Sony Xperia acro S - User Reviews

  • It is 2019 and I still use it, battery shows 1900 000 uAh (in service tests) and the phone is almost 7y old (i feel like dinosaur) :P Love Xperia acro S (small, good in hand, still quite fast, ok camera, and etc.) but Sony new models doesnt last that long as the used to :( XZ1c and XZ2c are not so reliable. And when compare them with AcroS (7 year old model), where are the improvements? It looks like only 1..2y have passed or was the AcroS 5y from future :D So new phone would not be Sony, unfortunately. (My 5cents from Estonia)

  • it'd be a miracle if any company still updates their 6yo phone.....

  • Hy, may I ask you if you have upgraded the Android version of your phone? Mine is still 4.0.4 and the update center is not offering any updates!

  • I am still using this phone. A lot of apps are not supported by this phone now but I still love this phone.

  • When i read your posts i become gloomy about the phone

  • My phone keeps shutting down by itself and worst of all it has refused to come up for the past few days. What should i do?

  • My phone's power button is off, it's off. How can I open it?

I have so many times that I fell this phone in water, in stairs or in somewhere else place but still there's no problem using this. Over all, perfect!

  • oh! , look at the baseband version. when it got unknown you'll not be to solve it on your own self..... :( i got this problem too, when i update it the sim card is not accepted n still looking 4 answer.

  • My phone is malfunctioning. Can somebody tell a way to reset it.

  • Sony acros s is the best because of it autonomy,solidness and adaptation to new os version wid out problem

  • running BPaul's custom lollipop rom buttery smooth, you should use fstrim apps to make it run without laggs. still good for using social apps like whatsapp or facebook and etc. not a heavy champion any more. The only bad thing about it like other said is battery, worse than my old htc desire, you have to charge everyday heck even every 12 hours, with some basic texting and calling. sony did their worst creating a phone , Thanks for nothing Sony :D

  • This is very accurate.

  • I have my Sony Xperia Acro S for almost 3 years now. Sometimes is freeze or rage but never been a big problem. I think the battey are great! And if you turn on Power Saver then it almost don't use battery. My biggest concern is the memory on the phone. You can only have like 10 apps/games, 20 songs downloaded from Google Play and around 500 photos and videos. But I will recommend to buy a memory card! Over all the phone is great, the size is Perfect and it is a good working phone.

  • My acro S makes 3 years this november, with 0 problems. It was dropped, bathed in wine and sea / mountain rivers. After 3 years the battery goes from 14 % to 0 very fast. And the original screen foil has some bubbles in it. 2015 apps run a little slow, but i think i will use it 1 year more. Nothing to choose from theese days (waterproof).

  • not a dual sim one

  • I got this phone and probably this will be my last sony phone, No updates for new OS versions, Overheating when you use data connection ( Luckily I'm not a gamer), After you use few months it slowing down, sometime it's unable to even slide the button to answer a incoming call.

  • these mobile dual or single sim

  • to be honest...loves this phone. The audio kill me and also the camera on 12MP is awsome, but....the battery was the problem, its very overheated if I use for seeing longtime ~2mnts.

  • i am updated to jelly bean....now sim card is not supported...please help me....

  • Is there some Sony pen which would work on Acro S? BTW phone is great except battery

  • hi guyzzz.......i think that the camera is an awesome feature in this phone..........but sometimes battery issues as well as the over heating issues troubles me a lot........

  • Is Sony logo attached to the Shatter proof coating or glass??? sorry for my bad english...

  • where can i buy this in india??????

  • Soooo loading. When im deleting my messages, or photo it always takes time.

  • I think it has a lot of weaks,sometimes is slow,but is better than IPHONE 4,4S,5.I think that one of the most impressive phones are Samsung Galaxy S5,S6.Sony xperia Z3,Z4 tablet.And HTC are not bad.I use this phone 2 years and I am happy. P.S Sorry for my English.

  • Very slow

  • My mistake, first paragraph of my post should read: "Well, one of the the only weak points I've found with this phone was the RAM. This has 1 GB of RAM (686 MB accessible for applications) and was the flagship phone from Sony in 2012, now the flagship has 3 GB of RAM. This phone should have had 1.5 GB of RAM or more, but no cell phones did that I know of in 2012." I had just woke up and gave the wrong specifications on a site listing relatively every specification you could ask for. Everything else in my reply is accurate to the best of my knowledge.

  • Well, one of the the only weak points I've found with this phone was the RAM. This has 512 MB and was the flagship phone from Sony in 2012, now the flagship has 3 GB of RAM. This phone should have had 1 GB or RAM, but no phones did that I know of in 2012. To compensate for the lack of RAM (you can't upgrade it), there's a few things you can do: 1. Fully power it down every seven days or less to wipe the cache. 2. Delete or disable any apps you don't need. This phone arrives to the consumer with quite a few apps you'll probably never use. In its factory configuration (before you even download your first app) after being on for three days straight, it'll be consuming 75%-80% of the ram causing lag on movement and studders on video. 3. Make sure you don't have two programs that do the same function. Two of the most common complaints about this phone is "It just shut off on me" and that's from being out of RAM and crashing. The other is "After a couple days of use the keyboard lags" and that one is because of the limited RAM and factory settings. Meaning, this phone has its own factory texting features and because its an Android phone (and they're attached to Google) so it has "WhatsApp" which updates into "Hangouts". If you don't use that program then delete "Hangouts" and disable "WhatsApp" (you can't delete it). Then you should never have keyboard lag. I've had my Acro S for two years now and its never shut off on me and after removing the programs I've mentioned it can run for weeks at a time and I've never encountered keyboard lag since.

  • Buying this phone was a big mistake, the only thing that's good in it is the camera to be honest.. The phone is so slow and battery drains fast although I don't download games and I only download the necessary apps but it's still slow it kinda changed my whole opinion of Sony :(

  • I have issus with the battary status it shows 1% always even. While charge for long time but the battary last for long plzz help

  • I have issus with the battary status it shows 1% always even. While charge for long time but the battary last for long plzz help

  • how to reset our mobile phone when the phone cannot on.

  • Its Bn longer than a year to have acro s To B honest d phone isn't that impressive at all! ***D best feature is d camera, d qualiT of d photos r awesome, unfortunely d focusing pricess sometimes takes ages, therefore while filming blur parts r so possible. - due to very little RAM, only 600 something, d phone gets too slow, eespecially when ur online. Furthermore d battery gets hot. D problem runs after using instagram for instance. - Another problem is that there is no way to get a backup!!!eachtime i wanted to do so, it was said there was apassword set somewhere so NO backup happens!!! Hope sony does improve and solve these issues as soon as possible because customers can B d best way to advertise for the company.

Please help me post ur comment here including the tutorial step by step and pls link aslo the tools software here. Link it ols. Thanks

  • press the volume up+power button together for five seconds

  • Please, how do I force restart the phone when it hangs or refuses to on showing just the Xperia logo since the battery is not detachable? A quick reply will be greatly appreciated. Thank you

  • Just use ALWAYS class 10 or better if you get one micro SD with phones. (This is more tru for 8GB+ memories)

  • how can i upgrade my acro s to JB? without rooting the phone. thanks. can someone tells me if its okay?

  • i have a problem with my housing. i want to change it. is it possible? because the lower back casing is already jammed. and the top cover for the 3.5 jack is also broken. can you please help me. please can you also give me the idea how much it will cost. thank you

  • I've been using this phone for 2 years now and its the best phone if you look after it.I reset it after 2-3 months because it has got a 16 Gb external and internal and that will make it a bit slow but overall i love this phone the shape, size ,camera, walkman, water resistant except battery life

  • z2 is a flahship phone right now usually I dont buy flasgship devices I wait for them to depreciate because it's not wise to buy them its a waste of money since they are not too different from previous flagships. Im looking for a perfect phone for me but Cant find one. battery life is the first thing I consider when buying a phone second is a BIG storage since taking photos and recording videos in a high resolution consumes a lot of memory so big storage is a must. lastly the design, I didnt pick s4 since its a cheap looking phone.

  • haha dont worry the battery is just drained. Plug it for a while like 10mins and you can turn it on again...

  • This phone was just wonderful. Especially the waterproof stuff, it really worked in my case. My mobile was in my pant pocket and was in a bit hurry and dint check it before putting inside the washing machine and wrapped with lot of other clothes around. We just realised only after the washing is done approx 1hr washing. When I took it out it was still on and I just had to power it off and keep it for 1 day drying the sun.. Everything works as is and no damage done.. its worth for the money.. Yeah it heats a lot while playing games otherwise its all good..

  • Get the z2!

  • It is a very good phone :) but.. when i was playing a game it suddenly shut down due to low batt. i charged it and later, i tried turning it on but it doesn't turn on. what do i do? :(

  • Goodbye to my acro s .... ist hard bricked. I love this phone very much because of its durability and hate it for its battery life...now its gone ... can someone suggest a good phone? I was thinking of z1 compact but it looks ugly for me. Z1 looks good for me but I hate the battery life. LG G2 has no card slot, it will make my 32GB sd card useless. I dont want to go to also for s4 because its ugly looking. Lg g3 is expensive my budget is for 15-20k pesos only. HTC one is the previous generation snapdragon and ugly camera. dont know where to go now.

  • some one can help me to fix my acro s? .. i cannot use the sim slotcause its broken and sim card tray too ..

  • Time to root my phone. Its been year and a half and its time to see something new. After JB update graphics on most of the games was ruined. Artificial textures appeared and some parts of the games were not interesting. Such a problem can be eliminated by using a custom rom. I've seen that couple of performance roms are available for xperia acro s, so hope to make my phone interesting for another year.

  • Boys, why do you need Kit Kat?! Maybe you wanna make your sd card useless? Or you are curious to find out how many bugs you would have got with Kit Kat?

  • Is the ACRO S ever gonna get kitkat? that's what making me choose the Moto G over this right now...can anyone tell me ASAP

  • I've been using this fone for 18 months and here' what I can say, Image quality: 8.5/10 Internet browsing: 8.5/10 Video recording: 8/10 performance: 8.5/10 Sms/mms/calls: 9/10 battery life with internet browsing/gaming/walkman: 5/10 battery life with normal usage: 8/10 fyi: im using a prepaid broadband sim to my acro s and have it as a wifi hotspot witg 3-5 devices connected to it, and the battery only lasts for 3hrs. Enough for me. Cons. It logs yes it is, sometimes run slow, but its like human that needs to rest for a while from heavy usage. Internet browsing speed vs iphone 4s vs s3 I could say it compete with their speed. Download its the same.

