Xperia S ICS features Missing

[ulaganathkrishn]

Hi Sony Support,

We are really upset on the update which misses the core features of ICS. Still its getting rolling to many country almost 4 days gone.

Native 3G VIDEO CALL.- why we have a front camera where we cant use it for video call. Its not fair

WIFI-DIRECT- The most welcomed features. Thought its being the highend smart phone we already misses the 4.0 bluetooth which the board can support but atleast the WIFI capable direct transfer technology which most company including samsung incorporated even in GB phone and adding to these the white paper reveales that its  has the technology in buit. But why its not implemented in the latest build.

Camera : Burst Mode. Many low end smartphones has that features. Why we dont have that feature. its really a pain  that having spent on high end phone lacks basic functionality where a mediocre devices can perform the same functionality at a fraction of price.

I am not pin pointing or complaining. I am just esclating to the right department to notify that these core features which are missing in the XS.

Please take it as a feedback and do the needfull to the owners of XS.

Thanks

Who said Native video call not supported . I mean its a built in Dialer funcitonality, which uses the front camera. Then being a 3g phone only support internet video chat is not acceptable. The network supports 3g calls though its not cost effective but it has to be built in the phone.

What about the WIFI-Direct its natively supported but not there i can see most of ics customization in GB but the core hardware welcomed feature not in ICS really bad.

Android DOES NOT support native video call, it does support Skype, Gtalk, tango, qik etc but you need a data plan and/or wifi

Fine android native support is not there. But can the dialer app be modified to support 3g call. its a welcomed feature when most critical situation we can use this functionality.

Also NFC multibrand compactibility. I am not sure it can be as each mfg uses their own code to read tags

But fine is it possible alteast for the following

NFC bluetooth pairing and connecting

NFC wifi handover for easy file sharing.

the OS doesn't support this, if it was that simple you could download an app from the market to do just that

I am not sure if you understand this. I have seen numerous devices using this features including S2,S3 note , wave 3 , etc

have you tried other NFC tags? that's kind of the purpose to use NFC so it's not limit by a brand

NFC bluetooth? NFC wifi? you might want to check the market, but why limit yourself to such a slow connection

NFC can be used for file sharing, it's called google beam,
