Slayer, 13 Jun 2015Credit to Sony! Customers experience a problem, it is repor... moreThey already knew that the S810 chipset had real issues with overheating and throttling, but they still went ahead and put it on their "new" device. And no, a mere software update is likely not going to fix a hardware problem. The S808 would've been a good choice, but no. Sony just loves to shoot itself on both feet!

Credit to Sony! Customers experience a problem, it is reported, Sony owns the problem then fixes it! Job done....If only other companies owned their customers' issues in the same way instead of going into denial mode. Looking at you Samsung as the battery life on S6 is crap and you know it!

I think Qualcomm has been bought to destroy the already ailing Sony and HTC smartphones.

Billyj, 12 Jun 2015Everything is a software fix these days, my cat hates me, b... moreLOL. Finally someone said it! That "firmware update" blanket response for all issues is no longer going to work. Release the phone without flaws instead of pushing newer models every 6 months.

Hmm yet again Sony flaws show up. And when legit claims of Z3 compact self cracking were reported all these Sony fanboys who don't even own the phone were claiming those are lies, samsung paid trolls etc... Nice work you're doing covering Sony's butt and the consequence is that they've yet to sort out any problems.
Sony just repackaging the same crap for 2 years now. Even the M9 wasn't so bad a release.

This is a disaster to these overheating phones....
Hope that exynos7 galaxy s6 gets the same update to fix the same problem:
