One tip for Sony is for them to look at there own official support forum at all the complaint post's from annoyed Sony Xperia customer's that have suffered from repeated poor build quality, software faults & poor customer care from there official Sony care point.
Upsetting customers either if there long term Sony customer's who would always purchase a Sony handset OR new customer's that have moved over from Apple or Samsung just isn't good business sense, bad news travels around the internet fast & put's people of from parting with there money on a Sony product in the future.
In the past buying Sony meant you where buying a top quality well built product with excellent customer care back up, shame the same thing can't be said today!

Sony loses money from smartphone unit, games and movie divisions turn a profit
Sony posted a first quarter net profit of $261 million, which is a sliver of good news for the hardware giant who has had to sell off assets to stem the tide of losses last year. Operating profit at 69.8 billion yen ($680 million) for the quarter was nearly double that of what the manufacturer achieved during the same period last year.
Strong sales of Sony's latest console, the PlayStation 4, along with mainstream success of movies like The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and 22 Jump Street were the main reasons for Sony's profitable quarter.
As for the manufacturer's Xperia smartphone business, things aren't looking any better, as Sony has posted a loss of 2.7billion yen ($26 million) for the quarter. As a result, the manufacturer slashed its sales forecast for this year from a projected 50 million to 43 million units. Even after a significant consumer interest in devices like the Xperia Z2, Sony has not managed to turn a profit from the mobile unit, citing a waning demand for smartphones as the main cause for the less than stellar sales.
Even though the first quarter was profitable, Sony is estimated to accrue around $487 million in losses over the course of the year as the manufacturer restructures its business units.
