So frustrated with sony!

Its my first time using a sony product, and i didnt to encounter such trouble.
Previously I had posted on the forum that there is no data or network when I went to some places its not the wall paint fault or sth fyi its the phone's problem as i had used samsung and apple but there is no problem, with the connectivity when i was using. I went to sent it for repair on the 3rd of june, 6 days ago!
They gave me a spare phone to use with was basically useless as it does not have the applications that i am using on my current smart phone for work. I would prefer sony to give consummers a smart phone in the replacement phone as we are sending in smartphone to get it repaired and what is the point of loaning outdated phone which cant even download any applications? 
I was told they would get back to me and have my phone repaired within 5 days and I already specifiy that i need it for work and these few days working is such a chore. i could only stay updated if i have a laptop.(i dont have other phones, i sold them expecting to rely on the z2 but too bad for me, using only for a week, it became faulty)
The staff even told me if they cant fix it, they would have to change the whole motherboard?!! Hello! Its only 1 week old and u want to change the motherboard, I would expect a 1 for 1 exchange in its place would be better!
Its already the 6th day and i cant believe sony is so irresponsible with their words, even told me i confirm would get it back within 5 days..
 and btw sony contact number cant even be called thru, either that or you will be put on hold for a long, long time.
>=( A Very dissapointed and frustrated consummer.

Update today. Still have not received any updates and so i called myself to check they did not even start to repair my phone yet as they dont have any parts from the supplier. Sooooo frustrated and very angry why no one even inform and if dont have spare parts why even bother to take in the phone to repair?!! wasting everyone time!

  • My Experience with Sony Xperia Tablet S (so far)

    For the Sony Xperia Tablet S, the bootloader is still locked, so getting an official install of Android is still impossible.  I've decided to root it and clean it up as much as possible.  At this point, It's either that or take it skeet shooting. 
    After rooting the tablet, I have managed to clean some of the junkware up manually.  It's not the solution to the problem (only Sony or a judge can right their wrong), but getting rid of this junk seemed to help to some extent.  Here is a list of all the apks that I manually deleted (season to taste).
    Obvious disclaimer, here:  If you brick your device, it's your fault and not mine.  One thing that you COULD do though, is encourage Sony to up their morals and do the right thing by giving us the capability of unlocking our bootloaders.  Selling people locked down hardware without the ability to unlock it is like selling someone a house and then telling them after the fact that they cannot clean the junk out of it, or modify it, or paint it, or fix the plumming, or replace the carpet, or even use the front door...  I think you get the idea.  It's a morally corrupt thing to do, IMO, and I think that Sony should be ashamed of themselves for locking us out of our own property.
    I'm not nearly finished cleaning the tablet up yet (I'm going to take a break and get some reading in, but will focus on the system files next).  At a minimum, this list can serve as a big chunk of useless fat that people can lipo out of their tablets if they so desire.

    There are probably a few files that I removed and did not mention, but there won't be many.  I didin't actually start keeping a log of the removals until later in the game, although I recorded as much as I could from my terminal buffer to make the list as complete as possible.
    Obviously, if you're going to delete files, I strongly suggest that you keep a log AND make sure you have multiple types of backups (and backups to those backups).  I actually had to rely on my backups on multiple occasions while coming up with this list.  Again (as in "service not rendered"), we need our bootloaders unlocked so we can actually own the hardware that we have purchased.
    Launcher and keyboard:
    ======================
    The launcher and keyboard that come with the Xperia Tab S ******.  On my system, I have replaced them both with the Nova Launcher and the Hacker's Keyboard, resulting in much (much, Much) better functionality and useability! And once those defaults were set, I removed the launcher and keyboard that came with the tablet as well.
    Boot Animation:
    ===============
    As far as the boot animation is concerned, that's easily changed as well.  Nothing new here (Google it):
      # find -type f -name bootanimation.zip -exec ls {} \; -exec ls -la {} \;
      ./system/media/bootanimation.zip
      -rw-r--r-- root     root       242855 2013-05-19 02:44 bootanimation.zip
    Something I need to figure out for my next steps:
    =================================================
    Can I simply build a stock Android system, take stock apks from that build and put it on the Xperia (replace) without any issues?
    Can I swap them out whole-sale, or are there any caveats in regards to how far can I go with that?
    Any advice of how to further improve this would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    These are the issues as I see it:
    The Software:
    Initially, when I complained about not being able to remove unwanted software, this is what I got:
     *  "You can disable it in the settings and you won't see the icons."
     *  "You can root the device and remove the unwanted software, but if you do, then we won't honor the warranty"
    We'll look at the logic of these, but first, let's inject a simple analogy -- something I think most people will be able to relate to with ease.  Let's say that I buy a house, and I like the house a lot, but there is a toilet in the middle of the living room (I like social stuff that much ).  So after I purchase the house, I find out that I cannot remove the toilet in the living room because I don't have the "special tools" to do it.  In addition, this toilet has a bit of a valve problem, and it runs constantly.
    The first supposed solution was "You can disable it in the settings and you won't see the icons."  That's like saying "throw a sheet over it."  In this case, disabling it doesn't even mean turning off the water.  There's still pipework being used, because cache supporting those apps still keep coming back.  So the toilet keeps running, and it gets to the point that it annoys the ****** out of me.  Throwing a sheet over the toilet does not fix the problem, nor does it remove the offense from my living room.  Not only is this NOT a solution, it's a horrible idea!
    The second supposed solution was "You can root the device and remove the offending software, but if you do, then we won't honor the warranty."  I'm not big on warranties, and over the years I've discovered that most companies give me so much hassle and additional cost over getting something replaced or repaired, that I'm better off getting another product (usually from another vendor).  I personally wouldn't expect Sony to be any different in that regard.  That said, I don't care about warranties.  Furthermore I don't expect Sony to truly honor a warranty any more than I would expect a previous owner of my house to fix my leaking roof.  
    In my house, I don't want toilets in my living room.  I realize that there may be a lot of people out there who might find this to be of great use and value, but for me, it is offensive just knowing that it is there.  More offensive to me, is that I'm told I can not (or even "should not") remove it.  But even worse is, "throw a sheet over it."  To me, that's right up there with "We don't care so shut up."
    So, left with no other choice, I rooted the tablet and took the (most obvious) toilets out of the places where I felt that they did not belong.  I don't expect help or tech support from Sony, either and if "throw a sheet over it" is any indication of the help that I might get, then trust me when I say that I don't WANT any help from them.
    But that's not even the crux of my frustrations with this whole thing.  It's just a side-show.
    The Hardware:
    Lets get something straight - When I buy a piece of property (whether it be a computer, a motor vehicle or a house), I expect to be able to enter that property in any way that suits me (and the way by which entry was intended is no exception by anyone's reasonable expectation).  Furthermore, if that piece of property has the ability to be locked, I fully expect to have the relevant keys, so that I might lock and unlock it on my own and at my own discretion.
    With this tablet that I have bought, and therefore I own, I expect to be able to use the front door (the boot loader).  It is my property, I hold the bill of sale (the "deed"), and I cannot see how Sony has any moral, ethical, or legal standing to withhold those keys from me, thereby preventing me from entering my own property in a forthright manner.
    So far, I've read the following excuses on this forum:
    "We do it for your security"
    As in "Sony is my savior?"  Hmm.  Does this mean that if a Sony customer has an unrooted and locked-by-Sony Xperia Tablet S that gets hacked, and their bank account goes dry and their identity is stolen as a result, that Sony will take the responsibility for it, reimburse that customer, and pay any costs to get that persons identity cleared?  Of course not.  The term "Responsibility" is a two-edged sword, and it cuts both ways.  As such, this excuse of taking responsibility of my security reads more like this: "For your security, we will control your house, but if you get compromised, you're stuck holding the bag, because we're not responsible."  If that doesn't defy logic, then I don't know what does!  This isn't an excuse for security.  Instead, it's a lame excuse for control, which provides no safety net.  I personally don't want someone who will not be responsible, taking on the role of being responsible for my security.  I would much rather be responsible for my own security, thank you very much.  
    CAVEAT:  I do understand that there are people out there who have no concept of security whatsoever and who do really dumb things, so the use of a snake-oil security solution can be beneficial (perhaps to the extent that it will "keep the honest people honest"), but my point is that it's still snake-oil, and it's benefits are far too limited for my taste.
    So no, I don't want Sony's snake-oil security solution.  I want what is rightfully mine.  I want to hold the keys to the device that I have purchased.  I want the ability to lock and unlock my own front door at my own discretion, and if possible I want to change the key set so that once I take control of my own device, Sony can't unlock that door while I'm not home.  (there's an interesting idea, eh? ).
    The other reason I've now heard is that "We do it to protect our proprietary software"
    I would love to have a link or a scan of any document from Sony that actually states this.  
    If that is truly their position, then my response would then be, "Does this mean you do it so that I can't get rid of those toilets in my living room?  I won't want them in my living room, I don't want them in my bedroom, I don't want them in my kitchen, on my front porch, or in my den.  I don't want your software in my house, and being that this is MY house (as in "I hold the deed"), I'm ordering you not only to get the ****** out, but give me MY keys to MY front door!  This house is under renovation!
    On getting a refund:
    If getting a refund is what Zero wanted, then congratulations to him.  If a refund is what you want, then good luck.  Do you think Sony will reimburse you for the time you've wasted with it as well?  Just a thought.
    I'm personally not interested in a refund.  I simply want what is rightfully mine.
    In fact, if this doesn't get resolved (or the tablet bricks in the process) maybe I'll take it skeet shooting and upload the video.  It will at least be entertaining, and the upside to it would be that it couldn't be refurbished and imposed on yet another vict...  er...  I mean customer. 
    Final thoughts:
    In the end, if Sony will not honor their sales by actually relinquishing the ownership of the hardware that they sell to the person holding the bill of sale, then at the very LEAST, they should start placing on their products warnings labels for future potential customers, enabling them to understand what they are actually buying, and what they are actually NOT buying -- Some type of "Brooklyn-Bridge" or "Bully" Buyer-beware warning should suffice, I think.  If they do not do this, then I can definitely foresee customers being forced to go before a judge in order to actually take ownership of the property that they have purchased -- and that CAN'T be good for business.  (Just sayin')

  • If Apple is so full of geniuses, why can't they come up with a usb cable to connect the iPad to a printer? This would seem like the most intelligent first choice for those of us who are absolutely frustrated with iPad printing functionality.

    My sister has an iPad and an HP printer. She cant' print from her iPad even though a genius at the Apple Store sold the combination to her with the idea that it would be easy to do. Instead, I have to go to her place with my MacBook, she sends me an email, and I hook up my laptop to her printer to print what she needs. Why can't the Apple geniuses come up with a USB cable and an OS update to make it easy and NOT SO FRUSTRATING to print from the iPad?
    I've been a Mac user for fifteen years but I could not, in good conscience, recommend an iPad to anyone until Apple considers that ease of use does not include regularly getting frustrated with the easiest of tasks.

    all printers speak a diffrent "computer language" for a device to understand this language
    a driver is required
    some devices such a computers come with drivers for a long line of printers and other devices
    apple decided that it was better not to include that huge list of drivers as users would then not have
    much storage left for media and apps
    then apple let printer makers make apps for printing in app store and make printers support airprint

  • How to import and edit a 3D video made with Sony HDR-TD10E camcorder, with .MVC file?

    How to import and edit a 3D video made with Sony HDR-TD10E camcorder, with .MVC file?
    I have PremierePro-CS5 installed.
    This stereo 3D camcorder (Sony HDR-TD10E), output an .MVC (MultiViewCoding) file, coded in H.264 format.
    This format is already compatible with Bluray3D stereoscopic format.
    1) But, how to edit the .MVC in Premiere?
    2) What plugin should I use (if exists) for PremiereProCS5?
    3) Cineform Neo3D, can manage the .MVC format? Can convert it to Cineform format file, for import it into Premiere?
    4) What software should I use to convert an .MVC video to an AVCHD H.264 file, and import it into PremierePro CS5 or CS5.5 for editing?
    Thanks!
    Horsepower0171.

    Sorry, I am Italian, it is very difficult for me to understand what he says!
    I can just read the english text, or follow the actions of a videotutorial!
    Thus my question is the same:
    -What software can do that?
    -Sony Vegas 10 do the Bluray3D authoring?
    -For MVC editing, should I wait for Adobe CS6? Or is it planned an update for CS5.5?

  • The newest version of iTunes is awful when it comes to Cloud syncing-file management. I'm constantly frustrated with what iTunes 'chooses to eliminate from my mobile device and settings aren't fine-grained enough to allow for real user control.

    I'm endlessly frustrated with iTunes Cloud syncing, something that was supposed to make lenjoying my music easier. I routinely find that, though itunes and podcasts have been split, iTunes arbitrairily removes music files or in progress podcast in favor of 'new' podcasts. The settings are just not fine-grained enough to allow true user control and so we are instead subjected to 'Apple knows best' protocols. I understand and appreciate the level of exacting control Apple excercises over their ecosystem, however, more and more often I see them tightening control over things that should be user control while dropping the ball on aesthetic desisions made in producing their own software (see the hideous pull down tab for iTunes to access Podcast, TV shows, Music, etc.
    I would like to see features like those in Mail and the Podcasting apps implemented in iTunes afor the management of content on mobile devices, for instance it would be great to swipe to delete files that you know longer want on your device, at both the album and song level. Another issues is the new pushiness of iRadio and iTunes Store, the app now seems to default to the iRadio page (versus the last page Albums, songs, etc. that the user was navigating, or in the instance of the iTunes Store push, if I doon't have all the tracks of an album i own on my mobile device 'complete my album' takes you to iTunes store rather than showing the 'cloud' download icon next to missing tracks. These are the tactics I expect from Google, not Apple (pushing commerce over quality user experience).
    Fix these things Apple, please.

