Can't find a x10 mini pro forum? Anyway, my wife has one, and she's missing a LOT of apps from the Market that I find from my Desire. Are there restrictions on what apps show up, and can they be switched off?

It depends where you bought the phone from. different countries have different availabilities with apps.
also dont forget the x10 mini screen is really small - screen resolution limits the use of many apps. perhaps SE has taken initiative and removed all the apps that dont work with the minis from their market
When devs post apps to the market they can list certain requirements that the app needs to work. One of those requirements can be screen resolution. If the phone doesn't match the requirements then the app won't show up in the market. Simple as that. However there is nothing stopping you from installing the apps manually. Often times the app works perfectly fine anyway. I have the Mini and have tried it with several apps. Some will have a messed up UI look but it still works.

OMG... so the screen resolution is the culprit here...
I was thinking of getting it for my wife...
Does the FB work well for the mini Pro?? cos she do a lot of FB on her phone...
Yeh facebook works perfectly. Resolution is not crap, almost every app I have tried works perectly, many from apktor.

What about office applications? My main reason for getting this phone in particular is android+hard qwerty
Documents to go worked perfectly on my Tattoo (it has the same resolution)
Tattoo also had a market fix that allowed all apps to be shown. Only problem was: it needed root... But I guess you guys will have that soon
As nattiii said, Documents To Go works perfectly. I have tried a bunch of note taking apps and they work perfect.
I could not get SWYPE to work btw, an error message about resolution too low came up
I've been using the appbrain web downloader app, which allows direct app downloads from their website. It can browse without restriction, so I've been able to install a few apps that are hidden on the market, like Skyfire, MixZing, lots of clocks, More Icons, and a game called Newton.
The only thing that didn't work too well is Newton. It scales, but the process of scaling slows it down a bit too much. Skyfire works brilliantly!

@ayewhy I was wondering how you are getting on having been using the e72 just thats what i have just now and have pretty much convinced myself the x10 mp is a much better phone for features. Any thoughts or regrets? Cheers Kenny

I was using Ovi Maps as my main navigation because it is brilliant so that's one feature I miss in my old E72... the thing with the E72 is that it badly needed better software and as an owner of it since about Dec09 I realised it early on with lots of random crashes, calls dropping, needing to pop out battery at least once a week, etc. - main thing for me is having a qwerty keyboard having being a Bold9000 owner before, I felt E72 had the best keyboard on the market. The minipro keyboard is good though so I don't have any regrets. The E72 was very slim in the pocket and the minipro is very similar because its still small in size. The fun part of owning a minipro is that, even tho its android 1.6, the software works great and feels good to use. Everything you wanted in the E72, like strong email support (exchange for example) is all there. I liked the front facing cam on the E72, but honestly I never used it! The main device cameras are the same quality and both very impressive. I feel happy going to the minipro and think the E72 was mainly let down by buggy software and poor support from nokia. Hope this was useful!

I loved iGO but I heard that it doesnt not work on mini's resolution.
Anyone know any other great GPS that work?
Copilot works up to the point where you enter your destination. It seems copilot does not work with the SE T9 keyboard, so you cant in letters ie. address/postcode.
IGO doesn't work, low resolution is problem. I viewed only 1/4 of screen...
Try Sygic mobile maps...

get it from Playnow application on your phone and there's an option to download the whole map to your sd card
that way no data connection required
I did what you said, updated the version, didn´t install any maps on the sd card. And said that my license is expired. eheheheh
May better to install Navigon. Can I also install the maps on the sd card?
Thx
Try Sygic Mobile Maps 10
Wisepilot totally sucks, bad interface bad graphics, no voice.
Navigon looks good, just like iGO with lane informaton, voice as well.. Currently downloading and will test it..
Sygic doesn't look too great, but at least its got the basics....
Navigon looks good, for what I saw last of it like 2 or 3 year ago. Going to test with this too, the only thing is I only have the milestone right now. My brother is going to buy the X10 mini pro so I would be a good thing to do some research first.
Navigon
Installed yesterday Navigon. I've tried this morning on my way to work, looks pretty good. But I'm a rookie with GPS's.
Nice thing, is that indicates gas stations, farmacy's and toll's.

Guys,
Install "Anysoftkeyboard" from Android Market. Set it up so it's the default keyboard instead of the Sony T9 rubbish. It's very accurate for a qwerty keyboard but what's more cool about it, it works full with Co-pilot

As ganstakillerz said AnysoftKeyboard is good and also Better Keyboard is a good alternative, full qwerty and very accurate in portrait mode.
Try Smart Keyboard.....
Its great and the best keyboard i have found till date...
Even better than any soft keyboard
Guys I used GoogleMaps Navigation last night to go to London and back, it works really well I am VERY impressed. Very easy to change route and the MiniPro screen is BIG and CLEAR to use the app perfectly for navigation. VERY happy about this, because my old phone was a Nokia E72 and I loved it because of OVI MAPS. I think I won't even try other navigation software on my minipro UNLESS they have speed camera database included (which GoogleMaps does not unfortunately )
Sygic is better than Navigon.Navigon is nice on screen
I tried Wisepilot today and it worked brilliantly. In terms of quality, for me, so far it's a coin toss between GoogleMaps Navigation and Wisepilot.

I have used gReader pro and the free version on my vibrant. Both are really slow especially while updating. My phone usually hangs in the middle of updating this app for feeds. The developer says that vibrant users need to use lag fix to correct the problem. How do I go about solving this problem.
gReader
http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-noinnion-android-greader-reader-jmEip.aspx
Any inputs? Thanks
I am not sure how to fix your issue, but google has their own reader app in the market now. You could try that. Sorry I cant be more of a help.
Sent from my Samsung Vibrant running 2.2 with a gingerbread theme.
I have used the official google app for google reader as well. As a matter of fact I still have it installed...but like the gReader app better due to its interactive interface and small size font which enables me to see more feeds on the screen. Also the official app uses external browser to fully read a feed which I dislike.
if the official one is performing better, the app must be bogged down. complain in the market, or email the developer of the app. they do listen most of the time. you might get results in an update.
edit: and by complain, I mean report your problem in a respectful manner.
I went from gReader to the official Google Reader app and I love the official much more. NewsRob isn't my favorite either. I'd suggest trying the official one for a bit and seeing how you like it. I'm a huge RSS fan so this was my own personal solution.
for all of the lag fixes and oc and all that i've tried, the number one solution for speeding up performance of apps like this (that use a lot of memory operations to /data) is this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=727279
i use method 1 listed there and it works perfectly, i do it every time. do have to watch space, but it works well.
Since my phone is unrooted and my ignorance to these technicalities, I starts using the official Google reader app and im loving it in just a day.
Thanks.

I liked neither apps so I've been using FeedR from the market. It's fast and allows offline reading to a degree. Even though it's not free, it's inexpensive and totally worth it IMO. It reads straight from the Google Reader website. If you've already got your RSS feeds setup there, it can just import them after you login. I'd say try it for 24 hours and refund it if you don't like it. Before anyone asks, no I'm not the developer or of any affiliation.
Lag fix should fix that problem, try it.

words with friends help!!!!!!!
Can anyone tell me why i can't get "words with friends" on my x10 mini pro. It can play other games like angry birds and word feud . But it will not let me download the app . Also it say's "words with friends", only needs android( 1.6 )upwards i have (2.1) so dont know why this happening. Has anyone got any ideas??????????PLEASE HELP!!!
didn't work with my old (from ipod touch account).
made a new account and it loads, but, as mentioned above, can't see the tiles in my rack.
My girl has the G1 with stock 1.6 and I believe the makers of Words With Friends (Zynga) removed the app from 1.6 compatibility - it now requires 2.1 and above. She therefore can no longer download it from the Market.
I did find an APK via Google, but it has strange bugs (not the usual bugs with this app) such as she ends up in a game where it is me vs. me, but not her. Have tried all manner of uninstalls, reinstalls, and new WWF accounts. Must be because it is not designed for 1.6 any more.
Does anyone have access to the last well-behaved APK for Android 1.6? It used to work perfectly fine for her.
works fine on CM7, the log on screen is really really really slow, but after that works as well as any other android device, so a lot worse then the ipod version
I'm having a problem with the contact list... it imported the email address for every single person I've ever emailed from the gmail. I literally have thousands of people in the contact list now.

