@zackconsole i guess a few lines in that statement had the answer to ur question !! White magic technology gives 3 times more efficient use of the led display range so theoritically speaking the battery should also last three times longer !! but this is where the catch lies in the technology !! firstly u need a fourth led which itself consumes charge !! also for solid colours wherein there is either no R/G/B then in that case the white magic will be of no use at all !! hence practically speaking it saves battery in my assumption by around to 80 % to 100%(though this just an estimate) but the dual core and ram are battery guzzling and hence wat u will get ultimately will be the normal battery life as u expect in an android phone !! 4 to 5 hrs of display time depending upon the kind of apps u use,u will get on a full charge !! i mean even a galaxy ace has a bigger/equivalent battery but will provide the same battery life with minimal specs ( this i can say cause my bro used it for a few months ) . I guess sony could have increased the battey to a standard 1500 to 1700 mAH which would really show that this technology actually worked and there would nt be so many pessimists relating to the technology !! and to those who say super amoled is the benchmark i would recommend u to test sxp with a S2 which will show how clear and vivid the colours looks !! i guess the only other android phone having impressed me with itz display would be S3 but then again the size is what mattered in it !!

also another point to be noted is that ics on sxp has an extended power management application which is shuts down all apps if nt used for more than 15 mins !! this comes handy to me especially in office/at night wherein i rarely use the phone and have found that inspite of keeping my with data on/wifi on it reduces the battery consumtion to a great extent !! at night during 6hrs of sleep it consumes only 2 to 3% of battery most of the times with data on though i switch off the wifi using the smart connect which i have configured !!

all in all the battery life seems to be as one with a 1600 to 1700 mah phone though u shouldnt expect 2 days juice out of it on a single charge !!;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] IdeosDev:
Alright all my doubt is clear

Sony Increase Quality and More Better Performance screen to save battery but they fitted a modest battery

therefore we can't see much of different.

Well i am waiting third party solution whereby swapping out that lithium ion battery for a bigger one but i just want to use the device for basic

Wifi surfing maybe 3g when i am out & some little gaming.I think should be enough.

Other than JB in 2013, and poor battery I love it
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nims11:
and may be JB will be last update from company that I have to consider

because it started from GB->ICS->JB

Because these companies not give update to older device once they release bunch of new models
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] adieeluv:
Ok guys, just joined the club of Xperia P last week (coming from Xperia arc). Gotta say the phone is so much snappier and about display, effin its just brillant!! can't resist looking even a second. Upgraded to ICS immediately after switching on the phone (not even tried exploring Gingerbead 2.3.7 update - i wish i should have) and hell the phone looked so smooth and haven't experienced much lag after installing more than 80 apps, auto sync on (6 accounts) & live wallpaper on the board. And about battery life, currently not facing much issue although i keep data (3G) & auto sync on 24/7. For me, phone on standby at night for 8 hours gets down to 4-5%. Though i wish it could have more battery power, then it would have been one hell of a phone.

Few questions for you people -

1) What is the latest firmware running on u all's Xperia P? (im on 6.1.B.0.544) but ptcrb has certified 8 updates after 6.1.B.0.544.

2) The SI no. on my phone box shows 1267-5264.3, can anybody please confirm the country/region this SI belongs to. Got the phone from grey market via ebay, so can guarantee the phone is not from my region.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kaliberx:
The 544 is the last offical.

As far i know there is a 550 for Vodaphone and 559 for Orange Costomers.

PTCRB just shows if a Company certifies a Firmware, but that doesnt means that the Company (Sony as example) will release all of them.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] halfmanhalfmachine:
I got 559 on my unbranded in Singapore this week.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] adieeluv:
Thanks for the info.

