Sony Xperia Sola Ice Cream Sandwich Introduces "Glove Mode"

Sony Xperia Sola's ICS Introduces "Glove Mode", Control your Phone while Wearing Glove!


Today's Smartphones?? are great; they organize us, our lives, provide us with news and every information that we want a the distance of a single touch, It keep us in touch with friends and family  no matter how far away they are from each other. Operating Smartphone with gloves?? on the other hand  Not so much. They don't do a great job of keeping your hands warm in the cold weather, and they aren't exactly renowned for their comfort.

Fortunately! for Xperia sola users, Sony has you covered. The Ice Cream Sandwich update for the sola, which began these days, includes a very amazing feature called "Glove mode" which, allows you to operate your smartphone by wearing any pair of gloves .

Glove mode is actually an extension of Floating touch technology that has been present in the sola ever since it first shipped. The technology allows the phone to register the position of your finger up to 20mm away from the screen by combining self capacitance and mutual capacitance displays.

Glove mode is enabled by default, so you can unlock the phone while wearing gloves without having to dive into any settings. To help you see where you're currently pointing to on the display, a cursor ring will appear around your finger. Sony's demo video makes it pretty clear that you can use any type of gloves with the phone, and this will undoubtedly come in handy for many users as we approach winter.

I can see this feature being a major selling point for the phone in colder countries, so hopefully it works as well as Sony claims. If you're wearing thin gloves, navigation won't be much of an issue, but boxing gloves might prove to be slightly more challenging.

Just update your Sony Xperia Sola from 2.3 ginger bread to 4.0.4 Ice cream sandwich and Enjoy the GLOVE MODE and many other functions and features  with Ice Cream Sandwitch. You can follow the steps how to update Xperia Sola to 4.0.4 ICS from my older post.

Enjoy!! Good Day!
