Sony Xperia P - User Reviews

  • Connect your phone to a MS-Winows (preferably windows 7) computer using a USB cable. It will install on your computer coz its in the phone. If not, download it and use it to update your phone to Jelly bean or Android 4.1 You will be fine.

  • Hi, I bought a second hand Sony Xperia P couple of months ago here in New Zealand, I insert Spark New Zealand sim and it works. Other sim is not working, so I think it's Spark sim locked. I want to unlocked this so I went to Spark store to request for unlocked code but when they enter IMEI, they said it's not belong to them, then said maybe Spark on other country. I don't know how to trace which country this from. I never had a contact of the person I bought from. Can anybody help me please how to unlocked this? This is a good phone even it's old. All I want is to unlocked and use it with other sim. Thanks.

  • Get it! It is great. Old, but with on board functions great :) Dont' have to get every update if it works.

  • Not possible I reckon, this phone is way too old the hardware is seriously outdated you won't be able to run newer OS I think

  • me too

  • Superb I need that mobile

  • I bought a brandnew xperia p lt22i on October 18th 2017 i.e. Last year it comes with Android 2.3 ginger bread but the software is so outdated that it did not support many apps from the Play store, so Please can anyone give me a sugession on how to upgrade to atleast Android version 4 or above, i will be very Grateful.

  • i already use it 😁

  • Best Sony camera midrange phone.

  • if rom dont support english, you need flash stock rom(Generic World) by flash tools (also you can use Sony PC Companion)

  • He served me well for 4 and half years. However in the last year he decline, maybe a factory reset could saved him goodbye old friend

  • i've been using this phone since feb 2013. it has a superb performance for a 4 yr old phone. i gues sony really make a diamond for a phone that last this long. changed the battery 3 times though. heres youtube link for the battery replacement tuturial. buy the battery @ lelong. and change the bettery your self since no repair shop willing to change the battery for you. they'll ask you to buy new phone instead.

  • need help..I had just factory reset my phone....and the setting turns to chinese...can some one help me to return it to english please

  • i have this phone. i must change imei, can someone help me?

  • Sony always my first choice.Used 5 years already everything still alright.I still remember 1 months ago my lt22i had felt into the water and automatic black screen,I become panic and think it can't used already but luckily and thanks godness after the water bubbles inside phone screen had dried 99.8%,my phone normally can be used.

  • yes , poor battery not available in Sony show rooms

  • Still using this phone. Built quality is insane. Love Sony no words

  • poor battery

  • Using it for almost 5 years...have to change...phone fell down and the screen broke... Hats off to sony for this.

  • Poor battery backup..

  • Yes, my one almost 5 years now, love it. Amazing Sony technology.

  • Still using this phone. Built quality is insane. Love Sony

  • mine just had to be replaced because the battery drops, but what a four year man sony quality is amazing!!!

  • Use this phone since 6 years ago untll now. What a phone!!

  • what i can buy a sony power ic number?

  • That's an issue with Sony's Android version. Install a custom rom and it should work fine again. ;)

  • Where will I get the battery of xperia P? Service centre says they have stopped manufacturing its components. The ones availiable in online markets are not original i guess..Are they safe to use?

  • Why my xperia p is always automatically shut down?? Even I already changed my battery?? How to fix that?

  • this mobile is great .. am used this mobile realy this is .. best ..

  • hahaha those days. after using it for 4 years, 1 hour music and it's gone to sleep. But if I stop running apps which are not system apps, consumes 2-5% in 7-8 hours when I am at uni.

  • Okay. How to reset the Xperia P. Hm. You go yo the Phone then dial this. *#*#7378423#*#* then click Customization Settings thats it.

  • How to hard reset Sony Xperia Lt22i When I press Power+Volume up it is not working and Power+Volume Down Turns off phone....help required

  • Same here. But screen giving some problem now. Displays goes off anytime and turns back on again itself.

  • how we know that the batter is damaged ?? does any one know about this ?????

  • Press power button and volume up button for a few secs.

  • I am using this phone for like 3.5 years. It has good build quality and good hardware. Its screen can be very bright, even one of the brightest. Design is good. Aliminium case protects it from most damage (I really dropped it like 50 times and it only has little scratches on screen and pushed back a lil, no breakdown or whatsoever) and it has break resistance screen filter. But its software is weak and buggy, also its battery life is "very bad". still I do have some love for it. It can even open Hearthstone (but laggy and generally closes itself after a match cause of ram usage) If you don't use it heavily, plus dont install complicated apps (use just whatsapp, facebook, twitter etc.) battery lives more. Also if you rooted it, you can use greenify to hard close unused apps.

  • if i put sim card in the phone then my phone just go off, i don't why.

  • one of the best smartphones i had still working till now i have it in my hand and won't change cuz i can't find its min. secs or more with such a screen of 4.0" or abovew

  • i have also a a phone that can"t live more than 1 hour

  • Very good phone, I've had it since Sept 2012. Still use it every day, battery lasts more than 48 hours but I'm not a power user, hardly any apps loaded, just call, text and occasional FB. Main camera still takes very good pictures. When storage was full of photos/video 10GB+ it started to lag but I downloaded the photos and did a full factory reset, works good again. Plastic on the bottom is all scratched but a cover took care of that. Hope to get another good year out of it before I think of something new. Also bought a Xperia L for my wife in 2013 and that phone was a complete disaster, constantly locked up on startup/loading, poor camera, battery etc... sometimes you win sometimes you lose.

  • the bestest comment i have ever read

  • @Everyone who criticizes Xperia P: At the tym when this phone was launched it had the best configurations which fits in that budget it has issues like heating,battery drain,laggy,but apart frm that its a great phone the build quality of sony is far too good in this mob I started using.this.mobile from july 2012 and still now it's working grt phone which lasts for long

  • How more than 5 years as it is launch on feb 2012....????????????:O

  • Hard reset sony xperia p

  • a great phone, I love it. it has been great for the past 3 years. it looks really nice en works great. most days it will survive on the battery, after 3 years it emtys in around 12 hours without extensive use. I personaly never used the HDMI. and the camara is slow, I often mis the moment.

  • because some ahole stole my galaxy s3 lte. now im stuck with this phone.

  • The phone was launched almost 4 years ago, how come you've been using it for 5 years!!!

  • Using from LAst 3 Years. what a Strong Creation by Sony

  • i used this phone for more than 5 years now. battery is still ok unless you don't install apps that are very consuming.

  • It's been 4 years.... And still strong...ofcourse battery is a bit compromising... Still I love this phone....

  • battery life is ridiculous -have to charge every hour literally

  • I've been using this phone since June 2012 and only until recently the battery started to drain very quickly but I think it's acceptable as it 3 and a half years old, they quality of the front camera is of course bad compared to the phones in the market nowadays, and the internal memory is also quite small and comes without a microSD slot but overall it's still a good phone since it was just a midrange phone to begin with, plus it's almost 4 year-old model.

  • who the fock cares it's a 4 y/o phone

  • I'm writing this review on January 2016 because I had to revert back to this 2012 cell phone after my main one broke. Most noticeable in this device is the low battery life, it's really absurd. GPS is a joke. I am forced to use an external BT GPS device for navigation to work. Combination of the hardware and OS version makes it extremely laggy. Calls get disconnected from time to time. Pros: touch responsiveness is... decent (?). It's... small... and it's a Sony!

  • battry vvv poor + front cam v low qualty + almost hangs every day regular. external memory card slot not available. over all beutyfull cell but performance is vvvvv.bad

  • I have been using this phone for 2 years. Terrible battery life and the Jelly Bean update is laggy and very unresponsive while receiving call. It gets stuck for about 20 seconds while swiping the answer button. The performance is not that satisfactory.

  • battery too poor :(

  • Battery drain fast ICS update pls have some update.that has power saving mode tnx

  • connection ports: Micro USB Type-A, Micro HDMI Type D, 3.5mm headphones output, Micro-SIM hardware buttons: Power On/Off, Volume Up, Volume Downd, Camera snap button sensor buttons: Back, Home, Options

  • yes only battery problem .

  • Please can anyone give me the phones all ports/connection /external buttons and ports function details?

  • I has been using this phone for more than 3 years , it still function in pretty good condition except battery drain fast and it crashed once in a while. Mine is a pink one.

  • HDMI port is for connecting Xperia P to TV via HDMI cable.

  • i'm still using xperia p, its been 4 years . still functions the same as new one . only the battery life is reduced a little but on the whole . its a awesome phone

  • A gud phone that withstands for long period of over 4 years...except the battery life all other specifications are good.

  • What's the work about "HDMI port " ??, please anyone explain this ...

  • yes you can change

  • 3 years of using once only change battery. love this phone + the hdmi mini slot.

  • dose it support OTZ?

  • I've been using this phone for almost three years now, and it is the toughest phone I've ever used. Also runs very nice, minor crashes now, but it is three years old, very good for an Android...

  • Bought this phone for 170 USD at amazon.com and got it shipped to UK 4 months back. Battery is terrible. Drains very fast. Now it is also crashing. After startup, it just goes black / dead immediately. Anyone, has had any luck with the Battery Issue ? Can the battery be changed ? Will the battery drain issue go away if we upgrade / change to Jellybean ?

  • i had used this one for 2 years..had smashed it many times..it was still working..bt at last the 7th hardest smash killed it permanently .. looking froward to buy a new phone..it is one of the toughest ..

  • 1) Yes, it has google play because OS is Android 2) Metallic, aluminium

  • Just two questions. 1. Does it support google play and services? 2. What is body case made of? Metal or plastic

  • My son gave me his Sony Xperia P handphone..everthing is o.k but I can't put picture comment on fb...can u help me.please.thanks

  • Have been using Sony Xperia P for almost 3 years. Major disappointment is the Battery. I guess calling this a 3G mobile is only a marketing gimmick. The device hardly survives for 3-4 hrs if its connected to a 3G network even if you do not use it to make calls..... Everything else seems good enough in the device. No external memory slot is a big let down esp with only 16GB internal memory........ It doesnt playback HD videos smoothly... Last few months software and UI response is very poor.....Lags a lot....Might be time to reset the device to factory settings.....

  • can xperia P2 release true soon with new large screen size and big camera 12.1mp?

  • I guess Sony forgot to give news version for Xperia p

  • what update

  • what update?

  • Got a New update in Nigeria...

  • using sony xperia p for more than 2 years, i say it has a very good hardware except. for the battery. that really drains off very quickly while using mobile data,,, had problems such as call lag.. notifications problems...

  • I am using this phone since january 2013 (so 2 years 3 months) Its' hardware was perfect for its price, but came with some software troubles, for example, laggy phone calls, stock gallery app probs etc. If you are ok with it i can still say this phone is good one. but only real weakness of it is its battery capacity is so weak. you should use those battery save modes definitely to get better experience from it. other than that, it looks good, design is fine, hardware is strong for price as i already mentioned and it is resistant to damage i can clearly confirm. also its' screen brightness is one of best in the market with that white touch feature.

  • Sony Xperia is a great mobile,but it has no 3g video call why.Please tell me.

  • Battery stamina mode turn off

  • I am using Sony xprea p from 2 years but I have no any problem.its really great:-)

Please guide me

  • hellow my xperia p can run all of the hd games(if love hd games buy it) and its android version can upgrade to 4.3.3...but its battery is a poblem only

  • I've been using this phone (xperia p) since 2012 doesn't have any issues up to now. Except for the battery that easilly gets drain. But the performnce is great.

  • had this phone for a few years, it's expensive for what it does & when it dies you cannot remove the memory card. poor battery

  • I have been using this phone more than 2 years..the problem i am facing right now is just its battery problem..maybe because its time has come..but overall, its an awesome phone during its time..

  • thats a brilliant fphone to have.Maybe some of you are reckless and do not have proper handling of gadgets.

  • This model is not good. I have used this phone over 2 years and it was creating trouble since one year from now. For a one year usage this cost is very high. Also better was not good not at all. It was waste of my money.

  • well, i have the gadget and its brand new, havent found any faults in it yet, only that it over heats when you charge it a times... otherwise its perfectly good, but it doesnt have a formal kitkat update..YET

  • I had the same problem. I have reinstalled Android by cable and everythink is OK (my battery also is not in good condition, but it is another problem).

  • hi am having a problem wth my experia... am not able to take off the battery .... WHY I WANT SO... becausse my phone keep on switching off while i am switching it on.... can someone help me to sort this stuff out .. cause i really need my phone for work purposes..... thnaking you in advance

  • Best

  • Got one here upgraded to 4.1.2 Works fine

  • Got one here upgraded to Android 4.1.2 Works great

  • I want to buy sony xperia P but i do not know that after buying will upgrade from android v2.2 to 4.3

  • One of the best phone from 2012 to 2015 phone working awesome....love u phone..... I am constant throwing of phone freaker,still it's working awesome....,

  • Did you ever flashed it? try it

  • I 've been using this phone for two and a half years. I only flashed it once to remove carrier bullshit and then it worked fine until now. It has excellent camera, excellent screen and good performance packed in a stellar design. It works fine if you take care on the number of opened apps, 400mb of free memory are needed for proper performance, so when the phone gets laggy some task killing is needed. On the other hand battery is not stellar. An external battery would be a perfect extra. Apart from this battery issue it is an excellent phone.

