Questions about sony xperia E dual

[nunoliveira89]

Hello,

Before all i'm a happy owner of a Xperia E DUAL, congrats for sony for this dual sim. Low price and good hardware.

Now i have some questions about this phone:

- In sms app why can't i send sms with more than one sms (long sms with a lot of characters)? My carrier suports long sms.

- In sms app why when i send a mms, the mms is sent but in thread conversation it disappeard?

- why everytime i boot my phone the contacts for both sim are improted? Its suppose only to import one time, right?

-It is possible to remove some home screens? There are 5 screens and i only need 2, but i cant remove teh others.

Some notes:

- THe stock keybord is really bad, at first i thought it could be some problem of the screen but then i installed other keyboard and now everything is ok.

- Facebook in Xperia i cant get it connected.

best regards,

nuno Oliveira

1) that's a carrier/network restriction/settings, special characters count as 2 or 3.

2) which messaging app are you using?

3) go to phonebook > menu > filter > select how you want your contacts to be synced, if you select the SIM card it will check every time

4) you can not add nor remove homescreens, you need to use a different homelauncher

fb can you elaborate on this issue?

1) thats not a restrictions from carrier. Its a limitation or a bug of the app.

2) this problems are with stock app, but now i don't have any problem because i installed go sms pro

3) i unchecked that option and i reboot the phone and it start sync contacts from sim 1 and sim 2 again. i cant understand

4) you suggest any app fpr homelauncher?

5) I cant specify, i do my login and as soos as the login is done i tap the screen i the app goes off.

Three more questions:

6) where can i buy a cover an a screen protector for this phone

7) Can i buy a "bigger" batery?

😎 i read the manual and this part: "

To activate a power saving mode

1. From your Home screen, tap .
2. Find and tap Power Saver.
3. Tap the icon next to the power saving mode that you want to activate."

I cant found in my applications menu.

Thanks for the help and the quick reply

2) sync your contacts from both SIM cards to your phone > then sync your contacts to google > on your computer go to your gmail > contacts > check if they are all there, if they are all there then

on your phone

phonebook > filter > uncheck everything and only select google

1) I installed GO SMS Pro, and the problems disappered. So i think the problems come from the stock sms app.

3) I import all contacts from simcards to phone contacts. now how can i synchronize my contacts to gmail account?

4) I will try GO Launcher EX. Thanks.

5) Didn't work but this is not a thing that bothers me. Maybe is some definition that i have in my facebook account. I have a lot of restrictions there. thanks.

6) I found on ebay. Ordered two covers and screen protectors. Thanks

7) Found a 1700mAh, They say in this site that the capacity is only 13% but the performance is must better. have you try any battery of them?

😎 Done, Thanks.

Another thing:

What blue light (bottom of the phone) is this that light up when the screen is turn on?

[Uliwooly]

1) I'm glad the issue is gone

3) check this thread

http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/36355

4) let us know how it goes

5) it might be fb itself of an antivirus on your phone

6) you don't have to remove the pre-installed shatter proof film

7) if you will get less than 50% increase on battery performance it's not worth it, but that's my opinion

can you elaborate on the blue light?

[Uliwooly]

that seems to be a variant of what the Xperia S, P and U have

try this app and see if you can customize it

SMS/MMS &/or Missed Calls notification bar light
