Xperia S ICS Discussion Thread

[hush66]

Just late last month, Sony released ICS for the Xperia S. I created this thread so that everyone can discuss / post queries on Xperia S ICS.

For me, it's been a good update overall, though there has been some minor annoying bugs such as music-stuttering and Facebook app issues.

And I'm sure somebody will ask: the screenshot function has changed with the update. You need to press the Power button + Volume down at the same time, to take a screenshot.

And those interested in rooting your phone (without unlocking the bootloader), you can refer to this thread:

forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1742992

I'll try to update this post with useful tips as and when other members post them, or I come across them.

Brother, thanks for your update.

Below are some bugs in ICS :

1) Radio bug - When you use Radio function, you will hear some static noise and music will be distorted, after restart phone, problem resolved.

2) Facebook - Facebook inside Xperia not download contact photo in Facebook.

3) Music Player - Player will have stuttering sound when you access other functions of the phone.

4) Bluetooth - When used with Smart Wireless Headset Pro, headset never play back notification sound from apps like Whatsapp but it actually pause the music playback for a few seconds (It happens also when playback from the MicroSD Card).

If you notice any more bugs, do share it here.

Add to the list of issues.

1) Experienced data network issues. Sometimes phone not able to detect data network at certain places, which it does not happen when phone is using GB.

2) Cannot detect my wifi at home, only able to find list of neighbour wifi network. Again, no such issue when phone is on GB.