I've had my Sony Tablet S since the 12/12/2011 and so far have been pleased with it.
Recently though, I've been experiancing lag on the homescreen, despite a factory reset and using other launchers and it wasn't until I read someone's rather harsh comments about it's shape and feel on another forum today, it made me think about returning it.
Does anyone else experiance lag at all, I find that on the lockscreen, when you have to move the little circle across to the out circle, my device does this slightly laggi'ly and the homescreen at times can create lag despite not many widgets.
I've always bought Archos products, had many of them and wanted a change from their new G9 range after seeing a few issues, but with the terrible HD play back and lag of built in media codecs (Yes I know about the other players, but it would be nice if it was all on the default video player) that have I made a mistake in buying it?
The gaming performance on the Sony is simply fantastic, I cannot praise that enough and the Tegra support there, something the Archos cannot do.
Any example of lag, would be coming out of an app like Browser, The homescreen for a few seconds, maybe 5 top is very laggy and then goes.
Many thanks.
er, try another launcher?
ADW, Go Launcher, Launcher Pro....
I've had my tablet s for less than a week, and my experience was also a bit horrible (& my first android device), everything was laggy: lockscreen, homescreen, apps, etc... until yesterday when i checked the installed apps and it turns out the tablet came with 2 versions of the market app, ver. 1.x.x and ver 3.x.x (i have no idea why) but i uninstalled the ver 1.x.x and now its f%$# fast, i doesn't lag at any point (i suppose THAT was the problem & solution).
Im still using normal stock apps and launchers, but maybe you can check that and see if it works for you.
Mine is pretty snappy so I'd say you either have a bad unit or an app causing the problems.. Are you using a task killer? If so delete it immediately as they cause far more problems than good.. Android does a great job managing the OS and task killers often stop processes that are needed.
Maybe try another factory reset and add apps one at a time, use for a bit and if no lag issues arrise add the next app on your list.. Keep doing this until you find the bad or problematic app... If you have lag right after the factory reset with no apps added then you probably have a bad Tablet and I'd exchange for another as defective.

Weird, I have no problems at all, sometimes when it stas to be a bit laggy, I do a normal reboot, at all goes perfectly normal..

I've tried everything : flashing Honeycomb, CM9, AOKP and now official 4.0.4. Never had timeline on my SGT 10.1
The facebook app looks like crap in my SGT 10.1 , I cannot use it in landscape mode because the photos in the news feed are half showed and of course no timeline.
on my SGS 2 the app is working fine : timeline, landscape and portrait are switching just fine. So please please how can I fix this?

Badger Facebook to make the a tablet version of the app. They do on iOS. The current app just wont do it, youre better off going to http://m.facebook.com in a browser for the time being.

So everyone with Galaxy Tabs has this stupid version of facebook?
Yes. Some idiot at Facebook decided to give the finger to Android tablet owners and remove the previous optimization. It's formatted for phones only now which it why it looks like garbage. Use the website. It works just fine.
No full screen photos in website mode, and also a little bit slow than the Facebook app. Those Facebook stupid people shouldn't breathe

I have this problem too. Am on PA 0.5 and it was working without any problems then one day I realized that the layout had reverted to the old version.
After various tests such as changing App dpi, clearing cache, even dalvik (?) I'm at a loss.

If you use FB app in portrait mode it's a little better layout, but not much.
Friendcaster has an awesome UI and I like it, but it doesn't pick up all my friends' posts. Apparently if they have set their privacy settings to block 3rd party apps, Friendcaster can't recognize any of their posts.
I still go back to the browser version. I was using the regular FB page through the browser but it was SOOOOOO slow. The mobile page is much better. Maybe some day they will come out with a tablet app...
I just found FAST for Facebook. It's in Beta but impressive so far.

I've tried the 1.9.0 the 1.9.2 , today I've updated to the latest 1.9.8 Same old stupid interface.
Sadly I have minimal to zero knowledge about how to modify .apk`s but I think if we could somehow ``tell`` to the facebook app that is not running on a tablet but let's say on a galaxy nexus or s2, s3 (you name it) this should do the trick. So, how to mod facebook to ``think`` that is running on a phone not a tablet?
it is a TERRIBLE app
In my household there is a Galaxy Tab 10.1 and an ASUS Transformer Prime. The Facebook app looks just fine on the ASUS, as if it's been optimized, but I get the same result you do when using the Tab. It's REALLY frustrating, and will hopefully get resolved if enough of us pester the app maker. I've left an updated review for each iteration, and I see TONS of Tab owners complaining about the app in the reviews.
After a quick search I've found that if you change the build.prop to other tab ( or phone ) the facebook app might work. The problems are : I don't know how to that. Will this have an impact on the installed apps?.
Timelines seem to be working now. Fb must of changed the code on their end. Can only view in portrait mode really, its doesnt scale right in landscape. At least you can access peoples photos, about etc tabs now too.
