Microphone and frontal camera issues - fix 4.3 ?

Hello,

I, like many other owners of this tablet are experiencing a mic and frontal camera issues, specially mic problems. The mic on the Tablet Z performs badly either with skype or other conversation app. The frontal cam performs also badly why having a video chat.

I sure my tablet is working fine and i have no abnormal issues apart of those described. It's seems from what i read that the problem is with the software and drivers.

Is sony aware of those issues (which seem a tweak and drivers problem rather than anything else) and is it planned to be addressed on the next firmware release?

Thank you.

It seems you were hoping for some form of official answer. All I know is that I saw the Z tablet being sold with a free headset, but that doesn't seem to be a widespread initiative, so it's not Sony's policy. The Sony repair service denied there was a problem with my Z twice, that sounds more like Sony policy.

I don't share your optimism about software tweaks. Sure they could bring the recorder app on par with the camera, but as to cancelling touch noises, they already tried to and didn't get far. I think some of us just have poorly mounted or poorly performing microphones.
