Disgusted with Sony Mobile phone support

Hi. I was thinking of getting either the Xperia M2 Aqua or the Z3 Compact. My main concerns are:
1. Asking for the Android version
The lady on the other end of the line albeit being polite says its "4.4" and that is what her "system is telling" her. This is itself is very inaccurate as there are other Kitkat versions of phones such as 4.4.1 / .2 / .3 / .4? Being on a Customer Support Line and working for Sony Mobile she should be more aware of the different versions and she should have asked a 2nd-line tech support person which she failed to do so.
2. Known camera issue with the Z3 Compact
Issues such as the overall screen & photo quality being more of the "cooler" side (with pictures seemingly less natural, less sharp, less contrast), slow camera speeds, an "overwhelming" LED flash during night shots are all well documented on very well-known websites such as GSMArena. There seem to be a not-so polished, confusing, & low-quality camera software and an update is needed. The lady kept saying that in her own experiencre she did not encounter these issues. She refused to recognise the issues i have mentioned based on what i have read & seen from this very well-known tech websites as it was pretty much useless to base my opinions on phones in stores as the phones will either be on demo mode, are turned off, software is not updated, camera is covered by the phone holder, phone not connected to a wifi or there are no media files to try out. 5 out 5 times i went to O2, Vodafone, Three and Carphone warehouse stores this has been the case. 
I have told the lady to at least make a note of my opinions, comments, complaints & suggestions and to forward it to the relevant people in Sony Mobile which she says she will be doing.
3. Lollipop timeline
The phones i have mentioned have been out for months now. Lollipop has been out since November. Google themselves said that 1. they have made a way to make sure the Lollipop SDK or API gets to the OEMs (such as Sony)  in order for updates to hapen in an early manner and 2. Google stated that they would like to see updates to the latest Android version would not exceed 6 months which in my opinion is very late. The time a new Android version comes out there should be a "limit"of 3-4 months to update current-gen, flasgship phones and 6 months for the mid-range ones. So with those facts in front of us...why still no Lollipop timeline update?
The bottom line is your profits are slowing down and Sony is cutting on jobs. For people to like Sony phones again you must take in these opinions, comments, complaints & suggestions from us users, incorporate them on current & future software and hardware products coupled with timely and early and "as often" software updates then this would be a better world. I have had Android phones for the past 4 years and although not having a computer degree i think i know pretty much how phones work, etc.
Dear Sony...IMPROVE your customer service over phone (include a chat service please), LISTEN  to end-user complaints & suggestions, UPDATE in a realistic/timely/early manner and BE UP TO DATE to market and consumer trends. 
SORT YOURSELEVES OUT!

I have noticed two known bugs & issues in my Xperia Z2:
1. Alam Clock
This alam clock bug appeared in my Z1 weeks ago and my current Moto G (4G) phone. When my phone is on Silent mode I set the alam clock to ring even on silent. When the alarm goes off in the morning its either i don't see a slider to cancel the alarm or it rings but i have to go to the alam clock settings and go to delete alams and the alarm stops which is 2-3 steps more than the slider. I had to resort to a 3rd-party alarm clock which helps but prefer the 1st-party one. Can anyone explain this?
2. Charging
This issue again is not confined to the Z2 but also to my Moto G and my Nexus 5 which i had weeks ago. Charging the phone, regardsless of how many percent left is on the battery, it causes the screen to go "haywire". What i mean is the screen is almost unusable to the point that multiple tasks are being done at the same time i.e. opening Messages, pulling down the Notification panel, going to Album, etc. I have seen videos on Youtube and i'm not sure if Sony is aware of this. Any advice?
3. Performance
I cannot fault the performance of the Z2. But i'm not the type who do benchmarking tests, etc. I still find sometimes some lag and is a tad slower than my Nexus 5 which has a slightly the same specs. I have speeded up the animations speed under Developer Options but i don't know what else to do.
I also do not believe that by resetting the phone these so-called bugs will go away as this seem to be a "default" advice whenever you ring customer support. I have reset the phone twice and they are still there.
Please advice & help. Thanks.

  • In future Iphone4 will support video chatting with other Mobile phone

    Hi ,
    Whether iphone4 will allow video chatting with other Mobile phones like Nokia,Samsung,etc..,in future kindly clarify

    Apple already announced, as an earlier poster stated, that they have made the FaceTime spec/protocol available to anyone who wants to use it. Apple doesn't have to do anything.