  • my baby dropped it in water and its still perfect without any technical problem. its the best phone for me.

  • This phone served me well for three years, it's survived four attacks by my violent sister, a direct blow with a chair, almost 100+ drops and it still serves me faithfully to today. I love it. It's the Nokia of Sony until the Z3 came out. Although scratch-resistant glass, it started to show scratches after 2 years. But screw years, it's past its warranty and beyond. Probably the only major bugbear is the storage.

  • Same wth me.the worst hp i ever had.

  • how i can best performance my hand set battery.......

  • custom cyanogenmod roms till kitkat v4.4.4 available the phone slows down a lot though

  • I have been using this phone for years. Can't even attend the calls. Phone keeps vibrating.There is a problem with the album so u need to clear data in app settings of album. Takes a long time to call. Battery drains out so fast. Please don't buy this phone at all..

  • i have my phone about 2 months. at first everything is normal and all of the suddenly all my phone book in the contacts were disappear and i tried to create a new list as normal and it never have saving anymore . i did come to store. call my mobile center and sony technical support they still cant solve my probblem. anyone know how to fix it ???? thank

  • just buy a powerbank.. and u will never run out of juice.. :) I have one..

  • Hi,thanks for this,I was having trouble finding my pictures and this comment really help me out.. thanks :)

  • make your product removable battery.

  • wow.this is best in its classyfiying.sure you choose it

  • m using Xperia p from last 2 year. m purchase it on 13 January 2013. still m using it, it is the phone. everything is best in it. and bettary backup is much better than Xperia l, sp, and c. I love my phone

  • I still remember when i bought this phone out of choices of, Nokia E7, Samsung SII, Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc and Apple iPhone 4s who got my attention. I had been using a Nokia C6, E75, Nokia 5800, 5310 etc earlier. This phone was cheaper than the other options I had. I didn't even know Sony makes phone in its name. Received my Sony Xperia Z2 a couple of hours earlier. Was doing a factory reset on Xperia P and thought this phone deserves a good farewell. Will still keep it. :) My first phone was Sony CMD Z7 back in 2003. Then shifted to Nokia and believed I would never shift again. As for most of the people, shift from Nokia wasn't easy. Samsung, LG, Moto etc seemed either too flashy with strange lights, grills, design or not so subtle UI. Iphone always seemed too pricey for what its worth. So Nokia it was all the way. Accordingly, I was totally getting a E7 which got delayed because of stock shortage. However, saw it and drooled over it. Verge's gallery photos of Xperia P sold me out. I held it and it was such an amazing phone to hold, totally neck to neck with any Nokia or Apple iPhone 4s. This phone made the shift so easier and the purchase of 325$ was totally worth every cent. I have dropped it a lot many times during 2.5 years of usage. Even while travelling on a bike, on concrete, wood, water puddle, etc.. Still solid. It will be tough to move to any other brand for a while I believe. This phone served a good two and a half years. Thank you Sony, A satisfied customer. Pros: Great build quality The most appealing design on a phone of its time Reliability and durability Good sharp screen Phone kept getting better through updates from Sony till 4.1 Served two and a half years easily. Rich multimedia features for a mid-range phone Camera (for a mid-range device of its time) Physical camera button Easy managing of media through Sony PC Companion Cons: Battery should have been at least 1.5x more Loudspeaker isn't very clear. Should have had better front cam resolution Phone application stutters when you have low free space. No MicroSD slot

  • The cell is mostly perfect. But the Battery performance is too low. I use 3G connections and the Battery finishes like anything within some Minutes.Their Should be the Full charged specified.If the Battery gets 100 % and we use it For 5 min, the Battery drains till 85%. And also the Front camera ,it Must be a 2MP (would be Most Useful)so that the Customers can buy this products. thanks.

  • hi brother .... I take strong exception to your quoting , just because you're not satisfied with your phone, don't try to distract others . I am also the owner of xperia P for the past 2 years but i don't have any problems so far. You don't have to be so sad for the xperia owners but at the same time you have all the rights to feel sad and sorry about yourself as you're not content with the performance of your mobile.... thanks

  • I use Xperia P for 1.5 years. Aluminium uni-body is just great and screen (with whitemagic) is awesome. But it doesnt support SD card (has 13gb storage tho) and very poor battery. I charge it 2 times a day. I tried CM11, PA and slimkat. they are fast but have some bugs, also no stamina mode and radio. Thus my advice is just stick with original JB (4.1.2) and use some 3rd party apps. I use Zero launcher, fleksy keybord, contacts+ etc. NO LAG on main screen, keybord, messaging and calls. Also root your phone and install GO backup and greenify. I freeze all unnecessary sony&google apps, my phone has 400mb free RAM atm. I also recommend Power Toggles, myMail and SD maid.

  • I have same mobile xperia p .... why my mobbing alys got hang an my display automatically change in blace ,,,,when this phone wll b hang I need to take out sim frm mobile plz why mobile have got lots of problem ,,,plz give me answer @ my mail id [email protected]

  • Same with me..

  • I've had my Xperia P for over 2 years now and it has been great!! The battery is dying a lot quicker now though. Now I'm getting an Xperia M2 hope it is reliable as the P!

  • atractive graphics ........but i am sorry to share that poor battery backup and also poor performance change me a java user

  • Good, durable body. Beautiful design. Visible grain in low light, but good colour rendition. Very good display. Very sensitive screen. The screen glass is relatively tough though I recommend a protective foil. Very poor battery. Have to charge it every night, or oftener if my kids play it. After 1,5 years it is still OK. DOesn't hang, smooth screen scrolling.

  • how to install cm 11 in xperia p pls help......JB is so slow

  • No, a jelly bean software update is still available for this phone.

  • From my experience:use ICS to make your xperia p super smooth.I have tried GB as well as JB but JB is very slow and GB is out dated.No call log hanging problem in ICS. AUTO ROTATION PROBLEM: I also solved it by opening the phone and then tapping the gyro sensor IC a bit. After that auto rotate started working and no problem uptill now. I am now enjoying using xperia p.

  • Hi Guys i am on the the xperia P users, I have been using this phone since last two years. Prominently the worst experience ever in my life check the list of the problems that i have faced using this phone: 1) The battery needs to be charged at least twice a day 2) When you answer the phone it takes about 10 secs for to connect whilst the other person on the line is enjoying your ringtone ridiculous 3) I have encountered a new problem now-a-days my phone wont switch on even if it is being charged for more than a day and. 4) it is so slow that you will be forced to uninstall the apps that you like the most there are alot of problems in this phone I feel so sad for myself and for all the xperia P users

  • same here. :/

  • Battery life sucks!!!

  • very slow.... :(

  • Of course, you will need to wipe data,cache after you install cm11,but you can backup your apps+data using titanium backup and restore them at any point. cm11 is great but not free without bugs.

  • of course, you need to wipe data,cache after the install cm11, but anyway you can backup all your apps+data using titanium backup. and you cab restore them at any time, but there are bugs,like I can't use MX player anymore.

  • Sony should launch high end version of this phone (Xperia P2). Combine WhiteMagic Screen Technology and design of this phone with Power of Z2.

  • I have it for almost a year and it's been my worst experience. I have loaded the most common apps (skype, viber, etc) but it is extremely slow. I cannot even receive calls. It rings, I slide my finger to answer but it still rings for 10-20 seconds. The other party listens my phone vibrating but I hear nothing. After 10-20 seconds I can speak. It is ridiculous. On the other hand, the battery is a real joke. It doesn't last even for a single day. Another amazing thing, its gps. It needs almost a minute to lock and its average error is around 20-30 meters. In other words it doesn't have a clue which quarter I am on. Bottom line, if you need a feature phone buy a real feature phone (it will be fast, easy to use and its battery will last for enough days). If you need a smartphone buy a real smartphone which can run your apps properly and its battery can last at least one day. It can server you as a phone too.

  • I just wanted to ask you that if I did install the rom CM11, would i have to install each and every app that I have, once again?

  • A piece of advice to everyone using this phone. Throw away the sony stock rom and install a custom rom. You will feel the difference once you use a custom rom. I'm currently using CM11 rom and its AWESOME. It is a lot smoother than the original stock rom.

  • I am enjoy my xperia very much much much,but I am facing the problem of chargng it everytime. And sometime even not using it but finding the charge drop down.. Wht should I do to resolve ths becouse it is boring

  • I am facing the problem of charge, it is running down so fast,what should I do, advice please

  • I am enjoy my xperia very much much much,but I am facing the problem of chargng it everytime. And sometime even not using it but finding the charge drop down.. Wht should I do to resolve ths becouse it is boring

  • I tried to do that, in the Network, there is no 3G in the preferred network mode. Only WCMDA Only , GSM Only, WCMDA (Preferred)/GSM. and the third one already choose, i choose the other two, still same issue. I called Sony this morning they advised me the delete the APN settings, then add it again through the network provider, if it didn't work call them again, will call them again tomorrow because i did that all, still same issue !

  • Switch it to 3g;-)

  • Hi Guys, I do face a very weird problem these days with my Xperia P. I had this phone long time ago, but in USA i had it with Metro PCS provider 4 months ago,it's already unlocked phone, it was working perfectly,all the functions,internet and phone,everything. recently it starting to have internet problems. Works fine when it's WI-FI, internet browsing,facebook,messengers and e-mails, everything perfect. When i use the normal Metro PCS network ,the internet goes like BLOCK, it shows the E network appears normally in the right top corner beside the signal, but for some reason when i try to search in the website, no network,when i try to play online radio,no network,when i try to load facebook, network error, and so,but at the same time, i receive facebook notifications normally, and receive e-mails normally,even ppl can call me and text me through messenger as i appear online to them. but i can't send anything or use the internet to do anything, it's sounds weird, and it's really crazy. I reset the phone to factory settings ,deleted everything from it, and it didn't work,then one day it works perfect,for only one day, & then came back not working. I have 2 friends, one of them has Xperia E and the other one has Samsung Galaxy S4, happened the exact issue with them, and both of them two different phone providers, they even in different countries. I really don't know what the hell is going on,the Metro PCS support said it's a phone issue. do you guys think it's an UPDATING issue or something? Please advice. Thank you

  • I have used this phone battery life is roo bad but its feature is to good

  • I have been using the phone for near 2 years, all the features of this phone is superb,except the battery life 1305 mah, too bad, when I took this phone I did not know about this mah.. Hardly runs for 5 hours with the data on,games,music and messengers!and now a days my phone keeps rebooting on its own.time to say good bye to Xperia p!

  • There is no back cover on Xperia P. It has unibody designed case which is opened by unscrewing two screws on the bottom of left and right sides.

  • There is no higher capacity battery available for Xperia P.

  • it is really true

  • Can I use more powerful battery in my Xperia p!! Pls reply

  • The only dark side of this phone is its battery life especially when you're using WiFi or mobile data otherwise it's a good phone!

  • Well, in my opinion this phone isn't that bad either. But it is true that it has some undeniable problems. I've been using this phone for one and a half year. The problems i've faced are like slow rotation,touch is not worthy, often crashes, it cannot run so many apps, so many games r slow,it lacks sound quality too... I dont know why my screen orientation doesn't work properly...is there any solution to this...

  • I think with some of the other phones out there, this is a no-go. Definitely. After a mere 6 months, the battery drains faster than anything I've seen. It struggles to make it through 6-8 hours , with mobile data turned off, and if anyone plans to use it with the data turned off, might as well buy a Nokia 1100. Apps are slow, often they crash. The only standout feature is the display, which you cannot enjoy since you need to conserve battery life. Stay away from this model.

  • pls.reply how to open experia back cover

  • Yeah probably thé best midrange phone ever!

  • Ilove Xperia its a Very good smart phone...but Their is a big problim!!! That not able to Extra Memory Card :/ Its an Important For eny phone and for every User .. Its the Important problim on Xperia :| FiX it plz cuz I love Xperia :/

  • Yup, press Volume Up and Power On buttons and hold it until feel one vibration. If that doesn't help (wait a minute, and try to turn on Xperia by pressing Power On for 2-3 sec.) repeat same procedure (press Volume Up and Power On) and hold until you feel three vibrations. That would do the trick.

  • you need to press and hold down the on/off and volume up buttons simultaneously for a few seconds

  • if the phone is not turning on is there a way like we press two buttons to reset it or something??

  • After nearly 1 and a half years using xperia p, yeap, the battery do drains fast, but the performance is good, worth the money, ofcourse not for now, but still it is a good phone. Even though it has some minor problems like crash, or jam, sometimes, but which phone dont have the problems after years? Especially a phone with a price like this? conclusion = GOOD PHONE FOR 2012-2013

  • I'm using xperia p but, I have not satisfy your developers because, your mobile battery is so weak I can't use long time I can use only 45 minutes. I'm trying to change a new battery but I can't find this battery. Can u make this battery.

  • dont upgrade your android os, if you dont want had any problem with your xperia p its really bad idea to upgrade your android os from gb to jb

  • hello, I am also facing the same issue , do you have any info means pls let me know thanks.

  • My experience with Xperia P has been very disappointing and sad. I wish i had not bought this phone. Even with fresh - Company made and official firmware, my dialer keeps on hanging/crashing and it is really annoying. I just can not use a very basic functionality of a samrt phone which is to call and receive call. I went throught blogs just to find out 1000s of people have the same annoying problem. I mean how could sony made such a shameful product. I guess they must have outsourced everything to china yet again. Why does not Sony change its name to Chony?

