Xperia Mini(ST15i) USB tethering fails after ICS update

[Nadikarox]

I got ICS update to my Xperia Mini 2days back. I found the USB tethering is not working when i connect it with my laptop. I use my phone to browse internet, so please hepl me to fix it. BTW portable WiFi hotspot is working perfectly..

Also there is another small problem, which is when i play a video in gallery, i see gray coloured field under the video, which suppose to be black..I should also say that the video displying quality has been slightly reduced after the update, even the BRAVIA engine is turned on...videos which played in superb quality, now display like low quality videos.

Have you tried repairing your phone with SUS or PCC?

try using other ports in your laptop, and wait to see if it detects and installs the drivers of your phone.
have you tried it with other laptop?

about the video. can you upload some samples? or does it only show in your device?
