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

I'm not sure that you understand this, native video call it is NOT supported by Android Operating System, samsung added this to the S2 and S3 in selected markets, it is NOT supported by Android, some users had requested this for a LONG time since the first Xperias, but It hasn't being implemented and most likely it wont, the quality it's too low and again it's limit to certain markets, the focus of Sony is the US at least that's what they said last year and no one use that here at all it's all about HD video calls not over pixelated low quality video

If an app have to do that. We need SU right for which the phone needs to be rooted as this will result in voiding warranty.

Dont Mistake First the Yellow tint Issue. Then lack of basic functionality and still not justified. People know what can and cant be done. OS is just a base but lot of apps are written on top of it to utilize the full functionality

If a third party app can take control of camera why not same dialer in built app can take care. I seen 3g video call in GB os devices and test it works as expected. Not sure if this was missed or assumed that os not supporting this feature but dialler app modification needs su access which is not possible.

ok i got it but what if 4g network is implement still you say its pixelated. Even so give us the feature its upto the user to continue use or not. Just a part of the call app. We take it and not get back to you if the quality is low. I have used 3g in normal nokia phones its not bad its ok. They are still working each technology has it own growth phase let give them enough time to graduate

But please take this into consideration for the next update we take it as it is . As the quality will fall to network operators not sony

lol 4G networks won't do it, the whole point of 4G it's a FAST DATA CONNECTION, as I said, this has being requested since 2010 but Sony hasn't and most likely won't add this

I agree with the fact that the camera app is really not upto the mark.. xperia s has a really good camera but with such a software its not been utilized properly..

plus thats really stupid thing that in message app we cant delete multiple messages in the same thread... what more worse can be than this...

Samsung supports 3g Video call why not sony?

Having no WiFi direct does blow. I was hoping I could connect my phone to my tv but I guess not.

Any idea if this will be added later on?

[Uliwooly]

how do you know which electronics are compatible with wifi-direct?
