About the splash proof flaw, you can check it for yourself to make sure, by looking at the two bottom corners of the tablet. If you see a tiny gap between the aluminum back panel and the black edge of the front, you can be sure that your back panel needs replacing:
[Sony Tablet S] Ubichinon:
Damn, thank you sir, looking for a proper photo of a faulty tablet for quite some time. Luckily, my tablet isnt faulty, i only have the creaking back :D
[Sony Tablet S] Zer0K3wL:
Glad mine is fine then, no cracking either.

Anyway I resumed sleep and wifi was gone even tough i am on release 6b

It would't connect unless disabling wifi and turning back on.

Guess they did't fully fix it yet.

edit: just resumed from sleep no shutdown to check what eats batery and no responds from tablet sudenly yep shutdown again.

Stressing out like mad again my ears start to hurt.

Yep tumor in my head is growing i guess from all the stress if had last year with 90% off what i buy being junk.
[Sony Tablet S] degraaff:
Just use your warrenty.
[Sony Tablet S] Zer0K3wL:
Its a software issue........
[Sony Tablet S] degraaff:
It's not certain. I've read about someone who brought in his tablet for a similar problem, and he concluded that they replaced the motherboard.
[Sony Tablet S] Zer0K3wL:
But mine only crash in certain conditions

If it was motherboard issue then device would always crash as long its verry intensive task.

Anyway i think 4.1 will fix everything.

Did some research on android 4.0.3 and 4.0.4 fixes all those issues.

Really wonder why sony did't just release the tablet straight away with 4.0.4 or better 4.1

Edit: like 2-3 days without isseus now
[Sony Tablet S] Zer0K3wL:
Been stable for 3-4 day's now

getting lot timeouts tough did sony do a update to any off their software lately ?
[Sony Tablet S] degraaff:
Not that I know of, but my tablet has also been a lot more stable since I did a factory reset. It also used to have the shut down during sleep issue, which is gone now.
[Sony Tablet S] Zer0K3wL:
Well yesterday it shutdown again.

I hope sony hurry up with next small update or jelly bean.even better.

Cous jelly bean should fix these shutdowns and wifi problems.
[Sony Tablet S] degraaff:
Jellybean would be nice, but it's just sad that there will be no more Flash support since Adobe abandonned Flash development for mobile devices and ICS was there last Android version for which Adobe developed flash.

My tablet also shut down yesterday, but I noticed it only happens when watching a movie using hardware decoder. So either there is a problem in drivers for the hardware decoder, or the hardware itself is faulty.
[Sony Tablet S] Zer0K3wL:
Flash just eats batery i won't really miss it as long i can acces html5 video player on video sites i'm alright.

Meanwhile if messed with sony remote and i really am loving this tablet now.

Had some issues at first but holding tablet straight its real easy to learn remote commands.
[Sony Tablet S] CoolApps:
There is a chance that there is flash player on JB since the adobe flash player lib files are their.
[Sony Tablet S] Zer0K3wL:
my widgets seems to bug a lot refresh like endlessly glitching thru apps often to anyone else have this ?
[Sony Tablet S] Zer0K3wL:
Just Had 5 shutdowns in a row play music app stuck in updating loop untill I uninstalled It Ans Reinstalled It Now My Input is Bugged Doing auto capslock.

I Hate Sony.....
[Sony Tablet S] Zer0K3wL:
For those that are not having issues ever at all do you use power saving option for backlight etc ?

Acording to tweakers.net it does more then reduce backlight.
[Sony Tablet S] sebasgl1:
more like what?
[Sony Tablet S] rspy:
I have too some crashes/reboot/artifacts with the Youtube app... but looks like software issues.. (video driver) i have the same problem in my sony ericsson mini pro..
[Sony Tablet S] Mr.President:
I am also experiencing constant shutdown and freezes with online videos in any browser. Tried chrome, dolphin and still get a lot of problems playing videos, sometimes they are not loading at all, constantly lag and shutdown the tablet. However everything else seems really perfect and smooth. Apps, games, music, films everything is fine. I hope JB will fix this problems but its not a big dissapointment to me anyways, I'm going to switch to Tablet Z when its available. The screen needs more resolution. How comes that Sony made so beatifull device and its not capable of watching videos online. My Xperia S has no problems with it at all.
[Sony Tablet S] Zer0K3wL:
No idea but 1 review tested with it on and off batery saving.

