How to rotate the desktop in landscape mode?
In applications, the rotation works without problems. Rotation of the desktop is supported only when HDMI or USB is connected (not to the docking station).
You can set the widget to turn the desktop manually, for example fromof this comment
What is the difference between charging dock and USB charging?
In fact, it is more important to which current source the USB cable is connected, the PC socket provides 500mA and the charger is 850mA, the higher current shortens the charging time. It is important that there is an instruction in the manual - when charging the docking station, the cable should only be connected to a charger, using the PC's USB port is prohibited. When installed on the docking station, power is supplied through the contacts on the left side of the phone, and not via microUSB. Perhaps each port uses its own controllers, the second controller is built into the docking station. This is done so that while using the USB host you can charge the phone. Express charging is carried out when charging through the docking station.
How to check the body - Rostest or Eurotest?
How quiet is the speaker? Is it possible to increase the volume?
Quieter than, for example, in samsung i8910, but much louder than in Nokia 5530, it's not a problem to get used to it.
the volume and quality can be slightly adjusted by installing a third-party enhancement, more in the firmware theme

See comment
What is the screen coverage?
No one knows - Sony is silent. There is a possibility that Dragontrail, but - only supposedly

The screen coating is a factory-made, durable film that is hard to tear off and scratch, although I'm lying, just scratching is easy

Not. Alarm clock can be set to third-party, or create a special ringtone with incremental sound, the same with a call.
Why doesn't the Russian layout work on an external USB keyboard?
There is no Russian localization for it in the system, you need to install an additional program, you can use the one specified inthis comment.

Only up to channel 10. Those. 2.4 GHz.see comment
There is a solution to expand to channel 14 -see comment
Why does the TV control not work?
Depends on the TV, not all models support this protocol.
Examples:does not work, works

There is no such option in the stock call. You can install a special third-party program, as well as similar functionality offers the majority of antiviruses, or use the advicefrom this comment(alternative method without additional software).
Why, after upgrading the firmware, did the battery consumption increase?
It is possible to make an objective conclusion about the energy saving of one or another ROM 4-5 days after its installation - when the ROM itself, as well as the installed software, “settles”
INFA taken from this cap
How, after updating the firmware, should the caller return a dark background, etc.?
Without root and intervention in the system in any way.
Why doesn't the native player see recently added files?
Unfortunately, file reindexing occurs only after rebooting the phone.

Yes, but only through a USB cable, for a docking station 0.5 A (standard for USB ports), the current is too low.
Why does not work / does not work (slow) internet? On the old phone with this sim card everything is fine.
This is often the case with those who switched to Androyd from other platforms. In most cases, there is a problem with the SIM card, it is either old (two or three years for electronics, a decent period for which standards and firmware drivers are changed) or not configured properly. After making sure that the phone is set up correctly and there is a sure reception in your area, contact your operator. SIM replacement usually helps, most operators change it for free.
Why is it not cloudy with full screen sync with contacts from Google?
For the photo to be in full screen when you call, you need to add contacts to the Starred in Android group.

It seems yes, the SXS filling in a protected case, in fact, this is the Japanese Sony Xperia acro HD, which reached the Russian / European market.

Qualcomm S3 Yes, how can you release your flagship with such a processor. It is not surprising that Sony has less than a percentage of the market.


Sony prices are much lower than existing flagships. Name at least one reason why a percent with 4 cores is now needed. Reference to other manufacturers is not considered.

That's how:
Xperia acro is not afraid of water and dust. This durable mobile phone with a touch screen has the highest level of protection against moisture among all smartphones. Want to take it with you in the shower? Forward! In addition, the phone is protected from dust. Accidentally dropped it in a glass with a drink or in the children's sandbox? Do not worry. Just shake it off and keep doing your stuff.

The buyer will be. : yes2:

Is the case monolithic or is the back cover also removed, only to insert a SIM card?


Still, xperia S is easier to take if IP67 is not critical. While sales wait for something else announce. I learned the bitter experience with HTC = (



Rep: (7)

Monolithic, Simka is inserted from the side, next to the microSD.

Release Date: Q1 2012 in Japan, Q3 2012 in Europe

half a year difference?

may still in the European version will be more modern features. In any case, I want to hope so.

Rep: (54)
The main thing is that they do not turn off production.

Sony Mobile is even less than a year old.and from the reports for the first quarter of 2012, Sony is ahead of HTC. And yesterday in London, Steve Walker (head of marketing at Sony) announced that Sony would begin to introduce innovations in the field of hardware, which they could not do at the time of Sony Ericsson. Also, as you know, Sony ended the fiscal year with large losses and the shareholders of the Japanese company slightly "put pressure" on Kazuo Hirarri (the company's CEO), who said thatprobably 4-core smartphone will appear in 2012. From all this it follows that the Japanese will start building up iron in their products. About the software, too, will not be forgotten.

I'll wait for the end of the year and see what comes out from Sony. While an eye laid on Acro HD.

Of course, if it's not about protecting the IP67 standard.

The main feature of this smartphone. So far there are no more secure smartphones with such almost top-end iron and a wonderful screen. There is a buyer for this toy. It is likely that I, for example.

UPDATE: White paper models. RAM - 1GB. Built-in memory - 16 GB (11 GB available to the user) + slot for memory cards. The filling is the same as in Xperia S.

How to say...
Protection of the case and slot of a memory card and Android 4 out of the box and a reinforced 1910 mAh battery - These are powerful arguments in favor of the device under discussion!

I am upset because I like their price policy in Sony, recently the support of updates, and the approach to bundling, as well as the design. but how it was possible to put C3 and adreno 220. enough to endure it


Believe me, there is a buyer. Not everyone takes the bodies to play on it, this is to talk about the process and the GPU. It is immediately evident that Xperia acro S and is not designed for mass consumption. Many people do not like shovels 4.5 and above (for example, I). Many people just want a more or less unique design. And then 4.3 inches + a powerful battery + percent, which will cope perfectly well with the tasks of the “slightly above average” difficulty level + I rub the RGB display (which is also more economical than pentail) + protection from dirt and water + 12MP camera. With such a battery and not the most brutal process, he will live 100% with you a working day to the end. Yes, ololo, I will buy it to replace SGS2 :)

What kind of weak glands are they talking about here? I've launched Mass Effect (with lags) on my X10 with adreno 200. And Dead Space (without lags). It seems to me that the difference between the games of 2010 and 2011 is much bigger than 2011-2012. Already, it is clear that new games are much less demanding of hardware. Two nuclei - for the eyes. Enough for all applications for at least a year. Maybe some really very sophisticated 3d shooters will not pull next year, but is it so important? So much in the gland no one will lose.

Good phone, I would even say great.
But only one thing spoils everything, the third quarter !!!

I think that in June, the maximum in the middle of July can already be bought. I will explain the logic: this is not a completely new phone, but a small remake of the Japanese Acro HD, i.e. I need to test there just a new firmware, not a fully hardware platform, plus, I very much hope that Sony marketers understand the price of delay until the end of summer, or, not enough, until the autumn - there is a presentation of the iPhone, for this reason, many manufacturers have finished Spring - the beginning / middle of summer, they planned to release as many flagships as possible, because 1-2 months before the iPhone presentation, everyone will hold their breath and hide money under the mattress for the new Apple product :)
