Just to share my experience using this phone.

Owned this phone for about 3-4 months now.

ISSUES:
1. Weak call volume (both using earphones and the earpiece. cannot hear phone calls on noisy places, older models do better. I have a Live with Walkman and its a better phone to make/take a call.)

2. Weak WALKMAN player volume (tried using max volume even putting everything in the equalizer at the highest levels. Again, my Live with Walkman plays louder music than Xperia SP)

3. Very poor WIFI reception.

4. Camera is OK, but not for 8MP.

5. Touch screen is not responsive at times when charging.

6. Heating issues when playing 3D games.

Verdict: Not a good buy, although I expected great things for this phone. My Live with Walkman beats this phone in terms of basic functions.

The only thing I liked about this phone is that it has LTE. Aside from that, this phone really has a lot of problems. Bad release from SONY

      gates, 09 Sep 2013Got this phone a month ago...Not really please right now. I... morecheck your SIM card if it's cut perfectly. I had the same problem before and I found out that my SIM card didn't fit perfectly on the SIM slot that's why I always had problem with the signal.

                  Im quite surprised most of you are facing heat issues while my newly bought xperia sp (1 week) doesnt have the same touch, heat, wifi issues whatsoever.I think I just got lucky that or depends really on the unit you've got.

                  The only problem is the camera quality which I find it already given due to the fact that this phone's strong side is its powerful performance and build quality as well.

                    1.dont have any problem with wifi connection.
                    2.CORRECT
                    3.Automatic brightness adjustment is working.
                    6.no touch issue whatsoever.
                    4.try SONY Stereo Bluetooth Headset SBH20
                    5.I dont play
                    7. we all know that.
                    8. havent experience that
                    pros:
                    1.NOT really.its kinda dull.it would be better if the colors are darker
                    2.AGREE
                    3.
                    4.AGREE

                    My BIGGEST disappointment with this phone is the overheating problem.it really heats up easily.

                        Got this phone a month ago...Not really please right now. I lost the signal with a caller while driving through a small river valley; when I came out the other side; I had to re start the phone; and it rebooted ok, but at the bottom of the screen; it says emergency call now, and it is stuck there; I can't do anything. I was going to remove the battery to reset it, but you can't even do that , the battery is embedded in. I used the force shut down feature, no more luck, still stuck....it sucks big time, as I really need to keep in touch with co-workers, and there is no phone store within 100 miles from here.

                                      overheating is due to its non removable internal battery.
