Sony Ericsson Xperia mini pro - User Reviews

  • I didn't try. I don't know I'm trying. I didn't even powered it on by a few years because I have Galaxy Note 9 and I forgot about that Sony phone.

  • Whatsapp OK Line No Line Lite No tested yesterday

  • Can you still use Whatsapp and Line on Xperia Mini Pro???

  • Can you still use Whatsapp and Line on that phone???

  • I want to purchase it. Please help. Its worthy in 2020

  • I still have one, working just as normal at Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.

  • I had the mini10 pro and bought the sk17i in the 2011 release and also still using it today 2019, I love the keyboard and front camera for skype, technology for me is miniaturization of things and not these brick size phones that are being produced. I use desktop PC and surface pro 2017 as work and play.

  • works on android 4.0.4

  • Still using it

  • I only use my phone for communications. I wish Sony would release a new Mini Pro, as I love the keyboard and the size. I recently bought a Z3 Compact, but see myself still carrying the Mini Pro as my main phone.

  • Working fine on my phone, running Android 2.3. Been using Whatsapp for over five years. I did root it, though, and removed a lot of Systems apps that I don't use/want. Note that video isn't supported with Whatsapp.

  • Mini Pro is lower resolution than the Pro, so even though they have the same CPU+GPU, it is easier to drive 320x480 over 480x854.

  • I recently lost my phone to a complete shut down, first I couldn't charge it and then suddenly it got charged but display went frozen, I cannot unlock the phone at all, seems that the touchscreen screen suddenly died. I am frustrated as it happened suddenly but worse is that I cannot get small phone anymore! I hate all new touch screen phones as they don't have long life, and they are everything else but a phone!. All I want on my phone is phone ability, camera, radio and music. I don't need or use internet as its not practical on a small screen. I am not old fashioned but a very practical person.

  • how did you emulate N64 this good? SSB runs at 60fps at all times and this would drain the battery pretty fast, i have the mk16i which in specs is the same cpu and gpu, what emulator you have used?

  • I have used this phone since August 2011! Still works! Just starting to go now, screen blanks out at times...keyboard has stopped working...everything else is still perfect!

  • I still miss this phone. It was able to emulate Super Smash Bros perfectly.

  • is this useless for apps? You most likely cant download spotify play lists with 512 mb internal?

  • My shit x performace died after getting in into water, so lucky i still have this wonderful phone for backup.

  • How can I update like you did please let me know Thanks

  • i have a black one psare collecting dust

  • I faced the same problem. Bring it to repair shop for hard reformat.

  • is japan sim compatible to sony xperia sk17i model

  • can it be inserted by japan sim..need answer asap

  • Installing custom software is the best option for this phone. I'm running PAC-rom (android 4.4.4) and it's running very smooth.

  • The model number of my phone is sk17i Os is android version 2.3.4

  • I have a Sony Xperia mini pro. I access the Google play store so well but when I want to download, I am sent an error message saying "error retrieving information from the server" with several codes enclosed in brackets

  • Hi Sammy, I got the same problem within one year of the purchase. I took it to the service center and they have put back the Ginger bread Android operating system. Do not upgrade this phone.

  • support Whatsapp, full working but not enought space.

  • I am not able download Whtsapp. I am using sony erricson xperia mini pro.whenever I am trying to download from Google play getting error "error while retrieving information from server.". Not even whatsapp , also unable to download any application from google play. Model Number : ST15i Anroid version - 2.3.4 If can get the solution to fix this issue, will help.

  • yup, this phone got whatsapp (old ver) from the beginning

  • Xperia mini pro support whatsapp?

  • my phone is not working properly so i went to sony shop but they reject to repair it so i tried at local market. they said me it has problem in slide plate.....

  • have you tried flashing your XMP with different firmware?

  • im using this phone since 2012...with its original setting and OS 2.3. Now i think its time for me to upgrade to ICS. The uprgrading (using my laptop and Sony PC companion,) process ran smoothly , without any problem whatsoever. But after 10 minute using my new upgraded phone,, its suddenly shutdown by itself,, and keep restarting .. :'( Somebody please help me.. what happened to my little X.M.P ?

  • Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman is my guess

  • Yessssss !! I went to the local shop and now phone is fixed. Will show thumb to the SONY company. They were not ready to repair it.

  • Hi all, I am feeling very low because my sony ericsson mini pro sk17i phone dropped and screen got damaged-- the guy asking rs 2500 to get a new lcd panel screen. The authorized sony service center did not accepted because its not SONY brand. Instead they said we are nop longer giving support to SONY ERICSSON. This made my heart broken into pieces. Thank you

  • Yes it can take the nano sim card but you have to insert it with a jack

  • Hi, quick question So there are three different sim cards currently, the standard, micro and nano, The SK17i takes the Micro phone ?

  • With Flashlight free app from Play Store

  • Hi Edd, Go to 3D camerea and start the flash light. You can see the lamp as ON mode. This will help to save the RAM. Otherwise people will install one app just dedicated to switch ON torch light.

  • How can I start the lamp?

  • What problems you are facing. Please tell me

  • Too much good phone. Durable, it has withstand 5 to 6 drops. Bought in March 2012 and using till now. The ultimate warrior in ANDROID

  • i have this mobile and i am facing problems with touch, so if somebody can help me how to find touch spare or how can i solve it. i am from egypt

  • which sony ericsson xperia phone has the best audio quality?

  • 1.-Yes-it has green notification light flashing faster for missed calls and slower for sms. 2.-i didnt try alarm but as long as i know alarm work on all switched off phones, optionaly you can activate "flight mode" and alarm works 100%. 3.-i dont use whatsup but i am 100% sure you can download-its a very good phone. 4.-it opens pictures and links within email.

  • Take out microsd and try hard reset (factory settings).....if it does not help try another microsd, i had similar problem with Sandisk 16 gb android, then i switched to Transcend 16gb class 6 and is running smooth

  • yes

  • Why Sony is not making phones likes Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc, Xperia Mini Pro? These are the best phones but no Sony is just too stupid to realize this!

  • Just root it. simple. its very easy to perform a one touch root, install link2sd and move your apps

  • Can anyone tell me, if we could install apps in SD card without the use of any 3rd party tool..

  • Some people are noob, they buy a cheap phone and they wanted to upgrade to the latest version of android.. Take note, do not update your firmware to the latest version or it will not run smooth.. I downgraded my phone to its stock firmware coz I realize that when upgraded some application will become heavier or putting some additional app to run in the background.. My phone is very smooth and it's like brand new.. Upgrade your phone if it's 2-3gig of ram so that.. Gingerbread.

  • can anyone described me or provide me a detailed link of how to install Kitkat on this device. please

  • Is there anyone living in the UK that would like a free xmp silicone case that fits around the phone securely and alllows the keyboard to slide in and out? Its a little damaged but it still securely opens and shuts and protects the phone.

  • yes.it has all the features you are looking for

  • Hi can anyone pls tell me if this phone has a notification light/led? if it can be switched off for the night and still will alarm in the morning? and also if it supports whatsapp? does it open pics and links within an email? thanks

  • I hqve problems .it restarts when I slide it .any help?

  • You can update your unit via root. Mine is running on kitkat and it is running well. The ram is ok because you can costumize your running app on backgrounds and minimize it when on standby.

  • how to upgrade to kitkat? already use for 3++ years..can we upgrade the RAM? or internal memory?

  • Mine just broke about a week ago. Was only just over 2 years old. Some advice to anyone, do not take the battery out quickly after turning the phone off, always wait for the vibrate to end . Usually I did, but this time I didnt and phone hasnt worked since. Tried other batteries and a repair is too costly.

  • I am using this phone for about 3 years now and all I can say is that the phone is really good. The smallest android phone that ever lived. The camera is excellent, I'm using android kitkat and it is running smooth.

  • Thanks!!!!!!

  • Custom ROMs work really well on this phone. You can get jelly bean and it flies! Tweak it a little, trim a bit of the Google apps and CM fat, and you've got a super usefull, sweet little QWERTY android phone!

  • Photos not loading, messages screwing up all that kind of thing are software issues and not related to the handset. Try searching for solutions within your version of android rather than this particular handset. If that don't work Reinstall Android, or root and install custom ROM

  • Xperia min pro is a awesome phone.....but since 1month m facing a problem with it all my pics and recently downloaded songs get deleted automatically....first I thought some memory problem but I uninstalled all app and useless stuff...but still facing the same problem it has happened atleast 5 times.can I get any advise why is this happening.other than this problem this is the best phone I ever had....

  • Upgrade to Jellyben 4.0 Recommended not to upgrade as it has many bugs like wifi wont work, Led notification wont work for social networks.

  • I've been using this since when I was highschool in 2012 and still works properly until now. I liked to do some things like using custom rom and flashing, until I bricked this phone once and I bring it to Sony center. I was worried and I'm scared that I can't use this phone anymore. After 1 month, Sony repaired it and thank God this phone still working so smooth, even I lost the home button. Lol.

  • i bougt it 2nd hand with Transcend microsdhc 16GB Class 6, then i change to Sandisk android microsdhc 16GB (red&grey)-had alot troble ,so i changed back to Transcend an works perfectly even card is almost full...GREAT DEVICE-LOVE ITS SIZE...unfortunately now broke down-unable to swith on, when i put in charger it only repeatedly shows "sony ericsson" which slowly disappear, i tried hardware buttons reset - power+volume up - didnt help - any suggestion??...i gonna buy another 2nd hand....IT HAS VERY LOW SAR

  • Well I have this phone since the begging 2011,and it still works perfectly. I dropped this phone so many times ,(sometimes really bad )and the only thing that was happening to the phone when I was dropping it again and again, it was asking to restat it because it didn't recognize the SIM, so people absolutely buy Sony products :)

  • I am using this phone for 3 yrs..bought on 2011......its working well..no problems at all... limitations are its low phone memory of only 400 MB and 512 MB RAM..hence while playing some games phone becomes slow...but it has awesome video quality and sound quality...can record HD videos and supported all kinds of HD videos..its one of the best ,fast qwerty display smart phone..it also supports 32 GB memory card .I am using sandisk 32 GB card...another one is its awesome quality 5 MP Camera..and 1 Ghz processor..

  • Owned this one for about 2 years now. Still works absolutely fine although slow since I updated the OS to v4.0. Recently I tried upgrading the SD card to a 32GB Samsung SDHC Class 10 as I had a regular SanDisk 8GB slotted in the phone. However after I made the transfer, the phone had trouble loading the files (eg. music, images) and they wouldn't appear at all or would tell me that the SD card was not available or unmounted. The apps that I moved to the SD card wouldn't load properly as well. I've since transferred back to using the 8GB SanDisk. I'm not sure why it couldn't load properly. Maybe the SD card type was too high class, powerful or large for the phone? I might try a 16GB when I get my hands on one.

  • Root your phone and uninstall unwanted apps on your system..

  • Root your phone and uninstall unwanted apps on your system..

  • To root your phone use "eroot" software. you can get this from 4shared.com simply install it in your Computer and click on -root after it detects you mobile. But first PC companion must be installed in ur Computer. You can also unroot it by clicking again on "root". After rooting, you can install "Roehsoft Ram expander" to expand your ram. Better use a class10 memory card slot

  • How did you root the phone? I have this phone as well and I'm in love with it, but it's getting super slow + the internal memory is too small to install all my favorite apps. Do you have any tips/tricks or a website you can refer to? I'd love to keep using this phone if possible.

