My phone only gives me the option of MTP, if you can call it an option when there's only one choice... I would love it I could use Mass Storage! 
I did a fresh install of ICS on mine the other day which temporarily solved the messaging bug I had, but today it happened again. I'm pretty annoyed. I hope Sony gets all these issues sorted out!

I'm starting to get a bit befuddled. I'm in East Yorkshire and on 02 and thought I had the official UK firmware. I updated mine using the swiss firmware, that was knocking around on XDA, last week. Then the following day I plugged the phone in and the official update happened, I used SEUS, and I've got an official ICS update that's working perfectly. I presumed it was the UK version, but obviously not as people are now saying the SI update for 3114 hasn't happened yet. How can I find out what version I've got? |

Another East Yorkshire person 
I guess in -settings -> about phone, Build Number
and also *#*#7378423#*#* but I do not know these menu's well!
I can see service information, service settings, service tests and customization settings.
My service info -> software info shows
Phone Software Version 1252-0023-6.0.a.3.7.5
But I know very little about upgrading etc and tend to wait for Sony's/O2's update as reported here and at XDA to use Sony PC Companion!

If you root the phone, there is an app on XDA that allows you to acess Mass Storage Mode.

Hey guys not been on in a while,
I got desperate and found a shitty french .ftf with loads of bloatware. Can someone give me the link to a better generic one with less (none if possible) bloatware.
As for ICS I have this to say overall I like but there a few things that I don't:
-The new font found in some areas, which is bold and I don't like it, I don't think it matches the aero thin font that was used throughout on the NXT line with gingerbread.
-I would also make it an option to change the colour of the main blue colour (which is found throughout the phone on the volume icon control and the tabs at the top of apps. These should change colour when the theme is changed. It would just make it look a lot nicer.
-I don't like the new idea that everything accessible is at the top of the phone, its one of the things I never liked with the iPhone that you always had to stretch your thumb to the top left corner to go back. Now it seems ICS is doing this too. It was quite nice in gingerbread having everything at the bottom in thumbs reach, but especially with phones' screens getting bigger this is a crazy adoption in my opinion.
-Linking on with that, is the menu bar that comes down when you tap anywhere on the homescreen. I can get used to this, however I have already noticed I am swiping through and the phone sometimes thinks I am tapping so this options bar comes down. It just looks unfinished and maybe they should make it so you have to long press to get it to come.
-It's very slow to auto rotate, in gingerbread this was a lot faster. Although this could be because it didn't have the fancy animation it is still far to long to have to wait, can be a good 3 seconds sometimes
-I also don't like the WALKMAN app icon and text. Seeing as everything else has been square shaped it seems strange song made the icon a glossy bubble, it just doesn't match the other apps, and also the WALKMAN text being written in all capitals 'Walkman' would look better... -okay so admittedly this one isn't that important, but it still annoys me

I am still a bit shocked that some users updating their devices the official way
complain about it and some others are very happy...

Hey guys, does anybody else receive the message, that com.android.phone has stopped functioning since updating to ICS? It always pops up, when I disable flight mode. It also seems like Sim-Toolkit can't run on ICS. I didn't notice any restrictions so far because of them though...
[ This Message was edited by: Detox on 2012-07-02 19:17 ]
Yes, I receive the same message, but just when I make a call. I am waiting for my smart wireless headset pro from amazon in order to perform a factory reset.
I hope that solves the issue.
Or anyone has a final solution?
I have another question: how do you get the Xperia S image for your avatar?? I don't see the option in my menu.

Type Sony Xperia S in the "search for a model" part of the avatar preferences.