  • Help me please - Z1C or Acro S? I mean not which one is better but quality/price. Acro S is 200$ cheaper in my country. Ok, the camera is 12mpx not 20, but nobody talks about weak flash and night shots. Acro S makes not only Full HD but Full HD with good details (check gsmarena's test). Yes, not like Z1C but still good. Ram and processor is worsе but maybe enough? And nobody cries from nasty Kit Kat! Nothing about bad sound too. And Z1C has scratchable back panel. The only thing makes me angry and moody: Acro S is 2 years old. And after all 200$ cheaper... What do you think?

  • I have sony xperia acro s its the best mobile ever everything ia perfect the camera the battery the speed its very coooool. :-D

  • I had a problem of not receiving incomes eg incoming calls bluetooth and also camera

  • Thanks, I'll try that, though I don't have so many apps, I'll try uninstall some,

  • I had a same problem also, it just because of your flooding apps installed. try to uninstall some apps, it will give some ram to breath. And let battery doctor apps do task killer. Make sure just use one task killer.

  • Lovely and good phone from Sony. No problem at all since from last 1 year. Very less and almost negligible affect of atmosphere on the device. Value for money and worth to cost as compared to other brand....My first phone that really worked under water, tested myself.

  • Seriously, if you are wanting a good phone that can handle most everything and take amazing pictures while also being water/sand/dust proof, this is your phone. Ive had it for 2 years now, and has given me no problems at all. True, battery life isnt the best, but for its price its worth it. Highly recommend it.

  • You are a great liar,xperia hater,my acro s,is almost 2years now,still awesome,I have no problem at all

  • hello very good...

Sony service center personnel also have no idea about the phone...this is my 2nd Sony phone and both diaapointed Me...my frnds also had negative experiemcest with sony....I am looking for other flagship brands this year.

  • I m using Sony xperia Acro S for past one year.. Its awesome. Before this i have used Smart phones in Samsung and Apple, out of that, Sony Xperia is the best. This was my dad choice.

  • where can i find a new black sony xperia acro s in normal price?

  • This is an interesting overview. I doubt that you actually handled all 3 devices. The most interesting thing is how much judgement can someone take just by looking numbers in the tables. First of all questions like the one you are answering are very stypid. People are lazy to look for the numbers and videos themselfs. The post questions like that hoping to hear an opinion which is not objective. What does it mean if you have more mAh or MPix o HD if these things are not functional, or the phone casing gives you feel like you hold piece of plastic for recycling?

  • Go for Xperia SP. It has got better CPU and GPU compared to Acro S; while it has the same CPU as of Xperia V, the GPU in Xperia SP (Adreno 320) is way better than that of Xperia V (Adreno 225). In terms of battery, too, SP has an edge over the other two. Moreover, it has got the fancier LED notification bar, which is more likely to turn a couple of heads in the crowd towards your direction.

  • Guys, i need your opinion.. I'm gonna buy a phone and I'm confused on which phone will I buy.. My choices are: Sony Xperia Acro S Sony Xperia V Sony Xperia Sp Which is the best of the 3 phones..?? Please help me.. :(

  • Been using it for about 1 1/4 year now, and have an issue with the battery getting weaker, losing the NFC sticker, body pretty beat up, paint on the earphone flap chiping off, and lacking internal storage. Overall, the other hardware and software stuff still ok and runs normally. Its is the greatest smartphone I have been used apart with my trusty old SE C905 for night photographing thanks to it xenon flash and infinity focus mode which Acro s don't have.

  • thanks to people who had replied me...its been a month since i used my phone underwater...donno whther moisture is still present in it...stil my camera makes many noise in pics..observing backlight a lot...any chance of reparing in inida..i bought this from dubai..warrantgy over

  • simply in the camera options go to data storage and select sd card.

  • Maybe you use it with mobile case while you are taking pictures underwater. For me I do not recommend it with mobile case if you are going to snap a photo underwater because it can cause a blurry pictures... Second the moisture will stay in the the mobile case even after you took the shot.. And it can affect the camera performance.

  • Go xperia acro s!!! Xperia v is same like acro s. who cares in 13 megapixel camera of v if it has a VGA front camera?! Xperia v lose.... 15 reasons to choose acro s and 12 reasons for v

  • Xperia V, because it has cortex-A15 cpu which is much faster then cortex-A9 cpu in the Xperia Acro s and gpu are slightly more faster.Battery,hmmm, i don't know. Heating issue on V still don't know(if heats up, dunk it in the water to cool it,easy). Its hard to say V is better in gaming than Acro s because I'm an Acro s user.

  • Which is better for gaming Sony Xperia Acro S or Sony Xperia V?

  • yes u can

  • Can i put strap at the buttom so i can put it in my wrist at xperia acro s?

  • I think xperia acro s is better

  • I want this phone although it doesn't have removable battery!!!

  • u should make 3d viewer fist, just surf it on youtube it gave you an idea. download any sbs (side by side) format 3d movie, play it on your acro s using mx player, mx player has an ability to fix the aspect ratio of the video the setting. put you acro s on the 3d viewer while the movie is playing. in 3d viewer just (DIY) used 3-layers of 3.0 grade chip reading eyeglass (2 usd)as an optical.

  • How to change font style? Acro s

  • It seems that you got numbers wrong. 4.4 is not available for S2. S3 is now receiving 4.3 (that is JB). Only google edition S4 and note 3 got official kitkat. All we can do is wait (until that time comes we can enjoy our device).

  • my friend use galaxy s2 compared to Acro s S2 have less specification but Samsung launch android 4.4 for galaxy s2 but sony doesn't launch 4.4 for Acro s. it's really foolishness for Acro. s users

And, what will cause my Acro S to lagg? the internal storage and sd card are still not full, just barely used 3-4 gb on the internal storage. Thanks.

  • 3 r awesome but if u want water proof chose Tx or acro, if u want update 4.4& bigger screen chose SP if u want hard phone & strong = acro s

  • press power button + volume up for seconds

  • First read opinions already posted and then ask question.

  • Awesome phone . . . Sony Hats off to you . . . !!!

  • Phn has non removable battery. It means battery can't replace when it get fault..?

  • hey guys! i m in a big trouble, pls help me if anyone can. my brother gifted me this phon 6 days ago i tried to update it to jb with my network data pacage. it is upgraded to jb 4.1.2 now but it is not showing network even sim is inside. i tried to reinsert and put another sim inside but it's not showing network of any career. i live in india and this phon is broght from out side of country. people in sony service centre said they never seen this phon before and with such kind of problem. so they gave it back to me. what should i do now? pls help.

  • Hi, The phone is actually waterproof. U just need to close the ports properly. I even had been for swimming with this phone in my pocket and nothing happened. Spilt tea and later washed completely. Still its fine. Its been an year now. Still it works like charm.

  • no, you can change it in any service agency, they can replace it easily

  • what is the best thing about acro s?

  • please someone should help me on how to repair ma acros s, just want to put in another sim and one of the pin got out so from then it couldnt accept any other sim.

  • what is better xperia acro s,sp or tx

  • Don't ever trust statements like "Water proof up to 1 meter and 30 minutes". I bricked mine completely in 5 minutes, 20 cm underwater. The obvious cause is that USB cap is not as hermetic as it is supposed to be, however, you won't be able prove that it was closed at all when you get it to repair.

  • that s right...

  • I got my Acros S 2 weeks ago and this last 3 days when i play a game it automatically pause. and it so Annoying! odes anybody knows how to fix it?

  • Hey Guys! I recently bought Xperia Acro S and I would like to connect my playstation 3 console to my xperia does anyone knows how it works??? Please try to answer my question friends... Thanks

  • Hey there! I love the phone but the sad thing is the non-removable battery... What if the battery gets faulty it mean the phone is dead right?

  • BatteryGuru is your friend

  • Please give me a tips, in which way it's battery charging will lasting more..... ?

  • This is perfect one

  • I bought it. The Phone is stunning, Walkman app and sound is BANGIN (u got many corrections and on) Capture quality is excellent.Wireless is very very fast, surfing is very fast too. I got 1 Issue and question to other owners, WHAT ABOUT Power Button i think my power button is gettin soft and sinked into the pannel a little ?

  • i try to capture under water in a dark place the result is perfect!!!!

  • Thank You!!!!

  • white would have been my choice but color doesn t makes any difference to phone specs. white color smartphones have a higher resale price.

  • I tested mine for about 4feet. Nothing happens, still working. :)

  • BTW.. Is it okay if i reach 2 meter w/ my xperia acro s?

  • What color of Xperia Acro S would you guys prefer me to buy?? Black,Pink Or White ??

  • I prefer you Acro S becaause it have better internal storage than xperia v and acro s also have better batery and front camera than xperia v.

  • Is it okay if I use my Xperia Acro S while swimming on a pool? I have second thought yesterday if it won't get stuck/damaged if ever i'll dip it for more than 1 meter. :/ #OC

  • And 1 more thing, acro s over xperia V. I suggest acro s, when it comes to durability and battery life and usage. Xperia acro s has a camera shutter key thats one of the reason why I chose this phone over xpV. XPV has no camera shutter key and no hdmi i think? Correct me if im wrong. And battery power of around 1700mah over 1950mah? The one thing I like about xperia V its a handy and has a replaceable battery. :)

  • I think it depends on what kind of user are you? Im using my xperia acros for about 4 months, so far its good! The only problem with this phone is battery life. If you're a gamer, I think this phone is not for you. 4-6 hrs of gaming drains your battery fast. I think thats the problem of previous xperia phones. But overall. Its a good a built durable,a bit handy and water resistant. I tested it in more than 1meter maybe about 4 ft. Still working. For its price range, its good enough.But if you're expecting more . Try their new released xperia zed phones, like xp Z,Zr,Z ultra or looking forward for the xperia Z1f. Btw, btw overheat is very natural in android phones but check the phone temperature. Im using screen protector and a nilkin case for my lt26w so that its not a bit bulky and still fits to my shirt's pocket. :)

  • pleaze tell me that which one i should buy acro s xperia v i like the design of acro s more. pleaze tell me

  • Please, feel free to try some of the samsung and LG products.

