Hey people,
I`ve noticed that some apps seem to load upside down on the tablet(seem to be mostly apps that are designed for phone android)
Is anyone else experiencing this? Is there a way to resolve this?
Cheers
I have seen this happen with a few select apps, Sports Illustrated and Time Magazine in particular. Even the XDA app starts sideways, then rotates back to the right spot.
Can,t say i,ve encountered that problem yet. All apps install for me without any problem
IT happens with the Antipaper Notes HD app as well as 50 languages and the games nano panda and Blast monkeys.
I dont mind if apps only work in portrait but I`d prefer the other way around :s
Happened to me too and the problem was i could not get out of them so had to reset the device with a pin on the side. Don't remember what they were as i uninstalled them immediately

I havent had that happen, but i do run into a problem, when i try to download an app sometimes, it wil say its downloading, but thats all it does, i have to back out, click download again then it wil finally install. Sometimes i will click download and it closes the market out completely and randomly opens an app from my library.
Happens to me as well. Mostly phone apps.

CAN ANYONE CONFIRM IF THESE APPS ARE WORKING ON OTHER TABS??!!!??
on other tablets, it doesn't matter since they are symmetrical. For right-handed people, it's natural to hold it with the left hand and on the Sony tablet it feels awkward to hold it in portrait mode by the thin side. A number of apps (like the Tapatalk app) load upside down but then flip correctly and some (the official Flickr) run only upside down (at least for righties)

Agreed, basically my concern was if it is problem with Sony only or all tabs, it seems its generic issue..

So far my apps are loading rightside up. Including tapatalk. This is only my second day with the tablet though. I have experienced having to try a second time when installing apps though.

I have the same problem.
Does anyone know of a fix?
An example of a few of the free apps not working:
* Air Asia
* Booking.com
* PADI
put it in your other hand.
You can use the app orientation control as a workaround
I assume you're holding it thick side in your left hand? Default landscape for apps is so the top of the phone/device is on the left side so portrait would be thick side on the right. Nothing strange, just Androids default.

Just to double check.. in this app, there's no way to memorize the format of the apps we want to change.. or is there?

I got my to download just fine. Of course, I've changed my build prop.
Follow this:

i bought it a little bit ago for my tp and it went fine. i've not had any problems with the .10c apps downloading, tbh.
I have the default alpha3 build.prop and it installs fine.
All you have to do is purchase it from another android device and then go to the TP's market app and go to "my apps", then go download at the end of the list and find "Not Installed" purchased apps. HD Widgets should be there.

i don't have another android device... and i also don't see HD Widgets at amazon or i'd just get it there and do it that way...
HD Widgets show up fine on my 16 using cm7 a3. Doesn't show on my 32 running xron. I'm assuming build.prop difference.

Anyone know how to get the tablet Widgets to show up. This pics show some nice big Widgets which are absent from my unit. Thinking it is because they think i am on a phone and not a tanlet

I dont remember seeing tablet widgets in their android market screenshots but if they exist and are tablet-only widgets you will have to wait for ICS. Currently our Touchpad run a phone version of android and so cant run anything that uses tablet APIs (Honeycomb and ICS can run these).

Clicked on the "WHAT'S NEW" tab and the only thing said is "Bug fixed." However, after performing a few tests, I believe it is a fix for the "disappearing icons" problem related to user apps that are moved to sdcard memory (i.e., Move to USB storage).
I think that this also solve the automatically touch at the screen

Yeap, nothing on the xperia tablet.
Yay, Sony finally does something for the Sony Tablet S.
From the looks of it, everyone got this from the same day when I checked the comments once I got the update notification.
Problem though, the update takes up a little space from the storage, it would be fun and storage friendly if it was via OTA Update.

I think if someone creates a thread, they should specify for wich tab or tabs is the main topic at the title of the thread to avoid any confusions
And now I can update this app without fear

Mine still have. Did you do anything after updating the home launcher? Factory reset or anything?
My tablet seems smoother, almost lag free.

Sony should of not did it has a Play Store update since that uses the update data in the data partition causing a slow down, they should of done a OTA update for the launcher so their will be no issues.

Sony's other system apps (Walkman, Album, etc.) are updated via Google's Play Store, so there is nothing wrong with Sony updating the Home app via Google's Play Store too; the Home app is just another system app. Saying Sony should have updated the Home app via an OTA update instead of Google's Play Store is a ridiculous statement and ridiculous thinking.

