The Official Xperia S thread

[timberland]

anyone knows what software can control the Transparent Strip LED ?

i want it to be lighted up *blink* when there is incoming calls, sms, whatsapps etc.

is there such a program ?

Light Flow is for the small LED on top nia. not for the strip.

or maybe i should do it the *hard* way instead of using *software*

Bro.. thank you very much..

No problemo. Though greedy I am, I still am an honest by~ =D

Too bad he's not a girl +_+

And also, good begets good. Your shop sell so cheap, and you bothered to save the last white set for me, of course I must repay in kind~

Haha come to think of it, this kinda sounds like some public relations marketing strategy~

has anyone ever encountered this:
1. while playing youtube on xperia, you skip or move the time forward manually
2. stop youtube
3. sound from youtube movie continues but you cannot disable youtube as its not found running on the "running applications"?

Any bro rooted their phone, maybe can share which apps or service can be del using titanium? I can't stand so many apps and service running..

 

[enegue84]

Yeah, would like to know if any tech gurus out there managed to root their XS and still retain full functionality (if not most) of the mobile.

Wow, that's great! I wanna get rid of some apps too, like Timescape and possibly that ANT radio thing... then all those AppXtra, skoob, plus a bunch of other Singtel stuff...

Thanks for sharing this list, I can now add officesuite and recommender to the must-get-rid list. Would like to follow suit too, just that I'm not sure what would happen if I stopped those com.se.* items. If over-zealous in killing some modules, scared may destabilize the phone.

Would be good to compile a list of safe-to-stop/freeze modules, or at least provide details on what this ABC/XYZ module does, and if it is a dependency for any other app. Unless of course, all of them are isolated modules running on their own.

Edit:
Currently reading up some threads in the xda-developer XS sub-section (http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1518). Got lots of advice on rooting, bootloader unlocking/relocking, etc.

i've been playing with arc for awhile now and now xs.... if your bootloader is unlock, you can just fastboot the image again if the system become unstable.

So adix, your warranty is no more? Understand we can re-lock it. So does the warranty still stand after re-lock? Me thinking of unlocking too

By the way, can PM me your store location bor? I was at AMKHub running up and down cannot find you...
