omg...wtf??? keep us updated :/ :(
[Xperia SP General] redandwhitearmy:
Do a hard reset
[Xperia SP General] slimshaddy.:
Yeah I saw a video earlier and got to know about the reset button. Did that and phone is back to normal.
[Xperia SP General] tehfunny:
That is nothing. Yesterday while updating the software from Laptop using Sony's PC Companion, I fell asleep. And later when I woke up, my eyes were red and so I just closed my laptop and kept the phone aside and slept off. Then when I woke up in the morning, I noticed that my phone was OFF and It wouldn't start. Just displays Sony and goes off, and then I realized that the software got corrupted during last night due to my negligence. Hence took it to Sony Service center and got it fixed within 2 hours. No data is lost, all is back to normal and I am happy :D

The camera is just f'ng awesome :) amazing camera. Much better than the arc.

there was a roof party today and we had couple of halogen lights and all the pics are noise free. Every single one of them.

Secondary camera sucks. Don't know why sony just give a vga camera. My friend was teasing me showing her 620 front camera which was miles ahead from the SP.

all are personal pics so can't share them. But I was very happy today. Attaching just 1 pic.

You should be happy that it got rectified so easily. I too had to stay awake till 3am last night for the update.
[Xperia SP General] shooter_benny:
Can you tell us/me what kind of update came out for the Xperia SP yesterday, please?

Maybe a SW fix for the camera?!

I also dont understand why Sony uses just an old-dated 0,3 MP (640x480 px) front camera in this price segment.
[Xperia SP General] slimshaddy.:
Maybe they did, maybe not. Before update I only tried the camera in thr showroom. Will click in showroom once again that will tell if the camera has been improved or not.
[Xperia SP General] Kunwar.g:
That will be the best.and then if you could post both pre and post here
[Xperia SP General] hybridic:
If they give everything perfect in this range who is going to buy Xperia Z /ZL ?

Chipset performance is comparable to XZ because of 720p display , so they just compromised with the cameras . Thats business bro :)

---------- Post added at 10:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:05 AM ----------

Wow finally someone saying that its good :victory: . I was totally against getting that phone until now . Please post more pictures soon , just wanna see the camera performance under fair light . I dont care how "bad" it performs in low light :D

If its better than arc , then its perferct for the price range .

As good as the ZL. Haven't compared to others, but not the best at the highest volume, but not bad either. Have only tested on Music.

Does xperia sp has white magic as in xperia p?
[Xperia SP General] sHanKzZz:
I ordered mine from Indiatimes Shopping for... wait for it... INR 21990

w00t!

Yes il get it a bit late, its already available at most stores, and indiatimes still has it on pre-order, but hey, 22k is what i was gonna be paying for the xperia sl last month!

I actually wanted to wait for a few more days, atleast until a few more trusted reviews came out (gsmarena) but looking at that price it was pure impulse.

I am seriously worried about its camera performance though, seems downright pathetic for a phone like this one (Exmor RS, etc)

(http://www.gsmarena.com/piccmp.php3?idType=1&idPhone1=5364&idPhone2=4894&idPhone3=4238)
[Xperia SP General] pratyushanand:
Don't worry that much. Camera is good overall but low light performance is average. Phone is a performer and a looker :D You wont regret buying it. I got mine yesterday and i cant keep my hands off it ( battery is taking a significant because of that :D)
[Xperia SP General] sHanKzZz:
I will still forever and ever curse Sony for not launching Xperia V india... its available in the grey market with seller warranty, but we all know what that is... and then there was that scare regarding the Sleep of Death bug... it wouldv been the perfect phone for me and i was willing to stretch my budget a bit to get it... Damn You Sony...
[Xperia SP General] DooMLoRD:
i just tested out the device today in Pune...

its awesome! especially for any price < 25k
[Xperia SP General] sHanKzZz:
thats good to hear man

this is going to be my first Android... and one prob im gonna face is that i dont have internet where i stay, dunno how many big huge apps and games il manage to download with my 2G connection
[Xperia SP General] pratyushanand:
I got mine for 25 K:p.
[Xperia SP General] sHanKzZz:
i have ordered a sandisk 32gb class 10 micro sd card with this phone.

another concern with this phone will be the 5.4GB user accessible internal memory... some games and apps run into gigabytes! any way around that?

[Xperia SP General] lovemyarc:
Go to settings -> call settings -> set equalizer to bright and disable speaker voice enhancement. It greatly improved the in call volume on my Z.

Indiatimes starts shipping Xperia SP

Got a Message that Indiatimes shipped my XSP from delhi. Now the wait begins. Should get it in hand by 3 days as per them. First flight tracking confirms that they have shipped from delhi. Have to recieve in mumbai. I had booked for 22k during prebook offer.

