Will ICS update fix overheating issues on Xperia Mini?

Like seemingly thousands of other people my Mini was turned in to a brick because of overheating causeing the back and menu buttons to constantly trigger. (This problem: http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/23778?start=960&tstart=0). In a different country to place of purchase so warranty doesn't work and its been sitting in the drawer doing nothing for a few months.
Question is, will the same problem persist after the ICS update? Will all those people like myself who were sold a dud be able to take them out of the drawer? I literally have to open the freezer and rub the phone over a bag of peas for it to work. (Nice engineering there Sony)
There is apparently a fix that involves rooting the phone and running a script to reduce touch screen sensitivity.. but I have neither the time nor technical proficiency to be sure that I wouldn't mess it up. Why Sony hasn't implemented a touchscreen sensitivity slider in the phone options.. I don't know...
Anyway.. given that it is a whole new operating system, will the issue still be there? Or should us Mini owners just forget it and throw the thing in the bin?

I had also the same problem. After a couple of months I gave up and bring the phone to the service center. They have fixed it in half hour by doing calibration. I have made a backup of all applications since the procedure erase everything on phone (not sd card). Make sure you sync contact with google or export them to sd card. Now its working fine.  They said that the program update will not fix this.
As I can see and I read from service paperm they had change the whole screen with front cover , microphone and a usb cap. Who knows why.

    It is against TOU to speculate on these message board.  Suggest you post your question on the Mac Rumors site.
    As I already stated, there is no 10.6.8 update.  If there was, it would be listed in Software Update.

  • 4 days ago NBC announced that hackers can intercept email and other communications that are meant to be encrypted. What update fixes this issue?

    4 days ago NBC announced that hackers can intercept email and other communications that are meant to be encrypted. What update fixes this issue?

    First, I would avoid listening to NBC as a source for tech news. They've proven that they are not a responsible source for that kind of thing. See:
    NBC severely overhypes Sochi hacking story
    Second, the SSL issue is solved by upgrading to iOS 7.0.6, as Allan points out. Plug in your phone, open the Settings app and go to General, then Software Update. Download and install the update from there. You can also download it on your computer, in iTunes, and install through sync, but that download will be larger, since it's not specific to your device.
    Finally, note that you still cannot trust e-mail... anything you put in an e-mail might as well be put on a postcard. SSL encryption only protects the transmission of username and password, when it comes to e-mail... the contents of the messages sent and received are not encrypted, and can be read (or even modified) by anyone between you and the sender/recipient. The only way to protect your e-mail is through some kind of signing and encryption, such as S/MIME.

  • HT6114 Does the 10.9.2 update fix the issue on 2011 macs where projectors with HDMI are not recognized via thunderbolt adapter?

    Hi Mac,
    Does the 10.9.2 update fix the issue on 2011 macs where projectors with HDMI are not recognized via thunderbolt adapter?
    Thanks in advance,

    So to be clear, this issue occurs on any input with the Denon Receiver.  Occurs from both HDMI out and MiniDisplay Port out.  Goes away when we reinstall the OS and update it to 10.9.2.  Comes back as soon as we update to 10.9.3.
    Cheers

    Have you been able to use the Mac Mini directly attached to the plasma/LCD/projector with out going through the Denon AVR? Even with 10.9.3 installed?
    I have a Pioneer AVR and I have the Mac attached via a HDMI to HDMI and all is working for me. Can your Denon do some upscaling? Some AVR, like my VSX-53 can change the scaling of the input video. Meaning if I still had my Apple TV 2 which outputs 720P only, can be upscaled in my AVR to 1080i or 1080P or even 24fps. Heck, I could even plug in an old style Red, White, Yellow cable and upscale it to 1080P and output it HDMI.
    I am wondering if your Denon is able to do that and it might be set wrong. Check the owners manual for such settings. Even the plasma/LCD/project could be doing the upscaling too. So check that too.

  • ICS Update Caused Sound Issues

    I just received the ICS update last night (at 3 a.m. - thanks for the heads up on that VZW...), and now when I make & receive calls the user on the other end can only hear me if I use my speaker phone.  Is anyone else having this issue?  Ideas on how to resolve it?
    Thanks!

    Wow, you guys are not going to believe this! I found someone who had the answer, at least it worked on my T-Bolt. This gal (I assume because user name is Joy11) called Verizon customer support and they told her to go to (ready for it?) Settings-Call, scroll down to Other Call Settings and unclick the Hearing Aids check box. I just did that, sure enough it was checked, unchecked it, and made a call. Phone worked. Person could hear me just fine.
    I have absolutly NO idea how that box got checked. It had to have come that way with the ICS update. When I woke up Friday morning and saw that the phone was updated, I did not goof with it but went on with my morning routine. It wasnt until I tried to call a client that I found he couldnt hear me. I cannot believe how much aggrivation and time I have put into this ******* problem and how close I came to doing a Factory Reset or <Comment deleted per the ToS.> phone.
    I promised on another forum that I wouldnt rant about Verizon, HTC and sneak attack updates until I got my phone fixed. If you will excuse me, it's time to go and fullfill my promise. I have plenty to say.

  • Pls release next ICS update fixing current Errors

    Am uttrely dissatisfied with the ICS update for Sony 2011 phones. Eagerly upgraded my XPERIA ray the day the update was pushed in India. Only to get bogged down by lagging screens, a couple of phone freezes / crashes a day and fast battery drain.
    Sony should either give a way to rollback to Gingerbread, or fix the most obvious problems and push the next update a.s.a.p.
    Until then, am left with the annoying feeling that my phone could have frozen anytime while I am not looking at it, and I have become unavailable ! What use is a smartphone, if it cant be available as a 'phone' all the time, forget even the 'amart' part ?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    really do not understand the policy adopted by sony ... why not release the update for everyone at the same time??? is more embarrassing than from a company as big as Sony ... that's why I got rid of the Xperia ray mess and I got an iphone ... plus I do not understand how a phone with a large battery  and smaller screen and all functions take off resist one day and a half ... there is a saying ... cheap things are the most expensive ... and you are cheap sony ... eight weeks have passed since launch ics ... and no update for orange romania

  • BIOS Update and Overheating Issue

    A big Hello to all my fellow HP Users and a very Good Day to all of you
    I have an HP G61-455EE Notebook PC running a Windows 7 ( 64 bit ) OS with an overheating issue - the underside of the laptop runs really hot after a while of usage and the system goes into "Hibernation" with a displayed message due to overheating.
    Pursuant to my research on this subject, I have come across advice to clean the fan ducts ( which I did ) and to update my BIOS, and that is where the problem lies.
    My BIOS current information : HP F.23, 12/21/2010 and the HP Driver Download lists a new update F.23 ; Released: 2011-01-14. Upon download and subsequent installation with the "insydeflash" program that pops up during BIOS instalation, the current and the new version are shown to be the same and despite procedding with the installation, it still shows the same old version.
    I would love all your help and advise on this, as to what I should or should I just go ahead and replace the fan ( Is that even adviseable ? )
    Looking forward to your help
    Cheers !

    F.23 is F.23 despite the discrepancy in the release dates. You have the latest BIOS.

  • Why didnt 5.0.1 update fix battery issue

    what was it that apple put into this update.? my battery seems to drain just as fast if not a bit faster. i charged last night and went to bed at 11:30P. i unplugged it and left on. in the morning got up at 6:30A and battery was at 80%. i know leaving on will drain. but 20% just sitting there???? i dont mean to hate on apple but what the f*ck man.! what was the "fix" anyone know the difference from 5.0 to 5.0.1????

    I feel better knowing I wasn't going crazy this morning. After spending the last 15 hours tweaking iTunes Match, I was afraid the service was draining my battery, but then I just let it sit idle on my desk at work and periodicaly checked it, every 30 minutes I lost 5% when it was in standby. When I was checking mail in 5 minutes, the battery drained 1% each minute. After a full night charge last night the day of standby has brought me down to 43%. I normally charge my 4s every other night, and I listen to Pandora and TuneIn Radio regularly. I have a feeling it hasn't affected everyone, just like I had no issue before, but clearly have a massive issue now.
    SERIOUSLY, APPLE. Make an announcement acknowledging this garbage. If my device doesn't get its normal battery life back, the poor folks at my local Apple Store are going to have my family and I raging the place.

  • I know there is a bug with the new firefox 3.6.14 and how Java operates. I've un-installed 3.6.14 and re-installed 3.6.13 Does the Firefox Beta 4 have the prob that 3.6.14 has? When will firefox updates fix this Java bug?

    Under tools options for the 3.6.14 there is no tab to enable java, only java scripts. There was an add- on for Java that automatically downloaded that may be part of the problem. I' also updated to Java 1.6.0.24,- is that may be part of problem. The Pogo.com website will not load certain games.
    My biggest question is whether the Firefox beta 4 is safe(er) to use, and/or does it have other and perhaps worse bugs that have not been worked out.

    Firefox 3.6.15 fixes that problem with Java.
    Use Help > '''Check for Updates''' to get 3.6.15.

  • New TimeCapusle Update fixes Xbox360 issue

    I updated my Time Capsule Airport software a few days ago when the update came out. Today I turned on the Xbox and it signs me in to Xbox Live. The xbox is not hard wired into the Time Capsule, I set up the wireless network months ago but never could get it working so it seems the new update has fixed what ever issue there was.

  • MS Office 2008 Update: fixes some print issues?

    I noticed the first update for Office 2008 is out, and one "fix" they list for Word is:
    Blank pages are no longer printed when you print to a high resolution printer. This update fixes an issue in Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard that causes blank pages to print when you print to a high resolution printer.
    I know people have struggled with Samsung and other printers and Word since Leopard released. I do not have one of the affected printers so cannot test it.
    The updater is here:

  • Fix for issue where update KB2760758 broke multiline text properties field in custom content type

    In September Microsoft Office update KB2760758 caused an issue with the multi-line field used in custom content type used in SharePoint 2010 document libraries.  KB2826026 apparently caused the same issue. 
    Users were not be able to save documents on the SP server (in a document library) as MS Word would prompt them with a "Required properties" error message stating: ".. correct the invalid or missing required properties".
    Several sources indicated that this was supposed to be fixed in the December Office updates, but I don't see an update that affects MSO.dll where the problem originates.  Does anyone know which update fixes the issue?

    I updated you on my blog post, but just to provide an update here for those searching, this issue is not fixed in the update to the MSO.DLL available in the Dec 2013 CU, and the product group currently has no ETA on a fix.
    Of course, PSS should update me as soon as they do hear of an ETA from the PG.
