[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] hydenobuyuki:
I've been using the Xperia GX for 2 months now since it launched in the summer but it should be similiar to the T/TX (well, exactly the same as the TX)

Waking up / Firing up the camera quickly

If the camera process is not running it will take 5-6 seconds to start up.

If it is running, then it is much faster. When it is running in the background it does not consume a lot of resources (in particular it doesn't really impact battery life since that is the single worst part of the GX/TX)

Be sure to check your camera settings as well for the "Quick Launch" settings.

This has been seen on several Xperia devices but here's briefly how it works.

When the phone is asleep, you hold down the camera button. It takes about a half second for recognize the long press then will fire up and take the shot in less than another half second. You can change your setting to choose whether it does nothing, fires up the camera, or fires up the camera plus takes the shot.

If you use a screen unlock pattern, you will still take the photo and subsequent photos but you cannot go to view/share/etc the photo until completing the unlock. This is to both give you security while not stopping you from quickly taking photos.

Pictures of things in motion

I was surprised that it takes pictures very quickly with little shutter lag. The day after I got the phone, I went to climb Mount Fuji and was surprised I could take clear photos of the foliage whizzing by outside the bus window.

That being said, that only really works in well lit conditions.

In well lit conditions, it can focus quickly 150-400ms but like others have said, this is not the case in low light (or when the device starts to overheat or when bogged down with apps running and demanding wakelock).

If you use the quick capture feature, it will guess the focus and take the shot.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] shahulvm:
By default, its set to face recognition and thats what delays it. Change the settings on the camera app and you would see the full glory of it :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] lokenok:
really? in the shops i was hands on-ing with the xperia t , and whenever i tapped the big capture button it would instantly capture even if i clicked many times , like a burst shot.. so does my old phone ray but it laggs a bit
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Haldi4803:
Change focus to infinite?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Humzaman:
Is there anyway to make multitasking (or recent apps) open with double click home instead if holding home? I've seen home2shortcut (or whatever its called) but is it possible to make hold home to open svoice?

I guess you could say like how the iPhone 's home button acts. (IPhone still sucks tho)

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mnhertz26:
If you use apex launcher, go to apex settings, behavior settings, and you can set multitasking to any number of screen gestures (swipe up, swipe down, pinch in, double tap, etc). When you choose the gesture, it gives you a list if functions. Choose "recent apps" Also, I believe using any cut, you can put a shortcut on your home screen
[Motorola Photon 4G] naturecannon:
I bought a new GS3 and added a line. Sent the new number to the Photon which is using AOKP Rom and I took the photon number. Basically swapped numbers.

Now the Photon has no service. Assuming because phone is flashed and I dont have the update function like the stock photon has. Do I have to go back to stock or is there a way I can change my phone info, been a while so lack of terms in memory but talking about the MEID if thats what its called and so on.

I can Return to Stock/Relocking via FullSBF flash but would rather not go through the entire process going to original, to program phone then back to custom rom again

EDIT: Never Mind, Just decided to give my son the photon stock
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] DekinGBar:
So hello guys ,i am making a thread to see how would you like to customize your ROM?Imagine your perfect ROM.Features?How would it look like?What UI (Sense,TouchWiz,WP7,etc...)?What would you like especially in your ROM like a special option.So put all of your opinion in this thread.And maybe if we see some of them is possible to make,we will request from our devs to do it :) Cheers!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] luaifarah:
i actually think that the ui of sxs is amazing.. this is the only reason i kept my stock rom rather than cm9 and i now have ka sspeed from krabappel! if u can keep the ui and make tweaks for a much longer battery life and better ram usage it would be amazing!

thanks in advance if u are about to start sth ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] DekinGBar:
Gonna start actually doibg sone stuff in a week or two (school :( ).Anyway i think the UI also s pretty good and the SXS is smooth and fast.Although you are rught about battery,it could last longer...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] alfaunits:
I would want Xperia ArcS's UI on SXS rather.

And the battery life as well.

Stragenly, everything else is fine with me :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] DekinGBar:
Idk i watched SXS and Arc S both and personally i think that UI from ArcS is better,but yet i think it looks better on the Arc S don't really know how would it look like on SXS...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] luaifarah:
it could last longer but not as much as other phones with same specs! it lasts about 20 hours now when i installed greenpower and i have ka sspeed! but the stock one used to have a very terrible battery life! and comparing to cm9 even ka sspeed have bad battery life.. so ur plan should be starting on cm9 or aokp and working on its ui ! i guess :rolleyes:

---------- Post added at 04:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:35 AM ----------

SXS's UI is much more beautiful than the arc S in my opinion!! i actually think that SXS's UI is the most beautiful UI on android recently!

