how long u keep the 3G on?
bcoz normally i put my 3g always on 24 hours. but my acro s got hotter when i continuously surfing more than 1hour.

all 4g phone can support 3g, as up to date.
i dunno if in the future they gonna disable it.
but according to GSMArena, this phone does support as low as GSM up to LTE

but the phone is really draining the battery especially with data traffic turned on

I don't know how to quantify but it's my second charge and with 5++ hours, 50% left.

Wifi all the time at home with data traffic off, data traffic on whenever outside. Mostly texting, whatsapp, camera testing.

I think will need to bring charger to office d later coz alot of ppl want to get their hands on new phone.

During office hours, i have a limited time to using my phone. With just email and receive a call, the phone can last up to 17-20hours per day. But during weekend when i have so much time browsing, fb and whatsapp, the battery only can last about 8-12 hours.

Try taking out your external SD. It should stop the MediaServer process from running in a loop and should increase your battery life

The camera IS more superior in V than in TX. There are far more settings and it is the first Sony phone to already sport the Superior Auto feature even before Xperia Z. Aside from that it has HDR function. So yes, it does have a better camera than TX. I just don't understand why Sony isn't going all out to promote this phone Sony being Sony, keeps making strange marketing decisions

Since people missed both my previous post.

Is the HDR working in both camera and camcorder?

HDR is turned on superior auto mode, max at 12mp.

If you want 13mp you need to go normal mode.

Camcorder no HDR, Xperia Z only for now.

Side note: Tips for lasting battery , press your recent apps and remove them, so that it won't continue running at background draining your battery *especially games*

HDR only in camera not video. Z have both. already got my xperia v last saturday. So far so good. no SOD, battery still ok but if data turn on and extensive playing games drained quickly. today working from morning (98%) till now still have 85%, nice....

where you bought it and what the price ?

same with eskimo-bin. Rm1480. in kuching pc image..

Hey, just discovered Xperia V has face unlock feature. Kewl.

How does it work?Does it working good?Totally forgotten about that feature....

Haven't tried it yet. Just stumbled upon it in settings. I don't think anyone knows it has this feature, it's not even in the Sony website specification. It's amazing how many good features on this phone they keep secret. Loony if you ask me

Haha,sorry for asking so many questions....

I'm still new to this phone but may I know what is face unlock?

Use your face detection to unlock the phone....google about it to find more information.

Wow that awesome. Thank you bro..

went to maxis klcc last sunday, found out the lte service currently only applicable for broadband package, mobile internet is yet to get it. so couldn't get to try the lte speed of this phone, until they include mobile internet.

compared with galaxy note, it seems the phone is a lil bit slow in terms of data connectivity. the v sometimes fail to load a webpage whereas the note can load it immediately at the same spot where i sit/stand.

maybe because of different processor? i dont know. but the camera is very good. and the sound.

battery wise, with only wifi it can last mora than a day. turn the data on, ... nvm

coming from a 5" screen, i do have problems with the keyboard. very often i will mistype, press the wrong button.

Yes, no LTE yet in Malaysia for mobile network. I asked maxis KLCC the day I bought the phone, so if the phone only support LTE, we're in trouble!

Anyway, strange that you have problems loading a web page on data. It's working flawlessly on mine. Are you using default browser or Chrome?

Anyway, the trick with the keyboard so that you don't mistype it is by turning it on Landscape Confirmed to not mistype
