New SP

[9516]

Hi there.

I've recently baught the Xperia SP and I find it to be pretty good value for money, there's a lot of technology with the phone which I like.

Though there are some issues I'd like to resolve if anyone can help. Firstly I like to listen to music, I'm using a 32gig card I got for it but is there an easy way to organise your music instead of creating playlists? For example on other MP3 players in the past it's been as easy as seperating music into diferent folders in order to create music lists, only on this is seems to completely ignore the folders and couple music using the metadata instead, I don't want to have to alter such things to keep my music together.

Also I've already read on this forum how the auto brigtness doesn't work unless you upgrade firmware or something, but when I go to update it says it's the most recent firmware and it still doesn't seem to work, I'm forever having to turn the backlight on outside. What is causing this?

Thanks for any tips.

Have a look at PowerAmp - that's a really good music player - does a very good job of making sense of my 30GB music library. You can view your collection as folders, or use the metadata. Can edit MP3 tags too, which is handy.

There's a new update just out - it usually takes a while to get round to everybody and depends on where you are and which network you're on. You sound like you might be from the UK...

There is another thread about screen flickering - if you are affected (I'm not), then the new update doesn't seem to fix it. Before the update I did notice a bit of flicker, but turning the automatic brightness adjust off sorted it.

If you mean my thread im not point to brightness sensor... flickering-minilag is something else..

Try use "Lux lite" app from playstore (free) to calibrate your brightness sensor as you like

I installed PowerAmp an it does have the option for organising music via folders, pretty easy to use too. I also tried LuxLite, though pretty limited free, I have to keep refreshing it instead of it being auto.

Downloading apps like this is pretty frustrating because any like this that are actually useful cost money when it's something you should get with the phone. It's like buying something then having to buy something else to ad on because the thing you baught in the first place isn't functioning how it should.
