Xperia S one week old hangs up

[#1]

Hi

I am from INDIA and have bought this fabulous smartphone a week ago but it has started bugging me a lot.

1. 3 days back, while playing doodle jump , my phone suddenly showed a red lines on the screen and then got shut down.

On restarting everthing seems fine but i stopped playing that game.

2.  I was using Google goggles with a  snapshot (clicked by same phone) . But the phone hanged on that screen .It showed initialising for a infinite time.Though people were able to call me during that time , my phone just showed the initialising screen of google goggles

I have to ultimately restart the phone.My friends have started to question my decision of buying this phone.

My phone is having build 6.0.A.3.62 and kernel version 2.6.35.11.

Please provide a fix .

Thanks

did you downloaded that game from the market or did you sideload the app?

regarding google goggles, this might be a dumb question but did you had a data plan or wifi connection?

also go to settings -> applications -> manage applications -> all -> google goggles -> clear data and try again

Hi

I download all the apps from Google play.

I was using data plan 2G both the times i faced the problem.

But the doodle jump app doesnt use internet  ..its a game.

I updated my phone last night and is on .62 build now. All the apps i had installed are gone. 

Wish not to have such a problem again.

[uliwooly-wooly]

so even game was from the market? using a 2G internet connection will explain the lag on google goggles, the other issue with the game it could be an issue with the game it self, maybe when it was downloaded something went wrong.

Hi

Check your phone for an application called "Box". Once you register you will be able to use 50GB of free cloud space.
