[Sony Xperia Mini Pro] android 4.0 Bugs & Problems summary?

Thu, 21 Jun 2012 16:01:14 GMT

Hi ,

I'm a Sony Xperia Mini Pro user , I just get my notification for my Android 4.0 ( ICS ) update. Before upgrade it , I did some research , and I found there are still many bugs and problems. Therefore , I decided not to upgrade my MiniPro at the moment , because the process was irreversible.

For the Latest Update ( ICS) ,

is there any Bugs and problems that havent resolved?

Temporary I just found some bugs like :

- Physical Keyboard problem

- Battery Power Drainage
- Performance Low ( lagging )

- Unable to access secondary Camera
- Camera acting slow and low quality in Pictures taken

Besides these , any other more ?

I really hope to upgrade my Xperia phone ASAP , but seeing all these bugs , I worry that I will regret in my action.

Please share me your reviews after updated your phone to ICS. Thank You =]

I’ve got a mini pro and am from the UK and finally got sick of waiting yesterday so flashed my phone with the ROM from the FTP mirror site linked in this thread:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1693631

fortunately I don’t have any of the problems you have listed above (I have read about them and was hoping nothing like that would happen to my phone) but do have the LED notification bug where it does not flash when when you get a new message and the locked screen does not indicate that you have

received a new message, its not the end of the world but hopfully sony can fix this at some point!

I don’t know if it made a difference but i had already unlocked the phone from the O2 network using the software supplied by the fastgsm website.

i don't have any of the problems either (apart from the led, but weirdly enough, it worked today, i was playing a logo quiz or something, and the led was flashing to tell me i had an sms, i wonder if it only works when you are 'in app')

Anyway, my point was, i got a mini pro last november from mobistar ( i live in belgium) i wasn't getting any GB updates from them etc so i flashed it to a generic belgian sony rom from Wotan server, worked perfectly. When the announcement for ics updating was available, i plugged it in and instantly was told i could update, my SI number still isn't on the list by the way. (and i'm guessing it never will be if mobistars previous service record is anything to go by. I think alot of the people who are complaining they have no update don't realise that it is not Sony who are responsible for the updates, but their carrier. Sony will have released them, but their carrier decides if it is financially viable to release it to their subscribers.

If anything i have found my battery life to be much better, i can easily get 2 days out of it now,

For me it's opposite. My batteri last 2 days before, - now it can't hold 24 hours.

If I disable sync g mail, it's like before.

Seems to me that network, use a lot of power..

Problem solved

Yesterday I ran the PC Companion update again, and was told I had the newest version, but was offered a repair. I choosed to repair, and was told that everything would be lost, settings, messages, contacts, etc

I ran the repair, and it started up like a new phone.

Seems like I got a clean install, and not a upgrade. My battery now acts as before ICS.

Avoid the ICS update, It's NOT worth it.

*Random restarts

*Sometimes laggy

*Bad focus on camera

*One of the worst: video recording lost stereo sound,now its mono and frames per second dropped from 29-30 to 26.

I flashed back to gingerbread

ICS has new features. One of those I like the most is, now almost every apps can be moved to sd-card, which is great on a phone with so little internal space.

Are you kidding us?:smileylaugh: This is a known feature of GB too!

Ran into problems when I first upgraded but just like you, I used the repair. But still experienced problems (no vibration, lag, hang ups) but upon continuous use, the problems seem to resolve itself. It looks like the phone need time to settle things with the ICS software. Now Im a happy and contented user, love ICS on my experia mini pro
