Is it possible to hide the home button and view online pages full screen?
Took a few pics today and when using the zoom the pictures were dreadful, any reason?
Is this phone not good for pictures?
thanks
Depending on your browser choice, yes you can have full screen...
With regards to the camera there are a lot threads about this! Camera is good however the software is yet to be fine tuned.. Couple of mods you can try while waiting for Sony to pull their finger out!
Xperia Z
Yes u need to be rooted and install full screen toggle and Lmt launcher for getting rid of home button and full screen. And some browser do have the possibility of full screen surfing. Google Chrome, dolphin, to just mention a few.

Ya you can, there is a topic about this in the Themes section.

Hello,
Is there an app or a setting that I can take pictures with just simply tapping anywhere on the screen and not the actual take shot button? this is kind of annoying. thanks in advance.
As far as I know, there isn't any mod to touch anywhere to take a pic, but if you get sgstools from the market, there is a camera hack in there that allows you to take it with the power button.
I swyped this with my butt, using the XDA app.
Just downloaded the Dolphin Pad browser from the market and is oh so sweet. Made for the tablet and has gestures. Check it out.
is it that much better than dolphin v6?

I think so. It feels much more like its built for a larger screen than HD. No more finger at the bottom (gosh that got in my way). Not glitchy anymore when swiping bookmarks open either. My screen used to stick when I swiped to open bookmarks.
i still like the stock version =P since i've gotten the xoom i havent went for any browsers yet
I do like this new browser a lot! It's about time they made a browser to focus specifically on tablets, more specifically... the Honeycomb tablets. The settings menu looks so much like the Honeycomb system settings menu... split screen windows. I'm coming from Dolphin Browser HD myself. I think I will be converting to Dolphin Pad soon.
Looking forward to future updates!
always use dolphin since I bought my xoom. Thanks.
I may be dim here, but how do you get it to recognize gestures? In Dolphin HD you would just touch and hold the lower left corner of the screen.

Is some kind Xoomer able to post the .apk? The market will not allow non-honeycomb tablets to download it, It would be much appreciated.

There is an icon (circle with triangle inside) next to refresh icon on top right. Click it
Awesome! Thanks for the find. I'm not much on Beta so I am looking forward to a final release. I'll follow the thread and thanks again!
I'll try it and see how it handles
Crashed on me once. Other than that, nothing else bugs me about it. Feels much faster than stock... Incredibly.

Nice find. I didn't see that one.
Question. Does Dolphin allow the browsing tab bar to stay at the top? That's the main reason why I use the stock browser because I can press on the tabs easily anytime.
I remember that scrolling down a long web page in Dolphin will just make the tabs disappear and I had to scroll back up to the top of the page before I can use the tabs.

The tabs don't scroll in this version. I like it better than dolphin HD.
Am I the only person that hates having no back button on the top left side for these browsers. I like the full screen button, but when I go full screen I lose the back button...would make sense to add a small back button or option for that.
I also hate the gesture button on the right side, but it is better than the phone version in the bottom left corner IMO.
I love the popup menu on the stock browser, but hate that it hides the tabs...wish someone would copy that or create a solution where the controls can be hit in the corners specified by the user.
I must be holding my tablet wrong
Am I missing something?
Want to import my bookmarks from Dolphin HD to this version but can't find any option to import bookmarks using the backup file I created in the phone version?
And really like this version. Same speed as the phone version but with better ui for the bigger screen.

thank you diablo, I couldn't get it on the market from Belgium (was announced "not available anymore")... I was also using Dolphin HD 6 on my tablet, along with Opera mobile, I'll try this one on my Transformer in the evening.

Thanks for the post, looks like they really have coded it specifically for honeycomb devices though, the rest of us will have to wait.
As the title says, is there a way to change the app that's launched? I use the pro version of camera fx and it makes a huge difference for automatic pictures! It would be awesome to launch it with the camera button rather than a app icon on the home screen! Thanks in advance guys

Of course.
Just go to settings/app and find camera app (it's under "all" tab) and disable it.
Now press camera button and your app should start.
Many camera apps have option to set it as a default camera, are you sure there's not option there.
This advice should work - it worked on Xperia S and "better camera".

