[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] hpsauce37:
I have tried both the old and new firmware and both give me the same issue with signal and data loss.

I now have the Xperia s and no such signal issue, however even with ics it still have its issues. I would however still prefer the Xperia p just for its size and feel however I am no longer willing to just 'keep waiting ' for Sony to pull their finger out.... If indeed they can.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Pinga144:
Very strange! I can only tell that with my initial FW there are no signal and data loss issues.

I am very happy with my phone except a poor battery and too long wait for ICS and turn JB.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] zeppeline_2011:
so sir if the ICS will appear. what is the best phone now? P or S?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] NABENDU1:
well if u compare, sony xperia s is but obvious the winner ! higher the processor clock speed and more the cores better is the phone !! however you wont feel anything different with the handling of both the phones since the android os requires far lesser specs for smooth handling ! the main difference could be felt when playing HD games where a processor with higher speed and cores can easily play the game while the one with low specs might lag ! however even sony xperia p can play most of the hd games without lag and if u r a normal gamer it might suit your taste !! however one point to note is that many of EA and Gameloft hd games are incompatible with sony xperia P because it is based on a completely new processor platform !! ahard core gamer is better suggested to opt for the flagship sxs
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dygen:
ICS coming..

Yey ICS is on it's way... :highfive:

There is a firmware update available 6.0.B.3.184 , Go check it out guys ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] topazonic:
Not available here in India.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] topazonic:
It is released for Xperia U but not for Xperia P :(
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] eachx8:
Yes!I also receive update information.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] topazonic:
But I don't see it certified yet. If you update it then let us know the changes.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nickholtus:
Anyone can make a system dump or FTF from it?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] topazonic:
Ok, now it got certified,saw it but I did not receive the update notification yet. You are updating through SUS or PC Companion?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] hpsauce37:
so why is it that us xperia p users are left waiting still for this update!

The p is the one with all the major problems (network drop) and yet they release firmware for the u!

typical sony

by the way

nothing for me trying with update service

son xperia p (sim free device) in the uk on the orange network.

:(
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MajestyZ:
The U and the Sola have the same problems, as stated previously.

I have the new firmware installed right now, I guess the WiFi signal seems a bit better but I can't take any early conclusions yet.

I live in the Netherlands by the way, using German firmware though.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] cadicuce:
I can update firmware 6.0.B.3.184 today:good: using PC companion

---------- Post added at 06:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:21 PM ----------

I download flash tool ver 0.9.0.0 and install it, then install flashtool-drivers in drivers folder. so when I connect Lt22i to PC and start PC companion, I see new firmware 6.0.B.3.184.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nickholtus:
what firmware did you have before? (which country?)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MajestyZ:
Sure thing, tell me how and I'll do it for you.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dohanotoha:
I guess within the next 10 days all p owners will have the update

My only hope is that they fix the signal dropp issue. Otherwise, I will be hugely disappointed.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Bialynia:
Just updated to 6.0.B.3.184, I never had signal drop issues, but people claimed I would constantly drop in and out, never figured out if it was mic, hardware or software, hope this update fixes it.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] eachx8:
I update through PC Companion in china hongkong.Nothing changes,I think it fix the drop sign problem.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dohanotoha:
I've just updated it. Too soon to tell of course. Hope signal dropp is gone.

I'm from Saudi Arabia.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kaliberx:
Looks good so far,

I had no signal lost since the update yesterday noon.

Xperianced just one App-Crash on Foursquare after i closed it, but that was maybe the App and not the new System.

I stil cannot update...I have provider FW from 3...so here it does last a while I think...:(
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] NABENDU1:
still no update available in india !! tried pc companion seus and web based update service but none worked !! :( though i have rarely experienced the network problem on my p, awaiting the update !! but i dnt find any logic in this update and the xperia blog states that the ics will be on xperia within 2 weeks !! guess the update should have been provided with a week of the 6.0.b.3.163 update !! sony i guess has got it all wrong with updating our device !! comon sony wouldnt xpect any more delay on the ics update !!

I'm currently using a HTC Desire with a broken screen, and am looking at this device. I don't like what i read about the signal problems, but hopefully it will be fixed soon. The update some of you are taking about now, is it GB or ICS? And how is Sonys GUI compared to stock? Is it possible/easy to root and remove bloatware?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] hpsauce37:
ok so can i just get this cleared up...

is this update that is out for the xperia p or u?

if it is for the p then has anyone in the uk had this yet?

im not getting any notification on phone or update service, im using a sim free (generic) handset with .564 firmware on orange.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] topazonic:
The new firmware for Xperia U was certified on 31st July & released on 1st August.