If they deliver in time then 5 stars to Indiatimes for their service,
[Xperia SP General] Kunwar.g:
Congrats
[Xperia SP General] xPeRiA_RaVi:
in Gsmarena review pictures are looking extremely over saturated in superior auto mode(look at the 2n pic).http://www.gsmarena.com/showpic.php...camera/gsmarena_002.jpg&idReview=924&idPage=8

colors are ok in normal mode but it lost some details .Sony is doing something bad in camera department

video performance is good comparable to ZL, but not in low light condition(too much noise) ,and is there any HDR mpde for video :rolleyes:

can someone post, some pic taken from other camera software if it improves the quality.
[Xperia SP General] hybridic:
As far as the official specs are concerned then it shouldnt have HDR for videos .Its only limited to stills .

But if gsmarena has it (clearly written on left pane in those screen-shots with coss mark ) then maybe its coming up in the updates .

[Xperia SP General] axsd9id:
patience my friend..

I had booked on 24th april using flash2404 code. and still i got just a mail frm them. will only truly be satisfied when i get the XSP in my hands and check it myself.. U can't trust these buggers anyway..
[Xperia SP General] axsd9id:
got the s

Hahaha got the sp for 22k camera sucks big time
[Xperia SP General] slimshaddy.:
I disagree. With correct settings and normal lighting camera is good. Just took this under a street light in night mode.
[Xperia SP General] sHanKzZz:
was just wondering... the launch of this phone has been delayed in the UK by 2 weeks or so... Possibly rectifying camera issues on unreleased handsets? (while unloading inferior stuff in india, wont be the first this is happeing), coz it seems impossible that their claimed new tech, Exmor RS, can perform so mediocerly...

still no idea about the status of my phone, by when they will get a new shipment...

:(
[Xperia SP General] slimshaddy.:
it's not the hardware , it's the software :( sony's software have a lot of bugs including the camera. sensor and everything is fine.

anyways just a suggestion. be careful while unplugging the charger. if you take it out like a zig zag movement , the port can be affected.
[Xperia SP General] sHanKzZz:
Now that the Xperia L has come on preorder, and there is still no sight of Indiatimes delivering my SP to me anytime soon, I was wondering, why am I even buying the SP? the Xperia L definitely looks better... its abt 4-5k cheaper, inferior display and processor/graphics... but it looks way better...

thoughts anyone? :-|
[Xperia SP General] redandwhitearmy:
U damaged port ? :eek:

No... SP is intelligent choice... U will get best performance from s4 pro..it will have a lot of battery time coz of huge batery.... Stay future proof i say ... But if u change phones often then xperia L is not bad at all...

[Xperia SP General] slimshaddy.:
No mate. Port's fine. I just wanted to give a heads up bcz I didnt face any problem with my arc.
[Xperia SP General] lovemyarc:
Arc was a gem from Sony ERICSSON. I doubt the good old days of best build quality are over :(

I'm afraid of seeing all that broken glass's posts :rolleyes:

I wish, If I'm wrong.
[Xperia SP General] xPeRiA_RaVi:
so i am going to buy one tomorrow , finally i found this best value for money after hours of browsing, should i expect at least ICS 5.0 from sony for SP :highfive:
[Xperia SP General] slimshaddy.:
Can you please share the link of the broken glass thread.

Ics was 4.0. Currently ph runs on 4.1.2 and I think next will be 4.2
[Xperia SP General] lovemyarc:
it's not allowed. you can search it yourself. cracked screen on xperia Z page of xda.
[Xperia SP General] hybridic:
If thats the case , please try a different camera app and tell us what you feel . People like me are just afraid of the camera , results arent satisfactory so far . :(

Sony supplies sensors to samsung and apple . But cant make a good camera for itself .That case, Sony is Totally retarded !
[Xperia SP General] slimshaddy.:
Yeah I did but many members are saying it can be false claims since there are no pics of the same. Xperia arc had housing crack problems and it was reported by many with pics.

Ok I will download apps today and will update and seriously dont underatand why sony cant fix all the issues. Arc had the same problem.
[Xperia SP General] sHanKzZz:
hey, can i get your order number please? those retards still dont know by when they will be able to ship me the phone, were asking for the order number when i told them others who had ordered from indiatimes had received the phone...

3002248604 order date is 24/04/2013
[Xperia SP General] sHanKzZz:

this is bad man, the whole purpose of a preorder is that you get your product in time, they are now saying il have to wait till 21st may atleast...

oops sorry i mean can we get update till android 5.0(lime pie)

---------- Post added at 09:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:11 PM ----------

Got my SP today from sony store at 24k :D

good phone but accessories provided with this is not ok , charger(EC450) taking long time to charge my phone (probably coz of big battery) . and headphone (MH410) is not fully adjustable for my ears(too big) :mad:

ok i m using my phone from 6-7 hours continuously and battery life is looking too good for me + excellent performance ( already installed 40 apps)

Antutu score --16296

quadrent - 8043

gsmarena review is looking exact in my case -- screen has some yellowish colors and brightness is low in compare to my old Xperia ray,poor black level (almost gray) . video playback is not looking so exciting (my ray has much better sharpness) , screen quality is looking same as in Xperia S but far behind in compare to ZL . i compare Z,ZL,SP,SL,Ion side by side and ZL has the most beautiful screen ever made by sony .

in camera department sony is so bad software wise .SP takes sometime great pics but sometime so bad , Superior auto mode gives loversaturated colors every time, auto focus is not working exactly, and noise level is too high even in medium light condition. :(

anyway i need to try it more but closeup is looking decent sometime
[Xperia SP General] hybridic:
Congrats man :) Waiting for a proper review .... may be some pics from camera in normal lighting . And is screen quality comparable to Super Amoled ?
[Xperia SP General] ramcool789:
Screen quality?

hello guyz, i would like to know how is the screen quality outdoor and indoor, from those of you who have bought this phone :D , also if you could by any chance compare it with some other phone (screen quality only) like XS for example and give feedback that would be great!:D
[Xperia SP General] axsd9id:
Xperia SP review

Screen quality is great as per my usage. No issues in Indoor/ Outdoor visibility, I have posted a Full review here hxxp://indiansight.com/2013/05/04/sony-xperia-sp-review-inside-out-real-world-review/ pls check for further details. Pics taken from Xperia SP being uploaded

really bad if u r getting on 21st May, better cancel the order and get it at 24k now or get Xperia L if you like that. Prices in market may get down to 22k by 21st May.
[Xperia SP General] hybridic:
Wow ! thats a horrible camera . My Corby takes better pictures :D
[Xperia SP General] xPeRiA_RaVi:
oversaturated photos are not due to the camera but because of album app . i tried some other gallery apps and the photos are totally different. if it is only my case i am not sure but other SP owner can u please check it. but overall camera produce little oversaturated pics

---------- Post added at 10:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:21 AM ----------

i will post some pics when i finalize my experience with camera.:good:

there is no big difference between S and SP display . outdoor visibility is just ok but better then Amoled and it produces some soft colors and lacks some sharpness ( which is so good on my xperia ray), overall if u tried Xperia S then this is nearly same screen or a little improvement.
[Xperia SP General] slimshaddy.:
you have to have correct settings in low light photos. superior auto doesn't work great in low light. check my samples. there's also 180-200% crop from a pic.
[Xperia SP General] ramcool789:
Owww, that's really horrible...:(
[Xperia SP General] bipinm007:

Also, have u updated ur phone .There is a new update available in sony's site

[Xperia SP General] slimshaddy.:
this is by far the worst review i have read so far.

would you care to explain this.

yeah right. like sony has a different play store than other mobiles.

i talked for a continuous 3 hours on this phone. i didn't feel anything.

buy a tripod stand for you phone. seems like you were brushing your teeth while taking the pics. so much shakiness .

wow. amazing. kudos to this comparison. you are comparing your 5 years old phone with today's 720p full touch screen phone. just amazing.

wasted my time to read the full review.
[Xperia SP General] xPeRiA_RaVi:
some snaps from my gallery...1st-from album app

2nd-from quickpic app

I think there is some problem on album app. it shows too much saturation
[Xperia SP General] slimshaddy.:
turn off the bravia engine.
[Xperia SP General] xPeRiA_RaVi:
it works :laugh:

but i think there is still a problem . because i don't want to turn off bravia engine every time to view pictures
[Xperia SP General] slimshaddy.:
if you don't want to turn off then you have to live with that extra saturation ;)
[Xperia SP General] julianalexander:
i also had that experience viewing HD pictures in quickpic.. i must say stick to the default album app of sony,right?.. i deleted my quickpic anyway.. some complains i heard for that app.. some say not supported codecs for hd pics.. and also SP retails here in philippines on online for 16.990php so almost $400.. im using Z..

i have a touch on sp here in our country... i can confirm its all aluminum.. :good:

​
[Xperia SP General] slimshaddy.:
Can only compare with my arc. Reception seems good but yeah sometimes connection drops just like the arc

Why do you want to use led for 30 minutes? I dont use it for more than 5 minutes and cant say bout 30 min.

Did you take the 1st pic in superior auto? 2nd one seems more realistic.
[Xperia SP General] hybridic:
Well Obviously 2nd one . It looks more vivid . But the details in both are almost same , atleast at this resolution .

If you get time then Please Post some more Pics in normal light , using custom settings , superior auto mode is crap most of the time .

Just because I use my phone as replace of a torchlight and its not very comfortable if I forget only one time to turn led off it would break ;-(

Oh yeah and, I CAN'T BELIEVE SONY HAVE RELEASED YET ANOTHER DEVICE!!

THEY WILL LOSE OUT TO HTC THIS YEAR, WHY CAN'T THEY JUST CONCENTRATE THEY'RE EFFORTS ON THE Z.

SONY HAVE FAILED YET AGAIN :o

Sound quality is definitely going to be poor, coz Sony still haven't updated the flac or dac or crack!:confused:

ALSO WHAT'S WITH THE S4 PROCESSORS? So outdated!!