  • I bought my wife an iPhone 5C to replace one of these so I could have hers to replace the DesireZ I got wet on my mountain bike. She now wants the MiniPro back because she can't do without the excellent keyboard. I'm gutted...

  • Been owning this phone for a year and upgraded it to Icecream sandwhich. Some people claim it gets slower with the newest updates, and sometimes it does. What I dont like is the 512 RAM part but I really dont use much apps and I have it mostly for SMS/calls and some Facebook. The screen can appear a little small, but that's what you get with such small phone. I absolutely love the physical home button, it's been saving my time to quit apps a lot. Absolutely worth it and the best qwerty from Sony in my opinion. If you have a chance to get it, do it.

  • Soon i buying this phone. 2nd Hand amount approx 2k. And anyone plz tell me maximum upgread version of this phone and it's good or not

  • I miss this kind of phones. Nowadays all phone in the market is coming with no slide out qwerty keyboard and all the phone are slabs. I hope to see a successor of this phone soon.

  • one year ago i tried to start my phone but it didn't start any more... no one could repair it until now. don't buy sony!!!

  • Bought in September 2011.. as soon as it was released. - Upgraded to ICS - Rooted the phone - With rootcapabilities uninstalled lots of unnecessary system apps.. gaining lots of free internal memory. - Apps like 'Titanium backup' & 'ROM toolbox kit' can move every app to sd-card. (root required) - Can almost customize anything.. changed system fonts to 'comic sans. This feels totally fresh. No problems this far. In love with this beauty. Awesom compact size, QWERTY keyboard, fits perfect into hands & pockets & capable of almost everything a new high end phone is. Cheers !! P.S - for those who have bricked their phone, use flashtool & it gets fixed in hardly 2 mins. You only need to download it once. All the best.

  • I have it it is awesome phone except when upgraded to newer OS some things wont work properly and it will take a lot of you phone memory so I recommend not to upgrade. Overall, if you like something different, special, interesting and small this is a phone for you.

  • I have the same but there some problem to hear ring tone and music any body knows advise

  • Is this phone still on the market, if so please let me know where i can get one.... please.

  • i have bought this in 2014 april and with great diffculty if u find it congrats u got best phone for u

  • Yes.. I am using this mobile near 2 hours... I don't fill any problem.. really a great product..

  • I want to buy this mobile. Is this still exist in market? If so, let me know please.

  • still have and still love the same :)

  • How I can send a contact no. through simple messaging(not through Business Card) directly?

  • I bought it in 2011, few months after it was released. It was the best phone at that time. The only fast smartphone which has keyboard. But then, 2 years later, my phone's got hardbricked (can't be turned on at all, no light indicator). I thought it was only me, then I borrowed my friend's phone which xperia mini pro too. I charge the phone for few minutes, then same thing happened. It's hardbricked too! damn, they're total useless after 2 years.

  • Total waste of money. My mobile was come to halt after 14 months. I have checked with sevice centre and they have said that it has software problem, board prolem, display blinking etc., Now I am using as paper weight.

  • If it got wet you should leave it in a bag of rice for 48 hours

  • same here, but I have done something that solved my prob! when the baterry goes down from 39% to 1% then I made frequent calls until it switches off, then again tried to restart it, but failed, then again after some time restarted it again , keep repeating this few times, after 2-3 hrs place it on charge you will see that the battery is charging from 1%, hope u understand

  • I bought my sony ericson xperia in 2012. This morning I have noticed that FM radio and music comes on automatically and it really disturbs my incoming calls. What should I do to stop the FM radio and music to come on automatically?

  • The only drawback is that if its touch is broken, the complete panel has to be changed. and it is very costly as compared to other android phones.

  • If this support 3g video call? I tried but can't find any option.

  • I also bought my phne 2years ago..with os 2.3..bt still going on safely..

  • Believe me. Its an awesome device which dont consume much cost and worth buying. I'm buying it once it released and used til now. But now its completely destroyed due to my heavy usage. Fall thousand times. Reason its shut is becoz of mass cracked and make the digitizer mulfunction anymore. Love this device

  • WoW!

  • The outcome of that accident depends on whether your phone was switched on or not; for how long was it immersed in water. If you are lucky your phone is working by now / or do some low temp hair drying to get rid of all the dump trapped inside. Trouble is if the connectors of the battery get wet while connected the whole thing can go grilled and rendered unusable. If the immersion happens for let's say a second or two that cover is tight enough to slow the flood down enough for you to be able to recover the device with dry battery.... Good luck anyways.

  • video calling can b possible.

  • my xperia pro mini just went off after sometime when it had fallen in water now the phone cant even boot pliz help with opinions to solutions

  • its worry free thing dude..all u need is ur usb cable and a strong internet connection...first connect ur sk17i to the pc and a pop up will be appearing in ur screen asking to install PC COMPANION in ur pc..do such thing and try to explore the softwware and u can update using dat....believe me i did thhat :)

  • when my battery goes down from 39% it shows 1% battery remaining and shutting down. when i charge it start charging from 39% battery level. i clean all the apps and resetting all the system but the problem still exist. i thought it is due to 2x power battery app and then unstall it but the problem is not solved..please help me.

  • I bought it in 2011, after 2 years, it was broken. I cannot turn on the phone or charge the battery. LED indicator not functioning. I was happy using this phone because its the only smartphone which has keyboard. When you buy this phone, it's true that there will be noise when recording video and sometimes the screen blinking because of the auto ambient.

  • We need a successor to this phone. Please Sony. Here are the specs that I want to see: 4.3" screen with 720p or qHD or WVGA resolution, 250 ppi, Gorilla Glass 1 or 2, Display should be IPS, 5 MP camera with LED flash or 8 MP, 100dB sound, Walkman, Android 2.3 Gingerbread or Jellybean OS, polycarbonate or aluminum body, slim bezels, Rubberized buttons for Qwerty keyboard with l laid out keys, 2500 mAh battery removable battery,MiMicroSD upto 64 GB, 1 GB RAM, Front facing 2 MP camera, Playstation certified, MediaTek MT6589T Chipset, quad band GSM and 3G, WIFI, Bluetooth, etc. Please Sony..

  • this is the most awesome low end android ever. but plz do not update it to ICS. though how tempting it looks. DO NOT UPDATE. believe me I have fist hand experience. ot her wise don't think twice about buying it

  • Try rediff shopping

  • Hi Everyone, My Mini Pro Touch is not responding. Now the screen has blanked off but i can still receive calls. Can someone help me in finding a replacement screen in Pune or Mumbai. or even online. Thanks in advance. Email : [email protected]

  • This phone maybe just 3.7" and have only 1500mAh battery But it have keyboard, better camera, and ofc Gingerbread :)

  • To all people with auto-restarts: Your phone is simply not powerful enough to load all SD card information at once. Take SD card out, turn your phone on and after ~5 mins put card in. Should work. To all people with touchscreen not working anymore, screen not working, keyboard not working or screen simply showing broken image (like top shows in bottom and other part of screen is like random colors): all you need is to change ribbon, not whole screen. It can be done at home with ribbon from e-bay, but it's best if professional does it.

  • When my phone kept on restarting I took out the battery and then replaced it but after doing that also the display did not work.

  • try change the battery , last time i got same problem like you , after i change my battery , i can ON my xperia mini pro , this only my opinion , i dont know if your phone got other problem

  • I bought a Sony Xperia L, and i noticed the sound quality is crap compared to the Sony Ericsson 2011 Devices. The Xperia L distorts when I add Bass, and the max volume is weak. The Mini Pro sounds more "abrassive" and powerful.

  • thanks brother, while i am browsing to internet after few mintes it getting off, can some one help me regarding this issue:

  • when i on the camera its showing camera unuvailable, i want to know this is a software problam or hard ware problam?

  • Best phoneI ever had :)

  • Does is support Viber?

  • no.. upgrading RAM of a phone is not possible.. whereas I would suggest u to stay on 2.3 GB and move all your app to sd card as much as possible... your phone will be smooth and ready to go

  • Had the device for almost 2 years its an awesome experience if you are comfortable with small screen devices. HD video recording and a 1Ghz processor with 512RAM(actual capacity is less due to OS needs) It was a beautiful daily driver with 12hrs or moderate battery usage time and the physical keyboard made it possible for easy Email and texting.(Considering the less space available on screen) Too bad the phone was Kinda shrouded out after Ericsson split.

  • Is there a possibility to upgrade the RAM of this phone? I am using this phone and I love all its features, except the RAM size.. it could help a lot in improving the efficiency of the phone if I can upgrade this part. by the way, my home country is in the Philippines.

  • Good phone! Worth the money!

  • I have updated the software from 2.3 and now it's 4.0.4 through a service center. But i'm facing the problem that, the phone is very slow to use any apps. But after updating, a lot of improvements are there expect speed. Camera quality, Wi-Fi, etc are so improved.

  • it s very cool to use....

  • I've had this phone for one year and it's now dead. The screen is no longer functional and I can't access anything. I am angry that I can't get it repaired in NYC, and I had to buy a new phone, NOT A SONY. I am disgusted.

  • Yes whatsapp supporing .I love you my mini pro

  • Ofc lol

  • is dis phone zip format supported???

  • I used this phone since one year and a half. It is a great phone in design and speed. The phone is not large, but deep and heavy which give you impression like holding a classic Nokia with a new, elegant design and technology. The bad side is its weak battery. I wonder when Sony Ericsson will make another phone like this?

  • this phone is gr8t I love it

  • I'm using this set about 441 days. right now it's running in unofficial Android 4.2.2 JB. It's a wonderful device. Current Antutu benchmark is 7058 :P and Nenamark 2 has 44.2 FP/s :D Camera can capture mind blowing shots! specially at outdoor. though low light and indoor has poor shutter speed along with poor image quality. But Battery backup is bellow considerable level. Also loud speaker performance is very low! Any way the display is not big enough for E-book and web surfing. Although IT gives a very good view under direct sun. As Sony stopped development for this device. So i would not recommend it.Also its pretty old model too. But if you do a lot of "texting/Chat" and Shoot images outside, it would a gadget you will foll in love with! Like me! I love you! my Xperia mini pro! Note: my mini pro has been Overclocked. Also has custom kernel, Governor,I/O scheduler etc. so that the benchmark is high.

  • Yes you can take screenshot smoothly by press together ""power key and sound down key"".

  • Try pressing POWER and VOL- at the same time for 2 seconds.

  • i have been using this phone for two years now and it's nice...When I upgraded to ICS, the speed was fine, I think the battery life got better, camera is still great but the 'screenshot' feature was missing. Can you help me solve this? Is it hidden on some new shortcut button or should I download an app?...thank you!

  • I'm using this phone now. It's a nice & handy smartphone. The only lackness of this phone is its battary power. Without battary capacity problem.....it's such a amazing phone to use !!!

  • This phone have more battery time if you use battery guru. It's a program from qualcomm the company that designed the phones's cpu.

  • battery timing is bad in this mobile.

  • Playstore>option>settings

  • Pls help me.my google play suddenly is not showing my installed apps and apps update. Whenever I try to search any thing, max times it is showing no results found. What to do? Thanks in advanced

  • Its the web browser cache that needs clearing.......and delete txt msgs and clear msgs cache also if u want to delete all msgs it will also help.

  • You could download quick pic. Also clear cache and make sure you dont have much stored on the phones memory. On most phones this will all help loads to making it faster. There are reasons why it gets slower......mainly through ram being used up.

  • as i activate bluetooth for file transfer, My phn is getting restated time to time automatically and have no access on it... what should i do to make it work properly???

  • So I've had this phone for about 2 years now.. at first I was real excited to get this phone. It was cool for a while.. but then I started to have many issues with it. First off, the battery life is horrible. You can probably go only half the day or even less with the phone even if it is fully charged. I never had to consistently bring a charger with me everywhere I went. Another problem is that it freezes a lot. Whenever I want to check a text message or view my gallery, sometimes it takes a while to open up. I'm a lover for small keyboard phones like this but I would not recommend it :/

  • its great

  • 1.6?

  • im using xperia mini pro with android version 1.6 and the problem is that i cannot download certain applications including whatwapp.

  • Free some space on your phone.

  • Hi! I have not found any major errors because of updating. but gallery loads vry slowly. even takes 15 to 20 mins to view a pic when i move or copy it to another folder and hide or unhide it

  • Wrong

  • don't upgrade, it makes the phone quite slow. I think mainly because of 512 MB ram

  • Xperia SK17 teardown:

  • If you unable to unlock the screen, then slide up the keyboard. Pretend to make an emergency call - type 911. Navigate with arrow keys to execute the call icon. When it's trying to connect then navigate and select cancel. This will unlock the screen.

  • Try to test..(*#*#7378423#*#*)

  • I've had the Sony Experia SK171 mini pro for three years. I got it in Hong Kong but am using it in Australia. I am very happy with it. It surfs the net, the keyboard lights up when typing, I do WhatsApp on it and Skype. It's the best phone I've had. The video and picture quality is great. I took some night shots when holidaying with my phone and the night shots were better than my Cannon camera. Last night I accidently dropped it and cracked the screen but found a brand new one, same model on eBay and bought it. Am waiting for it to arrive.

  • great...

  • no it wil be slow hang

  • Awesome phone, I am using xperia mini pro sk17i since Aug 15 2011.... best performance. SONY MAKE AND BELIEVE!

  • Using this phone for two years now. Its simply amazin. No hangups nothing. best phone,

  • Check your battery firs if there is a problem.

  • Try to reset ur phone but before that backup everything.

  • i am using this phone 1+ year its wark fine but now it otomatic restart sometime.what can i do?

  • Great phone I am using it from October 2011 and no prob so far. I recently upgraded to ICS and working fine without any lag, even can play 720p videos smoothly with internal memory filled up. Great support from Sony. If you compare this phone with the models that are released now u will get these at the same price as it was 2 yrs ago even less without the keypad. I am looking forward if Sony launches a model like this one with a bigger screen in future, having removable keypad, an average processor and gpu, 720p display, hspa+/lte, 2000mah battery and with android key lime pie. Also to mention with a replacement offer.

  • ok I will try,thanx 4 long conversation :-)

  • Activate your GPRS again,download internet settings and subcribe plans on your network and try download in playstore.

  • ok thanx,,first of all I have to try wth another sim card wth same network

  • Playstore is different browser compare to others.It needs strong internet connection.Contact your network provider and ask for support.

  • yes,i have 4 opera mini browsers in my phone n everyone works well,yea this is a curious prob

  • yea it has full internet acces,as I told earlier opera mini,dolphin browser,skype,nimbuz n other apps work fine.the only prob with play store and Uc browser

  • Do you have opera mini browser in your phone? I'm curious whether your sim card is having a problem with HTTP protocol. In opera mini there's a setting to choose HTTP only as internet protocol so you can check whether the sim card is able to access internet using this protocol.

  • If you want to use your old sim, make sure that your plans/subscriptions on your network has full internet access.

  • It means there's no problem with your phone and playstore.

  • no,not the same network.any other network,i must try with another sim card with same network

  • You said that if you change your sim, you can download in playstore.Are you using same network or not?

  • thanx 4 advise.bt I did it already.clear cashe memory in Uc browser n also reinstalled it.bt doesnt work :-(

  • wi fi is rare in my area..no that network supports well nearly a month ago,should I reset my 4n?

  • I installed UC browser for tablet to my mini pro and it worked fine. Then I run play store to download apps. The first app was installed with no problem, but when I tried installing the second app I got this message: downloading failed. Error .927. So I went to app manager and clear cache from UC browser app then the awaiting app immediately get installed. Not sure about this, but you should check your uc browser also, seems it has some bugs or something which cause this problem.

  • Sometjmes network provider doesn't support playstore, you ban browse but you can't. download. Much better to use wifi.

  • no,it works fine before a month ago

  • thanx,,,yes I did clear cashe in settings,n I tried everything.also i did reinstall play store,bt doesnt work.and Uc browser also doesnt work

  • Hi, can someone tell me if i should exchange my samsung wave s8500 for this phone ? I really liked android in the past, but i got bored of all the rooting and stuff, so i picked up the wave. Is this a good phone, generally speaking ?

  • I have been using this phone for last 1 year..camera apps and game set ups were exellent in this phone.but in the field of internet it fails ,my frnds nokia lumia520 works and download 100 mb data of wifi very easily..just take only 10 minutes whereas my xperia mini pro cant get that speed and it take even 30 minute to download 55 mb. can u help me to solve this? is there a need 4 me to upgrade this?can I make this as 2 ghz processor

  • If you are able to open play store and other google related apps with the current sim card inserted that means it doesn't have problem with google service. Usually this can be solved by clearing cache of play store app from app manager in settings menu. Then restart the phone.

  • Maybe your network does not support playstore for downloading.

  • (thanx 4 ur kindness to advise me) yes I have enough storage,also I have no prob with internet connection,3g works fine,yesterday I got an apps from play store too(using another sim card) and I got play services.bt still same prob

  • Make sure that you have internet connection.

  • Make sure that you have internet internet connection if you're using mobile data.

  • Hi I bought dis mobile a week ago, I was very much eager to buy dis phone n atlast I bought dis cute phone but I ve problem in downloading songs, plz anyone help me to overcome dis problem, thanks a lot in advance JB:-)

  • Try to connect in a working wifi and download in playstore, make sure you have enough storage.

  • thank u so much.i ll try to download it :-) yes download depends on network.but theres no any prob with download,speed downloading using opera mini.except play store

  • downloading depends on your network.

  • try to download google play service.

  • yes it was a good 4n,no any prob with touch screen n ribbon.bt if u always use qwetery keyboard idk abt that.bt mine was great...the only prob is battery.u must charge it every day...yes it s better than galaxy y,,mini pro is powerful than galax y.nice graphics camera internet no dought its great

  • just format your phone. foolow this processs= settings+privacy settings+factory data reset+erase sd card than press reset phone. all problem will be solved.

  • there is a baseless comment on xpmpro 's ics update,that it will get freeze after ics update.no truth in it is.i have been using xpmp for more than one year after ics update.so stop spreading rumour.

  • i'm using this phone for 8 months, and now i had trouble.. sometimes if i launch settings, there is a statement "unfortunately, settings has stopped." and I experienced the same thing when opening google playstore, gallery and maps when pressing the menu key.. what happened with my phone? and what should i do to fix this trouble? thx and sorry for weak language..

  • this phone requires proper management of internal memory, given there isn't too much scope there. Also, widgets must not be used. then on, with ICS, this probably is the best budget phone in the market. (only for those who can bear a comparatively smaller screen, for me, even the screen is enough)

  • don't try to upgrade this phone! it periodically freezes at any time. stick to gingerbread instead. its still a great value for money.

  • its the worst phone i ever used. after upgradation from 2.1 to 4.0 often its getting hanged (atleast once in a day i ve to remove the back panal and restart it). getting scratchs on the keypad when i slide out the keypad.

  • It's like buying a startup DSLR.. Amazing performance. Amazing Skype calls. Amazing Viber calls. Beautiful Wifi Hotspot and easy operations for video and shooting. A value for money phone. Wish this beauty to have a bigger battery which can run this for 5 days! Still amazing 1.5 day performance. Love this.

  • Hi everybody plz help me xperia mini sported a skype video call r not bcoz i m trying to buy this

  • connect to a wifi then go to setup..,download internet settings.

  • sure

  • use pc companion

  • 12345

  • what is your phone firmware?

  • This phone is also known as "xperia mango" (was it's codename while development). In Europe it is marketed as SK17i and in North America as SK17a. GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 - all models HSDPA 900 / 2100 - SK17i HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100 - SK17a

  • sony sk17i mango is not sony xperia x10 mini pro

  • Due to small display has long battery life. Can last 2-3 days at moderate usage... good for 2011 smartphone. Fast for everything you need to do with it.

  • you mean download chatting applications? yes you can

  • I had the same problem, i did many things also reseting and stuffs. but after i i figured that fault is on the flex cable. may be its damaged. replace it

  • im using Sony Ericsson Xperia mini pro almost 1 & half year, still its seems nice except the battery. battery is same as all other Xperia phones. less battery duration.

  • Good one except battery as you have to charge once in 18 hours

  • some of the games in playstore are already "package file invalid".

  • I think you messed up with the touch sensor this time. You see the screen and the touch sensor are stuck together, once you break the screen there's a great possibility that you also damage the touch sensor. In your case, the touch sensor worked even with messed up screen but the damage got into the touch sensor after a month of use of damaged screen. Your situation is not unusual to me, things like that happen. es eych ai tee happens you know.

  • is it cool guys?i'm looking for a xperia mini pro.is it good or bad.

  • This is a common gmail app issue. If you are using it for play store or just to get your emails, make sure the apps are up to date. Some of the older versions of both these apps had problems with connection. Otherwise, try the original connect using wifi rather than gprs

  • Firmware issue, if you don't know how to install firmware, bring it to your phone shop and they'll do it for you. it's a simple fix!

  • my cellphone hang when it opens what can I do????

  • DO NOT BUY! I hate this phone. It constantly crashes on me (I have no viruses on it) and the lack of options is terrible. Oh and the biggest thing - if you try and save a text message, it only saves the preview! You know, like how if you're scrolling through your inbox you can read maybe the first 30 characters or so of a text? That is ALL it saves and you can't go into the text! I have messages now from deceased loved ones that I will never be able to read again because of this damn phone. I was so upset when I found this out.

  • check first your internal memory. bacuse sometimes even though you have free 50mb internal it says that package file is invalid. try to move some apps to your external drive.

  • unless you move the games or big apps to the sd, you won't notice the internal memory limit

  • sometimes the autodetect doesn't work, you need to restart the phone when doing that, unmount and mount again the microsd doesn't work always

  • sony will not release any more versions of android, this phone will remain in android 4.0.4 if you want a more recent version of android, you need to use something like cyanogenmod if it supports this phone

  • in reply to maddy. your battery does not charge. i got the same problem, try inserting a small piece of paperon the opposite side of the battery terminal so it have a good contact on the connection. regards

  • go to settings - apps ... all tab - choose media storage, clear data then restart.

  • Thanks, but I already did that. I even installed and uninstalled WALKMAN app since it replaces the default music player, but no hope. I have restarted the phone many times but still the same music list, even though it shows the updating icon when first opening the app. This really sucks. I'm still trying to troubleshoot it until now.

  • go to settings = applications = mange applications = all = music player = clear data.. restart the phone.

  • hw to upgrade it to 4.1....???

  • Restart the phone.

  • help! my xmp does not update it's music content after putting music on it. I used Sony MediaGo to transfer music, when it's done, I clicked 'eject' and said it's safe to remove device. And then when I opened the Music player, the usual "updating" circle icon is there, but after it's done, the same music content is there, the ones I added aren't there (or undetected?) help me please...I tried doing it many times, even unmounting/remounting my sd card. I tried power amp to update content and the list is updated only in power amp, not in the default music player. please Help me.

