so now I see that there would be no kitkat for the SP...those m*therf*ckers...

eh atleast I paid 110 pounds for it...and it's a very nice phone...didn't expect this though...

just wanted to say it somewhere

No-one.
[Xperia SP General] Bares:
Yaay....please make sure it wasn't made by sony, cause it will buggy and laaaags :eek: .... and you will missed the target :D

I think, it's not for SONY, it's just to remind us that sony was cheating their customers on SP (and other sony device???).

People complaining Sony (useless) , and they aren't complaining signatures :eek:, btw who care sony anymore ??? :cool:

Scammy, pardon me, Sony reports $1.7B loss in smartphone business, thinks midrange models are to blame (prob sumtng about not charging buyers absurd moneyz for half-products). Let us all rejoice at this news :highfive: :good: :fingers-crossed: :laugh:

[Xperia SP General] westlandmb:
I think this will work out for Sony and the users... Take less smartphones and the could be able to update them for a longer time. Nowaddays only flagship phones has good support. If you see how many models there are from 2013.... Maybe they will be also be able to sell the phones for a lower price..
[Xperia SP General] UsernameWasTaken:
I don't think it will be better for anyone that way. Especially after the 6 months cycle announcement. Even top models will get left behind really fast.

According to gsmarena, Shoddy made a total of 9 phones in 2013. Compare that to:

Samsung's 54,

troubled Nokia's 25,

LG's 33 and

even constantly declining HTC made 22 phones that year.

Not all were kept up-to-date, sure, but it still takes time to develop software for all that diverse hardware. And Scammy can't make an effort to support their 9 for 18 short months Google proclaimed, despite all of them share much of the same hardware. And even after a public promise to update one of those phones to the latest Android version, which they failed to fulfill and which certainly made some people choose that phone over some other. For me, that kind of "business" needs to go into the ground.

Wait, that's not right! Mention it as much as you can. We, the buyers, have to stick together, otherwise we'll be ath the mercy of the worst kind of company conduct. Share the informations, SPread the awareness, expose deceiving companies whenever you can to as much people as you can and boycott them.

I know this sounds revolutionar-y, unfortunately, it is the only way to make things better for ourselves.

Does the fact that we won't get kitkat affect our chances to get CM12 in the future?
[Xperia SP General] Farooq95:
We might get it but it won't be as good as cm11 as it is running on stock kernel using some tar hack.
[Xperia SP General] Jeik:
Why wouldnt it be good on LBL?

We know that it will take some time for devs to sync the tar hack with the android L,but when they do,it shouldnt be full of bugs.

I dont think that Android L is made only for high-end phones.

Kit-Kat for low-end phones,and L should be working on low-end phones too.

Feeling abandoned? feeling disappointed with Sony? One way or another we have to move on. Now enjoying the feeling of receiving an OTA update on a DAILY basis. Or shall I say nightly basis:

Yes if you have an unlocked bootloader
[Xperia SP General] feromgar:
How is gaming on CM11? Is better than stock?
[Xperia SP General] klacenas:
Then I think that's what we need to do next at least. Ask Sony to provide a means of unlocking the un-unlockable versions of SP. Petition?
[Xperia SP General] Farooq95:
Guys of locked bootloader just flash PAC but before that root your phone.
[Xperia SP General] MrSteve555:
They won't do that, even if the whole planet was begging for that.

They are saying that fastboot is locked because of simlock - if you had fastboot on a simlocked phone, the first thing you would do is to get rid of the simlock(at least that's what Sony thinks).

Right now, as the "great Sony support ended", all the devices with locked fastboot are like they got cancer. It's unoperable, and it's just a matter of time before the phone dies at the software side. We can't even do anything about it.

Google Now Launcher?

Are you guys able to install the Google Now Launcher from the Play Store?

My SP is running on stock 4.3 but for some reason it says that the app (the launcher) is not compatible with my phone? Google have made it available for all devices running 4.1+.

(I know I can side load it-but that is a different matter :cowboy: )
[Xperia SP General] klacenas:
3d performance is way smoother, ram management is also better, so i'd say yeah overall there are significant improvements in terms of gaming

I am not retarded,but if they can port touchwiz to a 1gb RAM featured phone,why can't SONY give proper resources so we can do the same thing with Sony 4.4?

I mean,we have epic devs too,dont we?

And our phone is anything but thrash that cant run Kit-Kat with heavy smoothness.
[Xperia SP General] iirisa:
Sony's latest announcement about quitting mid-range device production, makes sense that they would not update SP. I just wish they published this earlier. I would've definitely bought another phone.
[Xperia SP General] Jeik:
That is what I meant.

But some people call us cry-babies.

If you were promised a quad-core phone,payed 100$ more,and got a dual-core variant,wouldn't you complain?It is the same thing,but this feature is software.

I am looking for a way to trade my SP for the S3.They cost the same in my country,so I should be able to do so without paying some extra bucks.
[Xperia SP General] Gamm86:
Very bad comparison if you ask me.

Anyway, the decision has been made... Get over it and move on.

Continuously moaning about it won't change a thing.

Good luck with your S3!
[Xperia SP General] Jeik:
Thanks,Samsung gives what it promises.I really hope that I can do the trade,or at least sell this and buy a note 3 clone :D

yes, I thought about galaxy s3mini, s4 mini is still good phone, In my country it costs ~ 450$ and sp ~ 220$, so its different lvls xD

I just saw some rumors pop up a while back stating qualcomm dropped support for the s4 pro (8960t) these are still some vague rumors but it could be the reason why we are not receiving a kitkat update
[Xperia SP General] UsernameWasTaken:
Those kind of "rumors" always pop out in situations like this, but more often than not it turns out they are totally baseless (unless we're talking Mediatek, which we are not) and it purely phone's maker that's to blame for no update.

