not necessary lor, official to root will void the phone warranty
but unofficial ways won't

if u c the warranty part t&c, some phone warranty continue as normal,
but they will not repair the phone damage by the result of rooting,
hardware glitch or failure that origin from the manufacture, they will repair it.

motorola and sony is doing this

bcauz the android blocked those access ady,
it is 4 security purpose n also performance

tis is bcauz the filesystem the android using is not supported in windows,
once connected android system will emulate the filesystem
so you can view n edit the file like normal usb drive,

defragment is not necessarily in xperia S, bcauz it uses ext4 filesystem
ext4 file system is famous for its Delayed allocation, it reduce fragmentation

for antivirus u just get the trend micro or norton for mobile if u scare got virus

delete the aura folder,
go 2 application n clear the cache of sygic, and uninstall it

thn reinstall it again

just flash back to the original firmware lor,
if u didn't have it, u can get from me

yes, no need to unlock bootloader
bcauz it is original firmware from sony,

i created a copy whn i was updating 2 ics

i upload it 2 the file server, u download it

pls describe how it crash, and the sygic version u installed

i also got tis problem, but whn i delete sygic n all the sygic data, reinstall it again
it bcom ok ady

won't if you choose the option of not to delete the data,
later i upload ady i give u the link lar

it is a known issue that sygic will crash if the old data is still around,
after the phone updated to android 4.0, ermmm u can try full reset and data wipe
if u dono how 2 clear the sygic's data

Yea, normally, delete the aura folder thn reinstall the app will do.
if cannot contact sygic, they will teach u how.
or u can try full wipe, delete everything on ur phone using seus, thn reinstall the sygic again

I hold no responsibilities if ur phone got any problem, such as explode n kill u

both of the original firmware

xperia S malaysia 2.3.7 1257-1836

Xperia S malaysia 4.0.4 1257-1836

tutorial, follow the tutorial to flash ur phone back to 2.3.7
u can download the malaysia 1 created by me or others provided by them, it has no difference
u must click wipe data option, or some app might (maybe only lar) not be working properly, or u move ur app to internal SD, bcauz things in internal SD will not be deleted
after finished copy, disconnect n start phone

I think no, apps data will remain but app will be gone, once u reinstall u will find tat the data still intact, like game save data

opps sorry, later i upload the ICS one

Added on July 19, 2012, 9:31 amactually i like Sony bcauz they update a lot, unlike HTC n Samgsung

Added on July 19, 2012, 9:44 amonscreen button is good, but bad in certain screen bcauz it causes image burn in,
especially amoled screen, but sony uses LCD so it will be more durable

pm those ppl in xda, 2 share ur ICS ftf

i don't really like unlocked bootloader, bcauz i heard seus will not provide official update if bootloader is unlocked
but dono true or not lar, if not true sure i unlock 1
i like sony bravia engin a lot, other mod ICS got no sony bravia engin bcauz it is sony's proprietary
so i didn't take risk, but u still can relock it again

but i get root access tru other more dangerous method, without unlocking bootloader

Added on July 19, 2012, 9:55 amermmm if compare 2 iphone 4s, it perform better in low light,
but kinda not fair also 2 compare them, bcauz iphone 4s is using Sony 8mp BSM sensor just like samsung galaxy 3
xperia S is using sony mobile exmor r sensor which is more advance sensor

but one of the things i dislike is lens flare,
xperia S pickup lens flare just like many of those Sony G lens for sony camera
may be it is down 2 me lar bcauz some ppl like those

which charger u use? some xperia s comes with fast chager EP-850, some not EP-800
i'm using 1, fast charger tat i buy later on EP-851, charging time almost 1 hour

i think it depends on which country, i heard some country no hdmi some got hdmi
some only 1 smart tag, c they smug in from which country lor

if it is those truly china made imitation AP 1, thn i dono lar

Added on July 21, 2012, 6:29 pmthn i'm not very sure, bcauz the fast charger EP 851 sure charge faster thn the normal 1 EP 800
it just take almost 1 hour 2 fully charge

but battery drops very fast is a very well knw issue if u say u use social networking apps
i'm using skype n live msn both at the same time, it barely make it to 3 hours.
s3 even more worst, barely 2 hours

Android phone heat up quickly 1, if u use quard core 1, more scary but it is normal 1 lar

ermm if say display ler s3 AMOLED look more vivid in contrast kinda feel fake,
xps colour look more nice bcauz of the bravia engin enhancement, but actual video or picture look different

it is a bit unfair to compare their camera
bcauz xperia s sure win they uses new technology sony's mobile exmor r sensor
n s3 they use sony's old technology 8mp bsm sensor
but sony kinda keep the photo saved compression too high, it just destroy the photo quality

actually each got their own pros n cons
but one true fact is amoled wear down faster thn LCD
burn in effect always occour

your's is maybe orther country set, bcauz mine can detect
i purposely set 2 channel 13, bcauz it is running with different frequency
it is required 4 my other devices 2 run properly

but in other country above channel 11 is illegal
