My modding days ended with the death of my HD2, thats why I got this over N4. Wanted a reliable, feature packed phone that looked and felt good.

[Xperia SP General] HorNy555:
Which country ftf have you shared [MENTION=4378188]jishneo[/MENTION]??
[Xperia SP General] Cawts:
Anyone got any news on UK update yet?
[Xperia SP General] sco0ter:
Yes..... It's still only for Vodafone.
[Xperia SP General] Cawts:
That sucks, I'm on Orange :(
[Xperia SP General] sco0ter:
Even worse I'm unbranded...
[Xperia SP General] Cawts:
Mine is generic even though it was supplied by orange, I mean it didn't come with all their bloat.
[Xperia SP General] sco0ter:
Then you will be included in the generic update rather than the orange one.
[Xperia SP General] Cawts:
How come Vodafone get it before generic, surely it should be the other way round.
[Xperia SP General] Derkz:
Guys in the UK or anywhere else,

Flash the Generic AU Version. Works fine + the only bloatware is McAfee which can be deleted.
[Xperia SP General] Sadman Khan:
The AU version has some problems and more bloat. Weighs at 812 mb. The Central European one is of 765 mb and works like a charm.
[Xperia SP General] sco0ter:
Not to bothered with the update. I well get it when I get it. Plus lots of problems with some of these roms
[Xperia SP General] Lucaviola:
One question, CE ROM seems the most bugless ROM here. is there FTF sepcifically for C5302? i don't want to flash from C5303 as it has some 4G things which is useless for C5302.
[Xperia SP General] niaboc79:
Guys do you know that all customizations are identical...

Placebo effet if you found something different!

Only bloatware apps and files in vendor/overlay are changing.

[Xperia SP General] vasugoyal:
I have a problem when i try to update my xperia sp through PC Companion it shows that the phone cannot be updated through this computer. Kindly update through previous version i.e windows 7 etc...
[Xperia SP General] ImAnurag:
you flashed this ftf https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B2X7ymHtp23-SXBEQWRhc0l0N0U/edit ? If not use it.!
[Xperia SP General] pionize:
ever had this problem before, I just close my PCC and start again and it work.. Update your PCC maybe?
[Xperia SP General] oneofthedudes:
New problem now, How do you install through PCC in windows 8.1 ? Any way around to download from PCC in windows 8.1 itself ? Some setting maybe? Noob so not very interested in flashing an ftf file. don't have access to Win 7.
[Xperia SP General] sco0ter:
Nothing you can do. 8.1 not supported, only way is vmware trial and download a vmware Windows 7 image and use that
[Xperia SP General] vasugoyal:
Will it really work??
[Xperia SP General] sco0ter:
Yes. Tested it on my xperia mini pro and upgraded that to 4.0.4 no problem at all. Sus also works perfect.
[Xperia SP General] kudusan:
Yes, bit scary but it worked :good:
[Xperia SP General] omidlolo:
any rooting method for LB???:confused::rolleyes:
[Xperia SP General] casouzaj:
I installed this ROM http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2628969 and my LB XSP is now powered by jellybean 4.3 and rooted.
[Xperia SP General] werk91:
Maybe updating through SUS will work on Windows 8.1. Normally it doesn't show Xperia SP but if you run it through compatibility for Windows 7 it's there and you can check for updates fine. I can't test if the updating works as the unbranded 4.3 is still not out in the UK.
[Xperia SP General] Kianush:
tried and I confirm it works fine
[Xperia SP General] speszial:
Here is a simple solution that involves Sony Update Service:

Install Sony Update Service (SUS)

Turn off your phone

Start Sony Update Service and select Sony Xperia M as your device

Pressing the VOLUME DOWN key, connect your phone via USB cable

SUS will say that Update/Erase Update can be done (in case there is really update)

Choose Update to keep your data

Wait an hour for the 750MB+ update to get downloaded

You will need to disconnect your phone and wait for "Android Update"

ENJOY 4.3 on Xperia SP through Windows 8.1
[Xperia SP General] omidlolo:
Thanks, what is the back but bug in this rom?:confused:
[Xperia SP General] casouzaj:
Well, it is currently based on the Australian release, but the developer promised, for this weekend, to release a version based on the CE ROM, which, based on many posts I read all over the net, happens to be the best official 4.3 ROM so far . I will, most probably, flash my phone again, then.

EDIT: have forgotten to tell you that in the current release, LTE, although being shown as available, there is. no Internet connection whatsoever. I have to turn 4G off, in order to have connection. It's not quite a show stopper for me, since my city is not covered by LTE yet.
[Xperia SP General] oneofthedudes:
While I am updating through PCC, there is this one step that is pissing me off, It asks me to hold the volume down button, I do so, since I do not have win 8.1, I just installed xp on Virualbox to update, set the driversthrough USB to XP, its irritating me now. Any idea how to do that ?

Finally updated Indian firmware via Sony PC companion!
[Xperia SP General] gokulkrish:
Updated via PCC in India so far good no pbz!!
[Xperia SP General] Kianush:
The back problem is also in CE rom but it doesnt happen very often
[Xperia SP General] ArunThazhathuveetil:
New album updates comes...............

i found the main bugs in the INDIAN version are.......

1. walkman led pulse

2. Direct press home button shows some blur or shrinked wallpaper (just only for a half sec, then it comes normal)

no more bugs in INDIAN version.
[Xperia SP General] @Rakesh:

just after getting it into charge while swich off by connecting through usb, i get this failure! this also creates errors in flashing! please help me dude!

i have attached the pics i spoke about! even pc companion doesnt recogonize me!
[Xperia SP General] pionize:
I think orange or blue or any colour is not relevant to any update..

if you directly visit ptcrb using link like this http://www.ptcrb.com/vendor/complete/view_complete_request_guest.cfm?modelid=23021, then you'll get blue colour..but if you go to ptrcb.com and select model (C5302, C5303, etc) then you'll get orange colour

I got the update in PC Companion.

I just Installed .254 FTF (wiped everything off) and locked my bootloader again. I got a prompt both in phone and in PC companion to update to .266. :cowboy:

And you know what. This version is much more smoother and awesome than any FTF available. :fingers-crossed:

RAM - 507MB used and 308MB free. :good:

Apps Installed - almost 30 user apps installed now. :fingers-crossed:

For me gaming is now better. Tried with some heavy games and they work like a charm.

One question though. I previously installed XistenZ v2 rom on my phone. is there a bug in that rom because of which I cant see people who are in whatsapp group? :rolleyes:
[Xperia SP General] ArunThazhathuveetil:
No BE support for album after update....

The new fw will be the bug fix... May be it will release on next month
[Xperia SP General] @Rakesh:
Bro please make .ftf and make torrent...
[Xperia SP General] ArunThazhathuveetil:
Here net connection is too low dear, Any way i will make it... I will give u the torrent asap.

One question to all, is background defocus camera app work with XSP? anyone tried?
[Xperia SP General] Alex.D76:
The feature "background defocus" is installable and working but till now I have not managed to take a defocused picture. It says permanently that the background cannot be defocused. But I don't know if this is because of me and my shaking hands or the feature itself. :eek:

now i seen new firmware will comes?

EDIT: I just report about music beat bugs...not all

Email:
[Xperia SP General] danlat1415:
Why is there no update in the UK? This is rubbish...
[Xperia SP General] sco0ter:
Maybe they will incorporate the bug fixes and release it then instead of releasing it then bug fixing a few days layer
[Xperia SP General] st3ch:
Is it worth updating at all, seeing only bugs posted isn't there anything good coming from this update ?