  • IPod touch not working with Sony clock radio.

    iPod 4th gen won't play music through new Sony clock radio.  It charges but won't play or control music.  Works with 2 iPhones tested but not touch.  Yes I am using the correct adapters, universal for iPod and the different ones for phones. 

    Does Sony say it will work with yur model iPod and iOS?
    Do the phones have the same iOS?
    Is the iPod fully seated in the dock?
    Does the iPod sync and charge OK?
    - Inspect the dock connector for bend or missing contacts, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    Sometimes this works
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:       
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    Other uses have reported problems with Sony docks. Use the communities search feature in the upper right and search for Sony. Use the advance search to restrict search to the iPod touch forum

    ipod touch 4g has stopped docking with sony stereo cmt-bx70dbi

    It appears that the update made the iPd incompatible with the Sony dock.  Try contacting Sony.  Downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple.

  • [SOLVED] ACPI power issues with Sony Vaio Pro 13

    tl;dr backstory:
    Sony VAIO Pro 13 (SVP13215CDB) laptop was working great (Win 8.1).
    Installed Win10 Tech Preview. A week later, it started going to sleep randomly and on certain key-presses (perhaps after performing Sony Vaio Software updates. I'm not 100% sure). I wiped all partitions installing Win7 in legacy mode. It still went to sleep randomly.
    I restored to factory default Win8.1 with Sony Vaio software up-to-date. It still went to sleep randomly.
    Took it to an electronics repair shop, to see if they could fix it, and they said it can't be fixed in any way without replacing motherboard, but that's basically a new laptop.
    So I turned to Arch Linux.
    I have completed the basic install from the Wiki, and it no longer sleeps/shuts down randomly, but it will gracefully shutdown when certain events/keypresses occur.
    I installed acpid and used "acpi_listen >> acpi.log" to determine what causes the system to perform a graceful shutdown. Here is the result of acpi.log (each line was a shutdown event):
    button/power PBTN 00000080 00000000 # Unplugged power adapter.
    button/power PBTN 00000080 00000000 # Running on battery and idle. Perhaps battery percent update caused this?
    button/power PBTN 00000080 00000000 # Plugged in power adapter.
    button/power PBTN 00000080 00000000 # Fn-F1 Touchpad Disable
    button/power PBTN 00000080 00000000 # Fn-F5 Brightness Down
    button/power PBTN 00000080 00000000 # Fn-F6 Brightness Up
    button/power PBTN 00000080 00000000 # Fn-F7 LCD/External Display
    button/power PBTN 00000080 00000000 # Fn-1 (Weird. It has no extra function).
    As you can see, they all seem to trigger the same shutdown event.
    I have seen on other posts that these ACPI signals can be disabled or assigned to other commands, which would be an acceptable workaround if it stops my laptop from erroneously shutting down. Is this doable?
    Also, I was not able to reflash the Sony VAIO firmware when using Windows, as Sony's package software is amazing wouldn't allow flashing an equal or lesser firmware version. Perhaps there is a way in Arch to force a reflash if I can get my hands on the firmware blob?
    Thanks .

    linux /boot/vmlinuz-linux root=UUID=<UUID here> rw quiet acpi=off
    Like this?
    I did that, and it disabled my laptop keyboard entirely. In doing so, it disables the key-presses that would normally shutdown the laptop, including the power button. So the only way to shut it down is a hard shutdown via long-press of the power button. Thanks, though.
    Update: Issue Solved. I will update post tonight. Flashing the BIOS again resolved the ACPI issues.

    I've become increasingly frustrated with the ipad adobe app. I've subscribed to be able to convert my pdf files into word documents and it has yet to work I've paid for a service that does not work which in turn makes me a disgruntled customer to say the least very disappointed with such horrible service

    Which service did you subscribe to?  Adobe PDF Pack?
    Once I know the service that you subscribed to, I can move this post to the right forum so that you can get in touch with the folks who can assist you.

