You do realize that Cyanogen has quite a few bugs right?

I don't think many understand this, but the leaked firmware is actually nearly complete. There is however a serious bug, a broken NFC. They obviously cannot release this firmware, since the chance of people crying and complaining is almost certain. Yup XDA forums included.

Other small bugs such as app crashes and some cosmetic issues should be easier to fix. But fixing NFC is going to be difficult.

I have no apps installed and spent ages trying to solve it. 100% certain its caused by android, no other possibility.
[Xperia SP General] MagicMagicD:
It's worth mentioning that the next update for Google Play Services (v4.1, not yet released) has a fix specifically to reduce battery consuption with location services enabled, so it may not be necessary to do this in the near future.
[Xperia SP General] laviyaeh:
Sorry that i will destroy your hopes, but play services is the most draining app on my xsp. And I installed 4.1.31.

Hello,

I have à question : if a personne who have the 4.3 make a ftf firmware for flash on flashtool. Can peoples who have a locked bootloader be in 4.3 ?
[Xperia SP General] vite74:
No, ftf will be possible only when official 4.3 will came..
[Xperia SP General] clewis:
Or someone developers a Rom for locked bootloader with the leaked android 4.3 Rom, they would need to base it on stock kernel so could be hard but not impossible.

The trouble is that each developer only to deal with the UB and LB from the lay:(

Blue color is back, so it means that they will certify a new firmware soon or what? :confused:

EDIT: But now, i have orange back...so, what is this?!

There's nothing new

1-2 weeks will not be
[Xperia SP General] lmhuser:
But, they said "WE, CUSTOMERS, WILL GET IT IN DECEMBER". December has gone and I haven't this update. So, they wasn't sooo transparent.
[Xperia SP General] zolaisugly:
Come on guys this constant whining about "the update should have arrived in December, Sony are liars, selling the phone, constant calls to call centres etc"

is not going to get the update any quicker, plus it is getting very boring reading post after post all saying the same.

I can understand the frustration the delay has caused.

The fact that is no info from Sony doesn't mean we should start being all child like, in out actions or our words.
[Xperia SP General] Revontheus:
I concur, this is getting a bit out of hand :D

Hopefully in month or two Sony will update the device.

Until then, it stays in my drawer.

Thanks for repoting the 2 petition threads guys.... But go and see twitter now Sony New Zealand has given a probable ETA... so I think petition is working now...I am waiting for a reply from SonyXperia...
[Xperia SP General] Sahaab:
Well good

I can now wait in peace
[Xperia SP General] lee480:
It's not working. They gave an ETA because it's Sony NZ's due processes. Sony doesn't care about worthless petitions, fortunately.

[Xperia SP General] GtrCraft:
That is just an answer, I don't see any reference to the petition
[Xperia SP General] Aadi:
Yeah that's just an answer but they didn't tell even that before after creating the petition and spreading it we got an answer what we think was due to the petition.. And yea one more request always don't be negative and find faults in everything. Instead be positive and try to give everything a try if it's a success no problem if it fails well I would think i have learnt a lesson and try not repeat the same mistake again. Please support when someone does something instead posting negative reactions
[Xperia SP General] mrjraider:
About your petition; on most communities you need to ask permission to create a thread to share it.. (most of the time)

About the answer; I hope they are lying I mean two months later than Sony has intended? They need to fix some serious bugs..
[Xperia SP General] bolzass:
I, and many others (1400 are not all the XSP users), agree with GtrCraft.

Why you say that is a negative reaction?, HE is being realistic. You cannot suppose anything just because you want it.

Please, stop spamming here (use the thread you created) and let people express his opinion.
[Xperia SP General] Aadi:
I think that they need to fix some serious

bugs...

Lol ok bro chill... I feel its like negative reaction we can achieve only by not being realistic.. Sometimes we need to think aprt from being realistic...ok this is off-topic...
[Xperia SP General] aursta:
Yeah all sony team fixing bugs two weeks.

