My dad keeps complaining about a random shutdown?
It early freaks me out as he is old and if the phone shuts down when he is out, there is no way to get in touch with him. Please, does anyone else have this issue.
I have updated the Xperia S to ICS. Stock, I got an OTA.
If this is a regular/well known issue, is there a fix?
Thanx!
Hi,
Have you tried keeping the phone with yourself for a day to see what could trigger the reboots.
Is it because of battery too low? (I know this sounds stupid...but still)
Have you checked if there is any 3rd party app which may be doing so?
Try to see if this is random or when doing some activity.
Cheers!!

But is this a known issue??

It's definitely not common behaviour. My Xperia S is stable and reliable. When it's shutting down often then it sounds like a hardware defect. I had this with a Motorola Razr last year...the phone shut down one or two times a day without anything causing it. Got a replacement and after that it worked fine.

lighting rom, but i believe this issue was said to have started before, however i could be wrong!
just grabbed my next door neighbour and did 2 way test, i walked around the block on his 7 year phone and he sounded muffled on mine - went back to my phone and he was having trouble making me out but sound clear to me - bollocks!
guess i better flash stock back again.

This is exactly what happens to me!!!
I suddenly start sounding muffled...
when my wife goes out of town...
and I go on a drinking rampage.
But then she comes back, and everything is back to normal.
Sorry OP, for makign a joke here. Yeah like others said, try factory reset and then restore factory firmware.
Some ppl claim that this happens when u r using a case cover blocking the mic for noise reduction. Try using it without and see if this solves the problem!!
Hope this helps!!

With the phone itself. It seems to be a certain location your mouth is to the mic just causes muffled sound. And the noise cancellation seems to be part of the issue, doesn't work correctly. So turning it off sometimes helps.
well i called O2, and they are swapping me a brand new one tomorrow, as i have had one month!, ordered on 25th May and called yesterday being 25th June.
they are bring me one to my house - that is service!
i did try flashing stock rom, but no difference, tested my mates and his sounds fine, pretty sure there is an issue. oh well a new one will do!
Hi guys
I'm looking at getting this phone in July when it's released in Canada. I just want to know how many people who bought the most recent phones are having problems with screens (yellowing), and the battery/reboot issues.
I love this phone but now I see all the problems it has I'm not as inclined to buy it...
Thanks,
Elliott

Can you get this thread closed by a mod and then create one exactly the same but add the option "I have no problems"?
i honestly dont have any issues with it..
Crap sorry I forgot that option...
Thanks for the replies
no problems with mine either. best phone ive had - easily.
I have the yellowing screen, but tbh, only when I searched for it, I noticed, on normal daylight outside or inside, while txting or browsing net, by watching movies or playing games, you willl NEVER notice it, unless you are looking for it. and its only when its showing darkgrey color and only when brightness is less than 50%, that was the only condition I was able to see it, any other color will NOT have this issue, and if you have combination of more colors, you have no chance to see it...
This cannot annoy me more than the fact that I will send my SGSII for repair and be without it for 2 weeks and then get it back with new display, but same issue..
Again here ... NO issues at all. Amazingly good phone!,
I have not noticed any battery or spontaneous reboots on my SGS. I bought it in early June.
Neither did I notice the yellow banding, but this does not mean that it is there.
no problems so far
I got my phone a week ago today, had no issues at all its a fantastic android, the best I have ever owned.
5 bad pixels here. No other issues.
No problems at all with the phone, best one I ever had
(and I'm now in my 50's, so I've had a lot of phones)
The unlucky people with problems are a bit like the unlucky HTC Desire owners, when it first came out many had to be returned for repair.
I dont have any of these problems. I got my phone 17th June

It's obviously not. It's not actually possible for it to use 0% of the battery and remain on. Hell - the battery would run dry if it wasn't even in the phone, given enough time, so it's never using 0% unless it's actually empty!!!
fellow canuck here using it on Fido. love it. no problems here. I never turn down my brightness below 100%, seems like a slap in the face to all the engineers who helped develop the super AMOLED+ screen
I got mine 7 days ago and it's back in it's box ready to go back! I should say I'm getting another one though.
Mine had a very poor microphone, so poor infact that when I called myself and left a voicemail, I couldn't understand it Also had a reception issue, and was generally a lemon!
NONE

Thanks for all the responses guys. Any more would be great!
Yes, I have searched the forum but only found old posts, nothing pertaining to ICS about this.
I've had this problem since 2.3, and it's kinda annoying.
When I press the unlock button it takes around 2sec for the phone to wake-up.
I thought this was supposed to be fixed in the verisons after 2.3, and now I have 4.0.3 and it's still present.
Anyone else have this problem?
Is it a Google or Samsung problem. Can it be remedied?

