rssd21, maybe u wanna share with us what settings did u do?

Example what did u off and disable etc.

And what settings did u on and enable..

Thanks!

Nothing special. Just switch off data & wifi when idle, with a few stock apps running in background. About 450mb free memory. WCDMA network only.

Oh... WCDMA and off data...

No wonder la...

hello

1. yes.

2. yes and I don't know about creating a group.

3. not that I know of, but I can suggest creating a full pic with 5 different images in it with photoshop.

4. nope. the volume depends on your file's. if you want you can use a sound editing software to make it louder

=D

use quick pic appls
is alot faster and better than the stock picture preview

 

[eeLsinneD]

Anyway, I'm a bit puzzle on changing wallpaper.. Cos the "cropping" part seems like a restriction. Or I have to change the resolution of the picture first?

the software requires you to crop it proportionately.
I always use photoshop to set the proportion first haha

you'll have to apply .nomedia files into the folders you don't wish to see.

You can do a google on '.nomedia' =)

the last flagship from sonyeric

hmmm

come to think of it, if you want totally different images for each side, abit impossible.

As you can see, if you flick to the next page, you notice a part of the image from the middle page is in it.

So I guess it is impossible for you to want that

try restart your phone and see? to be honest I did not use that function so I can't say for sure.

 

[ragnarok95]

NFC tags are here. You may collect urs now at Xperia shop amk hub. Just bring along the coupon.

Yes, u can collect now. I wont repeat again. Thanks.

 

[eeLsinneD]

Erhm btw u go the service centre need bring what for the warrenty?

if you registered online, your ic. if not, your receipt.
And if nothing, they will just scan your phone's serial number and use the manufacturing date as a gauge.

Actually, I just want one part of the picture only. But I don't know how to crop the proportion beforehand. Very lazy to figure out.

Dunno whether will this help or not.

Get the default wallpapers as a template, then you do a screenshot of your phone.

Add this screenshot on top of the wallpaper template, align it middle, and you can find out the areas that takes up the middle page.