  • please check the background program and,, uninstall unnecessary program.. or activate battery saver.. I hope it will help you..

  • Is Acro S better than xperia p (my current phone)?? How is the camera result?? And upgrading to JB is a good idea?? Does it impact the performance of phone? Looking for a quick response

  • The material selection of the back is unacceptably poor. I have my Acro S since six months now, and with a normal use, it's full of scratches. I hoped something durable from an IP 57 certified Sony phone. Otherwise the programs run smoothly, and I like it.

  • i'm planning to buy this one on my birthday (23rd) but i was disappointed with some of the bad comments below. and someone told me that it has an issue about upgrading to jelly bean, he said it has a problem. is that true???

  • I got problem with the battery.it Decreases very fast.How can i fix this ?

  • look into tipidcp.com

  • D best phone ive ever had, been used 4s, samsung and nokia lumia, n8,n9. acro s is superb nothing to worry if u are using like u are in a wet place, all hd apps movies and everything can be installed, great camera, smooth and fast screen response, I also called my party phone :)

  • I've been looking for it too... i saw 1 shop at SM Megamall they said that it's 17,000 + i can't remember the exact amount, but i have a source that they sell it in just 14,000 pesos

  • Guy's what phone will you prefer to me Sony Xperia Acro S or iPhone 4s??

  • hello friends this phone is very veri nice iam a iranian best phone is acro s

  • all ram memories are the same. how do you expect os to work? when you have on your pc 2gb of ram, how much is free? operating system needs ram in order to function!!!

  • Why specification say 1 GB RAM but when I check the set,only 634MB? Felt cheated cos sometime display slow and freeze split sec

  • which one is better CPU Dual-core 1.5 GHz Scorpion or cpu Dual-core 1.5 GHz Krait or cpu dual-core Cortex-A9 ?

  • guy'z dis is the bst phone & J.B is awesome on dis device strongly recommended

  • Did acro s is better than xperia s or sl ? Why ?

  • If you want LTE support(much faster browsing), more slimmer look, faster CPU(because its using S4 chipset rather than old S3 chipset use by Acro S, thats why it faster even though both clocked at 1.5 ghz), a bond phone(lol), a bigger camera MP, lighter weight and a removable battery, go for V. If want longer lasting battery(like I played GOF2 continuously and it take only 30% per hour), can snap photo underwater(it has camera button which V does not having because touchscreen doesn't work in water), back home menu key not screen, better front cam and tougher build material, go for Acro S. Cons for both are they heat up very quickly, bad viewing angle(which doesn't matter by me), speaker are not that power(because of the waterproofing).

  • can i upgrade my acro s to jelly bean 4.2 or 4.1 is it work smooth like icream sandwich?

  • my phone is much better i guess than any of your phones...3210 durability & uniqueness, superb... no offense, it's also antique...just kidding.. sony phones are superb in performance.

  • Acro S is more preferable cause it has larger internal memory 16GB. but Xperia v has only 8 GB. Acro S has 1970 mAh battery where Xperia v has only 1700mah

  • acro s more safety

  • What's TFT Stands For?

  • What would prefer tome Sony Xperia Acro S or Sony Xperia V ??

  • go for acro s

  • Battery now lasts shorter than in ICS but I am satisfied with the JB. A lot of thins function better. I think that now the phone charges faster.

  • good one

  • i use acro s before but compare with old model htc incredible s or sensation xe. quality camera sony shit. old model htc 2010 has camera quality better than sony

  • The acro S is better than all the phones......

  • They are pretty much the same. Only Acro S got better screen (LCD) then xperia V (TFT). I'll go for Acro.

  • steps to make xperia battery lasts longer 1.fully drain the battery 2. remove sim card 3. charge telephone overnight in off position do this for 3 times and you will see the improvement, tried with my xperia z and it worked!

  • battery life is limited...what is the solution for this???

  • Good: 1. Fast processer even it use old cheapset 2. 1 gb ram but actually is 627 mb only 3. Battery last long if using doesn't over heated it 4. Fast GPS connection 5. Can capture picture under water using camera button 6. Great camera quality 7. Good built quality 8. Great HD display for playing HD video Bad: 1. Browser constantly crash when open heavy page 2. Power button and up volume button sometime doesn't work in JB (it's really bad when off button doesn't work) 3. Won't charge if playing the phone while charging 4. Walkman constantly stop by its self 5. In-built screen protector easily sratch make the display ugly 6. Hard to touch the home,back,menu button 7. Quickly run out of ram 8. Hard to press the camera button Tips: 1. If the phone over heat so quickly, try using anti-virus and then scan for virus. It solve the heating. 2. When trying to capture picture under water, just press and hold the camera button half way down before submerge into water and when submerge press the camera button fully down. 3. Use the charging dock for fast charging connection rather then open the USB flap.

  • hi...i have a question: which one is better? xperia acro s or xperia ion

  • After I update to JB in any game stopped while playing i've to press continue. Any one have the solution for this?

  • Hello, can anyone tell me where can i buy Xperia Acro S in Malaysia please ?

  • I am using this phone about 8 months. very good performance. Battery life is good

  • heeyy!!!! can nybody tell me that acro s is good ot not,, about its feachers...i want 2 buy this phone,, plss reply frnds

  • the battery sucks... it sucks!!!!

  • why the battery drains faster??? anyone has the idea why??? normal use only.

  • I got speed nearly 4.6Mbps in my acro s

  • at least sony should give us a bug free update for this whats the use of this if we cant capture hd video while we still have a capable phone

  • yep I know that...I am just asking if someone has already reached it...Because I am observing my network operator whether it's ugly or not, I want to confirm that they are not giving/limiting me to 1-3Mbps data rate. I am testing my DL rate usually at dawn so that there are only few users that are connected and ensure a peak DL rate. So I have to confirm why I can't go higher than 3Mbps, is it a network related or an invalid specs sheet.

  • I don't think so. At least no official update. And the official update to JB is not completed. Like the cyanogen rom it degrades camera on the phone. Comparing to the competition, this phone is expensive a lot if the camera is degraded. There will be custom roms but I believe that sony will bury us with the JB.

  • Will there be a any new update for acro s after 211?

  • I'll Buy This Phone Probably On 13 August, As In My Knowledge I Think It's Worth Buying, I Do Admire All Of The Specs, However Would Like To Know Is There A Real Big Difference In The Camera Of Acro S And Xperia Z ? Thank You :) x

  • Data speeds depends on your network operators back haul and network load! so its hard to get full data speed of 21.1 Mb/S or 14.4Mb/S on standard usage conditions.

  • Oh@ executive mobile I liked so much I love acro S t

  • Oh@ executive mobile I liked so much I love acro S t

  • TX is better.

  • Your question is very interesting. Most of us have only acro s so we can not compare it with the others to answer you. It all comes down to you. You are lazy to read opinions posted bellow.

  • i had white acro .... it was beautiful...BUT,battry was killing me it drained in 12 hours just with normal gaming...web browsing i was a fan of sony ihad arc after that p then acro s...i would buy z...but after acro...i changed my mind and went for samsung... sony i want super battery!!

  • I am confused, please suggest which one is best among Xperia Acro S, SP, V and TX?

  • simly awsome.but I think battery life is little bit small.any acro s user can tell me is airgasture function avialable in this device?

  • Guys so far,what is the maximum transfer rate of your mobile internet on acro s?..I am only reaching 2-3.2Mbps.I know that the modem max speed on hsdpa network is 14.4mbps which is equivalent to 1.8MBps..but I am only getting around 200-400KBps rate on my network...it is around 1.6-3.2Mbps...I want to know if someone reached already the max modem speed which is 14.4Mbps?

  • asphalt 7 dsnt wrk need help

  • why not supported video call only voice call?

  • why not supported video c all only voice call?

  • hey man this phone doesnt lag its awesome in every thing games are smooth in it internet speed rocks only one problm battery drains fast

  • You can always cross flash acro s hd to a regular acro s but I can not guarantee that it will work flawlessly, you can encounter some bugs by doing it..so please check first

  • oh before I forget the ROM is intended for Xperia Acro S LT26w,, the international variant, not for acro s HD the japanesse variant..!!do not crossflash!!!if your phone is the acro s hd do not follow my instructions!, Check your phone first before proceeding!!it's a very risky task if you do not know what you are doing!

  • Nope your wrong..you can always downgrade to ICS even your current ROM is JB..just use flashtool to downgrade..

  • did you dropped your phone?...

  • Forget it I am not very sure if it will fix your problem, all I know is that you don't have a hardware problem, most cases are just bugs and software related. I don't want to waste your time and disappoint you at the end if it will not resolve your problem. But if you really want to try okay fine. WATCH this, it is a tutorial how to how to FLASH you only need three things.. -pc companion(so that proper drivers for your phone will be installed, just google it) -flashtool(just google it) - ROM(try this ROM it's a stock JB from middle east, after downloading this paste it on the Firmware folder on the flashtool installation directory) here's a link assuming you have all the requirements, installed PC companion, flashtool and download the rom for your phone proceed now. 1)open flashtool(check first if your phone is properly detected by flashtool by plugging your phone on your computer) 2)click the thunder like icon 3)select flashmode, select the rom or the ftf file you have downloaded.( do not tick/check anything from the exclude: and check all three on the wipe: portion. Also tick no final verification. 4)click flash 5)turnoff your phone 6)connect the usb on your phone while holding down the volume down button.(as the green led apears it will start to flash your phone)DO not try to disconnect the phone at this point or it will be BRICKED!! 7)wait for it to finish, disconnect and power up your phone. "it will take a few minutes to startup". and your done you succesfully flashed to a different firmware on a different region. I am not responsible to any damage that will cause you if you did something wrong. take note also that flashing will wipe all your apps(on the 2Gb partition), but will not wipe anything on the 11GB partition(On the internal SD partition) so please use backup and restore so that you can return your apps after.

  • best phone.no problem.

  • hi i got this fone thru ebay recently damn good fone only few thing jus wanted to chk is the battery drains too fast even afterthe update also checked that games like asphalt 7 dsnt wrk do i have to get a particular version for that please let me knw what ckind of games will run on this model

  • i have a problem on my acro s camera focusing. how to fix this camera focus issues? rom stock 4.1.2 jb 6.2.B.0.200.tia

  • sony xperia acro s is a great phone, when im using it the internet the conection is very fast..amazing!..i've been using it for six months already..

  • The speed and battery has considerably improved after the update and I suggest u go for the update....i dont think it is possible to go back after u update....bt I can assure u that u will nt regret updating

  • Bro if u are looking for gaming I suggest u not to go for this fone as it keeps hanging even for simple games...the fone is very slow and keeps hanging

  • James, I am not so familiar with the procedure you suggested. Could you please explain in other words, so that i will understand what to do? Thank you

  • as you have said it is working already with the other operator sim...try flashing a middle east country rom on your phone and put the sim that made your phone restart as you use your data connectivity...I am not very sure about this thing...

  • hey guys, can anyone help me with my previous post?

  • 6.1.A.2.55(ice cream and sandwich) is outdated already my friend, 6.2.B.0.200(jellybean) is the newest, 6.2.B.0.211 for middle east regions but it is also the same as the build 6.2.B.0.200. I would recommend to upgrade your phone to 6.2.B.0.200. You can upgrade by installing PC companion on your PC. Or by manually flashing your phone. 1--There are some improvement's on Jellybean just like offline speech to text translations, quick toggles on the pull up notifications,improve battery life,smoother UI transitions,small apps, some added features on the camera and a whole new UI experience. 2--Everyone have tried it ..maybe??? 3--Yes you can always downgrade(but will lost everything to be specific the apps installed on your phone, but you will not loss anything from the internal SD partition...the 11GB one so it means that if you save all of your photos and videos on that partition they will not be wiped even when you upgrade or downgrade the phone to a different software build) All I can tell do not be afraid of upgrading. and DO NOT BLAME ME if you upgraded and encountered a problem. I can help as long as I can BTW one drawback is the 1080p vid recording it's laggy. 720p is okay.

  • it's an below average performer(on my opinion only)..do not expect a lag less experience on all games. There is no such thing, because there are a lot of reasons why it lags. not just hardware related but sometimes it can be also software related. Try saving your money a little bit, and try looking around and consider other brands. If you are really decided then go for this handset, but do not expect miracles okay?

  • Hey guys!! I'll buy this phone next few days, but i want to make sure about it's gaming performance.. i mean does it lag or crash for some heavy games?? thanx :)

  • Malaysia..mine is 6.2.B.0.200

  • hi guys i just bought my acro s last july 1, 2013 here in the phils. and then i got a notification *new system update available v6.1.A.2.55. i havent update my phone since i bought it and as of now im still contented with its original version. but now im curious. 1* what heppen when you update the phone? 2* does any of you guys tried this version? 3* if ever i dont like the update result, can i still go back to restore the original version?

  • hi guys i just bought my acro last aug.1,2013 in the phils and then got an notification new system update available v 6.1.A.2.55. *1 does anyone of you guys tried this version? *2 hows the performance? *3 just incase you update your phone and your not satisfied with the result, can you still go back restore the original version?

  • Hey guys. I have some problems with my acro s. when i use the data traffic from my service provider it is restarting frequently. if i turn data OFF, the phone is working great. When i turn it ON it starts restarting. Sometimes it could restart in 5 minutes, other times it may be a day or a half. I already got a new sim, the problem still exists. I did first a soft reset, then a hard reset, no success. Then i did a repair using the PC Companion which also updated my version to 4.1.2. No success this time again. Then i used a sim card from another service provider and i noticed that it is working fine even when data is ON. Can anyone suggest me what the problem is? I believe the problem is in my operator, however they can't find it as well. i checked my phone with the new sim from other operator for a month and it did not restarted at all. hope somebody will be able to help. thanks.

  • acro s has a better camera and he is lighter (not heavy)and has hdmi.

  • Between Xperia acro S and SL, which one should I buy and Why?? Plz guys help me. I'm CONFUSED...

  • In my opinion the Acro S has better features than the Xperia V, except for the processor... everything else is the same or better on the Acro S... It has a shutter button for camera, a better front facing camera, has HDMI port, it includes a charging station in the box, and finally it has more 3G Bands for market compatibility. Either way both phones are great.. just make sure you get what you're looking for

  • this phone is the best phone wich i have use....

  • Xperia V is a better feature phone. But Xperia Acro S has other advantages e.g. Camera (can be used underwater) because it has a shutter key unlike V and the front camera is great for video calls.

  • V is better thn acro s and s

  • acro s water prove is working properly under water :D

  • which one is the better phone xperia S or xperia V or Xperia acro S ?

  • Read opinions posted below.

  • IT's already here and I'm using it since February 2013.I bought it for 18 grand back in February.

  • Hi, how can i use the ant + in this mobile? Please do help me. Thanks from philippines here.

  • hi every body. i've already update my acro,but the wifi is go out of range,what can i do now?

  • Hi. Just want to ask on how to update the firmware. I updated already my phone to JB but the build number is still 6.2.B.0.200?how can I update it to 6.2.B.0.211?pls help. Thank you!:)

  • some users also reported that after installing JB their rocker keys is not properly working anymore. Try reinstalling JB again or downgrade to ICS via Flashtool and observe if it is still there. If it is a software issue most probably reinstalling the ROM will solve the problem...I already installed JB a lot of times on my phone, from 6.2.B.0.200 to 6.2.B.0.211 so far I have never encountered that kind of problem. BTW from which country you are?...maybe it has something to do with the firmware released by your country. Try reinstalling 4.1.2 with a different region (eg. hongkong rom)via flashtool.

  • WHY to root...? If you are fun of modding your phone the first step is to root then modding will now follow. Rooting will also help you install cracked apps such as poweramp etc. it will also help you to do mods such as swapping your internal SD card to your external SD card..meaning apps Data and Cache will be installed on external SD card instead on internal memmory and many more. Keep in mind that: Rooting can void your warranty and as long as you unlock the Bootloader, by time you unlock your bootloader you can now install any custom kernels and Custom Roms.. But you can still ask for warranty even though you already unlocked your bootloader(because it can be relocked again and you can unroot anytime)and as long as it is not cpu related issues because you can spoil your CPU by installing a custom kernel and Overclocking it. keep in mind that warranty is advance payment for future repairs. "If you spoil your CPU and they do not repair it what is the importance/essence of buying a phone with warranty anymore if they will not repair it??"Right?I am not telling you also that if you spoil your CPU they will automatically repair it. take note also that you do not need to unlock your Bootloader if you just want to root or if you want to install a custom rom and try a different android ROM other than the stock sony ROM which is what you are using now,Another thing also, some ROMs require an unlock BL but some DO NOT require unlock BL as long as the rom is a stock kernel based rom..BTW they will always mention it whether a rom is intended for Unlocked or locked Bootloader... ROOT is very important. If you do not want to mod your phone and mess it, still it's okay You can just simply root and install cracked apps, and destroy a game by cheating, saving your battery by controlling the cpu and freezing system apps that is on background those few things can only be done when you are rooted. I am not ENCOURAGING EVERYONE to install cracked apps an mess a game, Please support the developers, they deserve it. Visit XDA developers for more info. Use the search bar to look for your phone's appropriate forums/discussion thread.

  • I've already updated my phone to JB since 1st week of June... Now I'm just thinking if I should root it or not.

  • I mean after rooting, what's the next step?

  • i don't think so..maybe you could find help to your grandchildren or to someone who understand and to use your fone.

  • Guys just want to ask a question...Did you ever seen 3g status indicator beside your signal bar?..I have only seen it once ever since I bought this phone...I notice that even you are connected to 3g network the 3g status indicator beside the signal bar is not showing...Does it only show when you are using data traffic?...I tried turning on my data but still no 3g network indicator showing.

  • anyone who use xperia SP .. i wanna ask bout the main and 2nd camera .. is that camera good result ..? and front camera is good even in the min light ..? thx for answer ..

  • no more overheating after jellybean update 4.1.2

  • Install the jellybean update man, it will solve all the previous bugs

  • Yes men! I really did dipped and even tried to take a snapshot under sea water. Phone still is working! But I would take note of your advice though.. :)

  • salt water?I guess what you did is, put an iodize salt on tap water?,then soaked your phone?=)...It's a suicide man..Frequent immersion of your phone in ocean water without added protection will kill YOUR PHONE..just a piece of advise so that in the end you will not regret anything. BTW VOTE for this phone guys...nothing to lose anyway..

  • update to andorid 4.1 , wifi is work and hang in seloved

  • Cool phone for me.. So far after my update to Jellybean it becomes more responsive. Battery life is okay, well it actually depends on how you are using your phone, if you use it more on games of course it will drain your battery much faster. Also tried suing it on fresh water and Salt water, Haha! Still functioning well.

  • i've been using sony phones since it was sony ericsson and i never had any problem with the product i'm not heavy game user and i'm not a fan of samsung although it's very popular android phone i'm still a fan of sony and almost evryone i know is using samsung so i wanna be different and i like the style of sony phones. thank you for the advice

  • I updated mine to jellybean and it performs way better than ICS, it fixes all of the previous bugs.

  • thank you i'd rather buy this than v since there still sod prob. on the phone i want a phone that i don't need to update to jellybean in order to prevent it from shutting downn i'm ok with ics and it has bigger memory than v so i decided to go with this thanx for the help. it's 16k in cellway and v is 17k so id rather stick with acro thanx again

  • hi i bought it 2 weeks ago it's android 4.0.4 the wifi is not working..can find and connect but it wont load any page and 2 times my massages disappeared and i turned it and solved 1 time hanged and i couldnt turn it off but got solved in 3 mins 1 time stoked in xperia when i turned it on and when i removed the sd card it solved do you know what i should do? every body says its because of updates if i install android 4.0.0 again would it be ok? or is any good update without any probs?

  • i am from phils too, acro s is more sturdy than v, higher battery capacity on paper compare to v. the only thing that v had advancement is its mobile bravia 2 engine but i dont think it has brought a huge difference. specially after the jellybean update, acro s had become more responsive and less frequent of lagging. charging dock if of the most valuable accessory keeping the ports cover intact so maintaining its ingress protection level. acro s is a well planned and supported mobile from sony hardwarewise.

