We don't need this update. This might be another buggy update from Sony. Its lot better to try various kitkat ROMS with most of the bugs fixed available now.
[Sony Xperia L] DeusEx211:
I hope that in 4.3 update they will fix the god damn focus problem on camera, that's the only problem, altough not a big one in stock firmware that came with phone.Actually i reverted back to stock first 4.1.2 JB as other updates were crap.Even more they made more problems like touch is less responsive and also sound was reduced and many more.So SONY stop screwing with us and give us a god damn usable update or if not try improve the stock one.
[Sony Xperia L] lee480:
4.2 maintenance fix not 4.3. Sony don't usually upgrade low and mid-low ranges more than once. Considering Xperia L is the second cheapest Xperia phone in 2013, have fun in 4.2.

Guys, do not believe unverified online articles. Being a follower of Sony phones, online articles are the most unreliable source of upgrade information.
[Sony Xperia L] przemek4113:
We will see :)
[Sony Xperia L] DeusEx211:
Didn't understand what i said?That every other update after 4.1.2 build 15.0.A.1.36 for me is crap?I specified that they add even more problems then fixes and also the camera quality decreases.So no 4.2.2 for me.I reverted back to 15.0.A.1.36 and i will stay to it untill i get KitKat offcial on my Xperia L by SONY.
[Sony Xperia L] lee480:
Wow. Rude boy. Yes, for you is crap, but it doesn't blanket to other Xperia L users. They can roll another 4.2 update to fix existing bugs in the current 4.2 build. I fully understand what you said. If you're hoping for 4.3/4.4, get a high end smartphone.
[Sony Xperia L] aryaputraz:
for now, i hate sony.

why sony didn't relase the 4.3 or 4.4 ?

Only upgrade from 4.1 to 4.2 and will never upgrade to 4.3 official :laugh:
[Sony Xperia L] Droid-V:
I read somewhere that Sony will provide an update to 4.3 for Xperia L, Xperia C and Xperia T in June or July , will be the last update for this devices , I think its true ...

[Sony Xperia L] lee480:
I think It was mentioned several times the information and the source of it is unreliable and unverified. Going by past trends, it's unlikely Xperia L will be further upgraded..

Do you guys know how to read articles?? The source of the information all came from the exact same website.. Seriously..

Im just sharing,no offence :)
[Sony Xperia L] filip.kosut:
Looks like 4.3 :)
[Sony Xperia L] Bolonjez:
Seems legit, waiting for Sony to make it official :)

I want it to be true, but let's face it, it can be easily photoshopped...
[Sony Xperia L] filip.kosut:
Of course... But from sony's fb Brazil page?

[Sony Xperia L] id202:
Yup, as they photoshoped "superior camera" of this crappy phone. Let's hope at least that they will cleanr bugs of this phone - whatever android version they will use.
[Sony Xperia L] Bolonjez:
:good: :good: :good: :good:
[Sony Xperia L] Noomaan:
Could be true.

It looks legit.

Sony will release 4.3 for our device.

Why wouldn't they?
[Sony Xperia L] Bolonjez:
Yes, it looks legit, I hope we will get it. BUT, if that is on Brazils page, why didn't anyone get it already even there? Nobody put anything about it.

Sony released just 2 new updates for our phone, walkman and album, nothing particular new about them realy...

Sorry I am Bulgarian and ... frequently I am writing on Bulgarian/Cyrillic, so this is not a option for me. I did not found how to add other language to Chinese keyboard.
[Sony Xperia L] RabbiShe:
I am very confused. Is Xperia L getting the 4.3 official, or still merely a speculation?
[Sony Xperia L] Mrcl1450:
Only speculation
[Sony Xperia L] RabbiShe:
I see. I wonder if it's worth the risk to use the unofficial kitkat rom since it voids the warranty.
[Sony Xperia L] renthebat:
It's fine.. As long as you do it correctly, and learn about it properly, u can start from unlocking and locking bootloader.
[Sony Xperia L] srcharged:
Backup TA partition using TA backup tool and then unlock bootloader via Sony official site or just using flash tool

Then download the latest version of fxp. Or the varuns version of fxp. Both virtually are the same. Download a compatible kernel. Phantom or thunderzap if you please.

Install a kernel with recovery. Using fastboot. Then flash fxp via cwm or twrp or philz.

If you don't want to install a kernel. Flash the boot image from the fxp zip via fastboot and then use the recovery of that kernel to flash the fxp kk release.

In case you need better elongated steps, send me a pm.

Hit thanks if I helped.