  • sir am facing a problem on sim slot of sony xperia p model.because my sim not supported ph.so that what i have do?

  • Go on seting after go on apps then opn album foldr and dlt the clear data

  • This phone is good to start, but worst after one year! Getting hanged/blocked when receive call or take at-list 10 sec to outgoing calls. The worst thing is no service center has solution for this problem. Time to change the phone!

  • bin thinkin of gettin me1, but on the look of it......m thinkin...

  • it is incredible phone. really I have it for almost 1year and 8 months. still working very good, same battery. I am very sad for those how having problems with it, but in my opinion it is very very good phone, every time I try to change it and being. a new phone step back and say to myself I will never find a good phone. like it, I love xperia p

  • after a year its very bad please dont buy any more

  • never buy this phone xperia p. phone is good, user friendly. after one year of usage it gets hanged/switched off and service centre of madona electronics, cochin is very bad. they just keep the phone for days and never respond. we have to wait at service centre for hours to know the status. their response is iritating .my advice don't buy.....

  • My xperia p is about 1year old....it dies soon after turning data on even if battry is fully charged. If data is off its ok......but whats the use of smartphone without a net connection....;(

  • it was the one of the best phone. After using 1 year I face problem with battery. Anyone suggest me how can I solve this problem??

  • The phone is really good, but as a time goes it create problem with battery it drain faster and faster. if I turn on data connection the phone get switch off even battery is full. and also on standby mode. please help me, I need to replace battery or change the phone. Second think is SONY SERVICING CENTER IS REALLY REALLY BAD. Specially at my place Goa. They don't even have spare and they don't even bothered about costmer. About 1 and half month pass I ordered battery of xperia p but result is zero. and now they says we don't have spare of mobile.

  • You could buy your self a Motorola Moto G. It is around 200�. Has a quad-core snapdragon 400 with upgraded adreno 305 running at 450MHz. Also a very good batterylife and display. But if you realy want a Sony phone you can get the original Xperia Z for 250-300�. It also has very good battery.Both of the phones I suggested have android 4.4.

  • At first it was the best phone in the world.About 6 months it run pretty well.Then started the battery problem.Now it doesn't last even an hour with mobile data on.I just need another phone with good battery life.

  • you can throw it away when its battry died..

  • my unit keeps on restarting. anyone can help me please? thanks

  • yes, thats how it works,. u need to clear cache memory.. it will give u a dialogue box asking, that all data wud be deleted, Click on YEs n dont worry,none of ur photos wud be deleted

  • You may try this...goto setting, goto apps, goto All tab, select Album, click force stop, clear data and clear cache. Restart your phone. Album will load successfully when you use the app.

  • My camera ALBUM is not opening from 2 months on time , can anyone help me out from this issue..

  • I noticed a bit of lag too and some other bugs with the original software. Then, I realized that there are some other modified rom's to this incredible phone, a thousand times better then the original one. Go to xdadevelopers forum and do a quick search. I'm using percy's last 4.4.3 kitkat versions and it is amazingly well done. Very smooth, very fast, amazing battery lifetime. (4.4.4 is being developed). It is a shame Sony doesnt continue developing android's operating system to this phone, but you have another great ways to use it as it should be used. And again, do a quick search in xda developers forum (Xperia P category, of course) and see what they've got there. Donate to the developers too.

  • same problem

  • I think generally Sony is a let down and this is seen on this phone.It has massive lag,The battery is just unbearable among other things.

  • I loved it when I first got it, but now, two years later, I have to say I'm a little bit dissapointed. Everything was fine for the first months, but after that it begun crashing: very often errors, battery discharged after 5-6 hours, things like that. From time to time it even turns itself off. :| I really feel sorry for these problems, because otherwise it would have been a very satisfying phone

  • my led lights are not working plz help me

  • Kia ora I have an Xperia x10 and I love it. I have put it in to be fixed once and now I will need to put it back in to get it repaired again. It is in the charging area where the problem is.

  • My phone is to much hanging and sum time no working is tuch screen plz help me

  • good phone except that the battery get used very quickly and so has to change for a new battery each year

  • If you have upgraded to the Android version 4.1.2 (Jelly Bean) the battery is lasting less than in the previous version of Android. So that the battery lasted longer I put in the developer options to limit background processes for "Without background processes".

Because at first i am impressed by its performance in games, net surfing and other features but after a couple of months it hangs, and my battery drained faster. I tried to use factory data reset or settings reset but just like before it still go back to being slow and so as its battery. I already used the extended standby mode and didn't install any games, but it still drained faster than before. It's just annoying. I just want another phone with longer battery life.

  • Always is hanging, it is a very very very very bad Smart Phone...

  • This happens with updated facebook version only. If you want to download video with downloader etc, their is only one way to do so! 1: Comment something on the video. 2: go to your own profile. 3: click on activity log 4: click on your comment a pop up will appear like you asked! Hope this will help! Kashif

  • Pop up menu for completing actions is triggered only if there is no default application defined for specific action. If you want to change default action, you first have to find out which app is default for opening videos from Facebook (this is the app that opens when you press on video in Facebook all) and then find this app in Settings -> Applications choose it and press Clear defaults. Then go to Facebook all again, press on video file and you will get pop-up again. There you can choose appropriate app for videos (choose Once only button until you find app of your choice, and when you are satisfied with app choose Always).

  • Whenever I open videos in Facebook, I don't get the pop up menu,'complete action using'. What I have to do to get that?? Can somebody help me plz..

  • U can download gallery from play store..then can see photos

  • hi,I upgraded to jb,now I cant see my photos in album.what to do?

  • First try Repairing your System (with PCC or SUS), just google this site for that, there are bunch of my posts describing how to do that in detail. Then do couple full battery cycles (also described before how to do that). Then, if problem persist, go to the nearest Sony Repair Center and ask for battery replacement (or problem with charging parts inside phone.

  • Sorry but I'm not familiar with specific problem. I noticed something on Lenovo site but there was mentioned joining two partitions (C: and D:) and resizing by using waste space on OneTouchRecovery partition. If you care to explain a bit in detail what is the situation, and what actually you want to accomplish, I might be of more help to you.

  • I don't know what happened to my Xperia P. There's no signal now. I already change the sim and rebooted it but there's no effect. Anybody who could me, please?

  • Yup, you can update Win 8 to Win 8.1 for free. I'm not sure what do you want to do with partitioning, but you should take care to use non-destructive partition manager (otherwise it might delete all your data). Also notice that you cannot shrink partition below the amount of used data (for instance, if you have 500 GB HDD and 200 GB is occupied with your programs and data, you cannot shrink it below 200 GB, to prevent that you delete useful data from disk). If you have Extended partition you cannot shrink it before you shrink Logical partition(s) inside Extended partition, and Primary partitions can be resized freely, as long as there is enough space on disk.

  • ok,so I can update into 8.1 na? I tried partioning hard disks,but not able to.shrink :-(

  • I highly doubt you can upgrade Windows 8 to Windows 8 Pro for free since the price of Pro is almost double the price of regular version (199.99 vs 119.99 USD in USA). You probably heard that you can update Windows 8 to Windows 8.1 for free, and thats understandable since 8.1 is regular (and free) update for Windows 8.

  • thank you maxym,well I have one other doubt,not about Xperia p,I think my Windows 8 is genuine,heard like we can update freely into Windows 8 pro,is it rite?

  • After upgrade jb 4.1.2, factory reset will fix the lag.

  • factory reset. Its fixed for my 4.1.2 jb.

  • who tu check the phone is refurish or not? please tell me any one i am worried aout this i uy a xperia p its wifi is very slow

  • ES File explorer gives you possibility to see files on your smartphone in same manner like on PC (using File Explorer or similar software) You need file shredding software only if you worry passionately about your security, otherwise, use your phone/PC as usually, and do this deletion process only when selling or disposing your device.

  • thank you very much for making me understand in the best way,well whats the use of that software sir?I downloaded it when you said,should I use file shredders in future?

  • jeena, It's difficult to explain it without writing long posts tedious for reading. I wasn't using any special terms. So let's explain why deleting everything and then copying huge files. When you delete some file from your smartphone (or PC-s hard-disk) you are not deleting actual file, but just pointer to the specific file in the internal 'address book' which tells to your smartphone what file you stored on the memory, and where it is. This way, deleting any file, no matter how big it is, takes same amount of time (very, very fast) but leave actual data on disk, until some new data overwrites it. Programs that 'undelete' files works in a way that they scan memory without using 'address book', and they can restore files that have been deleted, but not overwritten. So, if you delete your pictures from your smartphone, pictures information would still be there, but regular OS programs would not be able to 'see' it (because they are not in 'address book'). But, if your transfer some files to your smartphone they will overwrite previous data (including your pictures information). I mentioned movies, because they are big enough to fill your smartphone memory fast, otherwise, you would need to copy very long number of smaller files. After you fill up all your memory with some files, and delete them, 'undeleting' will discover these movies, but not your pictures (because the files you transferred from your PC actually deleted your pictures). Happy now? :-)

  • iam worried about the pictures that are deleted before,one of my friend told me that the photos that I delted can also be recovered,whats the use of es manager then?I didnt understand about the huge file,you told about copying movies na?please help me,am not technicaly good,so please use basic terms,because I don't know much about mobiles.thank you very much for your reply.

  • Yup, I am on Facebook, but I think people who have problems will likely find this page than me on Facebook. And beside, I prefer to keep only my real friends (and some acquaintances) on Facebook.

  • Your pictures and files are stored in /sdcard folder on your phones memory. This part is not affected by Factory reset procedure or update to new OS (it would be very awkward if OS update would erase user files. You can install some file browser like ES File Explorer and manually delete all files and folders in /sdcard (you can delete pictures inside Album app), and the (to be sure that no one can undelete your files, you can copy couple of huge files (preferably movies) from your PC to the Phone memory until it's full. Then delete these files again, and that should do the trick.

  • are you using your phone or just keeping on the desk and watching. don't make this kind of stupid comedy

  • hi.am going to sell my phone,am afraid that anyone who buy this will recover my photos and files,what should I do?is there any use by resetting the phone or by updating into jb?help me,thanks in.advance :-)

  • hi maxym,are you there in Facebook.why don't you start a page in Facebook to answer the queries?

  • Do you experienced any call lags after updating to jellybean? And how do you fix them?

  • Try repairing OS through SUS or PC Companion.

  • Dude i have the same proplem with my phone , i don't know if reupdating will resolve this problem or not !!

  • It hangs everytime I answer the phone when someone is calling. Ive been experiencing this since I bought it last june 2013. It fixed the problem when I reupdated the OS, but acting up again. Please help.

  • does this mobile supports asphalt 8 & iron man 3 games ?

  • very nice mobile i love this......

  • i am using this phone since august 2013 best phone no problem and you can also connect usb or sd card through otg cable camera result is awesome than other first learn how to use camera than post your opinion many people have its flash problem in night or dim light so turn it to party mode and ev must be 0.3-1 than take the photo with flash battery is not so weak but if you turn off your phone and recharge it from 0-100 it takes hardly 60-70 minutes

  • Sony Xperia P is very nice. Most of people here writes something like bad battery or similar. If you configurate it correctly it works nice. My Xperias battery works 2-3 days with no problems. Nice display, bright display and honestly 4 inch is just enough. Not to big not too small. Don't be stupid. Learn to use phone and then say something about the phone.

  • are u a samsung employee?

  • "Very Thick... Ugly..." you realize that this phone came out in 2012, right? for a 2012 phone i'd say its decent. plus the screen is way brighter than any of the mainstream phones out right now. so be nice...? what if some girl told you that you were too thick and ugly? :P hmm...

  • Non removable battery... Non expandable memory... Very Thick... Ugly... go for TX guys

  • guys...dont buy this phone..the crappiest phone of all...it hangs up..touch doesnt work..shit phone..worse than nokia...

  • In order to install any custom ROM you need to root your phone. If You want to install custom Xperia P ROM based on KitKat, you will also need to unlock your bootloader (via official Sony pages).

  • can i update my phone 4.4 os by root plz tell me.....

  • My phone does not show downloaded videos on gallery even in pc when i connect it

  • Worst phone.never ever buy a Sony handset.. Worst battery No system WiFi direct Hangs a lot After sales service is worst Better go for a samsung or nexus

  • You can downgrade your OS by finding appropriate firmware file and installing it with Flashtool (files and instructions can be found on xda-developers forum). If you have problem with your current firmware, I can recommend you to install Honami MoonWalker v80 by following instructions in Xperia P developers thread on xda-developer forum, it's much better then latest official firmware.

  • Currently OS 4.1 JellyBean is latest official OS, without much hope to get any newer OS upgrade. There is unofficial 4.2 KitKat ROM but it's still not fully functional, and it can be installed on unlocked and rooted Xperia P by following instructions on xda-developers forum.

  • how can i back my old OS version ? 4.0

  • how can i back my old OS version ? 4.0

  • can i update my phone after 4.1 os?

  • I had a problem with the battery. The program Contacts worked nonstop and spent it in a very short time. I reinstalled the operating system and the problem disappeared.