  • it depends upon your needs ...But this phone is a average phone....if I where you I am going for s3..just add a little it is better than this...If I have the chance to trade my phone for s3 I am willing to do it...I bought this because of massive battery capacity but it has poor battery life considering it has 1900mah. just a piece of advice if you are going to buy a phone consider the battery life and performance..

  • im sorry i knw acro s is xperia but would rather stick to acro s than xperia v? v and acro s here in phils are almost same price but im having second thoughs on the xperia v since it has sod prob in your opinion which one is better

  • Updated to 4.1.2. Till now its performance s awesome.. Enjoying all new features..happy about not facing any probs as others say...butwhenever I get a text msg from someone, the whole msg (I mean the entire msg) gets diaplayed in the notification bar...how to get rid of this. ..pls can anyone help?!?!

  • Water proof up to 1 meter and 30 minutes. i think no. lol :D

  • acro S is still a xperia...............

  • would you rather stick to acro s than xperia? i'm having problem what to buy. i like the v but it has sod problem so i decided to go to my option 2 which is acro s cn someone help me

  • is it waterproof??

  • well your lucky man...but never immerse it again on salt water if you want it to last. If I am using it on the beach I do not immerse it on water..sprays are tolerable but immersion, is not safe.. If you want to immerse it on salt water you can put a water resistant skin on it,just like on the s3,since it will not corrode plastic....It's like a condom for your phone...so that it will not be infected by HIV =)..immersing it on salt water without protection is a suicide. Watch this it's a skin that makes phone water resistant

  • Here is my opinion (Using this phone from January) READ FOR SOME USEFUL TIPS ABOUT UPDATING TO JB AND USING THE PHONE! One of the best device you can get on your hand! Every function is at the best level! Great finish and nice design! Black color unit is a beaty! Camera features also at the best level with good light (Coz these aren't DSLRs)! Video quality is same as described above! Even in the dark good with flash! Used this phone in a POOL more than 20mins (not completely emerged) for camera purposes! Even I wash the phone when the display becomes oily because of use! (when water goes to the earphone above the display leave it for 10 minutes because water doesn't goes in but due to wetness when calling hear a low sound than normal, so let it dry) Other than that no water problem can use in any rain without that problem!(it's not a problem) My unit have a 1 dead pixel but ok great display with BRAVIA and I can't even see the dead pixel so before you buy check it out! Some times charge the phone 2s a day because of heavy DATA TRAFFIC activities and normaly 1 charging per day is enough for my normal usage! And even I have used this phone for 3days and 6h with data traffic (just used to check fb). I dont care about using when charging and unplugging when charging and even shut down and charge, I do anything due to my need! As a habbit I always kill apps after using apps! And thats all about it! Sony, so nothing to worry about! 1 of the best phone in the market! I wanted to buy a Galaxy S4 because of its cool features but still using this because of S4 plastic played out design!waiting for S5 with a cool design! Feel confident to use this phone anywhere because of it's look and water resistance feature.! good way to update to JELLY BEAN is bellow! 0 - Check the PC for virus 1 - Charge the battery upto 100% 2 - Take SD out and put data into pc and format 3 - Do a factory data reset 4 - Update to Jelly Bean 5 - Start phone and do a factory data reset 6 - Put back the SD and format WELL IT FEELS LIKE A FRESH UPDATE!!

  • salt water is different from tap water, never put your phone on salt water because it can corrode any types of metal...even a pool water since it is salty, salt water speed up corrosion. Even a stainless steel when immersed to salt water it will corrode. A tiny amount of salt water entering your phone is very delicate because it will corrode it's parts and will hardened if not dried that's why it is not advisable to put it on salt water...Your phone is now grounded I guess because of salt water. sorry to say man but your phone now is a zombie...It can be never be fixed again unless they replace the corroded parts. The worst that might happen is that battery will explode due to grounded parts and eventually your battery will swell if that happens that is a sign that your phone is grounded because of salt water,..Bring it to service center immediately before corrosion eat the parts completely

  • Is it normal in a day that the battery is low , in a normal usage ?? Sometimes i have to charge twice.

  • James was right, Check the link, , no wonder why only my phone is damaged =\

  • I didn't know it's not salty-water resistant !! But everyone use it !! I just checked the manual, it says not to use in Ocean water and swimming pool !! so what's the point of being water resistant !!???? is it all damaged now !

  • is there any signs that this devices would receive 4.2.2?...I hope so.but I guess it's just a dream..

  • actually, i was able to use this phone at the beach twice. we took pictures under water.. videos under water and its been two months since i use it in salted water.. until now its working perfectly. the only problem that i encountered with this phone is when i upgraded it to jelly bean,is the video, it hangs/logs. nothing else. i hope that sony will be able to address and resolve this particular concern of their customers.

  • jellybean update = slow performance, data traffic not functioning, some the apps ain't working. hope it will fixed in the next update :(

  • of course you can....You can even play Real racing 3 on it...I am playing real racing 3 on it and it's working smooth..

  • oh, why did you put it on salt water!??you can even read it on your manual!.

  • just turn off the phone and charge it..do not turn it on...

Try it , it might be work for your prob

  • Hello Ever since my Jelly bean update on my Xperia Acro S I have had the following problems:- Camera does not respond, even third party camera. Might work after phone reboot. Walkman app also fails to respond or play music Album app fails to open all pictures, some just show as blank boxes Phone refuses to shut down, will show the shutting down msg for over 5 minutes until I press volume up and power button. The notification area disappears at times, home screen and apps take up full screen. Phone does not show in PC although it will indicate it's connected Battery drain is extreme even on standby with mobile data and Wi-Fi off I still cannot download from Google Play using mobile data or from default browser. I look forward to your reply. I fear some of these bugs maybe native to my device as I have not seen then in discussions and forums.

  • hope to have the update in phil. cnt wait to explore JB version.

  • Hi guys, I updated my acro s to JB by flashing. Got the tft file from XDA. I say the ICS was better in terms of battery saving. My phone won't last a day now. I have to charge it in mid-day. Also if i open an app/doc like pdf file and I press the home screen all the icons inside the folder (homescreen) are blank, then after few seconds they will appear as if they were still loading. The rest are much better than ICS. Love the small app, so handy. I don't know if it was the tft file i used thats causing this problem. So far there are no updates yet here in UAE as per other users.

  • just purchased this phone yesterday for $499.00 from noel leemings Hamilton awesome phone I love the camera I love the design and features of it wifi works a treat so much memory and space I spilt coke on it this morning and it still goes as its waterproof I love it also had a shower with it and its great :) nice work sony I love it

  • Hey, you can see how to install here :

  • How can I upgrade my Acro S into JB? plss..help.. #simplegirl :)

  • it's really anoying again..my screen work turn off even at standby..I tried changing the settings to 30sec and 15..and nothing happens..

  • i have a problem with WiFi please help me? how can i connect to WiFi ( now i had to restart my phone 3 or 4 times that i can connect to WiFi )

  • When will be updrade for Latvia? :(

  • incoming msg GUI is in blue background with the black font color outgoing is in white background w/ the black font unfortunately its the default GUI and we can no longer change it. try installing handcent SMS, theme launchers or other 3rd party apps which allows you to customize the GUI of you phone.

  • it's really anoying..the backup and restore on JB has no option of restoring an individual app from a backup record...if you try to restore just an app you can not because all of the content of the backup will be restored!..Sluggish video recording, and Poor battery life!!wasted my time..reverting back to ics...I hope they fix it asap. especially the backup and restore.

  • jellybean update is a waste of time...

  • just updated too... what's the GUI color of your messaging? white? is the a way i can have it something dark?

  • thank u 4 ur advice

  • Yes Its sluggish....i tried mine too...and I find it lagging....use other camera app...battery is draining faster also

  • Mine was okay..just updated to JB..there was an added feature....capture pictures while recording a video.

  • JB update now available in manila... love the UI, particularly the cam interface. Everything seems fine for me except for the Full HD recording. it lags or theres some sort of a delay when you capture a video and play it. Question anyone experience the same prob? or what can you say after you updated your units to JB?

  • For the ones who didn't upgrade: I didnt make any backup but did it thru the pc copanion. All my data is preserved. In order to get the update I chanded my dns UK server works fine). I had issues with the camera and I was just going to buy a Samsung. But because I like the interface of Sony I did gave a last chance changing the dns. The upgrade takes time. It took 1.5 hours (I belive that the backup was included). No faster battery drainage after jb. But there is a new setting to preserve the battery. Use it...

  • I've recently upgraded to jb 4.2.1. No more camera issues + picture during video + super interface + faster + energy saver + better bluetooth. Before the update I wanted to sale it. Now I will definetly stay with Sony. Loyal customer need more often updates. If not will say just bye. Sony should invest more on the software development. And last thing... Native video still missing.

  • acro s is the best one because it is a water proof and 1GB ram

  • Even though I am a Lumia 920 user, I have to say, Xperia Acro S is the most balanced and long term Android phone out there in practical usage scenario. You can get a better CPU + RAM in other phones but this phone is really balanced. It has a retina quality screen which gives really good legibility when using. Bravia engine won't be visible to a lot of users. Big battery which will last one day easily on moderate usage with 3G connected all the time. Water and dust proof which actually comes handy in cities where it rains a lot unexpectedly. I have real world experience with this. 16 GB inbuilt memory is a lot for installing apps on Android for most users. Not everyone install heavy games etc. Another 16 GB can be used in MicroSD slot for saving pictures, music and videos only. 720p front camera is very handy for skype. If you don't like the OS, install a custom ROM.

  • mates, can you say which phone is better sony xperia acro s,xperia t,xperia v or tx .i am an average user

  • Thanks for thaT bro! thanks so much for that =) this helped me alot and now i can enjoy what i was enjoying on my acro S but this time with JB! ,,, AWSOME =)

  • -open backup and restore, select the backup destination(internal if you want to store it on the internal sd card the 11gb partition, if you use sd card it will be stored to your external sd card) - select data types, and mark everything. -hit backup and wait for it to finish after you update your phone -open backup and restore again and then select the "record you want to restore" and select your saved backup the name of the saved backup is the date you created it -hit restore and wait for it to finish. BTW you must have enough space on your storage because it will take a lot of space if you have a lot of apps.it can take up to 2gb of space(maximum), since it will only backup the 2gb partition on your internal memory.

  • If u store it on internal memory it will be stored to the internal memory card..but if u use but if you use rhe sd card it will go to the external mmc.just use it and mark everything...all your contacts,messages and apps will be fine..after u backup just restore from your backup.. When you update your phone or flash it only the 2gb partition will be wiped everything fron the internal sd card will remain...

  • GUYS, FOR THOSE WHO UPDATED VIA SUS: on the step CONNECT, does it really take a lot of time before proceeding to the CONFIRM part? Been on this part for more than an hour already...

  • Damn. After the Jelly Bean update, the battery keeps on draining faster than before.

  • sill not get the update by SUS !!

  • Just updated Acro S in Sri Lanka and quite satisfied. Recommend to use "SONY Update Service" PC program to update rather than PCC. I've been using that to update my Xperia phones for several years and its fast and reliable.If anyone having trouble updating with PCC try SUS.Once you update, factory resetting and formatting internal storage will further optimize the phone.Make sure to keep backup of your contacts and files in SD card.(if necessary.

  • ok but where do i back it up to?,, To the SD card or internal memory?, how do i use Restore and Back up?,, pls help ,, i already have the Update stairing at me from my PC screen. i just dont want to loose those apps and games,,,

  • if your phone heat use a task killer software it,s effective you should kill task each hour

  • I Also had a Xperia Acro S. My phone usually heats up when using wifi or playing heavy games(temple run, candy crush etc) 10-20 mins and my battery drains very quite quickly. I think this is normal for the phones that uses dual core proccessor consumes twice the power for it is feeding two hungry cores. When on idle mode or just texting and music well its ok so guys no need to worry about the battery life for we are not using a CELLPHONE but a SMARTPHONE. The battery life depends on our usage. OKAY??

  • What to do with ram drainage? This is android problem but I am experiencing it on my Xperia. After some time, the available (600 and some Mb) of ram memory comes down to 100 or 50Mb. I have installed a lot of apps (in order to take full advantage of android market) but this problem now is independent on the number of apps or the storage memory. I have task killers and ram blowers but they become less and less useful. I am forced to shut down the phone more often or to root it (which I dont want). What else can I do? Now I truly see how bad android os is.

  • Hi i am planning to get this fone thru EBAY and i stay in MUMBAI so juz wanted check wil there be any issue with the service center as it has not released officially in India so please let me know wil that be a issue as i am really keen to get this fone

  • No use. You can tell your friends and your girlfriend that you have it. For PS1 and PS2 games I use emulators.

  • what is the use of PlayStation certified

  • It will be better if they add an update to the upcomming jellybean. an update that allow the user to lock the screen using the lock button while in camera mode and mainting the lcd on..just like the feature of mx video player..you can lock the screen while watching movie...

  • It will be better if they add an update that will lock the screen when in camera mode and only unlock it by using the lock keys only..

  • Guys, for those whose phones have already been updated to JB will the notification bar be like the one on Xperia Z after the update?

  • is a transcend class 4 8gb micro sd card compatible with xperia acro s? thanks.

  • Hi please tell me the correct date for jellybean update I am waiting for that please reply me..

  • yes, it has and tried it using Astro file manager, can copy and paste from usb to phone and vise versa. It's a good phone. i love it then z because z does not have USB on the go function.

  • i have used mu acro s several times when i were in the philippines for vacation. what i did is, if you want to take a photo, first press halfway the shutter button , then bring it to the water and press it fully . and if you want more shots , just press the shutter again without doing the initial step. Same thing when you want to take a video, go to video mode then press record and bring it to the water and it will work fine. I enjoyed this phone but be sure the caps or the lids are close tightly before going into the water.

  • i have used my acro s several times underwater. What i did is, if you want to take a video, go to that application then press the record , then bring it doen to the water. Same thing when you want to take a photo, press halfway the click button then bring tit down to the water and then press it .

  • My acro s is producing too much heat after 30 min use. Is it usual. Any one having this problem? How can I solve it?

  • Yes.. Acro S has "USB on the go" support u just have to buy a separate cable for that... or u can make ur own USB-OTG cable(try google search for details)

  • I believe the YouTube link below may help you which talk about water resistance of the xperia z (Like - How to shoot a video under water? Can I play music under water?..... etc.) Kindly go to this link :

  • U did tanks, well do u know about heating issues and what's wit d SOD on V

  • the cpu is better in the xv, but acro has a better battery, and i think xv is prettier, other than that theyre the same hope i helped :)

  • " im using this for more tahn amount but i couldnt make a conference call and video call please help............................................­................................................­................ Thanks

  • Nice phone for hand use my feveret

  • mine last for 1.5-2 days... -screen brightness level 6 -screen time 3 to 3 and half hours(games). (10-5% remaining battery and not straight, most of the time it is on standby mode) -do not have any battery saver app and task killer if I reduce it to level 3 I got a 6 hours of screen time 4 hours on web browsing(that's straight and no games). that is already acceptable for me. But the truth is I am disappointed considering it is 1900mah my s2 is better considering it's just 1650mah.. JellyBean can solve it maybe..=) can't wait..

  • well that's good for you if it don't lag at all.. JB it's commmmmmmmmmmmiiiiiiinnnnngggggggg!!!!I hope it is as smooth as hell!!!...

  • Xperia Z of course... If you can afford it :D

  • Mine never lags. I think i'm one of the lucky owners.

  • I've been using acro s for over two months now but this phone's just great. Initially I thought the battery drains pretty quickly but it actually lasts 1.5 days since I started using battery booster app a couple of weeks ago. It's one reliable phone. Nice to read a novel while taking a bath. Wash it thoroughly on regular basis. 4g phone can wait for another year or two.

  • Display and processing is good, but heating problem reduce processing speed so I can't play for more than 30 mins, camera result is v.very bad, before this mobile I was using Arc S and before Arc S I was using Xpress Music 5800 that was equipped with 3.2 mp and that camera is much better than this, I am really disappointed after spending 3x Xpress Music 5800's price and twice the price of Arc S.

  • Bro, check xperia V you'll have the TX's procie, slightly smaller screen,front cam and half internal storage but waterproof, same battery size. If you like it's design

  • guys! this phone is just beautiful! i was previously using Xperia arc s and now i have a masterpiece on my hands. battery life is not bad, a day does the trick for me.. buy it!

  • Hi, I'm thinking about buying a Sony Xperia. The price difference between Xperia acro S and Xperia Z is $400. Is it worth it to get Xperia Z or is there not really much difference? Thanks

  • dead triger, nova 3 and shadow gun run very very smooth on this phone with no lag. as smooth as SilK!!

  • hi friends i buy a new acro s yesterday.i want some advices from yours and i also want how to increase the battery life.thank you

  • okay , thank you for your answers :)i appreciate it much , ill update u maybe next month which i will buy . thanks again !

  • If u need more multitasking fast processor than go for TX and if u looking for average use then go for acro s withe water resistance phone like xperia Z, if u need my words then go for acro s, because its cpu speed is good for average use, no big difference between the speed of tx and acro s.

  • so which do you prefer ? i cant make a final decision because they're both beautiful but they have their own disadvantages and advantages to each other . its really hard to pick one . im from philippines by the way :)

  • I want to buy this phone anyone can help me, i also want to know its water proof quality . How is it , it perfect for water resistant.

  • Tx is better in processor, graphic etc, but in battery backup TX is lesser than acro s slightely, in the cost 2k to 4k difference, and also acro s is water resistance.

  • can you help me guys . which do you prefer , sony xperia acro S or sony xperia TX ? i hope u answer . thanks in advanced . have a great day ! :)

  • Realy?wow! Im my case, i can make calls underwater using this handset.

  • AM using this phone from last 3 month, the phone is getting heat and its getting stuck or hang many time, i recommend users to dont buy this phone and battery backup is worst. dont go for sony xperia acro s.

  • Actually all smartphone gets hot when in use. before you open another application check your phone if there are running applications on your system. because most of the time we tend to forget to close the application properly that makes the phone hot and the battery easily gets drain. when my phone gets hot i always wash with running water just to cool it down. and you know what.... it is effective. try it!!!

  • guys..i got a sony acro s today ..but every time i use it for more than 20 minutes it becomes hot from the back.. is that normal or should i return it??

  • i guess sometimes its not the unit that has the problem.. sometimes its the user.. we tend to overuse phone that we have just to satisfy our needs. and i cannot blame you guys for doing that. but like us they have their limitations that we sometimes forget. there are applications that this phone or not just this phone but any other phone that not compatible with the system that we want to add. that made it risky to the unit. lets just try to use the phone to its very best. know what are the dos and donts of the unit. I'm proud to say that i have this phone since last year but never encounter major problems with the unit. i tested it in pool to take photos and videos and its great!

  • Acro S. I have it and I love it. I'm totally satisfied. But it is important for you to determine which type of requirement you want the phone. The Xperia Acro S gives me exactly what I need.

  • please help me ... i disabled the fm radio by mistake and i cant find any replacement application coz the play store is not available in my country... thanx

  • yes

  • what phone would u guys recommend, motorola razr hd or sony acro s,?? thanx

  • yes it's possible to charge via standard usb.

  • Yes I am now facing the same problem. I have installed around 100 apps. Initially phone was working normally but lately after installing some sitfull apps ram usage increased. I have deinstalled a lot of apps but the problem remains.

  • in acro s have possible to charged via standard USB cable .plz any acro s user answer quickly thank you

  • in acro s have possible to charged via standard USB cable .plz any acro s user answer quickly thank you

  • V is better, but maybe we should wait for the acro S update to appear and then we'll be able to say which is better

  • hi..xperia acros is definitely the smart phone u need.. i buy this last december 2012.. So far it's preforms excellent..the display,touchscreen respond,camera is great u can capturepics & videos on under water. especialy arco s is a water & dust proof.. no need to worry when it's wet or accidentally drop on water. my 1st phone is xperia X10i then xperia arc s..now xperia acro s. SONY is the best. worthy to buy!

  • which one should i get,xperia v or acro s????

  • I never said that the lag will dissapear... I just said that the lag won't be that much...

  • for the love of god, when will sony release the new OS update?

  • Only time will tell!

  • which will be better sony acro s or v ?????????????

  • yeah you still admit it that it still lag. I am right?..minor or major it still lag. even IOS lag or even windows. That's why you need a powerful hardware to minimize lag but actually you can never ever eliminate a lagging effect. There's no such thing in this world. S2 and acro s are par on each other in terms of performance execept for the GPU the s2 mali 400 is slightly more powerful than the acro s adreno 220.

  • iPhone's retina display is the best of course :D. Then come the Samsung dislays, after that acro S and then come the other.

  • You're welcome! :)

  • Do anyone have problems with RAM? My RAM usage is increasing everyday.

  • SONY ACRO S display is fantastic support 1080p camera is excellent speedup sound is very very Good battery is very good, 3 days with normal use web browser excellent IP57 certified - dust and water resistant SONY ACRO S IS THE BEST compare camera or video(even XPERIA Z or XPERIA V) with all sony phones.

  • any scrach occur when you use. which display is good ips,lcd,samsung led, or acro s display

  • Thnks alot, i sure hope i'll get agood device. Cheerz

  • Well, the camera is as good as the S2 (at least my father's was as good as the S2 and the quality is great!). Video recording is sweet, just that the colours are not that vivid as they should be for a 13mp camera, which dissapointed me... The sound quality didn't impress me much (headphones always solves the problem lol). Right at the moment the phone is not with me (sold) so I won't be able to send you pics... More or less it depends on if you're lucky or not and the place you are going to buy it from. You know that if you have any issues (annoying ones) you can always install a custom rom which solves the issues. If you want sth more, just ask :)

  • i have this phone for 3 mounth it has only 1 problem that when you connect it to charger if u use it so much like playing games that spend so much battery it will stop charging that u have to restart your phone.

  • y do you need a flash light?

  • I hve a x acro and every time I switch on data traffic and use the net, the H sign indicating HSDPA/HSUPA goes off after 2-3minutes of use and after a few minutes comes back on...has anyone xperience da same problm or, is there something wrong wit da fon or is it the network? Pls help advice!! Joni...PNG

  • Sure thanks, bt the x z is alot expensive for me right now, i think i'l go for x v, bt before i do, please check me out how the camera and the sound quality is. Let me know..

  • On a S2 you can always convert internal/external storage memory to ram memory really easy. Plus the s2 is made in a almost perfect way, so lags are possible. If there ase some lags, they will will be minor ( small ones and not important at all).

  • No other options? I am also facing the same problem.

  • hi.. is acro s worth buying? im planing to buy this phone today . ... is the front camera works good? pls.help me... thanks ...

  • Extra contents just in case internal memory gets full. Transfer from internal memory to external SD memory using PC via cable or fill the SD Card via PC :)GitzMo?

  • I don't think so that galaxy s II would not lag. Even s3 do lags. Every android phone lags if you have a tons of apps and media files on it. If you object with what I have said, prove it for your self.

  • be patient. We are all waiting. Better to wait than to give it early with a lot of bugs on it. If you can't then flash to a custom ROM and go back to stock ROM upon rolling out of the update.

  • I am facing the following issues with my new Sony Xperia Acro S (LT26w) 1.Network signals disappears for 1 to 2 mins whenever I am disconnecting my call (ie. either made call or recieved call). The network signals resuming back after 2 to 3 mins automatically. I am facing this issues from the day 1 of my phone purchased, irrespective of networks and locations. Since I have tested this issue with other network sim cards and various locations in the City. 2.My phone often hanging once in 2 or 3 days, after hanging I can't switch off my phone or reset. I have to wait till my phone batter become dry, once it is switched off when my batter become fully dry. Then only I can able to restart my phone after getting charged.

  • press and hold the power button and the volume up button at the same time :))

  • hold the +volume button then off button

  • if phone get hangs how to restart... normally we will remove battery if mobile get stucks....but in this mobile how to restart

  • HI, I found n i,ll mark this mobile. design= 8/10 Display= 8/10 Sound= 7/10 battery backup= 6/10 GPS=9/10 call sound= 6/10 OS=7/10 camera=6/10 over all this is a good phone.The camera disapointed me.

  • uninstall McAfee anti virus

  • buy from a seller who gives u a servepro warranty like grand seller its good

  • thanks Oz for answering that. So i guess that explains it. All other things with the phone are fine and do work well.. I highly recomend this phone. Buy it!

  • My friend is having a Sony Xperia Acro S mobile and i don't know why this mobile is heating on normal use

  • Any 1 experiencing blinking problem while seeing pictures or even playing games...even though some games does not require too much graphics performance :S....zis is so annoying even reset and done factory reset....and after 1 week still gets the same problem....and im using basic applications like fbk,skype and whatsapp....ANY IDEA SOM1 PLZ HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!???????????

  • where is the jelly bean update?!!!, too late sony :(

  • Btw, if you can afford a Xperia z - go for it! I'm gonna buy a xperia z if my dad lets me, if he doesn't - I'm gonna buy myself a xperia s :).

  • Well they are both almost the same thing. The x v works a bit smoother than the acro s, but some ppl, not just here, complain that the xv overheats, tho my father's didn't. I played a lot on it and it never overheated. The acro s lags from time to time (mostly minor lag) but i don't think that a problem rly. The battery of the xv is pretty good, I mean that it can last 6 h of heavy usage (gaming) or that's how long it lasted with me. The other things rely on personal opinion. Hope I helped you

  • best mobile i ever used...

  • Has Acro S fully illuminated hardware buttons?

  • Yes, you are the only one asking this. Apps are saved to internal SD card (16 GB) by default. If you add your ext SD card you should use it for pictures and video since the read speed is much higher on internal SD card whereas write speed can be higher on ext SD card (if you use class 10 card like me). Higher read speed is preferable for accessing apps and data. Higher write speed is good for full HD video recording.

  • The Acro S IS one of the best phones i had bud how do we use the SD CARD????? Im sure that im not the only one asking this question// pls reply

  • hOW The hell do we transfer apps or any other content for that matter to the SD CARD?????????? everything saves to the Internal memory by default,,, so what is the SD card slot for then?????? PLS REPLY

  • xperia acro S best phone

  • How long is the battery life of this phone with continuous usage?

  • Plus i want agood water proof phone, btwn the 2, which one?

  • Wel ok, if you av used the x v, would you let me know about the battery cause i see its like the battery is abig problem on x v.

  • dont use the stock camera app. its rubbish. use other camera apss such ass camerazoom or puddingcamera. it focuses much much better

  • Xperia V is one of the best phones of Sony..

  • If you want a phone that won't lag - Galaxy S2. If you want a waterproof phone - acro s. The other are a pain in the a*s

  • Guys.. I've planned to get a new mob with a budget range of 23K.. I've shortlisted Samsung Galaxy S2 Xperia Acro Samsung Grand Micromax Canvas HD Which is the best? Please help guys..

  • Dualsim will be good for those on the move,travellers, people who require rugged phones.

  • for me its better xperia v since it use quite new chipset and have new firmware..IMHO

  • You must have got a refurbished one sold as brand new. I had the same experience with Motorola droid 3 I bought off eBay only because I wanted one with physical keyboard...but all I could find on the market were either refurbished ones or defective ones. Heaps of people gave it thumbs-up, but there were also heaps of people complaining of the same problem. My acro s works brilliant, but having said that, I've always had good experience with Sony/Sony Ericsson phones.

  • Maybe you got a lemon manufactured in Hongkong or China, although mine came from overseas as well and working fine... All phones are like that. Sometimes you just wind up with defective phone. The phone itself is really good. The review gsmarena provided is so accurate. The battery life could've been better, it doesn't have 4g connectivity and it's not quadcore, but it's a balanced performer. I really like this.

  • Ive been using my Acro s(white) since march 4 the day i bought it, its very fine with me i tested its battery,its water resistance,camera and etc.. i already updated its build into (6.1.A.2.55).. for me im contented.. regardless of my life style and work.. I even read my favorite book in its apps.. ;) thumbs up! its worth the price for me..

  • Hary Just by it!

  • who said that the sony xperia acros s has a bad battery endurance? check out my screen shot,

  • Which one is best between xperia v and x acro s in terms of music, camera and battery,??

  • can i buy Sony Xperia acro S just tell me

  • Do it on/off button is soft? coz mine feel like it soft

  • Cant wait for the jelly bean update! I hope sony work out on this asap!

  • you say the battery life is worst and whole acro s is bad its true plz any other help me quick i want to buy this

  • plz give that video link. thanks

  • Camera on this phone is extraordinary. Two things I dont like are no burst mode and autofocus is slow. This phone has a macro mode (you can shoot pictures very close to the object). Now that I have installed 100 apps I hate to upgrade it to JB and do everything again. This OS works fine for me. If I play games normally, little web surfing, taking some pics and HD videos and several messages then battery lasts for two days. The trick is in battery saving mode.

  • how to open the phone and battary life position.

  • You know what? You are right! The bugs when receiving a call are nasty!! And the other things mentioned are also correct. Nevertheless, somehow I love it..

  • iPhone 5 is not a piece of crap.. If you cannot afford it - don't talk.. -.-

  • My phone was never hanged, and for the battery performance according to your uses it will last more than a day or at-list a day.

  • Try press and hold Power + Volume up together for about 3 secs

  • Battery can be changed. There is a video on the net where some Russians took apart the whole phone. There you have instructions on how to change battery.

  • Hi, I planing to bey Sony Xperia acro S. But I worried about a battery. I say to probability, if require to change battery, then I what to do? Have any option to change the Sony Xperia acro S battry??? plz reply me...

  • Thanx a lot for ur advice.pls can u tell about the overall performance of the handset. Many are complaining about the battery life and hanging .normally I use about 30 min of calling, and internet , few snaps ,approximately 1 hr of video play or games.thanks in advance.

  • you don't need to do that, there is a way to boot when there is a trouble with this phone, hold power button and the up volume at the same time then it will be boot for you...but since i use this phone, there is no trouble at all so far

  • The phone at the side consists of a slot and we should insert the sim card from that particular slot. Also for the memory card we have another slot and we cannot take the battery and there is no need for us to remove the battery either for inserting sim or memory card.

