Here's my current status. *Now off to find the charger*. Sigh! :(

I have another problem, my notification bar doesn't show WiFi status, nothing appears when I switch it on or off. (No third party WiFi apps installed)

Any Help?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] topazonic:
How much screen on time you get? For Xperia P it should get well above 2 hours but varies on what you have been doing when screen was on.

The android icon at the top left corner? Is that a task killer? If yes, then the first thing to do is remove it. About WiFi, do you remember installing any app after which the WiFi icon disappeared. Juice defender & other battery saver apps have had grey WiFi icon problem with ICS. So even if you had installed it for once then it may have caused problem. Try searching the play store with keywords WiFi fix. You may try them. One more thing, I removed all the bloatware that came with ICS which was uninstallable. I am also using avast ;)

In your battery usage avast seems to be using some battery.(Mine doesn't even show up in the power hunger apps there) Turn off schedule scan, select automatic update on WiFi only. Turn off message shield as it is not necessary (As you can add your list in the blacklist list). In avast settings turn CPU wakeclock off. If you want also turn auto check update for anti theft. (I think default is weekly). Antivirus is not really necessary for android. According to these settings you will get necessary virus protection with anti theft (For me I use avast mainly for that) & save battery also.

Also check your partial wake clocks with better battery stats. It will also show you that for how much time has your phone been in deep sleep state.

Yes, I like to fiddle with my phone all the time, when the screen is on. This android widget is not any task killer, it's the 'Widgetsoid App' (see picture) , The WiFi icon was the problem ever since I bought the phone, when I switched it on for the first time.. I thought that the ICS update would fix it but nothing such happened. I also use avast mainly for the anti-theft feature, and just occasional scanning of apps.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] AnkurTri:
I like to fiddle with my phone when the screen is on, the standby time is pretty good though.

This icon is for the ' Widgetsoid Notification Bar' not a task killer.

You are right we shouldn't use a task killer.

I'm also using avast mainly for the anti theft. Just some occasional scanning of apps. The WiFi problem was since when I bought the phone, took it out of the box for the first time. I thought the ICS update would fix it, but nothing.

Btw, recommend a good custom Rom for this device, that would give more battery and storage.

Connecting sxp to TV using HDMI...

Has anyone here tried connecting the phone to a TV using an HDMI cable ? display and audio works fine, but when I try to enable HDMI-CEC to control the phone using my TVs remote, TV is not able to detect the HDMI device (phone here) . I have tried it on LG which supports HDMI=CEC. Thinking it could be compatibility issue . I tried connecting it to a SONY Bravia TV and that too was not able to detect my phone for HDMI-CEC control, but the dsplay and sound works fine on both the TVs.

Any help would be Appreciated .

the camera quality of Xperia P id not so good, since it 8mp camera.

even my Xperia Neo V with 5mp camera was better than this. :crying:

is there anything i can do to make it better? like some camera mod or anything :confused:

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] NASSOOR:
Sometimes all is needs is a restart. :p

Anyway, Windows should install them automatically using Windows update.

Go to device manager, then right click on the unidentified device and press (update device software), then (Search automatically..) and let Windows work its magic.

If that does not work, they should be included in Flashtool (drivers) folder.

Reduce number of homescreens on Xperia P ???

How to do it ?

In google play search for my playlist maker. It generates playlists for folder you select and they appear in playlists in walkman app.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] AwesomeTurtle:
Nice tip, especially since I've grown to like the Walkman app as a music player.

All right, so after all the fuss I put up about how I absolutely had to have the Nexus 4, I sat down and took a long, hard look at my XP: Aesthetics like these don't come very often, and it'd be ridiculous for me to just give it away in favor of specs I personally can get along just fine without.

I'm keeping the P. In fact, I purchased a refurbed netbook yesterday for the primary purpose of rooting it (along with my Nexus 7).
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] bronxdude:
you cannot reduce it. its fixed to 5
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MadManMark:
Lol this is a really small problem wouldnt you agree, honestly i dont know whats going wrong, or if it will ever work, but if you must get around it just upload directly from the phone, or move the images from your phone to the computer.

Like Bronxdude said you cant change the number of homescreens, your only option is to use a third party launcher, i'd suggest some to you, but never used any, you can find them in the play store.

hi guys i'm tempted to buy a Xperia P

i have a LWW so does it worth it? or better keep my LWW?

I really need to lose sound notifications with ICS? or it's better to keep it on GB?(Well i love my ICS from my LWW y just fixed the LED notifications and voilà)

and last

for you which color looks better? I had only white cellphones and I would like the silver but the screen is black and i don't know if it makes bad contrast or silver (i dont know how it's name the silver part below the transparent bar)it's misplaced with the black screen

And forgive my english :S
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] techno-np:
Yup go for the P it's totally worth it...u will enjoy ics on it.. No lag nothing..and JB is right around the corner. And silver one is best to go with the aluminium body....
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] AnkurTri:
ICS on Xperia P runs great. Keeping it on GB would be unfair from the phone's viewpoint. :) Also the battery stand by time is better on ICS.

And whether it's worth it or not depends upon the pricing in your country. When I bought it (in India) at 24k then it was priced decently, but now HTC One S is 27k and it is still 24k.. A bit overpriced regarding the specs. So choose carefully. Happy Buying :)

I've updated my P to 544 firmware with flashtool. I've unlocked my bootloader, I've rooted my phone. I get a very annoying persistant message that says that my P 'cannot install 6.1.B.0.544 '. The update center keeps coming with this message. And no matter what I try, I cannot update my phone with the small install (0.6MB). Is there a way to get rid of this notification (without completely removing the Update Center apk)?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] AwesomeTurtle:
It's the bootloader. When unlocked, Sony's tools determine the phone's software 'modified' and unable to update. I know this because I returned everything to stock on my phone just this morning, and the error ceased once it was relocked.

Here's a thread containing instructions on how to relock the bootloader: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1740243

Once the ftf is flashed (via flashtool), you can reboot into download mode again when prompted by the update center without having to reflash a ROM. It'll download and install the latest stock images.

P.S. if there's a way around this that doesn't involve starting from scratch all over, please correct me, guys.
