but its intermittent wo? not everyday or everytime will have it. just that if switch on/off mobile too frequent, one of out 10th it will become like this. showing "H" but actually no mobile network. haha...

but i will try your method see if it solves the issue.

edit: just checked. under digi internet access point right? my proxy is "not set". so its not the root cause lo? hopefully JB fixed this. ICS has improved/fixed some bugs but introduced new ones. LOL...

Just bought yesterday. Im disappointed with the camera- image quality. My ip4s better. Anyway, i love this phone.

IMO the first time i got this phone i feel disappointed with the camera as well, but so far i can tell .55 firmware improve the camera a lot!
Edit: the first time I got this phone is with Gingerbread...

Updated already. Better than yesterday,
How do u increase the battery life?

All latest phone have it... if don't have it, when you make a call, you put phone near to your face, it's wont off the screen....

1st page have this
How to access Sony Xperia S service menu?
- Dial *#*#7378423#*#* from the dial keypad to enter service menu.

You can test the sensor there.

I haven't explore anything yet after the update. The last pic I taken using my XPS is on 14/01/13.

Always keep the screen off....

emmm,weird thing happened yesterday ....
my camera automatically focus and snap picture by itself whenever i point it to certain object , for my case I pointed it to my father car tyre

anyone experienced this before???

Not weird if your smile detection is set to small smile... maybe you father car rim look like smiling face....

or your focus is set to face recognition.... the rim/tyre is circle like a face.

Well, I have asked a S3 and Lumia user.. they too facing battery life problem where if they on data whole day, the battery cant even last a day... So, I guess it is the same with XPS... If you dont on data on XPS, it last quite long too, right?

ya it is quite normal for so called smartphone these days... i tried before no on data because I was not at Malaysia that time. Just for roaming without data. the battery can last for almost 2 days with just occasional SMSes and photo shootings.

Yeap. Battery life the main problem for all smartphone.
I Only on wifi, in office and home. Batery can last until nite. Hehe

I use XPS...
with wifi on, data on, gaming... 1 day
only call and sms... 3 days.

I and my wife also S3 user...
with data or gaming.... 1 day, sometime less than 12 hours...
without data and gaming... 3 days...

so is there any different? NO.....

yes already test "proximity sensor" is working...

O.O after 1 year with the phone , now only i know about this

Thx for the reply anyway

does your phone always freeze?

Hi, its been a while i checkin here. Since new firmware .55 is released, may i know if this firmware is rootedable without unlock bootloader.

Hi everyone, my phone dropped numerous times since i started using it june last year and look like crap now. after much hesitation and procrastination, i've finally updated my phone to latest firmware from GB. now i cant seem to type mandarin, long tap on input tray doesnt work anymore?? i know im hopeless anyone? please?

***sorry guys please ignore me, googled and found the solution.

guys, is xperia s and xperia sl the same phone? I am planning to either get a samsung galaxy3 mini or xperia sl, any suggestions?

xperia sl has higher clocked scorpion cpu, 1.7 ghz vs 1.5 ghz, bluetooth 3.0 vs 2.1, and sl come with ics out of box

other features include mass and dimension, battery, camera etc is the same, basically both xperia s and sl is a same phone

pull down notification bar
tap xperia keyboard, choose japanese

I think it's time for me to start saving for a new phone... my XPS use battery until have 30% in less than 20 hours.... I only make 1 call and a few SMS.

No time for me to check what is the causes... I rather use my precious time for OT... and that for a new phone.
