I love my Sony phone, however recently I changed my password, it required digits and letters which I did. After two days, the option for letters did not appear on the screen, when I tried manually, it doesn't go through. so the phone can only receive calls but I cannot access anything inside!I feel so bad about it. Can someone help!

    I really love this phone. The design and everything. But considering is the best of the QWERTY slide keyboard Xperia has they should have put more RAM and internal memory to it and maybe more CPU.
    I would stick with this phone for a long while if those things were changed. I will only change it when all the stupid apps that can't be move to SD will take my internal space and the RAM can't handle the running apps.
    It is for me a beautiful phone and I wish they improve what I mention and I would buy it again.

          When I rooted my xperia pro I deleted the pro launcher and put instead of it the play launcher with its add and preferences ..and media player with walkman app...and updated the video player and livewearmanager with the same of xperia S...i tried to update the radio app but it didn't work...now I am trying to make the games work by the physical keyboard and make it work with NFC

            Hi. Xperia pro is my first android phone...i bought it 10 months ago....and still having it...it's very good...but when I upgrade it to ics yes I experienced a little slow down...so I rooted it with locked bootloader...and then deleted some unnecessary apps and made a partition from the sd card to work like internal memory with the (link to sd) app to solve the low internal memory..so I didn't feel any slow any more and became like using GB...and when I play hard games..i make a swapp file with (ram manager)app (256 miga)...so I dont have any problem at all

              AnonD-3083, 29 Mar 2013After updating to ICS, Is anyone experiencing frequent wi-f... moreIn my opinion you did the best downgrading it.
              I very much like the Sony Ericcson stock GB Rom and UI of the Pro. And, wouldn't "upgrade" it to the many-times buggy ICS, nor try any custom rom*, because I simply don't like them and find them quite unnecesary, as the stock Rom has it all working just fine. If I ever get bored of its look I'd use some cool launcher or I'd get another Xperia.

              I'm sorry I can't help you with your doubt, but I don't really understant the need of updating to a higher version when this has proven to be 70% of the time unnecesary, 20% buggy and 10% not worthy.

              Xperia Pro is a beautiful device, don't Frankenstein it. Ha.

                    After updating to ICS, Is anyone experiencing frequent wi-fi disconnections?

                    I have tried Factory reset and even rooted the phone, but the problem was still there.
                    So downgraded back to gingerbread and using stock Xperia S Home launcher (Ported).

                      kr8, 26 Mar 2013no no...camera is good when u see the pics on mobile's scre... moreU must be having a defective unit buddy. Ive been using sony ericsson phones for the past 7 years (K750i, W810i, K810i, W910i, Cedar, Live with walkman & Xperia pro)
                      My brother had the C905 too.......
                      Even sony ericsson w910i (2 megapixels) had a very good camera.


                      I am damn sure that xperia pro has one of the best picture quality of all sony ericsson phones.

                      Better check the image resolution settings in the camera menu.

I upgraded mine to ICS after 6months...no problem expirienced... what u have to do after upgrading do a master reset and u wont face any problems.. I enjoy the ICS the GUI is good. much improvements.. GB is lame... if u ae using this phone don't waste time just update it to ICS and you will enjoy the pro...the keyboard is great easy typing and fast especially wen u are using it for emails and chating. the camera is good 8mp perfect pictures even in the dark. it runs fine on ICS even not rooted.. but if u are looking for maximum performance you can root it. for more information about this phone here's my email payiya.sipho@gmail.com.

                                Xperia pro is the best phone i have ever used. Camera quality is stunning. Slide out keyboard is awesome. I use poweramp for music playback and sound quality via the headset is superb.

                                Cons: RAM and Internal storage size are the major downside for this phone.

                                Please do not Install official ICS update, bcoz it still has lots of bugs like frequent wi-fi disconnection, laggy UI, bad video recording(only in ICS) etc.

                                  5. Press any key, and wait for the rooting process to complete.

                                  UR PHONE MAY OR WILL REBOOT SEVERAL TIMES DURING THE ROOTING PROCESS, SO DONT WORRY IF IT DOES. ALSO CHECK WHETHER SUPER-USER IS INSTALLED IN UR PHONE AFTER ROOTING. IF THE SUPER-USER APP IS NOT THERE ON UR PHONE AFTER THIS PROCESS, IT MEANS THAT UR
