Does any company release updates in time?

I've seen Nokia, HTC and now Sony. And they all made me wait.

I don't like Apple, but i guess, that they got much better customer service.
[Xperia SP General] dipesh1502:
I just now contacted sony

They said the update going to release on 29th February,2014

Keep waiting;)

Do you guys really still believe in an update?

This appears to be a fairytale and nothing more.
[Xperia SP General] NestorC:
When I just think that I could buy a ZL or ZR, and I have chosen this one, I just get ashamed... Really disappointed, just hope it will come until 14 Feb, maybe for them its still an early Feb until then...
[Xperia SP General] sanzNya:
If till 14 feb 23.59 still no update. I thnk update will never comes to our devices.. and i knw it will make HUGE impact to sony in da future...
[Xperia SP General] @Rakesh:
Now today this is end of early Feb...

Also sony need to change that 2014-01

atleast SONY you need to talk with XSP customers...

IF anyone know xperiablog or xperiaguide blog author please inform him to add post about End of early FEB..
[Xperia SP General] NestorC:
No, we need to inform Sony its time to put a new post about delay until March, they forgot about it..
[Xperia SP General] soumyog:
Root, unlock and see the magic.

There is no point of waiting.

Rooted and unlocked my XSP on 1st Jan, the very last moment when Sony couldn't keep their word (2013-12, hope you guys remember).

If anyone wants to know a complete guide for rooting -> unlock bootloader -> flash custom roms -> back to stock rom -> lock bootloader, feel free to ask.

Don't wait for these lazy Sony guys. They are too lazy and scared to update the support page and reply to their customers. :mad::mad::mad:
[Xperia SP General] AnnaDee:
I don't know about you, guys, but I have a slight feeling that Sony wants to get the Z line upgraded to KitKat, then release android 4.3 for SP, V. T, TX,.

I believe they are somehow regretting SP. It sold extremely well - too well that it surpassed the premium line. Maybe they are trying to hold SP back so they can differentiate the middle range to the premium/ flagship range.
[Xperia SP General] zakkkkk:
I think they've held us back enough don't you?
[Xperia SP General] Aadi:
Guys calm down there feb 10 isnt over yet usually they start rolling frm 2:00(UK) so chill out get a beer...
[Xperia SP General] AnnaDee:
Well, I don't think they care, do you?
[Xperia SP General] zakkkkk:
Maybe they do, they are fixing bugs and making our rom bug free after all.
[Xperia SP General] Sadman Khan:
So basically how many hours left to wait?
[Xperia SP General] AnnaDee:
2 hours on UK's Big Ben
[Xperia SP General] NestorC:
Bug free rom do not exist, dont dream about it my friend, lets just hope it wont have some big or annoying one...
[Xperia SP General] soumyog:
Do you really think they are fixing bugs?? They upgraded the Z line to 4.3 more than a month back. They even resolved the bugs of 4.3 Z line and released the new updates. Since the native (aosp) android remains the same all you need to is tweak (branding) it with your device and upgrade your device kenrel. They needed to work mostly on the kernel part, as they have successfully integrated 4.3 in Z line.

Actually they are not taking the XSP seriously might be cuz of some business strategy. I don't think any update is coming today.
[Xperia SP General] pec0ra:
Are you saying that the Z line model also had the camera, memory and Wi-Fi bugs ? And that Sony corrected then in the 4.3 release ?
[Xperia SP General] CallMeVentus:
Then you sit there and wait, or you could sell your phone and not talk in this thread further.

The more you guys complain about the update, the more it's only going to make yourselves angrier, as well as more desperate.

On top of that, people like you have been adding fuel to the fire by leading on the riots.

