I bought a Xperia U thru Fido about 2 months ago. The phone operates so poorly, I am at wits end. Here are some things I can think of right now:
- In general, for a dual-core phone, its slow as molasses at everything, even out of the box.
- Press the phone icon to make a call.... have to wait 2 seconds to get the pad to display. Is instantaneous if Home and do it again. Annoying when you want to make a quick call.
- Press Messages button it goes to last screen in Messages (say a conversation with friend). Press Back to go to Messages list, it instead closes Messages. You have to go thru the same process again.
- Long press on camera button to start camera will work maybe 40% of time. Other times, get a blank screen. Maybe 10% of time, camera opens in reasonable time, other 90% it takes 10 seconds, making its purpose to get a quick shot useless. I have missed so many shots because of the crap performance.
- Take a picture... sometimes thumbnail appears and you can press to view. Other times, no thumbnail, picture appears nowhere in the camera until later when you check back. If can and do view thumbnail after taking picture, press Back to return to active picture taking and... viewfinder is rotated 90 degrees from actual (happens a lot). Have to end camera and start again, or sometimes reboot phone.
There's a lot more, that's all I can think of for now. I owned a W995 phone before and absolutely loved it. Everything that it could do, it did without fail, every time, reliably and quickly. Can't say that AT ALL for this Android phone. Disappointed hugely.