And it went to 4 hours with option off and 12 hours with it on.

So can't be just from backlight.

Think its enables to power saving gpu wise to.
[Sony Tablet S] Zer0K3wL:
Try viewing some flash video's i mean like http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2012/158/6/e/every_day_i__m____by_zeurel-d52lwgi.swf for example ?

For me i see glitches like lines popping up randomly while being fine if don't fullscreen.

Anyway what you describe is exactly what i have except no lag it just instantly freeze while it sometimes keeps playing when exit fullscreen it stops responding sudenly and shutdown.

edit: Higher resolution also means something becomes bit slower cous higher res is more demanding on gpu
[Sony Tablet S] sebasgl1:
I hope that with 1gb of ram, and the jellybean hardware decoding for all the interface, now our devices could get not just jellybean and key lime pie,

There is a couple of things that the next update for our tablet needs to accomplished, 1, reboots, 2, hw bugs, 3, improve the sio of the processor so the tablet can awake more quickly, improve battery use... in sleep the tablet can do it great, but using it is takiking a lot of power including simple tasks
[Sony Tablet S] Zer0K3wL:
Saw review now that describes the issues xperia is having perfectly asswell now like shutdowns etc.

i hope if jellybean come out issues persist that sony do mass recall.

Obviously their went more wrong then producing the tablet then just splash proofing then
[Sony Tablet S] Ubichinon:
I experienced said issues when i first got the tablet, but now, things are pretty solid. Ive havent had a reset in about 3 weeks i guess... Also battery time has improved a bit, i used to charge the tablet every night, now i use it about 2-3 days before charging..
[Sony Tablet S] Zer0K3wL:
Just did another factory reset disabling backup video acts corrupt again and such its safe to asume tablet will shutdown still tough did't happen yet.

I'm acting retarded now and keeping tabs open aplications etc just to stress tablet to much.

Now if had 1 occasion that browser stopped responding but for some reason the system keeps responding in background now before it would also crash and cause tablet to shutdown.

Will keep trying to strain tablet now see if i can make it shutdown.

Now my youtube app is again messed up fullscreen button is gone :|

And it seems that google made avg antivirus free unavaible now for this tablet.

Also noticed now lot aplications get cached instead put in ram leaving 700 MB off my ram clear.

Do you browser at all with tablet or you just use it as toy with aplications and for remote ?

cous 3 day's i find hard to believe.
[Sony Tablet S] rspy:
For the youtube problem.. go to settings, app. Select youtube and uninstall updates .. and do not update it again.. this a common problem with this version of youtube app.. in any device. Plus the old youtube is waaaay better and sexy. Also 3 days is a lot, my tablet stays on for 20 hours.. i use dolphin, walkman and ez reader a lot!

Sent from Sony Xperia Tablet.
[Sony Tablet S] Zer0K3wL:
i primarly browse and i lose like 20% batery least in 1 session.

while it sleeps i lose out like another 20% over a whole day

for rest i just use it as remote.

can last 2 day's asswell but 3 day's no way maybe if barely use it like only as remote.

I got cradle now tough i leave it on my cradle while i'm at my computer.
[Sony Tablet S] Ubichinon:
Of course i browse. I check a couple of websites every day, id say i do about 30-40 mins of browsing + 45 mins of reading and 30 mins of games.. I dont use remote at all to be honest. On weekends i also use it for watching youtube videos and embedded flash videos.

As said, last time i checked i had 5h15min screen time with 3 days running and 24% battery left....

But i cant say i use it all the time since, doing all my browsing etc from the tablet.
[Sony Tablet S] Mr.President:
I have enabled e-mail sync and push notifications for social networks and I keep WiFi always on. For me it's only one full day with 5 hours screen time.
[Sony Tablet S] Zer0K3wL:
Seems low are you using apps like facebook cous they eat damn much battery.

I sync everything to but i can get 2 day's out off it easy screentime no idea never really checked.
[Sony Tablet S] sfex3best:
Yes the Xperia tablet s is very glitchy indeed.

I mean I have an hdmi wire to watch things on my tv but even that constantly freezes... The latest update on the YouTube app is just awful too it freezes 24/7.

I hope sony improve all this on the new update because its really annoying.
[Sony Tablet S] SWFlyerUK:
I hope Sony aren't seeing this device as a white elephant and therefore there's no need to update it.

If the device recieved any update it'd be JellyBean, next week (fingers crossed) where we can only hope these issues are fixed.
[Sony Tablet S] rspy:
@Zer0K3wL Do you still have problem with the wifi?

btw.. this is how my chrome looks today.. :(
[Sony Tablet S] Zer0K3wL:
Don't known i installed adobe air and tablet crashed shutdown again now i uninstalled adobe air think its related to adobe air atleast.

Next week will get jellybean anyway i'm sure its fixed if not sony gonna be in deep **** cous i will keep nagging till its fixed replacement or not.
[Sony Tablet S] stna1981:
Meanwhile, some blogs also got aware of this issue:

mobilegeeks.de/schwerer-software-bug-sony-xperia-tablet-s-fahrt-selbststandig-runter/

flat.de/news/tablets/2442-sony-xperia-tablet-s-leidet-unter-willkuerliche-shutdowns.html

I also contacted Sony about this, but no clear info from their side. That's pathetic. It's a severe bug which makes the tablet in parts unusuable. For me, it happens not only when playing videos, but also when listening to web radio, using camera, browser or mail.

Has anyone some update on this or Jelly Bean. If this issue is not fixed soon, Sony will have seen the last money from me...
[Sony Tablet S] Zer0K3wL:
I think the old tablet s suffer from it also.

Its sony's fault for releasing this tablet with android 4.0.3 not least 4.0.4 or higher.

Will see soon if this gets fixed with next android update or not hope it does if not sony gonna get lot trouble from me.

Jellybean is next week between 11-17 probably
[Sony Tablet S] Zer0K3wL:
My chrome never looked like that for me.

Flash usualy has some glitches if i fullscreen it.

If you touch flash element hold finger on it you get a fullscreen button and box.

Try using it with this link http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2012/158/6/e/every_day_i__m____by_zeurel-d52lwgi.swf

Or similar flash movies like this.

For me it starts glitching after some time
[Sony Tablet S] degraaff:
Don't take firmware release dates from Sony so literal, because you're going to be disappointed. The ICS update for Xperia 2011 phones was announced to be rolled out in april 2012, and, well, it only started to roll out in july, three months later than announced.
[Sony Tablet S] SWFlyerUK:
Yes, but the JellyBean update arrived on the T & V before schedule.

The Xperia Tablet S has been out since September, JellyBean is now long overdue.
[Sony Tablet S] Zer0K3wL:
Think i read some forums that would come in december early january for xperia tablet s atleast.

Then 2e week off feb.

Now if even heared the tablet s the old one getting it asswell.

Just hope they release jellybean for xperia tablet s now this week from 11-17

Don't really care if they release it for the old one still hoping they do if not this week verry soon because if they don't who say's that xperia tablet s might end up same faith in future with updates.
[Sony Tablet S] Zer0K3wL:
This is what i get before my tablet shuts down http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulICmJg20e8&feature=youtu.be

I did't manage to record a shutdown yet so far planning to do so to demonstrate how unstable this tablet is.

Its verry easy to re produce this state also just skip thru the video like normaly do and keep going thru more and more video's.

New vid where it also shutdown http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-XluKRvNa8
[Sony Tablet S] Zer0K3wL:
Found something disturbing.

Take a look how simple timer app impact performance.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzD87XqvUJI&feature=youtu.be

Especialy opengl performance is going from 55 fps to like 27 fps
[Sony Tablet S] Moscow Desire:
Thread Cleaned

So it seems everything was going fine in the thread, until as usual, somebody had to add their "2 cents worth".

Folks, there's no reason to start a thread flaming. If you do not like the topic of the the thread, then simply move along to something else.

Keep it Civil please!

MD
[Sony Tablet S] degraaff:
It's probably just the tablet switching its CPU usage mode to low-power because a simple 2D app is in the foreground when you use a small app.
[Sony Tablet S] Zer0K3wL:
i just tryit advanced wifi lock again as did't act as weird anymore with app enabled, however still got issues and got a shutdown.

using quick ICS Browser at the momment which works best so far.

chrome is the worst because it don't support flash and flash video player is more stable tough experience similar issues.

I notice a trend asswell now the first video either bugs or not visible, but then the 2e video you load cause's the shutdown.

So you don't always see video's go corrupt like you see in video i linked.

I tryit keeping apps open at like max 1 but that does't really matter either, lets hope jellybean is comming least this month.
[Sony Tablet S] degraaff:
In an earlier post you said that you didn't care about Flash, which will stop working completely when Jellybean arrives.

I suggest you stop stressing yourself and your tablet with this obsessive bug grinding and wait until Android 4.1 arrives, because you're not helping your TMJ and for all you know, you could be damaging your tablet by stressing it intentionally like this.
[Sony Tablet S] Zer0K3wL:
Really last time i heared flash was still working with jelly bean just not supported anymore, anyway like i say'd before i don't really care for flash support.
[Sony Tablet S] Ubichinon:
Am i the only getting problems with Quick ICS browser? Getting force close, without any warning, freeze or error message. Sometimes when i reopen it, it has some of the previous tabs ive used still open, sometimes i lose all info..
[Sony Tablet S] Zer0K3wL:
Y its buggy I had my first reboot.

I clicked maps on google from quick ics browser and asked me to launch the android app off google maps, then bam reboot not a shutdown.

Would stop using anyway when update hits, it has known isseus with jellybean,
[Sony Tablet S] adndev:
Video and Gtalk problem

hello

i have the same problem with my Xperia tablet S . When i use html5 video on Chrome or on the native browser the tablet shutdown . And the second problem is when using Gtalk for about one hour ... the app crash and can't re make a call .

Have you the same problem ?!

Hope that those bugs will be fixed !
[Sony Tablet S] Zer0K3wL:
Some one from sony looking into the issue.

http://community.sony.com/t5/Sony-T...ast-3-times-a-day-during-video/m-p/88625#M515

a week or less not sure if he means tablet issue or my forum account issue.

k confirmed he's looking into tablet issue
[Sony Tablet S] blackj30:
Can you guys root this thing?
[Sony Tablet S] Ubichinon:
No, we cant. We are waiting for JB release and hoping it will be rootable.
[Sony Tablet S] Cat McGowan:
That depends on the version of Android currently installed on the tablet. Read Stifilz's The Sony Tablet FAQ Thread.
[Sony Tablet S] Zer0K3wL:
Some dude on sony forums got told by sony phone support that update is tomorow reported 8 hours ago
[Sony Tablet S] Ubichinon:
Last day of february would be still ok, yeah :D That way theyve kept the promise :D
[Sony Tablet S] Zer0K3wL:
i just hope it ain't some one trolling over at sony forums.
[Sony Tablet S] Ubichinon:
Me too, theyve trolled us enough with unrootable tablets that have tons of bugs :D
[Sony Tablet S] Zer0K3wL:
Had weird corruption going on again, asumed tablet would freeze and shutdown again when i open new app or go into another vid, and yep it did.

I see that as a verry verry good excuse tbh to keep nagging at sony to fix stability issues tbh, its their job afterall, because they don't allow us to root tablet normaly their no excuse for them either.

17:13 right here now if it would come i would expect it right about now and 21:00
[Sony Tablet S] degraaff:
They never made a promise. They made an estimation, and estimations are flexible.
[Sony Tablet S] Zer0K3wL:
Well looks like no update today either doubt it hit during weekend.

I see but first they promised shortly after launch of tablet, 6-7 month's well so flexable, then februari which again they can't meet.

lemme make up estimation when jellybean is comming out, i figure by q4 2013 is a far better estimation, i least won't have to keep my hopes up, heck i guess i just file case here in holland at consuwijzer which will breath down deep down sony's neck, if got enough complains for sony that they surely willing to investigate.

Also i think we waited long enough already.

