[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dual disc 200:
Guys,Bought a new Xperia P on 12'Th of this month & from start had issues of Battery drains, recently two serious issues that cropped up one is the Mobile refuses to charge with the supplied charger & secondly i had left my phone for charging last night & I saw the green light glow & i had to sleep off leaving the charging circuit live. In the morning to my horror when i picked up my phone i can see it completely drained out in spite of the charger ON and was blinking the RED indication. Had to reset the phone & then started the charging process. Although have handed over the phone to the local Authorized service centre feels really bad to experience this.

Any pointers pls.?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Henry33:
will you please check your and let me know if this is normal since I cannot upload photo here I can't show it to you

will somebody made a macro shot on the volume key so I can check ?

thank you very much
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MajestyZ:
Most likely a faulty device/battery? Happens more often with any kind of electronic device.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dual disc 200:
+100 MATE. Agreed full. But the SE authorized centre can only repair it seems & cannot do anything of replacement sort. Am I the victim for a faulty manufacturing? Can anything be done as it's just not even a week old.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nwayen:
Yea I guess you can state you are a victim. I had some problems with the build quality and had to sent it back as DOA. In the meantime I had to use my old Hero. Fortunately for me the company who supplied it send back a replacement rather than repairing the broken one, so in the end I had my new phone within a week.

Depending on your country you can try to find out what can be done. Here in the Netherlands you can, without reason, send back a device bought online within 14 days and get your money back. I'm not sure what the criteria are for goods bought in stores, but that will be dependent on your country of residence anyway.

I hope you get a working phone soon!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] topazonic:
Here the photo that you would like to see.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] topazonic:
Yep I had picked it up from reading here. Thanks for remembering.

+1 again. ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] >500:
The P looks great... But I cant decide on what I want... Xperia S. Lumia 900 (unlocked) Grrr.

Ill have to pop into Sony and see if they have any to demo. My local store are useless, though :mad:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Spectre51:
For you Xperia P owners....ICS due the middle of August.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] cezarL:
Huh?!? Mid-August? Jeeez!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Henry33:
so you have it the same as mine so I guess it is normal :)

thanks mate for posting the photo
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Henry33:
Can't wait for ICS :*)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Rash-182:
Link? For US or Europe?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] topazonic:
It's very minor and barely visible. I think it's because the back is curved a bit over there.

---------- Post added at 04:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:20 PM ----------

As per my knowledge and as per the official Sony statement it is going to be released for all the new NXT series Xperia phones by the end of July. Update for Xperia S & Sony tablet P was released very recently.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Henry33:
I have it like 0.3 mm so it is not visible when you first look at it but when you stare at it for a while you can see it
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Henry33:
What do you think of camera?

I find it very good especially macro mode
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] topazonic:
It has got one of the better cameras. See the comaprison.

Camera Comparison
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Henry33:
very nice comparison

I am so glad with P camera that I have put away my regular camera :laugh:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] jebas15:
i got my XP today. now charging...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kevinclint:
Another comparison on GSM arena. IMO I preferred the XP over the XS and OneX, Take a look yourselves.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kevinclint:
Got my replacement new XP today. Guys, the old box I had came with an EP800 charger, but the new one I was given today came with an EP850 charger.

Anyone buying a new XP do look for the logo on the box as shown in the photograph below. All boxes with these logos come with an EP850 Fast charging charger.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mrsatan:
The P does have a damn fine camera, though I'm not sure I prefer the device to the Xperia S. If it was cheaper I definitely would. 399 is pretty good though. Also it's nice having the xtra power of the S for ICS. And since the S is going to be the premier developer device for a while that is another positive. If it didn't have these advantages I would certainly lean towards a P. Try and convince me otherwise as my S is going back because of a fault and I was going to buy another one.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Henry33:
Have the same charger? :-)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] xRIZx:
problem with my Xperia p

Guys i having some issues, bubbles start appearing in my transparent bar after phones gets warm when browsing... Do anyone have this issue? It doesn't go off and it spreads everytime I use WiFi to browse, does the glue inside between the antenna melt?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Henry33:
Do not have it

Can you take a picture of it?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] xRIZx:
It's quite transparent, hard to take pic of it.. But it annoys me cause its still new...