---------- Post added at 08:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:58 AM ----------

Follow these steps and you won't void your warranty as long as you have your TA partition backup with you
[Sony Xperia L] RabbiShe:
Yeah i think i can manage to flash the new rom, but my question is, does it really work better than the default rom? For example i heard that the unofficial kitkat rom has some problems with the GPS which would be a big deal for me since i use GPS alot, do you have the kitkat rom yourself? Is the GPS working?

Maybe i should wait for the android L and then flash directly L instead of kitkat? (He he, Android L for xperia L)
[Sony Xperia L] srcharged:
Well, I do use the kitkat version. I use it more than the official version. I use GPS a lot too and have so far not faced any problem. The problem is with agps only. If you can manage without that, go ahead and use it. It's better in almost all other ways and more secure and promising too...
[Sony Xperia L] RabbiShe:
Thats great. I don't use AGPS at all since i don't want to pay my carrier for the data. Since the GPS is working well i will definitely update now, thanks.
[Sony Xperia L] srcharged:
Welcome
[Sony Xperia L] id202:
At the moment according to mail from Sony Bulgaria - there is no known date for bug fixing update and no known schedule for ANY update. Also 1 year software support for Xperia L ended and we (probably) are left with buggy 15.3.A.1.14/17 update. Search for my posts for whole story.
[Sony Xperia L] Kosa02:
You're kidding right? .. Yo wanna say, that they never fix multitouch and call screen freezes? .. I don't need 4.3 or higher I just wanted to have atleast buggless 4.2 .. next time I won't buy Sony phone.
[Sony Xperia L] LeopardSurd:
Time to switch back to 4.1.2, rooted and without UpdateManager sh*t from Sony. Flashtool, here I come!
[Sony Xperia L] srcharged:
I'd be trying out cm11
[Sony Xperia L] LeopardSurd:
Maybe later, I'm sick of CM nightly. I say that because I've had a lot of mid-range android phone, most of them with (un)official CM support (back in 2010) and never received a full functional CM ROM. Despite of good developers and even donations. The moderators say: developement thread...forever. Few years ago this was funny, now this is not anymore.

For now, CM11 has bugs I can't ignore:

only aGPS (or something like that)

no support for headset button

no FM Radio

cannot adjust in-call volume of the ear-speaker

and some random issues from xda-testers (overheating, random reboots, network bugs and so on).

For now, the official 4.1.2 is the most reliable. I'm quite sad when I say it.
[Sony Xperia L] utsavkoju:
I am done with sony products. I just regret why i did buy this device. Now i have switched to HTC One and i am happy with their support.
[Sony Xperia L] id202:
Because Samsungs has not such irritating glitches like Sony :)

Generally Sony are kings of bugs... that's why we need updates for Sony craps.
[Sony Xperia L] amnher:
Try my work, it will enhance the camera of 15.0.A.2.17 to the fullest

Enhance Camera of 15.0.A.2.17
[Sony Xperia L] LeopardSurd:
Thanks but it's not about the camera. I just simply cannot accept the localisation bug from Chrome that restarts the phone and the flickering bug with ambiental light sensor. Those I encountered on the official 4.2.2. Also, I find 4.1.2 a little snappier.
[Sony Xperia L] lee480:
Do you have a reliable sources from reputable forms of media that Sony is the "King of bugs"?
[Sony Xperia L] id202:
Just look on their support forum ... it is overfilled with complaints about buggy releases of firmwares. I did not seen so many complaints about misbehaving firmwares for whole line of products of other brands. From my viewpoint most of other brands at least do not generate new bugs with promise that they will fix old ones.
[Sony Xperia L] LeopardSurd:
I've owned Motorola, LG, Sony, Samsung, HTC and Huawei. All of them had bugs or performance issues after the last update. Look at S3 (European version), it will not receive 4.4 update. This sucks badly from Shamesung.
[Sony Xperia L] id202:
Yes, but all of them has no such count of bugs (I think). I got HTC Desire with their last 2.3 update and it is working, even that light sensor is not working properly under that release. But phone is working as phone and I can hear it's ring. My Xperia L are constantly routing sound to earpiece and sometimes are changing notification sound to whatever stupid phone decides - previous month got luck to get 4 times "Silent/No sound". After ending a call there is usually lighting infrared sensor and phone freezes for ~10-15 seconds. Those bugs are definitely missing on all other brands.

