Xperia Questions

Hey Jeff, Hi,
I was just wondering if I should just bite the bullet and try to commandeer funds to invest in a new device.
I purchased my Xperia about two years ago now and it is almost non-responsive at times and other times 'behaves' like it has a thinking mind of its own.
I hate the fact I will just be another manipulated guy having to accept a multi-national's timeline for continuously evolving/upgrading products.

Anyhow is this just a reality I must face this time?
Thanks,
Thomas Stone.

@Stoney1 Try performing a system repair using PC Companion as this will often fix issues - This will factory reset your phone and erase all data so best to backup before you begin

Switch off your phone and unplug from Pc (Hold volume up and power for around 10 seconds)
Start PC Companion and select Support zone then Update my phone/tablet then in Blue Repair my phone/tablet and follow the on screen instructions - When prompted connect your phone still switched off holding volume down or back button - This should start the repair or reformat process

If you are using Windows 8/8.1 or a 64bit operating system then adjust the settings for PC Companion and run in compatibility mode and chose Windows 7 or XP

Wow that was almost instant, thank you very much for that expedient reply, much appreciated friend.
Unfortunately I've actually enacted everything suggested in your response hitherto.
I guess Father Time is just an inevitable factor in even androids.
Thanks anyway,
Thomas Stone.