I have same problem with any stock or custom rom and is verry annoying.
It's normal. I use CM 9 and I'll hit the home button on my sleeping phone now...and it took around 1 second to wake up.
There isn't anything you can do about it.
As Riz said last month, would you rather your phone deep sleep & conserve battery when you're not using it & take a second to wake up or would you rather have a permanent wakelock & resultant battery drain in order to have it wake up in a few tenths of a second ?
I mean, we are talking about a second here. Not half a minute or something.
Yay! You got a new sig!
It always makes me wonder what people expect with these threads....it's like when you wake a pc up - it isn't instantaneous...and is a second really too long to wait?
Yeah I couldn't resist ;-)
Yep you're right. People do expect too much sometimes, as you said, how long does a PC take to wake up from hibernation ? Phone takes no time in comparison.

Hey guys,
Ive been using my ZU for a week now, and love it.
Only noticed one thing, sometimes when the phone is just with screen on, it will open apps and do random stuff on itself. (without touching the screen myself.)
I dont know if this is software related, or that my hardware is defective.
Anyone has any experience on this?
Kind regards,
Hoolz
Yeah, that's the so called "ghost clicking". It usually happens if you have some dirt on the screen. It was a bigger issue on pre-257 firmwares, so Sony has made thing better for most people by updating, so it's mostly a software issue.

Awesome, was scared something was wrong with the phone.
Hope the next update will resolve this issue.

My phone has been over heating. A LOT. Even with basic use. No gaming or anything. Anyone experience this? I called tech and they were no help. Told me to run in safe mode and remove my SD card..... Ya that won't work for me.
Thinking about full wipe but I dread resetting up everything.

I haven't had any issues like that. Only over heading I experienced were while using car navigation while wireless charging. You can try shopping cache plus restart to see if something is stuck, or if you have a new installation freeze that and see if things get better.
Another thing to look at is detailed battery use, see if there is any surprises. Many times the app that causes heating will also cause faster battery drain. If you can't find the app then full wipe may be needed.
Edit: one other question, did you change case recently? some cases don't transfer heat as well.
I did. A lot. Got to the point that I could take one picture and the camera would shut off because it was over heating. Hard reset didn't fix anything. I also had wireless problems (wifi would never stay off, airplane mode didn't work), and battery life was pretty poor (coming from Note 2). Replacement phone seems much better on all counts.
Thanks for the info guys. No case on the phone. Still working on rooting and playing with Xposed.... Maybe something there will help.... Or just have Verizon send a new one. I really do love this phone... So hopefully I can resolve this.... Maybe lollipop will help... If we ever get it....

I found that using settings reset is just below factory reset cleaned up my issues. It retains your programs and data.

Update
So had Verizon send me a new phone..... Have had it a day and a half and have already seen signs of over heating...... Granted it's close to 100 outside..... But I've been in the car with AC using GPS and it was getting really warm. I've had SEVERAL other phones with the same or more heavy usage with no over heating issues......
Not sure what to do. If it keeps up I'm going to have to consider a new phone....
Anyone know of any risks using the phone when it's over heating??? It's not going to explode or catch fire is it???

Same here. I can use the camera on this one but this is annoying. Might sell and go back to my trusty Note 2 that still hasn't sold anyway.
Anybody find any workarounds (besides the tin-foil inside the case thing)? I get camera shut-down after just playing around with the various modes without even recording anything. Thinking about getting an ice-pack to mount on the phone when I want to record videos......

I was having the overheat issue when I used the camera, so i downloaded the google camera app and it seems to work better.
My wife and I got refurbished phones from VZW, her's crashes to home screen now (Camera) and mine works for a few minutes longer than the old one.
Right now I am looking into getting a new phone, this one is getting annoying, want something I can get current Android version on and not a year old unpatched (Stagefright) leak that is not even Marshmallow.
