A few users from this Sony subforum said write email in to complain if you're pissed enough...

Only they will know for sure whether job is big or small after they open up the phone.

Tink I'll sell the phone once I get it back.

Collect the phone first. Whether you use 3 days or a month, by the time you collect it back (god knows when), it might have been a month already. The value would have depreciated quite abit already.

Its just a small problem, don't let it dissuade you from using it. I've been using it for 3 weeks now. so far no issues.

Do state the colour of the phone too if u really want to sell. However, I hope u still give the phone a chance, unless u want to upgrade to a Z or ZL=)

Should be the same as both are 8mp. Maybe its the settings on the SP. The superior auto mode on the SP is kinda cmi. I usually use normal settings which gives a more natural effect to it.

Yup, just go to Download for PC - Sony Smartphones (Global UK English) download pc companion and update the lastest firmware. Make sure yr Xperia SP got at least 50% battery power to facilitate the updates!

Download latest firmware!

CHeck your camera button.

Mine send to sony xperia service centre since 25 May, bought on 21 may. Called them 3 times but none from the service centre reply to inform the status what is wrong on my phone.

Going to 2weeks liao without the phone.

you will like the size of the SP. was using a desire S too. sold it just before getting the Z and the SP. Z was a tad too big for me personally.

The only thing i can complain of is starting up of the camera with a slight lag vs the desire s which was almost instant. Switching from the htc to sony interface was fairly painless.

thanks for the response guys , seems like getting SP was the right choice as i was having quite a few over heating issues with htc

My Xperia SP refuse to off its LCD backlight when I am charging it (only when i press the standby button then it will off). Anyone knows how to solve this problem?

email to them. give them the date and time you called but yet to hear anything from them. If they do not respond within a certain time (eg 2 days if thats your threshold of tolerance), let them know you will write to CASE.

I suspect no parts/waiting for parts to arrive or they can't solve the problem. Try to see if they can give you a one to one exchange on the grounds that it has been 2 weeks and failure to call you back. Just because its a mid range handset, doesn't mean you deserve a mid range service.

If only they had given a better front cam for the SP. I really wish they did.

Is it possible for this phone to install/transfer apps directly onto the sd card without rooting? The 8gb internal memory seems to be a dealbreaker for me since i like to install lots of apps like games.

You should be able to move yr apps installed in the internal storage to the sd card. Settings-apps-Selected app-move to sd card iirc
