Guys I might having a small problem here..I backed up all me apps along with data using the Sony back up and restore app.. After flashing 4.3 ftf I tried restoring using the same but isn't allowing me to do so since I jumped an android version.. Basically it's looking for a back up file of 4.3..

So I was thinking of flashing the 4.1.2 ftf again, restoring the apps and using carbon or some other app for backup.. Can anyone confirm if the backed up apps from 4.1.2 can be restored in 4.3 using carbon? How are you guys doing it? Is there any other app which allows this?

Updated

I just updated to 4.3 with an unbranded SP in Thailand via the Sony PC companion. However, that tool does not allow the update in Windows 8.1, so I made a VMWare with Windows 7 and updated from there. A bit scary but it worked. :cyclops:

As far as I can tell the communication with my Smartwatch 2 is a bit faster, hope it stays that way and not disconnects again when I use the phone for a while...

Update: after using it a few hours, started to see bugs. The camera app crashed often until the phone was restarted. Still a bit sluggish to start the camera app sometimes. Overall it's quite smooth and the font rendering is improved, but sometimes still stutters when scrolling. Also the photos app crashed when I tried to load my pictures from Facebook (out of memory I think because I have a ****load of photos).

The bug I had with the previous firmware that sometimes the screen does not light up when pressing the power button seems to be gone. However, the animation (transition from black to the background picture) sometimes loads slow, better than before I guess.

When I have the time I'll try to reset to factory defaults to see if it helps, haven't done that since I bought it.
[Xperia SP General] asish2006:
Flashed the Australian rom on my Indian sp and using it since 5-6 hours. Here are my inputs. --

Ram management seems ok to me.. Till now no slow downs or Walkman app crashes while browsing chrome or Facebook. Hopefully it remains that way. The rom is super smooth. I think I will stick with it for a while before I install nova launcher.

Wifi connectivity has improved.

BE does not work in album app.

Camera I am not in a position to comment.

Overall I am pleased with the update.
[Xperia SP General] knightazura:
hi guys...

already installed .266 AU Generic in my C5302, i'm in Indonesia and this my simple review after use about 6-12 hrs

- Fast? | Ya thats real, so fast than 4.1.2 and zero lags even already installed some core apps (more than 5) for me like whatsapp, twitter, etc

- BE2 Issue | Yes, its not works on Album app but dont know about movies because i'm not try it yet

- RAM | For me, worst than 4.1.2 Now free RAM always below 200MB :(

- Camera | (MAYBE) a little bit improvement, already try it with some conditions. Good things are about extensions campera app :D

- WiFi | Good job SONY :fingers-crossed: Improved a lot!

- UI | There some little bugs like progress bar at manual installing app, volume notification (restart for fixed it), NFC status icon

- Touch screen | For me, more sensitives than 4.1.2 but not a big prob :D oya, about lock screen now isn't annoying anymore

- Game | Not try it so much. Just Clash of Clans once and run smooth

[Xperia SP General] AudioAw2-12:
It's happening to me too. I installed cpu-z and it shows that the cpu is always running at 1.7ghz, and cpu load is always above 35% even when idling. The phone gets really warm after only 10 minutes of use. I've tried all the firmwares from different regions and they're all like that.
[Xperia SP General] Th3Duck:
My phone also gets pretty hot, only listening to music and checking forum.

Only advantage is that walkman doesnt crash anymore with chrome.

The old school quick settings annoy me, sony had to update those.

Also the white settings are little bit annoying.

And semi transparant status and navigation bars do not work anymore with NOVA launcher.

Found 4.1.2 better, better battery nicer UI.

Already rooted with locker bootloader. Thinking to unlock (again) and install CM.

For people experiencing problems with the new .266 firmware:

1. Did you use (a) PCC/SUS or OTA, or (b) Flashtool

2. Did you use (a) the firmware for your region, or did you (b) do the build.prop trick, then install a firmware for a different region?

3. Did the .ftf (a) match your phone's model, or (b) actually for another model, but it seemed compatible?

4. Did you (a) do a factory reset after upgrading your firmware, or (b) just keep using it?

If you answer any questions above with (b)... well, that might be the cause of your problem...

[Xperia SP General] The Alpha Gamer:
Do you really have to do a factory reset after every update?!
[Xperia SP General] HorNy555:
Y is a factory reset necessary after update??
[Xperia SP General] pepoluan:
Because this is a MAJOR update, from 4.1 to 4.3.

There are many significant changes from 4.1 to 4.3, not necessarily visible (i.e., changes in Android 'machinery', not interface). Apps might have to 'adapt' themselves to the changes via reinstallation.

Lack of RAM

Hi folks,

it's my first post here on XDA. I'm satisfied with my Xperia SP and with 4.3 update, but now my phone is a little bit laggy. I mean:

1) with 4.1 and these background apps: Facebook Messenger, Facebook, Lux, Accuweather, Advanced MobileCare, WhatsApp, default launcher

I had 200-250 MB of free RAM;

2) now, with 4.3 and only 3 background apps (Facebook, Whatsapp, Advanced MobileCare)

I have only 100-120 MB of free RAM.

I've just done a reset + restore from backup. At first, it looked like it helped, but then... My phone is a bit slow again, when opening/working with apps.

What can I do?

Thank you :)

Yes... And it is not working... The status bar does not show up and the system ui keeps force closing...
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] Androlover98:
Download Xposed framework and enable it.

Reboot.

Open build.prop using Root Browser or whatever:p.

Add these lines to it -

#Nav bar
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0

Download Xposed App Settings and enable the module.

Link- Click here

Reboot.

Change the DPI of status bar to 160.

Profit?:)

Simpler way-

Open build.prop using Root Browser-

Change the value of-

ro.sf.lcd_density to 160.

It will look like-

# Set Default LCD Density
ro.sf.lcd_density=160

[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] Androlover98:
It will, because tablets and phablets usually have a higher density. PA hybrid works on that principle.

SORRY- Tablet DPI is 160.
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] Tuneer:
So that means if I change my lcd density.. Then it should automatically such to tablet ui... Once I reboot it..