Unless you guys are seriously going to riot on Sony's headquarters, don't bother.
[Xperia SP General] Levered:
see update for xperia z too late...now only 4 region receive latest update....very bad...

i think maybe sony give Xperia sp update after all region xperia z update get latest updates....:(
[Xperia SP General] sco0ter:
Why are you people still going on about this. It has been confirmed that the delay was not because of Sony but because of carriers failing it. Just because Vodafone Australia now days it's ok doesnt mean it's been passed by any other ones. All of you moaning about Sony lying and blaming them are either to stupid to realise the truth or to dumb to read and understand this thread.
[Xperia SP General] sco0ter:
Vodafone au website had it on it saying it had failed testing and that's why more build were certified. Try reading instead of moaning and talking PISH! Read back a few pages and you will see the links. Try phoning and morning to your provider and ask if they have passed it for use on their network before you do anymore misinformed moaning
[Xperia SP General] Ungewiss:
No one ever told *why* and *which kind* of test failed. It could simply be some incompatibility with vodafone au specific software since the SP got ptcrb certification.

So stop insulting and start to read the text that is actually there.
[Xperia SP General] ZakooZ:
If it's not released in the next hour, it won't be today

For some reason I've lost all hope in an actual release by sony
[Xperia SP General] kwasiborek:
Those screams and tears about update are silly. Its just getting more and more pathetic. How old are you guys ?
[Xperia SP General] pm2lp:
No, you are the one who needs to read back a few pages because I've explained this before. I have friends working on a major mobile network and they always get the fws ready to be launched, they only put the brand's bloatware and test their branded versions, and that's what the vodafone AU testing is.

I'm not moaning, I actually think this is quite funny, (again, read back a few pages) I just think some guys here deserve to know what is really happening and who should they blame.
[Xperia SP General] shwethasaxena:
Finally!!

Finally...
[Xperia SP General] sco0ter:
Wrong. If Vodafone apps don't work with the firmware then it is up to them to fix it not Sony that is why different carriers can have different release dates because their apps bloatware is incompatible and takes some longer than others to fix it.

[Xperia SP General] pm2lp:
Ok dude, believe in whatever makes you happy, it's al peace and love with me. :)

For example, you think sony sent the Z 4.3 update to all the carriers, they all tested it and approved it in less than 24 hours, that's your call, you have the right to believe in that, like children have the right to believe in santa.
[Xperia SP General] kt82:

[Xperia SP General] Oblox:
Question for when the update does get released, I have a phone from EE (UK) would I need to wait for their firmware to be released or would there be a generic unbranded version I could flash?

I'm rooted with recovery installed but cant unlock my BL.

Thanks!
[Xperia SP General] ZakooZ:
You can flash unbranded

It'll be released around November probably
[Xperia SP General] Oblox:
Great thanks.

November which year? :p

I have patience as my phone works fine for me at the moment but I want to play with the new bits and pieces.

[Xperia SP General] J0kker:
One month or two ago, many people were wondering wether if they should buy Moto G or Xperia SP, now, there is one more point for Moto G.

This phone could have been such a killer with an ips screen, decent pictures treatment app (i can't believe we can't get more quality out of that camera...funny to have a dedicated button btw) and a better responsive update management.
[Xperia SP General] CallMeVentus:
You can get a Moto G then, no one needs to know that...
[Xperia SP General] neXus PRIME:
Yes please. Think about why u bought a phone with excellent build material/sdcard support, better proc/gpu/better music(apps+effects) and overall a good user experience(although not the latest) instead of the stock android moto g.

BTW, i think nexus4 is still miles better deal than moto g.

Lets all decide and post only if we have genuine news regarding update schedule... (my lame attempt at trying to keep this thread on topic.)

1. Improved camera - the current camera is piss poor. The clicked images get torn even on slight zooming in the image gallery.

2. Better ram management - its almost impossible to surf and listen to music. Have tried a combination of other music players and browsers. The music stops within a minute of browsing.

These two things if taken care if would make sp perfect for me. :D

Hi guys,

Tomorrow we expect the 4.3 Jeely Bean update.

Because I am from Slovakia, how long cca can i expect, i will wait for the update here? And does the fact, i have my Xperia SP from T-Mobile, affect when i will get the update?

I just realy can't wait for that, because this 4.1 is as bugged as #@!?.

It randomly freezes for 10 minutes, when i unlock sometimes the screen only glows black, wifi is simply horrible, and my previous Galaxy Ace has had much better photos.

Sorry if this is not the right post or if i harrass with some FaQ but I am really about to wreck this phone.

Thanks
[Xperia SP General] vieose:
