The Official Xperia S thread

[loh1991]

Today...Xperia just pushed down .73 software update to my phone!

Done!...but dunno what's the differences about!

it is said to improve the battery life while on idle, dont feel the difference yet

 

[hunter129]

For my White Xperia S, I have my transparent hard case bought from Brother Hush. On top of the hard case, I have a cloth pouch so I slot it in after use each time.

Of course, I clean it frequently to keep it clear of dirts inside the transparent hard case.

I see. I'm waiting for bro timberland order of the Nillkin casing. Using a cheap cloth pouch for the phone currently.

Not too bad for the update, can get at least 27 hours on extremely light usage, with occasional SMS, whatsapp and web browsing.

Try to use Wifi if available, it will help to conserve the battery. Adjusting to low brightness (< 30%) helps too.

Okay, i got a very slight yellow tint issue also, tried internet browser new tab (pure white) with phone @ 40 degrees. Can see a "yellow bar" at very bottom of the screen.

Think i can afford to wait for later date then send in for replacement + ICS updates, since the issue is not a significant one. Been using the phone with less than 30% of max brightness, can't really see it.

Mine's unique

Polarizer not properly done on both screen side edges and yellow tint is on the black areas of the notification bar

 

[eeLsinneD]

I don't have the yellow tint issue.

lucky you, dude. =/

Now my issue is whether should I bear with that big patch of yellor at the bottom or buy a SIM card adaptor and use my Arc and be apart with Nozomi for a week and worse, having them wipe out the data in her =/

 

[eeLsinneD]

Using the phone and noticing the yellowy brownish patch is no fun either. It's an attention seeker!

One other thing is about personalization and configuration. Once sent in, it'll come back factory-reset. I have to start it all over again. I don't feel good to install apps and such while knowing the fact that I have to do it all over again after sending in.

Haha, I have a lot of childish concerns, don't I?

It ain't childish. It's just cos we are lazy and find it troublesome. I have the same worries as yours too lol.

 

[timberland]

not childish, it's lazy. cos i also dun like to upgrade my root version and reinstall all apps again although i got backup all settings, userapps and data using titianium backup.

 

[DoraemonBoi]

I HAVE YELLOW TINT ON MY PHONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ADD MY NAME !! lol. Eh my friend galaxy r cracked without reason in his pocket.

Use PC companion to back up all your datas in your phone....

Use PC companion to back up all your datas in your phone....

Correct me if I'm wrong but backing it up with PC Companion is very limited; it mainly includes contacts, calendar, etc, but does not cover a lot of other things like configuration settings, apps, etc.

You need root before you can use apps like MyBackup Pro / Titanium Backup to backup configuration settings, apps, etc.

 

[Igene]

Got so many yellow tinted screen users ah...

Right. I'm still not gonna root my XS yet. That's for me to try out at a later time...

the purpose of this survey is to check Sony's claim that this issue affects only a very small volume of units... (or should it be the other way around?).. the longer list on the users with yellow tint issues, the more better i feel towards listening to Michael Jackson's hit "You are not alone".. haha

you can add yourselves in, self service style.. hehehe.. anyway, updating database..

rooted mine on the second day.. there are plenty of pre-rooted firmwares you can choose from. also got the SG-generic .73, which i am using now. the system is more flexible on doing more things than that of un-rooted ones.

 

[teh__o]

looks like the yellow tint is list getting longer and longer and longer
dont forget there are people with this issue not on this forum eg my friends

 

[globalzorian]

Sooner or later, the list of users with yellow-tinted screen will get much longer and some of the users from the we-have-no-issue group will transfer, too. (not cursing)
