I've heard that sony ericsson phones have a feature called "auto-brightness" which causes the screen to flicker. And many of their phones dont have any option to turn-off this feature. Could anyone who owns xperia pro let me know if they're facing any screen-flickering issues and whether pro has a definite option to turn off "auto-brightness". Kindly help me out because I really really like this set but the only thing preventing me from buying this phone is this issue.

I've been reading this message board while waiting for this phone to release in India. I know that we're probably well past this point. But, I just wanted to thrown in my two cents worth in reviewing this phone.
Eight months of twiddling my thumbs and waiting for this phone has paid of very well. I've loved every minute of having it.
I'm pleasantly surprised, despite having all of the following phones in the family - Samsung Galaxy S2, HTC Desire Z, Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S. This one really kicks ass with, among other specs, the physical keyboard. The Desire Z is the only one that comes close in ease of use with its own keyboard. But, gets left way behind in screen quality, sound, camera, etc. And what an improvement the keyboard is over the poor experience I had with the Xperia X1!
Kudos to Sony for putting in the Arc S and Neo V upgrades into this phone also before actually releasing it. And, if they keep the software updates, especially the ICS update, keep coming smoothly, I don't see why I should need to change my phone for a very long time to come.
All in all, a very good buy for 24000.00. Those who must have a keyboard, look no further!

SE"Q=???, 25 Nov 2011Hi guys i have something to ask you what is the MAIN BROWSE... moreThe main browser is the Android Browser which is based on Webkit (Safari also based on Webkit). That isn't important though, as you can install any browser you like and make it the default.
I don't know for sure about the second question as I have not tried it, but I think you can do this. There is an "Accessibility" feature in the settings menu for reading text aloud.

i cant se any improvements in smoothness or performance with this update, rather getting less responsive during heavy use with lotsa open stuff.
Anyway, i watched stargate continuum in non-HD but high quality MKV video on my xperia pro earlier. I really wish SE would use better displays, this is way beyond the standards of 2011, and now we almost have 2012. Sux bigtime compared to SLCD on HTCs and the IPS display of LG Optimus 2x, the lack of contrast is depressing and the backlight bleed is very severe. Im now considering rooting my Desire Z, without the lags and bugs of HTC Sense it could be acceptable but that will still not make the keyboard as good as the xperia pro. Cant deicde wat to choose, good display or good keyboard.

AnonD-4340, 25 Nov 2011the gallery got weird after the update, and its not faster ... moreThe update definitely makes things smoother - it ain't placebo.
I don't have the problem you speak of with the Gallery. You can prevent the Gallery app from displaying pictures (or Music app from displaying sound files) in a particular directory by creating a .nomedia file in that directory.
Android is not "getting worse and worse" - au contraire. Sony Ericsson should keep Google's hipster kiddie coderz in check so that they don't just add new pointless features that don't work.
And NO, we don't need 1.4 GHz dual core phones because with updates like we are getting performance keeps increasing.

AnonD-4340, 25 Nov 2011the gallery got weird after the update, and its not faster ... moreoh, about last post, i took a new screenshot and now i can view the pics in Pictures again. But i swear it was the update that made this happen in the first place.
Why is android so full of bugs, so frequent new versions and it gets worse and worse? Reminds me of Ubuntu, so frequent new versions and at one popint it became the slowest most bloated OS available, plus it had lotsa bugs. Lets see eh, i think android is on its way, which is why we really need 1.4GHz dualcore phones.

Newtype , 24 Nov 20114.0.2.A.0.58 really tightens things up on the phone softwar... morethe gallery got weird after the update, and its not faster or smoother, i think u r experiencing a placebo effect, just like the android fanboys, they always post all over the web that its smoother everytime they upgrade.
remember when windows vista launched, people reported it was smooth and nice, it later got awarded to the worst product of the decade.
problem with my gallery after this update: Trying to view photos (screenshots) in "Pictures" i get photos from "download". In gallery view the thumbnails for Pictures is correct but tapping a photo brings up the last photo stored in download. Anyone else? Longpress powerbutton and choose Screenshot from the bottom option if your Pictures folder do not exist. Then go to gallery and try to view your new screenshot. Make sure your download folder is not empty as well, use the webbrowser and longpress a photo on the web to save it to download.

4.0.2.A.0.58 really tightens things up on the phone software-wise, as everything is much smoother. I too recommend people update their Pro if they've received the notification.
