Hey guys.
I thought it would be nice to have a list going :)


Safe to remove apps for Xperia mini Pro/Xperia mini:
Note: Uninstalling these apps seems to be safe, they might however still remove some functions or features.
It's recommended to backup these apps to SD first, using either Titanium backup or Super Manager

Method 2, using FlashTool:

Both methods are basiclly the same, though for some people one might work better. It works for all versions and all firmwares

How can I uninstall that? I don't have any "Uninstall" button in Applications :confused:

You need to root your phone using one of the mentioned methods.
Then use titanium backup or Super Manager to backup stuff you want to uninstall.
Super Manager for example has an inbuilt APK manager, you could uninstall everything you want.

Battery comes from 15% to 1% in a sec

I encounter a problem that whenever the battery comes at 15% it shows less than 1% battery is remaining & the phone tunrs off automatically & the same thing happens when charging. At that time the battery came from 1% to 16% in just a sec of charging..

So, please DOomLOrd check this issue....

Updated to 2.3.4 today and used DOomLOrd's solution to root the phone, after that Superuser always get a force close, I tried Root Uninstaller to get rid off appXtra, WhatsApp, Hot Shots.... but after every restart, those bloatwares show up again in my application list.

So can anybody tell me how to fix this please?

Did you root your phone? If so, install Battery calibration.

Quote from the description:
This program does it by removing the batterystats.bin system file. The OS generates a new clean batterystats file soon, thus any fake information from the previous ROM is removed

Did you try to remove Root using the uninstall batch file?
I'm still on 2.3.3 so i cant really help you here

    Yes i tried it a couple of times already but still the same... i also considered the SE update service but lucky me.. pc cant detect my phone... i think i also lost the apps for USB connectivity..

    ---------- Post added at 11:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:06 PM ----------


    is there a new update for the mini pro.. because what i remember i update it before i break it... too bad for if i have to wait for the next update..

    You may wish to manually choose your model with SEUS, and click on SK17i icon to start over with it. And good luck !!

    What I meant was,the shop from which I got told me I have a year warranty from Sony Ericsson..will that be voided if root my device?

    if I follow the steps mentioned in the link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1320350 what happens to the warranty?

    Ask the shop, we don't know. That info varies with different shops.
