The Official Xperia S thread

I find turning on the Force GPU rendering, the phone runs slightly smoother faster.

Where to find this setting? Or it's a app?

Settings, under Development

This is mainly for mobile phone that their GPU is using Adreno 220 GPU only, which XS is using!

Any intro for ICS? like setting and apps? Touch and touch like no diff~!

See here:

And the new Album app now has an Edit function, which is rather cool, as it allows you to apply some effects on the phones as well.

But if you encounter problems with apps, better to turn it off.

For me, it works prefectly fine...and its fast on graphics rendering on 2D...lolx

For benefits of those who dunno yet, and especially those who use wma instad of mp3, PowerAmp is compatible with the lock screen player on the righthand side.

And I never encounter any stutters with PowerAmp, so whether issit just the Walkman app or not, I dunno...

uh forgot. left it in office cos colleague wanna read. but definitely less than $30. There are a few tirles to select from. Just go to the magazine section and browse through, then buy the ones you think are helpful lor.

Normally these bookazines will hsve reviews, app recommendations, tips and tricks etcin them.

I kinda own like 3 Android bookazines by now （；^ω^）

When I first installed ICS, the Poweramp app will still result in occasional stuttering for me. But after a few days, it is now ok.

Thanks. I usually buy my Japanese mags there
Did not notice these, maybe on a different rack

after reading the ICS review, i am kinda discouraged from upgrading the firmware because of the many small but nice features disappearing from the ICS, e.g. silent mode by swipping right to left from standby screen...
