Hey guys,
I have noticed that Xperia S doesn't have a light sensor. but in whitepaper they say it is.
i really like to enable auto brightness control but with this i am unable to do it.
The auto brightness is working fine and it's always on,there is no option to turn it off,you need a third-party app to turn it off.

If u want to enable auto brightness just set ur brightness to about 18 percent and reboot! Then u'll notice auto brightness works!

Thanks man this worked.
I have been reading in many threads in the Xperia Sola/P/U sub forum that one should turn off auto rotation to save battery if that feature is not being used.
I used to do that. Until yesterday evening while playing Temple Run, when a doubt came to my mind.
Since auto rotation is turned off. But the guy in the TR2 picks up movement from tilting the phone also. Which means the gyroscope (on whatever device that is used to measure angular movements) must be running even after auto rotation is turned off..
So if gyroscope is still on, is there any actual battery saving?

Yes is for Turing it off disable sensors and it saves battery

By turing off auto rotation means
Screen will not rotate while in normal apps, gallery, brpwser etc
It doest mean it will completely turn ur senor off...
Games require gyroscope so it will run while playing

That will turn off sensor for screen rotation but not for games.
But if you arent playing game and you have autorot turned off you are saving battery
Ps sorry for my bad english

If Auto Rotation off disables sensors, how are games still able to sense movement.
If auto rotation off does not disable sensor, how is battery being saved?

It does disable the sensor, but when you install some apps (games in paticular that use the gyroscope and stuff) they have the permission to turn it on, but outside of that app it will be off. Very simple actually

Okay... Your explanation nailed the question.
Got my answer.

Turning off autorotate will not save your battery.
Also factor in the negligible savings from cpu not polling sensors, or processing animation for rotation.
It will NOT save your battery at all...

See my previous post. However small, a saving is a saving.

I know. Just wanted to point out that your previous post was factually incorrect. The quoted one is true tho.

Go to Settings-> Sound and then turn haptic feedback on.

And if that doesn't help then take Power Saving mode off.

I think beyond a vibrator (giggle) failure these are the two most logical options.
I have the opposite problem. My back, home and menu buttons vibrate when I touch them. How can I disable the vibration? I'm using android 4.2.1
This are my current settings.

Factory reset.
Google helped me translate.
I was wondering if there is a remedy to fix a problem I have.
When I turn the screen is not completely turned off when there is no light and you can see that the screen is turned on and so the battery is drained

I saw that in the evening when it was completely dark, I saw light coming out of the screen being suspended (a very low tone)

Go to settings/device/display if your screen timeout is set correctly i.e. 2 minutes etc. check reading mode make sure it is turned off as well.
