        AnonD-58202, 12 Jun 2012because the 12MP pictures with this camera, the quality is ... moreOr maybe you don't know how to use it! Have a look at these pics taken using SXS camera at night:

                  Rohit, 13 Jun 2012A great phone.. Nice display, good camera,sufficient memory... moreI've got that problem after a month of using my Sony Xperia S. I though before it's virus so I installed antivirus app but it's still there that dead icon. I just updated my SXS a couple of days ago to the new FW update xxxx.75 and it's gone that dead icon showing every now and then. But when I got that dead icon it does not affect anything though.

                          Cons:

                          1. The capacitive buttons on the bottom not being responsive (maybe right but you got the trick very quickly)
                          2. Camera quality is really poor during the night times (should be better but poor)
                          3. Call volume is very low (maybe you got a hearing issue)
                          4. Battery drains very fast (did you made the update?)
                          5. Application hangs and requires forceful shutdown (your unit was deffective)
                          6. Yellow tint problem on the screen (you could return to Sony and they would give you another one without that problem like they officially stated)
                          7. DCIM folder was shown in the computer when connected the phone via data cable (Don't Know what's the problem, shows that folder and others)
                          8. Skpye hangs very quickly in this phone and it requires a restart (again, yours was deffective)
                          9. Requires micro SIM (what's the issue here? Every future phone will have that)

                          This phone is one of the bests in the market and it is only the first one because Ion and Acro S is on the way, talking about high-end models. Because de mid-range ones are also outstanding, Xperia U, Sola, Tipo (New) and Miro (New). The Xperia P, I think is good but not great, in battery life because in perfomance is good. And when ICS comes to this products it will be outstanding. Great Brand, Great smartphones... I recommend Xperia S to anyone.

                          1 - Great screen! Great UI!
                          2 - Connectivity is a winner! USB, HDMI, Wi-fi, Data and NFC. Very fast to connect and responsive!
                          3 - TV launcher/Hdmi is great, you can do anything on any TV with hdmi capability! You can even control the options with remote if it have right bottoms.
                          4 - Camera very fast, you can even take a photo with phone locked if you see a moment you to save. 3D panorama and HD Video.
                          5 - Playstation certificate (i didn't try this one because portugal still don't have a server for this service). But any huge game on the market, performs well ;)
                          7 - And the design is amazing man! Amazing in this one and the next models! (unlike Samsung and Htc that every model, entry or high level are the same at your eyes only with different sizes).

Of course no doubt that SXS is far better than your S2 (I'm quite sure you are an S2 user)!

                                I have used this phone for almost a month and here are my feedbacks

                                Pros:

                                1. Very stylish looks
                                2. Excellent 12 MP camera during the day time
                                3. Music is excellent when heard with the headphones
                                4. Massive 32 GB storage

                                Cons:

                                1. The capacitive buttons on the bottom not being responsive
                                2. Camera quality is really poor during the night times
                                3. Call volume is very low
                                4. Battery drains very fast
                                5. Application hangs and requires forceful shutdown
                                6. Yellow tint problem on the screen
                                7. DCIM folder was shown in the computer when connected the phone via data cable.
                                8. Skpye hangs very quickly in this phone and it requires a restart
                                9. Requires micro SIM

                                I bought this phone with a great expectation thinking of its powerful hardware but this phone is not upto the expectation. I hope the ICS update will fix all the bugs in this phone. My personal opinion is go for samsung. S2 and Note are far better than this phone in terms of performance though this phone looks stylish than the others in the market.
