Alright:

Ive contacted Sony Netherlands and they said we need to follow the support page. The rumors aint true according to them.. So this month we will see 4.3 :)

---------- Post added at 09:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:03 PM ----------

Update:

I am a sort of chatting with one of the crewmembers. Ive shown him the screenshot on page 5 :)

I'll try to get as much intel as i can

I have written a question to Sony Mobile Facebook page about possibility of moving apps to external SD on 4.3.

I'm waiting for the answer.
[Xperia SP General] mrjraider:
Well Sony Mobile NL said we will get the update..

So I hope that they are right :)

Xperia Z has just received 4.3, it's not official yet, it is kinda release for journalists, but the fact is that it is finally beginning :) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2565584

ZL too http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2565529

Z received the same camera UI as on Z1, so there is a little hope that we will get that too :)

Sony engineers are busy enjoying the new year forgetting about the update

I think even we should do the same.
[Xperia SP General] pec0ra:
We have here a nice thread to quote to show to people why ETA should NEVER be given in the development world. People are too naive and can't understand that things don't always work as you expected and that updated can be postponed for a few days. That's also why Sony don't give precise information regarding the date of the update. It's because otherwise people will complain if it isn't due the day and the time they said.

We are here in a developer forum. If you can't understand this "no ETA" philosophy and don't have the patience to wait for an update you have nothing to do in this forum.

So please stop posting in this thread unless you have something interesting to post !
[Xperia SP General] lee480:
Who cares if Sony is one step ahead in terms of sales compared to HTC, BB and Motorola?
[Xperia SP General] Sadman Khan:
Why do you have a 0 in your name? This might interest some people around here.

Why did Sony say 2013-12 if it wasn't meant to rollout at this time? If something went wrong, surely it's not too much of a hassle to change 2013-12 to 2014-01 or something like that. That's what we are saying. ETA was given, and should be followed. If something happens, change the ETA. Did they do that? NO. So false hope would obviously trigger some dissatisfaction. Happy new year bro. You clearly don't care that much for the update so just light up some fireworks and have fun ;)
[Xperia SP General] dghostpt:
I was talking about software and updates. :cool:
[Xperia SP General] Patrol619:
Sony finally said something on Twitter:

Xperia SP@Tapatalk 2
[Xperia SP General] Rubecula:
Ok admittedly I have had the SP just for a few weeks now, but the service I got when my Vaio notebook was broken was excellent. However now I think about it they were a little slow with providing updated drivers when Windows 8 came out. But then again they didn't promise a Windows update for my model at that time. Later the Windows 8.1 drivers where available right at launch (or even earlier), so this is nothing to complain about.

I still think it's just a little unfortunate that they said the update will arrive december 2013 while it won't. But if this means they take a bit of extra time to fix a few extra bugs (just to make it perfect), I'm happy to wait. They didn't miss the ETA for the Xperia Z and ZR and as [MENTION=1494652]sadman[/MENTION] Kahn said, I shouldn't be too much of a hassle to change the ETA, right?
[Xperia SP General] NestorC:
So no update in 2013 ? Dont understand, delay for today until late hours, or delay for Januar ? :(

[Xperia SP General] pepoluan:
This. 100% this.

After rooting the phone + install Xposed + GXmod Extender, this phone is almost perfect for me.

(Oh, I also installed "App Settings" module for Xposed, and made Walkman 'persistent'. It now never closes even when browsing -- as long as I keep open tabs 3 or less; more than that, it's a gamble)

I'm quite content to wait for 4.3. I'd much prefer a late but bug-free ROM than an early but bug-ridden one.

[Xperia SP General] Zenderable:
Hello!

I'm talking to Sony! ;D

Agent David: Yes, in effect the roll out of the update started if you haven't received it yet is because software updates are released at different times depending on operator, country and purchase date. Therefore, we cannot give you an exact date for when a specific update will be available for your phone. The roll out started, it this does not mean your specific phone will get right away but it means we have started the process of releasing the update

So, update?!
[Xperia SP General] heavyhms:
No, mirror climbing :)

Support agents more likely are not informed of exact time of rollout

[Xperia SP General] Aadi:
If the rollout has started as he says then it must be updated on the sony blogs but there is no news of it yet.

I had a LG optimus 2X before the XPeria SP and we were waiting for an Ice Cream Sandwich upgrade. LG made us wait about one year saying every month that upgrade would be for next month.

I hope that SONY will be more respectfull of customer ;)
[Xperia SP General] noahvt:

I appreciated that at least they gave a statement about the delay on 31st dec itself..
[Xperia SP General] boylush:
At least they mentioned something , not keeping customers in the dark. Perhaps they were trying to release ASAP by december , but unforseen circumstances like sudden bugs that needs fixing needs time too. Think again , do you want a almost bugless software or a load of bugs preloaded in 4.3.
[Xperia SP General] Saelex:
For me the answer is much simpler: SONY overextended themselves promising unrealistic software updates for more than 5 different models of tablets and mobile phones.

And ofcourse they allocated time, money and resources to the teams taking care of the updates for the more expensive Z products, while forgetting that SP is the cash cow that brings sales and revenues.
[Xperia SP General] thealmightypro12:

[Xperia SP General] User013:
It's better to take some extra time and give us stable and bug free 4.3 than releasing it in a hurry with lot of bugs. On the other hand they shouldn't promise us update in december if they knew they are going to be busy with updating Z series.

[Xperia SP General] lionboy12:

[Xperia SP General] ZakooZ:
The problem is that they already certified the firmware, which means they're just delaying the release of the same firmware with no new fixes because new years, or they found a major bug that they are taking care of and that will take probably 2 weeks minimum to be released since they would need to certify another firmware
[Xperia SP General] Aadi:
Guys it's not about bugs. I think Sony's planning to release 4.3 for our device along with Xperia T, Xperia TX, Xperia V but only our device T and V have been certified TX is not yet certified guys. So i think Sony is waiting for TX to be certified and then they will release the update.

But i feel confident, XSP is kinda popular, they just can't let it die like that, i hope they'll take their time and release a good shot, what's the point in crying to get it asap and then complain because it's not good enough...

View attachment 2491485

On the basis of this tweet I don't think we can expect it monday either. Otherwise I think they would have known by now, right? By "the update to 4.3 for the Xperia SP is programmed" they probably mean the development is finished. We are definitely waiting for something else like the TX getting certified. It's a pity they don't just release it for the SP in that case :( However it could indeed be there's still a lot of strain on the servers for the Z-update.

I'd like to know sony's definition of "soon". We might think it means within the next week, but it might be a month or even longer in sony's dictionary.
