I, for one, am very interested in this phone. Looking like one of the best for 2014 so far.
Does anyone know when it will be released?
specs look too impressive, 7.7mm thick 2700mah battery
but then again, I thought the same thing about the X7 with its 1080p display. I will probably buy the x8 when it is released

It should be released within this month.
Coolpad F1 8297w (WCDMA Version)
Same configuration of iOcean X8, only Display size and ROM Diffrance...But so cheaper from X8...!!!...also X8 does not support External SD Card
I am currently using the X8 as my daily driver for a review and I have to say I'm really enjoying the phone so far the only real downside is that it has no micro-SD card slot.
ThomasKIK i bought one for myself and i dont like the MIUI V5. I hope there will be ROMs soon.
I dont like light and colorful roms. Other than that phone is excellent.

There's a way to get the stock Android look, go to your app drawer (list of apps) and go to the themes app (looks like mixed paint) and choose system.

But then icons are waay to small and odd looking. Dont know how to make more rows and all that, and when i install a custom launcher
it usually returns to stock one when i exit apps...
I managed to do something with downloaded dark theme that darkens status bar and launcher that changes drawer and icons

But then again sometimes when i exit an app or hold home button it returns to stock theme.
it happens with all launchers.

On your home screen press the menu button and choose "Manage apps" in this menu swype all the way to the right to the "All" tab and search for an app called "Launcher" select this one and press "Clear defaults"
Hope this works.
Btw. that launcher looks awesome.

Hi all. Long time reader first time poster. Question to you folks out there. I've read up on the Xperia Mini (+Pro). I'm looking for a small form-factor Android phone with a snappy(dragon) speed processor, and want your advice.
1) Would you buy the phone today? If not, why? I know there's bigger and faster, but I don't see on the market anything faster that's as small. I know Sony doesn't talk, but do we think there's a refreshed model coming out soon in 2012 that I should wait for?
2) I'm replacing my Samsung Captivate- can I do these things that I liked to do: a) easy to root/sideload etc? I don't flash ROMs, but do some Rooty stuff.
3) I like swype. Does swype run on the Experia Pro?
4) Suggestions on Mini vs. Mini Pro? I like swype, but if this thing is as small as it looks, should I be looking to get the Pro/keyboard version?
5) GPS never worked on my Craptivate. Does it work well on this phone?
I've got more questions, but I'll start with that!

I have the mini and love it. I have had no issues with it at all. in reply to your questions:
1 - would buy again. the Processor is fast enough. I've never had lag. Also it will get the ice cream sandwich update so the software will stay current on the mini for a while.
2 - I rooted the phone using superoneclickroot which took 1 click. But the latest software update for the phone may mean that root might not be available ~yet~ (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1455216 ). If you're buying current stock then more than likely the software update to 62 hasn't been applied yet, so rooting is easy.
3 - I use swiftkey as a keyboard replacement, you can use any android app so swype should work too.
4 - How much do you really use the keyboard? I figured that one of the main reasons in getting the phone was for it to be small & lightweight, so the mini was the smallest & lightest, I used to have a Droid with a keyboard, but now don't miss the keyboard at all.
5 - GPS works fine. I think GPS issues were a Samsung thing?
I'm a mini pro user and must say I'm pretty happy with my phone. But to answer some of your questions I wouldn't buy this phone if I were buying it now, and it's only because I'd really like a bigger screen and perhaps a longer battery as well but these are in no way reasons not to go for this phone. In all my time using it I really had no issues whatsoever and can't find any remarks why not to choose this phone besides personal preference.
The rooting is quite easy excluding the latest firmware which just takes some alternative methods to do, but is not in any way extra hard.
Swype can be used but if you take the mini pro you will most probably get used to the hardware keyboard and will at most times avoid using the on screen one as the hardware keyboard is way more comfortable and easier to use.
Also the GPS works really well, and the phone itself also includes a special module that allows the use of the new tracking technology implemented by the Russians (can't remember the name). So you will have acces to about ten or more satelites (compared to other GPS modules of other phones) which give you faster lock on and more precise measurements.
All in all this phone will not disappoint you, or at least it has not disappointed me.