If you think thats a problem then seriously don't care its sony's fault for promising us an update shortly after launch to begin with then in februari.

i wan't these issues like shutdown issues to be fixed already to begin with, if it was't for that i be more patient.

also knowning if had 3D glasses from sony 1 year ago or less TDG-br750 where having issues to which present in all their br750 glasses, a blinking led that bleeds through glass right into your eyes. so i'm pretty pissed off to begin with already at sony, because they never solved this issue at all.
[Sony Tablet S] degraaff:
As long as they didn't announce a deadline for the update, you don't have a grounded argument to sue them. Again, they only gave estimations of a release time that would be achieved under ideal conditions. They are probably discovering bugs while testing the new firmware, and postpone the update until the bugs are filtered out. The ICS update for Xperia 2011 phones was more than 6 months off schedule. You need to stop panicking. It's better to receive a perfect update off schedule, than to receive a crippled update on time. The update will come to you when it's ready.
[Sony Tablet S] Zer0K3wL:
Shutdown 3 times in a row in short period new record!!!!
[Sony Tablet S] Zer0K3wL:
when i told them about update being yesterday they responded like this.

told them that any app that can play video and especialy in browser even through flash player.
[Sony Tablet S] shjiemon:
I might be way out of order here, as I know there's a lot of people not happy with the app I'm about to mention here on android. But I use firefox as my standard browser on my Xperia Tab S, and I am actually very happy with it. Btw the swf video linked in this forum also played flawlessly in Firefox, and I did experience problems in both Chrome as well as the stock browser (the latter not playing at all).

PS. I'm also experiencing several bugs, and also want them fixed in a update (Jelly Bean, where art thou?). And I've also contacted Sony, and like so many of you I am not happy with their "customer support".

[Sony Tablet S] Zer0K3wL:
http://community.sony.com/t5/Sony-T...uring-video/td-p/67353/highlight/false/page/2

where got promised info in less then a week

and i think due this thread many customers have returned their tablet for refund probably.

https://www.sony.nl/discussions/thread/170347?start=0&tstart=0

it be intresting to known if some one can get hands on xperia tablet z to see if it has same issues, it would't suprise me at all, ofc have to consider it gets jellybean at launch so maybe it won't suffer these issues.
[Sony Tablet S] Zer0K3wL:
i just filed complaint btw at consuwijzer btw, for people that are from holland you can file complaint to at www.consuwijzer.nl

if you still wan't file complaint find right authority for it in your own country and file complaint about sony over their.

edit: before i forgot

http://community.sony.com/t5/Sony-T...-3-times-a-day-during-video/td-p/67353/page/2

its just silent over at other forums btw, here they still kindy active.
[Sony Tablet S] alkhemista:
Raise as much hell as possible, Sirs. This product was not free for it had a premium price tag on it........ just didn't come with the premiumness.

How does one in the United States go about getting a refund?

Sony can kiss it's own toosh if they expect me to live with a broken product. I want some accountability...
[Sony Tablet S] Zer0K3wL:
well here in holland if store can't fix it and sony refuse to fix it be automaticly entitled for refund, problem is i don't want one i want sony to fix it and restore my faith in sony.
[Sony Tablet S] Zer0K3wL:
testing again disabling apps even movies app found out also that disabled apps are moved to bottom off list at setting > apps then all

From same list you can disable a lot more also.

Anyway so far if disabled following apps

TV program player movies devices com.sony.walkman.wmsetup3 com.sony.walkman.media.service adobe flash player 11.1

Also think it might be possible that adobe flash player triggers a set off events that leads to video corruption and then causing tablet to shutdown next video you play in any app.

Anyway just been testing videoplayback for 2 hours mx player no corruption or shutdowns to soon to say if issues are caused by adobe flash player 11.1

tough i'm starting to think that the app is corrupted since ics update perhaps.

Anyway pure speculation, anyway don't matter to much does't hurt to test everything.
[Sony Tablet S] Velvet2000:
May I suggest the following:

a) For the Freezing Browser: Open Browser (even the Stock Browser) > Menu > Settings > Privacy and Security > Clear cache/history/Data/Cookies, where necessary

b) For Freezing YouTube: App Drawer > Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > All > now look for YouTube and Clear cache/Clear data/ and possible force Stop.

These are but temporary fixes until a more permanent fix becomes available
[Sony Tablet S] Ubichinon:
Clearing cache and history in the browser does nothing. This is caused by a RAM management issue, where the internal RAM gets full and the tablet needs to reset.

Only solution so far is to use other browsers, like Firefox or Opera (ive had the issue with Chrome aswell)
