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!

Ah you legend, that's the browser I was looking for! Used to use that on my E72 its great.
@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!

Hi everyone,
The Labyrinth game is not right at all - the ball moves upwards when the phone is tilted. Very annoying - makes the game very difficult, if at all playable! Or do we have an anti-gravity device?
Any verifications? Any solutions?
Thanks in advance
I am on O2 and have upgraded to the official Android 2.1
EDIT: This only occurs with the paid-for version of the game, not the lite version.
have you tried the calibrator app ?
what happens with that one?
you may need to *#*#307#*#* in phone to enable the emlist to be able to see the calibrator
Thanks Fards for your reply.
I have enabled emlist on the phone and through calibrator saw that the phone was fine - I think there is an issue with the applications involved somehow...
As google street view works very well on compass mode - with right way up etc.
Also tried Asphalt 5 free and that is working (left and right tilt).
Another app - Bubble, also works fine...
Like I said most likely it is somehow with the coding of the games mentioned in the original post...
Thanks and good night
I installed labyrinth light on my streak and there is no problem with the accelerometer, everything work fine.
My streak is the US version with MCR2 installed (android 2.1).

Hi Dalamario and thanks for your input.
Glad to hear yours is working fine
I hope it's not a stupid question but what is MCR2?
Searching for it gave me links for ROM update - didn't know we were able to update ROMs for our devices yet though...
I will try some other games and get back soon.
I still am glad I chose Streak over Iphone 4 though

MCR is Modaco Custom Rom, it's the O2 2.1 rom customized. It's a work in progress so it's still not available to everyone http://android.modaco.com/content/d...r-the-dell-streak-android-2-1-online-kitchen/
When I flashed my device I had trouble with the compass that was not reacting to my movement giving me a static "google sky", but the accelorometer was working fine. Then I recalibrated the compass (making a 8 shape when it's active) and it come back to work normally.
Perhaps your problem is not with the accelerometer but with the compass. Try an app that require the compass, like "gps status" and if it doesn't work, make an 8 shape with the hand (like the infinite symbol) see this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sP3d00Hr14o
Thanks again Dalamario for your help.
I followed what you said and realised that the lite version of the game is fine, but the paid-for one has the "bug" somehow.
Thanks again and best wishes
Since my official O2 2.1 update, there are some apps that no longer work correctly - the accelerometer seems reversed. Chalky, Grand Prix Live, Hour Face and I'm sure a couple more that I can't think of right now.

I have the same problem with Exzeus. It seems like games in landscape are fine like sky siege, skies of glory, hawx. But games in portrait have the left / right swapped. I tried the calibration through EMLIST and it did not help.
HyperJump is the same on my o2 Streak Left is Right and Right is Left =S
Also, game called Drop has the same problem

I have searched the forums and can't find someone with the same problems i am experiencing i hope someone can help me with a solution.
Problem:
If i play it for too long the game starts lagging horribly, i found this to happen a lot when playing trough some of the cut scenes.
And i think this one is only on our phone so....
When i press the menu key, which should take me to the home screen, it should save the game at it's current state, but it just closes it and i have to start from my last saved game or checkpoint.
Also i played the game on Froyobread V21 and now on V22 and had to start over because for some reason my apps weren't backed up and i had to download it again.
If you have any of the problems or know solutions write below.

I tried a lot of fixes but nothing works i tried:
Full wipe
Uninstalling the app
Moving it to SD Card (no change in loading speed)
Changing ROMs (Froyobread only!)
But still no solution.
P.S. And i see that Inotia 3 is one of the most downloaded free apps in the market so can someone with Froyobread confirm that it's working without any problem on the rom.
Me too. Even i used OC, mddi, and make it to lower quality using chainfire3d. but it still very laggy for playing it long.
Maybe it is inotia3's bug, or our phone isn't strong enough.
But i still waiting the next version of this game, hope this can be better.
I used Elelinux v.3 and FroyoBread 23b.
Better phone needed for it
Just get used to the fact that X8 is far not the powerful phone. For this type of games you just need a better phone.
As long as I keep having X8 I'm using it only for working/apps purposes. I'll play games when I buy a new phone, since on X8 they load so long, that there is no pleasure from playing them ...

