XPERIA mini & mini pro Discussion Thread |

I'm thinking whether to buy an Xperia mini, but I have few questions:
Is there any way to edit or create themes, or you can just use the preset colour shemes?
Is really a common hardware issue the malfunctioning of back and option keys? -the electrostatic noise, which is noticeable in some recorded videos is present in all the devices, and can it be in connection with the malfunctioning of the keys? |

Nobody really knows what it actually is as yet. Maybe you should all be patient & wait for an update from And as far as I know you cannot create or edit themes unless anyone knows different??
Phone?? What phone?? |

@puestadelsol
The electrostatic noise problem affects XPERIA mini pro and the back and option keys problem - the XPERIA mini. |

Yes the quality of video itself is decent with decent sound. I barely noticed it to be honest

Should I bother about the possible malfunctioning of the back and options keys? -Can I verify before buying, if the phone has this problem, or it appears just after a period?
Does the camera have sports mode? Is the LED as strong as the K750's, and how good is the image stabiliser? -can you make decent "party photos" in a club for example?
Thanks |

Yes, it is better to wait before buying.
Here's a video illustrating the problem: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6LEKZx1SEs

Well, there are three ways by which you can force the problem to appear on your unit, if your unit has the problem:
1) Setting the phone on charge and when it's nearing 100% get into the app draw dnd try to open an app.
2) Calling someone for more than 10 minutes.
3) Watching videos or playing games for some time may also cause the issue to manifest.
Some have said that the problem manifested straight away whereas others have said that the problem started to take place after a few days/weeks. Not all units seen to have the issue. Mine does not appear to have it yet, touch wood.

Sorry, I cannot answer these questions. I use my phone sparingly and have not used the camera at all. |

hello guys.
I was just browsing the youtube videos of mini pro uploaded by official sony ericsson namely sonyericssonsupport. Look what i have found. They already know this noise problem and will rectify that in next update. See the highlighted rectangle in the pic. This was posted one week ago. And this week some of mini pro users are having update notification. Can anyone of those who have updated to latest update confirm the noise problem???
This is the link to that page - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBiLely0YHk

Does this problem with the back and options keys only affects the mini, and do these keys work perfectly on all mini pros? Is that a hardware, or software issue, or a combination of those? [ This Message was edited by: puestadelsol on 2011-10-04 01:55 ] |

The problem with the keys is an overheating issue which affects only the minis. The cause of the problem remains unknown, though SE Philippines maintains that the problem lies with the motherboard.
the pro has it's own issue, noise when using the HD video camera. This is supposedly a S/W flaw which will be sorted out with a firmware upgrade. |

I'm pretty glad I waited for the mini pro Camera is decent, music quality is great , calls are clear, internet browsing and social media use is pleasant. Price is pretty good too & I love the compactness of the phone despite the physical keyboard.
An added bonus is that I"m able to view powerpoint presentations on the pro - which is awesome. |

As I said before the noise you get from the plastic cover disturbs much more...
Mine doesn't make any sound. It is really rock-solid. when you attached the back cover, you have to press hard to close it fully at one side (the opposite side of where you start to open the back cover). Check carefully that every angle settle down perfectly.
