  • wifi association rejected and noise in cam in low light and superior auto still 8 mp not 20, and no scene mode for the 20 mp

  • Need more feature on stamina mode (reduce cpu and gpu speed for battery life, slow the frame rate to 30 -most app/game use 60fps, some developer said that reduce frame rate can increase battery life-, and reduce more brightness(but increase the white-ness). Camera noise and blur on low light environment and if we take a pic on the words isn't clear on mid range(Iphone 4 and 5 win) snap, close snap is awesome, every single words is clear.

    Auto clicking, sometime i put my finger in mid air, it assume touching -.-" dont know why... hope sony fix that. some user no responsive when touch, but me too responsive "May the Force be with you" HAHA.

  • Downloaded the new 4.3 14.2.A.0.290 the other day & it totally mucked up my Sony, nothing would work properly....it was like some cheap Chinese knock off....so unresponsive. Could not even get it to hook back up to my laptop to 'repair/back up' it....had to end up doing a reset that lost me everything.....was not happy.
    It is now on the 4.3 ........290 but the wifi keeps saying ASSOCIATION REJECTED.....hope this new 4.3 ....114 sorts this out but scared to download any new software updates now!!!!!!!

  • did the upgrade from 4.1 to 4.3 when it first came out, on my Xperia ZR. Wifi association rejected, decided to go back to 4.1 :(

  • Since the 4.2.2 to 4.3 "update" I can no longer use the hansfre function on my car audio system... Worked fine on 4.2.2.. Reported this to Sony and they said it wasn't their fault it was the car audio that was the problem.. Utter tosh...

  • Have the wifi association rejected issue and the battery drain issue... Please fix soon my phone just got replaced because of a no mobile signal in buildings issue, and now it's really getting annoying. I have only had my phone for 1 1/2 months...
