So finally Sony acknowledge the camera bug - but haven't properly dealt with it. Wonder how long before the same thing can be said for the Bluetooth audio bug that for me is more of a problem.

All Sony support could say for me was that I had to 'repair' the firmware. I did that by going back to Gingerbread!! No issues since then!! Funny that.....

I've been away on vacation so not dared try the new upgrade. I'll do that over the next few days and report back.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] skip0pot2mus:
Liveware manager now called Smart Connect, seems they spent time making it look nice but there's certainly no cure for the headphones connected issue [when they're not] and now walkman stops playing every so often, I have to unlock the phone to press the play button as the buttons on the lockscreen become unresponsive, wtf is that about.

Another quality software update from Sony.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jonmorris:
I updated this a few days ago (well, the phone did) and I wonder if this might be one reason the battery life has taken such a hit - with the phone unable to go into deep sleep mode much.

Think the Sony power saving app as an example. I wonder if it's staying active to check if there's been a trigger to start a task (I've got it to go silent automatically at night if on charge)?

Talking of Sony 'quality'.. I got the V3 update to Sony Bridge for Mac and it has now removed the backup/restore feature. To top things off, it also crashes after a few minutes doing nothing - inviting me to report the bug and reopen. Before crashing again. Total crap!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] doministry:
After each boot I turn off this PowerSaver app which is piece of cr..p and force close it.

And the battery life is stellar.

Don't use this app.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jonmorris:
I don't use the power saver app. But I have used the new Smart Connect app - which might cause the same problems. Time to disable it I think!

Update problem

Hello everyone.

I have a little problem. I own Sony xperia P, LT22i, but I can't update it even with Sony PC Companion.

Problem is that bootloader is locked and I can't enter in boot mode so I can't get official update, please help.

When I disconnect USB and reconnect while press volume down button nothing happens...

Proximity sensor bug surfaces again

After using it for a while, i've noticed that the proximity sensor still acts buggy once a while! When i try to hang up after a call, the screen stays black so i've to use the power/ulock key and then hang up. Its strange this issue still persists in the latest 6.1.A.2.45 ICS, whereas i didn't have it in previous .58 build :eek:! I'm currently on stock sony ICS with stock kernel.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] soldiers33:
i ahve same issue as you and thought it was just me. I have to wait ffr like 3 seocnds until screne comes back on.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] skip0pot2mus:
Or have to wait for the other side to hang up the call and the screen comes back to life.

Though this doesn't happen with fixed line numbers in the UK, the phone doesn't disconnect.

The proximity sensor is annoying, another annoying thing with the dialler is when you have no signal but try to make a call, sometimes it kicks you back to the lockscreen?! wtf for?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tibidt:
I have just updated to ICS .544 ( Xperia P) and the first feeling is that is a bit slower ( less FPS) especially in games, but also in homescreen, appdrawer , menu....

Hate this.

I am on official fw , not rooted.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] doministry:
I confirm the proximity sensor bug.

Other than that the phone works very well.

Issues:

1. Homescreen redraws after browsing

2. The UI is not always smooth but a little edgy

3. Yesterday I had a problem with Data connection but the phone's uptime was 360 hours, I had to reboot the device.

Battery life is brilliant and everything else too......
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tel033:
Are you on stock fw and kernel?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] 18lama:
I second that. I thought that bug would have been crushed by now but it's still there.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] doministry:
Stock mate.

Upgrade via PCC.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ashqmallik:
Just got HIT by the auto awake bug and the quick launch camera bug. The phone is now keep gettin awake every now and then automatically. SONY really need to do something about it >.<
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] doministry:
I know it may sound boring but - check your apps.

I just mean my phone never performed this kind of bug, and is good on battery.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Deniz.S:
I downgraded back to GB .75 a couple of days ago and I no longer get the awake bug at all.

Battery life has doubled with the same usage and same apps (2days compared to 1 on ICS).
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] conalt:
From time to time it seems to get more common. Try turning the phone off and on again, or better yet force a restart with power and volume up.

I find this normally helps my phone start behaving again if the wake ups get too excessive
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Ryknex:
Well After The Firmware Update, This App Is Draining My Battery A Lot, At The Same Rate I Used To Have This App Without Any Issue In The Previous Firmware!

After A Whole Night Blinking By Battery Dropped From 90 To 30 to 40:( (It Had Dropped To 85 or 87 Before :laugh:)

And The Phone Was Heated!:eek:

Anyone Having This Issue??:crying:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] doministry:
Firstly stop writing in capitals, it's disaster to read.

And - which app?!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] enrique71:
Is the ICS proximity sensor bug also on GB .75 ?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Dpk1:
No, never had it on GB!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] enrique71:
Thanks. I've gone ahead and downgraded back to GB (.75). The proximity sensor bug is too much of a headache for me in ICS!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Dpk1:
Yeah, i'm too facing tough time on ICS (6.1.A.2.45) due to proximity sensor bug & other bugs! Myself downgraded to .75 GB many times, but I really like the ICS camera (better than GB) so come back to ICS even though i have buggy Quick launch! But no other issues with camera on ICS (no focussing issues). And yes, these bugs aren't there on GB roms, no proximity sensor bug, no QL bug, no BE bug!

I can only hope if sony somewhow gets bored of launching new phones every now and then, and focuses a bit more on the already released ones, maybe then we can see a bug free version of ICS (like GB) on our XS!

Ah Sorry Illumination Bar Notification!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] wello168:
I used that app as well and working just fine. Should you mess up with the app setting? Have been using the app since it first launch till now.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] orfeas92:
Will these phones(nxt) be updated to jelly bean??
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
AFAIK, all 2012 devices will be updated.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jonmorris:
Just got a Motorola RAZR i today (was at the London press launch where they were handed out) and it has quick launch too, which works every single time and in under a second!

I am so annoyed! How can Sony have messed this feature up?! The camera software has HDR too, plus video recording with the ability to take stills at the same time.

For the next week or two, I'm going to try using the RAZR over my Xperia S. It's quite impressive that the screen is the same size but the phone is so much smaller due to the edge-to-edge display (lower res though). I hope Sony will adopt this in the 2013 models.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] newalopez:
I'm on 6.1.A.2.45 and says I can update to 6.1.A.2.45 again, 0.1mb, pc companion required... as I'm unlocked I can't check what it is...

I'm from Turkey, probably Middle East or Asia, I don't know.

No, I'm not
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] racinghammock:
Just wanted to add my little things I experienced with the ICS update.

After scouring the forums I discovered that there were quite a few things bugged in ICS so I tried it out myself.

QL doesn't work properly, BE seems to be off (still trying to see a notable difference) and adding to the existing list; whenever I receive a call there's some noise coming from the phone. It's a slight screeching? I don't know how to properly describe it but I hear it whenever I'm on the phone with someone. The sound also goes away right after I end the call.

I'm also from Germany, if that helps at all.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] iSyed:
6.1.A.2.50 is Available to me too, i think this is for Middle east :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tel033:
I experienced that in gb when I use 2g. Don't know whats causing it

Changes?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] qqq12414:
Not for me, but I seem to be in the minority.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jonmorris:
Much as I loved the Xperia S (and still have it - two in fact!), I'm now using the Motorola RAZR i because it has its own dedicated camera button and quick launches in under a second EVERY SINGLE TIME. Battery is better and the camera is still pretty good (not quite as good, but I'm happy - and it has HDR mode).

Most important, the RAZR i doesn't drain loads of power overnight because I disabled Wi-Fi or forgot to lock it to a specific band, or <insert random reason>.

I have to say that having been let down too many times when wanting to take a photo quickly, and it either not launching or saying 'Memory Error' or whatever - I am confining the phone to my drawer until Sony updates the firmware to something that works 100%.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Lusterboi:
voice your issue about quick launch at the following link. its sony's forum discussion, it will be taken more seriously there.

http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/53257?tstart=30

the more we have, the better. most people are not aware of the camera quick launch bug.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] SavCom:
I've not noticed Sony Support take any real notice of these issues. Stopping them selling the Xperia T would hurt them more.

For release .453 I raised specific issues for Bluetooth streaming failures, Quick Launch failures and poorer WiFi/3G performance. All I got back as a response to all three was variations on this:

Really? Repairing the software magically cures their firmware bugs? C'mon! If this truly is the level of support directly from Sony then how do you expect them to react to posts on a forum?

I went back to Gingerbread (and Sony will tell you that you have to send the unit in to the repair centre to do this!!) and had No Further Issues. I've just flashed back to .45 and while Bluetooth and WiFi/3G issues are fixed, the Quick Launch STILL doesn't work and now we have the proximity bug too.

Great stuff, Sony. Well done. [/sarcasm]
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jonmorris:
Sony Ericsson regularly used to suggest a repair, presumably to buy some time before having to acknowledge a fault. Sony has obviously opted to adopt the same practice!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] samgotit:

The main problem is with the email app.

The problem is that it has absurd limitation of 25 emails which can be stored on the phone.

It means that even if I download 200 emails with bodies to my phone, with the next login/refresh everything is deleted and only 25 emails are left on the phone.

This makes the whole app totally useless.

Completely unprofessional and idiotic.

This happens both on POP3 and IMAP.

The person responsible for this design decision is a complete idiot.

Can we finally have a profi app??!! Why can't the user decide what he has on the device!! Why every other 3rd party app allows these things! Why am I forced to use other email apps!

Not to mention the camera Quick launch or bravia engine bugs. I've had a rather disappointing experience regarding Sony software updates so far :(. So, got myself another smartphone! And no more sony for me untill they put their thinking hats on and put a bit more effort on software updates!

any ideas when to wait?:D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tsukeyomi:
What if i flashed another region? I didn't but what if i'll do it someday?

How will i be able to make sure which SI number i actually have?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Ambroos:
SI number isn't listed in software, only on the hardware. The number in build.prop is the customization version, it's related to it but software dependant. The updates happen by customization version, not SI.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] realfelix:
now it says the server isn't accessible lol :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Ambroos:
You can't. Once you use Flashtool to flash firmware your SI isn't identifyable anymore. It's not listed in firmware. But an SI always has a linked customization version. I looked things up, posted the customization list (four countries) for today's update a few pages back.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tsukeyomi:
So what we actually have to see and Sony gave us are the customization versions and not the SI?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] nemer12:
so I'm totatly confused :O ..

my si number is 1257-2735

or that 7802 ?? :| sorry :(
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Ambroos:
Sony gave us the SI, not the customization.

Every SI has a customization, but one customization can have multiple SI's.

For example take Generic NL (with cust 1993):

LT26i Customized NL 1257-1993	1257-0957 LT26i/Mobile Phone/NT1-1_EP850/Customized NL

LT26i Customized NL 1257-1993	1257-0975 LT26i/Mobile Phone/NT1-1_EP850/Customized NL

The second set of numbers is the SI. Both 0975 and 0957 have the 1993 customization. That means that if Sony pushed the update for 1993, they add 0975 and 0957 to the list. It's a bit weird but hey.

4.)Switch of the mobile. Open Flashtool. Click the flash icon(first icon). Click flashmode radio button and click ok.

5.) Browse and select the directory of your downloaded ftf file.

6.) Uncheck wipe user data if u dont want ur dats to be deleted. Click Ok