Before update, when you power off or your battery finish, my icons are gone on desktop. now they fix it.
and very smooth before than. my tablet latest firmware and no root.
Confirmed that this update fixes dissapearing icons from homescreen of programs moved to usb storage. After turning off and on tablet icons stays.Posted in my language sony community.
Hello people. Im new on this forum but Im sure you can help me with my question.
I have a XT910 since October 2013 and my Twitter app (official client) had always run smooth. Since, like, March of 2014 (5, 6 updates maybe?), the keyboard runs EXTREMELY slow when typing, and i've noticed this only happens on the official Twitter app. I had tried three keyboards, the stock one, Swype and Emoji 7 i think. With the three keyboards i had the same problem.
What I did was uninstalling Twitter, and downloading Tweedle, the best client i had found ATM. The thing is that this app has less options than Twitter and I really need to use it nice.
So I'll wait until Twitter fixes this problem (on the Twitter critics on Google Play, a lot of people had commented the same problem).
Meanwhile I hope there is a fix for this.
Had already factory reset twice, installed CM11, now im currently in stock JB again, but no fixes. I hope you can help me.
Sorry for my bad english
Thanks!
I'm facing the exact same issue, it appeared after the introduction of the new twitter app (with the revamped interface). I have an Xperia L with Android 4.2 stock, and before the update everything worked smoothly... It's the only app that lags this phone tbh. I hope they fix this soon...

I think i have a temporal solution. What i did was download the Twitter 5.0.5 apk, this one is the first version with all the new last features and design, and it runs nice.
Now go to Google Play and disable automatic updates.
Download Titanium Backup and with this app you can unconnect the Twitter app with Google Play, so it wont ask you for an update (you need pro version of titanium backup).
Twitter 5.0.5 seems to run good on my Droid Razr, i hope this "fix" can help other people with different devices having the same problem. Keep the apk because if the app gets updated (by mistake)you can do the process again.
Thanks! I hope it works.

Great! Thank you for the work around. Do you know if I will need root to use that specific feature from Titanium Backup?
is "temporal" solution the same as temporary?
If you aren't using PC mode on your pad 5 pro then you aren't using your tablet to its full potential.
Turn off your MIUI optimization and sideload the apk and give it a test.
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/xiaomi-inc/pc-launcher/pc-launcher-12-1-204-6-release/
Only this version above works on this tablet.
I would be lost without it. its like having multiple phones screens open at one time. Everything runs and you can even select what app the sound comes from.
More windows running doesn't seem to slow it down but the battery does drain faster obviously.
It's truly a PC experience.
Thanks for introducing this great tool! Using it right now to type this reply! Also the newest version of PC mode on APKMirror works as well - not sure if there is any siginificant improvements though: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/xiaomi-inc/pc-launcher/pc-launcher-12-1-208-5-release/
Question - Is there anyway we can drag the icons from start menu to desktop? Would be quite helpful if I can drag my favourite programs to the desktop rather than a bunch of Xiaomi stuff. It seems anything I installed after installing the PC mode shows up on the desktop immediately but not anything before.

Hi. Glad you enjoy the pad 5 pro as it should be from Xiaomi.
You can hold the icon in the start menu and it will give the option to pin taskbar and homescreen but you can't drag it.
Hope that helps.
I seem to have trouble with second space, when running the app in second space, an error message appears:
"Split screen isn't supported in PC Mode"

Some apps support split screen in MIUI mode. That doesn't carry over into PC mode.
Just switch back to normal MIUi tablet mode and split screen will work with that app.
Hi, I'm actually talking about the PC Mode app, everything else is closed and when I try to run it in my second space, that's the error I get and it closes automatically.
In my first space I can run it however and it opens correctly
Guys am facing this problem on miui 13 with Android 12, anyone have any idea to fix it??
Desktop mode (PC MODE) do NOT work with Android 12 Miui 13 update. May be discontinued or have to be updated. I use Mix Fold and I get the same issue.

Yes it's a big issue. I barely use my pad 5 pro since last weeks update. I used it everyday.

If you look at the comments on APKMirror everybody have this issue and ask for fix... in same time I saw on chinese Xiaomi mix Fold forum that a Xiaomi tech guy said this apps is discontinued ... I don't know if this is true or not I just can say that its very strange to put a big Android Update with an issue to this major apps. Wait and See (and Pray for us if you're religious lol)

Works ok but I can't minimize windows /apps and run many on the desktop like I could with PC mode.
It's Fullscreen I could fit 3 apps on the screen at one time.

It's no better than an Apple ipad now.

Hey mate, just wondering if you got this working or found another app. Was considering buying the pad 5 pro just for PC mode. Or maybe the solution is to keep the old miui 12
