[Sony Xperia Mini Pro] android 4.0 Bugs & Problems summary?

Hi ,

I'm a Sony Xperia Mini Pro user , I just get my notification for my Android 4.0 ( ICS ) update. Before upgrade it , I did some research , and I found there are still many bugs and problems. Therefore , I decided not to upgrade my MiniPro at the moment , because the process was irreversible.

For the Latest Update ( ICS) ,

is there any Bugs and problems that havent resolved?

Temporary I just found some bugs like :

- Physical Keyboard problem

- Battery Power Drainage
- Performance Low ( lagging )

- Unable to access secondary Camera
- Camera acting slow and low quality in Pictures taken

Besides these , any other more ?

I really hope to upgrade my Xperia phone ASAP , but seeing all these bugs , I worry that I will regret in my action.

Please share me your reviews after updated your phone to ICS. Thank You =]

I’ve got a mini pro and am from the UK and finally got sick of waiting yesterday so flashed my phone with the ROM from the FTP mirror site linked in this thread:

fortunately I don’t have any of the problems you have listed above (I have read about them and was hoping nothing like that would happen to my phone) but do have the LED notification bug where it does not flash when when you get a new message and the locked screen does not indicate that you have

received a new message, its not the end of the world but hopfully sony can fix this at some point!

I don’t know if it made a difference but i had already unlocked the phone from the O2 network using the software supplied by the fastgsm website.

i don't have any of the problems either (apart from the led, but weirdly enough, it worked today, i was playing a logo quiz or something, and the led was flashing to tell me i had an sms, i wonder if it only works when you are 'in app')

Anyway, my point was, i got a mini pro last november from mobistar ( i live in belgium) i wasn't getting any GB updates from them etc so i flashed it to a generic belgian sony rom from Wotan server, worked perfectly. When the announcement for ics updating was available, i plugged it in and instantly was told i could update, my SI number still isn't on the list by the way. (and i'm guessing it never will be if mobistars previous service record is anything to go by. I think alot of the people who are complaining they have no update don't realise that it is not Sony who are responsible for the updates, but their carrier. Sony will have released them, but their carrier decides if it is financially viable to release it to their subscribers.

If anything i have found my battery life to be much better, i can easily get 2 days out of it now,

For me it's opposite. My batteri last 2 days before, - now it can't hold 24 hours.

If I disable sync g mail, it's like before.

Seems to me that network, use a lot of power..

I used update service anfd no problem occured to my phone...front back camera working fine.Battery last for 20-24 hours normal usage. keyboard is qwerty not azerty...Performance is good not laggy and only phone dialer is 1second slower than gingerbread.

One bug is that led notification for messages blinks only once while in sleep mode.else fine.