Can you be more specific about the difference bit ?
I've heard nexus 4 people say it helped with blur free shots as it reads the accelerometer and waits to get a steady shot.
Anything else ?
hm somehow that's not working for me. if i set camerafx to default i get no popup where im asked if i want to use it as default after i hit the camera button. its working when i disable the stock camera app - but only when my screen is on.
when the screen is off and i press the camera button i just get to see the homescreen but camera is not launching - i have to press the button again then.
any suggestions?
Not working for me either.. Still uses sony camera

I'm in the same boat as you mate, tbh i don't mind though just have to press it twice. Still allot easier than opening an app?

It just takes way longer that way. If you want to make a quick snapshot you're gonna lose the Moment.

Yeah it has a really good stable shot mode that waits for the best time to take the photo, but tbh the automatic mode is set to 20mp by default and just takes better shots with way less noise!
What app are you guys exactly talking about? Pro Camera FX? Camera Zoom FX?

so did anyone manage to launch another cam than stock by pressing the camera button "once"?
this is really bugging me, i tried everything. installed default app manager, set cam fx default and disabled stock cam. still if the screen is off i have to press the button twice. (first press gets me to homescreen and i need to press it a 2nd time to launch cam fx).
Please Help
Ok, i have had a problem. The dedicated camera button is to sensitive on my Xperia Z1 so it just launches the camera by itself, and in my pocket, which is very annoying. I have tryed to disable the camera and then it don't launch the camera, but it unlocks the screen and vibrates. And if i am in snapchat or any other camera app it just randomly takes a photo because of the button. So is there any way to disable the button completely? i have a rooted Xperia and my bootloader unlocked. Please help me!
I was wondering how to move my home screen from the one on the far left to the center screen? I have looking for a way for a couple hours and can't find it.
No way to do it on the stock launcher.
Haven't found one either

I haven't found a way either. I bought my phone Thursday, the moment it was released. Prior to that, while researching some pre release reviews (I read so many, Phone Arena, Droid Life, CNET, etc etc) I ran across a review lamenting the fact that the home screen was moved to the left instead of the center, but I can't remember which site it was. I had the Home screen in the center on my 2013 Droid Maxx and then I had screens to the left and right with various themes (this is my media, music and movies screen, this is my games screen, this is my productivity, etc). The location of the Home screen on the Turbo is where I had my music, movies, and media on my Maxx. It was weird getting used to the Home screen being all the way to the left, but after a few days I'm fine with it.
Just move the stuff on your home screen to a different page...
Home is Home

If he moves the stuff on the Home screen to a different page when he hits the Home button it will take him to a page he doesn't want.

Long press on a blank part of any screen, widgets and wallpaper option appear at the bottom. At this point you can long press any of the pages and move them around.
Thanks, that's useful. But it doesn't solve the problem that pressing the "home" button takes you to the leftmost screen. It was much handier having it take me to the center screen, from which I could swipe left or right for my three main screens.

Can't be done on the Turbo, without a 3rd party launcher.

Nova works the same as stock with more customization. I'd recommend trying it

Exactly. Nova is also very fast.
Plus you can add number of screens, decide how many rows/columns of icons you want per page.
You can upload backups of your screen layout to Dropbox or email, so any future phone can have the layout you want.
Lots of stuff.
I even have a different icon theme than Kitkat, downloaded from Google store.
Got this from Sakitech on Youtube... A big thankyou to his show...
Go to stock Gallery app, Hit the 3 dots on the right hand side (around the middle of the screen) to bring out the menu.
Go to Settings>About Gallery.
On the word "version" under the Gallery heading tap 8 times, It should show a count down, to activate Gallery Labs.
Go back to menu and at bottom you should now have Gallery Labs with a whole heap more options including some UI 2.5 options...
Enjoy....
thanks a lot it works
I saw it on some comment on his videos a few weeks ago and been using it since then.

No problem, thought it might be of interest, haven't seen anything about it on the forum...
Also supposed to be able to get photo editor labs when you take a live focus photo, go to the gallery, pick the live focus photo then edit to go into photo editor. You then hold the sticker icon for at least 5 seconds and the photo editor labs comes up with the option to change the depth view of the sticker.
Did work for me with an older version of photo editor but did a factory reset and I'll be buggered if I can get it to work again...
Was a great feature... Hopefully it will make it into the photo editor in a future update...
