I am a new user of Xperia Mini.As the upgrade to the ICS is not easily reversible, I would like to know what exact changes to camera interface/behaviour are introduced in the update.
Particularly:
- is the touch focus still available?
- can the big shutter button be hidden?
After updating the x10mp to 2.1, I have lost the ability to use the camera to take pictures. The camera does work for recording videos, saves them too. What happens is that when I take a picture, the camera makes the shutter sound, and then just goes to a blank dark screen. The phone is still on and can go back to the menus. I have tried different sd card, multiple updates, factory resets so far.

Everything has been working fine with much improved browser speed etc, however, today the camera just stopped working.Literally, the camera app draws a blank and 3rd party Camera apps just say cannot connect to camera. The only solution was a manual reboot of the phone. Is this a common for others who've updated to ICS?

Since Xposed App Settings does not work here, is there a way around this?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a N97 mini and bought a nokia car holder.
If I use the carholder, the phone is holding in a landscape position but the display on the screen doesn't swap automatically in landscape! (for example if I use maps)
This only happens on my phone when I use the slide qwerty keyboard. But that is impossible in the carholder.
So, is there any way to swap (manual or setup something?) the display in landscape position without use the slide qwerty keyboard?
Friend of mine owns the Samsung Wave - it's a seriously good phone, however I am waiting to get the iPhone 4 when I can get my hands on one in the UK. The thing that struck me about the Wave though was how nice and informative the home page is. Uncluttered with icons, notifications when you receive missed call/text etc. Full screen wallpaper with nothing else on it. Does anyone else think that a new interface/update for the iPhone is way overdue? Surely when they release the next software update it's not too difficult to allow more customisation for us iPhone owners? On the Wave you don't even have to unlock the phone to see if you missed an event. It's all there on the front screen. Just a thought.
View 16 Replies View RelatedI've been having problems with my phone recently, it doesn't recieve some text messages or show my missed calls. A friend suggested that it may just need updating, which made sense because I'd been getting update notifications, just hadn't got round to hooking my ohone up to my laptop. So I did just that and installed the 'companion' but when I try to update, it's asking me to insert a memory card. I've never taken it out! Not once. So i've turned the phone off and on again, as you do.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHaving enterred in to the third week of my life with an x10 (Android 2.1) the frustration level is still high, and one thing that is really annoying is the way you pick up a number to dial from your phonebook. When I open up the default Phonebook on the x10 and selct a contact, Mr AAAAA, I am presented with 7 fields with mr AAAAA's numbers: his Home, Work, Mobile, Home Fax, Work Fax, Pager and Main. I do only have one telphone number of mr AAAAA and that is his mobile number that is correctly stored in that field; that means that the other six numberfields are empty. So far, so god.
Since all 7 fields are listed as a selectable option each item in the list become quite thin, approximately 0.5 cm high, and since most grownups on this planet has fingers that are wider than 0.5 cm it requires some precsion to select the right field. This is my problem, when I try to select Mr AAAA's mobile number, the x10 often selects the number besides (below or above) although that field is empty! The x10 then tries to set up a call to a blank number and obviously the call fails (and I am back to the initial screen again).Surely this must be a bug, why is an empty field selectable at all? One can even wonder why it is at all presented in the list of numbers since it is empty; I could understand if the field is selectable if I had pressed the "edit" key but that is not the case. The correct way would be to present all 7 filed although only the fileds contain a number should be selectable and the other dimmed, this standard hotlink concept. I consider this as a bug and wonder if I am the only one with this problem and if someone has found a solution to this problem. More important, is this a bug recognized by Sone Ericsson and is there a solution in the pipeline?
I just updated my Xperia Mini Pro, but after the update, a) new text messages appear at the bottom of the list of texts (so annoying!) and b) the newest text message does not appear on the list when I reply to it.Is this a bug? I really don't think it's a feature.
View 2 Replies View RelatedJust wanted to share my experience. I did the update on November 8. I didn't bother to do the backup. The only real important is the contacts and Google have them already. I used the Update Service tool and it worked like a charm. After restarting the phone I had to go through the setup wizard, which by the way is much improved. I now realized that I had lost all my downloaded applications. I downloaded them again from market. Most of them had all the old data, nice. Some games lost all history, no big deal really. My contacts, mail and calendar was downloaded from Google.
I realy like the fact that it is possible to send contacts by SMS. The images from facebook also works very well.
The one thing that I am still not used to is the unlooking. The habbit of pressing the menu button twice is had to kick. I think the new way with the slider is somewhat safer.Now I am waiting 2.2 with tethering. I hope this will be available for X10 mini some time in the future.
I'm using Nokia PC Suite 7.1.40.6 on Windows XP (SP2).
When I connect my E61i (USB) to my computer and send a TEXT message, I do get the message in the SEND ITEMS of the phone.
If I connect (to that same computer) my 5200, then the message is NOT visible within the SEND ITEMS (although the message is send).
Can't update my Mini Pro to ICS. My SI number is not yet on the list. Are there many more SI numbers to come?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI just upgraded my mini pro to ICS, it works fine in the first few moments until I realized that my phone can't:
1. Show any album art/cover from the music player. I've tried using the Sony Media Go to add the album arts to the file properties, still it didn't work. Only the 'default' songs from the product i.e brett5000: Globalization, missquerada: Far from love, and 2 others, can display their album cover
2. Update songs. Any new songs that I put into my phone through Sony Media Go aren't shown in the music player, only the old ones are present (though I've deleted it). I found the files when I opened it using a file manager program from the Play Store, but when I played it, none of its properties are present except the title of the song itself. It's not even present in the music player
How do I prevent Update Manager showing me recent the firmware update? My device is working fine at the moment and there is no reason to change this.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI received a message on my XPeria Mini Pro about the 4.1.B.0.587 Update. In fact, I can not install it. When I start the PC Companion software, it finds the connected Phone. Then I click on update. In the following window I click "Accept" and then the software should prepare the PC for the update. But after one second it stops and returns to Start without any comment. When I start Sony Mobile Update Service then it checks for new updates. As soon as the check is over, the program terminates without any comment. Is there a third way to upgrade?

View 6 Replies View RelatedXMP's recorded videos are pixelated and lack details. Most probably x10MP uses the same camera sensor but shoots less noisier photos(though lacks details than XMP). x10MP's minimum ISO is 40 but XMP's minimum is 64. For photos, improving Post Processing Algorithms like 2x1 chroma subsampling and noise reduction will make this device much better.
