A quad core processor is better than a dual core in multitasking, as there are more cores for the apps to take advantage. There's no need for high frequency when you have a quad core phone. It can transfer data faster than a dual core because of the extra cores. Just take a look at the xperia m2 (quad core at 1,2 ghz), which in my opinion is equal to the sp in specs (wherever the one loses, the other wins, so..).
[Xperia SP General] Daniel D.:
Damn, no one complains about the missing release one week after the certification. :D :p

I don't think anyone gives a **** about the 4.3 releases anymore....sony got many people tired of this firmware hunt...

Xperia T2 Ultra kitkat is a **** just full of bugs and slow perfomanence

xperia m2 and e1 kitkat will be the same S*IT
[Xperia SP General] lee480:
Congratulations you have just completely loss your credibility. Your posts lack merit, reliability and is full of profanities; an unusual behaviour in XDA. Good luck.

I went to the T2 Ultra forum and see extremely low number of people complaining excessively. Oddly, here, we've a non T2 Ultra user complaining more than actual users.
[Xperia SP General] ParvSharma:
I just got rid of stupid sony and bought HTC Desire 816.. A Piece of beauty. Now I am happy and wont ever buy a stupid sony
[Xperia SP General] noahvt:
People like you should be temp banned from xda for posting such thing please keep your stupid comments for yourself!

Thank you
[Xperia SP General] Draqula:
Some things never change...

User X buys brand B, is disappointed and goes on to buy brand C.

User Y buys brand C, is disappointed and goes on to buy brand B.

and so on and so on...

I came from the original HTC Desire so I know how pissed the users were about HTC not doing a good job with updates, many said they are going to buy Sony because at the time Sony's rep for releasing updates was way better.
[Xperia SP General] mrjraider:
In other news. It seems Sony Update Service has been abonded by Sony. Since 21 july I am unable to redownload the program again because it is merged in the PC Companion software.
[Xperia SP General] tomxii:
LOL i think we should all invest on Nexus devices XD if you want updates and all but even then you will have issues like:

Reports have indicated that the Gorilla Glass screen is significantly more brittle than expected.

Some devices show hissing, popping and loud static with the built-in microphone.

While changing the volume using the volume rocker with a headset connected, system notification sound is played through both the speaker and connected headset.

Video recording quality issues at night.

Connection problems with 5 GHz Wi-Fi access points.

After the 4.4.3 update, some users calls are getting dropped after a few seconds. Google is aware of the issue and looking for a fix.

etc...........

though i took this from wikipedia LOL i m not sure how it is CURRENTLY... XD In any case i have a friend who uses a nexus 5 and he is really Happy with it. If you ask me its all about the money. :silly: If have money buy a note 3 or Xperia Z2 or a Nexus and your problem is solved. Brand wont matter any more :silly: I mean buy a flagship device problem solved. its true you know :p well there are certain exceptions sometimes :p
[Xperia SP General] pakatsui:
I doubt they'll release 4.4.2 within 10 days without certification.
[Xperia SP General] tomxii:
Woah really? i actually found that piece of Software pretty helpful.. ah well they did merge it with the PC Companion i guess
[Xperia SP General] DjowBr:
They released 205 without certification... When i updated my phone 205 hasnt showed on ptcrb
[Xperia SP General] antkalaitzakis96:
.205 was certified.. .201 wasn't on ptcrb
[Xperia SP General] le grande magnetto:
not all certified fw get released and vice versa

I'm starting to get bored, of sony ignoring us when it comes to KitKat, I think I wait until September and if then don't decide to bring KitKat, I will put CyanogenMod 11 on my Xperia SP.
[Xperia SP General] neXus PRIME:
At least I share the view of people eagerly waiting for official KK, being on permanent locked bl.,, it will help in Android L port ..

But yes, people should use this thread for only legit news and not sharing ideas, frustration and fake rumors.

Whenever you post, all subscribed users think there is some news in this thread, once they see it's just random post, they are obliged to post some of their own crap as well. Maybe like I did :P ;)
[Xperia SP General] le grande magnetto:
now that's a threat!:good:
[Xperia SP General] Revontheus:
As horrible as it sounds consider buying a Z Device...

SP is about to fully stop getting updates from Sony which kinda sucks but Atleast I have another device that gets updated frequently

:)
[Xperia SP General] le grande magnetto:
i Device
[Xperia SP General] UsernameWasTaken:
And that is exactly what Sony and every other phone producer wants: customers to shell out more money for somewhat better, if unnecesssary specs and promise of an update.

If anything, KK is a lighter Android version that is more welcomed on a modest hardware than of any JB, 4.1 - 4.3. And if a phone runs with a JB, it will and should run better once it gets KK. Unless you cram a shirtload of fatware in it, at which point not even 3 TBs of RAM and a Warp drive won't save the performance.
[Xperia SP General] le grande magnetto:
without KK, SP is doomed.
[Xperia SP General] RoXzAn:
Why???? It works all rt on jb also. enjoy 4.3 and patiently wait for kk till October or official announcement from sony.[emoji58]
[Xperia SP General] Emma22288:
I don't understand why they can't give us a simple yes or no. This under investigation thing is more frustrating than a simple no kk for you...
[Xperia SP General] TTMaster:
When we have the 207 upgrade?

This is so important now. No KitKat
[Xperia SP General] MH-Droid:
Whats the importance of another 4.3 without any changes!!?!!! 4.4 is important, a new rom with new kernel which can be used in Cm11..
[Xperia SP General] le grande magnetto:
yeah, its crappy but enjoy it :D
[Xperia SP General] TTMaster:
you are right, but first is the 207 upgrade, then we will see what Sony do.

Who knows for sure?

:confused:
[Xperia SP General] MH-Droid:
Yeah in my opinion we will get kitkat but only one firmware that lags like hell and full of bugs.. And this buggy update will be available in the end of 18 month
[Xperia SP General] Revontheus:
Heres What I did... I saved up some cash for about 4 months then I sold my Xperia V and luckily got enough money to buy the Z1 Compact ^-^

I'd love to see my SP running on KK but since Sony won't give us a stock kitkat we can probably do with the CM 11 Roms
[Xperia SP General] 47un:
The less powerful Xperia E1 gets Kitkat certified ... When are we ever gonna get it..

Connoisseur's Words
[Xperia SP General] pranavthombare:
Dude, reading the first three words made me excited like anything, but when I read the whole sentence, you ruined it.
[Xperia SP General] Bares:
Less than 1% left that i'm sure Sony will release KK for SP, but... I do hope for it, since X SP really deserve to get it as SONY's promise at very long times ago, at least here.

Really hard to find another phone in same "PERFORMANCE LEVEL AND PRICE" (including it's design, but this just about taste) here actually. Even for today, it's still a great mid range smartphone.

In my side, this is just a simple case. I still love my X SP (including its design) and my previous SONY's phones. But... IF THERE IS NO KK UPDATE FOR X SP, THEN NO MORE SONY PHONE FOR ME.

Not because of these delaying updates (this is not my first experience with sony) but because i'm so disapointed on SONY's support for their customers (buyers), especially in software development, including really poor support on their official service centre.

Personally i hate a lier.....

I do like SONY's UI and apps, eventhough we need (at least for me) to do some works for all SONY's firmwares just to make it PERFECT (to fix or to optimize buggy or unoptimize firmwares). But.... no more lier's phone on the future...

Sayonara...... ;)
[Xperia SP General] Farooq95:
Can't believe that people still waiting for kk while there is cm11..... just installed it today and will never come back to 4.3.
[Xperia SP General] Rajeev:
You can't compare sony KK and CM11 my friend... Not everyone will like CM11. Not every one can unlock their bootloader. Some one loves Bravia Engine.. Etc etc.. 7 out of 15 peoples does not like CM based roms..
[Xperia SP General] le grande magnetto:
cant believe this comparison! cm is not even stable, sound is too silent, no second mic, led bar not fully working, no stamina or smth similar.. well, at least, autobrightness is working properly :D
[Xperia SP General] Farooq95:
The new nightlies are very stable both in multitasking and ram management

About the LED lights they work just fine and I use ART as it saves battery ... plus there is fix in the forum for second speaker and I'm telling that in a month we will have a perfectly running cm11 ROM as the current one is already very stable.

But I will admit that launcher lags very slightly (rarely noticeable)but it can be fixed very soon...;)
[Xperia SP General] MrSteve555:
At least LBL version is really stable, sound is like stock in loudness, but without xLoud, and you can raise it very easily, rear mic is working when you apply a patch, led bar also works fine with Illumination bar notification, and Stamina can be replaced with additional app. It's AOSP. You can choose the apps you want to have, you aren't bound to anything like on stock(techincally you aren't bound to anything on stock, but I think you got the idea).
[Xperia SP General] neXus PRIME:
My personal view is

Stock is stock. The way OEM intended phone to be used. (Good or bad is subjective)

AOSP/CM is more or less the way google intends phones to be used. (Still, good or bad is subjective)

Comparison is unbalanced. Both have near equal merits. I would personally love to have KK by Sony because it at least gives us a base for future. CM11 can't be that. (Specially for LBL guys.)
[Xperia SP General] shadyg:
You're absolutely right, but if the stock version, give you headaches and the phone can be unlocked BL, why not do that, to have the performance that deserve.

I still hope that Sony give us Android 4.4, but if not it's good to have an alternative.

The last time they posted one, it wasn't accurate.

So don't believe any faking websites that does not belongs to Sony.. Wait for a good news
[Xperia SP General] SpaceCaker:
And its 4.4.4 the last news i heard was for 4.4.2 kitkat for sp

Thats what i could find out from those " fake" sites

This may ve the solution for those who don't want to wait and like me don't want to (or can't) unlock bootloader, and who want a Sony (or better Sony-like) kitkat ROM: XperianZe is now working on 4.4.4 (stable) and should be WORKING ON LOCKED BOOTLOADER!

[Xperia SP General] neXus PRIME:
Actually, v3 based on neXusCM. But yeah, not stock.
[Xperia SP General] dipesh1502:

[Xperia SP General] antkalaitzakis96:
Wait for the release of KitKat for Xperia E1...Sony will publish on it's blog that kitkat was released for e1 and it will mention the phones which will get the update..if SP is missing, forget KK.
[Xperia SP General] pranavthombare:
It's actually z2 ui installed and a z2 theme and all the Sony media apps. No offense but you can install it on cm11 or pa rom too.

The official Sony kk rom means an optimized, daily driver rom with a new kernel to work with and you get the stamina mode in it.
[Xperia SP General] miki.cis:
But there isn't any SP rom like that in the present, or is it?
[Xperia SP General] Rajeev:
U can install even a Z2 Lock Screen (4.4.2) in any CM Based ROMs... UI is not the matter. Real Xperia KK is the matter for SP.
[Xperia SP General] Farooq95:
Recent cm11 nightlies have been great I can't move back to 4.3 based ROMs because of poor multitasking... I was on the existencez rom before.....

I will post again when my battery almost dies

Forgot to mention that I don't use xposed framework

So I choose Art runtime in developer settings

This is on unlocked bootloader
[Xperia SP General] SpaceCaker:
Hey i have heard about these nightlies

These are available at CM official site right ?

Get.cm it was if i remember

All i could find as thread was FXP one

And i remmeber someone saying that difference between fxp and cm where that it had stock bootlogo and latest nightlies

But i havent yet found the place to download these nightlies
[Xperia SP General] Farooq95:
On official cm site yes.

Can Xperia SP update to Android L in the future? :confused:

If you are expecting from sony then answer is NO bt we may get it from cyanogen or fxp team
[Xperia SP General] pesgta:
Really?If it's possible, i will buy SP now. Thank you for your comment :laugh:

One question, can SP update to 4.4.4 kitkat?
[Xperia SP General] RoXzAn:
4.4 is under investigation and everyone here is waiting for official announcement from sony so it is still a doubt that we get kk or not.
[Xperia SP General] pesgta:
Thank you.;)

Can you tell me what is the best custom rom now? Does it have bugs?
[Xperia SP General] pranavthombare:
Oh man, seriously!!

Firstly you go off topic

Secondly you ask which is the best rom. Dude please read the heading of the thread.

I'm not being rude but its against the rules of xda, you should never ask about the best rom. This thread is about the news of official kk update. Don't add B.S to it
[Xperia SP General] Rajeev:
Since u r new here just go to SP development Section and u can find some variety of Custom roms. Just read the OP change logs and user review then choose one by urself...

And if u still not purchase SP means i advice u to go for a newer device within the budget for getting latest updates from sony..

And please don't ask me or here which is the best newer device..

End of topics.. Have a nice day
[Xperia SP General] pesgta:

[IMG="Kitkat"]http://s4.postimg.org/5x85y4yb1/Kit_Kat.jpg[/IMG]
[Xperia SP General] MrSteve555:
Some quotes from that article:

Long story short, they don't make a lot of money from mid-range segment. Said so, they care less. This leads us to a well-known sentence - no KK for us. Just the truth. Why? They now have two choices - one: provide great support for mid-range so it's more attractive to users with its price point(haha, this doesn't come along the name "Sony"), two: drop the support for all midrangers(more likely Sony will do that).

Basically, very speedy KitKat update compared to our no KitKat. Well, Sony isn't going to compete well between phone that KK update is under investigation NEARLY A YEAR AFTER RELEASE (great support *clap clap clap*) and a phone that gets all the updates max. a month after release.

Also, I don't understand one thing - why are you still waiting? KitKat isn't the newest version of Android now when Android L is just round the corner. KitKat update would just make us left with one OS version behind, and no KitKat would make us with two OS versions behind every other new phone. So, we still don't get the newest version of Android. Still a big disappointment for all the users.
[Xperia SP General] Farooq95:
Well I have to agree with you moto g is beating other midrange products because of quick software updates

It got kitkat 4.4.2 in December 2013 and none of Sony's midrangers have got an update until recently that t2 ultra got 4.4.2 while moto g got 4.4.4 already recently with a confirmation for android L and plus they left the 2013 midrangers for dead and they releasing updates after 7-8 months that too some of those updates are buggy and ****......

Or better concentrate only on high end stuff like apple....

It time Sony release few models of devices if they can't keep up updating them is of they should at least try releasing Google play editions of their devices
[Xperia SP General] lee480:
You can talk all you want, but Motorola isn't making a single nickel out of Moto G.
[Xperia SP General] le grande magnetto:
when new android is released (first for nexus phones) all other phones have to wait looong before they get newest version and basically only hi-end phones receives it so it would be more than naive to expect/ask/demand L for SP. Or maybe you are saying that KK to appear on the SP has the same odds as L, than it's quite understandable. :D
[Xperia SP General] MrSteve555:
I was trying to say that Sony FAILED. I think there's no point in giving nearly a year old update. Giving Android L would be a better move but hey, it's Sony, they won't do that, our support is ending and they care less about XSP every day.
