hey everyone i just got a samsung focus s yesterday and i was wondering would i go about dev unlocking the same way as the regular focus? i had the original focus and had it dev unlocked to side load apps and all that, but that was even before the no-do update.. just curious, do you unlock it the same way? any info would be awesome thanks everyone!

The right way would be through Chevron WP7 labs, costs $9. Then, you can deploy XAPs, interop unlock, etc.
i did all that and bought the token and it says its unlocked, how can i tell? isnt there a number i can dial to check to see if it is dev unlocked?
I don't believe there is a way to verify it other than than to try and sideload an app. Gotta have faith.

I Chevron-unlocked & interop-unlocked my Focus S yesterday, and sideloaded Advanced Configuration Tools, but I can't seem to get anything to work. Advanced Configuration Tools installs and runs just fine, but everytime I try to change theme colors (all I tried to do so far), I get a message that it "can't apply changes"!
There must be something different with this phone as opposed to the original Focus (which I was able to do these kinds of things without any problem at all) - i.e., different drivers, another layer of security, etc. Whatever it is, I'm anxious for someone to crack it, as all I really want to do is change my theme colors - the original ones get REALLY boring after a while!

I haven't been able to get any xap that changes registry settings to work. Must be a problem with second gen phones.

Hello you Masters!
First of all, HI! My name is Luis, im from Vzla (South America for those that have never look at a map), this is my hmm... third day with a Sony Ericsson Xperia X8, first time using Android (had a BB but well lets say I dropped it and got tired of BB platform so WELCOME ANDROID!) I will be checking and using this forum from now on since is the best site to check for any information regarding my X8 and i will be glad to be an active member of this community so pleeease excuse me for being a noob and for my very very bad english.
Now, Thx to this site I managed to root my phone and install a new launcher (yaay im a pro xD) BUT there are a lot of things i dont know how to do and theres particulary one that makes me go mad, my music library contains not only the music I download but also EVERY SINGLE voice note y send/receive using WhatsApp and I dont like this, so is there any way to change the folder where those voicenotes will be saved so they dont merger with my music? It´s very annoying to be listening to music and suddenly a wild sexy voicenote from my girlfriend appears while my phone is plugged to an Stereo and all my family is listening... Yes, it happened...
OH! and the other thing is "can I make my phone to turn off the screen after 1 minute BUT without it being blocked? so i can just press a butttom to make it come to life again without needing to unlock it again? something like i just want it to lock ONLY if i press the top buttom"
Thx in advance for any help you could give me.
Hello. Welcome to xda
Stock player don't have option to set a library folders. I love PowerAmp, which is the best player in my opinion (it's free for 14 days). It has such option, so it's quite handy.
And few words about lockscreen. In custom ROMs such as GingerDX or MiniCM you'll find CyanogenMod Settings with many cool tweaks. You should try it, your phone will be fast as hell

Hi
Probably not possible but i like the blind swipe effect for the lockscreen on the phone but also would like to have the pin feature as well for security. I had both features on my jailbroken 4s but it seems you can only choose one or the other for Xperia. Is there any way possible to achieve this?
Also regarding emoji icons...i miss them coming from Apple I've searched google and it seems to only be possible possible to get them via rooting methods which I don't want to do as I like the BE. Isn't there a simpler way to see/use emoji icons?? It's actually doing my head in since it seems like such a simple feature and can't believe it hasn't been implemented
Any help appreciated

Aren't there SMS apps like chomp SMS that use emoji in the play store?
I'm coming from the Nexus 4 and on the Google version of 4.2 they've included an emoji pack that can be used throughout the OS. I'd imagine that Sony will include it whenever they release their version of 4.2 for the Z.

i told that if u clear it u will have swipe.
didn't say both swipe and pin.
but i m sure that we will have first firmware update and it will repair almost of bug and problem; like notification led and lock screen.
But in another android phone when u choose pin or pattern mode for lock screen face-lock mode and another low level security become disabled;
at least i saw this in s ii, arc, x S, gs3
but difference is swipe mode remained in these phones but in xZ not
Oh ok just gotta wait and see...

Hi!
Xperia Z came with Andriod 4.1.2 If i remember it correctly, this version worked really good. I recently upgraded it to Android 4.2.2 and now its laggy, slow and has alot of bugs.. The camera got black spots which according to some posts are software related - I don't see how that is possible but ok.
So my question is: If I factory reset the phone from the menu, do I get andriod 4.1 back?

Nope, i have the 4.2.2 stock rom without any slow or any bug like most of users here. The camera has no problem as well. I don't see as well how it's possible especially when you don't talk about any bugs you have...

Slow = depends completely of what applications you have installed, the default stock rom => no lag here so maybe something haven't worked correctly during your update
Camera bug => it's answered on your thread, the black stuff seems to be the dust inside the camera lens, return your phone for repairing. http://talk.sonymobile.com/message/489865#489865

Hey,
I'm new here and don't completely know how it works here, so if this thread is in the wrong location, sorry.
I've update my HTC One to stock android 4.3 and sense 5.5 (software 3.62.401.0).
I noticed that when i open messages and i want to click on the three dots/+, in the upper right corner it won't open it.
It flashes blue really fast when i tap it, but it won't open, this also happends when I'm browsing through my photo's and want to share them.
Although I can share them when I open up whatsapp or gmail and the go in the gallery.
I hope someone can tell me if this is a bug or...?
I haven't had this problem with android 4.2
I hope my English is clear enough, it's hard to explain this problem when english is not your native language.

Enable "Animations" in SETTINGS -> DEVELOPER OPTIONS -> ADVANCED. That should get it working.

Thanks for the quick reply!
It's really weird, because sometimes it did work without animations.
I tried it already around twenty times with animations on and it keeps working! :victory:
Will there be a fix that it works without animations? I really hate them, it makes everything feel slow!

Probably somewhere/sometime some dev is gonna find a fix (oh maybe even HTC ), for now we'll have to live with it. It "was introduced" with the 4.3 update, 4.1.2 and 4.2.2 worked just fine.
Hit the thanks button if I helped and if the issue is resolved, please add [SOLVED] to the main thread title. thanks.

I think there's an app in play store for that called No Lock.
Thanks man, it works with No Lock !!
