They built 4.5 too fast and had a lot bugs...So they made 4.6 to fix all of them

I think you guys can't take a joke...

I posted all these posts just to cheer up a little the thread..

There are no news and you keep posting fake or real proof about new android versions...

New firmware or android will come when it SONY tells it.We can't decide whether they post it or not.

I thought being a little sarcastic will give a boost to the post..Seriously there is no other reason to post here..

This thread is already messed up and will always be because of its "community"...

We already know there is no android 4.5 or 4.6 to be released.How can you people believe what others say without having your own proof?

That's what I had to say...Have a nice day :highfive:

I agree with you. This thread is already nonsense, better make this thread for jokers Lol =D>
[Xperia SP General] ShinOrochiX:
What we currently know...

This thread is becoming full of bullsh*t, so I hope to clear things up a little.

There is no official news from Sony regarding any future updates for the Xperia SP, meaning that we may/may not get Android 4.4. Sony has been quiet for the Xperia SP/L/M and few others.

There are several rumors going around regarding future updates...

- The roadmap picture (here) cannot be relied upon, anyone could make that-so don't keep your hopes up.

- The fact that Sony changed the update status for 4.4 from next version to under investigation is of course bad, but there is a chance we could get it-they haven't rejected it.

- Regarding the upcoming .203 update, similarly nothing is official, although the fact that it was mentioned by a network alongside some users reporting it coming soon from Sony makes it seem true.

I may have missed things but these are the main points, so lets refrain from posting rubbish to this thread-it's already long enough at 400+ pages.
[Xperia SP General] chewlohseng:
I don't think it's really true since some devices already get the update for quite some time...
[Xperia SP General] Rajeev:
Xperia T already got 4.3 but in this picture they telling its not released.. So strange
[Xperia SP General] krokanic:
is it released in the india? maybe this is the problem...just maybe :)
[Xperia SP General] lee480:
Xperia T is not even officially sold in Sony stores in India.

I'll try to repeat this again to lost souls that the table is 100% fake.

Be prepared as Xperia SP might remain on Android 4.3 forever.
[Xperia SP General] krokanic:
what is the purpose of these fake announcement, what people will get with it ... I do not understand such people... and not big deal if we stay forever with 4.3....there will be allways FXP team and cyanogenmod and other custom roms :D let's be realistic, we don't have a flagship :o
[Xperia SP General] Nanostray:
Even if we had a flagship, sony abandons phones too soon

Expected reply, if they say the update is coming people will be yelling at Sony Mobile when Xperia Z (early-2013) lineup gets KitKat and Xperia SP doesn't receive so quickly.
[Xperia SP General] lee480:
Xperia Z is their flagship and SP is not. Simple
[Xperia SP General] chewlohseng:
Yes I know, but there are some people that just don't understand that and think that it must be rolled out alongside the Xperia Z/ZR/ZL, since they are all branded under Sony Mobile, and then keep on spamming why they never receive the update.

See the Sony Xperia SP FB Group and you'll keep on seeing the KitKat posts. It's very annoying.

Sony Xperia SP Official Android 4.4.2 KitKat Coming in June 2014 According to Update

Recently, Vodafone Spain tipped out that Sony Xperia SP may receive an Android 4.4.2 KitKat after Sony Mobile told them of a new firmware under development. Now, a leaked document reveals Android KitKat update to be released between June and July 2014 for Xperia SP.

Sony Xperia SP Android KitKat

Sony smartphones from the 2013 line-up are expected to get new firmware builds starting in June 2014. According to JustAboutPhones, a leaked document revealed that Sony Xperia SP will receive Android 4.4.2 KitKat from June to July 2014 which somehow confirms the claim of Vodafone Spain that Sony Mobile is currently developing a new firmware for the smartphone.

However, any leaked document showing the roadmap of software updates can easily be faked, and takes more than just a piece of paper to prove. Users should monitor for Sony’s official announcement or additional information from network carriers which offer Xperia SP.

Other 2013 Xperia smartphones include Xperia C, Xperia L, and Xperia T set for Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update.

As of this time, Sony Xperia SP’s official Android 4.4.2 KitKat remains under investigation similar to Xperia T, Xperia TX and Xperia V. Sony Mobile is currently offering Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update for the device.

Factors of Eligibility

Sony Mobile cannot deny that Xperia SP is eligible for an Android 4.4.2 KitKat update even if it’s a 2013 smartphone model. In addition, most Android smartphones are receiving two major updates within the 18 months of software support starting from the official market release. Here are factors why Sony should give Xperia SP another major firmware upgrade.

Announced last March 2013 and was released on April 2013. It is only 13 to 14 months old using those dates.

Expiration date is expected to occur on October 2014 based on April 2013 release date.