  • Hi am using this white xperia for past 1 and a half year, it is having really a sexy appeal. Good to use nd it is very smooth. i ave installed lots and lots of application in go store, it doesn' hang on anyway. The most highlighted application is the battery booster, which is good for power saver, automatically monitering the battery use and gives warning whenever the battery is getting heat and goes to low battery level. Overall very nice and i LOVE IT

  • plz hw did u update to jellybean!!!

  • Works like a charm, updated to Jellybean. Yes, you do need to charge daily if you use the phone often. 400MB of space isn't much, no matter how big your memory card is as whatever app you download will still eat up phone storage. So you need to be choosy about your apps. If you're playing DrawSomething, the screen is way too small. I rarely use the slide-out QWERTY keyboard, but it's useful when needed. I'd still choose this as a very affordable smartphone.

  • Mine won't charge ! Its like broken and it wont work ahhhhh I miss my phone. Any suggestions? Email me at [email protected] please!!!!

  • I am so devastated, it has not been more than 6 months and my phone is almost dead.. I just dropped it once and the complete display has maligned!! it works sometimes and sometimes it doesn't!! When I bought it, I had updated with cyanogen mode.. and the warranty turned void.. and hence the Xperia support cldn't offer me free service! I feel so gutted! x(

  • Hey guys pleaseeessss help... Recently I updated my phone Xperia Mini Pro to ICS and then all of a sudden it stopped responding and was rebooting on its own i.e. It shows SONY logo and then XPERIA logo and fails to start up the phone and again repeats the both logos endless times but does not finish the startup process. What can I do to fix it ? Phone is in off now and my PC cannot recognise the phone to update the software once more ? Any chances of starting the phone in safe mode or anything else ? Please help ?

  • its because the phone doesnt let you use all of the internal memory..

  • the graphics sucks

  • This is an amazing phone,durable and reliable,except for the battery issue.been using it for over a year and a half and can confidently say the best for its price and for the specs,one other issue u may face is the 400 mb Rom,gets filled fast.otherwise,buy it if you can

  • the fone works incredibly but the battery is sooo busted!the fone conserves more battery consumption because of the screen uses. 60% of my battery is in the screen.

  • hey you! don't you get it. nowadays normal sim are called mini sim and the other sim is micro sim, there's no such thing called a normal sim. use your common sense

  • Normal sized SIM = Mini-SIM What you may be referring to is the Micro-SIM like the ones being used now.

  • This phone takes a NORMAL sim card, NOT a mini sim card. Again, this phone takes a NORMAL sim card!!!

  • Bloody waste of time! Always needs charging up and seems to have a mind of it's own!

  • This phone is perfect...

  • simple dnt use wifi

  • How can I upgrade this phone(xperia mini pro) from 2.00 to 4.00. please anyone help me. give me a instruction for upgrade this phone. thank you....!

  • Ya.,surely

  • The answer is no. You can't upgrade to JellyBean (4.1) officially but to ICS (4.0). But Unofficially you can upgrade to 4.1. You have to root your XPERIA to do this. Remember, rooting your handset is against the terms of warrenty. So you loose the warrenty when you root the phone.

  • A truly awesome phone! Great surprises come in small packages! Cons: Sony now limits support to it's 2011 range(software)meaning XMP,MP,Active,Lww and Neo's will be stuck in the ICS! sorry but no JB for these ranges!

It has the same chipset (and other specs) as the Xperia Pro, V, etc. I have an Xperia Pro and it totally rocks! It's doing beautifully in gaming, multitasking, browsing (Dolphin), etc, etc. Plus, having a lower resolution screen benefits it. This for sure is a very good device! - L.

  • If you open a contact from contacts list and you don't see any video calling option, that means the phone is not able to make native video call (over 3G cellular). Nokia can make video calls ? So did sony ericsson since 2005, but since they join with android - and since nokia uses WP os - native video calling option is no longer available on their products (android and windows phones, and also Apple's iphones).

  • can i have a little help? how can i find the native video call option over 3g network (not skype) like it's possible to make a video call in nokias?

  • Dat can solve the problem.bcos the screen touch(digitizer) is gone/bad u have 2 get anoda digitizer and fix it 2 d phone.

  • well actually, believe it or not, samsung's cameras IMO are not high-quality, no matter how big their pixels are. my sis has a S3, and she admits herself that my xperia mini pro's photos are far smooth than her S3's. well, sony advances in cameras though, as they use their own camera technology on their smartphones.. so i assume sony will always win at this camera quality thingy.. :)

  • My mini pro touch screen sudenly not responsive at all or if I touch the screen the screen not responding , anyone know how to solve ? Or upgrade firmware to ics can fix this ? Thanks

  • Yes, you can. There is an on-screen keyboard available if you prefer to use that instead of the slide-out one.

  • Excellent phone with Keyboard, useful functions and shortcuts. And design is neat !

  • Hello, can I use the keybord on the screen without slide /open the mobile phone (for writing a message)?

  • How to delete bloatwares like wisepilot and playnow

  • settings> applications > select any installed application> choose move to SD. Wait till "move to sd" turns "move to phone". Repeat the procedure for other apps which allow sd transfer. Delete bloatware like playnow,wisepilot,etc.

  • Need some help pls ! Downloading any apps from "Google Play", I have found that it is generally stored on Phone Memory, Not the external SD Card ! As a result, now I have just 100MB of Phone memory left! A friend of mine suggest me to use "Apps to SD" apps to transfer apps from Phone to SD card ! But installing this app does not help me every time. More or less 30% apps is now transferable. Rest are NOT at all. So, friends pls help me regarding this horrible issue. It ruins my life as well as my phone memory also.

  • As i said previously, i bought it from Tiong San department store in Baguio. At that time, i myself could not believe that price... But if you go to TSH often enough, you will find a lot of good deals there...

  • guys anyone tell me the procedure about how to connect the external hardisk through otg cable

  • how come bettary pack up

  • Where did you buy this phone for Php6600?

  • You are right. My bad! It does have equalizer presets but no custom eq setting in the stock music player.

  • good phone full system nice

  • remove the battery, then put it back in, press the button and then connect the data cable, if you do this turned on, it doesn't work

  • there is a equalizer in the xperia player under android 2.3.4 and under android 4.0.4, i have used both the thing is that is not that good and you can't edit settings of equalizer so it is limited i ended using another music player, atm i'm using rocket player, it allows to edit or create different equalizer settings, xplay is another option too digital zoom is present on almost every phone i have used, normally when you have volume buttons you can zoom in or out but remember that digital zoom produces low quality images so better just take the picture and then edit it on a pc or use mxcamera on the phone to crop or edit the image to get better results

  • Yes you can. The physical keys are very nice to touch too.

  • Yes it has digital zoom. No equalizer on the stock player, but there is xloud enhancement in settings.

  • Bought mine from TiongSan Department Store Baguio last July.

  • it have equilizer in player or zoom in camera,plz anyone tell me

  • Where did you bought it in PH?

  • Ok, I'll try that. I dont like the update. my phn is laging & hanging after the update.Also flash player works sometimes, it disturbs a lot.Ics sucks. Thinking of Downgradind my phn and then root it

  • Bought this phone just a week after it had come out and still love it NO hangs with stock rom. NO screen touch problems except when using the charger of some other company (voltage problem). Battery drains really fast with the extra Sony Ericsson contents loaded But after rooting and customizing my rom, this phone is really awesome! Battery, Camera, the UI with Bravia experience, the Speed and sound quality. It is all amazing! Don't forget the external keypad (which is why I had bought it initially). Agreed there are better phones presently in the market but this one really was amongst the top back then. It can yet stand up amongst the average phone even after one and a half years of its release If you wanna make full use of it then try rooting or upgrading the rom. All your snarls can be fixed just as mine were. But this phone is yet one of the best and all my friends with Galaxy S3, One X and others of that kind still love it. Nevertheless, the screen size is a turn-off while playing games especially. Its design and keyboard are the only things that have stopped me from changing my phone. And mind it, it is pretty sturdy too having fallen multiple times, yet in one piece. I YET LOVE MY FIRST ANDROID A LOT

  • The issue is not SUDDEN out of now where! an interrupt during a large file delete leads to the situation. Either the deleting process was cancelled in the middle or home button pressed. Try using the card with PC (card reader) if data accessible back up and format the card, else simply format.

  • hey can anybody help.me please....i just upgraded my fathers xperia mini pro to ics...it was going smooth...suddenly...today...it first showed...memory card not available....then now its showing...format memory card..can anybody pls....help.me and...say to.me how to get tis problem.fixed....pls

  • This phone can be called Mini Samsung Galaxy S3. Its camera is better than S3 though. I know it sounds unbelievable, but it's true.

  • NO such issue here! Perhaps a static charge builds up, when connected to charging source. Remove the screen protector or try cleaning the screen.

  • did u try holding the volume down button? just upgraded yesterday and btw why down grade?

  • Is there any body who has downgraded to GB? I've performed all the steps using flash tool. after then The flash tool says to connect usb cable to Pc and tells to press and hold the back key but nothing happens. Pls help me !!! how much time it takes? How do I know its downgrading?

  • Screen response disturbed when connected to Micro USB with ICS

  • Stay stock avoid experimental custom kernels! Downgrade to Gingerbread!

  • verry ood mobile and it is so cute and nice to handle it and everyboby my friend liked and battery backup is good, camera clarity is good. totally nice mobile

  • Aug 2011 - 2013: - 3x hangs - 3x capacitve touch freezing - 1x home button/ power button not responding when standby.

  • 2011-2013... still a nice phone :D

  • I got mine brand new for Php6.6K... It is worth every peso for me. :)

  • Can you compose a message using not the physical keyboard but the screen itself?

  • WiFI reception is quite poor. Just in a house of 20 x 60 can't get full reception.

  • If you are considering a minuscule sized, full hw keyboard, 3G, dual cam phone than you have no options!

  • is this still a good buy? considering xperia phones out in the market? (fr. Philippines)

  • is this still a good buy? considering xperia phones out in the market? (fr. Philippines)

  • i think for this price range u can get HTC chacha, wildfire, wilfireS................in nokia u can get N500,n700 and n701.in samsung u can get galaxy ace.i think for this price range XMP is equipped well.the screen quality,audio playback,camera is great...in other phones there are only 1 section they have improved.example nokia the screen is amoled and have higher ppi.but thats it.for an all rounder performance its should b definitely XMP......

  • battery backup is not up to the mark

  • Relax boy you seem to be rather obstinate and keep those unruly remarks to youself. your phrases don't make sense: "get your basics right and then talk about HTC...." "stop this mini pro obsession"... "grow up buddy"! I know there are great phones out there but can you name any one phone released between 2011-2013 with minimal size,sliding keyboard,led notification,Dual camera,Bravia-like screen? Simply none. My remarks were for the color smudge in camera pics,(you dont understand the word "tint") on HTC cameras and Xperia 2012 models. READ before answering. Your every peer having an HTC couldn't convince you to buy one, and you end whinning obsessively against xperia mini pro. If man enough throw off xperia MP rightaway and all your toubles end!Else stop trolling here.

  • how the hell do you know I dint tried enough HTC?? my every peer has got a HTC so you better get your basics right and then talk about HTC.... oh cmon kid stop this mini pro obsession...there are better fone's available in market try them..even tipo is better than mini pro...grow up buddy!

  • Hw can I update my xperia mini pro to i.c.s 4.3

  • Be specific when comparing two phones. its not xperia mini pro against HTC. besides you haven't tried enough htc! EVERY HTC I TRIED running ANDROID OS has pink/blue tint in the pics. XPERIA mini pro pics are very clear. Try getting an XPERIA 2012 phone and you will realise a blue tint in bright parts, this is not the case with xperia mini pro. AM NOT convincing you, since you are a whinning kid. Have reasons for NOT liking what you have and though cant afford but idealising the bigger toys. NO 5MPX regular CMOS camera equipped android phone beats XPERIA mini pro quality and sound! END TO Argument!

  • not convinced by ua reply..its battery is an issue..isn't? ...also HTC's 5mp is way better than Sony's 5mp...I cant carry my cyber-shot everywhere... I'm compromising on its 3inch size js because I want features...bt Sony is not providing me that...I mean battery back up, RAM, camera....the fone is relli disappointing in these areas :/

  • Bro what i find in your comment is a whinning baby, who wanted a 2GB RAMed NEXUS 4 but is satiated with a cheaper toy. next time buy a device after saving enough money and TRYING the phone in a shop or following reviews. For me XPERIA mini pro is apex of SONY Design team efforts. A complete package covering call making>full sized keyboard>display>camera>sound>speake­rs unparalled.Empty ram is rubbish ram, the more CPU uses the better. Am running my XPERIA MINI PRO on Gingerbread try downgrading from ICS and you shall never complain of sluggishness in UI transition or gaming. The camera in MINI pro is way better than exmor capable ones, with very less noise in dark. Try manually adjusting the settings scene-wise, disable the auto scene. or download HDR camera apps from market. taking pics in dark is taking pics in dark never equal to those in bright light. Buy a cybershot!

  • This phone sucks big time! I friggin hate this phone...got it almost a year back.,n here's my review about the fone: Pro's: not much at its price range but I feel its screen graphics are really cool n um fan of its bravia engine. Cons: 1. POOREST BATTERY EVER....im js like normal teenagers n always connected to internet. its battery drains too fast..I only get 3.5-4 hours...this is ridiculous...I have to keep it plugged with charger 24*7...this is hell...now I have got a substitute fone also, in case of emergency! 2. LOW RAM....though they say it has got 512MB RAM but that's not the case...it has only 200Mb...even worse my fone is year old now it shows only 50MB left...now I cant do multi tasking..this thing frustrates me alot...seems I have to format it...but the data will get erased...:(...hell with it..:x 3. Camera is also poor...shoots some nice pics outdoor but if light is lil dim it seems pics are shot by 1mp camera...I give it 1.5star out of 5. 4. internal memory is 400mb...that's not sufficient for android because some apps cant be transferred to memory card..so 400mb is not enough! 5. there's some kinda lid or somethin which u have to open n then you plug it with the charger...but after a year use that lid is torn out now....n to open that thing relli makes me cry :'( ...what the hell is that Sony??????? I mean what were they thinking when they made this fone! PLEASE DONT BUY THIS FONE...IT REALLY SUCKS!! P.S: I'M. A SONY FAN.. UM INTENDING TO BUY XPERIA Z, HOPEFULLY , n get rid of this mini pro thing.... THIS FONE SUCKS DNT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON IT! Regards!

  • ¡¡¡Excelente teléfono!!!

  • a quick question to those with rooting and flashing roms experience, hopefully some kind soul would answer: I have a mini pro, bought it used, it is already rooted and is flashed to an "xperia s rom" in gingerbread version I have no rooting and modding and flashing custom rom experience, but am very interested in updating the camera with this mod: ^upon reading the mod, it says that I need to be on ICS in order for me to have this mod so basically I was wondering, since I needed to upgrade my gingerbread "xperia s rom" to an ICS one should I; 1.download and flash the phone with an official gingerbread firmware then just upgrade from there? 2. Or Can I just straight out..download a custom rom with ICS as its main O.S. version then flash it straight from my gingerbread using xperia s custom rom? 3. I understand that upon flashing any roms...you lose your root...unless you flash a rom that is rooted already by default(?) 4. If I can just flash any custom roms made for the xperia mini pro, regardless of its O.S. version....thatll be great HOHOHO! 5. how can I make this safe? Can I just rely on titanium backup? or do I need to have other apps as backups? thanks in advance cheers! ^_^

  • still other problems will persist... :-/

  • try jetaudio basic or the full version bro........best app for music

  • frustrated...really frustrated.. ever since I upgrade my phone to ICS, some apps are not working well.. I have downloaded N7player, fusion player, xplaye music player and maven player. but none of the above players equilizers are working. opera mini dont go in background mode, I have to reopen the pages again., cant download videos from tubemate in background, I have to wait untill it finishes the download and then do my other stuffs on phone. download gets stop once I press home button. is it relates to to thing like rooted or unrooted phone? whats wrong with my phone .. plz guys help me out....

  • @Latif: To check if you are on latest ICS update, compare the firmware installed with those on XDA dev site, usually the custom rom developers prefer the latest releases, hence compare phone's firmware with the latest builds. As for repairing with PC Companion, it downloads FULL firmware (latest built regionally) not just OTA update and installs it on the phone as factory clean, hence less issues.

  • Help! Help!! Help!!! There were two options on the two sides of the bar normally used to receive a phone call(i) receive button & (ii) sound on/off button. Now after upgrade the ICS from GB to IS, I have noticed that sound on/off button is replace by camera button. Friends, is there any option to reform it as it was before. Thanks in advance.

  • Can anyone help me? My ICS update is lagy and buggy.I read many comments about bug fix ICS update. how to get the bug fix update? and how do I know its bug fix update? Is it entitled 'BUG FIX ICS UPDATE'? pls help me out

  • Thanks. That was my biggest worry. I'm gng for mini pro.

  • Net work proplem

  • Go to Power save mode settings and check them. May be that you did set a brightness level of 0% for the screen when the battery is 20% and you think that your phone is shutting down. I don't have this issue.

  • 1. Mine has no prob with the physical keypad; 2. Do the update to ICS, but afterwards do the repair from PC Companion - it works far better with the ICS; 3. It's the best phone in the price range and maybe more than that; 4. Keep your display brightness at 60% (anyway 100% is recommended for outdoor in the summer) - you'll see that the battery will be OK; 5. Enable xLOUD for sound; 6. Shut down the phone and restart it from time to time - closes the processes cached in memory. Have a nice day!

  • Does the physical keypad stop working after some days. say 6 months. Pls rply me. I'm planning to buy mini pro. If so I'll buy mini.

  • that's a lie. i have this phone for almost a year now (just one more week to go to 1year). The image produced after ics update just got a lot better, and the phone got a lot smoother after the second ICS update (the ICS bugfix). The call quality is way better than my good old samsung. and goodness, where do you get HD video recording and playback in this price range and in this phone size? Don't you have taste? my only complain is the battery, just like everyone else but IMO, battery state in ICS of this phone is like gingerbread with Juice Defender installed.

  • Hi Friends, Please advise me how to sychronise my phone book oh this phone to my laptops nmicroaoft outlook to crate a back up. I am able to do it with my htc Windows phone but not with this one. Please help me....

  • Get rooted your smartphone, visit Note: This can't make sure your smartphone will be safe or not. Do this will be your responsibility yourself

  • can any one tell me about the battery back up ...stand by time , talk time and music play back time plz....

  • I don't think so. Until now my phone performance with ICS 4.04 and 4.1.B.0.587 is good and fast

  • I have been using this phone for 1 yr now.the battery backup was not very good but it was manageable but from the last few days my phone is getting switched off when the battery gets less than 20%.has anyone else faced this problem?guys do you have a solution for this?

  • these is very nice phone and fast too ....but battery life time isnt good

  • oh thanx buddy.yeah it works with another sim.thanx 4 ur kindness :-)

  • Try with other sim card from different carrier because I think this is something to do with carriers and how they handle the way that their service works.

  • hey guys pls help me.i cnt receive any calls when I m connected to the internet.when data traffic is disabled it works properly.wht should I do?pls help.thanx..

  • In reply to una @ 2013-01-01 06:15 from v0qT Make sure your network operator is not problem in the coverage.

  • i've done everything but i still cant access the internet. please help.. :(

  • And 4.0 is best suited for this phone

  • This phone is the best among the phone I've ever used. But it's a little thick than you think and it's kinda heavy too but not too heavy. So far So good except the fact that it can't be upgraded to Android 4.0 'cuz it will crashed the phone, trust me 'cuz I've tried and then I've to downgraded it back to Android 2.3 to make it right. hope that would help you dude.

  • just go for it :-)

  • I am using this phn 4 almost a year.I have downloaded & updated many apps from google play.But for last few months I could not download or update any apps from google play although I have 1gb net package ,both google talk & gmail signed in.what's wrong?some times it works but most of the time it doesn't work.My OS version 2.3.4.Can any one give solution?

  • nic one

  • Why would you spend a month's salary on a phone? Don't you think you should fulfill your other responsibilities first?

  • Hi friends plz tell me tha real experience of mini pro because i m going to puchase my the hole month salary ... it as a very big amount form me to expend on a mobile ... so plz help me ... to buy this mobile it is a good choice of me or not

  • I wanna buy this phone i think it's a great phone but the stock in indonesia already empty

  • If you have tons of photos (and videos) in your phone then don't use the preinstalled gallery to show them all, it'll work really slow. Make it only able to show your favorit pics by adding .nomedia file in the folder to prevent the gallery displaying the files in it. Then install QuickPick gallery viewer from Play Store to show all of your photos.

  • I thought about getting this phone. What do you mean by if you got a Sony instead of a Sony Ericsson. What's the difference? Why can you upgrade one and not the other?

  • its a joy to use this set.but i hate the battery life.it sucks.and if i download any image or video,the gallery hangs.it doesnt open untill i delete those photos using my pc

  • excellent phone to use.but phone is getting slow sometimes.if you are a heavy net user, don't buy this phone because battery is F**k

  • how many hours did batry respond....

  • it was a good hp but the battery is not to good.. other than that its ok...

  • all the options are best, except internal memory and mobile batery charge

  • Please tell me some websites 2 download games for this super phn.

  • Please tell me website 2 download games.

  • The stock sony ICS update sucks.. Rooted mine and flashed CM9, works flawless except for the FM-radio.

  • Is there anybody who has updated to ICS & then Downgraded and rooted ur amini pro using flash tool? how is your experience of a rooted phn? Recently updated. but the update is causing lots of trouble. i've arranged everything such as flashtool and GB rom.Should I? Dont wanna b disappointed this time

  • yes u can get skype video call.

  • the physical keypad just stopped working...:-/ it was working great up untill 3 months...

  • Xperia mini pro has video call camera, I think it would be usefull. Try it on Skype. :-)

  • can i get skype video calls with xperia mini pro?

  • Could be the problem with home screen. If problem occurs press menu button and tap system settings, then pull down the notification tray from there.

  • For me it is a fab handset in such a cost. All the apps work very smoothly. It has an Xellent touch quality. It has a problem with its battery but its qualities overlook its drawbacks...

  • I am facing a problem. The touch screen of notification bar area doesn't work. So, I couldn't pull down the bar. But, sometimes it seems OK. Otherwise it's great....

  • Well it looks like a pretty nice smartphone. As my budget is limited and I don't have much time, I'm looking forward to buy this :)

  • Yes it is. Will work with Almost all apps on Google Play Store. It's coming with Android 2.3.x but Sony having a ICS Android 4.0.x uppgrade. Though the keyboard is just a gimmick, high class and all. but too small. Wished I had gone with, the non keyboard model Xperia Mini. But both the Mini's are great phones.

  • is this a good smart phone

  • Even im havin same probs nd strip nt available in market did u manage to get it and at wht cost

  • heavy weight

  • good wen using for d first time but battery backup is d worst thng in ds handset,,,,,.

  • Its sony mini,but its rock than iphone mini.

  • main problem display strip goes off aftr one year

  • Very hard ifwe use the smartphone frequently, since average of smartphones have battery drain faster.

  • FYI, 3G is a cellular network standard which supports data transfer (connection) speed above 384 kbps. Mini pro is a HSPA capable smartphone (usually dubbed as 3.5G) that uses HSDPA as 3G mobile protocol with down-link speeds up to 7.2 mbps. Video call is a call feature supported by a 3G cellular network, this feature natively is not supported by android os, the android os only support video chat using data connection instead of cellular connection by using dedicated applications like skype. Eventhough the mini pro HAS front facing camera, it doesn't have capability to make video call.

  • I really like this phone.bt battery doesn't even stand for 1 day...........:( how can I solve this??????????

  • Look the tutorial here: Hope this will help. :-)

  • can I know, Xperia SK17i have 3G or not? And how to used it because did'nt have video calling.?

  • Can I know, Xperia SK17i .. Have a 3G or not?

  • restore to factory settings. (in the settings)

  • I updated ics. bt I like gb than ics. so how can install gb again?

  • not slow phone speed. you can update ics connet your phone on your pc and then u intall pc compatition. for install pc compation you should active 'install pc compation' having setting in your phone. after install pc compatition on your pc sellect the pc compatition then update phone softwere.

  • I have this phone for 1 year. Upgraded to latest Android 4.0.4 (ICS) and anything in this phone Improved! and...Just I can say: Best Performance/Price.....!!! You can't find any phone with these specifications in this price range!

  • How is battery life of this phone if GPRS is active 24 hrs. ?

  • Never update. ICS doesnt support flashplayer.HD games will be very laggy.battery life totally depends on your usage.It reqires more than 200MB to update.After updating u will be vry muck displeased.

  • can anyone please tell me what is the download size of ics update for this phone? And, reading previous comments it seems the phone will become slow after the update, how much it will be and will the battery life increase?

  • this phone rules

  • i bought it on 24-11-2011..one year ago.never had any problem on 2.3.4 instead the first ics update was buggy,automatically restarts my phone twice a day.but the new update is good. i regret to be the owner of this phone. i curse that i bought this phone at wrong time.. trust me if you could have bought a sony phone instead of sony ericsson you may be able to receive the 4.1 upgrade too.

  • may be.....the sony developers are working to develop their own flash tool,its already available for arc,arc s

  • Is there any way to enable FlashPlayer on ICS?

  • Bought it 4 months ago and I completely DISLIKE it, because it FREEZES a lot of times with no reason. The call sound is distorted, can't hear well ppl whom I talk with unlike my previous samsung. Camera quality is less than what it says. Video quality is a DISASTER. Do not recommend anyone to get it.

  • Read this Download ftf Gingerbread file for Xperia mini pro, install Flashtool Xperia on PC then connect your Xperia mini pro with USB cable to PC.

  • how did you downgrade it? pls help me. Flashplayer,youtube is not working with ICS. feeling vry disappointed.pls pls reply.

  • Never Update to ICS.It will make ur phn laggy and buggy.flashPlayer and wifi is not working.V-2.3.4 is enough.feeling very disappointed.downgrade to 2.3 will void my warranty which I always ignored.Ugly Update.Hate it hate it hate it

  • The price of Xperia mini pro? It is about for $180 in my country.

  • Do not update to ICS. It will- 1.make the browsers scroll very lagy and disgusting 2.make the phn lagy and it will hang and hang 3.make the typing slow. 4.make the games work slow. GB is better than ICS in this phone. If you want to taste ICS, then get the preinstalled ones

  • iam fully satisfied with the mobile but after updated to icecream sandwidch(v4) iam not satisfied. so my advise is to you is just satisfy with default os

  • Updated to ICS with pc companion. I think GB is better. Now. my phn has become a bit laggy. I want my gb back .Bt how to?

  • I am sure Xperia mini pro can play HD games. I use Xperia mini, my experience using this Xperia mini with Ice Cream Sandwich OS, it rather slow, game Eternal Legacy didn't work. The good from Ice Cream Sandwich are the display, very good, new preinstalled themes, Bluetooth discoverable can be made for permanent, added data monitor (not application), the native browser is good, can exit by tapping the close icon on the right top. Should you update it or not I would say, that's depend on you.

  • That's depend on your internet connection there. I updated my Xperia mini (not mini pro) took about 30 minutes more for downloading the firmware, while transferring the firmware to the smartphone was less than 12 minutes.

  • In reply to Anonymous @ 2012-12-09 13:53 from 2CYB That's depend on your internet connection there. I updated my Xperia mini (not mini pro) took about 30 minutes more for downloading the firmware, while transferring the firmware to the smartphone was less than 12 minutes.

  • Very job

  • Is V4 good for playing HD games? whats new inIcS?should I update 2 ICS? Pls reply

  • Both of them almost have the same specification. For gaming, the higher resolution of the screen are more compatible for many games.

  • another way to update your android os is using flashtool by androxyde and download a ftf version of the latest ics

  • How much time it will take to update my phone from 2.3 to V4? Ive marked INSTALL PC COMPANION & AUTOMATICALLY UPDATE but no response. waiting 4 over 30 minutes. will it give me any confirmation messages? What else I should do? My Phn did not show me any software update notification but m trying to update.pls help!!!!!!

  • Pls help me I want to update my phone to V4.Ive marked INSTALL PC COMPANION & marked Auto Update. Waited 30to 40 minutes. all the apps in SD r not working. How much time it will take to update? will it give me any confirmation message? Pls help!!!!!!!!

  • 1.They both have almost the same specs,like 1 ghz cpu,adreno 205 gpu .Because they have the same gpu,gaming performane is better in xperia mini pro,as the resolution is lower.But xperia pro has 8 mp camera with exmor r sensor,480 x 854 resolution,office suit pro for editing(mini pro only can view document)and wisepilot full navigation lisence(market dependant). 2.I think it can. 3.xperia pro don't have four shortcut lie xmp.

  • I am in confusion with few question.... Plz clear. Its for Xperia Pro and Xperia Mini Pro *is XMP has "all most" same feature & preformance as Xperia pro has? *can i play same game in xmp which i play in xperia pro? (screen size and battery back up isnt matter) *is xperia pro has four corner shortcut like XMP in homepage?

  • How can I re-show the memory card

  • I can't play WMA media file on my Xperia pro

  • The USB cover is indeed troublesome, esspecially when you have short nails. The bottom part of the cover holds the pinboard so tight, that's why sometimes it's hard to open the USB port. I've done some modification on it. I reshaped the bottom part of the cover with a cutter and a heated needle. Now it's easy to open the cover, yet still it wont accidentally open by itself. But if you wanna do this, please be careful. This action is not undoable.

  • How to use this phone as a modem in pc via USB or BLUETOOTH ?

  • i've already been using this phone for almost 2 years, everything's fine, just that i don't use the qwerty pad too much, good camera, wifi and stuff, a bit bulky cuz of the extra pad, i wish i had bought the other version with no pad instead...hehe

  • hi guyzzzzzzzz..i want 2 buy thiz fone.shall i buy or not...plzz comments

  • Yes, it is available.

  • is vdo calling available in xmp?

  • i have this phone for half an year and i am more than satisfied with it. I had before a Nokia xpress 5800. Is a huge difference. Something between Trabant and Audi. Indeed, the plastic cover for the charging microusb was that annoying, that i finally cut it out. Now is perfect. I wanna recommend an action to the ones who feel that this device is not working as it should. DO THE REPAIR ACTION, EVEN AFTER THE UPDATE (GB TO ICS)!!! Is very important to do it. Otherwis i haven't tried yet to root my phone, but who knows? I'm waiting for the Jellybean update, hope it'll be available for Xperia mini pro. Anyway this is the best phone regarding design and (technical specification/price) ratio. The physical keyboard is the best i ever seen. Pls, keep in mind that i was a Nokia fun. But Nokia lost this battle in the moment they chose to use that shitty Symbian OS.

  • To easily open the usb cover, I remove the battery cover then open the usb cover.

  • 320 x 480

  • (In reply to Pooh Flower..)

  • Unfortunately java apps don't get support by this phone since there's no J2ME emulator available for android 2.2 and beyond. Btw what kind of java games you want to play on, since most of android games are basically the improved version of the ancient java's. And don't worry about the game resolution, android os provides screen emulator which capable to remodeling every supported apps to fit the screen revolution during installation.

  • then if i want to play java game, which resolution should i download?

  • Why confused, both informations are correct and identical. The bigger number determines the longer side of the screen and vice versa. Depends on how you hold the phone: when you're holding it vertically the resolution must be 320x480, slide the keyboard out and it changes automatically to 480x320.

  • Yes, all mini pro(s) have the same specs in any places they are being marketed, and will still be after received os update.

  • anyone can tell me xmp's resulation? Here its 320 x 480 pixels but in sonymobile speci, its 480 x 320 pixels

  • I also have the same problem too. I just leave it loose not totally locked so that i can pull it easily. My xmp is about 6 months old and i really love it.

  • Ya..same here...very disturbing point...:(

  • Thanks...but it means i have the same specifications which is in this page??? 512MB RAM, 420MB Memory? Sorry i donot know about it lot..thats why asking.Again Thanks.

  • gud phone

  • which do you think is better, the Xperia mini or the Xperia go??

  • This is an good mobile on this price range and the performance is good, only problem is the internet speed in 2g.

  • satisfied wid this gadget. upgraded it from gb to ics but soon downgraded to .42 fw so that I can root my fone. got it rooted and now it works like a charm. removed all the unnecessary built in apps and using avast firewall to get control over network traffic....now my batt life has increased dramatically !!! quite happpy wid it.

  • yes buddy. my friend chopped it off from the phone cos it was annoying.

  • Does anybody else have issues with the USB connector cover?? I find it hard to remove for connecting a cable & it really drives me crazy that I have to use slim objects like the edge of plastic cards to open the cover! There is just not enough hole for the fingernails to penetrate through the cover and open it.. I just wished it can somehow be removed without damaging the phone. Im already at the point of cutting it off but Im afraid the inner plastic would fall into the internals & cause harm to the inside... Blargh Im just annoyed with this design of Sony :@

  • Like ROM, RAM has been partitioned as well into 2 separated sections: a certain amount of RAM is reserved for phone system which is not accessible for user, and the rest of it that you can see at memory usage remains for linux environment. Using higher specs of hardware needs more RAM for system, hence smaller amount of it remains for user. For example mini pro has 343 MB memory (for user) while tipo has 412 MB because mini pro use Adreno 205 gpu which can transfer graphical information larger and faster than Adreno 200 used by tipo. More powerful gpu needs more memory to run.

  • Thanks

  • settings> location and security >set up screen lock>pin...Done!!!

  • My Phones RAM is not 512MB. What about yours friend??? plz let me know.

  • how to lock keypad and touch screen with security code in xmp like nokia security keypad lock?

  • I bought SK17i in Dubai, was working fine with skype video calls from UAE-Etisalt broadband Connection to India-BSNL broadband connection. I sent this phone to India and my home people trying to make some skype video calls to me is not showing any video ( the it swirls), but voice call is working fine, where us the same handset is showing video on Skype with other computer over there in India. What may be the reason I am (in Dubai) not getting video from India ?

  • ifthe game ask for A nvidia video card or a powervr no i have played gta3, shadowgun, real racing 2 and some others with good results if you plan on seriously play games in it, it is not the ideal phone it is better to have a 4" screen phone

  • can i play HD games like DEAD trigger and other hd games???

  • Looks like a nice one. But from my point of view, sony is always the best.

  • in the box it should say that also in the label where the imei is it should say what phone is if i or a but remember that if you get the wrong one you will still have 2.5g that is not bad at all, enoug for basic stuff

  • Does the qwerty keypad fade on this thing?

  • Thx for your reply..I will consider it..

  • i have upgraded mine to ICS. so far i experience no bugs, except for the LED. the LED light no longer works except for incoming calls. otherwise, it's worth to upgrade to ICS. faster and more space of user memory. battery's about 1% drains faster than GB, so not that much of difference.

  • for video call you have to download software Tango

  • Your phone seems to be having the same problem as mine .. Its screen is partcially damaged causing the charging port and camera button to malfunction ..i suggest you swap phone wit another person before the phone bcomes like mine-unable to function properly .. Rebooting the phone does help though .but how long are u going to keep doing it ..currently sold dat minipro and got an xperia advance ..am loving it , its water resistant two ..

  • Does anyones display slightly flicker. I just noticed mine does....but its only easy to notice when the brightness is turned right down. It might be as I dropped it recently. It seems to mostly flicker when online.

  • i'm using the phone for over a year now, it's great just faced some problems like lagging when i don't reboot every week, i sometimes forget about the rebooting but when i reboot miracles happen. ice cream sandwich made a great difference to the phone, more apps and functionality, just the lagging especially with the back button. maybe it lags with me 'cause i drop it every now and then but in general it's a kick ass i can say that :)

  • Does camera360 apps can be download in xperia mini pro ?

  • I can understand ur budget gng by ur choices, among these 3, Ray wud be the better choice. Pro mini has a smaller screen, don't go for it unless keypad is a must for u. If u can extend ur budget further, get a Sola. It's features are much advanced than these. I use a pro (sk16i) n feel the RAM n internal memory are a bit low.

  • I have been using the phone for a year now. The touch screen panel have been changed thrice!!! The software was fantastic but the hardware is a big pain. Dont go for Sony! It will only look good but will not last.

  • little improvement in camera pic quality is needed and dis will be d hit one.its hd bt doesn't feel sooo...

  • Hi i am using this phone for almost a year now, and i tell you this one's a very sturdy and well built phone, it may have issues on ram though but with this price range this the best phone you can get. The batttery is okay, i always use wifi like half a day and only have to charge it by night not to mention playing games all day, now dont get me wrong cause in my experience w/ smartphones all batteries are easily drained when used. Now the apps, ohmygawd its so empressive! I can play heavy games like gta3, deadspace, mass effect and other games as such without lag! The slide keyboard is fine even though its been almost a year its still sturdy and no problem at all, my phone fell down almost every month, get smashed by me when sleeping almost every night, since i sleep with my phone, hehe, and still no problem at all! So i advice everyone who is on a tight budget but wanted a very good performance phone i suggest you buy this one, its all good and amazing for a little phone :-)

  • Been using this phone for almost four months now and I should say, it is A great phone. I'm actually surprised people are ignoring this phone when it is one of the best phone in the market, feature-wise, especially to those who are having a hard time using the screen keyboards. There were times when it lagged but the upgrade to 4.0 then to 4.1 changed it.

  • I upgrade to ics and the performance is same like gb...but the UI is very beautiful..

  • this phone is nice..ics is very very good...no lag at all..but I factory reset and reset my sd before upgrade...but I dont try to play hd game beacause its hard to play in 3 inc screen...but if you have more budget dont go to xperia neo v..go for xperia sola..because i use xperia sola before..it very fast compare to this phone and not to big

  • Hllw!!!I want to buy XMP...does it cause any problem on updating to ICS or upgrating the os version ...if so hw to avoid those problems....please any one help me,i luv the phone by its specification..please advice me abut it..

  • my bttry z dead n it kips on restarting

  • Did you check by switching to 2G?

  • this xperia mini pro not good cause andoid ver not gud and charge back up not good...

  • Excellent phone...Camera is too good...It fells down many times but still its working perfectly

  • In addition to switching on bluetooth,you need to make your device discoverable.Check under bluetooth settings and tick that option.

  • I have been using quite some time. Good Job Sony! It fell down many times still work great. Camera goes on and on.... Best in it class.

  • Yes feels as new after 9 months. Bought this last January and the flex still kicks and snaps just like before.

  • Check out may be your bluetooth is Off.

  • Is nimbuzz call supports from sony xperia mini pro...plz let me know

  • my bluetooth is not pairing

  • my bluetooth is not pairing

  • Thanks for warning. Was just about to upgrade to 4.1 version and luckily first have come here and I see a lot of unsatisfying users.

  • shell i use CA-157 cable for xperia mini pro????? if it is possible then tell me the process.....................

  • Don't update to jelly bean,it may slower your phone.and the cam.quality w'll get low..

  • try it using Ics..

  • No this is not. It was X10 mini pro. The home buttons are different and can be easily distinguished.

  • how about the flex?is this tough enough?

  • yes. it's sk17i, aka xperia mini pro. take a look at the home button. please.

  • try to repair your phone with pc companion...i think the keys dont work after pressing the shift button....may be you get the wrong layout of your keyboard in ur update...

  • updated ics on air.but not working keybort some key what i do.plz

  • no. Peter Parker's phone was Xperia X10 mini pro.

  • the main bug come with this update is led issue.led stop working,and only blinks for call,no sms no other app.i also dont like the display setting of ics update..phone become more difficult to controle..many apps added which you dont want to have..but phone performance increases.no lagging...but for me i just downgrade it to gingerbread after the update..ics is quite good but i dont like it....so only try if you just want to give it a try...

  • You can always choose another phone like Xperia pro, it's almost the same but with a 3.7 inch screen

  • truly a great phone to have..bravia engine makes d phone videos to play at superb clarity...has been using since Sep 2011...no probs yet....had upgraded to ICS but gameplay was not smooth...so switched back to GB again...heard that there is a bug fix update...thinking of trying it..

  • Peter Parker�s phone, helping him nail criminals.

  • there is a white area on the top left side of my screen from the first day of buying. it is visible only when it is seen from the angle. what's the problem?

  • awesome phone.. no problems at all.. awesome screen quality

  • The first one is the Build number version (firmware version) of android ice cream sandwich os that currently running on your phone (see Settings - About phone). The android ice cream sandwich itself is the nick of android version 4.0.3 or 4.04 (see Android version under About phone). And Jelly Bean is the next version (android version 4.1.x) and Sony has said that they currently dont have a plan to update this phone to this version.

  • thanks for the info. what the different between 4.1.b.0.587 and jelly bean? so now are safe for me to update my phone?

  • OS type is V2.3 upgradable to v4.0 (ice Cream Sandwhich), by upgrading this into v4.0, what would be the possible negative issue with this?

  • Been using this awesome thing for 4 months now and no major problems to date..However, there are two little things that bother me;the battery span and picture quality. The camera is not the best 5mp camera I've ever used. As an example, I used Vivaz Pro before and I dare to say that its camera snaps better quality pics than this little wonder. But all and all, I am loving this phone as the pros outweigh the cons. The resolution, speed, look and feel. Plus, it can do the same things the more expensive HP can do. The best phone ever in its category, certainly. I have no regret at all for choosing this over Galaxy Y or Ace. 4.5/5 stars!! Sidenote: I am thinking of upgrading the software to ICS but after looking at all these negative comments about ICS on Xperia Mini Pro, I am holding that thought for now..Is it safe yet to upgrade?

  • It's NOT Jelly Bean, 4.1.B.0.587 or 4.1.B.0.431 are compilation numbers,but the Android version is Ice Cream Sandwich. These models will not be upgraded to Jelly Bean.

  • I just use this phone about 4 month, and now i get notification from sony to update system to 4.1.B or android jelly bean. I just want to know, whether this jelly bean stable for xperia mini pro

  • help. my xloud is not working

  • You can't! And you can blame Google - not Sony for not providing native support to 3G video calling on android frameworks

  • jst take it to the service centre

  • Good day! My phone is already notifying me about the new ICS update (the bugfix one) and it says I need PC companion but Sony said you only need PC companion when your still in Gingerbread. I'm already in ICS and the bugfix update is only 0.1MB. Anyone here who already updated their mini pro to .587 or the bug fix update?

  • 340MB is the user-accessible RAM. The remaining of the 512MB is used by the Android operating system itself. That means only 340MB of RAM is all that you can use for your applications to run, be it multi tasking or not. Usually in my experience background apps start to be suspended by the system when you have at least 3-4 active apps, including foreground app. Background app suspension is done to reserve RAM space for the foreground app.

  • yes 512mb ram is shared for video ram....thats why we can see 340 mb.which mean 172mb (512mb-340mb=172mb) is shared for video ram.................

  • How to make 3g carrier based video call from this phone?i am not referring to voip based calls.

  • it's said that has RAM 512mb. But i checked my phone only 340mb. How to make it to 512mb? Any application or solution? Please help.

  • My unit SK17a still hasn't got ICS update. SI 1251-9443. Any idea?

  • After a month i bought it the back button has broblem!! while i am playing games the game stops again and again because of the back button(and i dont touch it while i am playng) PLEASE HELP ME!!!!

  • Screen is only half VGA resolution, video watching ok but not the best! there are better phones if you want to watch videos,music,etc, go for Sony xperia NEO or ARC.

  • press and HOLD volume down and power button at the same time.

  • When image stabiliser is turned on, 26 to 29 fps since the ICS update. It staggers sometimes. During gingerbread, 29fps was maintained. These infos are at least what were displayed on the properties in my PC.

  • This phone are allright but one problem here its display are small.

  • my phone can play gta 3 and real racing 2 for 3 hours before reaching 15% warning, your phone has problems, apply warranty

  • 29.97 fps

  • Can´t confirm the problems mentioned above. The overall handling may have become a little slow, otherwise the actual build is giving me no headache. Still one of the best "SMALL" cells around - if you dont want a tablet size cell in your pocket. Using it for all-day needs, including app development for robot control.

  • horrible- after the last update build.587 oh my god made the cell piece of crap. wifi is not working gmail is not working, repaired through pc companion 2 times but same result. i wanna roll back to old gingerbread please someone help me........please no one update the os....please....

  • The touch stopped working just after my warranty period got over although the phone worked marvelously up till then.

  • My Mini Pro can stay up for about 1.5 day on a single charge and moderate usage. There must be something wrong with your device.

  • Sony Ericsson must be very insane for putting such a small battery in this phone.....my battery decreases by 1% every minute smmmhhh...just bought a new battery but still the problem still persists ....I will advise you ot to buy this phone ..iI can't even get ...1h.r:30mins of continuous usage on this shit...

  • hw long z da battry lyf????? specially wen i use 3g!!????

  • ace is nothing in front of mini pro..

  • this is the best phone in the market with low price range.....i love it//..though SE needs to work more on the update...fix led bug..

