Sony Xperia 10 Plus Tips and Tricks
If you have decided to ditch your iPhone in favour of Android, then there is a simple way to take your iTunes music, playlists and album art with you.
Simply go the Android Marketplace and download a Free App called Easy Phone Tunes. You will also need the computer version of the software, so go to http://easyphonetunes.com and download it from there. ?
Then, when that is done, turn your phone into a USB storage device (this will vary from device to device, but instructions are on the website).
Once your device is connected to your computer, open the computer version of the software and select your device from the Easy Phone Tunes list. Then follow the instructions to Sync your media.
If you get tired of receiving sales calls or want to block a particular number, then you can set up auto call rejects on your device.
Often you will get calls from unknown numbers. Depending on how cautious or curious you are, then normally it’s good practice to ignore such calls. If you don’t want to answer, but you’d still like to know who the call is from, then you can simply Google the number and there are a number of websites which lists phone numbers with details about the company of the caller. From these sites you can easily see if the call you received is from a dodgy company or not.
Once you have established that you want to block or reject the call in future, then open your normal Dialler App. Then go to Logs and find the number you want to block. Long press on the number and select Add to reject list.
From now on you will see that you received a missed call, however the phone will not ring and you won’t be bothered by the caller.
To manage or manually enter numbers on your reject list, then again open your Dialler App. Press your Menu key and select Call settings. Then Call rejection. Then select Auto reject list to see your reject number list. You can also manually add numbers from here
If you prefer a different voice when listening to the Google Maps voice navigation, you can select another language or accent.
To change this, go to Settings. Then select System – Language and input – Text-to-speech options. Then under the Preferred text-to-speech engine, press the gear icon.
From there, select Language and you will be able to choose from different languages or language variations.
First open your Contacts App and select a contact. Then press Edit at the top of the screen. You should then see some options to either take a photo or select a photo from your Gallery. To enable this feature, make sure the contact is saved in the Phone memory.?
While viewing your list of Contacts you can swipe from Right to Left to send a text message to the selected contact.
This might not work on all models.
If you want to remove the Google Search bar, simply tap and hold the bar and a remove button will appear at top of the screen, drag the bar to that remove button, and the bar will disappear.
If this is not working, go to Settings – Applications – Application manager. Then swipe from right to left so you are on the All screen. Scroll to Google search and press Disable.
Type a word that is not in the dictionary. The word will show up in the suggestion box to the left. Long press on the word and it will save to the dictionary.
There is a hidden Android Easter egg on the phone that Google has built into your device.
Go to Settings. Then scroll down to About device. Then tap on the Android version option 5 times.
Once you see something on the screen, you can then rub the screen with your finger to produce another surprise. If rubbing doesn’t work then try tapping with your finger. A combination of the above should work.
By the way don’t expect to see an actual Easter Egg. That is just the name given to things hidden inside software or operating systems.
To change your default font, go to Settings – Display – Font.
Now you can change the font size.
Another option is to install the popular Go Launcher EX App. Then once this is installed, download their GoLauncher Fonts App.
The fast and easy way to change the wallpaper on the Sony Xperia 10 Plus is to tap and hold on a blank space on your home screen and then tap “Wallpapers.”
From there, you can choose any image from your gallery or from a preset selection of live wallpapers from your device.
You may also go directly to your Sony Xperia 10 Plus Gallery then open an image of your choice. Once you open the image, select “More” to look for the “Set as Wallpaper” option.
You can also change your wallpaper from the Settings menu on your phone. Just follow these steps:
- Swipe up or unlock your home screen to display all apps.
- Look for the Settings icon, tap and then look for “Display.” For some phones, you might want to look for “Home Screen” or “Wallpaper” right away.
- Next, tap “Wallpaper” and select which folder or file you want to use.
- Find your desired image and tap “Set Wallpaper.”
You can always use your own image as a wallpaper. However, most phones also have a preset selection of wallpapers (or live images) that can be used anytime too.
You may also choose different images each for your wallpaper and lock screen. However, you may also use just one image for both.
