GH, 25 Sep 2014Hey guys, I have a question about the M2 that I'm really hoping someone here can help me with.... moreI hope this info confirms the following facts for you,
~ the M2 front camera is ONLY a VGA cam at 480p. You need at least 2MP or higher cam for decent selfie. These days manufacturers are coming up with 5 ~ 8MP front cam...
~ so, ask your gf to ONLY use M2 front cam selfie outdoor daylight (not backlight). If selfie at indoor, make sure there's DIRECT light source on her face. Otherwise, the result is for sure ~ black faces!
Hope the above clear your doubt once and for all.

Hey guys, I have a question about the M2 that I'm really hoping someone here can help me with...
My girlfriend, who lives overseas, recently got this phone through a promotion, and the strangest thing is happening with the front camera: All pictures are dark, and almost pitch black, unless the phone is outdoors in broad daylight. Doesn't matter if she's in the brightest room, or literally right in front of a light. The camera still snaps a picture as if the room is completely dark (you can make out her teeth when she's smiling, but that's about it).
She brought it back to her Cell provider who told her that that's just the way the phone is, and they will not let her exchange it. One of the clerks there even told her that she has the same phone with the exact same issue.
She then brought it to Sony who told her that it's a known issue with the phone, and nothing can be done.
I just find this to be the strangest thing, because I have read through numerous reviews and have yet to read anything that says this is a known issue, nor have I ever heard of any camera on any device having this kind of issue, where a camera is pretty much all but useless.
Anyways, I wanted to post my issue here, in hopes that someone can confirm or deny whether or not this is an issue, and if so, if there's a fix for it.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

As stated though, my M2 is getting fixed at the mo (hopefully replaced) so haven't even had time to check out what KitKat has to offer in regards. I do know that when transfering to SD on JellyBean using File Commander crashed the device and only broken links/icons remained on the phone

So if I've understood correctly phone reset will not fix this issue and when I move an app do SD shortcut to home screen will not remain after phone restart.
I'm happy that I don't have to reset my phone to factory state.

For example if you had used some file manager like ES file manager, with KitKat you won't be able to copy data to SD card or to erase data from SD card.
With my update to KitKat I've received File Commander FK which program can perform writing to SD.
But I'm unable to download torrent directly yo SD card with uTorrent application.

Expert 123, 24 Sep 2014From your description, it appears that you are 1/100000 unlucky owner of Xperia M2.
Large ... moreMy review turned into a bit of a rant lol. Yeah, it was defo just a dodgey handset. It would be harsh to paint the entire fleet of M2s with this brush, but I am defo not the only one that had issues... this could be the same for any phone be it £150 or £550 though.
I do actually like the M2!

dmx, 25 Sep 2014Can you tell me the kitkat update was really good or stay in jellybean?I prefer JellyBean but would advise Kitkat.
On jellyBean, the phone is unable to transfer apps to the SD card.
KitKat supposedly resolved this but, my phone kept crashing (but in fairness my phone was dodgey from the start so my opinion on that is kinda moot.

Althoughbi find that the xperia m2 was rly smooth n fast but it has a serious probelm of easily overheating around the camera area when using certain apps on the phone. It also has bad camera quality , especially the secondary camera with only 480p.

Nearly all my music jumps from quiet to loud and this nuisanse of a command totally ruins the loud parts. Really, really bad idea.
