[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] garychencool:
Some have reported that they still have the electrostatic noise even after updating to 2.3.4 although Sony Ericsson have stated that it's fixed. Of course, as an owner of a Sony Ericsson Xperia mini Pro sk17a, after finally updating, I still get the electrostatic noise.

I've seen much improvement with the touchscreen after updating to 2.3.4. As in its pretty responsive.

In terms of battery life, it's decent, I can get several hours of movie watching on it (like 10 hours) and it still hasn't reached 15%. Charging is really fast, you can probably charge the phone dead to full in an hour. The battery won't overheat unless you're playing games on the beach. I haven't seen the phone go above 42C.

Reception depends on location, carrier, etc, factors like that. I'm getting full bars right now so I guess it's good.

The phone is generally fast, but you will see a difference comparing to your old phone or to a high end phone like the SGS2. I haven't seen much occasional lag. And those were very occasional.

Do you like the 3-inch screen? The thick form factor?

Whether you should buy it or not, it's your choice. It's a pretty good mid- ranged phone.

Feel free to ask more questions.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] AndrewB.:
Thank you for helping me decide.

I bought the phone and I love it.

I'm looking to find the directory where apps go when they are downloaded. I have ES File Explorer.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zaptoons:
Do you mean apps downloaded and installed from the market? If so, generally the .apk files go to data/app.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tonyp22:
Is there a spot where they are stored after downloading, but before installation?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] spawn174:
Try /sdcard/Download
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tonyp22:
Looked all through my SD card and did not find what I was looking for (I don't have a /sdcard/Download directory BTW). I'm looking for the ATVAndroidClient Amazon Video apk, because I saw one post where the user got it to successfully install when selected directly from its directory location. I too am having trouble getting it to install when I just select it from the popup window after it's dl'd.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zmobie:
The directory structure is pretty annoying on this (and I guess android). I find multiple (3,4,5+) locations for downloads (and books, media, etc). Each browser puts it somewhere else, etc usually without asking. Anyway, easiest thing to do is to do a search with a file manager (root explorer, file expert) to find where you downloaded something.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dragon_76:
It is in /cache as downloadfile.apk
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jillpacker:
All my apps is stored in /media/my files/my downloads, I am using stock brower to download files.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tonyp22:
There you go! That's what I needed. Thanks jillpacker. And sure enough when I installed Amazon Video from there, it worked fine. Sweet.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zmobie:
Versus doing it from the bottom left download notification window? Very odd! Good to know :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tonyp22:
Yep. Try as I might it would not work that way for me the "normal" way. Seemed to happen to a few others.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Pirateghost:
if you are asking for some help in solving this mystery, it would help if you would explain what exactly you have on your setup.

is it stock?

did you flash a rom?

did you flash a mod?

are you using one of those useless task managers?

what launcher?

the more info YOU provide, the better people can help you out
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Edgarhighman:
Sorry I figured. I'm Using Galnet MIUI 1.11.9 I guess with zedomax kernel. It comes integrated with a launcher. My phone started going south real bad when I installed Siyah 2.2i Since then I restored to an older kernel. I'm thinking of starting over from scratch with a new rom.

Back on PC. Nothing?

The "launcher" that keeps crashing the phone says is "Activity launcher", it crashes and I can't do anything til it crashes and reboots i guess.

The Keyboard i think it is says: Android Keyboard (process com.google.android.inputmethod.lating) has stopped. Force close or report to MIUI

SwipeIT keyboard doesn't even open (the app does, but no keyboard)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gr8hairy1:
Install another launcher for the mean time. At least it won't keep crashing while you try to figure it out.

It may end up being a rom specific issue. You'll want to check out the galnet miui forums and see if they can help.

[Galaxy S II General] jdurston:
Do you typically record 720p or 1080p video? I use 720p because the files are smaller and I own a 720p tv. I wondered if 720p might offer better quality in low light conditions because it can average over more pixels in the sensor?

Also if the phone cpu is working too hard at 1080p does it reduce quality by upping compression and increasing lossyness?

Or is 1080p substantially better choice with the only downside being bigger files?

Generally I've found video IQ to be some what independent of resolution (on other devices) because compression generally goes up with resolution negating a lot of the benefits.

Thoughts?
[Galaxy S II General] walidhiphop:
Im using 720p cos it seems to me more clear and more smooth playing...plus less zoom.....
[Galaxy S II General] jdurston:
So 720p plays back smoother? Just on the phone screen or over hdmi?
[Galaxy S II General] Hrithan2020:
You are right, due to the binning would select the less noisier pixels and thus, the 720p video quality [except for resolution ofc ] would be much better.
[Galaxy S II General] marsexpress:
I prefer 720p mode, only because of the field of view, it's just too narrow angle in 1080 mode.

Suppose it could come in handy if wanting to shoot something more distant but for indoor work it's not wide enough.
[Galaxy S II General] HellcatDroid:
For me only 720p, because in 1080p I get a thin, purple line over the image that's also recorded into the vid, making my 1080 mode effectively broken.
[Galaxy S II General] Si14:
I always thought 1080 as higher quality than 720p. Maybe for mobile this is different? Any source or test for this?
[Galaxy S II General] jdurston:
I'll try and shoot some comparison footage tomorrow.

