1: Make sure that you have turned off 'Adapt to lighting conditions'.
This is located Settings > Display > Brightness and then it is the check box.
2: Realise that the grey notification bar and grey soft button bar are grey and not black (unless you have the Jap version).
Once those 2 have been nailed down into your brain, then any screen issues are up for discussion.
I leave 'Adapt to lighting conditions' turned on & I think the screen looks great.
"Adapt to lighting conditions" is simply an auto-brightness setting.
Don't think it has anything to do with the issues the screen is having.
Believe me.. it's very hard for me to say..
But the truth is that the display is cloudy the moment you view it at even at a slight angle.
I geared up for this.. testing the demo phones in shops and even now, I think I can make do with it. But imagine. I have the phone laying flat infront on my desk. I'm looking at the screen at an angle and I can hardly make out the camera icon on top of my light-colored wallpaper.
Comparing with the galaxies wouldn't be correct.. but look at the HTCs. They sure look better.
I'm not gonna say that this totally sucks and I will be selling my unit off.. but one thing I sure can say that Sony put a cheap display on it (either cheap for cost-effectiveness, or to try and be the slimmest in the market with a lousier display)
I think the contrast is lower than natural. However I hope there will be some sort of tool released, sort of like get a permament Bravia Engine thing going on throughout the UI.. and that would help alot.

Yes, but most people are leaving it enabled and it suppresses how high the brightness can go. Go full brightness with it on, and then turn it off.

I think they are releasing a colour calibration tool in an update (colours do need a slight tweak). But slapping on the Bravia Engine permanently would make the contrast completely over the top compared to reality.
Phone arrived this morning and now it's back in its box ready to go back.
Yuck, what was Sony thinking with that screen. Looks like the screen from the Htc Titan only difference is the resolution.

There are apps that will flash your screen for various notifications. Try Missed Message Flasher.
Tablets are not designed to be your main interaction tool for notifications, that is your mobile phone. The tablet is really only there to do things when your actually using it
You could try the app NoLED https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.led.notify
It flashes up dots or custom icons on the screen when you get various types of notifications. It will also suck your battery a bit though.

It was meant if you want something simple and designed for a child,apple should be your choice. I'm tired of people complaining about the tiniest of details. Yes this tablet is small, but I'm not carrying it around as a phone. If i see my phones led light up and my tablet is closer I'll pick it up and check. I'm an avid Android fan, and apple irritates me. People have to realize this is a tablet, and not a phone. You can get it to act that way, but tweaking is involved. Android is for adults, and people with individuality. Apple is for confused close minded people. Sorry if my comment bothered you. I probably should have explained myself better lol

Well, yup. The time has also come for me to leave this nice, cool and awesome community and move to another. The best part of all is that I'm not "moving" far away - I still bought a Sony phone, simply because they are awesome.
So yeah, I bought an Xperia S for a few personal reasons:
- I stopped using the PSP controls for games simply because I got bored of these advanced games (so now I casually play simple games like Angry Birds, Little Alchemy and Temple Run)
- As I aged a little bit and advanced further into studies I realised I need another kind of phone, one that should satisfy my needs *as XPlay did for one year and a half* (good digital camera replacer, better specs, more internal space, FM radio and a few others) - I know that XPlay can still be used as a multimedia phone, but I just feel I need something else
- I heard Xperia S will receive Nexus-like updates in the future - well, considering I wanted to buy a Galaxy Nexus before I heard these news just for this matter, consider it another reason
Well, there could be a few other reasons, but these are the mose essential. It was nice to meet you all, I must give a big thanks to developers and a few other users who made this phone from awesome to extraordinary! Thanks for eveything and have fun with your phone even further.

Oups, sorry for mentioning Angry Birds, it was only an example.
I bought Xperia S because I like the design, the camera, the screen and also because I bought it at a limited offer.
All I could say is that I still miss my XPlay, but life moves on, and I needed a different kind of phone.

You should change your sig. It's a bit depressive and it's incorrect. "All the people" DO NOT hate you. I think what it is, is that sometimes you post sarcastic answers that don't really help or benefit anyone. Some of your posts are fine and constructive whilst others aren't, which is what i think people don't like. I think your recent downloading RAM thread has examples of this. Don't mean to offend you.

A really common question with today's flagships getting bigger and bigger with every generation. In all honesty i can fit a Galaxy Note 2 in my jeans pocket quite comfortably and i wear skinny fit! Sony have done an amazing job reducing the bevel on the Z as well as making the whole phone super slim, it would fit easily into any pocket, jeans or otherwise.

really good rewiev from u i all"so traid my Note 2 for this bad-boy and more than happy i got it. in other words...the phone is F...ING AMAZING!!!! victory:
Also had my SXZ for one week now. I think it's really awesome. Some bugs at Google search, but it got fixed after the last phone update.
The Facebook picture rotation got better by the time. Just need to upload when watching the picture instead of going into face first. But I see when I upload it loses the BE2 effects, any tips on that one?
Batteri lifetime is much better than iPhone tho.
I picked the Xperia Z out instead of S4 because of the water resistance. Rather water resistance than a phone that can see where I see.

Good review agree with you on most things but tbh I can't notice any lag. They should improve the speaker though.
And it would be nice if you could change the application drawer in some way.

i am a USA user, & the phone does quite well, although without 4g capabilities.
i was previously using a lumia 920. & this phone is much more of a beauty, & elegant than the 920.
i will have to admit that the 920 did take superior photographs in night time situations, eg: night club photographs, out @ night photographs with friends. etc.
i look forward to many more sony flagship handsets.

Did it about three hours ago. Went pretty smooth for me. The kit comes with skins for the volume rockers as well but I thought it would look better without. So far, without much time to test, I like the feel. Definitely like the look. My only worry and it's a big one, is how it will fare going in and out of my pockets.

Did it about three hours ago. Went pretty smooth for me. The kit comes with skins for the volume rockers as well but I thought it would look better without. So far, without much time to test, I like the feel. Definitely like the look. My only worry and it's a big one, is how it will fare going in and out of my pockets.
Edit: posted 5 total pics and only one uploaded. I'll keep trying the rest.

I have the same skinomi carbon fiber skin but I think I did a better job of putting it on
No raised edges or corners. I have tips on how I did it if people want.

Nope. I put it in my pocket everyday. It really depends on how well it's installed on the phone though.

Well, judging by your pictures, I don't see any difference so I guess I'll find out.
Edit: nvrmnd. I see I did mine differently. I went off someone else's pics and assumed there were gonna be gaps and arranged it so the chrome-ish band would show. Didn't think of covering it up.. Poo. Guess I'll buy another one.

I plan on getting a clear skin to go over the white g2. What is a good brand that won't turn yellow after a while?

love the stealthy all black look of the nexus, i think if you had the right color skin to cover the lg logo it would look pretty nice. was wondering if any of you guys had skinned yours yet. i think the only one ive seen available is the exoskins, but they dont have black

this is the first time of me seeing the back buttons on the verizon version. i dont like those buttons. it looks like it would be a nightmare trying to take a screen shot with those small buttons.

Please share your tips. I put one on and feeling the edges drive me nuts.
