Now to my question ,
I have a HTC Wildfire , its my first android phone . But today I bought a new Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo . I bought it through a SE outlet in southern part of India . In EBay india they bring up a deal every day at 11 A.M . Today's deal was a SE Neo V for like 16000 INR, He called me and said they had the offer put in E-Bay and I was like WTF coz I bought this fone for 17500 INR ,
Wen I went through the description of the fone it had only 5 MP Camera but mine is 8 MP . Then I got a sign of relief . But again there was some feature like 3d Sweep panorama , but that is missing in my phone . I tried to find out wer it is like for the past 6 hours , but still no Luck ,
So out of hope I make this post here , Can anyone help me find it or my fone doesnt have it at all is it
Thanks ,
Saran
P.S. I don't know wer to post , If the mods or any admin panel gonna remove the post , please notify me through mail before doing it and please advice me wer to address my query .
The 3D sweep panorama for the Xperia Neo, will be available in the current update, it might be that it's not available yet in India. Just wait a few weeks, and you will be able to update and get the 3D sweep panorama function.
Check out settings > about phone
You'll probably have android version 2.3.3, the update makes it 2.3.4.
If you don't won't to wait, you can update via XDA.

To update via XDA, not the official Sony Ericsson update, but still stock ROM, follow this guide, till step 4.
Hi,
Thanks for the reply , My Phone says 2.3.3 , What you are trying to say is wen it is updated to 2.3.4 only I can use the feature is it ??
You can try to install it on 2.3.3, but I doubt whether it works.
I'll upload it within 10 minutes or so, stay tuned.

got it from here
Hi, I Installed it , but now the camera itself doesn't open, When I select Camera it becomes a black screen , then I have to click home button and come back, Any Idea :-o
You will have to wait,
I rooted my neo and even installed that apk(2.3.4) into rom itself, but my previous apk got deleted and i'm forced to use LG camera as alternate..
Please someone help by giving me a camera apk for 2.3.3 FW 4.0.A.368
Sent from my MT15i using XDA App
i try it on my current 2.3.3 but didn't work. not sure why. currently im using Doom kernel and i rooted my phone with Wotan Server.
anyone can help?
It wont work on 2.3.3 coz of changes in framework...
Open the development section and checkout instructions to install 2.3.4....
Also
Dont hesitate to unlock the bootloader coz warranty from se is just an "LOL"(very bad customer service)
Sent from my MT15i using XDA App
So if i flash it with Cyanogenmod 7.1, will the sweep panaroma feature still be available?
you should try Wotan server
first register in the website then download the program and after identifying the phone select advanced ... our device is called mt15i and choose 2.3.4
this method doesn't need root or opening boot loader.
i have successfully updated my phone to 2.3.4 then downgraded to 2.3.3
but never ever downgrade to 2.3.2 or you will loose your phone.
if you face any problem please contact me.
Hi. I'm from the Philippines, and I am a Xperia Neo V user.
As for your concern, Xperia Neo and Neo V are both 2011 smartphones introduced by Sony Ericsson, Xperia Neo V or MT11i is the successor of Xperia Neo. Now, the difference between these two smartphones is that first, Xperia Neo has an 8 Megapixel Camera compare to Xperia Neo V with just a 5 Megapixel Camera, the reason for this is that the company has an issue with the megapixel market (which I read mostly on some blogs). Second, as for their android OS version, I believe that these two has the same 2.3.4 (Gingerbread) version, I dont know with your country why your phone has only 2.3.3, but you can update it though. Third, Xperia Neo V is powered by Mobile Bravia Reality Display bringing its pictures and videos to a more level when it comes to quality. Neo V is also the first smartphone to have a facebook inside Xperia upgrade benefit. Fourth, Xperia Neo V is the only one to have a feature of 3d Sweep Panorama, in which the Xperia Neo has not.
To top all this, both of them are amazing phones to have.
I also read it on some news that Sony Ericsson will release an update so that the 2011 smartphones will have the 3d Sweep Panorama feature. So just update yourself to this updates. And by the way, android will release its OS version 4 (Ice Cream Sandwich) Update this March-April. Its an update that most android phone users are looking forward to..
Thank You.. ^_^

No offense, but this thread is three months old, by which time the threadstarter would most probably have received the said update. Anyway, to some corrections: the Neo is not without the Bravia Engine, as you may have meant. Also, the Facebook inside Xperia has been available to the 2011 Xperia phones since around July last year, around three months before the Neo V was launched. And yeah, all it takes is a simple update via PC Companion to get the 3D Sweep Panorama to the Neo (2.3.4 update). Again, no offense meant in my post, I just want to help clear out the facts.
Have a nice evening, buddy.
well i m just dying to get my hands on my Neo.. waiting for the shipment .....................
i just want to ask one thing..!! why people dont use PCC or SEUS for the updates.. !! and rely on Wotan or Flashtool !!
Xperia neo 2.3.3
its work for me thanks!:good:
Hi guys, After checking around, I decided to buy the Mini Pro for it's frontal camera, extra internal memory and keyboard.
But still have a question though, i don't care about typing messages with the keyboard, but I look forward to use it as a gamepad.
I just watched a youtube video where a user is playing GTA III using the keyboard as a game pad. ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ly1VVZfarLw )
So here is my question: Is it true for all games, some games, or rarely the case?
tnx.