  • I'm frustrated with the bookmarks. I so long to be able to right click on any bookmark and choose to have them in alphabet order. Would also like for the little icons to go away. Never been able to figure out how to do this the MAC way. Help.

    I am frustrated with the Bookmarks. I want so much to be able to right click and alphabetize the list. It's been a year and I can get my mind around the process that's there. Also I'd love for those pesky little icons to disappear. Help me please.

    After the release of Firefox 29, several people noticed that after using the Customize feature, most items on the right-click menu for the Bookmarks menu on the menu bar became ''grayed out'' and unusable until you closed and started Firefox back up again. That seems to still be a problem for me in Firefox 36.0.4, so if you used Customize, that could be the explanation.
    You still should be able to click and drag bookmarks around the menu even with the broken right-click context menu.
    And if it's easier than restarting, the context menu still works in the Bookmarks Sidebar (Ctrl+b to open/close) and Library dialog (Ctrl+Shift+b or "Show All Bookmarks").

  • Frustrated with lack of help!

    I up graded my phone to an iphone 5c.  I received it yesterday and call the 800# to activate my phone.  During the phone call I was transferred to customer service because my phone was unable to activated.  I was on hold for 30 mins and the customer service rep told me there was nothing she could do manually I would have to call the 800#.  I did this 3 times, each time told the same thing!   Finally the 4th time I told the rep I needed to speak to a manager and he informed me the manager wasn't available and to call tech support.  So my 5th phone call to Verizon I spoke to a girl in tech support who was able to tell why my phone wasn't unable to be activated.  the SIM card that was preinstalled was never registered and I would have to go to a Verizon store to get one.  Here's my problem again, I leave in a rural western pa.  I called my local store and they told me I would have to buy a SIM card because they are not a corporate store!  The closets corporate store is 1 hour away.  I am so frustrated with verizons lack of system checks that I just want to send the phone back!!  I have never had this many problems with Verizon and I have been a customer for 15 years.

    Verizon can mail you a Sim for free. No travel time to a corporate store.

    In their community help forum the not being able to activate is listed there as well as the fix.
    Good Luck

  • My story with Sony

    My story with Sony In 2011 I saw the announcement in a YouTube for Mobile Xperia Active and Sony Ericsson, but has created the company before you buy Sony Ericsson Mobile was a great experience in terms of strength and durability and scratching the man in the video is trying to wound mobile screen with a knife and a scalpel and hammer beat hard and do not get anything for this giant Frankly, I've very surprised with this section, especially when placed under the jeep and walked it is not affected by never I went immediately and bought this mobile (I liked very much) and I've tried it myself was its name And put it in the water - I threw it at an altitude of two meters - tried to scratch the screen with the key - not Ihs him something, and I still was acquired this magnificent giant of Sony Ericsson even touch its very fast and is better than touching iPhone And started my journey with Sony and not Sony Ericsson I bought the Sony Xperia S, but unfortunately many disadvantages, his voice low, always attached, I always re-run in order to work properly again, I remember when I worked him updated to the new version of Android Wi-Fi no longer works, and eventually sold it Then I bought the Xperia Acro S and the same problems then I bought the Xperia ion is also the same problem Then roasting much, why this failure of Sony, although I love the Sony lot Then Wright video about Xperia Z and liked it so much, but a low voice - and injure its screen - and not against shocks As Sony said, finally bought a week ago Xperia Z-1 is also the same problem. I do not want to change to another company because I want from Sony that does not apply to retract, Is it possible they did not mend mistakes Sound like the old low - screen against scratching and breakage - Mobile Shockproof So far, Sony has not made ​​Mobile resistant to shocks and durability such as Xperia Active Are they unable to make such a giant? If the Xperia Active screen as big as 5 inches of storage space and 32 GB and 3 GB Memory and a great camera Already be against the water - Shockproof - against scratching (any real action and not words) I'm thinking about what I was never changed that with me, because this area is a few weak memory and I can not work it updates Or download programs and games Finally: I hope Sony have to take my words and my advice seriously because Sony distinct from others Against bumps and scratches - against water Look at the iPhone screen is now 6 Sapphire strong Look at Samsung Sony held in her phone S 5 (water proof) I do not want any company to precede Sony, because I love it
    What do you think the Xperia Active X is a powerful specifications (my dream)
    Yours my affection and respect

    Not only for me. For all people, but like Mobile resistant and good to use But like Mobile voice high and strong specifications I speak for the company and for the benefit of the company Sony were always there are some problems in its phones Such as: a low voice - stop in the big games and applications - the vibration does not work sometimes The screen easily scratch and a lot