No, no, no, no, That's not true our phone has run games with way better graphics

Mee to, Using floyo 1.0
It's very bad, coz it's a good game :s
Its sad to know that many people has the same problem with this game app, when i get laggy ive tried to activated flight mode on my phone, and its work well with the problem, but u cant used the nline shop, because the flight mode will turn off your internet connection. At least i can played in offline mode without laggy prob, and i can play this game in undervolt condition for longlife battery used.
Ps , iam using samsung galaxy tab 7'

That is usefull information. That means it's not the device that causes the problem, it's the app itself. Thank you for the reply.
my brother sent me a addfree version and the problem was over, at least for me...
1.1.5
Yep addfree version fixes the problem.. at least on gingerdx v004
I have tested Flight mode activated, only one crash, and no lag. Don t have a adfree version...

Well.....
Im sorry to say this but i have given up on Inotia 3 because of the bugs and lag.
Good news is i have found a replacement game with the same controls, so no multi-touch needed and the graphics are better also it doesn't have any lag at all.
The game i am talking about is Destinia it's just a great replacement for Inotia and i know that all of you who like Inotia will like it.
Helo people, I am also user who had same problem with Inotia3, lots of lags and reboots.
I am using gingerdx 018, where to find addfree version ?
For me beter replacment is zenonia 3.
I must say thats great game
stock rom - not rooted , cuz i brick it and need to do everything again..

Make a backup before trying this!
You have to dowload supercharger.sh.txt, after, rename it to superchager.sh and place it to the root of your sdcard.
disable "lock home in memory" in your cyanogenmod settings.
Now open terminal emulator in your x8 and write this:
su
sh sdcard/supercharger.sh
in please select scrolling speed, enter 0
in please enter option, enter 1
is home is locked in memory, enter no
and now, you have some settings (2 to 6) just enter a number, I use the aggressive 2 settings (option 3), but some people like the balanced settings 1.
after choosing your option reboot (option 16) and enjoy...
For me it's work great, and sorry for my bad english
Ok, so I've have my photon for a few months now, and it seems like the touch screen acts up? I will touch one area, and it seems to activate a different area. Is this a normal thing, or is there something going on? Typing gets interesting, as you can likely imagine, due to wrong keys getting hit. Could it just be a sensitivity issue, if so, how can I correct it? Is there a way to calibrate the screen?
sent from my MoPho
Mine acts a little funny sometimes too - almost every time I am typing I either close the keyboard or exit an app entirely - my best guess is that it thinks I am either hitting the home button, or back. Drives me insane. Only thing I don't like about the phone.
I have looked at all the menus and cannot find a way to calibrate the screen. I've looked in the Market, cannot find an app that works on the Photon to do so either. I think mine can also use re-calibration.
Otherwise this phone rocks!
Is it just when you are typing or is it a general problem like if you try to select a specific app from the app drawer, will you end up selecting the wrong app? My Photon had this issue (just the problem with typing on the keyboard accurately, and this is not my first touchscreen only or android phone, so it's not my typing skills) when I first got it, but the problem went away after I installed Go Launcher and the Go keyboard. I haven't tried any alternate keyboards and I haven't tested the phone if I remove GO Launcher and the Go Keyboard. Everything else seems to be working and I love this phone!

Its random, typing, apps, doesn't matter.
sent from my MoPho
I have searches and searched, but t appears there is bilt way to calibrate this screen. I don't know if the issue is hardware related, or just app related. The more I use it, the more I think hardware, because I wont even touch the screen and I end up at the home screen. There is no pattern, or anything, it just randomly messes up it seems
sent from my MoPho
So I suppose no one has found a calibration tool for the Photon? I've seached everywhere I can think of and still no luck. I notice the problem also when playing games, especially Draw Something and Temple Run. Love my MoPho but this drives me nuts...
Hi guys!
I need your help in something that looks like a little problem, but for me it's very, very annoying.
I have an ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T, which I jumped from 4.2.1 to 4.4.4 (CROMBi-kk Custom ROM by @sbdags). With this change I lost the ability to make old apps that were designed for old mobile phones to use the entire screen in portrait mode. One of the apps that I'm talking about is "iMobsters".
Now those old apps use about 20-25% of the tablet screen in portrait mode, and it's stuck this way no matter what I try... It's very annoying, cuz you need to watch real closely to be able to read something, and it ruins the gameplay experience...
I hope you guys can give me a solution to my problem. Maybe an app is the sollution to my problem?
Anyone?
I still have this problem. Sollution?
Try the Xposed Framework + App Settings Module.
I tried, it's not working.
Basically, it's not working at all. No matter what I try, it doesn't do anything...
