Why Sony released old android? as i know 2.3.7 is current, not 2.3.4.

we ask the same questions, this is what I think SE s hould do for now on

SE should release vanilla versions of Android, that mean w/o all the bloatware and customizations, make all those apps, widgets, etc available from the market, that will speed up android update release and it will give us, the users, a lot more internal space and control on our phone.

once you press the shooter or you touch the screen move it not too fast not too slow, also if there's a light source contrast it will mark an error

Uliwooly — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 06:37:04 GMT

if you move it too fast or there is a huge light source difference you will get this gray areas or errors

that was an example of using the Panoramic camera

download the apk on your computer, send it to yourself through email, make sure you send it to your Gmail

now on your phone

go to settings -> applications -> check unknown sources

wait for the email, once you get the email, open it, and instead of downloading the attachment it will allow you to install it, voila, done

BTW what you mean by "

so maybe it would be nice if you fix your posts to suit this model cause maybe someone will be doing this for the first time.. like me and don't know which to press VOL+ or VOL- to enter ClockWork i use VOL- so i think to go to flash mode need to press VOL+