Also at this moment I will not complain if Android will be 4.1, 4.2, 4.4 or 32938 - this is not so important for me. More important point is that I can use it as a phone and internet connected device on which I can check my mail listen music while traveling in bus.
[Sony Xperia L] aleksander002:
My previous phone was Samsung Galaxy Mini 2. That low-end device never got any firmware update from Samsung. Very old Android 2.3.6 worked much better than 4.1.2/4.2.2 made by Sony. XL is 2-3x more expensive phone with 5x worser firmware. Like every device from Sony.
[Sony Xperia L] id202:
Hello,

Few minutes ago got reply from Sorry's support in Bulgaria. I will post original Bulgarian version and translated one to English. Sorry for Cyrillic letters. There is some light on the end of the tube:

[Sony Xperia L] RabbiShe:
Not really, they are basically telling you "We have no idea what goes on in the development department" so they are feeding you this filler walk-around.
[Sony Xperia L] id202:
Yes, I know. But at least they did not explicitly told me "Go away!" :)

Maybe it is stupid to hope, that Sorry will cleanup their miserable approach to their customers....
[Sony Xperia L] lee480:
Of course support forum will be filled with complaints. That's why it's called a support forum. And of course you've never seen such a magnitude of complaints, simply - Samsung, HTC or whoever don't operate a support forum. There's no reference point for you to make such judgement based on a single entity. Again, stop bringing your viewpoint and blanket it on how Sony operates.
[Sony Xperia L] id202:
OK, then please take my excuses, that I am not happy how Sony operate. This was just my opinion and I have stated it explicitly ... so nobody needs to take it on count or to care about.
[Sony Xperia L] utsavkoju:
Geniunely speaking Xperia L seems to be a descend device while counting on their spects. But:

* Multi touch issue

* Proximity sensor bug

* Ambient sensor bug

* Calling issue

* Camera issue

* Lack of proper updates

* Stupid partition table

Can you really tell me what's really is good about this device for you people? For me its a crap phone develop by sony for experimenting. Even any experimental update would have been much more worthy than their firmware. With each passing day XL is turning to a block of brick you can use for hammering nail :(

BTW whats the use of support center if they don't address any of those issues.
[Sony Xperia L] honglong:
I agree! Pretty rubbish service so far. Update the Xperia M, a worst spec phone with a 5MP camera. But no 4.3 for the Xperia L that has a better camera, later chipset. They even market it as the camera sony's engineers developed, blah blah. 4.3 is great because of the camera and add-ons.

I don't understand why they don't update it.

Seriously, I think 18 months after it come out they will just mention, out of support or something. Awful service.
[Sony Xperia L] utsavkoju:
Yeah thats right.

Sony seems to have abandon its lovers. I am sure i won't by any sony crap in future. They are just rubbish. Expecting 4.3 from sony, while there is Android L around the corner for so many other devices. :mad:

Sony You really made a descend phone to be a cheap crap. Don't ever make mid tier devices if you are thinking of adding bugs on them. You are just a ****y company. :mad:

[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] RevolutionBolt:
Hi,

Need solution here? Can I ask one of my friend's GrandQuattro is being hard bricked yesterday. Do I need to repair it at Service Center or maybe just with laptop?

Because, this phone can't power on into recovery or bootloader. Now it's dead. Can it will revive back if sent it to Service Center?

USB JIG are helping android phones enter into bootloader?

Thanks,

Syah
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] lols21.10:
Well go to service center, i myself hard bricked my quattro :angel: while doing some kernel and **** :eek: .I used the classic one :p I went to service center & told them i was updating my phone using kies and suddenly light went out(I don't have UPS) :p they bought :laugh::laugh:

and yeah one thing are you sure that its hard bricked cuZ one day when i was porting rom the device went into bootloop cwm and i forget about it went to sleep then next day it was dead with no reaction at all so it might happen.can u tell me how did it happended
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] RevolutionBolt:
As you have told this, "i forget about it went to sleep then next day it was dead with no reaction at all so it might happen".

My friend said his got like your's too. It mean don't configure too much and phone maybe will dead with no reaction or something.
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] lols21.10:
If its same suitation as mine than pull everything out of the phone(battery,sim,sd ......) than put that back in and let it charge for an hour(even if it does not show charging) than try to go into cwm if not than wait for another hour and do the same it solved mine :laugh::laugh:.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuromusha38:
I'm ask this question on behalf of the AnkiDroid developers (I'm just a user, they are too busy so I'm asking), we are in the process of getting rid redundant functions in the menu. There is a function called "Use Internal Memory", so apparently it is designed to give the user the option to move AnkiDroid folder to the "internal memory" of the device.

The issue can be found here https://code.google.com/p/ankidroid/issues/detail?id=1351

You know how on Android devices, the device storage is partitioned into system memory and the reminder is called SDcard and the actually SD card is called extSdCard, anyways, basically we would like to know if there is a device that does not partition the device memory into system and sdcard, that is no internal sdcard partition, all device storage is just one partition.