  • Open google search and insert: doomlords easy rooting kit xperia p then follow instructions in first link in the list It's really easy.

  • Please tell me some one how to root xperia P?it's urgent

  • Search on xda-developers forum for Doomlord's root method, and there is also thread for installing custom ROM based on Kit-kat.

  • can i update my xperia p kitkat platform...and how can i root my phone any body suggest my plz......

  • Max phone. vry beautiful.

  • when ever some one calls and i try to recieve the call the phone automatically do not work or it becomes hang is there any method to solve it????

  • It does not have internal video calling option. You will have to install an app to make a video call.

  • Bluetooth and video recording doesn't work. There are other roms you can try out in the xda developers website.

  • Well the "problem" is in extremely low temperatures. It's well known fact that low temperatures drastically shortens battery life (probably because it affects battery chemistry), You can check it if you have another phone and compare battery life in same situations. Also, it's important to notice that Xperia P have aluminium body, which might give it 'a sexy' look, but on the other hand, in such extreme conditions, battery is more exposed to low temperatures (because metal is very good heat conductor, compared to plastics) and since battery is right beneath the phone case, battery temperature drops to a freezing level much faster then in phones with plastic case.

  • I am facing unique type of problem with my SXP. I am from Canada where temperature is around -25C in winters. So when I go outside of my house and use phone its battery drains in 4-5 mins and my phone get turned off even it is fully charged. But it is working well inside the room. What could be the problem with my phone? Anyone else facing same?

  • I need to know if Kit Kat from Cyanogenmod 11 unofficial is a good choice, my xperia P is laggy and sometimes too slow.

  • You can connect USB flash via compatible micro-USB to USB cable (not everyone works). There is no compatibility list regarding USB cables, so you have to test it first.

  • xperia p have usb pod ?? for use usb flash ??

  • ya nyc phone.......i luv my phone,m using it since a year....!!!!

  • friends telll me about xperia p i buy or not its a good phone ? tell some suggetions

  • Try the above steps. It might help you

  • If i make my Sony Xperia P with unofficial 4.4.2 KitKat android will it lagg a lot or something like that? -Thanks.

  • I am not sure you are doing things right. You cannot install SU (super user) before ADB drivers. First make sure that you have 'USB debugging' and 'Allow mock location' enabled in Developer section of Settings. Then verify that you have installed all proper drivers on your computer. After that try Doomlord's or Bin4ry rooting solution (later is a bit older but might also work). If that doesn't help, try with different computer (also disable any antivirus software on PC during the procedure). I successfully rooted my Xperia P on ICS with bin4ry method, but on JB that didn't work for me, but Doomlord's method worked fine. Also, I would strongly advise you to backup your data (contacts etc.) and Reformat your phone (System Repair through SonyUpdateSrrvice or PCCompanion, or flashing latest JB stock firmware through Flashtool) before rooting and installing CWM because this is the safest way to have troublefree Honami Moonwalked custom ROM.

  • hi iv been having this phone for about a year. im fed up with this piece of S**t sofware n buggy updates from sony. i recently heard about one of the best roms for XP, the honami moonwalker n ever since been trying in vain to root my device. It seems rooting JB is not easy and iv even tried Doomlord's root kit but all i get are errors and wont complete the rooting process. Im not even able to install su binary files, let alone the adb drivers for the phone and its frustrating! On top of that i got a Win8 pc and its completely different. Anyone got a solution? maxym? i just want to get a proper and full performance of the XP. Im tired of all the bugs and lags and just want to get rid of this stock rom. Many thanks in advance.

  • There is no real solution for this problem. I usually activate 2G instead of 3G, and STAMINA whenever possible (almost 10h of intensive use) I have also bought an external battery of 5600 mAh. It works fine.

  • Battery cannot be upgraded (if by upgrade you think of installing higher capacity battery) because of limited space inside Xperia P, but you can replace existing battery (if you are sure it's faulty) with new one, in Sony Repair Center, or by yourself if you have enough confidence. But before that, I suggest you to do System Repair with fresh OS install, proper battery charge cycle, and uninstallation of all programs you installed from PlayStore, to check if your battery is really faulty. If you have incorrectly calibrated battery, with all communications constantly on (WiFi, 3G, BT, NFC) and lots of installed programs that work in background, your battery might be OK, but your phone is never going to DeepSleep, and is drained in couple of hours.

  • I have the same problem (

  • great device..... only problem is the battery only 1305 mah only...... oterwise brilliant

  • Battery of xperia p is contineously disscharge,4 to 5 times needs to be charge in day.Is there any solution to upgrade the battery or replace the battery.

  • You're welcome. :-)

  • Thanks dude...........you made my day!!

  • gooogle it

  • If you want OTA Updates so badly why don't you go buy Apple iPhone and stop whining here?! :-) Sony is far from ideal company (like any other) but glitchy OTA Update is far from making it 'worst company'. And beside, Update is a feature that you might used only for 4-5 times in these three years Xperia P exist, I am sure there are features you use much much more then this one you complaining about.

  • Xperia P have scratch resistant glass (Gorilla or Dragontrail) according to the info one of the gsmarena commenter received from Sony, but they are not advertising it so obviously. Dunno why, don't ask me. Anyway, on top of the glass there is shutter-proof foil protection (hard surface materials are known for their rigidity and are prone to shattering when smashed) which is made of plastic (after all, it's called foil), and if you try to scratch your Xperia P glass you will surely damage the foil, although the glass itself might not be scratched. Beware, 'scratch resistant' doesn't mean 'scratch proof', and eventually you might see some scratches on the screen of any smartphone, it's not there to be tested, but to protect your screen from everyday abuse (normal glass would develop too many scratches in short time).

  • Rooting is name of the procedure that gives you full access to your smartphone resources (equivalent of Administrator rights on Linux or Windows OS). Term "rooting" came from term 'root' which designate 'Administrator' on Linux OS. Usually all smartphones comes with standard 'user' rights, because of two important things; first it prevents user to accidentally mess up system files (and render phone unusable), and second, it prevents malicious programs to alter system data and expand to other devices. But for an advanced user who knows what he is doing, and is willing to accept the risk (which is minimal compared to benefits), 'rooting' gives possibility to install system programs like firewalls, CPU-control etc., and also to install non-factory ROM (custom ROM-s 'cooked' by enthusiasts) getting better performance or new functionality from your smartphone.

  • What does rooting the phone means?

  • is there(xperia p) a function of a scratch resistant glass? anyone tried it?

  • worst phone ever!!!!! why sony cannot update it's phone without tethering to a computer? why we cant update it over the air? worst company! a big mistake!

  • Try reset ur phone if this problem continues then downgrade ur android version to gingerbread at any sony care

  • my phone hangs sometimes and i have to remove the sim to restart it, is there a solution to it?

  • my phone hangs sometimes and i have to remove the sim to restart it, is there a solution to it?

  • The problems you are describing (one third screen in black when using camera) were due to a bug in former ICS firmware. Current firmware works much better, and you need to perform System Repair to sort out some problems (or just Factory reset your phone and do clean install. Alternative is to install Honami MoonWalker v 8.0 (rooting and CWM Recovery is mandatory, but easy to perform even for newbies, all you need is to follow instructions on xda-devolpers forum.

  • There is no smartphone with built-in video calling (unless video calling app is pre-installed) so you have to install video calling application of your choice from the Google Play Store (you have to install same application that other phone, the one you want to video-call, is using).

  • same wid me

  • It's the most stupid phone ever bought by me. It is very slow, the Instagram or the Skype applications have the camera covered in black more than a half, if I want to answer to someone I can't answer because it's not responding, all other applications work slow and the phone is not responding some times. This is happening with the 4.04 Android. Upgrading it makes it even worse. I can't answer most of the calls or if I want to close a phone call it doesn't do it at all. I want to smash it!

  • Is this phone(xperia p) has internal video calling option? or need to be additional software for video call.

  • Rooting your phone doesn't change anything regarding internal system except giving you 'root' (maximum access privilege) rights and ability to see and change system part of internal memory (which is usually hidden from average user). To solve your problems you probably need System Repair or clean installation (which will probably remove 'root' but that wouldn't be the problem now that you know how to do it. I recommend you to go to xda-developers forum and search for Honami MoonWalker v8.0 and install this custom ROM on your Xperia P for full eXperience. ;-)

  • Rooting is an easy thing to do, just search for Doomlord easy root on xda-developers forum, and you'll be done in couple minutes (procedure is like this, you download short program from the net, connect your phone, start downloaded application on your PC, and follow instructions, after one minute your phone will reboot, and you will get root privileges). I's easy and simple (no need to flash pre-rooted ROM like on other smartphones). Hi, I downloaded and rooted my xperia p using the same Doomlord. But some the problems that were there before are still there: - the speaker stops working (no incoming caller tones, no alarms, no notification sounds) - the Sony's Album is not showing any images or videos! Is there anything more that I can do? Thanks in advance

  • Try recalibrating battery with System Repair (search for older post for details). Also, if your Xperia P is rooted, you can install Battery Calibration app from Google store.

  • My phones battery keeps reducing suddenly and it gets switched off. Battery shows 100 percentage nd suddenly it will show 0 percent

  • good mobile;super features

  • this is a very good mobile......i love it....!! i m using it for 1 year......!! there's no problem on it...!! :)

  • My handset is witkung in wcdmi mode only when putting gsm mode automatically switching off..... Customer care supporters told to change motherboard bcz ic problem..... So i need help.......

  • I have this phone. But most of the time its loud speaker does not work. I have shown the phone to their service centre but no proper response/action. Their service to the customer is very poor.

  • Same as me since I am update to jelly bean. Before this I m using ICS it more excellent and good performance. Try downgrade your andriod from jb to ics. But when ics has bug such as the flash camera while snapping. That all.

  • If you refer to internal memory size (term ROM is often incorrectly used for internal memory on many Chinese sites), it's 16 GB, while 13 GB is user available.

  • How much is the rom size of xperia p?

  • i had a problem with my xperia p...i have this unknown album and when i opened it it forces close..i tried to delete the whole album and it doesn't delete..i tried also to clear all my internal storage...but all was left was that unknown album...what should i do?please help

  • Have you tried restarting your phone??

  • OTG does work on Xperia P, but unfortunately, you cannot be sure if it's going to work with that device until you try it. (fyi, some ORG cables works with Xperia P, and some don't).

  • Galaxy S2 was flagship in its time, Xperia P was just one in line. But, each one has it's own strength, so it's up to You to decide.

  • which is better xperia p or galaxy s2?

  • Rooting is an easy thing to do, just search for Doomlord easy root on xda-developers forum, and you'll be done in couple minutes (procedure is like this, you download short program from the net, connect your phone, start downloaded application on your PC, and follow instructions, after one minute your phone will reboot, and you will get root privileges). I's easy and simple (no need to flash pre-rooted ROM like on other smartphones). Don't be scared, you cannot damage your phone, and need not to be superscientist to do this.

  • Hi all, I have a xperia P handset. i want to know whether on-the-go function is available in this handset.I want to buy HYBRID DUAL PENDRIVE For Mobile and Tablets & it works only if OTG function is there. Please suggest. thanks biswa

  • Rooting is kind of hard to me, but I will try system repair. Thank you maxym!

  • It's hard to say what is the cause of your problem, but you might solve it with Battery Calibration program (from PlayStore). Your phone has to be rooted so, if you don't want to root the phone, you can perform battery calibration with System Repair and proper charge cycle (discharge until phone 'dies' then charge up to 100% without disconnecting charger, and charging for at least 4-5 hours.

  • After I charge my phone, the battery percentage on the status bar shows 100%. But when I go to power management section, and the battery usage graph shows phone is charged less than 100%. But if I restart my phone while charging then the graph and status bar accurately shows 100%....! Why is this happening?

  • Something went wrong with your system. Only way to fix it is to do Repair through PC Companion (you can install it from your phone) or Sony Update Service (better option) which you can download from Sony official pages. You need to go to System update option in either of these programs, and after you get message that your system is already updated, you will get option to Repair. Your pictures and documents (and everything in \sdcard folder will not be deleted but you will have to setup your phone again (synchronize your contacts with Google if you didn't do it before).

  • I see.thanks for the well detailed explanation. :)

  • I have a sony Xperia P phone, and all of a sudden all the apps dont work! eg: Whatsapp , messenger etc.. and everytime i try to take it off silent mode the phone automatically restarts.im totally handicapped without my phone. please help?

  • I had this phone before. The screen is perfect(colours,view angles).Now i have the z1 and the screen is worse..

  • You're welcome.

  • Thanks for your support

  • If your warranty on phone is already expired, then rooting doesn't change anything. You already got explanation about rooting, just to explain a little more: By default, regular user of Android phone doesn't have maximum privileges. This is done in order to prevent viruses and malvares to eventually change important system data. Equivalent in PC world would be Administrator rights for 'root', and User rights for regular user. Usually you access your PC with User rights, and if some of your programs need to access system data you have start it with 'Run as Administrator' option, otherwise it wouldn't work. There are some useful programs on PlayStore that wouldn't work (or at least not up to full potential) without 'root' access, like firewalls (regulating what program have permission to access GSM data or WiFi connection, system backup programs, CPU speed control programs, browsing system folder, etc. And most importantly, without root you cannot flash custom ROMs.