Ant niaboc allready fixed it, as he says in his existenz thread.. So wtf sony
[Xperia SP General] vite74:
From Xperia blog:

New firmware 14.2.A.1.124 certified for Xperia Z1 and Xperia Z Ultra
[Xperia SP General] mrjazzit:
I'm disappointed for the delayed update, but if they removed the certified firmware some serious bugs were found and they need to fix first. I'm happy for doomlord to working on the leaked version so he can fix all these bugs Sony don't consider important for a stable release (I think he is a unofficial Sony developer). so guys no matter there is to wait, in a couple of weeks we'll have a good release. just let them work
[Xperia SP General] GtrCraft:
It's better to be realistic than be childish and thinking it is happening because of you.

The mods didn't delete the petition thread without a reason. It's because it's not allowed
[Xperia SP General] Revontheus:

[Xperia SP General] mrjraider:
About time Sony that you came with an official statement.

So guys, now we all have our answer can we please stop with this complaining and demanding?
[Xperia SP General] GtrCraft:
With stop spamming and thinking that they said it because of the petition. They don't care about that
[Xperia SP General] Aadi:
Lol chill bro.. I am expressing my ideas and views like you expressed...and yea truth is hard to digest how many of you guys think its due to the petition...
[Xperia SP General] kaushal9119:
Yeah....lets jst wait it out a few more weeks...
[Xperia SP General] lee480:
Stop being delusional. It's nothing to do with your petition. It's something XDA, Sony don't give a nickel about. Only a childish little boy will have such shallow thinking, keep posting stuff littered with imagination.
[Xperia SP General] Patrol619:
Their site has been also updated:

KitKat remains. Good :thumbup:

[Xperia SP General] Aadi:
Read my petition and see the pic i quoted [MENTION=4704767]lee480[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4566771]Patrol619[/MENTION] did you sign the petition??

I clearly stated in my petition that their support site was not updated. The petition i said:-

To:
Sony
Dear Sony,

Please provide us with the information regarding the delay of the release of 4.3 update for Xperia SP,T,TX,V and also the ETA for when we will receive the update. Please update the support pages of the above Xperia models it still shows Next Version Jellybean going to be released in 12-2013 which is misleading. We request you change your support pages for the above devices and show the correct information.

We are asking this because we as your consumers have spent our hard earned money on your device so we have the right to know what's going on regarding the development process for our devices. This petition is in no way against you. We are just asking the information regarding the delay and also the ETA for the update.
Sincerely,
[Your name]

Please read the above and then tell me.

They could have just left by saying something and leave the support site untouched like they did previously. But this time they changed it that also.
[Xperia SP General] mrjraider:
It doesn't mean because you asked it in your petition Sony did it.

Sony is working on the supportpages since they have some new devices.
[Xperia SP General] Aadi:
Dude the new devices support pages and forums were created 2 days ago... :P
[Xperia SP General] claudio917:
Can somebody stop this guy?? I mean ok I signed your petition also, but seriously I don't think sony moved up for that.. However, if this is not true and sony saw the petition and thought to tweet that ETA I say thanks, but now stop acting like a national hero, nobody will give you a medal for that!
[Xperia SP General] Aadi:
Hehe lol.. Dude I just said the petition worked these guys made me comment... Not me I would have remained silent after that...
[Xperia SP General] mrjraider:
How hard is it for you to understand (please dont get me wrong) that your petition MAY have nothing to do with the statement of Sony? We have been asking Sony over and over and over again about the update. If the chatsupport, twitterfeed and facebook wall are full with questions: WHERE IS MY UPDATE? I can guess Sony is answering them via one statement.
[Xperia SP General] lee480:
Since petitions are forbiddened in XDA, all things relating to that should be purged and cleaned from this thread.
[Xperia SP General] GtrCraft:
Haha of course it didn't. Sony doesn't care about a childish spammer who makes a petition after 2 weeks of delay
[Xperia SP General] Aadi:
Lol go ahead report me because thats the thing you will do next...
[Xperia SP General] eagleeyetom:
Move on please.

[Xperia SP General] AnnaDee:
Come on... stop this guys. Chain Hacker didn't say rgar he is responsible for getting the update or something... PROBABLY Sony saw the petition and MAYBE this is the reason they updated us. Let's end it here.

On the other hand, it is good they updated us. Hilope they will fix anything that needs fixing before end of February. Now let's patiently wait.

[Xperia SP General] Aadi:
Good then... Its settled... Finally...
[Xperia SP General] Virt2al:
I want to ask...

What exactly is going to be the new things in this update?

Will the battery life be extended and the applications eating up the RAM be reduced?

And I was also wondering will you be able to install apps on the SD card or do we still have to use alternative methods?
[Xperia SP General] Saelex:
Let's hope they're not lying again... this time. Not that SONY has a good track record on telling the truth.
[Xperia SP General] Aadi:
They are fixing the battery and ram but the app2sd thing not sure...:confused:
[Xperia SP General] sanzNya:
I hope app2sd ''bug'' will be fixed..
[Xperia SP General] zakkkkk:
Xperia T is apparently getting it. Hopefully we are too.
[Xperia SP General] bartmw:
On Facebook someone shared that link:

http://www.xperiablog.net/2014/01/1...XperiaBlog+(Xperia+Blog)&utm_content=FaceBook

It said that update will be end January/ start February
[Xperia SP General] Sahaab:
Good job bro

Btw I talked to tolerado about the thread before

Im sorry but he is right about closing the thread as it is off-topic, we cannot talk much about OEM's, sorry but chain hacker we shud not get away from following rules bro

And we are allowed to talk bout OEM's to a certain extent like ftf files and etc but that is too far
[Xperia SP General] Aadi:
I know he told me the samething. I apologized to him for the inconvenience caused. :) :D
[Xperia SP General] reinearl:
good news guys! i've just read a while ago via xperia blog that sony has announced the release of 4.3 for sp will be last week of january to first week of february. :good:
[Xperia SP General] Draqula:
Could we agree on not making any posts here unless there is actual news on the subject with a link to source?

There is no point in making "Has anybody heard... etc" posts ... believe me, if anybody hears something, they will post it without question.
[Xperia SP General] Revontheus:
Last week :eek:, oh man they should just release Kitkat sometime in the middle of febuary
[Xperia SP General] Patrol619:
OMG. Did you read at least five posts above you?

[Xperia SP General] Sahaab:
Kitkat will never come that early for our devices :-/
[Xperia SP General] sourabhp:
I think before Sony release official 4.3 update with all bugs fixed, our great developer Doomlord will release 4.3 version for both BL :laugh:
[Xperia SP General] Sahaab:
Ya but the leak is buggy

And I dont think it will be so easily possible to run a custom kernel perfectly on 4.3

I know keiren is working on it, but his way will never work perfect
[Xperia SP General] nasroed:
What bug did you mean? I'm using leak version now. With many customization, latest media apps, gravitybox, doomkernel, and they works perfectly so far

Yea i know this rom has ram issue. But, i didn't find any annoying trouble. Smooth and stable..
[Xperia SP General] Gamer R:
According to me, Kitkat will arrive on October 2014 i.e.. the last month when Sony will support Xperia SP. After that it is time to move on to Cyanogenmod
[Xperia SP General] Aadi:
I think we can expect kitkat a little sooner because Z1 got some new builds certified which everyone think is 4.4.2...
[Xperia SP General] Aadi:
Guys,

I have attached the old PTCRB page and the new one. I found four new builds added when .256 was removed and most of the builds were certified on the same day. Please have a look for yourself... :rolleyes::confused:
[Xperia SP General] Patrol619:
Guys i have quick question: does unlocking bootloader format internal SD Card? Because I want to do that, but i have a lot on internal SD and backing it up will take ages... I want to try CM 10.2 today;)
[Xperia SP General] Sahaab:
Hmm I dont know

Many ppl were complaining in thread

---------- Post added at 06:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:39 PM ----------

The devices are diff
[Xperia SP General] dipesh1502:
Yes it does format the internal sd
[Xperia SP General] GtrCraft:
I am sure we will get kitkat after the Z got it, like right now with 4.3
[Xperia SP General] mick232:
Sony would be much better off with the "Scotty approach" - tell everyone the update comes in March, then surprise everyone by releasing it in January or February. What they currently do is quite unwise.
[Xperia SP General] GtrCraft:
There was a bug that was needed to fix, those thing can happen
[Xperia SP General] mick232:
Exactly - and that is the reason why it is unwise to give an ETA that doesn't allow to fix bugs in time. It's not that bugs are totally unexpected, is it?
[Xperia SP General] GtrCraft:
They are sometimes, and the Z(1) update is a bit buggy so they are preventing that
[Xperia SP General] dipesh1502:
Dont worry guys

Patience will pay;)
[Xperia SP General] GtrCraft:
Indeed, I smell a kitkat :P
[Xperia SP General] Siddhesh:
And hope we find a rooting method too
[Xperia SP General] GtrCraft:
Isn't survival mode in SuperSU an option to keep root?
[Xperia SP General] Sahaab:
It is but it probably wont work
[Xperia SP General] GtrCraft:
Because? It always worked for me
[Xperia SP General] Rubecula:
Please don't start about KitKat already, haha :eek: By the time KitKat will arrive on our device I think we have to wait for a newer Android version to be released... Just kidding, I hope KitKat will arrive as soon as possible too, but let's enjoy 4.3 first.
[Xperia SP General] Sahaab:
U will be going from 4.1 to 4.3

I believe kernel will be changing as well
[Xperia SP General] zolaisugly:
Unless doomlord makes a fix I can see we have root the way we do at the moment using a hackable kernel, root then flash correct kernel back again.

Guess we will just have to wait and see how or what doom can do

Sony is one LAZY and GREEDY bastard, they might just use there time and efforts on manufacturing new phones (where the real profit comes:D) than updating OLD ones...and with the latest blog, damn...i won't be longing for that day tough...they said it once, LAST WEEK OF DECEMBER?!? and NOW, another bulls*** for updates coming LAST WEEK OF JANUARY? Sorry for the words:angel: Enough said:mad:

But come to think of it...if they're delaying the 4.3 update these long...how much longer would it be if it was for the Kitkat:eek:

I don't think that we really need kitkat that much. 4.3 brings TRIM. That has potential to make our phones running better. From the other hand if they don't fix memory management and few other things it will still be crap

http://www.xperiablog.net/2014/01/16/xperia-sp-android-4-3-firmware-build-12-1-a-0-263-certified/
[Xperia SP General] MagicMagicD:
And given the optimisations in 4.4 for low memory devices we can be fairly certain that 4.4 will be even better.

I imagine the stand out feature of the next release of Android will be 64-bit support since we know that Samsung is releasing a 64-bit Galaxy S5 and other manufacturers are heading that way too. All of which is good news for us as the XSP will probably be out of the update window at that point meaning that we wouldn't be missing out (too much) on stuff that would really benefit us, e.g. memory optimisations from 4.4.
[Xperia SP General] Sadman Khan:
Well 4.4.2 was worse than 4.3 on Nexus devices so i'm not too sure about that. 4.3 performed better but if Sony can optimise it well, kit kat may outperform 4.3 . Honestly i'd be happy with a bugless 4.3 as it is actually very good :)

Guys;

News is conflicting. One website says next week, the other says next month. Wait and see. I dont think we want 10 pages with links to websites that says that the update comes in the upcomming millenium...
[Xperia SP General] pm2lp:
All this news have the same source, a simple tweet from sony that was posted pages ago.. so please, check the source, if it's the same I suggest you keep it to yourself.
[Xperia SP General] UltraWelfare:
I agree with [MENTION=4715675]mrjraider[/MENTION].Be patient and wait for it!
[Xperia SP General] MagicMagicD:
I didn't realise that was the case; my understanding was that the changes in 4.4 allow it to use fewer resources, which as far as the XSP goes would be a good thing as the 1GB of ram seems a limiting factor with Android these days.
[Xperia SP General] pm2lp:
It depends on the optimization and the device itself, the Moto G runs faster and smoothly on kitkat.. same thing can happen with our xperia sp, sony devs have to work on it hard enough and not put it on the background, 'cause if they do, we must as well just stick with 4.3.
[Xperia SP General] zolaisugly:
My n7 doesn't run as good as 4.3...... tried custom Kernels,custom ROMs etc don't see what the fuss is all about, will be happy just to stick with 4.3 on the sp