Hi dudes, I have the X10 mini, and think of Buying the "Xperia MINI" for the 720p video camera, and the 1Ghz processor, as for the screen.
But I am wondering if it's worth it?
Or maybe should I wait for the "Xperia Mini 2"? Thinking maybe it will have 1080p camera and dual core processor?
I read about it here:
http://www.affineontech.com/sony-xperia-mini-2-the-successor-of-xperia-mini.htm
Tnx for answers and enlightments about the subject.
Hello,
The Xperia Mini (Pro) is the successor of the Mini X10. So, this IS the Mini 2, it's just not named like it (they removed the X10 from the name).
This article has to be older, because the new one does have a 3" Display, where the X10 just had 2,6".
The 1ghz processor is really fast, it's enough for myself.
Also, the Xperia Mini is just a few months old, so there won't be another new model that soon.
Get the Xperia Mini (Pro), it's worth it.
Edit: They're also talking about the Adreno 205 GPU, which the new Mini has.
Btw.: They're talking about the single core 1ghz processor we have right now, no dual core.

Thanks for clarifying this.
Just one final question, is the difference between the x10 mini camera resolution and the Xperia Mini Camera resolution noticable?
I mean, on the asus transformer, the 720p camera does not give the feel of HD, but more of a normal 480p camera when shooting.
tnx

dude, check out my thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1418496
this would probably makes you want to buy xmp even more!
I would say Xperia Active or the Live with Walkman. I enjoy dropping my Xperia Active in the water It would be hard for me to get a "normal" smarphone again... Maybe they make Sony Active this year?
Ok guys it's done, thanks for your help.
I am checking the game list right now, and bookmarking it immediately!
Hi, my contract is about to end soon, and I'm looking forward for a new Xperia phone (preferably), I'm being offered for free the Xperia Neo V and Xperia Mini Pro. Should I pick it up? Or wait for another phone (mid range)?
Xperia Neo V seems more appealing than Xperia Mini Pro, though, it screen is slightly smaller and the camera is 5mpx I think, not to mention it lacks Exmor-R camera len, it's not like the X10 has it, but it would be a nice feature. But it has the quick start-up and the quick-capture functionality at least.
So what do you guys say? I was waiting for the Xperia Pro, but it won't be on sale in my country.
maybe wait a lil bit longer, the 2012 series is almost upon us, hopefully the 2011 line may receive a price drop. I would gladly trade my x10 for any 2011 xperias if I could get one cheap.
Xperia Neo V has a better multitouch screen and more RAM but there isn't much difference, so I would suggest you to wait
Send from X10
Use this tool forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1415600
If you can afford 2012 phones, than wait, otherwise go for Neo V, i already got it in replacement of X10 & I am happy with it
I searched the web to find some info about the next gen "Xperia Mini".
But there's no info whatsoever.
Does anyone have any idea about what is to expect next?
Sony says their next xperia mini will b XPERIA U featuring 3.5 inch mobile bravia engine display,1Ghz dual core snapdragon processor,5MP autofocous camera with a new iconic look of xperia S.frankly speaking i dnt like the new xperia mini.i would be not more than 3.2 inch display with 4 corners home.

The problem with is this is that Sony NEVER claimed the U to be a successor to Xperia mini.
Probably it will have the new Sony-style design, but not as big as the U, if there will be a 2nd gen Xperia mini.
I hope it could b likr that coz i dnt liked this news thht xperia U will be new xperia mini in a youtube video.i love sonyericsson,s idea of small android phones having power like big guns.i used xperia x10 mini,x8 and now i m using xperia mini ST15i.i love these masterpieces by sonyericsson.Hope SONY will make us happy by making a 3.2 inch 1.5 dual core processor mini with 4 home corners....

Unfortunately, while surfing for the next mini, I stumbled uppon the same information saying that sony will treat the "U" as the new member of the mini family.
IMO, it's a huge let down. Xperia mini pro is at the limit of being "mini". So trying to sell the U as "pocket friendly" just because it's half inch smaller than the S, is the same as shouting "morons!" in customers face.
What is your opinion,which one is better and why?
I can buy one or another for the same price
I know Arc S has a Single Core 1.4Ghz but it's more stable(Many Xperia U have problems with touch etc...) and has bigger screen
So what do you think?
P.S This question is also posted on Arc S forum
