thanks for the info bro. are you using ics now? any short comings compared to GB?

btw, is the quick launch camera bug still persist in the latest ics updates? i use it the most in my current setup.

i'm starting to think sony sucks when it comes to support and software development. they cant catch up at all. lol...good hardware paired with shit software, well, not shit out of the box, but shitty updates.

you sure? maybe some users are not sensitive in the bugs because some of the features they dont use. but it costs an arm or leg for others. the most important feature, and the reason i get XPS is the physical camera button and the quick launch. i tested my friends XPS on ICS .45 still have bugs launching the camera. failed 2~4 times out of 10. which is definitely software bug introduced by ICS in the first day. GB has no such problems. not to say this is the only bug. the lag in BT music, auto focus problem bla bla...list goes on.

i am complaining because for this bug alone, there has been thousands of feedback in sony official forum, xda...and the dev do nothing. what's more to say it is proven software bug, release a patch targeting it already. and we would understand if they pushed their major updates behind a bit.

Added on December 18, 2012, 9:58 amyeah man. maybe this will be my last sony phones. been using all SE phones + one legendary nokia 3310 in my life. LOL. maybe i will get next asus or htc? hmm...but definitely not korean phones. samsung's display hurts my eyes with stupid over-saturated color they called color rich. my arse. the S3 camera snaps real bad pictures. I compared in SENQ side by side with my XPS, showed to my gf, she can straight away tell the PQ difference already.

haha...since the xps battery cant be removed, got chance to secretly trigger some sms i think. or can get a picture or two. LOL...i dont know. havent install those yet.

cannot put hope on our police. they can help collect pocket money la.
yeah man. take care and be more careful out there. good thing you are OK. but sadly you are no longer XPS gang. lol. maybe a year or two i would be with asus padphone 3. haha...now still tied up with telco with my xps.

it is the ICS bug i am talking about. so i presume that you are on ICS yes?
People i have no lag in homescreen on GB. so it is the ICS. if you're on ICS, wait for JB or try to do reflash to GB. haha...oh and my camera button works fine. sony sucks on software updates.

Added on December 28, 2012, 8:38 pmwhat do you need so much memory for a phone? movies? 26GB is more than enough. I cant even use up to 10GB. yes the OTG works fine. I can even hook up a BT logitech mouse with it.

dont be lazy, house cleaning! anything you dont need, there's no worth to keep.

the battery you dont have to really worry. with minor gaming, moderate surfing + FB + whatsapp + calls can easily lasts you a day. unless you go heavy gaming or GPS related apps (wechat?) or heavy calls.

if you wanna save juice in idle mode, without the need of data, can turn that off. it can save tons of juices.

it is definitely better than S2. S2 is an aged phone.

i have zero problems with the touch buttons. you need to do swipe up movement. i have never missed.

wow you are still here? haha... i am still on the great awesome GB man. haha...no good working camera quick launch = no update to ICS. lol. hope they fixed that in JB.

yeah man. still on GB because of the slide to silent and perfect quick launch button. not gonna update just because i wanna update. LOL...GB is too smooth to be replaced. my phone still good only the white body part a bit yellowish lol. now using the super durable casemate tough case on it. looks bulky and awesome. haha...

for real?

mine wont. it is dyes by dunno, maybe my acidic skin. hahaha...

wait!!! i just read the quick launch bug has been fixed in the changelog!!!!!!! in the .55 update!
DAMN! i am gonna update now! ICS HERE I COOOOMMMEEEE!!

i am still updating in progress! at last...they fixed the damn quick launch! hahaha...

hahaha i even posted in the sony talk forum. but now small tiny issue with ICS, the status bar left side icons seem so dim. lol...got ppl complain too. any workarounds?

and whatsapp notificaiton icon become grey. wtf. where's my green thingy? boring status bar. haha...

yay so far no miss in quick launch. BT off also quick. only thing i found not nice is what i mentioned, the left notification bar icons. all dimmed. damn.

battery seems to burn tad faster compared to GB.

that one still no. hahaha...i update because the BT and flight mode haywire a bit in GB. Once you turn on flight mode with WIFI, then u turn off flight mode, mobile data wont come back. and for the BT issue, if you on/off BT too many times, BT wont turn on again. haha...both bugs require rebooting phone to work again.

they fixed those in ICS, but earlier ICS introduced camera quick launch and BT music stuttering bug. They fixed BT bug in .45, now they fixed camera stuttering in .55. i would say good job sony, albeit they work like tortoise speed for software releases.

still, now they need to fix the notification bar too dim problem and let us customize the lock screen! i dont wanna install too many 3rd party apps just to do simple stuff. haha...and another major reason i update to ICS is because i wanna ban those apps that keeps on processing background data. haha...
