:laugh: lol ^^

I actually never had any problems with ram management, not when browsing, not when listening to music, playing games etc. never. :)

Maybe because I was on CM?
[Xperia SP General] Ungewiss:
I don't have any problems with Ram management on stock Rom either. Walkman never crashed on me or stopped without me wanting it.
[Xperia SP General] antoyn:
After flashing back to the kernal in the zip, the ram problem gone. However, I have found that there's a bug about white balance, the WB value will reset to default automatically at every boot no matter what custom WB value the phone is at before.
[Xperia SP General] lanluckez:
What zip? Tom zip or advanced kernel zip?
[Xperia SP General] Aadi:
Guys this is a news thread please stay on the topic.... Don't deviate...
[Xperia SP General] dipesh1502:
So the update expected tomrow?:-S
[Xperia SP General] anderledani:
No, I think earliest is friday, latest is 3rd February.
[Xperia SP General] Aadi:
You can expect it tomorrow because its Monday and Sony never fails to make Monday exciting for the past two months... ;) :P
[Xperia SP General] Levered:
no, i expect this wednesday we will get it..

:silly:
[Xperia SP General] kaushal9119:
It vl rollout on d 27th Jan guyzz...jst my guess....1 weeks wait and dat vl b it.
[Xperia SP General] kingofmb:
More delay means more improvement from leaked, its my assumption ...
[Xperia SP General] Aadi:
Ya thats for sure.. I am expecting improvements from the leak version and till 9:15(IST) PTCRB pages were orange.. But now its blue still there is no certification for TX...:rolleyes::what:
[Xperia SP General] pm2lp:
We are all assuming that the last version certified is going to roll out.. unfortunately that might not be the case, expect it by the end of January/ first week of February, worst case scenario.. that way you will not get frustrated.
[Xperia SP General] Ungewiss:
The pages were blue here all the time. Never saw them in orange.
[Xperia SP General] lukaskonvica:
I saw them only in orange :/

p.s the video was funny

p.p.s we are getting off topic so lets stop

but please we should not be rude here on xda, if you do not understand, please ask kindly for an explanation
[Xperia SP General] Robin>Hood:
Hehe :D

I agree. Allthough this thread is kind of hopeless but funny ;)

I know, but some people here are bad at English and when they need to decrypt his degenerate English well, that might not work. It seemed to me the guy would have been able to write normal English, that is why my comment :)
[Xperia SP General] Sahaab:
that is true, only reason for me to constantly check this thread is if anybody gets the update it will be posted here :D

and about the english that does seem true but not everybody needs to know what his comment was

anywayz we are getting way too off-topic

but to be honest, i cant wait for the update XD XD
[Xperia SP General] antoyn:
Either the kernal in the zip or the advanced stock kernal

Good news! :D

Accidentally Sony's support page for software updates revealed the dates of update for xperia z, zl and zr also the tablet z!

In the support page it revealed the date to be 19th December(that's tomorrow!)

So after the Z line of xperia, next will be us.

android 4.3 to january

this is another confirmation from Hong Kong support that the process will be postponed to january, so guys try to access sonymobile hong kong and ask them...
[Xperia SP General] Rasik199:
As all of us hav been patient for months for this update..... A slight chance in delivering want hinder anything....so Relax n go about ur everyday business..... When the times right will get it! :thumbup::D:)
[Xperia SP General] Aadi:
I have attached the talk I had with Sony UK support seems like hong kong thing is wrong :thumbdown: there is no news yet. I think as soon as update for Z series releases ours will be certified and the update will be released before christmas.. :D
[Xperia SP General] redaotrosh:
all of us we hope that but maybe it will differ from one country to another?
[Xperia SP General] Aadi:
Yes it will but dont worry it will be just a few days... If america gets it on 25 all other countries will get before 30..,:thumbup::D
[Xperia SP General] redaotrosh:
we hope that, since waiting is boring and until now there is now any leaks for the new update
[Xperia SP General] Robin>Hood:
It really is hilarious how people on here are just speculating and hoping for this release, it will not make it come any faster guys :D

It will be there when it's ready......You will know right away.

Have fun spending your time hoping and wishing for this update :P
[Xperia SP General] aursta:

My Sony contacts recently told me they're going to postpone it until 14th February, with a Valentine's Day theme surrounding the update announcement.

[Xperia SP General] mrjraider:
For some reason (no offence) I dont buy it.

We keep hearing three times:

- This month

- January

- February

I dont buy any of them and I keep on bugging Sony with my annoying questions because I want answers :)
[Xperia SP General] pm2lp:
Apart from 4k recording and time shifting, which we, and every other device available right now, will not get for obvious reasons.. I don't see anything else that the SP can't handle, officially or ported.
[Xperia SP General] pedramgolchin:
Surly xsp can't handle 4k recording, but i think that it can handle time shifting, if you believe that it can't, please let me know WHY?
[Xperia SP General] pm2lp:
We might get video recording in a higher frame rate, but not as high as in this new model... it will probably go up to 120fps, and I believe the xperia sp's SOC can't handle that, if they bother giving us the slo-mo option, it would probably be limited to 60fps. I say this because the Moto X has a similar SOC, motorola invested in this feature and the best it can do is 60fps at 720p. But I don't imagine sony changing the app with a fps limit, so I don't believe we will get it at all.
[Xperia SP General] antoyn:
The adreno 320 gpu is too weak to handle 4k video
[Xperia SP General] Sahaab:
our camera is waaaayyy too weak for 4k

there is no way we can hope for 4k video

but rest we can

timeshift maybe we might have a problem with fps but prob not
[Xperia SP General] ArunThazhathuveetil:
Smart backlight control

We need Smart backlight control in our sp on 4.4 update....

but i think our xperia sp will get the android kitkat version on 2030......:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:
[Xperia SP General] nasroed:
Haha..

Agree. Can't imagine on kitkat release, seeing this 4.3 suck release
[Xperia SP General] Gamer R:
4k video cannot be supported because you'll need atleast a 12MP camera.

But 2k video could be supported via changing the values of a file which is there in the system folder.

I had a Galaxy Y earlier which had a sh*tty Broadcom processor with no open source libs available. I had managed to get a 720p video recording via a 2MP camera. It was laggy. So after playing with the values I had gone down to 480p video recording with no lag whatsoever. The camera app had to replaced with a new application (which in this case I had installed lgcamera) which could support video recording at higher resolution.

So, earlier it had QVGA (320x240) video recording which was later upgraded to 480p video recording
[Xperia SP General] anderledani:
2k is the same as 1080p
[Xperia SP General] Sadman Khan:
2k is better than 1080p though quite close. 1080p is normally 1920x1080

Whereas 2k is 2560x1600 or something like that but definitely higher than 1080p

is this true?
[Xperia SP General] Aadi:
Nope not true... The regional support page as well as the official blogs has no news of the rollout...
[Xperia SP General] pm2lp:
We all understand that, obviously a new firmware version takes a lot of time to be ready... but, sony already knew that when they gave us the ETA, the process didn't change during that time and they didn't start making smartphones last year, they've been in the business for quite some time.

What is done is done, they failed, they didn't delivered what they promised and now it's time to move on, no need for lame excuses.. lets just hope the FW is bug free and that it actually arrives in the next few weeks.
[Xperia SP General] MagicMagicD:
The only thing Sony did wrong was give an estimate in the first place -- anyone that's worked in commercial software development on a remotely complicated piece of software knows that it's practically impossible to pin down when something will be 100% ready; 80-90% yes, but 100% is a whole different beast. Sadly businesses can't work with unknowns like this and so sooner or later a deadline will be handed down and from that point on you just have to hope that nothing goes wrong, which clearly wasn't the case this time out.

Yes they failed to deliver, but they never promised anything, they haven't given any excuses, lame or otherwise and I think we're all smart enough to know that when the 4.3 update lands it will have bugs.
[Xperia SP General] Robin>Hood:
Sir you have managed to add some reason to this thread and therefore *applaus* lol. (No sarcasm intended!)

It's just that a lot of people do not understand this nor have experience with deadlines in development/production.

But looking at the activity of this thread, people either learned somethig: patience is virtue, or they just don't want to frustrate themselves.

And of course, some people undertand the process :)

Let's just hope with the KitKat update people are a bit more understanding, we will see by then ^^
[Xperia SP General] pm2lp:
So what's the point of a deadline if you can't meet it? That makes absolutely no sense, in my company if we're late on something we hire extra temps and do extra shifts, that's how things should work.. not the other way around. The software needed to be ready weeks before the deadline, so if there was any problem they had time to fix it in time for delivery..

About the 2nd paragraph, an ETA is a kind of a promise, and the "excuses" that I mentioned were the posts about the upgrade process.. and the bugs, well, I really hope the fw doesn't have any of the problems we have right now, I don't ask for anything else, just that.
[Xperia SP General] Draqula:
If you work in a potato picking industry then you can "just hire extra temps and do extra shifts".

It's not that easy in software development. If you want the product to be bug-free you have a pretty steep learning curve.

So yes, in the long run Sony should hire extra people if it fails to meet deadlines but it's not a quick and easy fix. In addition to that every company is trying to bring costs down (now more than ever before) so hiring extra people is also difficult to achieve.
[Xperia SP General] MagicMagicD:
Exactly, and as an outsider looking in I would say that this was caused less by lack of resources and more because of overcommitting the ones they had: they are releasing updates for the Xperia Z, Z1, Z1 Ultra, Tablet Z, ZL, SP, T, V, TX, ... (any more I forgot?) all within a very small window.

Even assuming a lot of the actual development was shared across multiple devices due to similarities in the underlying chipsets, each one still has individual requirements (SP being a great example due to the illumination bar), not to mention they will each have to be tested.

Going forward (I hate that phrase) I expect Sony will either limit the number of devices they update at one time or they will have no choice but to scale up their development/testing teams. As mentioned above though, all businesses are trying to reduce costs and Sony has been struggling with unprofitably for many years now so convincing management to bring in more staff will be a difficult sell.

what would happen to the other sales of other Sony Phones if they give SP, 2GB of ram and a removable battery option :)

But I think Z1 Compact has it all

- Cortex A15 Quad 2.2 snapdragon 800

- Adreno 330 and Triluminos 4.3" HD display

- 2gb ram and 20.7 MP camera , IP58 Certified

hi,

Colors at PTCRB get blue right now as below link, so maybe any new certificate will be release or removed

http://www.ptcrb.com/vendor/complete/view_complete_request_guest.cfm?modelid=23022
[Xperia SP General] Aadi:
When a build is removed or certified the color will be orange...
[Xperia SP General] fsyh95:

---------- Post added at 03:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:30 PM ----------

the color of the background or character?
[Xperia SP General] Aadi:
Characters... Sorry and ya it always remained blue for the past two days....
[Xperia SP General] fsyh95:
I've never seen it was orange.what does blue mean?
[Xperia SP General] Aadi:
The characters turn orange when a new build is going to be certified or removed and it turns to blue when its certified or removed
[Xperia SP General] fsyh95:
263 always in blue:)
[Xperia SP General] Aadi:
Not the characters in table the model name and the stuff which is not inside the table will be in orange...
[Xperia SP General] fsyh95:
so,next few days,will we receive the update?
[Xperia SP General] Aadi:
Maybe maybe not depends on sony...
[Xperia SP General] dontknow773:
nope that means the fw shall be certified soon. certification and release are 2 different things :)

I know they are different;)
[Xperia SP General] dontknow773:
Okay, just was not sure, because you said maybe we will receive the update.

And as we all could see, certification does not mean we will get new FW that soon
[Xperia SP General] anderledani:
The colors are just meaning, you have seen that page. Try to open the page on an other device, it will be black/blue.

Next monday is the last of January, I assume we can call it end of the month.. The fw usually is released on a monday so the other option would be the first monday of February, day 3.
