Hello
I bought my Xperia m2 exactly one year ago and i have a few problems and questions:
1. Screen developed 3 bad pixels. they are not annoying but still there
2. Screen developed bright spots- there are areas on the screen that are significaly brighter than their surroundings. That is starting to become annoying
3. lower part of the bezel, one that covers microphone and speakers has fallen off
4. 3.5" audio jack arrived broken, it pushes jack out of it when inserted, i have to hold it in to play
5. complete rear plastic/glass/cover is extremely easy to scratch which is not a huge problem coz it is after all a budget phone, at least it was supposed to be, it's pretty expensive in Croatia; but the problem is extremely easy to scratch camera lens. that is unacceptably bad. front panel has no scratches whatsoever so it's not me.
6. water damage sticker placement. It's located on the top right part of phone on the very top corner of the sim/memorycard opening. It is protected by a plastic bezel part that has a lot of play so even a tiny water drop can easily find it's way to it by water capillary action. ALSO that's the reason i cant fix my phone coz people at service center will tell me its waterdamage- my fault.
That placement is a most insolent/disrespective/rude thing i have seen in a long time. Rly smooth Sony.
Now things that can be fixed by software but arent:
7. light sensor sometimes works perfectly sometimes not at all. dunno why, makes no sense
8. compass is impossible to calibrate, it always shows wrong no matter how dilligently or what method i use to calibrate it.
9. audio during call sometimes halves loudness by half and keeps it that way until the end of a call, volume rockers cant turn it higher anymore
10. also earspeaker sometimes doesnt work. sometimes starts working when a next call happens sometimes no, restart fixes it. loudspeaker works, thats how i know thats the problem
11. loudspeaker volume levels are extremely non linear. the ones in the middle are fine, but last two? dont you test or care?
12. recent task often shows close all (as in apps) while there arent any. It does that since kitkat. i hate that so much
13. Stamina while excellent, kills google store updates while the phone is charging when the screen shuts down. where is the logic in stamina working when phone is charging? Also didnt it say somewhere that it will allow all downloads in progress even if screen turns off?
14. BIG ONE: cant record anything in loud areas. Sound becomes extremely distorted. with or without mic cancellation. that is a huge problem which is there since the beginning
15. file transfer by cable is extremely slow and unreliable in media mode. other one is better but then cant touch phone memory so whats the point.
I think thats it. maybe there are few more things but i cant remember them.
one more, phone heats up a lot. whatever i do. even if i just use whatsapp for a few min. in summer its really hateful.
and one more: charging takes 4 hours on a official charger. Whoever allowed that should be fired immediately. that is unacceptable.
I teleported the official charger in the wall then garbage several months ago and use some random one with 1a what that charges at least 1.5 times faster. id say twice but i'll let you have it sony.coz official one was 850ma so lets not stick to that.
also charging in summer and using your phone at the same time is not possible coz the heat is unbearable.
Thankfully thats where the amazing battery comes into play. i charge it only during nightime. battery life is really really amazing. thats why when i throw the phone wanting to kill it i throw it in a pillow or rug or somewhere soft. its a pretty great redeeming quality.
I heard it will recieve android 5.1, please fix problems that can be fixed. thank you.
Hope to get a satisfying answer. Kisses from hot Croatia
edit1: please make some use out of light bar. i forgot the phone has that, been scrolling through the forum and remembered it.
edit2: Now that my post is noticed by the moderators, I sincerely hope you will alert those in charge so they can improve on this pretty popular Sony product so it finally works as advertised.
