Problems with firmware Sony Xperia E4

I bought this smartphone a few days ago. First impression - not bad enough. But these days I noticed problems with using a smartphone
- creaking back of the left hand
- the inability to select the memory card as the default memory
-poor image quality after taking photo (like software problem)
-the program does not have permission to write to the memory card
-yellow tint display.
I hope that Sony will fix software issues in the next update.
Sorry for my english...

Hi!

Battery Cover squeaks in compression, just in the middle left side, opposite the power button.

After pressing the button to take a photo, the camera focuses and the future looks good picture focused, but through instant photo looks like a light fog.

On the software limitations in permits Android 4 - I know what it is, but in other smart phones and base MTK is possible to set the memory card as the main storage space. In this version of the software is no such possibility. You can only transfer photos, music, video files and some program, with cash transfer programs is not possible! For example: Real Racing 3 - when transferring the cache memory to the card, game can not see it again and loads into memory smartphone. Behold, the problem with PlayBooks - the cache after transfer again loaded in memory smartphone.

As for white balance - balance adjustment does not help much, in my opinion the factory calibration is not good.

Thanks)

1. you might want to check this at the store, it shouldn't squeak 

2. the camera button (physical camera button) its a 3 step button, press it half way to focus then press it all the way to snap the picture. Does your phone has a protective case or film? are the pictures that look like fog are taken with flash? 

3. you should contact Google/Android on this issue/limitation.

4. could you take screenshots (full brightness) of the screen while you are trying to adjust the white balance, before and after?

It doesn't recognise either keyboard or mouse through USB!  The camera part needs improving . It takes  noisy blunt picture. Awefull pictures when the light is on- yellow flacks on white objects , blurry picture.

Use manual mode and check the white balance settings

Within 5 days of purchase of e4 abruptly switched off and was dead soon. Notified the problem with dealer they sent to Sony service centre . After 2 days the phone was OK. Reason they told was the software failure, we digested the opinion as phone was working perfectly. Again using after 3 days the same situation has arises. I am really disappointed with this phone. I have asked the dealer to either replace this faulty piece or refund the money.
