail for example) function buttons are hidden below that language bar.
So that every time you type something you have to use the little "x" on that bar to keep going. I know you can turn that bar off by unchecking "standard input". Unfortunately you turn off all the symbols and extra-signs by that too. Imagine now you are German and every second word has an Umlaut. The keyboard becomes useless. So the language bar is unavoidable. I do not want or need the onscreen keyboard. Any way around that bar without loosing the functionality of the "blue" or the "sym" button?

I've bought this phone sim free in the UK so I can use it with a Thai sim card when I'm travelling in Thailand but would like to install Thai language so that I can SMS my local friends in their native language.

I have a Danish SK17i with build 4.1.B.0.587. It has stock ROM and is rootet. What I want to accomplish, is to write Korean, but I do not want to change menus etc to Korean. I have tried a number of keyboard apps from the Play Store, but none of them support the SYM key and the globe key on the hardware keyboard (and some didn't support HW keyboard at all). I've also tried changing the HW keyboard as described on xda dev [URL]. Is there a way to add Korean to the writing languages of the stock keyboard, or do I need a custom ROM?

Every time I compose a message and start typing a bar pops up at the bottom of my screen with the current language on the left and a x on the right to close it. I hit this to close it and get it out of the way but the moment I start typing again its there! I dont find since I have had the phone any use for this annoying pop up so, Is there any way of stopping it?

The language bar won't automatically disappear when scrolling through contacts after composing a message gets very annoying as the language bar prevents using the whole screen to scroll.

I got the ICS update on my XMP. But there is one problem which I am facing. In the Settings, if I tap on "Language & input" settings, the phone hangs and nothing appears. And then when I slide out the physical QWERTY keypad, the "Language & input" settings appear in the landscape mode and then again when I slide in the keypad, the screen goes blank and none of the keys on the phone work.

ok, so a couple of weeks back, my xperia x10 mini pro started to mess up, the screen would suddenly become offset. then it started to not unlock, i hed to press the power button a couple of times or slide the keyboard out to unlock it. it got worse and worse until then it wouldnt unlock at all. so then i tried to take the battery out and plug it back in, but still wouldnt work. now ive been on the internet for a good 5 hours trying to get a solution, but to no avail, so heres my current situation.
When pressing the power button to turn on, the phone vibrates, the phone lights up, but then just goes dark. sometimes while it is dark and pressing the power button it will vibrate again, but nothing happens. I have tried taking the sim and sd card out, nothing changes. I cannot force it to update as when holding the back button and plugging in the usb, it just tries to start as usual and the above happens. the same happens when i try to do a hard reset bu holding the menu button and turning on and holding the other two buttons while turning on. it did this to a lesser extent before, as it wiuld reach the sony ericson screen before turning off, but unlike last time, i cannot fix it.
Also, using the PC companion or update service will not work, it will not connect and when holding the back button while plugging in, it does its usuall little performance, jus trying to turn it on normally, only it just flashes a blue-ish screen over and over.
apart from taking it for repair where they will inevitably do f*** all, what can i do?

My problem is that when starting calls I put the phone to my ear and it is muted. The other end hears me, but I dont hear them. This happens most of the time, but not always.I have tested the proximity sensor and the test is OK most of the time and across most of the screen.But since this is creating such frustration, with customers loosing me on the phone, I just want the phone to work as it does on my old HTC Touch Pro:When starting a call the screen automatically goes blank and I cannot accidentally touch the mute button or anything else.Can I do this on my X10 Mini Pro?Alternatively, can I move the mute button to somewhere else on the screen or remove it entirely?

I just picked this very nice phone up yesterday from Point Roberts in Washington State, where I have an address box I use to get packages that can't be shipped to Vancouver, BC, Canada where I live. I got it from Amazon.com.When I got home and tried to connect ot my wi-fi net work it would say turning on wi-fi, and then it would turn off wi-fi! I called SE customer support and spent an hour on the phone with customer support and did the software upgrade to android 4, which they said would solve the problem. It didn't. When I click on wi-fi it still says turning on wi-fi, and gets no further. The scan and add network buttons don't function. The bluetooth does the same thing, won't turn on. They told me to try to connect to another network, but I told them it doesn't even turn on wi-fi so how can I connect to a network?I've tried the repair function and updated the software several times, but nothing changes, it always says wi-fi and bluetooth are turning on and get no further.
I found others on here who solved the problem with software, so I'm sure mine can be solved, just wanna know how. I've even tried using it with and without a sim card in it, but always the same result. WI-FI WON'T EVEN TURN ON!SE said it is defective and needs to be either returned to the store I got it at, which is in NY, or send it in for service. I just got it, it was brand new unopened and doesn't work. Before I bought it I did an online chat with them to make sure any unit bought in the USA would still have warranty service in Canada and was told yes, any SK17A had USA and Canada warranty regardless of if it's bought in Canada or the USA. Now of course after I bought it, the supervisor at SE customer support says he thinks it won't be covered under warranty in Canada because it was bought in the US!I also didn't realize that the headset connector is OMTP and not CTIA, which my Klispch S4A android earset is and won't work. I asked Sony if they make an adaptor between OMTP and CTIA and they said they don't, later on with some googling I found out they do!
I might have to buy the Livesound earset, since it gets me compatibility and adds remote functions. Problem is I don't know if the sound will be as good as my Klipsch, which are terrific. I like the phone, obviuosly just want it to work. If it does, I will probably buy the Livesound earset.Brand new phone is apparently defective. Was not told this wi-fi issue is a common problem and is posted all over the internet.When I called back today, they said they had no record of me in the system and I didn't actually call them yesterday! Sony is now doubting Canada warranty for USA phone they previously said was covered before I bought it.I might have to pay to send phone back to store, even though it is defective out of the box.OMTP headset plug is poorly indicated on Website. I would probably not have bought it knowing it is not CTIA compatible without adapter.Being not told the truth about headset adapter availablity.

Xperia mini pro has this cool animation when you press the switch off button...it turns the screen off (puts it in stand by) by closing the screen to the middle with a little white flash. I recently noticed that it is gone, it does not appear any more when I turn my screen off. I have tried changing the animation settings under "display" category but nothing happens.

The battery of my xperia mini pro got depleted during an update attempt, and since then it won't turn on, charge, nor be recognized by my computer through the USB cable connection. Hence the PC companion won't recognize it as well. It doesn't vibrate or turn any lights on, just gets a little bit hotter when connected for a long period of time.
