[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ryjabo:
I feel you, OP. I just got this phone about a month ago and I haven't even rooted it yet. I'm so weary of flashing ROMs... I've had a Nexus S 4G, an OG EVO, Epic 4G, Nexus One... I'm so tired of flashing only to have various bugs or crashing that drive me insane. Much respect to the devs that spend a lot of time on these things... I sure can't do it... but performance and stability is so important to me. I just want my phone to be buttery smooth and as bug free as possible. I ran ICS for quite a while on my Nexus S 4G and while I LOVE the appearance and stock launcher... I'm not in a hurry for it.

All that and I'm probably going to be selling this for a Galaxy Nexus or GSIII when Sprint gets them.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
Yes, you can flash any modem regardless of GB or ICS.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
The simple answer is YES
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ascertion:
Well, if you prefer the faster boot up time, then yes. Everything else is pretty much identical in the performance department.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] barnacles10:
A faster boot time on odexed builds is only an initial thing.

Odex is supposed to quickly build cache. Once cache is built from an initial boot you likely won't see significant differences in boot times.

Unless of course you wipe dalvik for some reason then you might notice boot taking a tad longer.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] intellix:
As per the Xperia S Facebook page, it seems like another new firmware version is rolling out. 6.0.A.3.73 firmware rolling out on Xperia S.

Does anyone know what this version is about? What all fixes and changes have been introduced.

Also, I am still stuck with ver 6.0.A.3.62. PC Companion still shows that I have latest version of firmware and no updates are available.

I am based in US and have an unlocked Singapore version of the phone. So does that mean I will not be getting this new firmware update as well? Since I didnot receive ver 67 either.

One way to manually get the updates would be to flash with the updated ROM. (As mentioned in a previous thread regarding ver 67 update)

Although I could try that, I dont want to try the same with my phone just yet . I thought Sony would be providing a proper user friendly way to get the firmware updates installed.

Any comments or suggestions??
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Nimche:
Flash tool is way more user friendly than SEUS. These updates are per market and unless they feel that Singapore needs an update, you won'e get it. Keep in mind that most of these firmware carry few bloatwares which differ in each market. For each update they have to stick those into the ROM and that takes time.

If you need the latest, there are two ways:

1) Flash the latest provided file from here via Flashtool

2) What you have is the latest for your phone/market,

I moved from .62 to .67 - I can tell you that I have not experienced any differences and I am more optimistic to see signs of ICS. Hopeful not too far from here.

Good Luck
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] hush66:
I have an unbranded Singapore set (customization version 1257_6921) and don't have the update either. So far, it seems like the .73 update is rolled out to Singtel-branded sets (customization version 1257-9049).
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] 0pt1mus arcan0id:
update failed

in my region the .73 fw update is available but only on PC companion and the problem when i start the update it downloads the fw but i get a error msg " unable to install or start phone software update components "
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] hush66:
Really. Quite a number of Singtel users on HWZ have already updated to .73. You might want to check your set via PC Companion. But no noticeable differences reported.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] doministry:
It happened for me too.

What is strange I also found my phone turned off when the message appeared.

But I just unplugged it, turned this on, turned off again and started the upgrade.

And everything went smooth.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] electric0ant:
what firmware have you guys got which are receiving the update?

I currently have uk generic .67 and no update yet.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ianford10:
Same here, no update
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] don_gabrielli:
I just updated. I see nothing new from .62. Maybe it contains bug fixes. My customization is 1257-8080_R6E.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Malner27:
can you upload it please
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] hush66:
In any case, the update is rolling out for SG generic (customization version 1257_6921). I'm updating now. :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] gm007:
maybe someone can upload ftf file for the new firmware?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Kengsta:
For those who don't see the update .67

PC Companion told my device was up to date too. But in order to update it to .67 I did the following: settings->applications->turn on "Usb debugging"

Connect device and start PC Companion, and then it saw the update.

