[After ICS upgrade] Sony Tablet S Issues & Suggestions/Workarounds - Sony Tablet S

Issues After ICS Upgrade
As of now I can see these issues after ICS upgrade:
1. WiFi Issue [CONFIRM ISSUE]
2. Few applications opening Up-Side Down [GENERIC ISSUE WITH ALL TABs]
WORK-AROUND:
I have installed ORIENTATION CONTROL, it solved my problem, now I can play games on my Sony Tablet in desired Reverse Portrait Mode.

3. Creaking Voice coming from the tablet's back casing, its serious hardware issue, can't accept such CHEAP quality at such HIGH rates. [CONFIRM ISSUE]
4. Screen is Flickering. [CONFIRM ISSUE]
PLEASE CONFIRM IF THESE ARE REAL ISSUES or JUST FEW UNITS HAVE THESE ISSUES
I will go through the thread and confirm if any of them is actually an issue, let me know if I am wrong..

Add to it the stock browser and dolphin closes suddenly!

---

I can confirm the Wi-Fi is an issue, it seems to disconnect if not in use for some time but also seems to try to reconnect when its suppose to sync with an online system.
I have yet to have any issues with my tablet Auto Dimming on me.
My Browser has crashed a few times but normally when I am running multiple Apps and normally a few other apps crash at the same time. The Social feed app from Sony seem to always be crashing on me now.

---

Is there a fix for the SD Card?
Can the gallery/music read data on the SD card? I don't want to use a file manager.

---

SOCIAL feed app constantly closing for me aswell

---

I can't. Say I have experienced any of these issues. The only issue I get is that every time I reboot I get a database update eroor for the sony music player and no music appears until about an hour later, despite it being in the native android music player.

I was having the wifi issue then found that by default it's set to turn off when you turn the screen off. Changed that to leave wifi on and now it's fine.
Also i've had no browser issues

---

Ditto with the social reader error even if not using it, also get a database error occasionally no idea what is causing that but nothing noticable seems to stop/crash.

---

I get force close when opening Crackle.
I initially had wifi dropping in stand by mode. I then upgrade to an N router and the problem seems to be solved. Although I dont think upgrading your router should be a solution. Mine was upgraded for other reasons.

---

Im looking to find if I can uninstall social feed but nothing, yes it crash.
Autodim only affect me in a well lit room, exclude in the entire house.
I dont get browser crash often. But it hzppensx, no more now that I have dolphin hd
No wi fi issue tho,

My guess is that multiple instances of the scan are occurring, it detects the second is a duplicate and pops up with the error on the screen. Meanwhile the original is running in the background, that is why eventually the App shows the music.

Seems like that would cause noticeable lag on the device.

hi, so is there a fix to this?
Also.....what else can I use to view photographs besides gallery

---

Yeah, I have the Social Feed force close happen quite a few times. It seems to happen when I try to open it, and it's pretty random. I also have the disappearing browser occur every so often. Other than that, I have not noticed any other major issues.

---

Hmm went in and cleared data on social reader/force stopped it, restarted it and redid my accounts and *so* far no random force closes. Guess Ill see how it holds up and whether that actually fixed it.
