[Xperia SP General] neXus PRIME:
Seeing as it is the most updated thread, i wanna ask an offtopic...

i flashed a couple of stock based roms... one of them had support to use "widgets" as SMALL APPS as well as the supported ones.... now i have flashed existenxe, pureness and few others but dont remember which one had that function.... can anyone help me point to it?

Thanks

ok, update ready (4.3) - PC Companion

Today, while I was doind my phone´s backup with PC Companion, it called for a new update (4.3 I guess).

Couldn´t do it because it needs a PC with windows 7, and mine is 8.1, but no problem.

I still dont know if I´ll do it, cause I dont know how to root it (4.3) yet.

Oh, and a question... is there any app for bootloader check, because I don´t know if mine is locked or not.:eek:
[Xperia SP General] gagson91:
Are you sure it is 4.3???
[Xperia SP General] Depump:
it update pcc only

no regarding rom 4.3
[Xperia SP General] KiranP23:
existenxe, , from small app > click + > convert widgets
[Xperia SP General] Nibsalot:
To check bootloader type *#*#7378423#*#* into the dialer

Look here http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions
[Xperia SP General] MrSteve555:
Could you share your customization number? In dialer dial *#*#7378423#*#*, from that menu go to Service info, then to Software info - there it is.
[Xperia SP General] LocaMobile:
Simple off topic question. I'm goona relock my bootloader and get soft update byc pcc. When I unlocked it I lost all my thing on phone (I knew about it) but if I'll relock it I'll lost it too?
[Xperia SP General] mrjraider:
The PCC update is not the update for our phone (figures) but some bugfixes I think.

Still running good old 12.0.A.254
[Xperia SP General] Patrol619:
No, you only lose everything at unlocking, not in relocking, so feel free to relock it :)

and will give you 10000000000000000000000 years later the updated android version ...

realese time 2100 :D

just wait . we are working on it... that's it

whats sony did with us and doing :D
[Xperia SP General] dontknow773:
I personaly don't thi.k sony will skip 4.3 update. The leaked version is a proof they've been working on it so it would be just waistin of money and time to skip this. But with things going like this I am scared abiut the 4.4 update :/ hopefuly I am wrong in this. Fingers crossed :D

Odoslané z C5303 pomocou Tapatalku
[Xperia SP General] Sahaab:
They have already promised it

And they told about 4.4 for xperia SP before others like xperia L and etc

Hence xperia SP shud most probably get 4.4 if there is any that wont it wud be the others

Also xperia SP is a pretty famous xperia device, it wud hurt sony a lot if they cancel 4.4 update

Tho sony did not give 4.2 to us, in the latest update sony gave us the 4.2 UI

I guess they were probably working on 4.2 for us buy cuz of release of 4.4 ppl started to want 4.4 and hence to get us 4.3 and 4.4 faster they skipped it and instead gave us the UI, as to not dissapoint us

People stop being pessimistic, just hope for the best, we should get 4.4 and anywayz now is not the time to worry about 4.4 as sony hasnt even released 4.4 for any device yet

Theres no point talking about dissapointment right now. Technically theres are still 4 days til end of january, and early feb means 1st week so thats 7 days?

4 + 7 = ?

11 days of hope

11 days of excitement

11 days of fun reading your posts

4.3

The minute Sony releases 4.3, people will complain about KitKat. It's the real neverending story...

:laugh:
[Xperia SP General] ZakooZ:
People only started complaining about 4.3 in the end of december... Because sony had promised to release it in december...
[Xperia SP General] Nanostray:
My previous phone was a ST18i (Xray) and sony managed to move the ETA two months or so before the firmware was released
[Xperia SP General] Kianush:
People should actually complain about 4.4 because it's much different than jelly beans

4.3 would mostly give us new UI other than that not VERY big deal!

all we need right now is more free ram
[Xperia SP General] Sadman Khan:
4.3 will bring new ui, theme support, better ram management, 840 mb of ram, far better performance, DAMN GOOD wifi, no wake up black screen bug etc etc. All these can be enjoyed already in the leaked 4.3 . So yeah it is a VERY VERY big deal
[Xperia SP General] ZakooZ:
4.3 gives TRIM, which improves smoothness, and OpenGLES3 support which might come in handy later on when games require opengles3 to run or to run at the highest quality settings

It improves antutu score (from 21-22k to 24-25k) and battery life too

And there's a lot of UI differences between xperia 4.1/4.2 and xperia 4.3

Now pretty much all that changed between android AOSP 4.3 and 4.4 was... The theme was changed from blue to white and they got a sponsorship from kitkat so they decided to rename it to KK last second
[Xperia SP General] pm2lp:
The only thing that worries me if we don't get the fw today or in the next few days is that we might not even get it in early February.. The last fw version was certified one week and a half ago, which usually is enough time to release it, now if they found any bug they need to work on another fw, get the certification and test it. If this is the case I believe end of February/ early March is a more realistic ETA.

I still want the Android shaped kitkat bar ^^ They just didn't sell them over here...
[Xperia SP General] ArunThazhathuveetil:
I can wait for this JAN too ... if it not happen, i will sell my xsp and buy s4 for sure... also i will never buy any sony pdts. because this is cheating. how much days we have to wait? Its already 60 days..!!! we already paid for this buggy device. So we need that update with bug fixes. otherwise why sony promiced us? I'm using sony mobiles since 2002 onwards.. my first handset was T100. till date sony is my first choice for all electronics items. I believe in sony. they develop good products i agree. but this is cheating and cant tolerate more. How much customers all over the world waited for this update and bug fixes. I think xperia sp is the best selling mobile they made in this Android series. but all update is only for thier flagships, that anyone dosent want. Dont make us disappoint sony. WE STILL HAVE BELIEVE IN YOU...
[Xperia SP General] Sahaab:
first thing , if u really want to sell your device , go ahead , u do not have to tell us

second thing , if you are really a sony lover ( like me , never got any other device than sony ) , then u will patiently wait as developing is hard work , atleast until the first half of february

last thing , may i know what bugs you may be talking about? i have only experienced 1 in the latest update , 2.254 , which is the screen sometimes not turning on properly
[Xperia SP General] ArunThazhathuveetil:
One sony lover?????

OH GOD... the only man who dosent have any bugs from XSP... I dnt want anyones advice for sell my device and any advice for using only sony device. I have many android devices. i shown the patience for the last 60 days. Can u make sure that the update will come on FEB?
[Xperia SP General] Punypoop:
Too many impatient kids whining here..
[Xperia SP General] neXus PRIME:
Speaking from my personal experience, owned several HTC devices and a couple samsung.

I think SONY gives the best design, specs etc etc.

On the software front, its WELL-DEVELOPED considering the barren wastelands of some htc and samsung midrangers. (You dont wanna argue with me over this)

On the OEM support front, they still win over HTC and Samsung, as none of them is going to offer kitkat for same budget category as SP. (Even if kitkat on SP is a distant promise, its still better than others)

Lastly, the crazy things... here, Sony lost my favour, as the "BOOTLOADER UNLOCK ALLOWED: NO" made me so angry at first, that i wanted to sell it after 3 weeks of ownership, but then thought about it, and now pretty satisfied.

Thing is, android updates are good, and CM11/aosp dev is also great for bleeding edge features, but if the Stock experience is good enough (in sony and htc, it is very good), then you probably can live without Cm dev. Android is at a stage of maturity where updates are incremental and not radical...

Apart from the bootloader fiasco, sony ticked all the right boxes, and i dont hv many reasons to complain about it. If you wanna sell this great phone, go ahead, but rest assured you wont find many better deals (apart from maybe nexus devices). If you are going to buy a samsung (sh*t UI and bloated with features), even their Settings is still gingerbread, then you are not a smart person. If you gonna install cm on samsung, maybe then its a good phone but it is still PLASTIC, cheap glossy PLASTIC. (not talking about note 3.)

many of you have waited for 4.3 for a lot longer, so i understand the frustration, but the leaked firmware give u guarantee its coming soon....

You cant feel what i feel after buying a decent specced phone and NOT being able to install any custom non-stock rom on it.... if i can come to terms with that CRAZy thing, and HAVE to wait for official 4.3/4.4, it think others can show the same patience if they try.

If this update goes like the previous Xperia updates I have experience with, there will be almost zero visual change to the stock ROM.

The important thing (for me) will be the updated binaries and kernel). I don't much care for Sony's stock style.

I'd love to be wrong though!

[Xperia SP General] clewis:
Completely agree every android device i have owned you see people going "HTC sucks at updates" "Samsung sucks at updates" "Sony sucks at updated" blah blah, if you want updates quickly go nexus or Motorola (Basically stock android). I'm excited for this update but 4.1 to 4.3 isn't anything massive dont get why everyone is so excited for it, its not android 2.3 to 4.0.
[Xperia SP General] Androidkeeda:
I think all r excited bcz of hopes for camera fix, wifi fix, contrast fix, ram management fix, restart during watching movie may fix, walkman crashes fix... If these things nt get fixed then i will switch to lg g2 or wait for htc's snapdragon 800 phone... Nd this will be my 1st nd the last sony product..
[Xperia SP General] spix123:
and battery fix
[Xperia SP General] Androidkeeda:
Battery is the only thing that is already gud... No issues with that... But i think the latest .254 has this issue... .245 was better... Jst installed. 254 bcoz of eXistenZ rom... Thats the best thing in my sp...
[Xperia SP General] e1i@zzz:
I´m totally with ya.

It´s simply outrageous that my older phone xperia arc s has a more stable wifi connection, clearer and better looking images, less battery drainage and a better screen, too.

I really don´t understand why sony can´t give a short statement when the phones recieve the update. in times of social networking, it shall not take more than a minute to give a tweet, make a post or a blog entry... and for those kind of phones, customers may expect these effort from the company

Taking as an example the talk.sonymobile forum for the xperia sp in within 160 posts no worker of sony replied, I only have to wonder how this company still can claim to be one of the upper classed ones..

again... outrageous

just glad we have XDA, without it I´d have left android and sony platforms long time ago.
[Xperia SP General] spix123:
Not good for me... really bad. Using .254 stock rom. Super fast drain when phone is in standby
