The Official Xperia S thread

[Dr.Quattro]

Why do u want a SL when you have a S? The diff is S is using 1.5Ghz dual core and SL is using 1.7Ghz dual core. You wont feel any diff at all.

bro, thanks for the info. shall wait for the Nexus!

updated to new firmware too, too bad the critical prob was not fixed.

for example, camera quick launch not able to be fired up everytime.
facebook arrow pointing wrong location - not fixed.
laggin in setting UI - not fixed.
bluetooth music streaming stuttering - not yet tested.

seriously, i have no idea what the update is for.

See here for the change log as per reported by users:

[CoolSilverRider]

Updated to .45 liao.

Now, saving my data, and doing a clean installation again.

The buttons are more sensitive after the .45 update.

 

[xanthus_f]

updated to .45
so far so good for my commonly used stuff.
tried out fast capture, response seem quicker and the camera button activate the camera in lock screen unlike the previous version, sometimes press and press still nothing.

I think it's still too early to tell. Need to monitor for a couple of days. But no extreme battery drain.

Just finished updating my phone to 6.1.A.2.45 so you all do a clean installation which means wipe out previous data and install the firmware?

[Dr.Quattro]

Maybe you should post your phone usage instead of just concluding the battery drains fast.

I flashed via Flashtool.

Nope. I didn't do clean install.

Yes, i did a clean installation! It works great!

More responsive from the 3 bottom buttons.
More stable on the memory control.
Battery is slightly better than the previous.
Camera quick button is good.
But still hates the "Screen Captuare" function!...i want the GB Screen captuare shortcut!!!!

after charging it fully, i left it there without using it. last for ard 2h+

 

[Dixon.]

no difference to me though...

The phone definitely should last you more than 2 or 3 hours on standby. You can try to charge it full again and observe. If problem persist, you can do a clean installation or just send to service centre at bishan.

Go to Settings -> Battery, capture a screenshot and post it here. We can then determine what's is draining the battery so fast. It's definitely abnormal for the battery to drain so fast in 2 hours.
