hi people,maybe you know it maybe not but as soon as i discovered it i wanted to share it with u!! a few days ago reading general threads of xda page ,not this specific for minis, i read there is an app called Box for massive storage on the cloud which has access too from the computer,like the well known dropbox... but this thread i read said that instead of having only 2 or 5 gb of storage as its common with this apps if u are owner of xperia phone Box gives u 50gb!!!
as soon. as i read those wonderful news i looked for this app in market but i couldnt find it,so i looked for it with the computer and it said our x10 mini is not compatible, so i managed to look an apk of this wonderful app anf check if its compatible or not (here i must say i dont know if i can say where i downloaded the app because despite i think the original one is free app i dont want to mention any page or spam which can. goes against the rules of this cool page xda ).
the fact is that i coul install the apk in my mini!! when u have it installed u just have to register introducing an email and password, after that it will recognise ur phone as se xperia and automatically will upgrade ur storage from 5 to 50 gb!!! amazing!! isnt it?
once more we are fortunate of being owners of this wonderful phone!!
oh!! to access your account from computer u have to go to www.box.net and then login with same data of registration u did previously.
i remember the name of the app... BOX... look for it in market, i couldnt dwonloaded it from there, if u cant just look for it on the web, ull find it!!
i hope u can enjoy soon ur 50 gb account!!
if i was helpful say thx if u want!
A good place to get the app from is this thread here:

ohh!! good job!! man!! I didn't know exactly how is the policy about sharing apps or apks, and I didn't want to break any rule, just sharing my good experience with Box.
So people, you now have the app thanks to ticklefish and the instructions... those who don't have this big amount of storage yet go for it!

Hi guys!
my first thread!

I thought that it is like Iphone! but now i see we must install a third party software! how can i use this feature? even does it have any digital compass module
please show me a software! not from the ando market! a direct link plz if u can!

and why don't you just download something from the market?

Just wondered why you think someone else would do the leg work for you to find a compass APK, when they can be downloaded from the market? Here's a hint - use Google!
Regards,
Dave
As said, use market to get a compass app. Search for 'Analog Compass' for example (or just 'compass' for all).
That's the one I'm using and think is quite nice.

i like "marine compass", shows off the combination of g-sensors and compass
GPS Status also shows the compass.
gackaass, if you don't have the Android market in your country, have a look at slideme.org and andappstore.com. You can also search the Android market on cyrket.com or androlib.com and then try to find an apk from the results there.
tanx for u all
but i forgot to say i can not connect to internet by phone !(ad-hoc problem you know) my carrier is rubbish in internet service as well....
so no market access !
please upload any best u know ! i will pay for it :d
tank u elmicha! i am searching!
androlib.com

androlib and cyrket (once it works again) are "only" frontends to the market. You could try and use a Google search for the program names that you can find there.
Or use the Website link and see whether the authors have an apk on their site.
http://code.google.com/p/android-ac/ and http://code.google.com/p/eyes-free/ showed up on the first three pages of results for "compass".
Or use slideme (once it's working again) and andappstore. Andappstore has a direct link to a "GPS status" apk.
Yes, that's not very comfortable, and it's a pity that Android cannot use Ad-hoc mode without rooting and some additional work.
You could vote for http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=82 by logging in and clicking on the little star.
Maybe it's easier to convince your PC to act like an Access Point, e.g. with http://connectify.me/ or something like http://www.lelong.com.my/Auc/List/2...ain-USB-Adapter-Versatile-Station-AP-Mode.htm.
tank u for ur attention !
i am new in android! and i dont no more about rooting!
would u plz tell me more about rooting!
and what is the advantage of rooting ! what can i do after rooting! does it have risk?
tanx
Sorry, I don't know much about rooting, you have to google that on your own (or look around here in this forum, there are even stickies for it). There is a risk of bricking the phone and also you might lose the warranty. If you don't feel confident to do it on your own and understand the risks, don't do it.
One point I forgot in my previous reply: your (our) Hero was rather expensive, maybe it wouldn't hurt to buy an inexpensive WiFi router or access point. It's the easiest way to solve this problem. At the moment you only want a compass app, but there are a lot more apps that you might find useful in the future, and I wouldn't want to hunt them down one by one like you do at the moment.