  • I'm not sure what could be wrong. Try changing to WCDMA (if you have 3G network available, and then manually select your telecom operator) and try call someone. I't looks like your phone is network locked to some other operator, but if that was true, it wouldn't register in first place.

  • My Network came but when i call someone the network goes off and i have selected GSM mode then only my phone comes.

  • Rooting is to obtain system file manipulating right-with this you can install custom rom(custom operate sistem),modify the CPU freqvency-overclock,delete some stock aplication unusuable,etc...sorry for my english.

  • When I starts the phone with Sim Its comes as Selected Network unavailable

  • I see, thanks for the advice. Btw, what is rooting? What does it to to ur phone? I'm kinda hesitant to do that since my warranty is done already.

  • I've been using this phone for 13months already, satisfied with the features but the battery is a bit disappointing. I wanna know if it's possible to change to higher MAH battery? Will it shortcircuit?pls advice

  • I am not sure I understood your reply.

  • ITS coming registering on IND airtel

  • Try these steps from talk-sonymobile: 1.Remove SIM and start the phone 2.Open android system settings by dialing *#*#4636#*#* code in phone dial up. 3.Open phone information and select WDCMA Only. 4.Insert SIM and let phone restart and **bleep** soon **bleep** it starts switch to Airplane Mode before it switches off. 5.Repeat step two, now the settings there will be automatically on 'Unknown'. Go to mobile network and select your SIM card network the phone signal will re-appear.

  • My Xperia P does not start when I insert the sim card and it turns off..what should I do

  • Try doing Repair in PCC or SUS, or flash MoonWalker v8.0, if that doesn't solve it then it might be hardware related so go to Service Center for a repair.

  • I'm quite disappointed about the xperia p. I bought this kind of phone last Year 27th of May 2013 and after 3 months my problem started. I'm having problem with answering calls because it will stop working for a minute and then you can't hear the caller for 9seconds. I already tried to reformat my phone but after a week it goes back ti its original problem.

  • If you use your Xperia P normally you will get one full day of use (16-17 hours). If your battery last shorter you might try calibrate your battery (Battery Calibration in Play Store) but your phone need to be rooted (easy to do). There is no considerably larger battery (in terms of mAh) for Xperia P. Don't believe what you read in commercials, battery capacity is related to physical size within same technology, therefore, larger capacity battery is physically larger and couldn't be fitted inside Xperia P case. Of course, if your battery is faulty, or lost capacity due to number of charging cycles, it can be user replaced (if you know what you doing and have proper tool) there is a video on YouTube how it is done.

  • I've been using XP for 1yr and 1month already, happy with the functions however not so satisfied with the battery life , so i just wanna know if IS IT OK TO CHANGE FOR A BETTER BATTERY? I am planning to buy bigger MAH battery for my XP, will this not cause SHORT CIRCUIT or destroy my phone? Pls advice. :)

  • poor service center in mumbai india screen short life

  • Factory Reset doesn't help you if your installation is messed up. You need to perform Recovery from PC Companion or SUS (search this thread for detailed explanation, I already answered it about a dozen times). Or flash custom ROM as I propose in my post below (latest version is Honami MoonWalker v 8.0).

  • hello all, am using Sony xperia P Since oct 2012 and my phone has a problem , that is not make sound when sms comes to my phone even i change my ring tone one to another.(and also i have updated to my phone to jelly and did two times factory reset) Friends if you know solution for my problem plz...suggest me.

  • Flash Honami MoonWalker 7.5 ROM from xda-developers forum. It's free, it's for both locked and unlocked bootloader, it's easy to install, all you need is 'root' and CWM Recovery (both can be done easily following the steps on xda-developers forum), and you will get super fast, butter smooth and stable experience with your Xperia P. Feel free to ask any questions regarding this procedure.

  • Lots of issues Post 4.1 JB update from ICS 1) Lagging video recorder 2) Lag in call pick up & dial 3) Thumbnails in photo album disappeared 4) Quick battery discharge Please help.

  • My battery last 1-2 days depanding on how often I use it, so there is nothing wrong with battery in Xperia P. If your battery last shorter then either your expectations are to high (you cannot surf the net for more then 3-4 hours), or something is wrong with your battery calibration or you have some misbehaving app that prevents DeepSleep CPU state.

  • xperia p :- bad battry+good volume+ good browser + good matrial+high price more than the advantages +please don't buy it

  • when i was using 4.0.1 at that time my camera was clear n shorp whn i upgrade my mobile into 4.1.2 it became worst ... what i should now?

  • Press and hold PowerOn and VoumeUp buttons, until you feel vibrations, then release. If nothing happens after couple minutes, do the same procedure but this time wait until you feel three vibrations, and then release buttons.

  • My phone turned black and white with a vertical white line on both sides. What will I do?

  • You have to do System Repair in SUS or PCC (search this thread, there are lots of answers how to do this). Alternative is to flash custom ROM like Honami MoonWalker 7.4 by Pandemic (search for it on xda-developers forum pages).

  • Unfortunately I don't think but you must confirm buddy!

  • I am using this phone from six mnths but My phone hangs alot whenever I doo heavy use it hangs and automatically get restarted and very poor battery and I havent updated my phone but still hangs in dialer in incoming and out going calls and the worst thing is when ever I download any game when I start playing it gets stuck and hangs and automatically get restarted..so pls give me a solution

  • I Have xperia p...my phone display and camera is awesome but battery life it's to average...only one disadvantage is that one...i think xperia p is better...

  • I have used several camera apps from Google Play, but I don't remember if any of them had pause recording option. The onliest solution is to record several clips and then transfer it to PC and combine these clips into longer sequence. I think you can even find utility that makes this without using Video editing software. Sorry if I wasn't of great help to you, but I use only stock camera App, and I am using camera rarely.

  • Anonymous Brother, Will u tell me. which camera aap is the best in Google store. For my sweet Xperia P. In my camera aap video shooting mode have not a pause option only stop. So I want a pause option in recoding mode for a long video clips. Please brother please please please help me. Adv thanks

  • Brother maxym. Can u tell me. which camera aap is the best in Google store. For my sweet Xperia P. In my camera aap video shooting mode have not a pause option only stop. So I want a pause option in recoding mode for a long video clips. Please brother help me. Adv thanks

  • thank you so much brother its so helpful advice

  • 1) Try doing a factory reset. OR 2) Repair your phone using PC companion or Sony Update Service. Note:- Both methods will erase your data so backup your data before doing any of the 1.

  • NFC stands for Near Fielad Communication, it works like this, if you have NFC enabled on your phone (it also drains battery during time), and if you buy some NFC tags (small plasticy tags that you can hang somewhere) your phone can detect these tags, and it can change some settings in your phone. For instance, you can have NFC tag in your car, and set-up your phone to turn on Bluetooth communication immediately when you enter your car (so that you can use your BT headset for handsfree calls), also you can set another NFC tag and put it behind your home doors, and set-up phone to turn off GSM data, turn on WiFi, and lower your Ringtone volume etc. NFC can be also used for sharing data (music) with another NFC enabled device (smartphone), and in some countries it can be used as an electronic wallet (in combination with some on-line paying system like Google Wallet).

  • You have to install some 3rd party Video call app (like Skype) search for it on Google Play, then you have to create account or login (if you are already registered) and then you can call all other users who have same app installed on their phone (so if you choose Skype, all your friends got to have Skype installed if you want to video call them.

  • what is nfc? how is it works on the phone and purpose? what is the usage and benefits on it basically what is that?

  • why is the signal is unstable? sometimes is gone even im one the serviceable area/city and i didnt notice i missed a llot of calls and txt msgs

  • my phone is heating......what happen 2 it...plz help me....battry life very short...

  • Xperia M, but I would suggest you Xperia L as it has 8mp, slightly larger screen and more storage.

  • Which one is better galaxy core or xperia M..

  • Both are better on their sides. Both have 1Ghz Dual core, 1Gb ram. Xperia P is better in Camera as it has 8Mp(Full HD) compared to 5Mp(HD) of xperia M. Also Xperia P has more storage(not expandable),high resolution screen,etc. According to specs Xperia P has greater specs than Xperia M. According to updates Xperia M may get higher updates than Xperia P.

  • which 1 is bttr p or m??

  • Yes you can update using SUS. First open SUS and read the 4 steps and than tick the checkbox below. Click on next. Than select the phone model ( Xperia P) and click next. Turn off your phone. Wait for 30 seconds. Connect the usb to computer. Press and hold the volume down key while plugging the usb cable into your phone. It will check for update and will display up to date. Than you will get option for repair and than follow the on screen instructions.

  • Sir dash thx. SUS have also repair xp?

  • For all those whose want to repair their a Xperia P: Connect your phone to PC. Open PC Companion. It will check for updates and display Your phone is up to date. Click on Your phone is upto date. A dialog box will show you to repair. Click on repair. And follow the on screen options.

  • how to make a video call from my xperia p please help me

  • is xperia l camera as good as xperia p?

  • I've noticed the water/moisture in the transparent bit of my phone, too, but don't pay much attention to it, as it doesn't affect the functionality of the phone at all. It's a great phone, though. Occasionally, a lag issue comes up - but that's very rare. Once or twice, it froze and I had to wait for it to restart and get itself together.. but that last happened a ridiculously long time ago. Also, I've dropped the phone quite a few times - several times with the screen down, and it's still perfect. Only a couple of small scratches on the back, and the corners are a little damaged, but that's because I don't use a case. Overall, it's a fantastic phone. I've had it for over a year and loved it. Now, I'm picking out good phones for my little sister to choose from - looking at lots of new, pretty models - and I still haven't found one that would replace my Xperia P for me. Would pick it with its great personalizable Android OS over an iPhone any day!

  • great smartphone with HDMI and a very nice CAMERA! for 250 usd (3300MXN) at Mexico City �i have almost 18 months with the phone and every little problem i solve it fast on the web�the phone has resisted several falls, water and still working!!

  • Xperia S

  • Xperia p vs xperia s guys?

  • Overall a good phone with good camera, but it gets a bit laggy even after update. I have another issue, the water is soaking into that transparent back, home line below the screen. I don't know is it only mine smartphone , or it is a Sony bug. That doesn't seem to have any effect on the phone.

  • Great phone by Sony....please continue it........

  • Thank you for this usefull post.Gonna buy it and share my opinions about this phone and Android(My first Android phone)

  • How can i make video call by this site

  • I own this smartphone and I must say its a great smartphone of 2012 with its unique white magic technology.I also own xperia Z which is best of all but the screen is less impressive than xperia P.XPERIA P experience the brightest screen even under the bright sunlight.best ever sony.go on SONY.

  • Xperia P light strip is only white, no changing colours.

  • Pls long touch for download now letter and then download the file

  • Maybe your phone memory is full. Try downloading update on your PC (with PC Companion or Sony Update Service) and do the update with PC (this way there is no need to use your phone memory for holding installation file with new firmware).

  • can any one tell me that xperia-p changes light in Home Back and Setting button according to yheme

  • What do you mean by 'battery stand by of 7 hours'?! When I use my phone regularly, I get 16-18 hours of total battery life (active usage + stand by time). Since lately I mostly use my business phone, so my Xperia P is used only for calls&SMS, wake-up alarm and occasional WiFi surfing, and it's battery lasts almost 3 days (63 hours to be exact). I'm not sure what are you doing to your Xperia to have such short stand-by time, might be faulty battery, incorrect battery calibration, or you might have active all communication ports (WiFi, BT, HSDPA, and bunch of programs in background). First, turn off all unnecessary communication, if you are in WiFi area, you don't need 3G or EDGE, turn it off, turn off even WiFi if you are not going to use it for some time, also turn off NFC. Uninstall all unnecessary programs (anti-virus, task-manager, battery-saver) or any other program that you have installed but not using often, or at all. I'm quite sure you can get 16 hours battery time usage.

  • Hey maxym i got my xperia p 6months ago. How can i make battery standby at least 7 hours?

  • Best phone i ever had as long as you don´t upgrade it to JB, which has lots of bugs...Luckly i was able to flash it back to ICS, and then root it....Great perfomer. Now i own it´s younger sibling the SP, which is also good in it´s own right. Still the whitemagic screen.. Makes me miss it even more..

  • when i download any theme or softwere its not working and show that its block android market,and i will try connect my usb debugging several time but its not connected,so what can i do?

  • GPU is not my main concern actually. Since, xp has only 2gig phone memory, with 700mb for android os and ui etc etc.. there is only around 1.2 gig phone memory left, and 11gig for internal memory. Asphalt 8 is like 1.4gig, will it be downloaded directly to the internal memory?

  • Hi friend Can u please guide me how can i flash back from JB to ICS fedup with this JB

  • Thanq maxym.. I will try this weekend and if i have any doubt will let you know and please guide me.

  • You can 'downgrade' to any previous version of Android, as long as you have proper *.ftf file (firmware in flashable format). The process is quite easy to perform, even for newbies, you just have to follow the procedure step-by-step. Yo can find all the informations on xda-developers pages in Xperia P section, just search for Flashtool).

  • Try to read this page first, and then ask questions. This one is already answered here (couple posts down).