I will try to take pics later
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] xRIZx:
This is the issue I mentioned, do hope to hear reply from u all :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kevinclint:
Had the same problem with the transparent bar but in a different way. The bubbles started from the left and gradually increased to the right. Showed it to the service centre and they too cudnt figure out why it happened. Anyways, I just got a replacement as I had some camera problem. so long there's no bubbles on it. You can try and ask for a replacement, as the situation will only worsen.

---------- Post added at 09:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:23 PM ----------

The S is definitely THE phone. However, it was just too big for comfort. The P with its size and placement of buttons and the excellent sunlight legibility was just perfect for me. Although not as good as S in terms of dev, it's dev section definitely covers the basics for any newbie user (read me).

The EP850 charger is a blessing.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] viiv:
Whats the build date of your phone? The build date is written underneath the removable bottom cover in year week of the year format so for example 12W15 for 15th week of 2012.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] xRIZx:
mine is 12W20
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mohanparvatham:
I got my new Xperia p today....is there any way to root it without unlocking bootloader.....
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] bed-boy11:
No.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] topazonic:
Hello guys, I didn't knew that our Xperia offered free online storage. Today I read it in its review somewhere. With Box.Net Xperia owners get 50 GB of free cloud storage. You can download that app from play store or if you have already installed then just register your account. The offer is valid till 31st December 2012.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] 6E 65 76 69 6E:
Charged to 100 percentage today morning. Connected to wifi for exactly 1 hour. Downloaded Skype and created an account, checked gmail inbox. thats all. It took about 15 minutes for that and then it was idle for the rest of the time. Drained my battery from 100-80. ie 20% drain for 1 hour of wifi(excellent connection) on the aforementioned usage. The battery is normal?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dohanotoha:
Considering its 1305 mah , I guess it is good consumption.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] SirRobin78:
After the reset with power and loud+, my battery don´t feel better. last two days i had a big decrease from ~70% to 30% in just a second. Why i´m the only one with such big battery problems?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MajestyZ:
Seems like a nice feature, that's what I thought.

So I decided to give it a try, uploading some important information I'd need at work, without taking my USB drive with me.

When I decided to download it I discovered that we're only allowed to upload files, not download, with a "normal" account. 50GB of online space is useless if you're not allowed to download anything from it.

Have you tried a battery pull yet? Charge the phone to 100%, then hold the power button + volume up button at the same time, until you feel the phone vibrating 3 times in a row. Then reboot your phone and charge it to 100% again (as it should have dropped).

As for my usage, I decided to take it off the charger at 12 at night, putting it in flightmode till 10 in the morning. Result: 3% drop, in 10 hours, not bad.

After that a day of normal usage. Few reboots explain the peeks in the graph. WiFi on at all times, 3G too, Autosync. No NFC/BT/GPS.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] topazonic:
I think after a hard reset it will take some charging cycles to calibrate again.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Henry33:
I have the same 50GB account and can easily download photos etc.

check again you should be able to download your content.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] topazonic:
I am also easily able to download.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] topazonic:
Sorry Double post.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MajestyZ:
Ah, my bad. I can download single files. But I can't download folders or multiple files at once. Which is a pain, in my opinion.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] topazonic:
For that you can download X-plore from the play store and add your Box account in it's web storage option and you are good to go. You can copy your whole folders and multiple files. ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] SirRobin78:
So you think i should give a try with a few more charging cylces before a full pc companion repair?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MajestyZ:
Did you give my method a try yet? Repairing with PC Companion doesn't seem like something that would "fix" it, only when you can't find out which app is causing this battery drain. Either that, or you have a faulty battery.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] onlinegaming1821:
1st android phone

hi guys, do you think sony xperia P is good in gaming (low-graphic games like temple run, angry bird, fruit ninja)? is it good also in ebook reading and web browsing? thanks for your replies. probably i like to buy my first android phone and i want better experience than ipod touch 4th generation. BTW i'm from philippines.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] SirRobin78:
I´ve tried this a few minutes ago - battery was loaded to 100%, hold the power button + volume up since the P is vibration 3 times and shut down. Started the device up again, battery is at 100% level. So is should be fine now?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MajestyZ:
I would have expected it to drop.

Do you have many apps installed? Perhaps one of 'em is causing the huge drop.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] SirRobin78:
I´ve done this last week and there was a drop to ~85% - but not yesterday.