    Yes another user with problem with Apple Mobile Device Support, I am getting the error message: Service 'Apple Mobile Device'(Apple Mobile Device) failed to start. Vertify that you have sufficient privileges to start system service....I hit retry and it came up again. I hit ignore and it prompted me to hit finish so Itunes can open.   I looked thru alot of these posts on here to try and resolve this problem myself but it's not working too well...I downloaded Itunes to my desktop so I can right click it with the program i downloaded called WinRAR. I extracted it and then went into the folder called Itunes64setup. I saw the file called AppleMobileDeviceSupport64 in there so I began to try and download it on it's own. Well that didn't work as I planned and got this error message:
    Apple Mobile Device Support wasn't installed on your computer. The installer encountered errors before Apple Mobile Device Support could be configured. Your system has not been modified. To retry these operations at a later time,please run the installer again.
    Well I tried to run it again and came up with the same message...I see that some people got great support to help them so I am hoping someone can help me as well. I know "b nor" is very qualfied and hopefully can help me! Please advise what I can do. Thank you

  • Connect Bluetooth with Samsung mobile phone headset?

    I'm making a movie in Garageband and using the iMac internal speaker for recording my voice. I have a Samsung Bluetooth device I use with my mobile phone and I thought the sound would be better. I can't seem to get it to connect with my Mac. I have bluetooth sharing on, but when I go to the bluetooth set-up window, it doesn't recognize it. Am I doing something wrong, or is it incompatible?
    Thanks for any help, I'm trying to avoid buying a new mic.

    Have you tried pairing using the Bluetooth icon in the system tray?
    Also make sure your Bluetooth drivers are up to date: http://mobilesupport.lenovo.com/be/nl/products/laptops-and-netbooks/lenovo-g-series-laptops/lenovo-g...

  • As of 2010, what mobile phones support JavaFX?

    Hi guys! I'm going to deploy a javafx application on a mobile phone soon for my project.
    Currently, as of March 16,2010, what mobile phones support JavaFX?
    Aside from Java's official recommendations:
    LG Incite, HTC Touch Diamond
    Any information is deeply appreciated. I would love to hear from those who actually deployed their JavaFX apps on the mobile phones they will suggest here.
    Note: I've searched the threads in this forum and google and most of them are outdated - posts from early last year.
    Hope to see some comments real soon! :) Thanks in advance!

    Hi tsubaki,
    The official JavaFX Mobile developer device is the HTC Diamond, however unofficially since the JavaFX Mobile developer stack is a Windows Mobile executable, you can unofficially (since it's not supported) run it on any Windows Mobile 6.x device. I've been running JavaFX Mobile 1.2 for Windows Mobile (http://javafx.com/downloads/windows.jsp) on an HTC HD2 device and have been getting some nice results. But, remember if you run on any device that is not the HTC Diamond, we cannot guarantee any level of support for it.
    Thanks,
    Hinkmond

  • Sony mobile warranty support feedback

    I need to share with you that recently my phone went back from warranty repair.
    And I need to say I can see a huge upgrade in terms of the service and customer support. 
    Everything went well and the most important - very fast!
    As I remember from the past it was about a month or even 2 before my phone went back in the past (first Z model). 
    Now it was like 1 week + everything was fixed! 
    Incredible upgrade.
    Thank you Sony service center Poland in Wroclaw. 
    I can see Sony is doing much better in terms of software (except timing here, but quality is better) and service support. 
    Even first Z is receiving Android 5. Z series is receiving overall a good treatment, well deserved.   
    For sure I will stick with this brand because of it, can't wait for new curved camera  
    Once again, thanks a lot Sony mobile.  

    Glad to hear it, I wish you luck for the future

  • Using Address Book with 2 mobile phones

    Since a few weeks I have a second mobile phone that I also use with iSync for contact and calendar synchronisation. The problem was that Address Book could only pair with / connect to the newly added phone, not the 'old phone' anymore.
    I found some old threads with the same problem stated, but no answers were given. I did find a fix for it though. I used the application Pref Setter to clear the preferences of Address Book (you can also delete the file located at: /library/preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist). Restart Address Book and the bleutooth mobile phone entry is now empty again. You will be able to choose a phone to pair with.
    However, if anyone knows how to use 2 phones simultaniously, please tell me!
    Powerbook 12"   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    You can't use Address Book with more than one phone at the same time unfortunately, it simply does not have this functionality.
    I developed a little application called "Reset Address Book Pairing" which does exactly that without deleting (and therefore losing) your Address Book preferences. Just one setting in the prefs actually needs changing.
    It's included with the Sony Ericsson Address Book Enabler, which adds Call & SMS support for over 40 new Sony Ericsson phones to the Mac Address Book.

  • Why can't i pair my i-phone 4s with other mobile phones?

    Why can't i pair or connect to other mobile phones with my i-phone 4s?

    Because that is not a feature of the iPhone.
    See the supported Bluetooth profiles here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3647
    If you let us know why you want to pair your iPhone with other phones, we can probably suggest alternative methods of doing what you want.

  • Sync with Samsung mobile phones

    Hi. My account name is Lambo.
    I have iMac. But too I have Samsung X700 mobile phone. This summer I will bought Samsung i750. But I have one problem. I cannot connect my phone with my Mac. I respect all Apple Inc. I know that you are very happy because you will have your iPhone. But you must to undersantd that we have not iPhone and we want to connect our phones with Mac. Please help me. If somebody have some ideas write me please.

