Weird... Did they take it out?

It's possible to download it again basically. If you searched for Data Monitor on the Android Market, one will be by Sony Mobile Communications

It looks like this:

Mine was defaulted with the system, got rid of it in favour of the one by RadioOpt since it has a much more detailed breakdown, and shows the traffic used by both WiFi and SIM Card

The one included with the system only shows traffic used up by SIM

Weird, i didnt have it in the updated OS. But when i followed hush66 link, it said it's already installed. I went back to my phone and now it appear.

lolz

Before this i was using norton mobile utilities apps to monitor. Surprising, this is nothing as compare to their desktop version which is a memory sucker. This runs very lightly in the XS.

Widgets -> Data Monitor

Not the most comprehensive though. I'm using the Traffic Monitor program from RadioOpt instead, breaks down the data traffic usage by application

you didn't answer my query... =(

[Zeph_ng]

That's the Power Saver widget if I remember right

No access to it since I'm using Go Launcher however (breaks a few widget compatibilities)

 

[scubyti]

How do you customize the lockscreen? As in placing the apps at the left hand side of the screen.

The Japanese booklet that hush gave me said it is customizable, and I think i saw a demo of it during one of those international conventions that the representative showed us

How is the batterylife? Can last for 2 days? Or more than a day at least?

can last 1 day for me. good enough for me since i charge every night plus i could see a significant improvement in the battery life after the update

 

[ragnarok95]

Which smartphone now can last 2 days with normal usage???

Unless u off everything and only have 2G. But then like this might as well just use a nokia 8250.

forgot to bring my charger to school..surprisingly my phone lasted me through the weekend over in sch..

phone mostly on standby, but have background data and autosync on.
normal usage on whatsapp..calls and sms no browsing though. played probably a total of 1hr or less of games? loving the phone more as the days pass..my only gripe is the image compression issue :/

Argh

[ragnarok95]

That is very good battery life. But also mostly on standby...

anyone notice that playing music consumes too much power?

music with my xperia play with MW600 bluetooth headset drains less than half the power XS does.

1 hour of bt music session drains 10% power.

when i check power usage, the player is at 20+ % and bluetooth oni 2%

playing S V Z definitely kills power..