Let's take Transformer from your sig for a perfect example. It runs the exact nVidia's Tegra 3 variant as does Asus Nexus 7 2012. While N7 was updated to Kitkat, your T300t topped out on 4.2.2, despite sharing the same maker (but not the seller and maintainer).

AFAIK, Qualcomm is not perfect, but is arguably the best when it comes to releasing product drivers (leaving the possibility open that SP's fate is, in fact, Qualcomm's doing).

Although XSP's SoC isn't a popular and widespread as some, the truth is all those chips don't differ that much. Usually, all are cut out from the same silicone wafer and what separates them is the ability to be stable at certain frequencies. AMD did something very similar with its 3-core x86: those that had a defective 4th core had it disabled and were sold as 3C CPUs, while those that did fine on all fours were regular QC procs. Furthermore, writing drivers for alike products often involves just very minor, slight changes, as does adapting drivers to variants of an OS.

In conclusion, I'll maintain that the blame for not receiving a promised update to KitKat remains solely with Sony.

Why do ppl insist on the same answer over and over again when there's moto X with kk 4.4.4 and will get L in the future, same hardware, only difference is 2gb ram compared to 1 in xsp

...and I bought another SCAMMY product!

No matter how much I hate them,HTC mid-rangers(except for Desire 816) are ugly as sh*t with their 5 cm borders,and Samsung is too cool to give a mid-ranger a decent screen ppi,RAM and camera,so I have no choice! :D
[Xperia SP General] ShinOrochiX:
Lol, to be honest your right Sony's mid range devices are the best out there (even though they don't get the software they deserve), and taking into account my budget I am likely to stay mid range. I think it is best to wait for now, the M2's specs aren't great and it'll be awfully lucky to get android L. Maybe an Xperia SP2 or an L2 if there is to be any in the future.

Currently enjoying CM11 on locked bootloader, a million times better than Sony's stock 4.3.
[Xperia SP General] Jeik:
I am all horny on Xperia 4.4,it is one of the main reasons I bought the M2(+ the UniBody design).

It should arrive tomorrow or on Monday.The M2 isnt all bad.The only flaw is the 230 ppi screen,which can pass at me.
[Xperia SP General] QBerto:
crap screen.... NOPE.... the screen is not bad, is just that size, with that resolution (and resulting in that ppi ofc) result in a... weird experience, more if u come from a HD resolution like SP

Sony will never make a phone like SP, crappy mid-ranges from this year prove it xD

I was thinking on my next phone could be MotoG 2nd gen.... have better specs than MotoG (that actually are great today, like SPs), stereo speakers, SD slot (that was my main 'but' from 1stgen), HD screen and is f*cking cheap... This is not in plan "hate sony blablabla", actually I love xperia phones, but this time motorola is doing things right, better than sony imao.... one thing I have to mentalize is lost of sony apps xD (walkman, album, BE/xreality mainly)... but near-stock android from motorola is better than other cuztomizations for me...
[Xperia SP General] xAD3r1ty:
LOL, i love people that buy new phones just because of Android updates, like what the hell :) Now my question is, What are you going to do in kk with your new phone that you couldn't do with XSP ? Exactly :) people just get mad because they don't have the "latest os" I got sad too, but meh, whatever, developers here are great , that's where xda comes in.. everyone gave up just because we didn't get kk, look at s3, didn't get kk but they simply don't care, they have great developers who offers them more than sammy, so why, for now im quite happy i have a phone from last year that is still better than today's mid range that come out, and ppl who just drop it because of software are meh, a disgrace for the honor of our phone, no offence :)

Thread should just be locked, as this is getting into a flame fest :)
[Xperia SP General] TechnoSparks:
:( bro actually I don't give a damn about stock ROM. it made my life miserable. But the the blobs, and other required stuff, will ease developer work on making their ROM a lot more stable.
[Xperia SP General] xAD3r1ty:
Exactly, that's why i wanted kk, i'm not a developer but i knew it would make things easier for developers to port L easier and maybe an android future update, I was just disappointed for people who drop an excelent phone for an android update. because i can't believe on any other reason, but w/e

You try to act so cool,and try avoid flaming,yet you insulted people.

It is shallow of you to think that people who are not like you are below you.

The 4.4 update would not only be a pleasure,but help to the developers(as other members mentioned).

No one buys a phone just for 1 feature,and you have no rights to call people who can buy a new phone the disgraceful ones.

My SP had a big scar on its aluminium stripe,which made me change the phone because i don't want to buy the SP again.

We will never have such excellent developers like on the S3 forums,as no one wants to buy the SP anymore.

The SP lacked something I desired,so I chose another phone.

And just for my,eccentric satisfaction:A 16 year old kid legally bought a brand new LG Optimus Me-150$,Xperia X8-150$,Xperia Mini-200$,a 2 month old,second hand Xperia SP-150$ and the brand new Xperia M2-250$ with his OWN money-900$,not from his parents or family.

I have every damn right to buy a phone I want ,every damn year,and a irrelevant forum member has no right to degrade someone who didn't do anything wrong to him.

I am pleasurably leaving these forums and members who don't want the quality for the money.

No offence :)