wow, do your own work dumbass.
amazing NOT!!
Wow this is incredible!! You actually think people are going to do all your work for you??
I have my own freeware site with my partner. We never asked anyone to do stuff for us. Had you said pick 1 or 2 of your favorite apps and upload them no one would have harsh words for you.
Not only do I have my own freeware site , I actually made 70% of the games on there. Alot of hard work!! Nothing is for free!!
hey seriously though
i do have a free ftp server you guys can use.
it will only cost you 19.99 a month but like i said its free.
i'm smiling
Hi,

please name or describe which apps u are talking about.
if u want to install apps that aren't in the market just do this:
from homescreen press menu key
tap settings
tap applications
check the box that says "unknown sources"
it will pop up saying "this could be dangerous blah blah blah"
press okay.
feel free to install any app u would like.
I just highly advise against installing of any "cracked apps" that should be paid for but u r trying to get for free. some.of them could cause problems.
just let me/us know which apps u r talking about.
if ur looking for things from gameloft go for it. I don't recommend anything from "black market" or related things
please specify what u r looking at/for to get a better answer
EDIT:: I MEANT "GAMELOFT" SORRY

Hi, thanks for the reply. Yes I suppose apps, games for free is what I am asking. I dont mind paying for good apps, but it would be nice to be able to try things first. Do all of these apps have to be cracked? I see many around that seem to be the original files. What is ganwloft?

Fyi....most paid apps/games have a free or trial version u can try before buying.
and many of them also have video preview AND reviews on YOUTUBE and MANY other sites.
(I hope u r not asking for "blackmarket apps ...just saying...cuz most of those "cracked apps" have been known to cause problems ...and pretty bad ones...)
If u don't have a credit card to use on ur account to pay the few bucks for the game(which u can usually contact the developers if it isn't what u thought but u.passed the "15min refund mark and get a refund thru developer straight up) there are Android market cards available at places like target. Pay 12-13 bucks and get 15-20$ worth to use on Android market...or just grab a prepaid greendot card or something similar. These apps really don't cost much
Www.gameloft.com
Go to that link on ur phone browser to see some pretty cool games.
Gameloft also has some games available on market. They are some of the more "expensive" ones(2-5$) but are almost ALL worth that money to have FOREVER linked to the google account u bought with
I LOVE their games...
PM me if u need/want more info on ANYTHING I am talking about.....
Hi..
I have recorded a video which i tried to send through Whatsapp but i couldn't because the size is big. Is there any APP that would re-size it or like send it into more than one file (partition it)?

Hi. It is really sad, you know, that such phone like I9300 is so popular. Why? Because it is given as the Christmas gift, Frist Confession, Hanukkah and plenty other occasions to the peoples who:
1. Are too lazy to find easiest solutions by themselves
2. Are too pathetic to recognize even that this is NOT I9300 specific question, but generic Android one
This is XDA forum, you know... in theory, developers, troubleshooting of the mess created by unusual actions like overclocking, customizations etc.
But, OK, if your mom in at work, your nanny is busy with her boyfriend, let me help you.

I am truly sad that you had to trouble your hand in writing all of what you wrote.
I have already used Google and found several app's but it wasn't what i wanted exactly that's why i asked. I am not very sure why ur sad to help someone who of course ha looked and searched before asking!
The form and this section is for people to ask, so why you are sad again?