Oh and good luck with ur school! ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Felimenta97:
A ROM with the AOKP and Paranoid features together would make it perfect.

"I got my values. So you can keep yours, OK?"
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] DekinGBar:
Hahah thanks gonna need it! :D Anyway tou are probably right.Before SXS i tought the Sense was the most beautiful,and it was,still is beautiful,but now when SXS came out,don't have that opinion anymore :)

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nodstuff:
You're "losing it" over benchmark results?

You need to get out of the house for a while, leave your phone at home, go have some human contact and forget about useless, retarded benchmarks.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nfsmw_gr:
Well i am almost all day out i do have a life and i girlfriend i'm not isolated from the society...:p

But i just can't get how the xperia mini can beat the S3,which means something is screwed up with my phone!Right?

That's why i need others to post their results so that i can see if it's only me or if all S3's perform poorly on the random write speed test!

Is it so hard to run a 1 minute benchmark?lol.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nodstuff:
Yes. It is.

Benchmarks are stupid.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the ferret:
Happy now. Mine is low too. Stock Rom unrooted. But the others are right. Benchmark's are pointless. I know my phone is fast by the way it performs, not by what some program tells me. I also think that result is wrong. Now I'm not a programmer or anything, and don't even know what half of that **** is. But judging from the other scores, it's probably a bug in the program that's scoring that one result wrong. All the others look fine, just that one.

Dude, relax... You have one of the most powerful phone of the world... The S3 is not performing poorly on anything.... There's no way in this world that the Xperia mini can beat the S3 on anything...

So relax... Its probably something wrong on the benchmark application....

But if you will feel better I will run this benchmark for you... Hold on
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nfsmw_gr:
Thank you!You're right...

This is excactly what i wanted,someone to confirm this too...:)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teio:
Here it is, mine is low too...

Im no developer but you know, Samsung has a non standard implementation of internal memory /external sdcard, so maybe that's why we get low scores...

Not important anyways, I have done some copying within internal memory and sdcard, and between each other, and it's very fast...

EDIT: Btw, comparing my scores with the the one from the guy above, there's a huge difference... Not that it matters anyways... Its only numbers...

View attachment 1384076
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nfsmw_gr:
Thank's man...

Well this doesn't test the sd card,it tests the /data partition that's why these scores look like something to be worrired about...

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kumprise:
My values are totally on par with published photos (I got worried too, then I found this thread, God bless search) - I even changed ROM from InsertCoin to CyanogenMod 10.1 to see if it changes anything. It doesn't. Thanks for info, OP.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArbiterGR:
Does that help ? got it yesterday while testing out lagfix (which i can say it does nothing for us, as we have proper trim support in our emmcs)

ps: Benchmarks are stupid, they don't mean anything and they can easily be faked with just the right settings / variables.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] alfaunits:
Is this possible, and how much work would be needed? I understand the same kernel cannot be used, of course, but how much work would be needed to use the stock S kernel, with the ArcS System.img?

I am actually hoping to use Arconium 8.2 (GB) or Arconium ICS 4.0 if possible.

TIA.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] alfaunits:
Or if anyone has an idea how to simply put an ArcS Gingerbread theme onto S it'll do :) (it was easy to simply use DefaultThemes.apk from GB on ICS for ArcS on it, but there is no DefaultThemes.apk on the SXS)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] matke84:
I have a problem with SXU screen. First I have some kind of "bleeding screen" on the left edge of screen. In my country (Serbia) in Sony service center (ComTrade) told me that is a normal and that my complaint not justified. I also have one green stuck pixel in lower right angle of screen. I noticed it 6 days after purchase. But Sony service center and retailer didn't want to acknowledge the complaint. They told me that one or two defective pixels is acceptable. What's worse this is the third Xperia U phone that I have a problem with him. The first one I returned because of 4-5 defective pixels. The second one I returned because it was totally dead. And now one stuck pixel. It amazes me the Sony quality control check and after-sales service, at least in my country. I know that first problem I can't solve but what about stuck pixel. Any solution? Phone is old 3 weeks. Please help!!!

