What are some of the best apps for the Sony Xperia Z1?
Well, there’s no one who’s best to answer this question but yourself. It totally depends on what you use your phone for, daily, and hence your apps depend on them!Having said that, I use the following few apps that I think are worth trying for everybody! (I use a lot many other apps but I don’t think they’re something you’ll need so I’ll keep them out of the list)Backdrops - WallpapersNow I don’t like the same monotonous wallpaper on my phone for more than a few days! And googling a wallpaper every few days is not something you wanna do just for a wallpaper.So this app brings all the best wallpapers for you. You search one that you like, click “set” and you’re ready with a new background!Instadict This a simple dictionary app. You select and copy a word, shake your phone and a small pop up appears showing you the meaning! It’s a must have for everybody if searching for meanings of words is something you do very often like me!Nova Launcher This app needs no introduction! It’s hands down the best launcher on this planet on any operating system! You can customize it the way you like it. And I mean it, you can customize everything and two people can have very different looking and feeling nova launcher setups!I use the prime version!Polycon - Icon Pack and CandyCons - Icon Pack I use a combination of these two icon packs. They offer material design icons that look sick! And I love everything material design!MX Player This is the best video player that’s built for android! Period.X-plore File Manager I don’t know how often people use file managers but I use them often and this one is just the best in business. The UI is a bit unusual and old looking, but the features that it has to offer outweigh the disappointment created by dull UI!Xender: File Transfer, Sharing This is a file sharing app! You can transfer files to and from different devices! It works irrespective of platform! Android, iOS, Windows Phone, Desktop, MAC, you name it and Xender can transfer the file for you!Note : I paid for Nova Prime and encourage you to do the same for any paid app you use! I do download the apks from the internet before buying the app, but that’s to try the app. But in the end I either buy the app if I like it or uninstall it if I don’t! I suggest you do the same. The developers need the love (read money) they deserve!
What is the Timescape app in Sony Xperia?
Before answering it, I read a little about the meaning of the word timescape. Timescape has been coined on the lines of landscape, seascape or any scapes that are coined or not coined. So, timescape is kind of landscape of time. In other words, what happens in the world with respect to time.Now, an important feature that I think may have given a boost to smartphones is the integration of social media in them. Xperia went a little ahead at that time, in the beginning of smartphone era, and integrated social media (not all) in one app. And they named this app as Timescape. Timescape, would integrate Facebook and Twitter into itself. So when someone you follow posted an update, that would appear in the Facebook or Twitter tab in the Timescape app, you didn't have to install separate apps to check on the updates of people you follow. Pretty space saver, huh?It also integrated mails, messages and call logs as far as I now. It kind of integrated the activities of your contacts in one app, I would say. The UI was pretty cool, you could slide frames of different posts or activities and it would glide like a stack of slides. I loved doing that. Unfortunately, it doesn't exist any more.Something more, though Facebook and Twitter were the default social media platforms in the app, you could install plug-ins to add more. I remember Instagram, Flickr and there were few others.So that was the Timescape app in Sony Xperia.

I'm using Sony Xperia Neo L. Is there any possibility to move my system applications like Facebook, Gmail, etc., to an SD card?
Yes. There is.If you are operating on the Android L, you may or may not be able to move these applications to the system. But if you are on any of the below versions, this is possible merely by gaining the access to the system of your mobile phone. In technical language, rooting your mobile phone.Well but gaining further rights is a little risky in the Sony phones as the bootloader needs to be unlocked which can be tricky and can hard-brick your phone.Rooting is easy. You can root your android phone anytime and do much cool stuff and turn your phone into a SuperDroid.However, Rooting voids the warranty which can be regained by unrooting the device. Please make sure you don't mess it up and read the steps carefully. Very carefully. And you are the one who will be responsible for any thing that turns wrong in the process.Link to Root : How to Root Sony Xperia Neo L MT25i - Root My AndroidVideo Procedure in case you are a total beginner :Source: Internet

Open your phone’s contacts and tap the “Merge Contacts” option.

Ability to move apps to sd depends on version of android ,Phone manufacturer.Now important thing is every app cannot be moved to sd card.For example system apps coud not be moved and should not be moved.( If you root your android phone you can move/uninstall some junk system apps) .Now try to move apps by going to settings ->apps->select app->move to SD.I. If you are able to move app to sdYour data would not be lost as long as sd card is intact.If you remove your sd card you would not be able to use your app temporarly since its on sd .Still you wont lose data and app would work fine if you reinsert your sd card back. (unless you corrupted/formatted your sd card somehow).II. If you are not able to move apps/or move to sd option is not found.This means your current android version does not support moving apps to sd or manufacture of your phone has disabled it.There are many ways around this. You can download third party apps from playstore and try to move apps.Linktosd is a great app but i think it works well when given root privilages.Root your phone .Google “root sony xperia sp” many tutorials are there.