Video Editor on the Play store is my only suggestion .Or take the video to PC and cut it .
As you say Google search found nothing suitable i wont mention any of the apps found .
jje
Well, I'm guessing that you bought this phone new, and as a result you have 50gb of free Dropbox storage.
Why don't you upload whatever video you want on your Dropbox account and then send the public link to who ever it is that you wanted to send it to?
All of this can be done directly though the phone, so it shouldn't be so much of a hassle.
In the even that you got this phone off the second hand market, you have (AFAIK) 5gb of free storage on Google Drive, which is also hooked automatically to your Gmail account, so you could also use that.
Just trying to be helpful, good luck on your Android adventure.

this looks like a whatapp-due problem, which is not solved (and probably womt bcuz android 2.X.X is outdated ) (my friend had problems too with whatsapp and facebook-msgr, when he tried out old-fashioned cm7.2 on his galaxy.. ) we switched back to ics and it was gone , he use mobile networks...
maybve u try friends sim, to look if whatsapp works better on mobile networks?
if not come to 4.X.X
BTW! MAN THIS IS WRONG THREAD!!! IT'S Q&A!!! help keep xda clean and say it also others who post questions/reqeust/etc. to themes and apps!!!

ok. and yes i understand u gb is simple and good in games :good: no comparement to 4+, and everybody should use the rom that fits him as well
hmm, the problem is look: like u say u try diffrent kinds of GB rom's , we can say its not software-due, also u installed whatsapp more times(not restored from titanium etc) and may in app data ? so we can say its not a apk-problem, last what can be were provider problems but u using wifi so i cant be.......
... i have really no idea...
did have gb synchronization? and did u wipe also /data on fresh install? did us e use any apps like taskillers , greenify etc???
.. dont kow more at this tme:crying:
and for the Q&A: if think ur wrong bcuz
1. read the rules (also in Q&A) if u tick ''this is an answer'' /requests for somewhat --> it belongs to Q&A
2. i think u missunderstand the forum title as this is an development forum 'apps' is meant as: ready developed/modified/or in devolping APPS!
in this section u post only 'new' stuff u maked/modded - QUESTIONS are forbidden ; ONLY THREAD-related --> so if ur on an thread about an mod there u can post questions!/requests.
.. some people also post requests here bcuz they havent read the rules or simply dunno '
i sometimes restore titanium backups and sometimes not...in both cases whatsapp gives the same problem...and yes sync is turned on in whatsapp..and no i dont use task killers bcoz i knw they r not good for android...
the good thing is....today my whatsapp is working better than other days...its quite fast (im on cm7 still)...i jst hope it works the same all the time...nd plz tell me if u find any solution to it...
nd ok ill see to it that next time i post threads in the right sections..

and @bejunk..thanks...sure do me a pm
lolzzz....check this...
ME to the developers: I have a Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman (WT19i) with android 2.3. My
whatsapp works very slow, it seems like my whatsapp gets internet
connectivity after every 2 minutes, because all my messages are sent after
every 2 minutes, and I even receive messages after every 2 minutes. In
between these 2 minutes I can't check anyone's last seen or their display
picture and can't even update my status.
And if I use android 4.0, my whatsapp works very well, there is no such
problem. But due to some reasons I want gingerbread on my phone, so please
fix this problem.

they replied within minutes...i guess no one evn read my problem...
Hmmm...have you ever wonder if this problem is more related to custom kernel rather than whatsapp or the ROMs itself????
Some user forget that the Custom Kernel is also related in internet connectivity...some Custom Kernel (i won't mention which one) have a problem in synchronizing with FB, Games and other social app such as Whatsapp...i know this cause i have been using a couple of Custom Kernel on the same router just to see the different and i can confirm some of them do have synchronizing problem....

maybe u r right...bcoz i used the same kernel in all roms (miui,joyos and other cm7 based) as all those rom developers recommended that kernel...but right now i am on fxp kernel, and it has the same problem...and what about stock kernel?? as far as i remember, it has the same problem (i didnt use stock for a long time)...so can it b a kernel problem?
as iPusak Gaoq™ said it can be a kernel problem, i tried stock kernel and stock rom again...and yes there is some improvement, but yet sometimes there are connectivity drops...stock rom+stock kernel has better whtsp than cm7 based roms and kernels..but not yet as perfect as 4.0...but anyways its manageable...thanks everyone for help
EDIT: i noticed something..in stock rom...i cant check anyones last seen or cant send message...but, as soon as i go in my contact list and click 'refresh' evrything wrks fine...
