1. Press and hold the "Menu" button keyboard will come up. I think this is useless..

2. I use the XS stock email with no problem at all. Don't know why some people has problem with stock email. I heard there maybe problem with yahoo but I have a free yahoo email and working fine:

Munually set up

chose imap

incoming: imap.mail.yahoo.com port 993 security 993

out going: smtp.mail.yahoo.com port 587 security none.

In fact, I love the stock XS email app. Look nice

Does anyone know the fastest way to put the phone into silent mode without vibrating?

I know the standard widget or volume buttons, but those only lower the sound and cannot disable vibration...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] RiotRick:
I use either widgetsoid or beatiful widgets for this atm.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Cholek3:
If you don't want vibration at all like me, go to Settings>Sound>Vibrate>Never. Than just swipe from right to left on locked screen.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Efe64:
Didnt know that thanks!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] RiotRick:
You can do that offcourse. But there is no quick built-in way to toggle vibration. For example I would like to have vibration on during the day, but when I have my phone by my bed when I'm asleep I would like sound and vibration off.

The smart tags aren't able to toggle vibration either.

Can someone recommend a decent and simple email widget - need to be able to access imap emails. Ideally something that can show the emails which when clicked on etc opens the built-in email client...

Cheers

when you have checked the option in Settings>Accessibility: "Power button ends call".

No more waiting till the screen lights up again! :)

Not sure if everyone noticed it, but the default keyboard is "swype" enabled as well, so you can write by sliding or tiping, as you wish.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Knight77:
Yeah great keyboard but......MISSING VOICE INPUT KEY :mad:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Pezo:
And missing period and comma as well (at least without changing to symbols beforehand)...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] R64:
double tap space after a word to insert a period automaticly. Or tap space once after a word to get al the period, comma and other above the keyboard.

Great thread, here are my tips

1-You can use Go Locker for waking up screen when its off with the volume keys. For me is very useful. However its not compatible with "tasker", and If you use pattern unlock you will have to dual unlock (just as with stock unlocker...)

2-Definitly DONT use task killers

3-You can choose 12mpx for camera, its at 9mpx by default

4-BUY a good cover, the second day for me it fell to the floor, crashing heavily, it made a slit in the bottom, its fragile!

5-If you like to turn off only cell radio without wifi and bluetooth, it is done with Swich Pro 2.0.1, the only app wich allows you to do it on 2.3 ;) Useful to save power at nights
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] relesman:

To very quickly launch your favorite 12 apps, i recommend swipepad. For me setting the swipe area for that from the left below area works best. Free from the market.

Never found a good twitter client for android like tweetbot for iphone, i tried the most known like tweetdeck, ubersocial and tweetmaster. Any others i missed and are good?

Mute incoming call ringtone in your pocket

when some is calling you and you dont want to answer now or your at school Or in a meeting

and forgot to change the sound settings, then just press the volume button! :D

It can be pressed when your phone is still in your pocket.

This will mute the sound and only vibrate.

This is nothing new for SE and Nokia users (and maybe some other brands ;))

but i think most of them don't know...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] walternok:
My milestone 2 was totally R.I.P, due to the power button crash :( I changed to Xperia S for 2weeks already.

A apps called "Widget Locker" (but not free!!, you can download it from black market:D)that can be used for replacing the original lock screen(contains different lock screen themes), and wake up the screen pressing on the volumes or camera button, instead of power button :)

Another apps called "Screen off", for you to screen off and lock without using the button, by just simple click on the app. icon.

I can't live without ES FileExplorer and BS Player. Using it for browsing media via the wireless lan and streaming 720p mkv's to my SXS. Enjoy the fantastic screen from you bed ;)

And if you press power button. Sound and vibrating will stop, screen goes off but doesnt cancel call.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ssj_jaypee:
Nice work guys, keep those tips coming. :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] weenguyen:
I think use go power master or power saver setting to control the vibration the way you like should be possible
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Static-Noise:
As seen in other threads, add these to your build.prop (on rooted devices) for great optimisation:

- This makes the phone sleep better, eliminating battery drain to a minimum

- Helps stop so much drain

- Removes boot animation at startup, helping it boot faster. Don't be alarmed if you see only a black screen however! :)

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Knight77:
Some questions which answer might really improve user experience...

ACCOUNTS AND SYNC

The phone has many possible syncing: xperia facebook, original facebook application, google accounts, contacts widget, ecc.