  • cool thanx

  • I am using this phone more than a month and it was grate, I also bought it from ebay, but for the service from sony service center I can not tell about that, but before it I have used Xperia Neo also not lunched in India but the service center gave me the good service.

  • take a look at the design. they are pretty much the same regarding specs. the differences are: acro s does have a dedicated camera buton, which I appreciate, the xperia V has 13 MP camera, but after checking some tests on youtube, I saw that the sound of the video on V is lower. I have the Acro S. I like it. I got it because of the camera button, I need it. Also, the V has a removable battery, te acro S doesn't.

  • After updating my acro s in build number .55. I noticed that i cant open my instagram, go chat and skype using data connection. But before update in .55 i run those staff smoothly. What seems to be the problem? Please help

  • I bought acro s 2 weeks ago. I have to admit the battery life Ira rather short, but at least it lasts a day unless you spend too much time browsing web or playing games. No lags, no sudden restarts, you could complain about the size, weight, no 4G coverage, etc. but the best thing about this phone is there's nothing major that annoys you. Overall performance is excellent. The call reception is good. I can recommend this phone to anyone.

  • just got mai Xperia acro s some few day back but notice poor battery backup nd also a below par camera shots(2 much noise nd poor color)... maybe am gettin d camera settings wrong...pls need help.

  • actuallly there is no big difference in the FW updates. But on .55 you will notice a battery drain improvement. It's up to you, but there is nothing to fear. you can root your phone also and reduce the cpu clockrate for a longer battery life..

  • Not the jellybean update but the .55 version.

  • I see..I guess you are using a battery saving app..check your battery saving app settings..If you are using a battery saver app what is it?..

  • most of them says the battery backup is very poor its really true or else.

  • Where is flashlight torch app ? Where to get one-touch-torch-widget as on Xperia Go 4.0.4 ?

  • Fogging/moisture behind the camera glass is likely caused by the difference between the phone's internal temperature (warm) and the temperature of the water it's immersed in (cold). Others have suggested this and it makes sense to me. Think of how moisture will form on the outside of a glass of cool drink on a warm day. This wouldn't be a failing of the ingress protection (IP). As for wether or not this poses a threat to the inner workings of the device, potentially it could. Moisture has potential to cause a short circuit which is never a good thing. Sony might have designed the acro S to prevent damage from internal moisture but without knowing that my advice is to avoid rapid changes in temperature whenever possible.

  • I check for an upgrade of software on sony's page and its indicate that .58 is tha latest version. On my notification is .55 What can u say about .55 is it smooth? I recieve ready for download but im a bit afraid of it. Please help

  • Acro S is nice , How about Jelly Bean ????? Sony take So Much time for news version :( It's really bad :(

  • The picture that appears on video call is upside down, can someone. Help me out

  • Water gets in if you don't close and seal off the protective cover flips, of the audio, microHDMI and microUSB jacks. If you get this done, you can relax about water geting in and damaging your phone. I own an Acro S, and I have no problems every time I enter with it in water. Excellent phone!

  • Thank you for contacting the Sony Xperia support centre. We are sorry to hear that your are facing problems with your phones. Kindly be informed that Xperia Acro S is not a water proof phone. It's water resistant. It cannot be put in water, only wet finger tracking and any liquid enters the phone, will void the warranty and will be considered as misuse. Kindly check the Xperia Acro S user guide.

  • Jelly Bean update will be rolling out this april I guess..Here's a easy step how to root up to .55 build number. You must be at .45 build version or .50 to root .55, Because you can not root .55 directly. 1)download the binary root method(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthrea­d.php?t=1886460) 2)root your phone(http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=playe­r_embedded&v=7EpkrCq1gfM) 3)update your phone to .55 via OTA. Tip battery life if much much better on .55 using the stock sony launcher.

  • Thanks James, ill wait for the official jellybean update then back up my stuff and root it. wont install the custom rom coz i might brick/mess up my phone Sony said they'll release the official update this quarter/month right? hope Sony's jellybean update will maximize the phones performance and resolve the issues from ICS by the way Just wanna share my thoughts about this phone, I really love It, I even tortured it a bit to check its built quality and its very durable. don�t mind if the chip is dual core s3, built is kinda bulky or the specs are way far from the latest Sony phones. (Z, TX, V etc) as long as it does its job and entertains me if im kinda bored its fine with me

  • This IS really a good Phone. Just Bought It 5 days ago and it went well. The battery life was average but you can see its display was very good and the camera was excellent. Gaming was re defined probably due to its dual core processor. I can brag to my friends That I can watch videos while on the shower ^_^

  • It is better to wait for the official jellybean,..Don't install custom roms on your phone since most of the CFW available for acro s are buggy..Unlocking the BL will also void your warranty, Relocking it to regain warranty will not return the lost DRM keys. It's not a very good idea to install a unstable rom, specially when you do not know what you are doing you can brick your device. If you want to use a cool ui there are a lot of launchers in the market. Acro s is not a very popular device that's why I am encouraging people here to vote for acro s. The more popular it is the more developers/hobbyist will support it, that implies, more Custom rom,more chances of bugless rom and a great rom. I suggest that you start by rooting and don't proceed on unlocking the BL. Just wait for the official jelly bean. Actually you don't actually need a custom rom what is important is that you are rooted.

  • This device is superb. IP57 certified - dust and water resistant. Water proof up to 1 meter within 30 minutes, scratch resistant shatter proof glass. A-GPS and GLONASS supported. 12.1 Megapixel camera, Sony BRAVIA Mobile Engine and 1910 mAH battery. 1.5 Ghz dual core processor, thats quiet good.. Best value for money...

  • SONY ACRO S display is fantastic support 1080p camera is excellent speedup sound is very very Good battery is very good, 3 days with normal use web browser excellent IP57 certified - dust and water resistant SONY ACRO S IS THE BEST compare camera or video(even XPERIA Z or XPERIA V) with all sony phones.

  • Correction. Acro s does not have the DRAGONTRAIL glass. It has some mineral scratch resistant glass. So, its probably back to changing the glass protection sheets.

  • You have to charge it with its charger and the dock for the shortest charge time. If you charge it via usb then it takes forever and back.

  • all users of XPERIA ACRO S plz inform me how long does it take to fully charge the ACRO S from 05-10% battery. Mine is taking a long time to complete (in my opinion). So plz plz inform me your timings. plz. Thanx.

  • Just ordered my xperia acro s, waiting for the delivery...

  • The shatter proof sheet can be scratched so easily. But when you remove that sheet you get a scratch resistant glass (dragon tail me thinks). That glass is like gorilla glass. Uf what a relief!

  • i bought a pink sony acro s.. Superb!!! I go for this phone rather than buying iphone5.

  • xperia p or xperia acro s? which one shud i go for if i dont consider waterproof as key point?

  • planning to buy this one. how long does it take to charge the battery from 0% to 100%??? whats the main difference between li-ion and li-poly battery?

  • The phone's performance is a bit buggy. I've had mine for almost 6 months, and am not pleased with the performance. The camera quality is alright, and somewhat similiar to my previous HTC Incredible S's 8 MP camera. Using the 12 MP option on the Sony is not always a good idea because the picture size is not wide-screen and doesn't eveen cover the phone's screen. The quick launch option is a mixed bag and works once every 2 or 3 tries. It IS waterproof and I tried it and it was good. But the phone freezes every now and then at times when I urgently need to execute a certain task like make a call. Not sure if this is a common thing across android phones, but I expect a bit more reliability out of a phone with this price tag.

  • Wow..great bro..it worked now :), enjoying Sony's best features :)..Sony rocks, back to its former glory with Xperia phones :) Thank you very much Bro.

  • Please Leave a vote don't just comment. Anyone here from philippines who knows where to buy a scratch proof and shatter proof screen guard for this handset?..The pre- installed anti shatter screen guard is already scratched. Also I can't find a good case for this device it so hard to find one. Any suggestion?

  • Xperia acro s is better than xperia s and i think should have a higher rating than the latter. Xperia acro s is sold 22990 in philippine market. Which is said to be above midrange phone.

  • Did you try to restart the phone by pressing and holding power button and volume up button together? Please try and check

  • i am using sony xperia acro s it is great

  • Finally we can root .55 easily...if you have .45 just root it using binary method and update via ota.. .45>root>ota .50>ota .55 as simple as that.. I got mine rooted at .55..

  • the sony acro s is technically a lower version of the much anticipated xperia z, which is also a water and dust proof smartphone. this phone could beat(if not) go head on with the iphone 4s. screen size, processor, and style, camera, speakers...this phone has it all.

  • Sorry to say that if you are planning on buying an xperia in Australia, I would think twice if you wanted Sony Ericson Service along with that. My new AcroS died literally, 3 weeks after buying it and had to send it to a contracted service agent "Fonebiz". No one in my state answered my calls so had to call Sydney. Told to send it down. Did that non 4th Feb 2013. after two weeks with my new phone I was told it would be in my post box in two days. Did not arrive so again I called Fonebiz in Sydney. Now im told the phone needed a part that is currently not available and 150 other customers are awaiting the same part for various models. So its off to sony Customer service Australia, who are in New Zealand and was told to fill in a complaint form that they eventually emailed to me the next day. Now today I spoke to the customer service boss called Sam ( also a contractor) who has given me nothing but belligerent remarks about how things take time and all companies use contractors & Quote"If your new car broke down you wouldnt expect it to be fixed any quicker. (Maybe thats the case in NZ) but not in Australia. They have had my new phone for 3 weeks. And they are useing "Contractors to hide there own lack of regard for the customer" Anyone want to buy a 1 mth old Acro S Cause I am Over Sony Ericson.

  • It all depends on your usage. My usage makes the backup time last up to 2 days easily before recharging, and this, i never let the charge get down to below 40%... so now imagine if i let it drain to say 5% I should easily get another day to that.

  • Both USB and desk charging. In fact, the desk charging is only a shortcut to the usb charging so as not to open the usb flap each time. The same charger output is plugged to the desk charger.

  • I have a acro s. 6 day's before I it. How can I update jeally bean and from where. . Can u help me about this....
