Hello,
I'm new to this forum and new to the p500 (well, actually I don't have the phone myself but both my daughter and son got one for Christmas).
First of all, we live in Norway and we have trouble making Norwegian the default language on one of the phones.
On initial startup, we were asked in German to enter PIN, then we chose Norwegian from the list of languages. So far so good. After being off overnight, when we turn on the phone we're asked in German to enter PIN, after that the phone language is Swedish (!). We enter "Settings", "Locale and text", "Choose language" and then Norwegian. After that everything is fine until the phone is turned off and on again, when it reverts back to German and Swedish.
On the other phone where we have no problems it says "Norwegian" under "Choose language", on the problem phone it says nothing here regardless of language chosen, so it looks like the chosen language is not "remembered".
I've done a factory reset, to no avail.
Setting the language each time the phone is switched on is a bit boring so I really hope someone on this forum knows a solution to this.
I recently purchased the HTC Mozart, I'm happy with it but the only problem I have with the phone is that the only text input on the device is a full QWERTY keyboard, every phone I have had to date has had alphanumeric with predictive text or in many cases the choice to choose between the two and I thought it was standard on a phone, I find the lack of this on the Mozart quite annoying because I have always inputted text on phones this way and I find the QWERTY keyboard much slower and tedius to use. Does anybody know if this will be addressed in an update at any point, or if not would I be able to install software on my device to enable me to do so?
Thanks.
I've had a few different Android phones (mainly HTC and Samsung) but the SE Xperia Mini is my first SE Android phone so I may have missed something obvious in the settings. There's a few things I've not been able to figure out.
1. Turning on the phone requires a swipe to unlock. This is fine but I've enabled the pattern lock protection and now I have to swipe to unlock and then put in the pattern unlock. Seems bizarre. On the Samsung Galaxy S2, the swipe to unlock feature is not required when a pattern lock is setup. Is there something similar on the Xperia Mini?
2. The SE's default unlock screen shows missed calls and unread SMS messages. Missed calls count seem to work fine but the unread SMS message count is annoying. I have installed Handcent as my main SMS app but reading the message in there does not clear the message. I have to then open the native SMS application too. How can I avoid this need?
3. I've currently got mobile data network disabled. Everytime I switch on the phone, I get a notification saying "Data traffic is disabled". I suppose this isn't too much of a biggie as it's only on each reboot (hopefully don't need to reboot much). But is there a way to turn this message off?
TIA
Why you don't install GO Launcher Ex ? I think it will solve your two first issues. Maybe the third one too.

Hi. I have a Xperia S LT26i with ICS 4.0.4. Everything works ok, but the STK is really annoying. Every time I reject a call or I get a lost call, the STK shows a menu set by my carrier. I assume it's the STK, as the phone was bought unlocked and unbranded, and, also, my phone is configured in english, but the lost-call menu is in spanish(as my carrier). Also, I previously had the same problem with the same SIM on my Xperia Pro MK16a.
Does anyone knows how to disable this? It's really annoying. Thanks in advance.
Hi,
i've been using this phone for the past month (CN Version, Currently on 21) or so and so far I encountered the following problems:
1. Cannot Change the Default Messaging app.
2. Cannot set google as the default assistant
3. Cannot get VOLTE and Vowifi to work for me (Briefly had Xiaomi and used the code to force it to work).
4. Auto brightness keeps screwing up.
5. Cannot disable the market app
if anyone can help, that would be great.
And alot of missed things:
Missing "Choose date format" option. We are locked on american format, month/day/year.
Missing pocket mode.
Missing DeepTool for Android 11 to unlock bootloader. Speaking with support via mail, the answer is:
"Thank you for writing to us, we would like to inform you that
Bootloader unlock support is not yet available for Android 11, please stay tuned over official community."
Edge lighting is limited to 2 warnings. Need that option to be unlimited, until you see the notification. Like led notification before.
Missing "Vibration pattern" on calls.
Missing option to change sim in dialer if you choose a prefered sim. Prefered, not mandatory. If you want to call somebody with the second sim after you set prefered sim, you need to change that to the second sim to call. Too complicated.
Missing contacts manager option. So, you don't have posibility to import/export contacts, to hide contacts without number, to sort contacts in different ways, to merge contacts with same number, to choose what contacts to display(from phone, from witch google account, from sim, etc).
Missing navigation bar customization. To choose whats is happening if you press home twice, or if you press long on back button etc.
Missing option to return call and same sim you get the call.
For me it's not acceptable to launch a phone without posibility to unlock the phone(bootloader, recovery, root) for power users. Now, for me, realme GT it's a beast in a cage.And tied with chains by realme staff.

Seems far too many issues to be able to love this device.
I don't believe Realme software developers intend to tie anything, it's not logical to hinderi purchasers on purpose.
Realme deveopers are simply inadequate and require more time as many bugs were most probably unknown prior to roll out of the device.
....and by the time this Realme can function perfectly, it'll be time for upgrade due to end of the 3 years security support.
Hey. Bought my phone yesterday on Amazon sold/sent by Amazon (Poco F3 died in water).
I don't know why but my phone was already with developer options unlocked. Is it normal?
Besides that, the phone gives a pretty good feeling except a few bugs of ui here and there (full screen gesture often bring me back stock launcher for example.. Same was for the poco) and that I don't see any custom roms/twrp compared to poco F3.
Also noticed that I can't add French dictionary on top of English (set my phone in English) and on whatsapp I have words with underline when I write in French hum.
edit: returned my phone and sticking with my S10e.