  • The bugs you explained are probably not the because of buggy firmware (otherwise it would be too buggy to release) but rather from problematic update procedure. Since JB was release with one release for multiple previous regions, it's also likely that these bugs are not related to various firmware versions. I propose to you to perform Repair of Xperia P through PCC or SUS (I have already posted detail procedure multiple times here), and perform couple full charge-discharge cycles, and that will solve your problems.

  • Maybe, if it's compatible (with GPU). I know Asphalt 7 (proper Mali-400 version) worked fine.

  • where did you purchase your phone? it seems particular regions have these bugs.. a lot of people do not have it.. sadly i have these too

  • I've got my Sony Experia P phone, it has just went off with no reason, it was fully charged. Am trying to re-switch it on it doesn't respond, I've even tried to recharge it with no response, Can anybody give me a hint on how to switch it on?

  • The Jellybean update is not entirely perfect. * The front facing camera now freezes too often to be useable * When a call comes in the vibration and ring tone sometimes continue over the call itself * Battery level % rises and falls dramatically, sometimes shutting down the phone when over 15% full * When switching on WiFi it frequently restarts

  • Is it possible to download asphalt 8?

  • I am glad I could help you. Enjoy your Xperia P.

  • Do System Repair through PC Companion or Sony Update Service (search for detailed procedure in my older posts). Alternatively, you can install Phone.app version of Xperia T (search for details on xda-developers forum) if you have rooted phone.

  • Can we revert back OS to the old version! Now i am using Jelly bean i want to revert back to Ice cream sandwitch is this possible by any way?

  • Hello I have an sony Xperia P. It has been updated with Jelly bean. After updating with JB i am facing different kind of problems. The main problem is when i get a call i could not able to hear the ring and at the same time my phone is getting hanged and i could not able to lift the call too. Please give me some solutions regarding this problem

  • Bro ! Thanks bro ! you are my hero . hahahaha . thanks alot ! thanks for you feed back , i will support you :)

  • Press PowerOn and VolumeUp buttons simultaneously until you feel three vibrations.

  • I don't know of any new smartphones with whitemagic technology, but I'm quite sure there will be new ones, probably from Sony.

  • I upgraded my Xperia P to JB since the first day when that firmware got out, and I have no major shortcoming compared to ICS. Most of the problems can be sorted with Repairing OS installation.

  • My phone does not want to on even though I charged it for 2 hours n even if I connected it to the PC the PC does not recognize it WHAT Do I do?

  • Yes good phone to use but battery life is average.go for it

  • What sensor you are talking about?!

  • Uninstall Skype, then restart the phone, reinstall Skype, and try to use it. If same thing happens again (phone restart) then do System Repair through PC Companion or Sony Update Service (search for detailed procedure in my older posts).

  • My sony p shuts down every time I turn on skype. help please?

  • Hello! I had bought a Sony Xperia Sola last year. I was facing a problem which was ultimately not solved by the service centre despite repeated visits, after which the handset was switched with a Sony Xperia P by the company. The problem was- every day, once or twice, the phone was becoming unreachable. Inspite of the network bars showing full, neither were calls going out nor were calls coming. On switching the network mode from GSM only to any other & back to GSM only, the network would come back again. After I started using the Xperia P, the same problem kept happening, inspite of me changing the sim card to a new one! So, I continue to use this handset for the love of the superb camera, sound & Bravia engine. However, regarding its use for the main purpose, i.e., for making calls, its not so reliable & I use another handset on the side with another sim for emergencies! Welcoming any opinion that may shed light on the situation!!

  • no doubt about this phone buddies.... awesome smart phone ... i am very happy with my sony xperia p.... i felt it like a small PC......

  • In my phone senser is not working n it is on from the setting so what can i do for this problem plz help me..,

  • Brother can u tell me. How can I use this aap. Driver not support and what processor type using sony I don't know. Pls describe me

  • Xperia P is 'outdated' model (probably no more major updates). It does have some problems (relativley short battery time, delayed response in Phone app while receiving call, etc.) but other phones also have their problems so Xperia P is no worst or better than any other phone in the class.

  • Don't blame smartphone for your lack of knowledge. Continuous WiFi surfing on Xperia P lasts at least 3:30 to 4:00 hours, so it's obvious that you messed up something (battery calibration).

  • Worst battery backup !! After upgrading to android 4.2 lasts only for 1 hr on continous wifi use..

  • It's a custom ROM for Xperia P (for both locked and unocked bootloader).

  • P is have many problems or not??

  • kewl

  • Can anybody tell me what is moonwalker v5.5 for xperia p please?

Today I watched 3.45hrs of movies till battery drain from 100 to 0.but it restarted once when I was watching a movie after few seconds of freezing , it never happened before though. I'll inform you if the repairing solved the sudden battery draining in data browsing. Thank you.

  • my xperia p. camera eror.and video not play. plz help.

  • Oh well... you haven't used Xposed framework or viper4android audio on P. Once you do..... you will know how powerful the audio chip on our phone is... Nothing beats whitemagic and the build quality of P. Although it's a fact that P is obsolete now. Still for the right price it's great.

  • I think it's a great phone best I've ever had actually I can't thino of any faults with the display, the memory could have at least been 16 gb but 13 is still great the cameras are excellent or a phone I mean get a camera if your really that worried about it! Only fault with mine so far out of the year I've had mine is that the ear speaker has stopped working (if. Anyone can help me with fixing would be appreciated!) sucks having to use the speaker phone lol and the battery life is rather bad I use mine and have to charge it like 8-9 hours later would be good if it lasted at least 2 days with medium usage, other then that I Rate the phone a 8\10

  • There is no need to root your phone in order to downgrade from JB to ICS. Just use Flashtool and download appropriate ICS firmware file (*.ftf). Just search on xda-developers forum for detailed info.

  • Am really irritated with JB update on my Xperia P. I want to rollback to ICS,Can anyone pls help me how to do it ?

  • How to root XP from JB to ICS !? . I am totally irritated with JB,So please help me to root back to ICS

  • i have update my xperia p 5 times through pcc but no any change found .it drain automatically from 50 %to 20% without any using application. one thing more it black polish is removing itself and whit still showing on back side .it is the new drawback of this phone .so laminate your phone from back side otherwise this phone will losse it black cloth.

  • Sony Xperia P. I really dont recommend this smartphone. I bought this 6 months ago. It comes with android ICS - later can be upgraded to JB. 8 mp camera is average with a weak led flash. Music player is weak. Battery drains fast. And a lot of bugs. Dont waste your money on this one, even a second hand Xperia P, or Xperia. Sony smartphones made in china are craps.

  • PCC = PC Companion SUS = Sony Update Service Repair is done by choosing System update, and going through process until you got the message that your System is already updated. Then You will get additional button for Repairing installation. Do backup your phone before the process. After repair, do 2-3 full battery cycles (after update use your phone until battery goes under 10% then charge to 100%, and use again until under 10%, also make sure that you don't 'fill up' the battery i.e. don't charge it partially in between 100% and 10%).

  • maxym! my fren!! can i repair my battery from PCC...u mean pC companion?? but the problem is i dont know how to repair it from here....anyways thanx for ur suggestion !!

  • maxym! fren how can i repair my battery from PCC...u mean pc companion ?? thankss for ur suggestions..but the problem is how to repair from pc companion :(

  • Okay so i decided to but an Xperia P and i dont want any kind of suggestions all what im asking for is the quality of the phone and speed? i use Smartphone for multi tasking however i dont have enough money for better than Xperia P moreover, is updating for JB is good idea?

  • Your battery calibration got wrong. Do repair in SUS or PCC (look at the previous posts here for details).

  • Hey frens !! my phone's battery suddenly drops from 40% to 0% in seconds.. this is from 2-3 days....i am in tension regarding this.. what to do ??? :(

  • Okay maxym, tomorrow or day after tomorrow I'll repair my phone. Thank you.

  • Yep, after repair you have to perform at least 1-2 full cycles (without any charging until it goes under 10%).

  • Surely I'll give it a repair and give you a feedback within few days. But I think after a repair I should manage some full charge cycles, am I correct? So after you answered that, I'll try repairing. Thanks a lot for the quick reply maxym.

  • Hey guys is it good to buy an xperia p ?

  • OK then. Take Xperia M if you want longer use on single battery charge and don't mind smaller memory for user programs and smaller screen (but higher DPI), or take Xperia L if you need a little better specced smartphone with bigger user programs memory, at the expence of shorter battery life per charge.

  • I have similar situations like yours, but I use my Xperia in different way, since it's my second smartphone (first is HTC One S, my business phone), and I use it for 3-4 phone calls per day, and occasional mail and web surfing. This way my battery last for 3-4 days, but if I start using power intensive operation when battery is under 20%, battery percentage start to drop fast (about 1% per minute or even faster, but when I stop it and go to stand-by, battery percentage goes up for 2-3% Problem arise because battery percentage is calculated by actual battery capacity (measured in mAh) and its quite high when there is small battery drain (in stand-by, or without using data), but when high battery drain starts, capacity drops down. It usually happens when battery is old (lots of full battery charge cycles), or when battery calibration is messed up. So, give it a try with repair, and send us back a feedback.

  • Does anyone have this problem?? When my phone's battery power is at 15 or below, and when I turned on data and start browsing, all the battery power drops to 0 in a sudden and phone turns off. But I can turn it on after few minutes. And then it displays the setup guide in the status bar and it feels like some settings had reset. Can I fix this after a repair or what should I do? Thanks for anyone who gives a solution.

  • nope... failed.. the hd caller itself does not hang.. but in the background it is still using the native semc.phone. the only difference in using the app is, it shows that the call has been picked up, shows you the time elapsed from start.. but in actual the call hasnt been connected.. cuz voice does not go through.. conclusion: SONY JB sucks.... big time.. never SONY again.

  • "HD full caller ID " is this the full name of the app? ok i will give it a try..

  • do not update to JB.. reason: even though every bit of user experience is much better in JB, the downside will be just one: the basic purpose of your devise will be ****ed up!! when you will receive call, it will take atleast 6 seconds for the call to conect after you have accepted the call!! same with placing calls!! phonebook will lag as hell!! if you do not have these issues now, i suggest dont update, just throw away ur sony and choose from any other brand.. i am so pissed at SONY for making suhch shitty software!! what good is a phone when you cant even make and receive calls without loosing your mind!!

  • Hi, i m using xperia p for almost 3month. nw i m confused abt upgrading to JB. Should i upgrade or shouldnt? i want suggestion. And wht will be the advantages and disadvantages of upgrading to JB. if anyone kindly give me some suggestions, i will be thankfulll to him...

  • its better to drop idea to buy sony p.. better to go to the newly launched sony xperia m or dual.. its best at 14k

  • Xperia phones that has been stopped I'm production is still serviceable in Sony service centers. I Just got my old neo v repaired. Anyways Xperia p I would say is the best 4" phone ever. The 13gig useable memory have a lot of advantage, the screen is still the best and can go head to head with any phones available right now. Down side is the battery. Cams are not the best but ok for a midrange. Another option is s3 mini, they go head to head. S duos too. But if you want a premium phone at midrange xp is the one for you. Also if you Windows os is your consideration, you might try to see HTC win 8s and Nokia 720.

  • I am sorry I did not communicate very well. Get Exdialer for contact loading issue and HD caller ID for call receiving issue. Because after the JB update contacts loads real slow and receive calls takes few seconds. So I suggest you get both. Hope this helps this time

  • Hey guys this phone is great iam using it for around 9 months and iam very much satisfied camera is excellent and battery ill mostly charge once a day but in case of heavy usage twice great phone and iam using ICS

  • sir please dont say like this.I checked Xperia m and Xperia L,but I cant take a final decision.so hope you can help me in decision making,whatever you say,thats my decision coz your replies my earlier queries where outstanding.so plzzzz.

  • I'm sorry but I usually don't comment question regarding the purchase of model x or model y, since it should be something everyone decide for himself. Your friends are right, both Galaxy S2 and Xperia P are out of production, and most probably will not get any more major OS updates, so it would be wise to choose something newer if you want some support in the future.

  • I'm using this phone for about 12 months now. All of a sudden loud speaker stopped working. i tried re installing the software, i flashed back the ICS rom, nothing seem to be working. i tried the service test. that does not work either. what should i do now? any help.

  • Stand-by Up to 470 h (2G) / Up to 475 h (3G) although it say so according to the specification, the battery will not last more than 6 hours (may be less than 6 hours) if tethering, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth is switched on.

  • hi maxym,I am very much confused,I thought to buy Xperia p or samsung s2,but my friends are saying as it is old one,they have stopped production, so in future I may not able to service.so shall I drop my plan?orelse am planning to buy a mobile within the range of 14k,how about Xperia M?pls reply sir...

  • hi maxym,iam bit confused,I need to buy a mobile in the range of 14k,my options where Xperia p,samsung s2,but my friend saying that these mobiles stopped production,so I may not get the service in future.so shall I go for these or can you suggest any other mobiles?how about Xperia M?sir eagerly waiting for your reply...

  • is the front camera is good? for example if your on skype, is the quality of cam is great?