I guess the 559 update is for global, saying because my friend has the same update and he is not an Orange customer and also when yesterday i plugged the phone on PC there was an update available, but couldn't update since i had to rush for some urgent work. Will try and update on weekend and let u'll know.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tibidt:
Hi, I just got the .599 update , before I was on .544 ( i think) and I don't see any difference.

back, home, menu button problem

hello everyone,

1) i have been facing a problem since two weeks. My xperia p is 4 months old but from the last two weeks the home back and menu touch sensitive button's don't respond properly. but if i flash my cell phone via pc companion it vanishes. and as soon as i load it with apps this problem appears.

2) my sim card cover has come out and now only the plastic lock and a small paper is covering the slot. any suggestions on how to solve these problems.

thanx in advance!!!!!

Hello People, I have this phone three days ago, and I have the following questions:

1. The number of screens where I can edit, do not like having five with one is more than enough for me.

2. In the notification bar buttons appear no sound, timing, etc, etc, as they appear on CM 7 or 9, it can be activated or something to see that.

Thanks ...

and I love this phone, very nice...

Battery charging problem

Hello guys! I'm a new owner of xperia p and new on this forum, so greetings to everyone.

I'm very satisfied with the phone! My first android, but it works perfectly, smooth etc etc.... The display is something that even galaxy s3 user envies me! You almost need sunglasses in the night if you set brightness to 100%.

But few days ago, I started facing a strange problem. I only googled one user with problem like i have.

When my battery empties, I connect the phone to charger and it stops charging at around 40 to 46%... If i reconnect the charger it starts charging again.

Also, when it stops and i unplug the charger and reset the phone, sometimes battery level which was for example 43%, after restarting it jumps to about 54%...

Tried calibration thing, resseting with volume up key etc etc... (i read almost this whole thread :D).

Yesterday i repaired my phone with SEUS but it's still the same.... One strange thing happened though... Firmware version is the same before and after flashing, but after flashing i got in the power management that battery usage graph, but i didn't have it at all before....

At next charge I'll ty charging it through usb port of my computer to see if it's a charger problem maybe...

Otherwise it's an amazing phone.... Battery is just fine for me.... Lasts a day for sure, two days with careful usage.

no 559 till now for SXP in india
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mas143forever:
More of a bug it is, especially with the ICS firmware I faced this, and many others also facing this issue sometimes. After putting it on charge, sometimes it just stops updating the battery percentage, even though it keeps charging. A restart sets it right showing the correct battery status.. I didnt face this on the GB.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] hrishi_dk:
:crying:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] lstic:
Possible, but after leaving it overnight on charger and restarting afterwards, it doesn't get to 100%... Usually about 10-15% more than it showed on charger....

In time I'll try to analyze all combinations of possible solution.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] techno-np:
Yes this also happens with me sometimes...

Seen some people complaining of crackling in the phones loudspeaker but this is because you have xloud enabled, and that amplifies the audio, perhaps Sony should have made it so there speaker can handle xloud but they didn't, so yeah disable xloud if you can't stand the horrible crackles!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] NABENDU1:
The Japan Display Inc which is the manufacturer of the display panels of Sony Mobile Smartphones has stated in a recent press release that that a WhiteMagic display could be on itz way. It talks of a 5-inch 1080p display with 438 PPI and “low power consumption that is approximately 50% less by utilizing an RGBW pixel structure”. This display also includes an “integrated touch function (without cover glass)”, probably similar to Sony’s sensor-on-lens touch screen technology. This proves that the white magic technology is one on which sony is betting on heavily and in no way can it be called a failed technology !! :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] lstic:
Tonight i left my phone to charge on usb port of my computer and it charged fully....no freezing. Maybe it has something to do with charger after all.

Guys i think that the menu touch button is not so sensitive as the back or home button...Has anyone noticed the same?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mas143forever:
Nopes, nothing like that.. All three are equally sensitive, on my handset at least.

---------- Post added at 10:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:47 AM ----------

Were you getting the problem every single time you were charging through the charger? If so, then your charger might indeed be faulty.

The bug is there for sure. But it doesnt happen on every single charging, and the charging itself doesnt stop, just the percentage stops updating..

Hello guys.

I'm thinking of getting this phone. I watched the dis-assembly and didn't like how the battery looks. I also don't think there's a replacement for it,so my question to you who have used it is...

1. How bad is the battery life if i use opera mini and whatsapp all day on Edge internet.

2. how bad are the webcam photos

3. Is there a way to install a recovery like cmw and root the phone without unlocking the bootloader,so i can keep warranty?

Thanks

Im' having problems with my LT22i

This has been happened while I'm playing: Bubble Balst 2, Pool, Words, etc...

Suddenly in the game the touch stop working and I have to press power button to standby the phone and wait 2 sec press again the power button to enter and keep playing the game till the touch stop working and do the same thing each time the touch stop working

The phone is rooted with stock ICS rom

:confused:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] techno-np:
Probably the games are not updated to be compatible with ics yet...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MadManMark:
1. Battery life isn't ideal but you can survive a day easily, especially with extended standby mode (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XM2fSp1_XuM&feature=youtube_gdata)

2. By webcam photos im guessing you mean front facing camera, the colours arent very good and the picture isnt very sharp, but if you wanna skype, it will do its job, just not the best video quality tbh

3.Yeah you can root without unlocking bootloader as far as i know, but i havent ever tried nor done this but i'd just assume so :) i do remember seeing rooted with locked bootloader in signatures
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Allanitomwesh:
Thanks for the reply

1.By a day do you mean 8hrs at the office or still have charge >15% when I'm eating supper from my morning charge?

2. CWM seems to be an alpha version,does this mean I have to fastboot? What are the chances of bricking?

3.If I root,is there a way to get access to all the 16gb? Sounds trivial but it feels wrong to have 3gb missing.

4.I like the black one,but if you were to pick the most stylish of the three colours,which would you get?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MadManMark:
1. It really depends a lot on your screen on time, display is the biggest juice sucker on this phone

2. Can't answer haven't done this sorry

3. I'd assume so but once again haven't tried so yeah...

4. Initially I always wanted the silver one but got a black one, now that I got a silver one, the black model seems quite nice, but silver Is still better in my opinion, definitely wouldn't go for red lol
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Allanitomwesh:
You're right,the silver one is pretty nice,but I'll just end up with the black one. I use black themes on my phone anyway.The transparent strip glows white, so it should match well.

It's a good phone no doubt,but I just keep coming back to the battery. It just seems tiny for a dual core.Sony, was 1700mAh/1500mAh really that hard? :sly:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] lstic:
I charged two times through pc usb and it charged to 100% with no problem. Tonight i connected it to charger, and in the morning it was stuck at 46% again... Obviously the charger is the problem in my case.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] topazonic:
Until now the battery hasn't been much of a problem. I have got maximum 3 hours 15 mins screen on time. Generally I get around 2 Hours 50 Mins screen on time. In standby time phone loses very less battery after ICS. These stats are with constant connection on, autosync on & occasional WiFi. Note: I am on 2G.

FB & Twitter notifications on with auto refresh set to 4 hour interval. For me, major battery drain are VoIP calls as I use it quite a lot.

Does anyone know what the correct SAR value is for the Xperia P is? The book that comes with it states the highest SAR value is .78 yet this link to the FCC says otherwise. Like 1.18 at head and 1.34 max and .98 body...Which is correct?

This is the first picture I take with my Xperia P (I don't really care about the phone's camera much, as long as it works and can take a clear picture, the camera often works as a magazine page scanner for me, so all the fancy stuff dumped by Sony is just bonus for me). You can see that the flash (set as auto) overkilled and resulted in over-exposure, nonetheless the picture quality is fine for me when viewing on computer. This picture was taken in the morning by the roadside. So can anyone with some survival or botanical knowledge tell me are these mushrooms (the coin indicates their size) safe to eat, or will someone get high and end up in the hospital after eating them?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] inquisitor:
Anyone sharing my disappointment over the silver version? Today I saw it for real for the first time and this glittery coating just looks so awful cheapish and most importantly it totally hides the precious aluminium this device is made from. WTF were Sony thinking when starting production of this piece of kitsch? Why didn't they just brush the alloy like any other manufacturer would have done? Instead they found the cheapest looking coating and made this wonderful phone look like crap. That's like silvering gold jewellery. I'm totally disappointed and I wonder if this was intentional as all the renderings show a matte surface.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ste71m:

Xperia P capacitive buttons response

I sold my Xperia S mainly because I just did't like the fact that I need to learn/practice to get capacitive buttons work fine for me and also the covers on USB port.

Anyone who tried Xperia S and now P please share how the response is on P. Are they very similar to S?

Also, if the price difference between S and P is only $50 if P still worth the price compared to S? I am only worried about feeling 4" screen too small after getting used to Arc for so long.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] chch:
This review includes some battery comparisons:

http://www.hardwarezone.com.my/review-sony-xperia-p-angular-affordable-nxt-smartphone

You have to be careful with battery comparisons though. The above test sets all phones to 100% brightness but that is not a good basis for comparison as some phones are designed to be more powerful or brighter than others.

Some sites also compare phones at 50% brightness which is really stupid as not only are the outputs different but the light scales used are arbitrary and non-linear.

A fair test would be to set all phones to the same lux levels.

I would guess that if the battery tests were fair (same lux settings) then the Xperia P would do a lot better. I can't believe how many sites do stupid % brightness tests. Probably an indication of how meaningless many of the reviews are. I just read a Sola review that said the standard browser was much slower than all the third party ones they tried but they didn't think that only the standard browser has the floatintouch setting and they didn't think to turn it off to compare. Lets face it, most phone review sites are just flicking out as much content as possible to make money.

Still looking at my own battery usage (on a Defy+) the screen is only a small part of battery usage so if you are browsing on WiFi WhiteMagic is not going to save you while WiFi is killing your battery.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gambler_3:
Just read the verge review and sony has used actual regular capacitive buttons for the P on the white strip and they work just as any other phone. Thats a huge plus in my opinion as the white dots of the xperia S are one of the most annoying things about it, it's like trying to fix what was really not broken.

And they also say the hardware shutter button is really good something again the xperia S lacked, whats the point of a shutter button if it aint uber comfortable? It's just like the arc vs neo where the neo had a much better button.

I can live with 16GB I suppose the phone seems really good to me. Just have to wait for gsmarena battery test, so wish it had a 1500mah battery I wouldnt even think twice about getting it.

EDIT: OMG it has an IPS LCD so no more ****ty viewing angles like the xperia S has. And read this from the verge,

"Put simply, in daylight, the Xperia P’s display is hands-down the most readable smartphone display I’ve ever come across. Even in direct sunlight, text remained entirely legible and colors were still accurate.

Aside from the brightness, the display performs as an IPS should: viewing angles are near 180 degrees and colors are accurate however oblique the angle."

Now if only the xperia S had regular face buttons and this display. Oh sony why do you fudge on every phone it seems. You should have given the xperia P more respect with a bigger battery really.

---------- Post added at 11:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:08 PM ----------

"Coming into this review I was concerned about how the Xperia P's tiny 1305mAh battery would cope, but its SoC seems relatively good at sipping power. The Xperia P managed around 14 hours of use, including an hour and a half of camera work, watching a two-hour video, two hours of gaming, and over an hour of calls. In reality it’ll get you to the end of the day without any issues, and if you're not a heavy user you'll get a couple of days out of it."

Wow this really is getting better with this phone. I might just buy one when it gets the ICS update.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] chch:
gsmarena compare phones by setting them to 50% brightness. Phones are not set to the same brightness output. Their battery test is hence very poor and results quite deceptive.

They really do make some poor comparisons (comparisons that make you wonder how impartial the site is) and comments and will remove posts if you point them out. I like reading their reviews but I take their conclusions with a grain of salt.