The new firmware for Xperia P was certified on 1st August & released on 2nd August. [For some on the same date]

This new update solves the network drop issue that was present in the earlier firmware.

I am from India & I updated through Sony PC Companion. [My phone is unlocked]

Finally, able to update my XP via the Mac :good:. That is actually pretty difficult if you don't have internet to figure out why the damn programme is not working.

As for now, no signal loss yet and full WIFI network. I've posted a strange problem some time ago reagrding the fact that I couldn't connect to every wifi network, but I read on the Sony Forum that the previous version on the XP had issues with 802.11n network. I never checked the settings of the wifi network of my friend but maybe that was my problem as well, which should be fixed in this upgrade. Checking it this weekend and report back

i just bought a sony xperia p and i realised that the screen at lowest brightness is extremely bright for my preference, also i do notice a slight increase of brightness when its on fullest brightness. Is this normal? I havent update anything, fresh from the box.

Oh alright thanks, because it is simply way too bright, i can feel my eyes straining under the lowest brightness. Hope they can reduce the lowest brightness value in the next update (ICS)

To M_247 yea i know about the whitemagic technology , a really nice display but havent get used to it yet, especially the brightness and the black colours seems wash out.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] hulkhaugen:
Been fiddling with my Xperia P for about a day now, updated and rooted it, removed a lot of crap etc. It seems to be quite decent now. I'm very happy about the camera, seems very good :) Else, it preforms as expected, but it did help with GO Launcher, static background and removing a lot of crap. Now i'm curious to see how well the battery lasts. Also hoping to see ICS in the near future :D

I'm getting a new smartphone (mine is a very outdated wildfire) and right now xperia P has everything I'm looking for.

Not too big, nor too small (I think 4.0 inches is much better than 4.3. It really makes a difference). However, I want a battery that lasts at least a day.

I know it's a bit early to tell, but how's the battery life with the ICS update? Did it improve?

How is batery life in Xperia P, I an really thinking in getting one, I like its aluminium body and it will be a nice update for my Xperia neo. What is keeping me away from the phone is its small batery, even considered getting the gsm version of the razr maxx but I really don't like motorola.

How about gaming in Xperia P?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] r00tPT:
I don't have a xperia P; I'm in the same position as you.

As for gaming, there are many videos of the xperia P playing high-def games on Youtube.

As for the battery, that's my biggest concern, too. Websites tear the phone down because of the battery.. But on the other hand, I've read many comments of users stating the battery is good and that lasts longer than the S2.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dohanotoha:
Just finished updating. Battery percentage has been added next to the battery icon in the top, walkman player has been added

One bad thing is the transition between pages in the main home screen is not as smooth as before. Correct me if I'm wrong!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] topazonic:
The transition may not be smooth. Actually a factory reset would help. As ICS over GB is a major change a factory reset is recommended. Though mine works good without it.

I got my black'n'precious P yesterday. It took me a 20 hours period to upgrade/unlock bootloader/ root, as I've had no previous experience with Xperia (beside X1 some years ago).

Seems very nice, charges quickly from different chargers, still, the battery's life is comparable with Moto Defy (my other Android handset) - 4+ hours very heavy usage, 8 to 10 hours "advanced heavy" usage (switch on'n'off all the time WiFi/3G/data/GPS, etc.).

The 64k question: is this really enough to offset that tiny battery?

All the reviews I found on the internet to date are susiciously vague on details.

---------- Post added at 12:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:27 PM ----------

Well, it is too tricky to judge the colors from the videos or photos. You simply do not know if they have accurate white point or not.

OneS has an amoled which usually heavily drift to green/blue. If you take it as a reference of "white" then everything else will suddenly look yellow.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] hagen1993:
Is the battery really such a problem? Can you get a full day of use out of it? (07:00 in the morning till 24:00 midnight, brightness 50% and always on data/WiFi?)

Does the phone suffer from hickups and lag? Can it run heavy HD games without problems?

Sorry for the questions, I'm just really curious ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kevinclint:
I just hope it lasts a day or more than medium usage. Itd be more than perfect for me then.

I've also read on a forum that they found the camera on the Xperia P to be better than that of the S when taking pics in low light. Guess we'll have to wait for reviews.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Felimenta97:
I think only with Razr MAXX you will get a battery to last like that.

With 20% brightness, some calls, about 10 SMS, lot's of music, some notes, gaming about 20 minutes, 1 hours of wifi I managed to get 21 hours (no data), but from 23:00 to 6:00 it was with airplane mode turned on. (Xperia S, 1750 mAh battery)