  • You can flash ics back using flashtool. Follow the instructions carefully and you can download the ftf file here

  • call attending is too slow waste my time,if i press attend button it will stuck after 5 to 10 seconda it will working

  • I would rather say that u use ur Lumia for some more time and then upgrade to another phone. i've beenusing three phones from sony Xperia P,Miro ,Sl and i just hate them all. Although they gt all nice features but the processors are just too smal to handle the phone and these three phones suck. U rather go for another windows phone or some Samsung phone

  • can u please tell me how to root Sony Xperia p

  • You can edit MS Office documents on Android if you install appropriate program (there are several on the market), but non of them is free.

  • no my friend it does not solve the problem... all it does is load your phonebook faster.. but the dialer remains the stock one.. i mean even if you place a call from ExDialer, the call will still go through the stock dialer.. and same is the case while receiving. phonebook and dialer are different..

  • i need to buy experia p, but currently am using lumia 720..... can anyone compare between the two,... can i edit microsoft docs using experia p

  • Rooted my phone to ICS back from JB since JB was giving me a headache... Happier now.. I can help with Rooting if someone needs to do it on their phones

  • Hello guys! I use this phone for 6 months now its nice phone! But I face a problem now with the voice 2 days ago I made a Skype call and I was using earphones and Mic! After the call the phone stoped giving the voice from the speaker! Like I can't listen to music or even make a normal phone call unless. I am using the earphones and Mic! Also when I receive A text or on whatsapp o dont hear any voice Notification! SO is that something wwith settings?! I appreciate your Help!

  • unbrick your phone? PRESS POWER BUTTON + VOL UP and mantain these button pressed.Your phone turn off and now you turn on.

  • Or get HD caller ID. Problem solved.

  • I don't think its wise to downgrade to ICS. Instead Get Dialer+ or ExDialer & Contacts from android play store.That's how I solve mine.....

  • Xperia P of course. Xperia go is still uses 320 x 480 pixel. Nowadays, you would be better choose higher resolution and Xperia P is your choice.

  • my phone does not response anymore, i press the power button but there is no response, the screen became black and there is no display. but the toggle keys have lights. please help my with my phone. thank you

  • xperia p or xperia go? please help,thanks

  • xperia p or xperia go? thanks

  • Why people don't talk much about the actual display of phones. They say only the specification and resolution , ppi etc. this phones screen blows out everything else on the market. Sgn2 looks shamefully bad in comparison, iPhone looks dull. Can't find any other screen which is as bright and vibrant as this.

  • thanxsxsxx

  • thank uuuuuuuu so much.......

  • Guys can anyone please tel mel how to downgrade the os version from jelly bean to ics in Xperia p because after the upgrade i accept alots of things is going great but its most annoying problem after the update is that it hangs for 10 to 15 seconds after tapping the slider to pick a call please help me. I will be very thankfull to him.

  • I am also having the same problem with my Xperia P. I don't know what to do?? Really its very annoying when tap the slider to pick call and its not responding for 10 to 15 second s..please help me..

  • loud speaker does not work, what should I do?

  • Your smartphone goes to Safe mode when some user installed application or system manipulation makes system unstable and OS crashes. If you haven't been doing any system changes (rooting phone and manipulating system files) then probable problem is some user installed program. Try to uninstall all recently installed programs and see if that helps. If that doesn't help, do Repair your OS through PCC or SUS (but first uninstall programs you installed about the time that these problems appear).

  • Hello Xperia users!!!! There's a problem on my phone!!! Sometimes it shows a safe mode and not showing any apps installed in sd card!!! Any one ever faced this problem!!! Is there any way to stop this???? And what does it means??? Plz help me

  • congratulations

  • finaly i got sony xperia p

  • No it isn't.

  • Is it water resistant???

  • I had the same problem, but after i limited some app i found it useful. Great phone but not impressive as i thought

  • sonika, During normal use (web browsing on WiFi, playing non-intensive 2D game) your Xperia P shouldn't overheat, but if You are playing some 3D intensive game, it usually heats up to the point where is a little uncomfortable to put it on your ear (if you get incoming call during game, or right after. If your phone heats up to the point where is uncomfortable to hold phone in your hands, during normal use, then it might indicate some problem with battery or power circuits (heat is generated by battery if the power drain is excessive, or if battery is malfunctioning), and onliest solution is to bring your Xperia P to Service center.

  • Hi maxym,, my. Sony Xperia P is going to be over heat in just using of. 15 to 20 minutes,, there is any solutions ??? plzzzzzz tell me what I have to do,,,, plzzzzzz plzzzzzz plzzzzzz...

  • yeah, i inserted different sim card.but i didn't saw any change

  • yeah, i inserted different sim card.but i didn't saw any change

  • Can't help you much, because lately I have no free time to spend. I'guess some of new Xperias like Z1/Z Ultra with Triluminos display technology looks even better then Xperia P WhiteMagic, but these modeles are far more expensive.

  • Not at all a good mobile. Features of the mobile is very good. But, if internet is on, we cannot use any of the features, since battery of the phone doesnt stay more than 2 hours. If we are on call, then it doesnt stay more than 4 hours. Reason is battery is only 1305mAH It is also very slow. The price of the mobile is very high and of no use in spite of good features in it. We can use the features if battery can stay for longer time. Please do not go for this or xperia z. I have lost faith in Sony mobile brand.

  • hello maxym can u help me if I wanna to pick a mobile like Xperia p in superb. display and white magic. technology can u suggest. me a phone like amazing Xperia p pls help me

  • Helloooo sony xperia users . Iam using now sony xperia go for 4 months .. But the phone slow down and it lags so much . And im thinking to buy xperia P .. So whats ur opinnions abt this phone . Do i buy it ? Thx in advance :)

  • You need proper cable (micro-USB male to USB female), and after connecting, you need to mount USB memory in Settings.

  • Nope. As far as I now, only Xperia S (from NXT 2012 series) is PS certified, and probably some newer top-of-the-line model. Playing PS games on smartphone is pain-in-the-a__ anyway.

  • how can i connect usb (pin drive) with my xperia p

  • this phone is playstation certified anybody tell me plzzzz ??????

  • There are two white-papers on Sony official site, one from Feb 2012 named whitepaper_EN_lt22_xperia_p, and other from Apr 2012 named Xperia_P_WP_2. First one states (incorrectly) that GPU is Adreno 205, and other one stats that GPU is Mali-400. Since in both white-papers SoC is NovaThor U8500 it's clear that correct information is Mali-400 since only Mali-400 and PowerVR GPU's are used in NovaThor SoCs.

  • You don't need to be afraid of PC viruses on Android smartphone (what's virus for PC is worthless peace of code on Linux, OSX, or Android). Your smartphone can be infected only by malicious code for Android especially if you install programs from unauthorized sources (although sometimes it happens on Play Store too, but it's rare situation, and it's solved quickly). Antivirus on Android phone effectively doesn't do anything useful, but works in background slowing down your phone, and wasting battery capacity for nothing. As for the brightness of transparent strip icons, it happens because this strip is laminated (made of two separate peace of transparent plastic) and after some time it separates (showing some liquid, probably adhesive)and light from LED doesn't bounce as it's expected. It's common problem but can't be solved forever (it can be changed under warranty, but new strip will show same problem after some time.

  • my illumination bar cracked..and illumination light in home and options keys are dim...how can I replace it...?pls reply...it comes under warranty...?

  • Maxym, are you sure about the phone doesn't need an anti virus? What if I plug the phone to several PCs. Instead of my own PC? And can you please give me a solution, LEDs in my transparent strip have different brightness. And I heard several people mentioned about the problem few months earlier, but I have noticed recently, that mine has the same problem. Thank you.

  • No need for antivirus on smartphone.

  • No it doesn't. ST-Ericsson never used Adreno GPU. Snapdragon SoC uses Adreno, and Snapdragon was ST-Ericsson competition (not anymore since ST-Ericsson is out of production now. Even Sony can make mistake sometimes.

  • Antvirus ok

  • it has adreno-205 gpu not mali-400 gpu and it also has sony 3d surround sound audio technology!!! if you don't believe check the sony xperia p white paper from sony mobile website!!!

  • Xperia J is not good. now am using Xperia J. i want to sell this one and changed to any another one, because its not working properly, 512 RAM only .. choose better battery life and minimum 1 GB ram.. another problem with J, that is no option to save the apps to external memory..

  • Hello guys...I have a problem with my xperia P. Touch is not functioning and I cannot open my phone....Please help me.

  • Yes, it is software (there is no plural for software since it is plural by definition). Open Google Play Store and search for this two programs I wrote in my reply, install it and configure (you will need IP adresses of the phone which is in the Status part of settings).

  • Please elaborate on how I can do it? so sorry.. not that good when it comes to phone. :(

  • Every smartphone heats up when used extensively (when CPU and GPU are working on max frequency) like when playing games. No smartphone in this category can be used for more then 4-5 hours of constant use (web browsing, watching video, playing games etc). Batery life (not back-up, as most people incorrectly say) can be prolonged by turning off 3G data and WiFi when not needed, turning off syncing or setting up longer periods. Also deinstall all task managers, anti-viruses and utilities that use to run in background and wasting battery for nothing.

  • Hi frends, I'm using Xperia p from 3 month it's. very nice phone but now there is a problem in my phone,, when I'm using 'this phone it going to be heat. and battery back-up is also not good now,, is there any solutions??????? plzzzzzz help me,,,,,,,,,plzzzzzz plzzzzzz.

My question is that after JB update, any kind of wired earphone doesn't work anymore except the one that came with the box which has an inferior performance. Has this happened to anyone else and do you have any solution? Thanks.

  • It's very likely that there will be no more OS updates for Xperia P (and all other 2012 Xperia models).

  • os 4.o icecream sandwich

  • Will sony update xperia p from jb 4.1 to jb 4.2?? Are wonder if they have a plan to update it.

  • What do you mean by:'my charger doesn't fit'?! If you have problem inserting micro-USB connector into Xperia P charging/data slot, or keepeing it held there, you probably have to clean the female micro-USB connector on Xperia P side. Get some small needle, good lamp, inspect the interior of the connector, and gently remove all debris inside (ususaly some dust and fiber particle in your pocket tend to stick in the bottom of connector).

  • Yes there is.

The 8 MP camara is great good quality pictures and pixel dencity was great. This is one of the greatest phone that I ever had in this price. The battery was good if we manage to save power a battery manager is needed. This phone is great. Buy this phone. Blue Cat.

  • Is it happening on all WiFi networks or just one? Do you have some proxy firewalk installed (like DroidWall or similar)?

  • I'am not sure if you can use it as modem (with USB cable connection) but you can use it as WiFi hot-spot (Settings -> Wireless&Networks -> More -> Tethering) for other devices.

  • It's Mali-400. Snapdragon SoC uses Adreno GPU, NovaThor uses Mali-400.

  • It's not leaking, its common problem with transparent bar. It's made of two plastic pieces with some adhesive compounds in between, and after some time those two pieces separates. It's servicable for free under warranty.

  • how can I use the ph as a 3g modem? pl give ans...

  • Hi! I used to have a battery problem on this phone but I managed to get it better. I love the how the battery works now! Here are some tricks you might wanna consider: Task killers are no good. Do not use it! Also, do not use weather widget. Turn off wifi when not in use. Do not use Timescape widget too. Disable Maps and the Facebook extras. One more trick I just discovered recently if you are using Jelly Bean. Go to Developer Options, look for Animations, there are three of them there. Turn off the three animation options. You'll get better battery and phone feels smoother as it doesn't have to do the animations anymore. Animations make it slow. Right now I still have 50% on my battery and I am using the phone for 16 hours and 8 minutes.

  • Hi! This used to be my problem but I managed to get my phone last for more than a day. Task killers are no good. Do not use it! Also, do not use weather widget. Turn off wifi when not in use.

  • Dear Maxym , Appreciateyour quick response , after updating my phone with the new version , I did Repair but after doing it also itz not working :(

  • Something is leaking from my xp illumination bar......please help!!

  • Thanks for your feedback. It really helps a lot. By the way, for how long have you been using your Xperia P?.. Do you any problem with the screen, is it sensitive and responsive compare to Samsung phones?.. Thanks in advance for your reply.

  • Something is leaking from my xp illumination bar......please help!!

  • What's your point?

  • Sony Xperia P does everything it is asked for. I had a problem displaying the photos in the album app but aftering settings>>Apps>>Album>>clear cache... all is well. It is definitely far better the Galaxy SII and very close to Galaxy SIII. The phone is fluid, stable and has a better display than most Samsungs. Sony stays close to the Pure Android experience(Nexus) by only tweaking a few things in the Android UI or UX. Most definitely value for money, get this phone without hesitation. My Sony Xperia P fell in water and after drying it in an air tight container for 5 weeks, it completely revived. It had been under water for close to 20mins and it isn't water proof. Very solid phone and not plasticky like Samsung builds. My only issue is they could do better with the plastic bottom. its the weakest part of the phone. Timescape works as expected, not sure if it is useful at all. Sony smart connect is a very elegant feature, automatically putting your phone on vibrate mode or doing other things you need or assign it. Hope this helps somebody out there because people write about phones they don't own or understand. USER BEWARE :D

  • why do my xperia p cant last for a day??

  • Repair Your phone (with PCCompanion or SUS) by going to Software update, and after message that your system is up to date (if it's on latest JB firmware) you will se Repair button.

  • You should definitely upgrade to Jelly Bean.