  • This is the best phone I've ever had, though it's my first smart phone and an Adroid too, no regretes. Speed is so fast every thing is nice and smooth in terms of performance. And if it crushes, caused by poor application, it dedects it instantly and promts you what to do. Love to camera and superb video recording. Even though it has a qwerty keypad, the smart keypad is just as good. I now have the best Phone in the company and people ask to play or browse, or just to look at my phone. Sound is awesome too, nice and loud. This is one phone I'd recommend to friends, and I do that to anyone looking for one. I even bought one for my wife. We love it so much. And thank you gsmarena for you site, it was this very site that pointed me to this lovely super phone during my reserch for the perfect Android phone.

  • 15,000 bdt in bangladesh. (gadget and gear) everything ok except horrible battery life. Keep wifi bt and 3g(unles u dnt use 2g) turnd off. Also reduce brightness. !! And most importantly, never update os. If u r a advanced user(who loves to experiment rathar than day 2 day use) only then update.

  • I also think key pad is too small ..solved problem bought xperia pro mk16a...great phone and not to big and clumsy either

  • I dont have problem with the touch function, just remember to reboot and to clear the phone's cache periodically and that could prevent that problem. Mine is 13th months old now and still thinking that the only bad thing of this phone is the grainy photo results by the camera.

  • i've updated my mini pro to the latest ICS software.......i kinda felt that the music volume is greatly increased......(Android Version - 4.0.4)

  • Xperia mini pro is having better screen resolution,better camera, a secondary camera(for video calls), processor and Graphics processor (for gaming). Go for it if you are going to use these features. If you don't need them, better go for Galaxy Chat as it is giving good value for money.

  • Hello there, i juz upgraded my xmp to ics last week and based on what i've experienced until now, doesnt take up much space in the ram but the phone is performing slower den it used to be in GB, my advise, dun upgrade to ics and stay with GB, i'm regretted to have upgraded to ics.

  • I own this phone and a Samsung Galaxy Y Pro and I can tell you that the Xperia mini pro is a much better phone than that too.There's no better phone than the Xperia mini pro in it's price range.Battery is the only letdown,except if you don't browse much.

  • hi..how to upgrade the software of this phone?thanks..

  • can i ask you something, which one is better, samsung galaxy chat or xperia mini pro?? and why??

  • Initially performance is very good....but after 5/6 month the touch becomes faulty...I have seen four other cases & I am the fifth one.......so be careful about it.........

  • I am getting 2 day with moderate use

  • Is this a PS Certified phone? =/

  • Its a good phone for entertainment. But its not good for talking. You can hear clearly. But the other person can't hear your voice clearly if you don't hold your phone rightly because it is very small. Its not suitable for big face and for talking while laying down in bed. Other things are awsome. Sorry 4 my English.

  • some are claiming that upgrading to ics4 is causing the phone slower and grabing huge internal memory. Is it true? Plz reply from real experience.

  • Does anyone else have problems with the capasitive return button? In my XMP it works sometimes and sometimes not. The other capasitive one works as it should, but the return button doesn't react to the touch when I put my finger on it.

  • go to setting-apps-all-download manager(app) after clear the download manager cache memory and also clear play store cache memory

  • internal memory and ram are two different things, ram is for run apps, internal is to store those apps, you shouldn't store apps on the internal, move what you can to microsd

  • if you ask things already answered or things that nobody knows how to solve that is normal

  • unmount microsd and mount again, when you use anything different to edit, move or delete images not using that app, it gets lost easily if that doesn't help copy files out of the microsd card and delete the dcim folder, let phone recreate it and then copy again contents of that folder

  • Install QuickPic from google play.

  • yes if you upgrade ics 4.0 ice cream

  • dwnld sound recorder frm apps store, i did so

  • Battery life is a disaster. Lasts one day, or two if you do not use it much. The phone itself however is excellent. So a little hit to sony - who is managing the SE phone division today - improve the battery life to at least double what it is, and you have got a winner product.

  • well im using this since a month so far so good,no hickups what so ever.only thing is the battery dont last very long time.have to charge it every day.but overall I love this phone :-D

  • As far as I know, WhatsApp is available for most (if not all) smartphones out there. The difference here is that you can have the advantages of both touchscreen and physical keyboard for high speed messaging in one jeans-pocketable handset.

  • lww

  • Xperia mini pro or live with walkman ???

  • just remove/move all photos from sdcard. prolly one makes things crash. If not, try all graphic files, maybe put by some app. Formatting sdcard is easier/faster but you lose data.

  • You can get it at Slot in Lagos for N26500

  • It depeds how much you have free internal storage and ram memory. It also depends from the class your memory card is. The one small number on the car. If it's like 2 or 4 or. 6 or 8 or 10. The number means the mb speed the card can load up stuff in it. So the lower the number the slower the card and the slower the pictures get opened. The exact same thing as the internet speeds in the modems you pay for.

  • It sounds abit same as when my browser gets closed by it self. You could check how much freem ram memory you have. Because I have noticed that this little fella likes to run lots of apps in the background even when you have not started them.

  • As soon as i got i updated it to version 4. I am facing some basic issues but i do not know whether these are issues of version 4 or issues with the phone. Basically things are nice. Sleek and crispy. I have installed a lot of apps. However it fails to do what i require most.. call a number of search the address book fast... it takes time to respond and its very irritating when you are in a hurry. Also occasionally it hangs.. the touch stops responding and you have to restart... Basically i want my phone to work with the calls nifty and to search a contact should be a breeze... all the rest is the icing. But with this phone for me its only the icing.. :(

  • Hi I am using this phone for the last 2 months, Can any one help me, whenever I go to the gallery and open any picture my phone get hang and then its not shutting down I have to remove the battery and then its working again but I cannot even send picture to anyone using whatsapp also the same problem is coming.My memory card is 8gb and only 2 gb is hardly in use, please tell me is there any solution for hanging while you try to open any picture in the gallery?

The GPS satellite icon (in settings) is checkmarked,there is a clear visibility to the sky... PLEASE,what may be the problem?????????????

  • Hello! I am facing a problem while sending long text. Whenever i type a message it is converted into MMS. The message only consists of 90 to 100 words. Can anybody tell me how to fix it??

  • Thanks dude.. :) So do you mean I should go for mini pro if I'm a heavy spammer,right? Actually i'm currently using xperia x10 mini pro! And though I love my phone bt watching video is sumtimes troublesome! I want gud video quality wth no disruption,and gud battery backup! I am nt much into games! So fast net,and gud video quality is all what I need! Bt yes,as i'm already using x10mini so small size isnt an issue for me! So plz kindly suggest which one should I chose? :s P.s. Is Xperia ray too big in size? Coz I hate large phones..!!!

  • I was asking the same thing...If you don´t care about side and don´t write 2much sms, then Xperia Ray is what you need, the cameras is 8mp and has more quality than the mini pro...In my opinion Xperia Ray is still 2 big for my pocket, and the QWERT keyboard from the mini pro allow you to write more than 4 times faster than the Xperia (priceless)...The resolution is not optimal for Youtube in the mini but you can still play some games, probably for a stationary mobile at home Xperia look much better, is like notebook vs netbook discution...

  • well i say xperia ray is for pure entertainment....its higher ppi creates more crisp video,image output.it is slim and stylish too.8mp autofocus is also takes good pictures. xperia mini pro is affordable smartphone which can do all the things in xperia ray in slightly low specs(example:-low ppi,5mp auto focus camera ,1200mah battery=battery is enough if you use it correctly,it lasts average 2 days for me)the music quality playback is better than ray(i know this because one of my friends have a xperia ray) the BIGGEST difference between ray and xmp was the qwerty key pad.xmp is built for messaging,chat....etc .the qwerty key pad is awesome. easy to type fast . i hope this help.......

  • hii friends.. i want to buy a phone,but am confused..am not able to decide which one would b better among sony xperia ray or xperia mini pro..?? plzz someone help me..!! tell me which one should i go for?? plzz... n thanks in advance.. :)

  • THe phone accidently fall from my hand and broke and the corner.The service center guys are saying that they will replace it but will costr 12,500.Anyone faced same issue.

  • Even mine fall accidently and side got broken.Went to service center and they told that they will replace the front but have to pay 12,500.Let me know if any one has same experience

  • Ice-cream Sandwich is not good for xperia mini pro....

  • After much searching, I went out and bought the Sony Xperia mini pro and was not disappointed. It is an awesome phone in such a sleek little package. Magnificent features and looks great in white.

  • Don't buy this phone - great phone when it works - but.... 2months use and starts to die - vibrating and flashing - never been dropped, never been in in rain. Been used by someone confined to hospital bed and then at home - sony says phone has corrosion inside and warranty invalidated - never been in humid conditions never been in water or rain - never been dropped - has not one scratch on it - now says won't repair as warranty invalid - but nowhere on warranty supplied with phone does it state that phone used normally and never opened or interefered with invalidates warranty - warranty exclusion does not mention corrosion. We did not cause corrosion. These guys are not fair or honest.

  • This is the best phone I ever had! wish the internal emore was a bit larger though!

  • White is best.... i bought white and my friend bought black.. but white is better.. great looks from every angel....

  • i bought My SE Xperia Mini Pro 2 months ago... its the white one... i think white is better.. when its in sleep mode, the screen looks superb in white... this is great phone.... i love it so much.. great camera, pictures and videos... specially its BE works great,watching HD movie is awesome... its keyboard is great too.. love it....

  • white is beautiful : )

  • how to unlock bootloader and after that root my xperia mini pro... must reply

  • buy wotan server account and flash phone. I did it few months ago and everything is OK

  • i dont have any choice but to buy the white color.. is it good? pleaseee reply.. :D

  • It depends if you have a wireless connection(wlan) or mobile(3g). If you have wlan got to settings. Then to wireless networks. then tap the wlan. after that the wlan is on. Then you just go back to the main meny and click the browser on. If a 3g connection. Again the wireless networks from the settings. This time pic the phone networks down at the bottom. Then click the data stuff and the roaming data on.(the first 2 things on the menu). Also I recommend putting the phone networks to wcdma only and not the gsm and wcdma. The battery last longer that way in 3g mode. Then back to the main menu and to the browser.

  • Because of your phone does not support Android 4.1 version.

  • How to access the net ?

  • I've downloaded file manager to explore games *.apk files which I received from my pc than tried to open it but a message appeared to me saying "there is a problem parsing the package" .. what's the solution ? sorry for my English ..

  • The sony site shows the latest update is Latest available software: 4.1.B.0.587 Release date: 2012-08-16, but I am not getting it, and it shows that my phone is up to date , but he release number is earlier :( can somebody help

  • The Problem might be with the SD card. I had similar troubles which ended when I followed the advice of a shop clerk to replace the SD Card.

  • Can someone tell me if this phone is good with memory,storage and battery life

  • I had dropped the phone accidentally and the front cover got loose at a side....donno what awaiting in future......

  • Well someone may have said to take it to a sony service centre. My girlfriends arc says the same, and shes on GB......and im pretty sure its able to update. If its no big deal to you.....and I know this may sound odd, but maybe do a factory reset. The thing is I swear my xmp only had the option for pc, when I initially checked the daily notification I get ( of a new update is available). Personally I had a bug after using tubemate and tubegod, so I did a few FR'S to sort out the bug (they bugged you tube loading properly...making it unusable even after I removed the apps). It took a few goes, and like I said...i swear the notification did not offer FOTA. Its worth a shot if its no big deal.

  • It takes over 5minutes before my pictures appears when i try opening it.

  • Well even when i do go to the settings and check for updates, my phone claims to be up to date with the latest updates. I find it weird.

  • How could you not mention the xmp's HD camera. Its one of its best features imo.
