Hi guys, I just changed from IP4 to Xperia V on sunday, 1st issue: very hard to adapt to Android OS. 2nd issue: i notice when setting images into wallpaper, I have to crop, the problem with crop is, I'm not allowed to set the WHOLE image as a wallpaper in home/lock screen, when I crop, the picture will be ENLARGED, in IP4 it's not like that, whatever picture I want I could just set it to wallpaper as it is, without limited crop sizes which I hate( wonder it's just Xperia phones or all Android). 3rd issue: when it comes to organizing apps, I can't seem to group apps together under one groups in the APPS page. ONLY when I drag the apps out into the home screen, then I am able to organize them into groups, otherwise as long as I keep on downloading apps, the apps will just continue to flood my APPS page (the middle icon which looks like SQAURES and small squares). In the apps page, I can only ''arrange'' the apps by Own order, Alphabetical, Most used and Recently installed, and to swap places or delete them, THATS ALL (Y CANT I GROUP THEM together and make my apps page looks neater?!)
If you notice the top right hand corner of the Xperia V, i.e when u charge your phone, orange flashing lights will appear. When I first bought the phone, I could saw GREEN flashing lights appearing when I leave my phone idling or sleep mode. Now, the green lights just suddenly disappear, this happens after when I woke up one day and couldn't START UP/UNLOCK my phone in the morning, I had to pluck out the battery and put it back, green light disappear. WTF?!
Last thing, regarding the changing of Font. It seems like I could only change the font size from small to xtra large. Is there anyway to customize the font like arial, times new roman all these etc?
No offense here but I'm just sharing and looking for helps/opinions to solve my above problem. Bought this Xperia V at IMM and was told I was the 2nd customer to purchase a Xperia V(James Bond ED). Perhaps when the release of Jelly Bean will resolve my problems? I seriously have no idea at all if I'm making the right choice here. HELP!!!
im not here to help but can u make the grey highlight go away?
cant even read, how to help?

Crop problems is only your problem.
Crop doesn't matter much
Hi,
regarding the layout of your homescreen, maybe you can try the various launchers available on the play store. the Xperia "skin" is designed in that way and the only way to change it to how you were used to on your iPhone is to download a launcher. you can take a look at the reviews of some of the best launchers in the play store now: http://www.android.gs/best-android-launchers-of-2012/
for grouping of apps, the only way you can do it is by tapping on the "four mini square" on the top right hand corner of the app menu (right next to "arrange" app order). you will see the apps jiggle and you can manually shift them one by one to the page that you want to.
regarding the charger problem. the "charging" light will go away when you get a notification. instead it will blink a light based on the notification type (this can be set, i.e. whatsapp allows you to choose colors)
hope this helped! and if you want to know more about your Xperia, you can check out our site at http://knowyourxperia.wordpress.com. Cheers! =)
