AnonD-65018, 01 Aug 2012Call and text are working fine glen. There is a signal bar ... moreyup I tried it, changing the network mode doesn't zero bar or disable the signal. It automatically shift to GPRS/EDGE or 3G/HSDPA. Which I think is good because there is almost no disconnection even if my laptop is connected to it's hotspot.

I must admit that my Sola Unit seems to get weaker signal than my Nokia 5800 Xpress Music(if 5800 has full bar, Sola has 3bars only instead of 4bars). But I still get atleast 3G connection on my "wcdma only" here at my apartment at guadalupe(I get HSDPA when I move it near the window). And I always get HSDPA when I'm in Quezon City near SM North.

You just need to make sure that your unit has no defect. Try going to a place where people ALWAYS get HSDPA. So the signal is very strong. And check if you can get 3G/HSDPA there.

        glenn, 31 Jul 2012Your firmware build number is :6.0.B.1.564 My Firmware bu... moreCall and text are working fine glen. There is a signal bar beside the battery icon on top of the screen but the phone just don't detect edge, 3g, or hsdpa signals(No icons showing on the screen).

        I tried using another sim card(sun) and it detected hsdpa for less than a second and it disappeared completely. This lead me to believe that my phone is only having "weak" signal reception and not complete defected signal reception. Am I right?

        I've been trying to switch from "gsm only" to "wcdma only" to "wcdma preferred/gsm" for a couple of days now and it just doesn't work, still no 3g, edge nor hsdpa. There is no problem with the 3g, hsdpa, or edge signal on our area, other phones can detect these signals


        I also noticed when switching the network mode on my Sola, the signal bar do not change. On my old phone galaxy ace when I switch from one network mode, the signal bar completely becomes unavailable(0 bar) before it goes back again(having signal bars again just like after you set your phone to airplane mode and switching it back again)
        I don't know if all Sony phones behave this way. Could you please try doing it for me on your Sola.


        Also, I'll try to update my phone with same build number as yours. Also, could you tell where you bought your phone here in the Philippines?

                                    AnonD-65077, 31 Jul 2012What should I prefer Xperia Sola or Xperia P??If I have the money, I would have chosen Xperia P instead of Sola. If you have high budget then I think P is good for you.

                                    Anyway, the only difference is Xperia P has higher screen resolution, 8 mega pixel camera, a secondary front camera.

                                    But Xperia P's battery would last "shorter" than Xperia Sola since it will consume more power for larger screen and better resolution(anyway never actually tried Xperia P, just a Sola owner).

                                    The only main advantage of Sola against P is that, it is Way cheaper in price and it's storage can be 2 times more.