Android 4.5 is coming out before October which means Android 4.4.2 will likely be its final firmware version.

Hardware components are compatible with Android 4.3 Jelly Bean which is heavier than Android KitKat vanilla.

Smart Social camera has been enabled in Android 4.3 and Sony does not have to import exclusives from Xperia Z2.

For those who cannot wait for Android 4.4.2 KitKat from Sony, check out the video below of Sony Xperia SP running the latest firmware via CyanogenMod 11.

[Xperia SP General] kaushal9119:
So i think thats it :(

No kitkat for our beloved SP:crying:
[Xperia SP General] ohmygel:
I am not sure with this, but i think xperia sp has a better specs than e1 and m2. How come that sony can't give us the update? I really don't understand why.
[Xperia SP General] antkalaitzakis96:
Next up, we’ll start rolling Android 4.4 KitKat for Xperia T2 Ultra, Xperia E1 and Xperia M2 (and dual variants) from July – we’ll be back with more details

Wait until July..No news for SP yet..just wait
[Xperia SP General] samarth05:
KitKat was introduced instead of Key Lime Pie. So maybe Android 4.5 will be Lolipop I guess..
[Xperia SP General] arifkpi:
Lolipop :D Ha ha ha
[Xperia SP General] Fat_boy555:
Simply because they are newer devices that's why they will be getting the update even though Xperia SP has better specs then some of the devices there.. Sony most of the time just abandons devices.. What's new?
[Xperia SP General] ohmygel:
I hope someday, sony will surprise us with a kitkat update. Still hoping until sony give us their final decision

So far 4.4 updates have been announced or released for:

2014 flagships

2013 flagships

2014 non-flagships

Logically then, 2013 non-flagships should follow...

I'm with [MENTION=5206325]antkalaitzakis96[/MENTION] on this; sit back, there's nothing to be done right now.

Guys still they are saying they have no information. look at this pic. :mad:
[Xperia SP General] Levered:
i want to mention again, please keep calm and wait till they fix bugs in 4.3 first.

dont ask sony on twitter or facebook, and they will answer same question because xperia sp still no plans to upgrade this firmware

btw, you're will receive ota new firmware soon.keep calm guys.i believe sony will release KK for our devices.
[Xperia SP General] Looser99:
LOL

I was thinking about not making any comment here because i have the ability to process simple information. And i am seeing the clear picture here that first, we will get a 4.3 bug fix update from sony and then within 2-3 months we will get the highly anticipated kitkat update. I understand all the childs complaining and posting the same questions and links over and over and over again but what i don't understand is that, what is the big deal about kitkat? Isn't getting a completely bug free 4.3 jellybean good enough? I know that um willing to settle for a bugless 4.3 update. Kitkat doesn't increase performance and sony's kitkat is visually a downgrade from 4.3 jellybean. At least this is what i think... But it is a matter of personal taste really.
[Xperia SP General] mrjraider:
There is one major issue here on the Xperia SP place:

- Doomlord says: No update

- Levered says: Keep Calm and wait sometimes we get perhaps we see an update

Other users are doing the same, one says we get one other says we wont get it.

Just shut up.. And come with proof.
[Xperia SP General] donk165:
Did anyone on a generic UK phone get the official 201 update in the end? Or were we totally forgotten about?
[Xperia SP General] ShinOrochiX:
No lol, I am UK generic and am stuck on 4.1.2 (sig), no sign of 4.3. UK is always last but this is a lot longer than usual (normally we get the update a month late).

i think sony dont mention sony xperia sp yesterday because for strategy market.

:cool:
[Xperia SP General] chetan_p:
I don't think xperia sp will get kit kat

Think with Sony's point of view, who will buy their new xperia m2 if users are getting a phone (Sp) with better specs,lower price and latest updates.

So according to me Sony's got to reserve a plus point of latest updates for m2

Just think, at first every one was sure that SP is getting KitKat.In between,Sony released M2 and we started to get signs from Sony that there will be no kit kat update. Sony will now be releasing kit kat for e1 and m2 not xperia sp.

Its my point if view, its your choice to believe it or not
[Xperia SP General] the1c3man:
I tried the rooted global .201, not as good as .254, .254 is smoother/quicker, the only problem i have with .254 is the weak wifi.

Happy to stay with .254 for a long time.
[Xperia SP General] chewlohseng:
For all the people that keep on complaining that Android Kit Kat isn't listed as available starting July 2014, feel the pain experienced by the Xperia C users. Until now they're stuck at Android 4.2.2, and we are getting the 2nd bug fix update for Android 4.3.

Also, we are part of the mid-rangers, other major OEMs won't even bother about updating their devices. Worse is Samsung Electronics, even flagship variants don't have official updates...

