A disappointment of a phone.

A disappointment of a phone.

Finally decided to get rid of my iPhone 3Gs for a new android phone, and was looking forward to changing to Sony since I'm a fan of them, but this phone is simply the worse phone I have ever used in my entire life, even worse than a Nokia 3310.

The touchscreen is beyond poor, it's atrocious. I have major difficulty trying to even type a single sentence of SMS. The keyboard hangs for a while, and then doesn't register my freaking letter, and then messes up the entire word. When I try to backspace, it lags again. Sometimes it doesn't register the first touch, and I have to touch a few more times and suddenly it backspaces multiple times. Like, what the hell is going on?

And you'd think the touchscreen problem would be done there but no. I'm seriously glad I'm not the only one that's experiencing the notification bar portion not being sensitive. It's so difficult to pull down the notification bar because that 0.5 cm screen at the top doesn't even response to a touch. I have to drag it hard to bring my notification bar down.

Battery problem, nuff said.

USB charging? Don't even bother. Screws up the entire touch screen and makes unlocking the phone a chore, so don't even bother try typing a message while your phone is connected to your computer.

Music Player laggy as hell. Can't skip song properly. And if your music player is on shuffle, and you select a song, you have to make sure you put your music player on shuffle again, otherwise it won't be.

3 led lights at the bottom of the screen, buggy as hell. Sometimes on, sometimes off while going through the phone.

When using Phone as Hot Spot, battery displays 80%, after a few hours, it shows that it's still running good, but the next thing you know, your phone is dead.

If I could change my phone now, I would, but I'm stuck with this mobile phone for the next year.

The best thing about this phone is this discussion forum where I have had massive help from good contributors, but other than that, this phone is pretty much fail.

Sorry to hear about all these problems.

I suggest you first of all install PC Companion, http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/tools/pc-companion/ , run the program and perform a software repair or (if possible) update.

If this won't solve your problems you need to contact the local support team and ask for their help with having this phone handed in to a service center for examination and repair.