The point is...

What is the contacts widget syincing?

What is the xperia facebook syincing?

Having the contacts pictures from facebook is related to xperia fb or fb application?

In few words I'm really thinking that not all these accounts really needs to be sync, but I am not that sure. Any idea?

KEYBOARD AND VOICE INPUT

The keyboard is really good and has swype function but is missing the voice input key, any trick to have it or use it?

VOICE INPUT SHORTCUT

Is there a way to have the voice input/search using the soft touch buttons? Some phone has it clicking twice on the home button, some others doing the same in the menu button...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] WasherUK:
All the syncing options confuse the **** out of me too!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] deadsea:
LLama might be able to do that. Location based profile switcher. Heck i've never saw the point of the NFC tags since I've been using lama since the HTC desire.. Does all that without me having to tap anything..
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] doministry:
Some of you know this

but you can change metadata and album covers in Music Player.

And also grab them online (it doesn't always catch it though).
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ssj_jaypee:
Very nice, I might try rooting after we receive ICS.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Cholek3:
Everything I do on computer (searching files, transfering, etc), I use Total Commander for it daily. Total Commander will not show Xperia S as external drive due to MTP mode, unless you install THIS plugin.

Now you can transfer files using Total Commander (see attachment)

I still have problem with one application/folder. I am testing DailyRoads Voyager and I can't view, transfer .mp4 files from phone to computer. As you can see these files are on phone (File Explorer see them), but when I browse Internal Memory, they are not there. Annoying, still looking for solution. See attachment #2.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ntduyphuong:
Anyone know how to change the way Camera app names photos? The original format (date + time) is somehow long. That would be great if they're named like "IMG1, IMG2..." like digital camera does.

I disabled Contact Sync (Facebook, Google Contact...) because it's not necessary and consumes lot of data.

My recommendation: Dolphin Browser HD for web browsing and MX Player for movie playing... I'm using stock Music app, which has good sound quality.

Glad to hear from you more ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Cholek3:
But stock camera app name them DSC_xxxx.jpg, not date and time.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] R64:
I would reccomend DicePlayer for movie playing. I tried a lot of players and was using MX before. But MX did not play all of the mkv files properly and streaming over network is mediocre. But DicePlayer does it all so far. So for this device Dice seems to work best.

Hi,

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ntduyphuong:
NFS Shift is a big game which requires high graphic processing. So I think this is normal for this game and others

When playing music with stock Music app and Sony original in-ear headphone is plugged in, if you press the button near the microphone (used to answer call), music will stop playing. Press again, it resumes playback :D

Oh man it's known for years in every Sony smartphone lol.

More, press quickly twice while playing and it will play the next piece.

Press quickly trice and it will play previous one.

One thing I didn't saw or missed to see mentioned is the following:

If your phone is rooted,you can go to /data/app and backup all the apps that you've download.

Like this you don't have to re-download the apps after a factory reset,just install one by one as needed.

I know that there is a backup app but I like this method it's more clean.

One way to massively improve the user experience is to forego the proprietary launcher and install TSF Shell. Im not one for promotion but this launcher simply rocks.

Took the plunge a week ago, and now it finally feels like a BRAND NEW PHONE!! Everything about it from the way it looks to the innovative and smooth way it works!!! Very pleased with it indeed! If you haven't heard about it check out Play store for details, or have a look at the TSF Shell video here....

For music as said already by someone before, go to sound enhancements and :

From left to right sliders: 6, 4, 7, 6 and 10, and clear bass +10.

Then on the top left corner, press more and use the studio surround sound effect, awesome one.

While playing, click on the extension button next to the song name and see the google music extension options.

IF you have shuffle on, click on the album art and you will see an option Play Queue. Click on it and it will show you the shuffled order of all songs, you can move any song up and down from there :)

For Video : Download MX player, its the best video player, lot of customization and light on battery.

Also when on a call, press the home button and you would return to the screen :cowboy:

You can surf net, play games (i play temple run while my gf is yelling at the other end :p) and listen SONGS as well !!!! Try it out :silly:

Use NOVA launcher, and you would get jelly bean smoothness :highfive:

It has lots of customization :D

Also if you feel your speakers are sounding quite low, remove the cover on the back and uncover the plastic flap over the speaker..:fingers-crossed: It would definitely get louder :cyclops:
