Ohh, great :D Sony you just made my day. If we receive 4.3 then I can wait half a year for 4.4 ;)

[Sony Xperia L] BLiapis:
So what we guys withe the kitchen roms await, is actually Sony to release 4.3 for the Z so the Xda will port it to the L/ M. Cause lets face it: who cares for 4.2 on our phones once 4.3 is out for the Z's?
[Sony Xperia L] Sparksys:
I do , android 4.3 of Xperia z may have issues if we port to Xperia L
[Sony Xperia L] Marius Cristian:
I don't think Sony will release 4.2.2 for us.They announced the official list for 4.2.2 long time ago and XL wasn't on that list.At the end of the post they said that some devices that aren't in that list will skip 4.2.2 and jump directly to 4.3.As 4.3 is kinda out I don't see why Sony would work at 4.2.2 for XL...maybe just some marketing technique...Anyway,we'll live and see what Sony prepared us.
[Sony Xperia L] Sparksys:
I am sure that we will get either 4.2.2 or 4.3 by mid November..100% sure
[Sony Xperia L] Hnk1:
The Sony only updates firmware once in lower and mid range phones. So if you get 4.1 out of box, you will get one update to 4.3 or 4.2.2 !

I will go with 4.2.2 to be the end of Xperia L life.

This means that there is a slight chance that we will get anything more than one major update! We will get some small fixes but that will be that !

We will still be at 4.2.2 and receive one to two minor updates for bugs. Thus, thinking that we will also get another major update is out of question !

I hope they do but the chances are very small. They will put up an excuse that hardware doesnot support or anything.

Xperia U and Samsung Galaxy S3 mini has same NovaThor but Sony claimed that NovaThor can not run Jelly Bean but surprisingly S3 mini does ! Samsung updates their phone to JB with same NovaThor but Sony didnot.

Even, JB was ported to Xperia U from Xperia P and it worked great but had battery issues. I think if Sony had taken the initiative, they could have easily done that. But sony doesnot do that. We will be extremely lucky to get another update to Xperia L after 4.2.2 ! Minor bug fixes would be there but nothing more. That's one of the reason I do not like Sony. They make great phones but lack the energy to give timely updates to all of their devices. Also, this is a way to make people buy new phones !

UPDATE :

I reread the article and found out that the real culprit was GPU.

[Sony Xperia L] Shivam Kuchhal:
Well actually Sony gave low internal memory of Xperia U as a reason for not giving update. Xperia P has same chipset but it got 4.1 update officialy.
[Sony Xperia L] Hnk1:
Yes that simply blamed the hardware.

Look at this, now even the battery life has been tweeked. Complete Rom which Sony could easily have worked on !

I totally agree with you, Sony's more busy working with bringing up New devices instead of working on updates. Well basically they just want users to buy newer phones with newer features :L they really shouldn't do that, this is my first and last Sony phone.

[Sony Xperia L] lee480:
You seem to be an expert in fabricating stories. I think it's very clear that Xperia P has 1GB of RAM while Xperia U has 512MB. Xperia Go has a lower screen resolution, hence uses less RAM.

I'll salute you! You're absolutely great at what you doing too! You can be a chief liar!

1) Sony never ever said NovaThor didn't support JB.

2) If Sony did say that, they wouldn't have upgraded Xperia P and go. If you didn't know, Go and P runs a NovaThor chipset.

3) Btw, Galaxy S3 mini has more than 512MB of RAM.

Why not I suggest you stop lying to the XDA community?

Please understand, they treated Xperia S, SL, Acro S and ion very well. First from 2.3 to 4.0 and 4.1. Three upgrades.
[Sony Xperia L] serajr:
Seeing with developer eyes, would be great to get 4.2.2 version due to a specific function introduced by google only on this version, which is UserHandle, because this "little detail" makes all the difference when porting something from higher firmware versions (I / Z stuff). So even if Sony gives us only 4.2.2, in my point of view would be great, and certainly also MUCH EASIER AND FASTER to port 4.3 stuff. Ofc 4.3 would be fairer!!
[Sony Xperia L] Shivam Kuchhal:
I ain't making any stories dude and behave properly. I never said anything about RAM. U has same resolution as many phones having 1 GB RAM nowadays, its your turn to read properly I think. :rolleyes:
[Sony Xperia L] Hnk1:
I said that myself but ended up buying Xperia L.

However, I think I am most suited for Nexus devices
[Sony Xperia L] lee480:
Again. Not using brains:

1) Can show me a link where Sony said Xperia U did not receive the upgrade due to "low memory"?

2) Xperia U and P have differences in RAM size.
[Sony Xperia L] getochkn:
In reality, no company puts out updates for all their models. You can say Sony this, Sony that. I have a Samsung Galaxy S 4G that got left at GB and runs 4.3 amazingly fast, but only because of the dev work on it. My Alcatel was promised updates that they just never finished and released.

In fact, Sony is one of the only ones trying to open up more by releasing source for some devices, warming up to AOSP, etc.

If you want a source-code friendly, lots of updates kind of phone, buy a Nexus, pure and simple. They are only ones to get that kind of stuff.

Next, you have to factor in each and every carrier that demands specific tweaks to the ROM to have shortcuts to their apps, or their website. Different languages for different parts of the world and carriers. It's not like they just have to make 1 ROM and release it, there is hundreds of carriers all around the world, all needing different tweaks and demands.

What any of these cellphone companies should do, is release the source and a binary pack. Saying, here is all the, say, Sony apps, launcher, etc, precompiled as we won't give source of that like Walkman and stuff, and here is the source to compile the ROM and the binaries needed to compile higher versions.

Of course with stupid limitations like locked bootloaders, that doesn't matter anyways. lol.
[Sony Xperia L] lee480:
Mod Edit: Let's keep it constructive and no personal attacks, please

Anyways, ermmm, I'm sure if Sony were to launch a new phone with a 800Mhz clocked CPU today, it'll come bundled with JB. I'm very sure too if those Galaxies you mentioned were launched before JB, they will not be upgraded to JB. Flagship phones gets first class attention, low range phones - limited attention. Don't like it? Don't rant here. This "policy" is practiced by practically all smartphones company.

Android 4.3 CONFIRMED

[Sony Xperia L] damian01211:
It's fake. There's no XZ Google Edition, if there was this phone will have a 4.3 few months back. Also Sony said XSP will get 4.3 so why there is nothing in box next to Xperia SP ? See.. It's fake.

Till Sony say anything about update it's really a fake everything.
[Sony Xperia L] Rohit@91:
We will get Android 4.3 this year

4.3 :good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good:
[Sony Xperia L] przemek4113:
Why in these list is no 2.17 firmware? I think it should be 4.3 as there is 15.3.
[Sony Xperia L] kris555777:
no one now why is no there 2.17,but new version will be release very soon.and i hope its 4.3
[Sony Xperia L] Marius Cristian:
i think it's 4.3,but i don't know what to say,it seems too soon.but maybe it'll be,who knows.i was taking a look at camera today and this phone needs a huge update.the video flashes & the photos are really bad for an moving object in medium light ... if next update won't fix those things,i think i'll sell my XL and get something else...i really like sony because they have power processors and good optimization...i never expected camera to be so bad in a xperia smartphone which have also been prestented as a camera phone...:confused:
[Sony Xperia L] Mrcl1450:
If they only fix the camera i'm :good:
[Sony Xperia L] damian01211:
They need to lower down the exposure lever. It's really bad... But I hope they will fix it in this update.
[Sony Xperia L] amnher:
Maybe the reason for this is that other phones uses like xperia m uses 15.2.x.x.x thats why we ended jumping to 15.3
[Sony Xperia L] agantai:
i read somewhere it's going to be 4.2
[Sony Xperia L] serajr:
4.3?
[Sony Xperia L] Emannxx:
The only thing confirmed so far is that there's a new update, and it jumps from 15.0 to 15.3. Anything else is speculation, because it's not being deployed yet. It could be 4.2, 4.3 or even an update for 4.1. Let's all wait patiently, it will come! :)

I was on the Best Buy. Website looking at Verizon phones and there was. Google ad for Wirefly Note3 for $249. I would think BB would honor it for price match. Here's the link. http://www.wirefly.com/content/veri...zon_Sitelink&gclid=CKTfvI-_nroCFYmf4Aod9CIAWg

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] sebastianraven:
They will only on their list of accepted retailers.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] ThePwnageKidney:
No they wont. Wirefly is not one of the online retailers that we price match.

Really? I've done it before... With my lg revolution.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] MichaelMcC:
How about Newegg? Theirs is $229..
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] ThePwnageKidney:
The Low Price Guarantee does not include wirefly.com officially. Now, not every single employee knows which online retailers we can price match. but if you have done it before then it was a fluke.

Here is the official list:

Amazon.com

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] polorsport:
Would Verizon Wireless price match newegg?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] ThePwnageKidney:
Verizon Corporate stores do not price match. Would have to go to Best Buy or Walmart.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] MichaelMcC:
I'm heading to BB today and use the NewEgg price. Since it's in their price match list I shouldn't have a problem either.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] ThePwnageKidney:
If they give you any guff, ask them what the benefit is to you for bringing your business to best buy. works 90% of the time.

If that doesnt work, tell them you were interested in the Geek Squad protection. Once you say that, the employee will avoid everything that may deter you from the sale. If you get the price match cuz you said you wanted geek squad, pay the $9.99 for the first month and then simply cancel it the next day. You will get your full money back with no hassles.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] MichaelMcC:
Thanks, I'll see how it goes. Heading there in about 30 minutes.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] jsdecker10:
I got mine from Best Buy two nights ago by asking them to price-match NewEgg.com's price of $229.00, but they gave me a little bit of grief at first. The guy that was working in the cellular sales department in my Best Buy said he wasn't too sure if they could match online retailer prices, so he walked off to search for a manager's approval. I didn't wanna get hosed, so I followed him just so I could hear his/her explanation if the manager wouldn't approve the price-match. Of course, the manager started off by saying that they didn't price-match to online competitors, but she explained to me that she "...would do it for you[me] just this one time since you[me] drove 35 minutes to get here and the Best Buy Store in your town said they would price-match for you[me] based on the stated list on our corporate website< Best Buy Low Price Guarantee >. I'm aware of what our website says, but technically it's up to the manager of each store to decide if their store will price-match against those stores listed on our site." This caught me VERRRRYYYYY off guard and I honestly don't think she was being truthful with me about that policy being up to the discretion of each store manager. I think it's a company-wide policy, but there's a little bit of fine print on their "Best Buy Low Price Guarantee" page that I didn't notice until after I had gotten home with my Note 3 and just re-checked the policy just for ****s-n-giggles. In the second paragraph, it states:

ANNNNDDDDD at the bottom of that page in the "Frequently Asked Questions" section, they included this little tidbit:

BUT finally, for us smartphone "enthusiasts" and all Best Buy customers wishing to take advantage of their price-matching policy, the VERRRRRYYYY last bit at the bottom is what you want to pay attention to:

Good Luck! ;)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] socalz71:
Did not work for me last night. Asked if they price matched and they said everything but phones and on only from brick and mortar stores. Guess I'll keep with my GS3 for now.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] MichaelMcC:
Actually it did work for me. I had BB selling me the Note3 for $229 right up to the point of accessing my account. I have a business account and they can't access it. So, I have the option of converting to a consumer account and getting the price match or paying full price at a Verizon store. Who knew!!

They offered me a JetPack for free and my bill would drop by $7 a month, lol

I'm a little irritated. Bought my note 3 last night. Stopped by today for the Newegg price match and the punk says you have to do that the day you buy the phone. You can't come back and get a price match. I might try another store.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] ed270:
Found this from a February article

But where*Target's policy*specifically lets you come back for a price adjustment if you find a lower price within seven days of purchase, Best Buy's price-match does not. Retroactive adjustments will only be offered if Best Buy itself offers a lower price within 15 days. The policy specifically excludes "post purchase price match requests to competitor's prices."

If they change their pricematch policy (in my area) to include contract phones again I will purchase phones from them in the future. I hope you get lucky and get them to price match for you
