Slideshow App

It's possible to make slideshow's on the android but sound is only linked to a single slide, awaiting an email reply about linking a track to the whole slideshow.

Pro hdr camera still takes awsome pics, and can process them, and then doesnt grow... but maybe not trying to take twenty pics at a time..

Take the pics a few at a time, wait for the processing (then they are in the hdr gallery as processed pics, otherwise the two or three pics to combine are in thumbnails) then clear the data before taking more pics
The quality is worth it.

Pro HDR camera

Still an app that bloats or grows on my phone and this time it wouldnt complete the processing...the only solution was to copy the pics to the computer with an sd card adapter...then in app management settings clear the app data...

Fun pics

The picsin kaleidoscope makes patterns and repeats them (picsin does lots of other fun editing stuff) toy kaleidoscope makes patterns from the camera pointing at objects (and other interesting patterns) and photofunia has lots templates you can add pics to. Make as many as you like...then try them in photo to lab for other super templates...hours of creative fun.

scary techi world...it looks (from the icons that turned up on.mi xperia arc) that when u update the software via wifi the old software gets uploaded an then the new downloaded...dont risk weak, dodgy signals...takes orange ages to reset after...and even longer for apps ...HOWEVER ...mi software really has updated via wifi (i havn't turnd it off an on again yet)...

someone send me an invite to pintrest pinboards...i found them through stumbleupon and they look cool...

Smart televisions...dont know much...but just found out theres a samsung pdf file with all the telly models and the apps that work on each model...

So far...

The Sony xperia mini was soooo wonderful when i first got my android phone in February of this year...i was so brokenhearted when it broke...and the mini fashion replacement was a swap i could hardly bear to make...then to find the software couldnt upgrade past 2.1 and would never allow me to save apps to the sd card...well i kept the lovely mini fashion and love it still...but decided to buy an arc on contract...the wollypark wordpress blog linked to this blog tells the summer story of blogging from my phone...its cool, it's taken so long to look and try apps, now i realise the androids really need 16Gb sd card to avoid problems, apps to auto kill apps, memory usage apps, and file manager apps...anyone know why a simple paragraph or two with the phone on any of this info still hasn't been included by either the manufacturer, the ph contract co or the android market???
As a flip side i have jus found more timescape app addons...flickr, rss and photo's...haha the widget only goes on a sony homescreen that plays up and wont let u add anything...i could still run it on the mini fashion...but would have to pay datacharges pay as u go (although at home...pardon the pun...theres wifi) cool eh...location says i'm always home...
My thoughts are...if it was anything other than a 'smart' phone concept the whole android thing would be deemed unfit for the purpose...why is the customer trialling suspect apps and coping with limited phone space etc etc
It's a hobby, an ongoing thing, for like camera geeks people who like endless changes and tweeks...it's almost techno-addictive...basically it's stupid...if i have to root it, it's going back...ok...
I'm now going to treat myself to an android holiday...i loved my w995 its still easier to work reliable takes awsome pics, just cant read websites too well. I loved the xperia mini but linking it to my pc crashed the pc...i quite like my xperia arc...but eight months to get it to where you want it with all the info...and still on limited phone memory is really stupid...
Roll on the android tablet, honeycombe (no it wont be compatible with the phone) and ice-cream sandwich operating system...v v funny
I bought a book (from a real bookshop) it's an biography of one of the google start up team called I'm feeling lucky... I think the luck with these guys...like the android market is that we put up with them...

Brill i changed my sd card from 8Gb to 16Gb without problems

Just put the 8Gb in an sd card adapter and copied all the files by highlighting them all and pasting to a new folder...i went safe eject usb (the storage adapter) put the 16Gb card in the adapter copied the files onto it...checked they were all the same, and in the same order at both staged...put the card back in the phone...it even kept my smart shortcut bookmark icons ...
I didnt unmount my sd card...i was worried it would ask for a factory reset from reading forums...
So far so good no problems...

Nottingham super funfair is being held this week (same as every week for the last 700-something years) it's called the Goose Fair, is held on the Forest Recreation ground (no not the football ground) and is nothing to do with Geese anymore...but lots to do with FUN..

HDR Camera Pro App files

The files to this app are in sdcard/picture/originals, on my Sony xperia arc...each file is about 2Mg and there are three photos to each hdr pic...light dark and blend...so they take up alot of space
Quickpic app allows you to batch delete files and has all the pics in their own folders...i havnt checked if it deletes from sdcard/pictures/originals yet