And in your opinion, do you think such function is necessary at all?

If I'm posting in the wrong section, I do apologise in advance.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opssemnik:
nope, too much risk, imagine putting bootloader and imei in the same block? + being writable...

also, I don't think its need that function, however if it needs, then you check to see if an external sdcard mount point exists (/storage/sdcard1, /extsdcard, /external_sdcard,/mnt/storage1, /mnt/storage/sdcard1). if exists and you can write things on it, then the device haves external sdcard, then you check to see if internal is also writable/ readable(get it´s mount point using android api itself), then just for sake, you compare the mount points, if differs then device haves external and internal, if its the same, then its only external.
[General Questions and Answers] pcm266:
I recall there was an AI file mod for a previous version of EA's FIFA game for android. I was wondering if there were any similar mods for the FIFA 14 release? Basically, I'd like to know if it's possible to make the CPU AI a bit better, since the game is too easy even on World Class -level. Are any of these features tweakable, hackable? Anyone have any ideas? (faster passing, shooting etc. )
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] bri.s:
I am trying to set up tomtom 5.21 with my BTGPS74 receiver but cant get the two to communicate. I know there is some settings you can change in settings/system/gps but the problem I have is I dont have the gps option in settings anywhere. Am I missing something? Does any on know what I should do. Tomtom wants me to use port 3 or 7 but when I try to set them in bluetooth settings it says its not possible check your settings. Any suggestions would b welcome. Thanks.

P.S I know the receiver works as it still works well with my N70.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Krinkiespijer:
...you should've gotten a GPS icon if software GPS recognized.

In rgister you can force simulation.

hklm\controlpanel\gps]

delete redirect and add 'group' with dword=2

Then GPS icon will appear.

I gave it programport 7,hardware 6, baudrate=57600

gps auto checked

I'm not sure about the settings...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] daddyo:
I had to create incomming and outgoing com ports on my 3100 (not sure if you need both)??

TomTom used com port 9 and works like a dream

as soon as you start the programme it connects automatically as long as my receiver is on.

It even connects when the BT on the 3100 is turned off - it starts the BT automaticlally when tomtom runs!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] chrissyboy6969:
Yeah i agree all you need to do is set up the com ports, then fire up tomtom and select the com port you just set up and away it goes

Chris
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] bri.s:
Thanks for the replies guys. I know I have to set the com ports but the problem I have is there is nowhere for me to do this. For some reason the gps settings is missing from the system/settings. I am going to try to reinstall tomtom to see if it helps. Tomtom has ports 3 and 7 showing but they seem to be taken by something else so I cant configure my receiver on either of them.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ma10:
I have a slightly different problem... my TyTn can connect to the BT GPS reciever, but as soon as TomTom tries to calculate a route, or I click the GPS signal icon it crashes back to the Today screen...

I've got TomTom installed with 5.21 update, anyone had any problems like this?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] chrissyboy6969:
you just need to pair your bluetooth device go to settings connections and bluetooth and add new device, let your tytn search and it will find a new device when you have paired it select new comm port outgoing

I have no gps setting in control panel either

Cheers

Chris
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] fgro:
Hi,

i have a strange problem with my BT. I cant create a incoming or outgoing BT port. I dont know why but it wont let me create any ports.

Anyone with the same odd problem?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Lucas0511:
I had a similar problem, Tytn would only let me choose COM0 (Zero) as outgoing port, and TT works fine with it. However, I would like to add Mapking for Asia, and this navi soft will not accept a GPS on COM0. Anybody understands why Tytn is only offering COM0 as outgoing ports for GPS?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] deika95:
I have set the com4 as outgoing port and now tomtom seems to work fine.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] fgro:
thanks for that info.

I don't know why only port 0 and all other ports are blocked but TT works for me now. I only need to wait for a better ROM and i can leave my Wizard home :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Lucas0511:
I have written to a good contact at HTC since I need COM ports other than 0 for Asian Mapking navi soft (in add. to TT) . Will keep you posted.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Lucas0511:
Answer from HTC:

"As my testing, the Outgoing port is not limited with COM0. PaPaGo can accept with COM0, COM2, COM4, COM8, and COM9. I think the limitation of COM0 is the software limitation of TOMTOM, So if the user wants to use Mapking that only support COM1~7, he need delete the outgoing port COM0, and reassign another COM port for the BT GPS."

I imagine the problem lies between the Tytn and TomTom only, and other navi soft would find other COM ports. But I am kind of hesitant to interfere with a working TomTom, and go through the outgoing COM port game again... :-)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] sphings:
I'm using Navigon and set up an outgoing Connection on com2 and it works fine for me.

sounds like TT is the problem ...