Some kind of "bleeding screen", is it normal?

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Antecz:
I've got the same "bleeding screen" issue, but i really don't mind it, i think it's normal.

And I think that stuck pixels are kinda normal thing, you can try "waking" them up by some LCD checking apps, which display RGB colors on your screen fastly - i had frozen pixel issue on my psp and it worked. To sum up - sony don't have to take that under warranty.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nathan96:
"bleeding screen" is not an issue, that's the way LCD's are glued...that's ok.

I have one dead pixel and Sony say the warranty covers only up to 4 dead pixels...well, screw them :)

[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Angus66:
Installed Chrome on my A700 today and it seems VERY slow/laggy compared to the stock Android browser. There's quite a bit of choppiness and draw-in as well.

Chrome is my browser of choice so I'm kind of bummed by this. :mad:

Has anyone else experienced this issue with Chrome on their A700?
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] PoohBears:
Me too and I also prefer Chrome over stock. There are also a handful of posts about the bugginess of Chrome on the A700 as the screen won't always refresh properly and goes white. People say they have submitted that info to Google so hopefully they can fix some of the general issues like this as well.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Angus66:
Thanks for confirming!

Don't think it's worth returning the tablet just for that issue (especially since I'm not alone) but it definitely adds to the list of dislikes...
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Angus66:
I should add that Chrome works great on my Nexus 7. I wonder how much of that is due to JB???
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] DЯΦiDi@П:
Chrome still a bit laggy under JB (but much less than under ICS).

Stock Browser and Dolphin run smooth and fast as hell. Just FF is as laggy as Chrome under JB.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Angus66:
I've gone back to the stock browser for now, but will be trying Dolphin later today.

I had previously used Chrome and Dolphin on my TF101, but didn't think to try it on the A700.

Thanks for the info!
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] ExtremeRyno:
Try Dolphin and Dolphin Beta. I prefer the Beta...It is a LOT faster for me, but it does randomly go white-screened. Regular Dolphin is more stable, and is more compatible with websites...The Beta is shown as incompatible with a lot of the websites I need to use at work, It's a trade-off.

[Xperia Play Android Development] awesomehacker:
Yes. I also used super one click, gingerbreak, 8 others like break droid.

Also is that the only bug u found on the r800i?
[Xperia Play Android Development] MilkyJoePD:
It's not a ROM bug. It's the zip. Nobody will be able to flash it unless they know which folders to extract and how to re-zip it.

What ROM did you port it from? Because as far as I know it's the first ROM without the audio bug.
[Xperia Play Android Development] awesomehacker:
The ics one I made
[Xperia Play Android Development] MilkyJoePD:
The audio routing to speaker after a call is a fix, not a bug. Unless CM10 140 has fixed it as well this is the only ROM that has.

I think MilkyJoePD was talking about the JB one. It really doesn't have the audio bug? And what about the camera?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nado_x:
Pretty much had it with the Android ecosystem, even though I love it. Hypocrite? Maybe. If I ever get another Android it will be the Nexus, so at least I'll get timely updates. Samsung, Sony, HTC etc all slap their **** on the phones and they release (IF they release) updated versions of Android far too late in the cycle imho.

Going to give Windows Phone 8 a try, despite people generally being negative/skeptical about it. They've promised 18 months of support for Windows Phone 8 devices, which is longer than I usually own a phone anyway so I figured it can't harm.

The only thing that could sway me now would be a new Nexus device that has an equally amazing camera and has an excellent build quality like the Nokia Lumias. Anyone share my notion or have any insight on the upcoming Windows Phone 8?

Please lash out and come with constructive feedback if I'm totally off here as I have by no means settled the deal.

Last but not least thanks codeworkx,atinm,xplodwild and everyone else at the Cyanogenmod team for making my SGS 1 and 2 fun and useable.

You probably won't find a camera better than Nokia's on an Android. The best I've heard of is HTC's One X and ImageSense, or the Optimus G's 13MP shooter.

And Nexus for timely updates;)

(BTW, I don't really look at build quality, but just to get an answer, why do you?)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nado_x:
I like a phone that feels nice and solid in my hand, the SGS II for instance has a cheap battery cover with an uncomfortable (for me) texture which is why I have a semi-hard gel case around it. In my opinion these somewhat defeat the purpose of buying a nice looking phone since they cover up the esthetics of its exterior.
