EDIT: I've now seen that in the sub forum for the "old" Xperia Mini Pro (which SHOULD have X10 in the name, tbh), there is info regarding the "new" Mini Pro. Would i not be simpler to make two SEPERATE sub forums (the phones look COMPLETELY different after all)

Hi [email protected]
please could you create a sub forum for the new Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini Pro. This is NOT the same as the Xperia X10mini Pro (the one with silver buttons and a slide out keyboard). I am talking about this
This is a beast of a phone under the hood, but being a brand new phone, there are some tips and hints I have to share with people already!
Thanks in advance and, as always, thank you for making all this pooling of knowledge and ROM making and more possible!

Xperia Pro SK17a(i) "Mango" & MK16a(i) "Lyoken"
This is called the "Mango" and model # SK17a (North America) SK17i Europe. I have a black SK17a, just got it yesterday and playing with it. (This is follow up model to the U20) I'm also waiting for th MK16a (i) which is the Xperia Pro "Lyoken" and have played with it in Black. Awesome phone but all black surfaces are glossy and terrible finger print magnets. The SK17a, so far has a matt black keyboard surface and is much better in this regard. It is a smaller phone and smaller screen than the Pro (lyoken) version.
Amyone know where to get the Silver MK16A?
Cheers,
Takoda

I've played with both and decided to buy the MK16a. The keyboard felt a lot better to use and the bigger screen was definitely worth having. The phone is still pretty small for a full QWERTY inside and feels great in your hand. It's slightly curved on the back side, making it fit perfectly in your palm, both when talking on it as a normal phone, or in landscape mode to give you something to grip onto.
I got the black version and have to say it really is a beautiful device. The chrome buttons and side plating are beautiful compared to the black case. My only complaint about that is it's a fingerprint magnet, as you said. But really, it's JUST fingerprints.... it's not the end of the world. A quick rub of the sleeve will get them to disappear pretty fast.
If you want a cheap black version, the Canadian carrier Fido is selling them in Canada for $350 off contract. Unfortunately Fido locked down the bootloader, so you have to use SETools to unlock it. But that's easy enough to do - just costs a bit more money and some patience. PM me for more info if you're interested and I'll send you in the right direction.
Now, if anyone has any information on how to ROOT the MK16a (Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro) it would be GREATLY appreciated!! There are plenty of instructions for the rest of the family - the Arc, Neo, Play, but not the Pro.
lil size but awsome spec

Does anyone know if this is supported (old style 'real keys' texting)?

I've never had an Android phone before so I don't know if it's QWERTY only, many thanks for the help!
I have done a search but can't find anything, plus for some reason the XDA side goes a bit 'wonky' on my work computer (links/image/searches` not showing).
You get 3 Options (much like on windows mobile) :
1) Full QWERTY (which works absolutely great btw)
2) Mini QWERTY (like on the blackberrys)
3) Keypad/T9
I would highly recommend the swype keyboard.
As a G1 owner I was convinced I wasn't going to get a phone without a real keyboard untill I used it - and it's only because I find it so easy to use, and fast, that I am now going to upgrade to the Desire.
See I went from a 'normal' phone to the X1 so I'm used to a 'really' keyboard or T9 multi tap and was worried about not being able to text correctly!
The other question I have (not really related to the keyboard) is about the resolution difference between the Desire and the Legend.
I prefer the look of the Legend and it's size however after having an x1 with it's high resolution (though tiny 3" screen) I'm worried that I would find the Legends lower resolution inferior to the x1, which had naturally lead me to the Desire, however I'm concerned about the overall size.
What do you guys think, does HVGA look rubbish on a 3.2" screen or is it fine compared to the like of the Sony Ericssons x1 3" WVGA?!?

