I've always used a free program (for outlook sync) that has a build in screenshot feature, it's called MyPhoneExplorer, but i dunno for sure if this also works for unrooted phone (on the site it says it should).

Get flashtool and upgrade to 2.3.4 using the world generic firmware

I've found "Screenshot It" app... but I am rooted. There is a "no root" version as well.

[Q] Sony Arc S with ICS android 4.0.3. and Sony Smartwatch incompatible

Hi,
The smartwatch used to work perfectly on GB on Sony arc s, but
after the updating to ICS it does not work.
I downloaded the smartwatch app from store and connected with the watch and i see the list of apps like:
messaging
download it and install
email
download it and install
calendar reminder
download it and install
...
After the downloading it is still the same and does not work.
the watch says:
No applications active in Smartwatch
I have reset everything several times but this is the same...
The new events app can't switch on.... :S
Any Idea?
Thanks a lot in advance

no problems [=

thanks,
what are the version of your liveware and smartwatch apps?
Same problem, xperia ray with official stock ICS 4.0.3. Liveware manager version 3.2.7, if i try to upgrade to 3.2.8 I get the following error:
"Package file was not signed correctly. You will need to remove and reinstall the application to resolve this error."
Do you have smartwatch? Are u in the UK?
Sent from my LT18i using XDA
Yes, I have the smartwatch. I'm Italian.
What are the version of your liveware? 3.2.7 or 3.2.8?
And the watch is working for you?
I have the x.x.7 liveware and there is an update available on market which is the x.x.8 but I can't update it because of the error message what I have posted...
Sent from my LT18i using XDA
No, I have your same problem
So you can't use your watch can you?
Sent from my LT18i using XDA
I've always written on the screen "No applications active in Smartwatch"
yes, totally the same for me...
I hope the updating is on the way....
The reply of the Sony chat support:
"This issue is currently being investigated as it seems to be affecting a number of users at the moment. Unfortunately there is no way to overcome this currently but we should have a resolution in the near future."
I solved!!!!
The problem is the version of the liveware manager, 3.2.7 does not work.
I downloaded the 3.2.8 apk, replaced in system/app with rootexplorer (the smartphone must be root), rebooted and installed the new apk 3.2.8.
Very good, thank for sharing this info. Today I try to go to the Sony repair center and I'll inform you guys...

(Needed) Wifi kill for ICS - remotely disable wifi

Www.forums.ponury.net
It has an app wifi kill which can disable other's wifi connection to let you enjoy full bandwidth...
I was a regular user on my sensation (on GB) but now when i shifted to ICS, there are some shutdown problems related to OS i suppose...
Can someone re- code it for android 4.0.4 because the app developer stopped the further support on app

smart dialer from S?

Has anyone tried to install the smart dialer from Xperia S? I had it on my X10 and loved it.
What's the smart dialer? I Have an Xperia S but am not sure what you're referring to.
Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk 2
This would be great. I'm still very salty this doesn't work stock. So used to being able to just open phone and start dialing and have it auto populate a contact as u type.
Sent from my LT28at using xda app-developers app
Ah okay now I get what you mean. Once we get root we would probably be able to copy the dialer from the XS but as it is now we can't change the system apps without root.
I really enjoyed the xperia s dialer on my x10, kinda dumb that sony didn't include this with the ion. It's funny how the dialer also made the contact's list irrelevant since I could just type out the name on the dialer instead rather then going through the contact list
I was able to download the 2 apks (smartsearch and the dialer) and just overwrite the current phone app. no problems so far....
Uhm how did u overwrite system apps? And please share lol.

I just saved the apks to my sd card and clicked install (through androzip) and it asked if I wanted to replace the already existing phone app. I clicked yes and now I'm using the smart dialer

I installed phonebook first (replacing the current version) and then installed smartsearch
Would this replace infinity view?
Sent from my LT28at using xda premium
I'll confirm this worked great. It Simply just overwrote without any problems. The entire phonebook looks a bit different. And yes you still get infinite view.

Any one notice that it takes away the function of backing up or importing your contacts when you install this dialer?

Hi,
It's a great app, but it doesn't work in the Sony 2011 lineup. Sony disables wifi direct in the ICS ROMS so there is no option to turn it on
Custom Rom
Some mode
Any idea

It might be enabled in CM9 and CM10, seen as they are built from the original code and not using Sonys code as a base......
Anyone still on GB Or using CM
Give a try

hi mangemayur,
I'm WiFi Shoot developer, sorry to disappoint you, but if the market is not allowing you to download it's because it will not work on your device.
It's filtering to only allow on devices with ICS or up (it needs the ICS WiFi Direct APIs to work) and that do have WiFi direct (duh).
Without those APIs and hardware driver the app WILL fail. It's not a matter of giving a try, it will fail for sure!!
If some ROM developer built WiFi Direct on its ROM and the market still does not accept, you should complain with the developer as he did not properly declare the device capabilities for market access.
regards,
Budius

You can download flashtool and flash the 2.3.3 ftf. There's a 2.3.4 ftf as well but google sync is broken. If you don't care about gsync then go with it. Seqrch flashtool for 2011 xperia devices on here or on google. Then go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2184897 and look under ftfs for the one you want. Then shut down your phone hold the back button and plug in tge usb to cpu. Click on flash (af lightning bolt symbol in top left and choose the ftf. WARNING:THIS WILL WIPE ALL YOUR DATA AND SINCE YOU DONT WANT TO ROOT YOU CANT BACK THEM UP WITH TITANIUM BACKUP.

Thanx 4 help and so then best thing to do is just root it so I can backup and restore it.

I think you mean PC because every PC and smartphone needs a CPU to run....anyways if you don't have a PC your probably Sol unless your on froyo or low gingerbread then apps like z4root and ginger break may be able to root your phone
