Problems in Xperia Ray after ICS update

Hey I just updated my Xperia Ray to ICS..but after the update, the calibration of the accelerometer seems to have gone haywire...Whenever i am browsing through my gallery the screen does not change its orientation automatically (auto screen orientation is enabled)..and if in some video or photo it goes into the landscape mode, it does not revert back to the potrait mode when I change orientation of the phone...Please help...
Also, there is no face unlocking feature in the update (India)..any ideas??

  • Xperia Ray after ICS 4.0.3

    Hi!
    Yesterday I connected my RAY to PC companion for some backup, and notice that the new Android version 4.0.3. was available.
    I was expecting it, since we always like to have the latest features on our phones, so I did the update to the new version.
    The update went ok! No issues during the process.
    Few hour past since the update process and I already went from a great feeling of having a "new" RAY to the terrible feeling of wishing not to made the update. I believe that this is the worst feeling that  a costumer can feel about having a new release for its great phone.
    My RAY went from a great tool to a malfunction piece of high end technology.
    So I would like to share here, some of the "after ICS" issues I'm experiencing:
    1 - RING TONE VOLUME CONTROL:
    The ring tone volume control is now terrible. I'm not able to really low the volume. The volume goes lower from the top to the mute state, but the high is really high and the low is like middle in the previous 2.3. The level after mute, that should be lower and discreet is now very audible in a moderate noisy place, so I'm just using mute + vibe. Is its really bad. I test it with Audio Manager Pro, and different sound as ring tone, but I did not get any positive result. The volume control behaviour is OK for media and alerts sounds.
    2 - WIFI:
    Wifi is now a feature that i can't get it to work. All my previous stored Wifi hotspots are now dead, even after edit each one.
    I try to store the same hotspots from a fresh search and I still can't get them to work. All the Wifi spots I have stored are working perfectly and no setting was changed, so the issue I'm getting is from the RAY.
    3- GALLERY (now XPERIA GALERIA):
    The gallery crashes very often, mostly on landscape position and during swipe trough photos. After the update, I can only see 4 to 6 photos of each album before it crashes and returns to gallery root folder or phone main menu.
    4 - MULTIMEDIA shortcuts widget:
    There is a problem with the MULTIMEDIA shortcuts widget, since it almost doubled the space it takes on the screen. Actually the visual size of this widget is just fine, the problem is the area around it that is oversized.
    5 - THE PHONE:
    Making or answering a call is now a trouble... and this is the major purpose of this equipment...
    The phone freezes very often while receiving a call and takes too long (sometimes more than 10 second) to open the phone feature. Sometimes it crashes while trying to open the phone feature and there's is the need to take battery out (since yesterday... happen twice).
    6- OVERALL
    The new android version for this model is pretty, but there are several issues to be solved. Along with the ones I believe are really serious, I'm experiencing a great decrease in phone performance. Screen animations between pages and menus are now almost imperceptible and the ones that still exist are not fluid (jumps, like a low frame rate on a video footage), moving from a page to another is now slower and jumpy and feels like I own a first generation Android phone with low tech capabilities. Scrolling is now different too. It is slower, and the acceleration is not so great like in previous 2.3
    7- MEMORY
    The available RAM is now lower than when I had 2.3... and i did not have more apps working... at least I did not start them. So he new 4.0 must gave some more processes running, I believe.
    8 - SCREEN FLASHES RED AND GREEN (added on April 27)
    RecentlyI found another "not so bad, but annoying issue".
    Sometimes, the screen flashes fully red or green for a second, during:
    Menus swipes, camera access, skype camera change (from rear to front and vice versa), when Draw something app loads, and browser opens...
    So, here is my "less than 24hours" Xperia"ence" with the ICS for RAY... Not happy with it and looking forward to see it solved, or to roll it back to 2.3.
    If there is no visible solution for this and many other issues, this will probably be my last SE phone, from a long and solid history with this brand.
    Kind regards and best wishes  to everyone.

    Hi ply17410,
    Thank you very much for your contribution!
    The RAY I own is the ST18i purchased as a standalone mobile, no carrier dependant.
    I'm using a portuguese Vodafone SIM card and these are my RAY's unit versions:
    Phone software version: 1248-9545_4.1.A.0.562,
    Boot version: 1241-3656 R9A028,
    Customization version: 1252-0929_R20D
    File system version: WORLD-i_4.1.A.0.562
    No SIM lock applied, and bootloader unlock allowed.
    The wifi issue is getting worst, right now I can only access web via 3G data connection.
    Bluetooth works fine for audio and data transfer.
    Today I found another "not so bad, but annoying issue".
    Sometimes, my screen flashes fully red or green for a second, during:
    Menus swipes, camera access, skype camera change (from rear to front and vice versa), when Draw something app loads, and browser opens...
    Kind regards,

  • Found some severe issues with my Xperia mini after ICS update

    Hi,
    I am a application and game tester from India and i am using Xperia mini for 7 months, last month i have upgraded my mini with ICS. But the update is not so good as i am facing many problems after updating. I am listing few of my problems below, i dont know this is for my set or with all:
    1. If i am forwarding any message and selects 'Add Recipient' option then the phone get stuck in the Contacts list and fails to respond the back button. Also on returning to Home screen and selecting message option after than then Contact list opens instead of Message and to rectify this issue i have to restart my mobile.
    2. For my Calenders(i have sync with Facebook) there are lots of event marked on the days but on selecting the particular dates no name is displayed just blank tabs are displayed.
    Please reply me is this the problem with all Xperia Minis(ICS)? or i am the lucky one . If this is with all then please fix the issues and make a new update available.
    Regards,
    Touseef

    Hi guys, well as a matter of facts, yes, I have a similar problem, amongst other...
    -This feature I use a lot: in GB, when i open conversation, on the top the contact`s name and phone appears, i tap on it and make the call, in ICS, when i tap on it, it opens Contact list from the begining, so i have to find the contact which i want to call. And on the end, back and menu buttons don`t work in that case (like  toseefb2 problem), so i have to press the home button....
    Maybe, just maybe this happens because i installed Skype, because, after its installation, when i wanted to send an SMS, it asked me which will the messaging app  going to be used, Skype or Messaging. I`ve chosen the Messaging and my problem appeared. Only Contacts with picture can be called, and only if i tap the picture...
    Please solve this, i don`t want to uninstall Skype, nevertheless, the phone should work regulary even with 3rd party apps.

  • No audio after ICS update.

    After ICS update, have lost audio playback. In settings, speaker has single line crossing thru it showing audio is muted. Can not unmute audio. Same for audio 'alerts'. Have rebooted and pulled battery to no avail. Ideas?

    I also have the same problem with the sound going in an out and lines through the speaker/notification etc. I called tech support and they actually told me to come on this forum and look for solutions, because the update has problems. I certainly didn't really understand that message...45 minutes waiting on hold to tell me to check the boards. Oh well. Any answers let us all know. :-)