Not sure if YouTube's compression will make the difference impossible to tell though.
[Galaxy S II General] TheSaw:
This is a totally different matter. Yes, 1080 pixels are "higher" than 720, obviously :). But there are other factors also on our device.

I just record in 720p. Never really compared the two, but I don't need 1080p usually, so I' don't need those huge files either.
[Galaxy S II General] Mulholland Drive:
Good discussion on here, guess I'll have to switch to 720p now on.
[Galaxy S II General] ro4sho:
I tried recording an apple in the 2 modes and to my surprise the 720p mode is indeed much clearer and wider then 1080p.

Go for 720p
[Galaxy S II General] -Nane-:
I prefer 720 p... for my the quality is enought and the size of the videos is so better.

[General Questions and Answers] Flurie:
My rooted atrix system 4.5.91.MB860.ATT.en.US running Android 2.3.4 with build 4.5.91 is not compatible with apps that require the "android.hw.screen.landscape" hw feature set by many app developers.

I have searched and looked at a number of build.prop and could not find anything that sets atrix to enable landscape. The phone does do landscape but for some reason the landscape hw feature is missing. It there something I am doing wrong. The Android market tech says my phone is missing the "android.hw.screen.landscape" feature. So any apps that has the landscape requirement becomes incompatible with my atrix.

Amazon app store does not appear to have this problem, but Android market has more up to date SW versions.

Anyone one with knowledge, assistance with this issue is greatly appreciated. I bought the phone already rooted, but did enable webtop debian for the lapdock.

This problem has me stumped. Tech say to call ATT or motorola but my phone is rooted.

Thanks.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] showson1:
Hi all..

I'm new to the Vibrant, I recently got one used off of Craigslist and set it up on the T-mobile month to month plan.

For some reason I cannot turn off SafeSearch in the browser (either stock or Dolphin) when I'm on 3G.

When I'm on Wifi I can do it no problem, but on 3G it just toggles right back to strict.

I've never seen this issue before on any phone I've had so I was wondering if it's something with the MIUI ROM.

I'm using the miui.us ROM from the Development forum..

Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] showson1:
OK.. figured it out.

There is a feature on the T-Mobile account called 'WebGuard'.

For some reason mine was set on and set at the 'child' level so I could not switch SafSearch from 'Strict'.

As soon as I set this off I was good to go.

If you are on the official honeycomb update, could you please confirm which apps do not work properly. What about gameloft ones, they are notorious for the compatibility.

Asphalt 6 works great on rooted WiFi flyer with the latest honeycomb release
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Farsquidge:
Only one I have a problem with out of my usual ones (list too big) is BBC iPlayer, and that just seems to be down to BBC themselves not adding the HC Flyer on the compatibility list yet.

I have noticed the lack of the old Google News and Weather app but found that in the forum after a quick search http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=695349. It also works fine.

Edit: I have noticed that Google Earth has problems. The lower buttons for Look around and Zoom controls are missing, presumably under the new bottom bar! This is probably due to the same problem as in the PocketCloud thread, however they are fixing PocketCloud in next update.

ive found all my "borrowed" gameloft games have been removed by hc drm ,all worked flawlessly on gb.

bit o a bummer,dunno anyway to get round it just yet.

dont seem to be able to buy anything on market,just keeps saying update my cc details and voids the sale.

nothing wrong with my payment details tho.maybe they dont like uk anymore. :(

the builtin market with the official hc update doesnt seem to find much for the flyer and yet when using ffox,opera etc to go direct to market all the top stuff is there to see.

bit confuddled by it at the moment,wait for a way to root it n go from there i guess.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jmiller808:
Couple of app incompatabilities

So far ive found a couple of issues with apps on my honeycomb flyer compared to my honeycomb galaxy tab 8.9.

ADW Launcher EX (see attached image)

1. The app drawer button that should be in the upper left is missing

2. the buttons on the top right for search, add widgets, wallpaper, etc are missing

3. The main app dock does not rotate to bottom of the screen in landscape mode

Astro File Manager

1. App menu bar at the top of the screen is missing, looks almost like its been pushed off the top because of resolution rather than scaling

Im sure there are more, but those are the apps i tend to use the most that are not stock htc apps.

Anyone have any ideas on the ADW launcher issues? i would really like to use that one because of the dock (really miss the persistent shortcuts on every screen like the flyer GB sense had)

dropbox, apps to SD, bestbuy, checkmark list pro, droid crypt, ebay, getjar, keypass, mail droid, mindjet, MOG, Netflix, Pandora, pulse, quora, read it later, rhapsody, seastorm, slacker, swipe pad, teavanna, win amp. weather underground, wapedia, twitter, travel weather radar.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
You have not done much research before throwing these out there. You can't just install the old app from a GB backup...,

just off the top of my head:

dolphin, weatherbug and swiftkey have tablet version , work on the HC flyer

dropbox, pulse, read it later, ebay and twitter works on the HC flyer

I run these on my HC flyer so your report that they don't work is incorrect

Perhaps you have not done a proper install of HC or the apps.

thanks for the update. When I first saw that there was a update available, I wondered if it was real... I got one that was fake a few weeks ago and nearly bricked my flyer.

No idea what you are talking about, honestly.

If you are going from GB to HC all of your apps should have been wiped. Don't try to reinstall from a Titanium backup of GB , that will cause all sorts of havoc on your HC , just install apps from the market fresh.
