Got the Xperia SP (black) today for wife. The ergonomics is so much better than my ZL :rolleyes:

Its running on 12.0.A.1.211 buid. When i connect to PCC it said that there was an update, but I was busy setting up contacts from her old Nokia 5233 and then transferring apps from my ZL (didn't want to waste internet bandwidth).

But now it says its on the latest Build and there is no updateon PCC. But the phone still has notification stating there is update 12.0.A.1.211 :confused:
[Xperia SP General] randomuseresato:
Has anyone here rooted Xperia SP with LOCKED bootloader ?
[Xperia SP General] javidben:
There is a newer build the 12.0.A.1.257, i've already updated mine but I dont see any difference with the old one

the phone's a bit fragile guys. Got the screen(digitizer) severely shattered due to excess pressure in a jean pocket. it still works fine but need to get it replaced. any idea how much it would cost? (India)

I wonna get this phone but just to check, did i get that right, the touscreen issue on some phone only shows up when on a flat surface right? So when taking it in you hand it dessapears? Becouse i dont put my phone on a flat surface a lot^^
[Xperia SP General] SunnyChrono6:
OP, my Xperia SP gets 7700 something in quadrant and I saw a review where it gets 8000 something. Please correct. And it's actually a high end device right now, considering devices which are supposed to be high end(Galaxy S3, One X+) get killed by it in benchmarks :P

Hi Everyone i am new to this forum and i have bought Xperia SP few Days back.

Phone is facing a serious problem of battery its draining too much due to MediaServer :(

Is there any solution to this problem?
[Xperia SP General] javidben:
damn that's expensive, cost almost half the price of the phone, good luck man.

try disabling autosync that usually helps, dont use auto task killers, and try using stamina mode. how many hours can your battery last? like normal usage, heavy usage and low usage. for me

heavy usage : 6 - 7 hours (gaming, videos, streaming, hotspot, and others)

normal usage : 12+ hours (music, light browsing, tweeting, facebook)

low usage : 30+ hours (wifi off, mobile data off, only texting and note taking)

that's my usage, the scores that i got the first week I used my XSP
[Xperia SP General] ashis.kyal:
I also get around 7 hour with heavy usage (lots of gaming and wifi)

Edit: Stamina MOde is useful when phone is standby mode

MediaServer Taking Up large amount of battery

Got Xperia Sp As a replacement for my ion

I dont think so the price difference is huge compared to the ion and sp . Like i said they did'nt have stock of the ion for my replacement plus the ion had problems from day 6 of use. and i had to wait for three weeks for my ion to come back in stock so i spoke to the regional office and he offered the free upgrade to SP

The ion does have a much better screen eg led back light more on board Storage 16Gb compared to 8GB for the SP and Complete aluminum back cover and body i personal prefer the ion look.

The Xperia Sp starts to lose battery quickly when the screen is on. Thought battery backup test shows its much much better than my brothers SGS 2
[Xperia SP General] ashis.kyal:
Yes, there is a lot of battery drain when screen is turned on but this does not happens due to screen but it happens due to MediaServer.

It takes a large amount of battery. You can check it in Power Management>Battery Usage.

Xperia SP lockscreen issue

Hi,

Here's whats happening with my phone from past couple of days.

On screen navigation buttons (except for the Menu button). This problem wasn't there initially. I searched all over the phone for any kind of settings which will turn it off on the lockscreen. Could not find any.

Please help.
[Xperia SP General] panwala95:
No brother you can't

The op got a sp instead of a ion because at this time the ion has stopped being produced so in such a situation a phone which is higher or equal is given as replacement here the sp

But if in case you damage or rma your device you will get an sp itself
[Xperia SP General] ashis.kyal:
can anyone guide me how can i stop the cell broadcast messages in my X SP. it comes in every 5-10 minute and is very irritating while playing games or typing
[Xperia SP General] Sylvester lobo:
Can you provide a screen shot so i can figure out whats the problem exactly. So i can assist you

---------- Post added at 02:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:08 PM ----------

The Sony Xperia Ion is still in Production. Its was Just that They did not have fresh stock of the product. at the time it was possible to get the ion for Rupees 21500 Which put it in competition with crapy samsung galaxy grand Duos and it offered better spec than it so it was selling quick. Please stop you baseless comments. They first told me i had to pay extra for the xperia sp then i fought with the service center regarding this issue and i kept on following up with them finally they said they had stock of ion but was not in sale condition due to the box being broken so he said he could ship it to me if i approve of it i rejected it so finally he called me back the next day and offered me the upgrade.

