Planning for moto g then go fo GALAXY GRAND 2 with very sharp display far better than our sp's garbage and have excellent Bettery life with 9 hrs "screen on" time with medium usage... I could have exchanged it if grand 2 has snapdragon 400 and and atleast adreno 320..

xperia z and z ultra got updates again( with some funny white balance setting)....

what the h**L is that sony?.... Xperia SP users are not beggars......
[Xperia SP General] claudio917:
Come on man... Galaxy grand 2? A huge and ugly phone with ridicolous and old specs which will never see kitkat? 9 hours screen time with medium usage? Give me a break...
[Xperia SP General] pm2lp:
That's unbelievable.. the update was certified yesterday :eek:

It just shows us that sony cares more about a minor and insignificant update for the Z line than a major for our SP, and that's just sad.
[Xperia SP General] caesar13th:
Let us hope that .266 is the last and of course the-most-stable-and-bug-free 4.3 fw, so sony can focus to update our phone to kitkat.
[Xperia SP General] AnnaDee:
I'm not even thinking of buying Moto G or Grand 2. Big screens aren't my thing and Grand also has a bad bad byild quality. AMOLED is deceiving, buddy. The SP's screen is good, except viewing angles which I don't care about. Battrry is good again. No reason to switch for me.

Buddy, in the most optimistic case scenario, KitKat will be running on our devices around August or September, this year. Think about it. They released 2 other phones a while ago. Also the entire Z series needs that KitKat update. It will take time, so hold your horses.
[Xperia SP General] Patrol619:
So this "carrier testing" is bull****. When new build is certified for us it takes so much time to testing it, but for Z1 and ZU it can be magically done in less than 1 day... I can't believe that.

[Xperia SP General] AnnaDee:
I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but that update was extremely MINOR. SP is having a MAJOR update.
[Xperia SP General] neXus PRIME:
We are bumping from 4.1 to 4.3

I think that's not the case for z or ultra
[Xperia SP General] klacenas:
Tonight or tomorrow night? If not lets wait for another 1 week. For the mean time I will just seat back, relax, and enjoy real racing 3, frontline commando, deer Hunter 2014 and temple run. Well those are just some of the hd games I can play smoothly with this phone. I still have plenty on my titanium backup :D

Edit: Oh! I forgot to mention, with my LTE SIM, YouTube hd videos are just awesome to browse with this phone. Thanks also to the 32gb sdcard slot, all my favorite TED Talk videos are kept handy in areas where only 3g and HSPA is available. :D
[Xperia SP General] pm2lp:
Major or minor the update needs to be tested, as someone said before even the smallest change in the fw can cause something really bad to happen somewhere else in the code.
[Xperia SP General] AnnaDee:
I'm subscribing to that, my friend. Asphalt 8 is rocking my SP.

All Sony did was adding the white balance thingy. There was no MAJOR change in the firmware, therefore there was no need of MAJOR testing. The SP on the other side...

I just want to be waken up just in case ota update comes in while im asleep! :D. (oh my god this update freenzy is making me crazy)
[Xperia SP General] zolaisugly:
And so the merry go round continues....

Sony is no worse than any other phone company, my wife has a Sammy and is still on same jb 4.2 with no hope of update to kk.

Remember when the update rolls it is still up to the airtime company's to push to your device, and sony have always said it will be a gradual release.

The update is not going to be a life changing event, you will still use your phone for playing games, checking Facebook, email,texts you never know you might even use it to make a phone call

the same will happen with the update you will still use your phone how you are doing now.

Like previous post stated chill/relax get on with life and when you least expect it the update will be waiting for you to install.....

Then all hell will break loose cause you lost your files, can't get root, game data lost etc etc etc.

My phone is going well don't have major issues, the only niggle is with WiFi but not that big an issue.

Enjoy life "drink, be happy, for tomorrow we die"
[Xperia SP General] AnnaDee:
Haha, we are like in a novel guys. Drama, intrigue, happiness, hate, love, anger. 'The Update', by Sony Co.

SONY and the Promised update

by: unpatience users
[Xperia SP General] PNuT.:
I have a moto g & a sp in the house & can compare the two.... they are in reality completely different devices though & I suspect aimed at completely different markets!

The moto g is lightning quick & battery life is far better than the sp.... for the money it is really difficult to fault it to be honest ;)

I guess I dont need to tell anyone about the good bits of the sp ;)

Personally I find the lack of development is the real issue with the SP....
[Xperia SP General] klacenas:
It's good we're learning to have fun right now. Coz after we get the 4.3 update (if we do) we'll all be screaming for Kitkat.... Again...Humans...

This is the answer... Nd it will get 4.4 update... And 1 more thing i wont upgrade or u can say "downgrade" to galaxy grand 2... 'll upgrade to lg g2 after a while..
[Xperia SP General] JetArmstrong:
People with Windows 8.1 have bigger problems. Even, the upcoming update hits, we can not update because PC Companion says so. From Xperiablog I saw a screenshot that someone update his Xperia Z Ultra in Windows 8. WTH, mid-range phones can't update in 8/8.1 but flagships can? I noticed that in SUS, phones like SP,T,TX etc are not listed. But the Z line is. I'm really disappointed for this. The only workaround is to find someone that can lend me his laptop to do my job and that will be a problem when everytime I want to update or flash my phone.(No I cant downgrade).
[Xperia SP General] Patrol619:
I won't be screaming about KitKat because I will be enjoying 4.3 ^^
[Xperia SP General] ZakooZ:
Well im pretty sure I updated my phone to .254 with PCC on windows 8...
[Xperia SP General] claudio917:
Yeah and did you notice that the smart guy instead of clicking on the screen sub menu paused the video and then showed you the marvellous 9hrs screen time? Maybe because it's a huge B/S?
[Xperia SP General] JetArmstrong:
What I get is a message windows says use windows 7. I got 8.1 FYI. Did you do something or nothing at all. I tried everything. Yesterday I tried to flash a kernel and I got Unknown Device. (Yes I installed the drivers and used Unsigned method still nothing).

No problem here. Using my phone right now while charging with "show touches" enabled. Are you using your original stock charger?

Thanks. I agree with this table. First week of Frebruary most likely.3/2/2014 or 10/2/2014. But Sony knows how to play with our nerves, so I wouldn't be surprised , if we get it at the end of Feb.

Here is Standby awesome, 3G 0,2%/h and Airplane 0,01%/h. But with screen on the accudrain is horrible high on lowest brightness. :crying:
[Xperia SP General] spix123:
But you don't use stock rom (or you have modified version) :P

With stock rom standby is really bad most of the time.. sometimes its okay at about 0.5% per hour with wifi + 2g.

If it was like this all the time I wouldn't complain but 2-4% per hour doing nothing is just too much.

When I'm using the phone lightly with screen on it drains about 1% every 5 minutes, brightness at 40 percent.
[Xperia SP General] heross:
I'm on stock. Please test without simcard, on my last phone the drain in standby come from a old simcard.
[Xperia SP General] spix123:
I've already tried without sim but it doesn't help, airplane mode doesn't either.

I remember your screenshots from before and you had 5 home buttons lol :)
[Xperia SP General] Ungewiss:
Off-topic: I use the latest stock rom and I don't have any battery issues. When I have wifi and 3g enabled the drain is like 1-2% per hour. If wifi and data connection are disabled I lose one percent every ten hours.

Camera isn't that much of an issue, only the poor wifi reception.

Maybe you should check your installed apps for malfunctions before complaining about sony ;)

So I'm just waiting for the update because I'd like to have support for bluetooth low power profile.
[Xperia SP General] spix123:
I have no apps installed. Pure stock rom... believe me I have tried everything before blaming sony.. actually I'm not blaming sony, I'm blaming sony and google :D If you read my thread you can see how much I've tried to fix this but the problem remains.

Can you post screenshot of your battery stats?
[Xperia SP General] Sadman Khan:
I have absolutely no issues with standby time. It's very good with stamina mod on
[Xperia SP General] spix123:
Stock rom? How much does your battery drain in standby?

What's considered very good can be subjective, people who charge phone every night this issue probably isn't noticeable
[Xperia SP General] mrjraider:
@ all

This is not the correct thread to discuss battery time and standby time please go to the Q&A and look there ;)
[Xperia SP General] spix123:
Well there's not much news about 4.3, might as well have a conversation about something here :)

You're right though, there's plenty of other threads to discuss crappy battery life in !
[Xperia SP General] anderledani:
Theory

I have a theory about the update:

The Z1 was certified on Dec. 9.

The update was released on Dec. 16.

The Z was certified on Dec. 16.

The update will release on Dec 23.

The SP (maybe T/V/TX) will be certified on Dec 23.

And the update will release on Dec. 30.
[Xperia SP General] dipesh1502:
Hope your theory goes right...
[Xperia SP General] mrjraider:
Dont hope to much just wait..

(But yeah lets hope he is right :) )

Dude, the update is not officially out! How can you expect a valid changelog? Look at DoomLord's leak to see the aesthetic change. All we know is that we will get that social camera and Xperia Themes...and MAYBE some bug fixes. The app2sd is not preseny in the leak version but many things can be changed in the final version. Don't ask for changelog now.

Lawl I cant believe some people actually buy a phone just for a update

And then sell it if they update gets delayed :-/

A huge waste of money if u ask me

Lets say u buy the phone for 350$

The phone will later sell for 300$ max ( only if u are really lucky)

50$ wasted on a stupid update

And sony still gets the money they want for the phone

So for sony, every way its a win win

And for u its a huge loss
[Xperia SP General] pm2lp:
Don't be silly, at least wait for the update like I'm doing. You've already waited 2 months for the update, can't you wait another week?

Imagine if the update rolls out monday with zero or insignificant bugs and with all the features we want? You would feel really dumb, don't you?
[Xperia SP General] Sahaab:
Lawl it will be funny if the update rolls out the next day after he sells his phone XD

I would be laughing so hard XD

Anywayz dont be haste, be calm and think with a cool mind, do u really want to let go of such a unique phone just cuz of 1 update

On second thought, y am I stopping u XD, plz go ahead and sell ur phone, ba-bye
[Xperia SP General] Robin>Hood:
I almost totally agree on what you said. But... unique phone? What's so unique about the XSP?

every phone geek shud know that all phones are unique :D

Edit : plus i love this phone , actually i loved my previous xperia phone as well ( Arc S )

IMHO i think xperia is best and that updates shud be given but it doesnt mean that they are the only thing to get a stupid phone

if all u want are updates, get nexus
