Bugs

[thejanka]

Hello sony team!

Okay, so, in last month(when I upgraded to ICS) I`ve monithored few bugs from mine Xperia S.

And they ar:

1. Camera button. When using it for fast capture(when creen is locked) sometimes it works with first press of button, but mostly I need to press it more than one time(usually 3 times) to activate.
2. When calling to someone or recieving ac call from someone the screen goes dark, ofcourse becouse of proximity sensor, but the problem is, that when I get phone away from my ear, screnn is still dark, it doesn`t tur on, like it was on 2.3.7.
3. Mobile internet on low battery(under 15%) doesn`t turn on, same problem is with wifi.
4. Bluetooth bug with handsfree headsets - music is twitching for about 1 second in a 2-3 minutes or when unlocking screen or doing some hard actions for CPU, and I`m using SonyEricsson`s MW600.
5. Problem with MAC and Linux. I can`t connect my phone to my MAC and also I c`nt connect it to Linux. The problem is that USB ports are showing that phone is connected, but I can`t acces to phone memory. That`s really annoying, becouse I need to use windows crap. And, I was able to connect my phone to Mac and Linux on 2.3.7
6. And the last problem - battery! It drains like twice faster than on 2.3.7. Now I must charge it every day, bu on 2.3.7 I charged it every 3rd day.

My phones firmware version - 6.1.A.0.452

Probably there are some more bugs, but I`ve forgotten them :smileyhappy:. If I`ll remember some, I`ll update this thread.

Hope, that these few bugs will be fixed.

No. 7 and 8 posts - I`ve same problems.

Speaking about music player - I tried hard as possable, but I couldn`t repeat your mentioned bug. And speaking about 7th post - for me, it`s getting even worse. Today same thing has happened for 7 times. I was "speaking" to important business clients, but I wasn`t able to speak becouse I didn`t hear them, so I needed to hang up and phone them back...

Knowing that the issue while taking a call often happens to yours is just so hair-raising for me. I'm afraid that it will also happen to mine more frequently. But fortunately I experience that issue only once several days after updating to ICS. When it was happening, the case resolved when the caller decided to call me from another phone. That's weird.

But what irritates me the most is just the unability of making a fast capture instantly. Now I DEFINITELY HAVE TO PRESS 3 TIMES to get into the fast capture camera mode. For Christ's sake that is annoying.

Fast capture is one thing that makes the Xperia S stand out, right???

Sony should have said: Do not upgrade your Xperia S if you don't want to lose the fast capture function

And the issue occuring to my music player must also be considered seriously by Sony. I'm sure there are others who experience the same.

This thread has been existing for almost 2 weeks and still no Sony moderator around... ?????

From today my phone is comletely brick! No matter what I do, I can`t connect to internet. I did repair thru PCC - nothing. Rapair + reset to factory settings - nothing. I`m so angry now... please SONY release some bugfix, I`m begging now... Can`t use phone without internet, I need to check my mail(important contracts e.t.c.) each 30 minutes if I`m not in office!

Hello Torek_Oshin & thejanka,

I feel really pitty for the issues you are facing, am also one of the Xperia S user and we have lot of issues with ICS update (Strongly).

We also have a couple of issues with "Camera", i hope you guys would have already seen it, if not below is the link for the blog.

Lots of ppl around the globe had added their comments and many are doing RnD also. Sony is giving us a chance to become a "Test/Quality Analyst" (lol).

If you guys didn't receive any update from Sony, make much noise by posting your issues in "Facebook - Sony page" , they have got a official page in Facebook and i see they respond to ppl's query faster when compared here.

Everybody hope for a fix from "Sony" soon.. Fingers crossed..

The ICS update is a complete and total failure! My phone was actually 100 times better on Gingerbread! To many bugs to list to be honest!

[Torek_Oshin]

Yeah I've ever come and participated in the thread link you gave, you can tell there are some posts written by me in the 'focusing problem of Xperia S's camera'. I can say that the camera focusing problem has been existing since it was still on Gingerbread. Now it's even worse that we found out there are lots of failures with ICS.

What I've been experiencing this far really doesn't depict the effort of a company that has been losing lots of market share to regain the world's trust in using their products.

Now I'm waiting for a miracle from Sony guys confirming that there's a fix for it; or else, time to say good bye to this phone and Sony.

Well, with ICS and other updates, mostly I don`t care about some minor bugs, but if phone can`t support mine basic needs, like calling, texting and mobile internet, then there is a problem.

I bought this phone becouse it supported all three mentioned things, but now, it supports only one - texting. For calls I can`t hear sometimes the person in the other side, and mobile internet isn`t working for me anymore...

I hope to Sony will release bugfix soon, otherwise I`ll buy new iphone(I`m done with android, too much bugs and companys are too much interfering into android life) at the end of year...

I am really understand you guys. This is my list of ICS bugs: http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/47601?tstart=60

BTW, dont give up on Android yet, cause Sony cares more to present another dozen of 2012 flagship phones instead of deal with problems in existing ones. I really hate myself that I didnt go for Samsung Galaxy 3. Of course these fellas are hopeless then it comes to design and beauty of particullar handset, but then it comes to hardware and soft they are close to perfect.

No. 1 and 2 are the same problems I have.

It looks like every phone or user have different bugs. I downgraded to GB and bugs are gone except battery life is a bit worse.

Hello Garret,

I hope your warranty is not yet over, How did you downgrade it to GB? because in many posts i saw when we downgrade by ourself it will void our warranty..

If you have downgraded w/o voiding ur warranty, please let me know as well.. Because, even i want to go back to GB..