Re: Xperia SP Officially Released

Wow

Pretty good considering that it Is dual core...
[Xperia SP General] Mahesh89:
Thank u, Thread Updated With Benchmark Result :good:
[Xperia SP General] slimshaddy.:
i don't think sony will launch it just for 24k. i'm guessing around 27k since Xperia SL costs 23500 rupees after so many months.

thanks for posting this,

can you tell me what all the colors mean ? and how can it score near HTC One x :eek:
[Xperia SP General] SEFanX10i:
^

It scores near Z, and blows away One X/One X+. They can score 6.5k max.

Simply because it uses a more powerful chip. Dual krait is superior to Quad A9 and the Adreno 320 GPU is massively superior to the One X's GPU.
[Xperia SP General] slimshaddy.:
so i guess it'll be a great buy right :) but still wanna ask this , file operations will be faster in htc one x right because it's quad core. sorry if question seems stupid, i don't know much about processors but i do know that more is not always better.
[Xperia SP General] viper001:
Color Bar:

from left to right: RAM, CPU integer, CPU Float, 2d, 3d, Database i/o, Sdcard write, sdcard read.
[Xperia SP General] SEFanX10i:
Nothing will be faster on One X. SP is superior to One X and Galaxy S3 in terms of everything. One X and GS3 uses previous generation hardware. Like how Ivybridge dual core i5 are faster than the first quad i7 CPUs
[Xperia SP General] slimshaddy.:
thanks.

wow that's good to know :) now i think i have to be up=to-date with processors and everything ;)
[Xperia SP General] tyrand3:

[Xperia SP General] MadManMark:
Im seeing on gsmarena it has a 2370mah battery? If thats true then wow, thats sick! But I'm a little skeptic, that would give it a slightly larger capacity than the XZ
[Xperia SP General] SEFanX10i:
^

It doesn;t. Z has 2400mAh battery. So SP's battery capacity is lesser than Z
[Xperia SP General] viper001:
Re: Xperia SP Officially Released_Updated with BenchMark Result

Yes. But not by much. With dual cores its should last longer than the Z.
[Xperia SP General] slimshaddy.:
mate are you forgetting the screen is 720p as against 1080p in XZ

screen size is also smaller than the XZ.

so battery backup will be really good :) another reason to go for the SP.

[Xperia SP General] championswimmer:
it has HDR for video too (OP needs an edit)
[Xperia SP General] Mahesh89:
There is no HDR video recording in Xperia SP :rolleyes:, u should cross check before pointing at anything bro :angel:
[Xperia SP General] TracerBullitt:
Yeah, the L has it, I believe, but not the SP (I'm sure I read it somewhere). Again, its difficult to understand how Sony figures which phone should get what feature. Its like they lack confidence in less devices with more features and just spread themselves thin...
[Xperia SP General] dympy:
Re: Xperia SP Officially Released_Updated with BenchMark Result

I just watched a review of the SP, and they showcased quite a lot of features. It seemed that the HDR mode is just some sort of toggle button in the camera app, so it could still be possible that it will also work in videos..

You can find the review here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=es7SBGwUVt8.

I'm still interested in this device, simply because I love Sony and my old trustworthy Xperia Pro seems to finally be dieing on me (broken micro-USB and audio jack, sometimes they work, sometimes they don't..), so yeah, this will probably be my next phone :D

Dympy.
[Xperia SP General] championswimmer:
although official word says nothing about HDR video I feel the camera sensors on SP and L are going to be same only.