Keep calm, the more impatient you are, the later Sony Mobile will make available.

If you're so irritated, please use other Android 4.4.2 based ROMs.

#Kthxbye
[Xperia SP General] Cool Breaker:
Ya lets wait for a while until they release a new firmware bugfix build and after that gives us update on when we are getting Kitkat
[Xperia SP General] gbil:
So the plan for 12.1.A.1.205 is to be released by mid June.

The better news is that a few well known issues like Screen Flicker, Bravia Engine and above all the performance issues have been solved according to Sony devs.
[Xperia SP General] cnkhanh:
Nah, I don't think the M2 has better specs :D qHD screen, Qualcomm S400 chipset are much worse than a HD screen and S4 Pro.
[Xperia SP General] antkalaitzakis96:
that's what he said..people won't buy M2 since XSP has better specs..that's why Sony won't release 4.4 for SP and will for M2..because people will buy M2 for it's software and not for specs..and to say my opinion I don't think that it's true since there are many people who bought and still buy xsp..
[Xperia SP General] kaushal9119:
You are absolutely correct buddy.....SP was and still is the best midrange device according to me......i too hope Sony won't let us down

Guys, I do understand that you are awaiting this update, but 10 posts in a row saying "no update yet in <insert_country_here>" is pretty much useless, and it actually can be also seen as breaking xda's rules ;)

So, let's keep it clean and on topic now, right? :)
[Xperia SP General] qamu74:
Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!

and a new update tomorrow:good:
[Xperia SP General] zolaisugly:
This has got to be the most viewed and most quickly replied to thread on xda.

The update will come soon enough, stop with all the will it,won't it,

Sony will have there own schedule and it won't come any quicker than that.

The next question to ask is will doomlords rooting guide still work or not for lb.
[Xperia SP General] marsx1984:
No it's not. I have been on xda when everyone was waiting for the xperia X10's gingerbread update(that got delayed for about a month) and when the 2011 Xperias got the ICS update and I must say those threads were much bigger. Let the people talk , let them vent! It's a fun way to deal with the wait.
[Xperia SP General] davinci20:
its 31 December in my country and still no update but The T and V got certified and we will probably wait for them
[Xperia SP General] Depump:
Sony kidding me

:D
[Xperia SP General] wiidbzxt:
It's funny because nobody said it was going to release the 30th, just a guy who happened to make a partially accurate prediction. However, the only "truth" to it is that Sony failed to provide 4.3 on the EXPECTED release date (December). There's still a slight chance, since where I live it's still 30 and we still have 31st.
[Xperia SP General] Aadi:
I think they are planning to release the update along with xperia T/TX and Xperia V since both of them got certified yesterday I think they will release it today probably..
[Xperia SP General] saif1012:
There are less of chances of that because TX has not yet been certified! We might get it today but standalone! Xperia T &V's update will be released along with TX only!
[Xperia SP General] qamu74:
We hope that today is 31, we get the update:rolleyes:
[Xperia SP General] saif1012:
Yea I do hope the same, one more funny thing, the update which rolled out for Xperia l has not changed accordingly in the support page! XD

In my opinion sony 100% will update sp to kitkat..but it will be full of bugs and laggy.. Like x10 2.3 and v,t,tx 4.3 and others i dont know.. At the end of 18 months we will get a bugy kitkat update.. Its my opinion

[Xperia SP General] Kianush:
nonsense!

It's true that the first 4.3 update was buggy but Sony released the 201 bugfix update and it really did fix the bug and especially free ram issue!

and Im completely satisfied with this rom, the only reason I want kitkat is z2 all apps and system ui ON MY SP!:cool::cool:
[Xperia SP General] MixoMaxoViper:
4.4.2 on Sony's flagship phones is full of bugs,lags more stupid than us 4.3
[Xperia SP General] Looser99:
You are absolutely right. But i dont want kitkat only because of the changed lockscreen and changed status bar. Besides i very much doubt that we will get all the kitkat features of Z2 like double tap to wake and smart eye tracking. But we will hopefully at least get the answering machine and notification selection :cyclops:

---------- Post added at 02:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:42 PM ----------

Yup. And we will also get kitkat with hundreds of bugs but no bug fix support from sony due to the end of 18 months of support time period. In other words, we will end up like Xperia V,T and TX. And we will find no one to blame but us because we made petitions and forced sony to give us a buggy 4.4 kitkat update... :crying:

---------- Post added at 02:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:48 PM ----------

Speak only for yourself. 4.3 increased multitasking abilities by miles and created a very smooth operation throughout the whole ui compared to 4.1. The only important thing ruined by 4.3 update is the bravia engine. You think 4.3 ruined our phone? Just wait for 4.4 and then we will see that you think....:mad:
