I just bought my XP and wow it's great the only thing is that I don't know how to turn off the % of the battery I don't like it I like just the battery icon :-S and my battery runs out really fast write 1 sms drains 3% in 30 seconds :-S idle gets better buy I can take out 50% in 30 mins of angry birds starwars is there something wrong?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MadManMark:
You cant turn off the percent, don't know why someone would want to, its helpful to know. You can get rid of it through mods though im sure. As for your battery situation, you're either exaggerating or your settings are to blame, perhaps a bit of both because yes the battery isn't great but that drain you've described is crazy lol. Firstly turn off NFC and Bluetooth unless you're really making use of them, that will save you some battery, and don't use 100% brightness, it really isn't necessary i like to go with auto brightness in bright mode. Another possibility i just thought of is that your battery isn't calibrated correctly after the update from GB to ICS, that should just phase out if so. Finally one feature i love is the extended standby mode, I think its a really good idea because data just kills my battery when my phones in my pocket and its not doing anything useful, the bad thing is it stops my updates coming through from whatsapp, but that isn't a problem because when i do turn the screen on, data comes back and the messages come through. If you're wondering what extended standby is, watch the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XM2fSp1_XuM&feature=youtube_gdata

I just got my Xperia P a couple of days ago and I found my battery life is very poor, losing 1% every 2 minutes with hardly any usage at all, is this normal or should I get a replacement?

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Wing00w0:
Actually you were right I didn't calibrate the battery after the ics upgrade so I calibrate it and now I lose 1% every 16 mins so it gave me like 25~26 hours of battery

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MadManMark:
The ringer volume applies for both SMS and Phone calls in ICS so if you put the phone on vibrate, sms will come through on vibrate, and phonecalls will come through on vibrate.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] jahadmajeed:
I flashed the firmware via flashtool, did not wipe data and app log, wiped cache... new system and kernel was installed and root did not work (SuperSU could not find binaries)

Tried rooting with bin4ry method via flashtool itself, but failed to root....flashed Sliding_XP kernel and root was achieved!

I already had unlocked bootlader, so flashing either Sliding_XP or ThP kernel will root the phone... For locked bootloaders, I guess you will have to wait for bin4ry to update script or find some other method for root...

Because when I'm taking a photo with flash, half of the picture is lit, and half of it is black. Like the shutter speed and flash speed are not synchronised...

Yep, flash/shutter speed synchronisation problem... If you try to change ISO values you'll se changes. On ISO100, I get the best results, and on ISO800 the photo is almost black.

Flash is too fast obviously....

That trick that I saw in another topic worked for me!

Turn on the camera, when it's on press the home button, go to settings-applications. Under 'all' tab (maybe it's named different in english, i'm using other language), find camera and end the process there. Then clear it's cache and restart phone.

Problem is gone (for now)!

I can confirm that cybershot 3.0 mod doesn't fix it if someone has intention to try it. I did with no luck.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gambler_3:
Well they do show in their review exactly how bright the phones are at 50% so alteast you know which phone is actually brighter at 50%.

I think the reason why they do at 50% is because it would be extremely time consuming for them to test each and every phone at a specific brightness. Like if they decide to test every phone at 200 nits brightness they will have to calculate for every phone the exact percentage when the phone is about 200 nits bright which will obviously be very different for every phone.

I am fully aware of this "limitation" of their test. The talk time and standy test wont be affected by it though and lets just wait for the gsmarena review to show how bright it is at 50%, many phones arent actually half bright at 50%.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] xperiax10.awesome:
For new users wat would you suggest XS or XP?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] draugaz:
They just need some not very sophisticated hardware to actually measure that brightness. It is just a matter of few seconds. They simply do not seem to care.

Another example of tongue-in-cheek tests is the battery test using some video loop. While it looks plausible, it actually do not say anything about everyday performance.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kevinclint:
This phone has really caught my eye in right about every aspect. Especially after I see that its almost all that the Xperia S has to offer feature wise in a pocket friendly(both cost and size) version. I have a few questions that I would like to have an answer for. So please if any of you already having the phone could please help me out with a few queries. Im sure other users curious about this phone would appreciate the answers as well.

1. Battery usage screenshots. I guess we all are curious of this. Would like to know how long the 1305mah battery lasts from a full charge?

2. Responsiveness of the Buttons on the transparent strip. Out of say 10 presses how many would you usually miss?

3. Camera photo samples in low light conditions: Wanted to know if it effectively focuses in low light conditions for a decent shot.

4. What is the average charging time for the P from 0% battery to full?

5. What are the accessories you got in the box along with the mobile?

6. How is Music clarity through the provided stock headphones? And the volume of the loudspeaker is good enough to hear calls or listen to music through them?

7. Does the UI lag during general operation of SMSes, Music playing, browsing, camera etc or is it quite smooth?

8. How about the heat generation on the phone during regual day to day use? Does it get too hot frequently?

hi guys,

can any one tell me if in xperia p the transplant strip also illuminating with multiple colors with songs/gallery just like as xperia u or its simple like xperia s?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] inquisitor:
The multi colour LEDs are a unique feature of the Xperia U. The P's tranparent bar is illuminated by some white/blueish LED.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] zed011:
Is the verge just assuming it is IPS because the viewing angle is good or do they actually know for sure because of some documentation? Sony, IPS? Could dream ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] o>c:
1. Battery usage screenshots. I guess we all are curious of this. Would like to know how long the 1305mah battery lasts from a full charge?

It depends, with 1 hour of 3G browsing could spend up to 20 percent of power, I think 3G browsing could drain the battery in less than 4 hours, which is not good, battery life for wifi browsing is ok for me. It can last for a day for moderate use, you do need to get it plugged at home or work place or consider external battery if you browse a lot.

2. Responsiveness of the Buttons on the transparent strip. Out of say 10 presses how many would you usually miss?

Responsive, haven't experience any noticeable problem when using.

3. Camera photo samples in low light conditions: Wanted to know if it effectively focuses in low light conditions for a decent shot.

A few pages back I have posted a photo shot in the morning, the led flash overkilled and made the photo suffer from over exposure, nonetheless picture quality is not bad at all.

4. What is the average charging time for the P from 0% battery to full?

Less than 2 hours.

5. What are the accessories you got in the box along with the mobile?

Headphone, charger (EP800) and usb cable, no nfc tag or hdmi cable. It is possible for different regions to have different packages.

6. How is Music clarity through the provided stock headphones? And the volume of the loudspeaker is good enough to hear calls or listen to music through them?

Haven't used the stock headphone. The volume is not very loud for calls or music, but is clear.

7. Does the UI lag during general operation of SMSes, Music playing, browsing, camera etc or is it quite smooth?

Haven't experience any freeze over the past week, what astounded me is that the stock browser is much more reliable than expected, not a single crash happened.

8. How about the heat generation on the phone during regual day to day use? Does it get too hot frequently?

It gets a little warm when charging or browsing, which is not very noticeable.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mrsatan:
Hmm i usually browse a fair amount on my phone and I only have to plug it in when I go to sleep. Seems to me the battery life is not very good compared to the Xperia S which doesn't have that great of battery life either.

How's the screen for browsing. I love my Xperia S because I don't have to zoom in very much and am able to read the text without scrolling around too much. I would assume the P is a little worse since the resolution and screen size are smaller.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gambler_3:
Doesnt matter as long as the viewing angles are as good as the verge review says. Not every IPS screen actually markets itself as one like the one on one X is IPS but it's never actually mentioned anywhere.