Brov i would advice yu to get one... am planning of get one soonest too!!!
tha only hinderance about tha phone is dat its small but still handy!
1) Yes, I would. I really like my little phone... I have no idea if any successor is planned - but if so, I don't think it'll be as cheap as the mini/mini pro at the moment.
I also really like the stock launcher, I like the hardware keyboard, the form factor, the speed of the CPU. The camera sucks, the batterylife is mediocre and the display resolution could be higher but it's still a very good phone.
2) I'm quite sure yes. I broke my root with the newest update (but didn't really need it at the moment) but I'm sure the community will come up with a new root very soon.
3) I think so
4) AFAIK the mini does have fewer problems with overall reception (GPS, GPRS, UMTS, WiFi). But - I want the keyboard!! The screen really is quite small - I don't want half of it used by the onscreen keyboard. On top of it - I'm really a lot faster with the hardware one - feels good, works well. TBH, the mini never was a valid option for me.
5) Yes, it does work but compared to other phones the reception is quite poor in my opinion. I don't need it on a day-to-day basis so it's not a deal breaker to me.
Tha main truth is tha SUCCESSOR of dis phone cant be sold dat amount!!! i just love XMP.... I must get it!
If you are interested (and in the UK) I'm selling one. It has only 2 days use, and last night I unlocked the bootloader, put CWM recovery on it, and put NeoDroid's V4 ROM and kernel on it.
Advert here...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1477219&highlight=xperia+mini+pro
Indeed a nice little phone. Much much snappier since I put the custom ROM on it. Got it overclocked to a safe 1.2GHz and removed all the bloatware. Running it as my daily use phone for a few days to make sure there are no bugs.
I've had mine for a few months and would still get one.
The screen is small/low resolution, but it fits in my pocket and there's very little out with a keyboard here.
SE made it easy to unlock, so I have a custom kernel and have no problems with it set to 1.6GHz.
I didn't like the launcher at all with its corners thing, but that's easy to replace
Sorry- I'm in the US, would need a version that could run on AT&T's network bands

Launchers like ADW, there's a few on the market
Custom kernels give a few more options, (Rage/KarmaRush) so something like setCPU or Tasker can set it to a higher CPU speed

Hello
1. I had an Xperia X10 mini pro, but bought an Xperia mini pro a few month ago. I am very happy with this phone and would buy the same again, if this one broke.
If you need a phone now, buy it now, It is a nice phone, the only problem I see is the that it can run out of RAM, but then get a kernel that supports SWAP, so you can get some paged memory.
2. I think that it is easy to root, even though it was easier on the Xperia X10 mini pro. The biggest problem is that you it is hard to switch back to the stock ROM. But Once you have tried CM7, will you never return (and CM9 is on the way).
3. I do not know about the Xperia pro, but I have not seen it on the Xperia mini pro, but there are very similar keyboards.
4. Personally I would never buy the Xperia mini. The pro version is not that much bigger and it actually has a very nice keyboard.
5. The GPS of the Xperia mini pro is working very nice here in Denmark. I actually use it as my primary GPS (even though I have a TomTom). I have seen some problems if I am too far out in the country and surrounded by big trees. But in exception of that am I very happy with the GPS of the Xperia mini pro combined with Google Maps.

You should try to install "GO Launcher EX" from the market.
hnl_dk thanks for dat info.... i think i ll buy it early nextmonth!
but yu talk bout Go Launcher EX, is it better dan tha ADW+??? but i thought Go Luanhcer EX is use for themes cos i use to see alongside themes.
Ok- I have to ask- what is with your grammar and spelling? I wouldn't mind if you said that you were not a native english speaker- where are you from? sorry.
I will start with the problems I have with Mini Pro
* Low resolution - You wont be able to play some games
* Small Screen -Nut can't take it as a big negative because its a MINI pro
As for your queries there is nothing in the current market which has the same or better hardware and is small .In the world of gadgets/technology it is normal for some product to be squished by a better one and it is inevitable so there is no use waiting for a newer one .
You can easily ROOT your phone ,there is a simple tool available - connect phone,click root and your done .
I don't think you will need swype because of the physical keyboard .But yes it will run.
Mini has no keyboard thats all .
GPS works without any issues .

They can both do themes, and I think there's free versions to try out. The difference is just preference, things like a few options or speed
I have no idea about XMP, I just used screenshot from the power button
I just recently got my SE Xperia Mini Pro, and I'm loving it. For the price I payed for it, I am surprise they are making a profit. My budget was around £250, I checked many phones and many didn't have the specs I was looking for. I needed a fast and good quality camera phone and the Mini Pro lives up to its standard.
Pros
Very fast phone, only crashes when you put it to the extreme
Camera is amazing, really surprised with the picture quality
Can run most apps and games without any problem
Hardware keyboard is really sturdy
SE has added Swype in the 2.3.4 update for the Mini Pro
Cons
Screen a bit small for typing
The outside feels like cheap plastic
This is a great phone for the price. If your budget is low, definitely get this one, If your budget is higher, a bigger screen might do better
1)Install Espier launcher(For the home screen)
2)Install iLocker Stock(For the lock screen)
3)Install iPhone Notifications Lite(For the notifications)
After you install all these from google play you can enjoy!!!!
Notes-1)Do not install Espier launcher HD cause it does not look good(The app name does not display)
2)iLocker Stock works best in a rooted phone so it would be good if you root your phone using a suitable update.zip root package.
3)iPhone Notifications Lite is a free version so it only displays notifications for certain things like(missed calls,Msg,and some more)

This phone was £90.
iPhones are rubbish and cost £400.
Admittedly I do like the look of an iPhone but hate the features of it.

2)iRhyiku i agree with your point. The looks of iPhone and the app grouping stuff is awesome but iPhone would be better if it could be open source like android so that it could have stuff like rom flashing and custom kernel. And good luck on ur theme..By the way srry for the broken links

2. Sony have said it will be coming soon. No date has been given though. I'm really hoping it improves performance or I'll have no choice but to go for another ROM.

Really nothing major, but it does stutter with the recent apps draw and similar little things. It also doesn't play animations very well in some spots. It is pretty snappy for the most part though, just not quite Nexus 4 snappy.

Nope, I'm on nova launcher. It's very fast and fluid on the home screen. The choppy animations are pretty random in odd areas, but still frequent enough to make me notice them. Small apps is very choppy for example.
For 1) - I am using the App "Screen Adjuster" for that.
Screen adjuster doesnt have an option for saturation or gamma. Hope sony releases their app.
I consider this phablet as a very good option. This afternoon I was in the store and I was amazed about the size and design.
But I have two questions:
Can you tell me your user experience with the Xperia Z Ultra? You can tell me any bug present on the phablet too.
How I can replace the battery in damage situations? I am worried, the XZU has integrated battery, I have a device like this an device like this and it's life was of 6 months. And when I tried to find another battery, I only take this device to the trash, :crying: I don't find anything.
Are this type of phablets a good option? What life time it have?
Thanks in advance and good night.

There are batteries on the internet so it shouldn't be too much of a problem to change.
The biggest bug is that on stock ROM most (if not all apps) run in phone mode. The other is the, at best, average camera.

easily fixable with Xposed Framework - App Settings.

That's because Sony is defining the Ultra as a phone and not a tablet. The app "Pocket" though, defines it as a tablet and that's why we have the tablet UI. It's the same thing with "TV Show Favs" and "IMDb" too.

But it's not about Sony and how they think it should be marketed, it should be all about the user and how they use the product. Sony would have known that the device will be used more as a tablet than a phone for a lot of users, would it have been so difficult to ad a toggle in display settings to switch between phone/phablet/tablet modes?
Next I'll want a toggle to swap between pocket size and tablet size - changing the physical form factor...

I think sony took reasonable decision here. Because a tablet layout would be too horrendous for a portrait layout. Everything will be too narrow. It is clearly only for a landscape layout (which suits tablet z more appropriately) but yeah a tablet layout on landscape is still a possibility. But i think Android doesn't support such layout witch just by the rotation?

I would not advise to change the dpi on a mega as even a little change will not let the phone back into your home page..and there is no way to get to the setting to set the dpi back..if you want to test this dpi out make sure your phone is rooted and you have a backup made so at least you can go back to the rom which you had before the dpi setting was changed.
That happened to me..but luckily I had a backup made in the recovery..so at least I could get back to were I started before the dpi change as these mega's seen to be very touchy when you change this setting..not sure why they are..but a backup is a must.

cant find what app controls the notification dpi
if you are root, install Xposed Framework. then enable and reboot. Enter in and go to modules, download app settings. Enable and reboot. Go to app setings apk and choose app you want to change dpi You also can choose resolution full screen and other options . Another modules is Tablet UI trigger if I remember.

I've given up, taking my mega back to metro for a refund before the 7 day period is up. I decided on the recently released Sony Z Ultra Play Edition that popped up on the google play store last night
How much you shell out

with tax and overnight shipping just under $715
returned my mega $443
sold my nexus 7 2nd gen $ $225
galaxy s4 up for sale after z arrives $350
basically just traded all my devices in to have just a single device and pocket some cash. but man this thing has to be a powerhouse that snapdragon 800 is one lightning fast SoC and then running on kitkat it should perform amazingly
Non removable battery right ? Eh I can't deal with that.Plus 2014 is going to be crazy ...curved hardware...and batteries....... 4k......64bit......new snapdragon410...I'm gonna wait till then and sell this mega. Hope you like it man

with my constant upgrades i'll probably buy new then as well, slave to my tech junkie fix
I use my devices as my car infotainment system, the nexus 7 2013 was perfect for my needs till I ran into tethering issues with T-Mobile. Can't use the mega till the tech you speak of is released. If I couldn't last a week with it I certainly can't hold out months. I need power, I run d base apps to track my deliveries, tips, mileage, and expenses, stream music, run maps, custom widgets along with a multitude of other apps to make my job/life easier. The mega just didn't have the power or the customization ability to satisfy my needs. At least with a google rom there will be source files available and custom recovery options so soft bricking doesn't involve a trip back to Metro swearing I didn't root it and don't know what happened. For users with less needs then me I am sure the Mega is a capable device.
We have cm now....but I understand what your saying ...the mega isn't a power house honestly but I'll be getting something too when that stuff rolls out . cheers:beer:
