Do not get a Sony Experia - save yourself the pain

[Anonymous]

I upgraded last year and selected a sony experia, worst choice of phone I ever made

Software is slow and locks repeatedly

Refuses to allow me to swipe to accept incoming calls regularly

Battery life very poor

UI is poor

Generally crap!

Hi

I always suggest if a person can to check out YouTube reviews and to have a play with working demo models at shops to see if it's a phone that matches your wants and needs.

I assume the phone is on the latest firmware and if you've recently updated a hard reset may help to clear out old files making it possibly glitch.do a back up first to save your data in the phones memory.

Edit : I suppose you could sell it and purchase a better for your needs phone.

Maybe a factory reset would help, back up first.

Personally I don't like the Xperia models but there are plenty that do. Personal preference really.

Try deleting any old / unused apps , videos etc that may be throttling the phone.

It is possible that an app is causing the problem but I would go for the factory reset and reinstall the apps one by one to see if they cause issues.

The phone does have a 2 year warranty so that's an avenue to go down. I would deal directly with Sony myself.

If so I'm not surprised it may be sluggish after a years use with 8GB of internal memory but only 5.8 GB user available.

That actually means very little in reality....

The important factor is memory management - Something that Sony inexplicably missed completely with the 4.3 update.....
