things need to be fixed in official ROM update?

what do you think, I think one of the most important is about the huge power consumption when using GSM (that is including HSPA) data connection....yes, my X1 an play music 1.75 hours with -as indicated- 10% battery drop, BUT THE SAME LEVEL OF DROP is achieved if I use my X1 to browse with GSM connection in just below 1 hour! *mind you that I wasn't downloading, that means that isn't a 100% constant connection traffic usage*
will they ever release a ROM update? when? I mean, Samsung for example, already released more than 4 ROM update for OMNIA, it will be UNACCEPTABLE if SE doesn't do that

From what I've heard from SE support there is an update imminent. -"At the latest, two weeks before christmas"... that's like, today.
Wouldn't bet any money on it reaching us before xmas though. SEs pretty good at not meeting deadlines, as we all know.

Id like an autolock, bigger dialer button option, send and recieve all email accounts at once, select/delete multiple emails, keep copys of emails and louder mp3 ringtones please, for Xmas!
Im sure there are others I cant think of at the moment .

press and hold stylus/finger for about 500ms then drag up or down to select multiple mails.
Also good for selecting multiple contacts. It's not just simple press and drag, press a little long (around 500ms) then drag
it works and it's easy

And to be ontopic
- better today interface(using OpenGL of course) that should include shortcuts to: - communications manager(turn off/on quickly for bluetooth,wifi and data connections);
- calls;
- weather;
- day and clock & alarms;
- a field with quick launch for user chosen applications.
So far i did not encounter any problem with radio functions(bluetooth, wifi and gsm/3g/umts connection). (Bluetooth does not turn off completely, it's entering a suspend state, and resumes instantly when needed - that's why i don't need any app to keep bluetooth on)
-better design to calls, and quicker response;
-optimization of graphic drivers;
-panels 2 and 4 are crapp. should be redesigned. I tried them and since then never launched again. Useless.
-try to include usb mass storage option when connecting to pc (an option to choose between active sync and mass storage);
- try to unlock Qualcomm's function to recognize an external card reader, or stick when connected to Xperia as a drive , so i can read&write on them

- more (usefull) panels for Download
- speed improvement on loading panels
- not showing the dummy panel while panel is loading
- fixing some bluetooth issues
- Browse Filesystem for Multimedia Files in Panel (not only by ID3-Tags)
- Fast switch between GSM and 3G(UMTS) in Comm Manager
- Native Remapping of Camera Button

I want a fix for the poor signal

you have Vodafone branded Xperia?? If yes, get rid of branding and do a HasrSPL reFlash with generic UK ROM. Signal pretty good, if not excellent!
Vodafone branding craps signal. It's a fact!

Oh, i forgot: There is a must in new firmware -
-redesign of camera interface, and unlock the real video recording capabilities of the machine, with possibility to choose from 3gp to mp4. For the moment, video recording is crap for what the hardware can do.
-camera should store the last settings used when taking picture, like flash on.
- adding the possibility to sync shutter speed with flash(take pictures in the night whitout long exposure time, just as the flash lights).

Yeah I did have a Vodafone branded X1 but I have flashed it with the generic UK ROM and the signal is still crap, I get 2 bars then during calls it drops signal and then searches for a signal and then 2 bars magically appear, I call the person back and it drops again. It only seems to happen in areas that don't have a strong signal, but I never had any problems in these 2 bar signal areas with all my previous mobiles.

[Q] An app to gather network health statistics?

Hi all!
I'm an Android user. I use it heavily for web-based uses - browsing, streaming music and various network-enabled apps. And I'm a little disappointed. The problem appears to be a network issue, but many, if not most, of the time, I can't get a reliable data connection on my phone. GSM is totally fine - never had a dropped call or lack of reception. Just data. Even when I am in a area of strong coverage (full bars; 3G/HSPDA icon showing) I frequently am unable to do simple web access - can't open Google, or an app is unable to do light data connection (e.g. Facebook app grabbing a profile). Sometimes it works fine and when it does, it works bloody fast. But it's that unreliability that is frustrating.
Now, I'd go to my network and ***** about it but they - quite understandably - would be unable to do much about it without a more technical description of the problem. They'd just find some way to blame it on something else, as they do. What I'm looking to do is characterise the problem by gathering some stats on connection reliability. If such data could be collected, I would be able to back up a case that there's something foobarred with the network (or persuade myself that there isn't).
Question is: does such an app exist? I'm not looking for one of the many speedcheck apps; I'm looking for something I can run for a couple of days during which time it tries to make many mobile data connections. It would record success/fail, reported network strength/type, perhaps latency, connection speed and location as well. It would do so once every, say, 5 minutes, to build up a profile of how the reliably I can get my connections.
Anyone know of such an app? If not, I might write one; do you thing such data would be useful?

Sheepish bump...

Phones problems, like PC's, can be corrected with re-boot! Reboot your phone daily for best performance.

If you are only experiencing the issue while using certain functions or applications it could be a sign of a problem with that app. If this was a downloaded app, try to uninstall the application and see if the issue continues.

[Q] Blacklisting particular cellsites

This there a way on the Nexus 4 to stop the phone from connecting to particular mobile network cells?
As can be seen in the screenshot entitled cells.jpg, I can pick up eight cell sites at my home location, however one or two of them are very slow (<1mbps and high pings), yet some of the other sites are very fast (see speed test attached). Obviously the quickest way is for the network to fix the fault, however since the issue has been on-going for a quite some time, I'm thinking that I should take some action myself!
As I am a heavy data user, I'm not too bothered about cell handovers and such (and I'm willing to accept a dropped call - if need be), but is there a way I can force the phone not to connect to cells with particular IDs?
Many thanks.

Axon 7 Facebook Live Stream - Terrible

Hey guys, I own two Axon 7's and both seem incapable of live streaming. Anyone experienced the same thing? It's essentially unusable (will cut out every few seconds and constantly display poor connection).

Live streaming over WiFi/4G?
You need to provide some additional information like over what connection or what application. Also Video or only music live streaming.

I can not live stream either on wifi or 4g on my axon 7

Tried Facebook live today (on 4G LTE) and once I hit the 'live' button it completely froze up. It also locked up the camera. I had to force stop the app in order to release the camera and the facebook app to work again. Seems i'm not the only one. Not sure if it's a ZTE problem or a Facebook problem.