    Most Samsung phones are not compatible with iSync, not because of Apple, but because Samsung have not bothered to implement the industry standard SyncML protocol in most of their phones.
    Currently there are two Samsung phones which are compatible with iSync natively, plus a few more via plugins.
    Before buying a phone you should always check out Apple iSync Supported Devices page, or a third-party plugin provider such as Feisar or Novamedia, if syncing is important to you.

  • Errors with Apple Mobile Device Support- won't install!

    I've been grappling with getting iTunes 9 to recognize my iPhone for a month now (BUT iPod mini is syncing fine.) After multiple troubleshooting efforts with this forum, Apple Support articles, and actual Apple employees, I finally realized the error is with AMDS. In the times I've tried reinstalling iTunes, everything except AMDS was fine. For AMDS, it would always say "Rolling back action".
    So I decided to extract the iTunes setup file, access AMDS.msi and repair/reinstall. Didn't work because it rolled back again. Took more tips reading other threads by uninstalling, rebooting, and installing AMDS, but STILL rolling back. I even renamed the Apple file (ProgramFiles/CommonFiles/Apple I believe) and it's still rolling back! I have no idea why.
    Plus in my Common Files I have multiple Apple files. There's Apple, Apple(2) and Apple(5). I tried renaming all of those and still get the rolling back and error message from AMDS. Any ideas?

    Okay ... so it's not (or at least, vastly less likely to be) shonky AMDS installation configuration information that we're dealing with here.
    Right ... let's try making some forward progress again. (Best to print out a copy of the instructions ... you won't be able to use a browser at one point in proceedings.)
    First, navigate to the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\ folder. If it is present, delete the *Mobile Device Support* folder.
    Now, uninstall your iTunes.
    Now, download and save a copy of the iTunes installer to your hard drive. (Don't run the install on line, and don't install from the downloaded file just yet.)
    Reboot the PC. Don't open any applications. Disconnect from your network and/or the internet. Disable your Security Software (antivirus, firewall, antispyware).
    Now start the iTunes install by doubleclicking the iTunesSetup.exe you downloaded earlier.
    After the install attempt, you can reenable your Security software and then reconnect to the internet.
    ... Any better luck with that install attempt?

  • T61p back from depot after 1 month with same problems, phone support no help

    I ordered this on Feb 8. My CC was billed March 5th which is around when I physically got it. I basically troubleshooted it until the end of the month before calling to get it sent for repairs. Got the box for the depot on April 3 and sent it the same day. Got the laptop back just on Monday May 12. Now it still doesn't work, and I'm wondering what the heck to do.
    Problems with the T61p:
    1. Cardbus non functional; The pci/cardbus bridge is detected fine and drivers not a problem. The system doesn't detect any card inserted in the T61p. I have a $100 firewire 800 card I've used without problems in many laptops (I can test in one right now), but this T61p doesn't see it at all. This is not a driver issue for any particular card, but the fact that windows doesn't detect any new hardware when a card is inserted.
    Sent to the depot at the beginning of April and I got it back this Monday. They replaced the mainboard and pcmcia slot (as it says on the slip included). Still having the exact same problem.
    2. Completely unstable with a 1394b expresscard; Since I cannot get the cardbus slot to work, my only option is an expresscard. I am using a studio quality sound interface, Fireface 800 from RME. This is a great piece of hardware that works flawlessly on my 5 year old AMD box. However, on the T61p if I playback audio through it, connected via a SIIG firewire 800 expresscard (high quality, and one of the _only_ 1394b expresscards out there) the system completely locks up in a matter of minutes.
    The main reason for this laptop purchase was for music production with the RME Fireface. It is 100% the T61p causing the problem, not power management issues, driver issues, the SIIG card, or physical connections, etc. You can see my thread at RME from March when I was trying to figure this out:
    http://rme-audio.de/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=11332
    I haven't had a full month of use of this thing. I would very much just like a return at this point. I don't want to wait another month for a depot repair, seeing as the last one didn't resolve anything. If I could get a fully working model of this T61p that would be great, but I see this 14.1" SXGA+ isn't even offered anymore.
    Talking to support is horrible. Last I talked to someone who was technically clueless, saying he would do research and call me back. I call back the next day and there isn't even a record of me talking to anyone...
    Anyone have any advice? I'm coming to the forums because I'm just stuck here with a laptop I can't use, and don't know what to do with...
    EDIT/update:
    I managed to get this number finally (1-866-968-4465) and talked to someone who seemed to actually care. So I've gotten somewhere, I guess the forum post doesn't help much. I'll update the result anyway...

    Mine is the siig NN-EC2812-S1 2-port FireWire 800 ExpressCard/54 and the carbus card is a StarTech.com CB1394B3
    Where do you read about chipset compatability probs with siig cards? What would be a better card?
    Edit:
    I could get one of these within a day or so:
    belkin F5U514 $98 CAN
    startech EC1394B2 $119 CAN
    sonnet FW800-E34 $98 CAN
    Know which would be better to try?