Hope this helps

Grtz

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] hush66:
I don't mind, but don't know how to go about doing so. I checked out the tutorial found here but seems it's outdated, because the FILE_xxxx files in my Program Files \ Sony Ericsson \ Update Service \ db \ 13740270 \ blob_fs folder are dated 2011. And I can't find any FILE_xxxx files in my Program Files \ Sony folder.

Edit: Ok, found the files under ProgramData \ Sony Ericsson \ Update Engine \ db \ 13740270 \ blob_fs folder. Will try to use Flashtool to create FTF and upload.

I'm not going to flask back to .67 yet if the uk update isn't out yet I'd rather keep the .73 SG just to keep the great battery life, I can't be having my phone die on me while I'm at work lol

Just updated my device (bought in HK) to .73

Benchmark score improved slightly, not sure if it is related though.

Battery life also seems to improve too.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] bill1clinton:
Are you saying the official update for HK sourced phones is available now??
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Scratchling:
With .67......
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kazuni:
if it is available, please provide us the build.prop so I can make a firmware for us :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ivan22wang:
.73 finally arrived HK.... updating now with Sony Bridge for Mac
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Flamez:
So, does the .73 update solve the lagging issues on the home screen?

That's still my only gripe with this phone :(.

Other than that, I'm lovin this phone!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Spewy1:
What lag? - this is the smoothest android I have owned - Mine is slicker than the Nexus!:D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Scratchling:
+1

Maybe you have a dud widget in there Flamez?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Flamez:
Hmm, I don't know.

My phone just seems to be lagging on the home screen while scrolling to another page.

The scrolling in the app drawer isn't exactly smooth either.

I also get a little bit of lag when scrolling in apps..

I'm on firmware .67 btw.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Scratchling:
Strange. I'm 67 too, never any lag really. Are you using a custom launcher? I'd try reflashing the phone if you're having problems like that cause you really really shouldnt be. The phone is way higher than the current android minimum spec and should fly through anything.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] huntedsoul12:
Same here. Its not a serious lag but still considering the spec of this phone, it tend to lag as mention above.

I'll try flasing my phone tomorrow.

And no UK .73 update yet :/
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Flamez:
That's the weird thing about it, I didn't do anything.

I haven't even rooted the phone yet, let alone flash it.

It's still running on stock home launcher and the only apps I've got running are Whatsapp and JuiceDefender.

The phone was lagging even before I installed those though, so they're clean..

The animations of the expandable weather widget and the folding on/off buttons are a bit laggy as well.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] sssache:
Lag on the Xperia S? Is this a joke?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] huntedsoul12:
Well its not mate, its not that serious but it is bit laggy than my Arc while opening folders, sliding through the home screen. I think it just a glitch which can be fixed by repairing or flashing. I'll try flashing later :)

No news for UK .73 update?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Scratchling:
Three Ireland say "its in testing" so there's a good chance your network has it too.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] del1701:

May I ask which customer code your phone has? (1277-xxxx)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] unknown13x:
Here's the latest note I got, the 73 firmware will be fixing some yellow tinting issues. They are apparently changing the screen's color profile to a less warmer color, so the screen will be "whiter". Please test on your own on this one, not sure if this affects all handsets on all markets.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] DevilsArc:
Hi Guys, so which one seems to be running the best out of the SG, Norwegic and the UK .73? I currently have the SG one flashed i think.

Also, is it safe to flash over the top of existing .73 firmware with a different region? If either of the above is better then the SG one Im running now, Ill make the switch.

In all honesty, I have not seen a great difference in battery on the SG one.

I am a fairly heavy user and I am only getting a day out of it as stands, 8 or so hours. Everything else is fine, no lagging etc, but yeah the battery does not seem to have extended any....
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Efe64:
Yep the SG version is a bad one.

Try lebanon or norway version. Much better ;)

In about a few hours with the .73 update i have notice this: the smartphone is much faster, soft tocuh keys are more responsive, the camera focus now it's just perfect (really, really happy about this). I can't say anything about the battery life because it's just a few hours with the update, in 2-3 days i will see the difference, but i didn't had problems with the battery even before the update, so...