The camera on 4.1 is horrible, is it the same on 4.3 ?
[Xperia SP General] diolo:
Maybe they are preparing to release 4.4 for our phones? I saw this image on Twitter 3 hours ago.
[Xperia SP General] sanzNya:
If its true (about kitkat update for ours). I'll be surprised...
[Xperia SP General] ImAnurag:
Lol can't stop laughing it is just a album app update ( have already been released twice with written kitkat support in changelog )

XSP will get KitKat but not now only after Z Family gets the KitKat.
[Xperia SP General] sanzNya:
I knw that... its just album. I already have it on my update centre. Im on existenz 2.1.5 now... and yes. Its just album update...
[Xperia SP General] diolo:
I hope Its true... has anyone received the same update?

And someone knows if that update means that we are going to receive kitkat?

I bought this phone when the Support page showed 4.4 as the future versión, when they changed it I couldn't believe lol.

I think that Its not Fair to let us without kitkat, when the phone is less than one year old, and kitkat is already released.

And the most hilarating is that Im already on 4.1.2 Thanks to my great carrier Orange Spain.
[Xperia SP General] sco0ter:
It's the same as any other review. The only ones that bother to post are the ones that are annoyed or have problems. With every one person that doesn't like it there well be thousands that do. It's just the way of things. People are more vocal to criticise than to compliment.
[Xperia SP General] neXus PRIME:
Very true indeed.

If you ask me, i was reasonably satisfied with 4.1... some phantom touches were the main issue.

4.3, if you ask me honestly, is... O.K... not groundbreaking, but it improves every aspect of the phone from 4.1

and bugs are less... on the whole, more stable, and maybe a bit more RAM hungry, but its fine.
[Xperia SP General] st3ch:
And what about battery life, on 4.1 is amazing, is it the same on 4.3 ?
[Xperia SP General] Androidkeeda:
Its lot better than 4.1... I got around 3-3:15 hrs of screen on time of heavy usage and full day with mobile data on...

And same usage under this rom... And i got this..
[Xperia SP General] Androidkeeda:
And here is my screen on time
[Xperia SP General] Androidkeeda:
And here is ram management.... As the free ram is very low but still 4.3 is significant fast and smoother than 4.1.2
[Xperia SP General] neXus PRIME:
Don't use task killers please... Just root and freeze the bloat apps.... Task killers are way over rated plus useless

[Xperia SP General] AEdegre:
Hahaha I won't, at least I have one point when will it come, even it just a guess.
[Xperia SP General] Sadman Khan:
There's a lot to be expected from 4.3 update. Opengl es 3.0 support. Performance improvement. Bug fixes. Wifi fix. Black screen after unlock fix. Honami framework. Updated media apps. Better sound quality. Camera improvements. New kernel source. Better ram management etc etc. The list goes on and on. So yeah we are expecting a LOT from this update. Dunno about what we will get but this things are making us eager for the update. That is exactly why we are impatient. Lastly some of us love stock Sony. This is directed to anyone who asks "why so impatient?"/"what do you expect?" and questions similar to those. Thank you.
[Xperia SP General] flamingwolf6529:
good luck holding on to your expectations when the update comes.

well, i'm not trying to bother, just polling around, trying to take a grasp on what you people expect..

turns out my question is rather offending :silly:
[Xperia SP General] Sadman Khan:
Well you got your answer. And just so you know, i added the lines "this is what we expect. And i dunno what we will get" ... I didn't say that THESE ARE what we will get. So yeah i'm not "holding on to my expections"

This impatience is astonishing. Sony didn't even miss a deadline yet and people start complaining already.

Let me tell you what I experienced with my previous phone, a Grand X IN from ZTE. Bought it about a year ago with 4.0, early 2013 ZTE announced an update to 4.1 can be expected in March 2013. In November 2013, I finally sold my phone because there still wasn't any update and probably never would.

So, don't complain about a delay of some hours or days - it could be much worse.
[Xperia SP General] bsuhas:
Why dont we close this thread until the update is released? Mod? OP?