This depends on your usage of the device and what you do so if its new it will not have information on how you use your phone. Mine 100% And stamina mode on will show 7 days. but it changes depends on your usage.

Guys please use antutu tester to check your battery and please post the score so we can have them Analise d and compare the results with each others xperia sp. Remember to charge the battery to 100% to get the best score

I got it last 1 month ago from Flipkart during a 5% discount offer for 23740 INR.

I had inquired in market about a week before that & the shopkeeper quoted 23800 INR as the final price. So I went for Flipkart. I paid 11740 while buying & remaining 12000 in 6 months EMI on credit card. Processing fee & interest was zero. They also gave a free flip case. Quality of the case is just ok but the fitting for buttons camera etc is absolutely right. So I feel it was a good deal for me. :cowboy:

Though I now see that there are other alternative sites which offer lower price, I feel no one can match the delivery time of Flipkart of just 3 days (it came from Delhi to Mumbai) after booking. Their customer support is great & they offer a 30 day replacement guarantee in case of any fault with the device. Packaging is superb too.

Why does my phone hang?

It has 1 gb ram, a dual core processor, but still it occassionally crashes if I open 2-3 tabs in Chrome or any other browser; or even play a high end game like World of Goo for more than 15-20 minutes? Though it does only take 2-3 seconds to resume back to normal but still why does it happen?
[Xperia SP General] sarkar1990:
Crashes as in close completely or just stutter?
[Xperia SP General] 01abhishekjain:
Crash completely

with the browser, it does happen to the degree that I now don't even prefer opeing up chrome or dolphin, I'd rather just keep using Opera Mini.

It's like I'm viewing a vid on youtube with 2 other tabs open(without flash) and it crashes to the homesceen. Sometimes, it would freeze right there and then, and I would have to manually go to the home screen and close the app from the settings. Is it because of the RAM filling up?

Same thing when I'm playing World of Goo. I have to keep on restarting the game every 15-20 min or so.
[Xperia SP General] Karumbaiah:
Hi,

I have already tried all the screen lock settings. Including the face recognition. But when I switch it back to swipe unlock, the buttons appear again.

[Xperia SP General] nithin1992:
I'm in a dilemma as to which phone to go for. I'd really really appreciate if you'd take a minute to post your opinion. For now, I have decided to go for Nexus 4 or Sony Xperia SP.

Price Difference:Xperia SP is ~2000 cheaper than the Nexus 4 here

The price difference isnt really my concern though, I might as well put in a few extra bucks to get the best phone, if necessary. Ive researched quite and here are some stuff i really need clarifications about the Nexus 4:

What's the battery backup I can get out of Nexus 4[approx of Standby,SOT[browsing],SOT[gaming, say, subway surfers] with custom rom+kernel and stock? [Standby=No Data,Wifi,Bluetooth,GPS]

Is the back glass very prone to shattering? Assume it falls on the ground from waist height, is it sure to crack?

Do you think the Nexus 4 would be outdated in terms of hardware hence i should be waiting for the Nexus 5? Here in India, Nexus 4 launched recently so I'm assuming the nexus 5 might take quite some time as well compared to the US release

I really don't mind compromising on the camera or the expandable memory however on the SP the lesser 1gb ram does set me back as I'm not too sure how big this lack of ram would affect the phone in the future. Is the lack of 2gb ram a deal breaker for future updates/appa/games?

The only concern about the nexus 4 is the battery. If it can last me for an hour of music on loud speaker with screen off, an hour of browsing,1-2 hours of light gaming and standby for ~9hrs(with data enabled) id go for it. But I don't know if it can give me so much battery backup either. So if you can help me out, thatd be great

IF you do know some stats about battery in the Xperia SP, do put it out as well.

The major advantage i hear about the Nexus is direct updates from google but aren't other phones like the Xperia SP likely to get custom Rom's with the latest software? So what's the big advantage in it?
[Xperia SP General] varshil:
Go for nexus.. I hv been using it since 5 months and theres no match for it.. I also wanted to gift to my dad, but i already have 1 so ll buy sm other phone.. Most pbbly xperia zr .
