Any news about the new android 4.3? I hope it will address all the bugs in the first 4.3.
[Xperia SP General] ongkhel:
hope the new firmware will fix all bugs in 4.3
[Xperia SP General] silveraero:
Update will hit Xperia Z next week, and maybe SP will have update at the weekend. Both are QMR 4.3. I think after this update, we will have another update to fix the remain bugs in the list because the QMR 4.3's in testing scheduled before the bugs list was sent.

I think first of all we should wait for this existing crappy 4.3 to get a bug fix update :P and then think of Kitkat 4.4 ;)

I dont think you are the only one who thinks like this ;) I was using samsung Grand before this (the old crappy one) , but no wit seems like that way way much better than Sony.
[Xperia SP General] wiidbzxt:
Chill guys, Xperia SP is still "under investigation" according to the support page, and I feel that the page has been updated recently, since Xperia ZR (which was "under investigation") got it's confirmation for the Kit Kat update. I personally am not too optimistic, and I'll hopefully get a Moto X in a couple of weeks, but let's wait for the final and official word.

SP: http://www.sonymobile.com/in/software/phones/xperia-sp/

ZR: http://www.sonymobile.com/in/software/phones/xperia-zr/
[Xperia SP General] quetzalcoatl2435:
The way I read this whole "Under investigation" thing:

Future version - some android version planned for this phone.

Under investigation - android build ready and is being tested.

Next version - confirmed to get this version.

So actually, I think the SP has been upgraded from being a plan in the imagination of SONY execs/management/engineers to an Android build that's actively being tested.
[Xperia SP General] ohmygel:
Sorry to interrupt guys, i am on android 4.3 and because of slow performance, i made a factory reset. After resetting, an update appeared for album(which is known to me) and an update for walkman. For those who are in 4.3, can you please look what version of walkman was installed in your phone. I will post screenshots later.
[Xperia SP General] reinearl:
My album version is 5.4.A.0.20 and my walkman version is 8.1.A.0.3. :good:
[Xperia SP General] ohmygel:
Is this the latest version of walkman? Before i reset my phone, there was no update for walkman but after the reset, an update appeared (8.1.A.0.3). I thought it was a new update that fix the illumination led

doesn't matter for sp owners who will root their phone, but a realy bad restriction for all other users that want to upgrade to 4.4, when it's released for the xperia sp. hopefully root will still be possible on 4.4. :eek:

Before upgrading to KitKat, be wary of SD card restrictions
[Xperia SP General] ZakooZ:
Root will be possible the same way its possible on 4.3 at the moment. Sony can't break the method. But I'm not looking forward to 4.4 at all. It only removes features

[Xperia SP General] Gamer R:
A CM10.2 based Honami firmware ported for Xperia SP should solve most of the problem.

Porting honami firmware on CM10.2 won't be a problem. Our kernel is based on Sony framework , so there wont be any compatibility issues. Also , as CM10.2 is taken as base, I think the performance of the overall ROM would be alot better than stock.

[Xperia SP General] xywtez:
Imo its better for them to release 4.4 even if its buggy, if they release stock 4.4 even with bugs, modding community will be able to make it work like it should. I myselfe skipped 4.3 and waiting for any 4.4 released for sp to be able to make it " under my" . Yes i have LB and i dont want to use customs like CM. I just want any 4.4 Sp release to start making rom for me l,and making 4.3 for 1-2-3 mc is just a wast of time. I buyed SP because there was a 4.4 for sure, and again sony is playing games with us. I had a choice nexus4 or sp i picked up sp and now i think that i am going to regreat this choice for next 1,5 year if they dont release any 4.4 for sp.
[Xperia SP General] MixoMaxoViper:
XSP is much better than NEXUS 4

[Xperia SP General] ParvSharma:
I have just switched to CM10.1 Instead of this crappy 4.3.

[Xperia SP General] MagicMagicD:
As one of the (un)lucky few that's still stuck with JB 4.1.2 and a long time user of Sony (Ericsson) phones even I'd be surprised if we don't get 4.4.

If you look at the 2012 handsets, both the Xperia S and P were supported with software updates for around 18 months (slightly less in the case of the Xperia P, but that was more than likely due to the chipset being the ill-fated NovaThor U8500). Even the Xperia T is currently receiving 4.3 and it's right at the end of its 18-month support window having been released in September 2012.

The Xperia SP will be 12 months old in April 2014, so based on the above, we should get another 6 months before being put out to pasture, which takes us to October 2014. Given that 4.4 has started rolling out to the high end devices already, that should give them (just) enough time to work their way through to the mid-rangers.

That said, as a long time Sony (Ericsson) user I'm always prepared for disappointment! ;)

[Xperia SP General] krump_lee:
yes, and we have great developers and their are makeing great stuffs, to solve sony's fail, so folk, lets hack your phone, i do not care about the quarantee, a have used my stock for a half year its time to change :D

do you have locked bootloader? you can try the great bagyusz's work
[Xperia SP General] QBerto:
Srsly guys, why so drama

The french page, we don't know what build are they talking about, and what are that guys? a carrier? a seller?, also only says OTA update so I could think is just the .266 for the phones they're selling

Then, in this looooong thread, a lot of times has been proved that support guys known NOTHING, just answer all questions with templates or something like that, and a lot of times, when we're asking, they're looking for info in the official pages, so is useless

Also, One does not simply use memes incorrectly lol (I think socially awkward penguin could be better there xD, but don't worry this is offtopic xD)

Yeah, It is true and is dissapointing that look like sony engeeners dont' know how to do the things, but that's the difference between ppl that make a job by obligation (sony), and ones that work by pleasure (developers here e.g.), so there's nothing to do, sadly, because sony moved on with the Z, Z1 and now Z2 after SP....

A lot of times has been said that when u buy a phone u don't buy updates, and that is true, so keep that in mind, stop the drama and wait for Sony (or flash a custome frimware, or buy a new phone there's a lot of options)

Also, the most of u based all this all the time with no official source, while sony says nothing, there's nothing that can be considered as true, so keep that in mind, stop the drama and wait for Sony (or flash a custome frimware, or buy a new phone there's a lot of options)

I know, I know this is the topic's thread, but just act a little more mature, not like childs looking for a lollipop
[Xperia SP General] sanzNya:
Im on unloked bl phone. I was doing unlocking bl procedure. Just 3hours after i get my xsp. Its easier to me to play with my phone if its unlocked. ;)
[Xperia SP General] ZakooZ:
Some carriers skipped .266 and are going straight for .192

This already happened before (with .245 and .254)
[Xperia SP General] QBerto:
yeah... well... they're not saying anything about what update is (so is just sppeculation)... also I'm not in that carrier, and my SP is not SFR version, and I guess the most ppl in here has no SFR version so that announcement is invalid, and that was my point, is a carrier, not sony for what are u assuming things

And just to make sure, I'm not saying sony release update before or after or 21th april, just saying we don't know what sony is doing (and sources like that [w/o specific data, not like vodafone for example what says specifically '4.3 fix' or something like that] or support chats SSs gives us nothing) , and the only thing we can do is wait for a 4.3 fix, or a 'end version' or kitkat announcement or wathever sony's planning
[Xperia SP General] krump_lee:
really thank You mate, but someone's device (for ex. mine) says NO for unlocking, i know, You do not know that feeling :D :D :D

but thans for Bagyusz now i have amezing CM10.2 on my locked XSP
[Xperia SP General] MH-Droid:
When i wanted to buy this phone locked at support page and i saw that a kitkat update will be avaliable for my phone.. It was one of my reasons to buy.. And now it's my right to have kit kat because i spent money for that..
[Xperia SP General] QBerto:
we don't know the meaning of under investigation state, again... and I'm not saying the update will or not will come, again....

Also, u have a Sony signed paper saying 'u get 4.4 for sure'? yes? go ahead u have POWER u can sue sony if they don't give u 4.4; no? well..., nothing can happen, there's no warranty what is put in there canbe true (yeah, if u want Sony is the one who is wrong), and maybe they loose u as a customer, but there's a lot of ppl giving him €599-€699 for the new xperia Z2, so they don't care.... so keep that in mind, stop the drama and wait for Sony (or flash a custome frimware, or buy a new phone there's a lot of options) (I should put this in the sign lol)

Also, I'm not saying this is ok, and actually hate that 'business vision', but sadly this is how it works, and there's no point to get upset when sony says nothing about... well, nothing with the SP at least
[Xperia SP General] mrhnet:
Don't you think this is reason for this "drama" (as you say) here? Even that petition is asking for a clarification about this.. If Sony is clear in their language about what they "promise", much of speculation could be lessened IMHO.

Anyway, big companies like Sony care much about the profits than the customer. So, dramatizing an issue might sometimes send the message across to them. It's upto the consumer to decide how to react, imo.

Well.. I think it's a balance between releasing early/hasty updates with many bugs or taking time for testing in order to iron out the bugs.. Sony hasn't got it correct either way it seems.. lol
