Mobile BRAVIA Engine NOT Working on any ICS.

[sparda0]

Bought Xperia Acro S today. It was a very good phone, well satisfied with it. Not until I installed Quickpic (3rd party picture viewer). And to my surprise, the pics from the Album app and Quickpic are exactly the same in terms of color saturation, noise and contrast! WHY is that SONY?

I have had Xperia ARC and RAY for a year or so, then sold the ARC because of the "CRACK" near the sensor. Got Samsung GSII with a horrible screen which I dont wanna look at, then sold it after 3 days and made me go back to SONY. But til this time after reading several comments, a lot of people noticed that the mBE is not working and Sony is not giving any CLEAR answer or solution for the issue.

I had about 20 SE phones and this is the first real Sony phone I have, please don't disappoint me. Any moderator or Sony Exec, please give me a reasonable answer for this query.

why wont any Xperia S owners post their comments and queries here? So that Sony would hear us? Some users said that mBE is working fine on Gingerbread, my phone came out with ICS on board and I was unable to experience BE on my Acro S the way I did on ARC and RAY

Let us make Sony hear us and work on a FIX for this annoying issue. BE is the reason why I bought this phone, yet I cant even take advantage of it!

the Bravia Engine applies to the whole UI of the phone, so whether you use 3rd party apps the effects is still perceived.

to see the difference try to use other phones that does not have the BE but with simillar display.

Here’s what Sony Ericsson Mobile BRAVIA Engine really does [REVIEW]

Hello sparda0!

  Its odd to hear that MBE ain't working in Acro S too (with ICS)! I have Xperia S for over 6 months and it had no issues whatsoever on any GB rom. But i've been having issues like Bravia Engine not working for photos (working for videos though), buggy camera quick launch etc. for last 3 months ever since the upgrade to sony ICS rom (even on the latest 6.1.A.2.45 build). I've tried everything to fix them, including repair using SUS, but to no use! Seeing the ICS bugs of Xperia S also on the newer devices like AcroS or Xperia Ion (has the quick lauch bug) makes me wonder wth is going on with sony developer team :smileyangry:?

I appreciate your feedback but that is not the case. i have used 3 xperia phones with mBE, Neo, Ray, and Arc the latter having ICS software installed. mBE does make a very good job in making pics and vids more vibrant and pleasing to the eyes. I definitely know how it works and i am so meticulous when it comes to display quality that is why i sold the Galaxy SII after two days of use. I know and I am sure that it only works with the built in photo and video apps. as the system framework suggest "be_album and be_movies". it does not work on the entire UI layout.

I am still waiting for a SONy rep to give a clear explanation on this, which I believe a Sony fanatic deserve. I have about 18 SONY gadgets with me, and I am not happy with this mBE not working on a device I bought because of this screen technology.

I see, so this might be an issue with the ics update. ill also wait any feedback.

P.S. so, if the Bravia engine is only applicable to the gallery/video player. if I make a photo/image as a wallpaper , the bravia engine won't "enhance the it?

Same issue, Xperia S.. This is incredibly frustrating.     I've been a diehard Sony Ericsson fan throughout it's span, and I moved to Sony, but I must say that Sony has been really disappointing with their policies and customer support.   Xperia S is a flagship model, right? And Bravia engine is supposed to be an exclusive and key feature of their series. They should've fixed it in a couple of days when the bug was discovered - and instead we find ourselves waiting for months with NO ANSWER/COMMENT, let alone a fix!

Let me investigate this, I will get back to you.

OMG !! that means that MBE is not working on my Xperia S ? i didn't notice that !!!

[sparda0]

hi there,

why does it says ASSUMED answered? sorry but i am new to this forum and this is my first post because it is really a HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT for a Sony Fanboy like me and for all others out there like Hasaan for this KEY feature not working on a FLAGSHIP model!

where is Sony or any of its representatives to address this issue? I mean, even without the mBE the 720p screen looks gorgeous compared to say for example 2011 xperia line up or galaxy sII but we deserve more! especially this is the main reason why I bought xperia Acro S despite of its price.

ive had neo, ray, and arc for the last year. and i have seen how mBE worked with ray and arc on ICS. what is going on Sony?

am i going to start doubting the company i believed into for several years? from trinitron, discman, walkman, memory stick, psone, ps2, psp3000, pspGO, m2 micro, TWENTY SE phones, usb microvault, mdr ex85, 60, 80, and 310SLB, w-series cybershot, fontopia, card reader, dream alarm clock, 5.1 channel dvd home theater, micro component and my gosh even SONY LCD CLEANER and ACCUcore DVD disk I owned, you are not going to respond to my concern?
