The Official Xperia S thread

[Albedo]

There is a widget called "data switch" (by Hongyu Wang) in the market (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.datalinkswitch&feature=related_apps) . The widget does not require any permission, works very well. It does NOT generate the message when you switch on the data.

Thanks! Will try it out.

I will wait until ICS is out then go change the screen. Same time ask them up to ICS for me.


Swee la. Perfect plan.

Own self also can update one marh

Is there a speed dial function in Xperia S? Thks~

Not on the default dialer. You could add your contacts as Favourites and just scroll to the Favourite tab in the default dialer.

Or you can install alternative dialers like Go Dialer, which have speed dial functions.

Under Liveware -> Smart tags -> Tag Actions, hit menu to bring up the option to edit the name of the tag

any idea if Xperia S can play flac music?

 

[Zeph_ng]

Not with the default music player, but FLAC is pointless on a phone like the XS

It's DAC, and the DAC for any phone out there for that matter, aren't up to par for FLAC files, and they just drain more battery power while taking up more space. Stick to V2 VBR MP3s for phones, good balance between SQ, battery and space overall

Quite frankly, if anyone says that FLAC makes a major difference on a mobile phone setup, where the DAC is built for power saving rather than full on performance (same goes for the amp section), I'd like to challenge them to a blind ABX test

Reserve FLACs for desktops with a proper DAC + AMP + cans setup

You can go to Settings -> About phone -> Status.
Easier way would be to download and install one of the numerous battery widget apps and place on your homescreen.