Obviously, the pixel density is significantly higher on the X1 compared to the Legend so you will notice a difference. I suppose the best thing for you to do is to go to a store and play with the Hero which has the same screen size and resolution. See if that's ok with you. Keep in mind that the Legend's screen will be supposedly crisper due to the AMOLED.
Personally, I think the pixel density on the Legend/Hero is fine. This is coming from someone who's used to high pixel density of the Diamond and Touch Pro2.
Many thanks for coming back to me, I might nip into a shop when the phones are out. The only problem is that I live in Northern Ireland and sometimes it's hard to find a shop which sells 'smart' phones, it's usually just iphones and nokias!
Hi everyone,
Does anyone how to contact Samsung for requesting them to design an official accessory? Or even an after market company if its interested in making physical (bluetooth?) keyboard for Galaxy note.
Something like this:

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

I don't think anyone buying Galaxy note is concerned about the size or thickness of such accessory and probably it can make gripping the phone easier. Also, it is possible to add more battery juice with such design. With all that in mind, I think there is a great market for such accessory for this phone or other phones in general.
What do you think about this? and Do you know any contact info for samsung (Not the customer service - I want to contact someone who takes my words seriously) or other companies to ask them for such accessory?
Brief info (You can skip it):
I really got tired from waiting for mobile with dual-core (now seems: quad cores are coming), good GPU, 1GB RAM & with sd-card extendability and decent screen with physical keyboard and good battery. After long time waiting, Galaxy Note came to meet my needs, but with only one major thing missing for me a physical keyboard. After seeing a physical case for iPhone, I said why there can't be any for Galaxy note? and here I am writing new thread about this.
OMG this accessory is my DREAM.
Is theire any keybord like this compatible with the Galaxy S2 ???

eBay and Google might help you in this. Yesterday, I couldn't find one for Samsung Galaxy (Only for TAB like dock) or anything rather than iPhone.

First, thanks for this useful post.
I think I needed to be more specific about this, the keyboard should be in case. I mean when you need it, you slide it out and when finish get it in. Like Droids(milestones) and Xperia Pro/Play.
It is really annoying to carry bt keyboard with you all the time (as the official bt keyboard).
By the way, Logitech keyboard doesn't seems particle. Having it seems better than nothing and I'll need to think about it more. Also, Do you think it going to fit with Galaxy note?
Edit: it seems the guy with the keyboard (Logitech diNovo Mini) attached it to his dell streak with tape.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2eSWHLL1N8&feature=player_embedded
The Logitech keyboard looks amazing. I think i will buy it and test with my Note. But it's pretty expensive. So it will take some time.
I like physicall keyboards, and I think for such a big device like the Note you can create a great keyboard, better then HTC's.
I found on amazon some interesting bluetooth keyboards. And much cheaper. Honestly they cost min. 30 €.
I think i will order one in sone weeks for testing. If it will be good, i think i can make a matching case myself.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA App
Anyone managed to hardhack the diNovo Mini and the Note together ?
Great keyboard but expensive ... I'm looking this with Azerty keyboard and more cheaper ...
So yesterday I got a brand new Xperia Pro. It's a great phone, but it seems there may be a problem with the screen.
It has a very annoying yellow tint to it. This becomes especially bothersome on white webpages, where whites look yellowish.
Compared to my Motorola Milestone and my sister's Xperia Pro Mini, the screen of my Pro is definitely a lot warmer as far as white color temp is concerned. I'd say its around 5500-5800K.
This is really annoying, because every other monitor I use has colder whites, thus making the Pro's whites look even worse to my eyes.
I'm planning on having the phone replaced, but I won't do so until I know this is a problem and not a feature.
Any other users experience this?
Thanks in advance!

When you say 'gamma' plugin, do you mean the nightmode function?
on live with walkman too
I am seeing this on the live with walkman too, did you find out if this is a problem with the screen (like the Xperia S issue) or if its a 'feature'?
and did you endup replacing it?
What about a flickering?
I haven't noticed it, but then maybe I'm not paying that much attention to the color hues anyway.
What bothers me at times is a slight flickering that I seem to notice randomly for a fraction of a second.
Has anyone seen these or are my eyes failing me?
Is there any solution for this problem? my xperia pro also got this problem +_+ anyone can help?
Guys any accessories for Xperia pro. Like jelly cases, designer back covers or any thing.