Last night i´ve lost 10% in 7 hours - not bad. Maybe the battery calibration is now working fine after this steps. Will see.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MajestyZ:
Well that explains, as it will work one time only.

Has it come to your attention that the first 10% (from 100 to 90) goes way faster than the rest?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kevinclint:
And so does the last 10%. My XP just reaches 10% remaining stats and then suddenly power off's. Has anyone else had the same experience?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Lasse3040:
I have the same. My P crashes completely. From 30% to shut down in a split second. No idea why.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ste71m:
Had a similar problem too

I turned off the phone before going to gym and battery was 50%; when a couple of hours later i turned it on again battery was 35%
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dohanotoha:
I just bought the phone yesterday. I have noticed that the sound quality is not that good when I compare it with my arc. That includes both the internal and external speakers.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MajestyZ:
For those who have problems with sudden battery drops, have you tried the battery-pull yet?

Charge until 100%, hold Powerbutton + Volume-up button until the phone will vibrate 3 times in a row. Then reboot it and charge it to full again. This could calibrate the battery.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] SirRobin78:
Don´t know why but after my last shutdown at 25% i´ve connected my phone to charger, the transparent bar is lightning, even the screen is off. whats that? i´m sure this is the first time i´ve mentioned it...?

On the picture you can see the shut down at ~25%, don´t know why this happend...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Mooozer:
Yep tried and seemed not working.

I don't have this shutdowns at 25%, however i sometimes have reboots & everytime it does, it drains big amounts of battery to nowhere.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] haithamkhc:
Love this phone i was thinking of buying it because of its build material which i find better and more premium than Xperia s, unfortunately I was not encouraged with the small battery and the 1g processor and and the 16g storage, as I am a heavy user

Love the phone though
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] SEFanX10i:
Can any P owners tell me if Flipboard app works on their phones ???? Apparently flipboard blinks and crashes on Xperia P ?

And Angry birds space too ?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] cezarL:
Flipboard is fine. Just this morning I spent about 30min in the app on my way to work, no crashes, no blinks...

Dunno about Angry Birds, though, I don't play games on me phone :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] AmazingSteve:
Angry Birds Space works absolutely fine on mine.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] SEFanX10i:
Thanks guys ! :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] 6E 65 76 69 6E:
Flipboard and angry birds space works with no problems whatsoever.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] finduz:
I'm about to buy a new phone as I'm selling my HTC One X which is a bit too big and expensive for me.

I think I'll go for Xperia P or Galaxy S2 (a used SGS2 is a bit cheaper than a new SXP). Which one do you guys reccomend?

If I've unterstood the other threads about unlocking Xperia S, it works on this phone too.

Is there any ICS roms avaible for the Xperia P yet?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Mooozer:
No ICS not ready here. Comes up in July on official Channels and will then be themed and customized by the devs.

SXP is a very nice Device, but maybe a bit small coming from a One X (i have both here so i can compare).

The Screen is somewhat small for the keyboard, in landscape mode however works absolutly fine.

I would'nt take Samsung, though it's my own Opinion against that Brand that prevents me from doing so. Compare those 2, and make out which of them suits you best.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Hornet331:
Its because the % available bar gets somewhat stuck, but the battery still drains normally and when the voltage is below a certain value the phone turns of to not damage the battery.

I know because I run the battery monitor widget in the background. Last time this happened the % was stuck at 78% but the voltage was already at 3,620 V when 3,725 is 20%...

Seems there is a software that sometimes screws the % reading up, and since the battery warning is tied to the % and not voltage your phone will just shut down instead of giving you a warning.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dohanotoha:
I have got an update now. Not ics but I'll let you know
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kevinclint:
I hope it is just that. Will keep a check on that from now on.

Although, I did realise that the phone powers off from 30% or so to 0% especially when fast charged for around 10-15mins from 0%. I mean after unplugging the EP850 charger after 10mins from a 0% battery level it indicates it is charged at 45%. But then shuts off suddenly at around 30%.

Is this the fault of the charger that it somehow gives 'fake' readings? Things are fine when I let the phone discharge from a full charge of 100%.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MajestyZ:
Please keep us updated! I bet it's 6.0.B.3.162 right?

Curious to know whether we get any battery improvements or not.

I can't find it through PC Companion and SEUS yet, but it's ready to be installed via Emma for me.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] SirRobin78:
So you can install it through Emma?

Lets hope for a battery fix, the shutdown on ~30% is annoying

So it's to early to ask for fixes?

Gesendet von meinem LT22i mit Tapatalk 2
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] topazonic:
The battery problem may be occurring because you have installed an app like battery widget. Just remove the widget from your homescreen, go to applications and clear that apps data & uninstall it. Now check in the about phone & you will get your real battery status. They mess up with the phone battery calibration & so the phone shuts down according to what it reads from the app you have installed. This will also solve the unexpected shutdown of your phone.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] SirRobin78:
My last shut down did happend without any special battery widget! So i´m not sure if this is an other problem...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dohanotoha:
Yes it is 3.162 I can't figure any changes but I guess it's the one preparing the ics!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] topazonic:
Then you can try this. Wait until your battery drops down to very low. Then when the phone is switched off charge it in switched off mode. After it is fully charged, switch it on & do the same process one more time & hopefully your battery should get calibrated properly.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] NABENDU1:
just updated my phone to the latest build 6.0.B.3.162 using the PC Companion software ! this update might be for fixing the bugs ! now i feel that at 100% brightness the yellow does not turn into a greenish tinge but i guess the default sunflower wallpaper looks somewhat weird and not natural at that level of brightness ! also the google search bar colour has been changed if im not mistaken ! cant yet comment on the impact on battery life !!

I also had the impression that at 100% brightness the green issue is not so evident when compared to 50% brightness. But i also had the impression that also at 50% brightness yellow turns a little into green so when you increase to 100% brigntness can't see the difference. Or in other words that increasing brightness does not affect so much the yellow color because yellow is already a little green.

But maybe i'm wrong just an impression
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rufusj89:
Hi all,SXP user from India here.Got an Xperia P Update [6.0.B.3.162] a couple of nights back via PC companion. Applied it.

Immediately noticed severe death grip issues and network connectivty problems. If I grab the phone the way I normally used to before,the network would drop down to zero just like that.The GPRS/data gets cut off as well. This happens usually indoors but isn't consistent in behaviour.But last night,I completely lost connectivity while the phone was just lying there.

Is there anyway to actually rectify this software related issue(??!) without actually unlocking the bootloader/rooting the phone ?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] topazonic:
Having no such issues. Infact the mobile data connectivity has improved on me.

I updated it yesterday only.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] SirRobin78:
I´ve also this problems! Lost provider connection sometimes, sometimes a shutdown and reboot.

First i think about a hardware issues and defective sim card. Sim card is changed, firmware is flashed again and the problem still exists - mainly in GSM mode, it looks like the 3G mode is working without connection drops...

In Sony Mobile support forum there are also the first posts about that:

I have not received this update yet on my handcent but all of you guys having these kind of problems did you try a factory reset to see if it solves anything?

I've flashed this firmware with a complete whipe, so I think it is not necessary. Sony must fix this issue ASAP!

I´ve uploaded an screenshot to see how often there is the connection drop on my xperia P - maybe this is a problem in D networks only?

My mother with a german Xperia U with t-mobile prepaid card also faces the same problem!

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MajestyZ:
I have actually been experiencing this issue the last couple of days as well, but I'm still on .154, so I'm not sure whether it's caused by the new software update or not.

I'm still going to update to 162, I'll share my experience here later on.

Edit: Got it installed. Yellow / Green issue is still there for me. I'll share my experience with the battery and 3G/Mobile network later.

A friend told me to update using update service software (the old one) instead of using Sony pc companion. I will try and see if this works
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dygen:
6.0.B.3.162

Updated my XP to the newer firmware 2 days ago and haven't found any signal issues yet. In fact I think the battery usage on cell standby has improved a lot. For the first time in 1 month of usage my XP lasted a full 18hrs of moderate usage, which includes browsing in 2G for some 20 mins and some 4 races in NFS shift :D. Display was ON for 1hr 30mins. Still I have 37% left. I think that's a definite improvement.

PS: Update was done using Sony update service tool and not using PC companion. PC companion was stuck at the 'preparing update' section for some 45 mins. So I cancelled it and updated using update service, without a full wipe keeping all user data.
