The Official Xperia S thread

Hmm i might have got it mixed up with other launchers cos most other launchers have landscape home screen.. haha. Another thing I don't understand why Sony doesn't implement? lol

Anyone knows if its possible to keep the background music such as radio and walkman playing while using the camera app? I hate it when everytime i whana shoot something interesting my music cuts off. Then when i'm done shooting gotta go back turn on my music again. =.=

I've never installed any other launchers but sometimes my home screen can rotate, sometimes cannot. Mostly this is when a charger is plugged in. Feels pretty random lol.

Hmm you know why? That's cos you need to "focus" when taking photos!

Maybe because the volume rocker switch function to be the zoom in & out?

ok this might sound trivial but how do i share files (photos, vids, etc) via nfc? I tried putting my phone (with NFC on for both phones) back facing an xperia ION but i can't seem to find any photo sharing option..

I looked online and they say just open a photo and it will beam across automatically but that didn't happen.. anyone successfully manage to beam stuff over using NFC? How to do it???? thx!

yup! I've enabled it through settings...

May I know where is the beam through NFC option? I can't seem to find it in the usual file sharing option in the Album app for photos...

Thx again!

I'm a lazy person. My camera does the "focus" for me =X

Maybe because the volume rocker switch function to be the zoom in & out?

oh.. nv really thought of this. I never use digital zoom anyways since it makes image quality worse..

Just tried it out on my N8. When listening to music, whole on the camera app, the volume keys controlls the volume so u have to use the on screen zoom...

That is good for n8. But xs is the newer phone with better hardware.
So its up to individual preferences.

Mobile NFC EzLink payment is not available for public transport (MRT, buses) yet. Only applicable at a few merchants e.g. Guardian, 711 etc.

NFC SIM is a one time cost.