In India you cant find it in almost any store or eBay.,
Yes same problem here, I need a new screen protector, (an original, not a cut to size thing) which seems impossible to get hold of, also a good case.
I had a lovely case for my LG EVE which clipped to the keyboard part of the phone to allow the screen to slide, lovely, nothing like this for the Pro
Its like this phone doesn't exist or something, even XDA are ignoring this phone :'(
Having said that, 'Mobile Fun' sell a nice Krusell case, though I was hoping to find something more colourful.
what a pity we are.
its so difficult to find any accessories for xperia pro

It might also be a good idea if the OP for this thread could also maintain an index of all other Accessories threads on Xperia Pro (like is done on Xperia Pro development master thread).
Maybe also include a link to the Neo Accessories section for matters concerning batteries, as the Neo and Pro share the BA700 and not BA750 of Arc.

For my Xperia Pro I only have a Zagg Invisibleshield, it's about 18 dollars on eBay (when there are some in stock) but you won't have to worry about your screen ever again.

I'm not worrying about the screen.. but the scratches and the colour gone on the back side hurts me..
There's a "Full Body" of the same protector, which also comes with a same material protector for thbe back of the phone.
Camera and speaker holes are precutted so you only have to put it on top of your cellphone, it's completely crystal clear, you should try it, my phone is still scratchless.
Does anyone have suggestions for an external speaker (Sony Original preferred) for Xperia Pro?
It's a shame companies do "iPod/iPhone compatible" devices when most Android devices have better, crispier and more clear sounds than Apple do.
Anyways, most of the time I just use it in the car.
I have read a fair amount about pens for the ultra etc. but cannot seem to filter down to find out if a pen (active or capacative) would work with my s21 (base model), not plus/ultra.
An old report from here states only ultra works with the new s pen, but i'm opening the conversation up to all pens/stylus's
How does the S-Pen support on the Galaxy S21 series work?
The Samsung Galaxy S21 series has just launched, but does it support the S-Pen? It's... complicated. We have all of the details here!
www.xda-developers.com
Has anyone experience of this? I am assuming the basic foam end capacative one would work, but would an active pen work? I tried my old HP active stylus, but to no avail, that said it was invented with the ark...
THoughts please and suggestions of pens (if they work) greatly appreciated please, ideally UK orientated shops.
Thank you
Since I left the Samsung Note 4, I've been trying to find a stylus to use to the other phones I bought. The passive are not worth it. I bought a few active, the best being one called Gosin active stylus. I cannot seem to find it anymore, but it looks a lot like this. Mine uses an AA battery (not sure for this one, looks like it does too), it's heavy and thick, but works flawlessly.
I also bought the Blitzwolf Active stylus. At first it worked terribly, but since I removed the plastic tip and started writing with the metal nib, everything was fixed. Don't care if the metal nib could damage the screen (which it doesn't) since I have a tempered glass.
The blitzwolf works very well, the Gosin almost perfectly.
Arh, so an active capacitive pen will work, but i guess it'll effectively be replicating a finger press. So no smart features like pressure, thickness etc.
Thank you for the feedback, i'll take a look at them.

Works as good as the other, more expensive mentioned above. The magnetic cap protects the USB port, the on/off switch works firmly and in general is as good as it can get. No reason to try anything else.
Now that the S Pen Pro is out (as seen at https://www.samsung.com/uk/smartphones/galaxy-z-fold3-5g/accessories/ ) has anyone bought it? It seems pricy, and I've no idea how you'd best keep it in your pocket...

I don't think it would work on S21, only on the 21 ultra, and I am not sure about the S21+.

Im pretty sure that the s21 (standard and +) does not have the layer between the screen to work with the S Pen. Only the ultra has it.