  • I am still using ICS in my Xperia P, Should I update its OS to Jelly Bean or keep ICS??? Help me put.. Please Thanks in advance.

  • my xperia p is not connected with pc.what I do plz help me.

  • is the fone good for gaming?

  • which phon is better sony xperia p or samsung galaxy s2 ?????? plzzzz tell me.......

  • Hi, I wanna buy a new cellphone, but I can't decide between the SX SO-05D and the Sony Xperia P. Which is better? which one do you suggest i.e., which one would you buy? Also, does the battery (for both of them) really drain as fast as everybody is saying or these people just leave a lot of Apps running and forget about them? Does it last at least a day? I mean, if I charge it at night, can I use it the whole next day (average using*) and then charge again in the night? Or the battery is gonna die in the afternoon? *by average using I mean a couple of short phone calls, some messages, a few pictures, a couple of short videos, a little snapchatting and what's up messaging, maybe a little gaming... thank you very much

  • There is no such program that could remove noise from picture without degrading other properties as resolution, sharpness etc. Noise is property of sensor used in camera, and it appears when the signal strength of detected light drop below the level of static noise of the sensor elements (even in total darkness sensor 'detects' small variable signal from each pixel). If you want noiseless pictures you can only enlarge amount of light that falls on sensor, and in case of smartphone cameras you can only use built-in flash, additional light etc. (consumer cameras and DSLR can also extend exposition time, use larger aperture, change ISO, use faster lens...). You can't have noiseless pictures taken with smartphone in the dark, or in very dim situations.

  • My battery runs out automatically. Even if it is 90% when I sleep, it reduces to 60% when I wake up. What should I do?

  • Can I buy Xperia P and update it to ICS or Jellybean fearlessly. I previously had a bad experience with my xperia ray which stopped working after updating to ICS. It was much laggy but after a month the software crashed. Plz anyone help me. I want to know if there is a same issue with Xperia P??

  • After i upgraded my sony xperia to jellybean, i observed that the battery runs out very fast, much of the functions and notifications were not working, the battery life was the worst, it may read like 70 percent, then i switch it off and restart it, it will come up to 90 percent, so i downloaded flash tool and sony xperia p OS 4.1.2 jellybean at xperiadownload.cz and i followed the installation procedures, flashed my phone and re-installed the jellybean OS, things are working so fine now. Moderate consumption of battery and notifications and settings are all working like it should. Some upgrades may have issues, so it is best to reapir your phone using sony pc companion or flash it using flash tool.repair uses internet, but flashtool is manual, and it can also root your phone for you, there is an option for that.

  • Sorry guys...need some help...my album got some problem...it wont display pic....when i check with file commander...the pic still there...but cannot display...

  • you don't need headphones, and youtube strems on xperia p brilliantly, however it all depends if you have enough data plan to stream your videos. On the other hand, battery life may not support streaming on youtube for long.

  • Sorry guys...need some help...my album got some problem...it wont display pic....when i check with file commander...the pic still there...but cannot display...

  • Worst phone I have ever used slow n lags!!! never buy this phone... filled with bugs.. disappointing phone from Sony

  • Hi everyone.....I bought this phone in a use....it's an excellent phone.....but there is a problem with me.....I can't change the screen to landscape mode on my xp....also the sensor is not working when I play the games like temple run, highway rider, etc.....guys please help me....rather sensor is not working in any of the apps....is the sensor is off or it has a problem....what should I do..??

  • how long does battery last,if v disable data n just playing games??

  • OK I have this phone for 6 months or more and from the start it had a lot of problems with itself (camera, lag, GPS locator was really bad, sreen problems,...). I think that we got official update of JB around May and some features were optimized but phone still has a lot of problems mostly lagging (call lag is most annoying - delay on receiving calls, answering calls, ringing, sms typing, and so on) GPS locator via google maps is still bad - it puts you around 500 meters from your current location. Phone is very frustrating to use - a lot of issues. If you look at spec, phone doesnt look so bad but something went wrong with it :/ I would not recommend this phone.

  • yes

  • both are bit same...Sony P was lunged last year so "L" is bit new and good shape.. I'm also searching for a phone these days. but I prefer Xperia SP

  • Need a help guys, Xperia p or l?

  • I've had this phone for 3 months and I love it. My question is that after JB update, any kind of wired earphone doesn't work anymore except the one that came with the box. Has this happened to anyone and any solution? Thanks.

  • Always check running apps........make it a sure to stop unnessary apps.

  • On advance settings(wi-fi).Uncheck the auto IP support.

  • btw, i know this phone has bad battery life but i didnt expect it to be this bad

  • guys, is it normal for the battery to go from 100% to 70-60% in one night? i mean its just on standby. even with the stamina mode on. because i updated my phone to jb the moment i reached home from the shop. i never experienced ics before. btw the battery drains faster starting 40% onwards. example one song drains about 3-5% of the battery. is it because of the software or the battery? my phone is less than 3 months old btw

  • Alright guys ive decided to buy this phone in a couple of days more could you guys give me a quick reply of some of the main positive and negative points of this device

  • I suggest that you update your phone, from ICS to JB. I experienced the same problem with my instagram. After the update my instagram worked smooth again. Hope that this suggestion helps you fix your phone.

  • very good phone but short battery life - fast net - low volume

  • Can anyone tell me how to update jellybean on xperia p

  • Thanks. I'm glad I could help You.

  • i just want to clear all misconceptions regarding jb.. frens! see if u havent install jb properly because of lack of patience then only ur phone gets problem after update...if u upgrade ur phone with a strong internet connection and with patience then u will be happy after ur jellybean upgrade!! phone's upgrade is only available for benifit friends..its not available to damage ur phones...infact upgrade is made available to make ur phone look and perform better than the previous version!!

  • which one is the best cybershot mod for xperia p???

  • Thank you friend. i made it .now everything is fine

  • You plug your phone in the pc companion and your steps will begin from there

  • It's known bug in second ICS firmware (there were two) version. By now you should get JB all around the world so install PC Companion or Sony Update Service (downloadable from Sony official pages) and go to System update section and follow the instructions. If that doesn't work you can go to xda-forum and download Flashtool and proper firmware *.ftf file and install it manually.

  • how to update to jb please answer

  • Hey my I have a big lag in calling after jb update it takes for ever to answer or to call plz help me I reset factory settings and the same keeps happening plz I need some help let me know what can I do to stop it plz lay down the steps in the way it should be this is a big problem coz thats what a phone supposed to do answer and call

  • yes i have 4.0 ICS how to upgrade to Jeally Bean

  • iam using this phone for last five months which very superb but my problem was i cant able to do any calls bcoz i dnt hav balance

  • Settings -> Xperia -> USB Connectivity -> Install PC Companion (check the box)

  • What version of Android OS you have? If it's ICS, upgrade to JB.

  • Well I have been using this fone for the last 10 months..though it never gave me any major blow, except for a couple of times, where my fone totally hanged. It didnt even switch off,until the battery got drained out completly. The main problem apart from the battery life is that, the battery cannot be opened. This is a major disadvantage. Apart from these the fone is perfect and better than its rival samsung. If any of u people experience the same problem as mine do comment.

  • Can somebody help me . wehn i open instagram for making photo it show only a part of camera but when i take the photo show it all ?????

  • i want to copy my friends Contacts to Computer.after plugging data cable to computer and mobile set there is no popup of PC Companion. what shall i do next?

  • Either GB or JB. If you buy ICS you will have to update to JB since it doesnt work properly. JB with the new update should work really good. I dont know about gaming since I dont play any games, but i think both should perform pretty good. ICS lags as hell and nothing works, just like the famous camera problem.

  • perfact but please upgrade newest version(4.2) with better battery back up.we dont required any more function and more inbuilt software on this device.only battery back up will make it more successfull in this competative market in mid range

  • I'm using this for 4 days. I'm having a problem that if I do not use it for next two hrs,when phone is on a sleeping mode my SIM is not workiby it says emeurgency calls only

I have a persistent problem on Updating its software to the latest android version Mine is Xperia P Model number LT22i,Android version 4.0.4, Build number 6.1.1.B.1.54. The problem is it cant update to 6.2.A.1.100 even after i have followed and completed all the steps including downloading a whole 398 MB sized file. How do i do?

  • If I will bye this phone today (new).....then it is on ICS or JB.....I think ICS is better for this phone......can I bye this phone with ICS version.

  • You can listen music on headphones, or integrated speaker (you can see it on pictures, on the right side, up from the PowerOn button). YouTube works both ways (in browser, and as stand alone app).

  • This phone have Jelly Bean OS, and the battery lasts the same as HTC One S.

  • this phone is good and its features is awesum and size is same as iphone 5 and if sony xperia could give a nice battery backup, expandable memory and jelly bean operating system then this phone will rock downnn the samsung smartphones

  • Sony xp, sl, s, v, tx, t, might get 4.3. Watch out for the news I a couple of weeks.

  • there is no doubt for choosing the name of it's.. It prove. the "P stands for perfect"......

  • Do you need headphones when listning to music and does youtube work on this device

  • you can just download it from here. click on this: http://205.196.122.100/352k9pzrztkg/t9vs7leb64sc­aco/Xperia-S-Cosmic-Flow-Live-Wall-1.2.A.0.6.apk­

  • Could you download and play games like pokemon black on this device

  • The phone is pretty gud when it cmes to features and performance. No doubt. No frequent lags as such. But the Greatest Disadvantage is Battery life. Its got very poor life. Frankly with 3G u may get 5hrs top and with 2G lil more than that. If net is turned off then gud 12-15hrs. that's how it is. So i prefer if u find a phone which has a better battery life but neglecting that its a really good phone.

  • Thanks a lot bro.. their phones are cheaper, so cheaper means sucks..

  • how can i get back the old xperia waves live wallpapers which we hade available in ice cream sandwich but now these are not available in jelly bean please reply if anyone have any solution because i loved those live wallpapers irfan

  • Okay, so if i do that, am i going to lose my apps, or is it going to remove the unnecessary 'things'from my phone. I am ready to follow your outlined procedures. thanks

  • There is no problem with the upgrade on sony Xperia P, i had no issue after my upgrade, except for the general battery runtime which runs out pretty fast and has good standby battery life. I strongly recommend you upgrade to 4.1.2 jellybean, some apps that worked on your previous OS may however have problems so try and update the apps too.

  • To All My Sri lankan Phone buyers. if u wannna buy new phone never buy it from TELESCIENCE Cellular Dehiwala & wellawatte.they sell poor quality phones.they are cheating to buyers.My personal experiance i bought Xperia P from them.it had lot of problems.so i returned my phone.they said they want to check wat is exact problem.in that time i had not put my sim into the phone.I asked new phone.they said cant do that. 2days later i got the same phone repaired by them.but it seemed used appear.I wasted my money.So DONT BUY ANY PHONE FROM Telescience Celluler - Wellawatta & Dehiwala.there service also very bad.

  • We cant help you much if you don't provide us with some more details. What error you get from Google Play?

  • Fast charging supposedly charge phone within 1:30 hours. I have fast charger but my average charging time (from 5%-15% to 100%) is 2:00 hours. Anyway, charger is notably faster then some others (I have HTC charger also).

  • This phone support EDGE, 3G and HSDPA communication technologies. Download speed greatly depends on the signal strength (same as any other smartphone)so download speed on weak HSDPA signal might be as slow as on EDGE with good signal. 3G/HSDPA with good signal gives you comparable download speed to average WiFi network.

  • help! i m not able to download app/games in my xperia p ... but net is working properly..all other sites can be open without any problem....

  • You are welcome and I'm looking forward..

  • Does Fast Charging work well in Xperia P ha?? users reply me ! how does it differs from other phones?????

  • If You have problem with latest fw update it doesn't mean others will have problems to, so rather then discouraging other users to do regular update, try to fix Your problem. I'm on latest firmware, and no laggings or problems, so it's obviously not related to firmware.

  • do not update, after updating iss start lagging in operation

  • This phone can be best if sony would give extending memory, nice battery backup and updated latest operating system to jellybean

  • This is the latest (and probably the last) JB update for Xperia P, and it's safe to upgrade. (I have been using it since it came out couple months ago).

  • I bought Xperia P 3 days before & any comments i got about update 6.2.A.1.100 suggest me can i update or not ? because all saying battery drainage quickly, some applications not working, & many things Kindly suggest me soonest can i update or not ?

  • Open PCC or SUS and go to Software update section, follow the procedure, and when finished (with message that your system is already up-to-date) you will get option to Repair your phone (beware, everything except \sdcard folder will be deleted).

  • Pleasehelp me, how do i repair my phone so that i may conserve the battery life, the battery is just too poor, it's unmanagable.

  • Sony Xperia P does have an update, you may update phone by sony pc companion or through the phone itself. I updated my OS on the phone.

  • battery is good, but if you're browsing, and you do facebook and other social apps, it just consumes the battery, if you consistently browse on your phone and H appears on your network, it is 3.5G,its data speed is very fast and it saps up battery more than all the applications on the phone put together. Try to limit your homescreen to two screens only, and remove timescape and any social app notifiers on homescreen, you may also use theme instead of live wallpaper, also try and manage your apps using green power battery saver or the likes.

  • yes it is, i am fully upgraded to jelly bean, i also use sony xperia P. you can update it through your phone, or sony pc compainion
