First we won't get kitkat and in March our 18 months are over and Sony has yet made it to get itself out of having to give us kitkat...

Now 4.3. I don't know I expected more. SP got the gloves mode for example and I don't know whether it is just the Vodafone version why aren't we getting an update center?
The cam looks good but lacks of functionality, for example the tap to focus and make picture is gone and the auto mode being chosen every time I open the app is not really optimal.
The lockscreen is a bit rudimentary but we all knew that before yes we got widgets but honestly what do they offer if I have to watch out not opening Walkman or when swiping left and right. Better optional app buttons and to have them on the lower screen half.
Then the Docomo status bar better than what we had before but definitely many steps behind other uis in that case.

Worst for me is that the buttons for navigation are almost third of the screen... Would it kill Sony to make that customizable?

My main parts I'm not yet updating and waiting for the modders to do their best

... and that for a company like Sony. Imagine that.

Yep, and that for a completely stripped down version, with no auto-background update of Google Services, and other unneeded items.

No buddy asked you about KitKat :-S



share your thoughts =)

and Gratz lets w8 for our last hope the Kitkat =D

I took the share your thoughts part as invitation to share my thoughts on both subjects mentioned.
And I advise you to just let people have their opinion and if I needed to release my frustration over that subject respect that too. Otherwise get out of the internet as you'll get offended every second website you visit.

Stamina mode and camera

- Stamina mode looks like its 2 versions back. It lacks of customization which is in SP and Z series. Besides the (inaccurate) timer there is nothing new. :( That mode was previously in 4.1.2 just now it looks better.

- Camera - first impression is that it makes better pictures in low light conditions but I cant find settings in menu for resolution and quality - itll be nice if someone tell me where it is.

SP got the gloves mode

SP always had glove mode...


the tap to focus and make picture is gone and the auto mode being chosen every time I open the app is not really optimal.

:( I didn't know about this. I rely on tap to focus (as someone who knows absolutely nothing about taking a good picture)


The lockscreen is a bit rudimentary but we all knew that before

I passionately hate the current Xperia lock screen. While I like using other lockscreens, sometimes the default lock screen over-rides it anyway, I think when memory is low. I know I can use a pin, pattern, etc, but I want to be able to look at my phone for a very few short seconds without all the fiddling. Worst Xperia lock screen yet. Even the X10 lock screen was better.

Then the Docomo status bar better than what we had before but definitely many steps behind other uis in that case.

I'm glad this is present, my partner's SP has had it since updating to 4.1 and I've always been a little envious :p

Bit disappointed Walkman doesn't have music unlimited built in. It's the one thing I was waiting for :(

You're most likely in Super auto mode... Got to switch to manual mode first and then enter the settings

There's something called over reading. Learn it, really will help you.

BTW I'm getting confused you're not the post maker why you think you can tell me what to write and what not to write?

i see a few bugs

First of all, what happened to the stock browser. is it android policy to pass to chrome in 4.3? I dont know about you, bt i dont feel any butter maybe the firmware still needs to get the hang of the device, vut for the moment it feels a bit laggy. Most important: What the hell happened to the volume bar?! i press the volume keys and ony a small grey rectengle appears, no indicator of volume level, i can hear the beeps increassing volume but i dont see it, and if you are in an app like RR3 it doesnt work! anybody had the same problem?

    xposed framework with gravity box and GEM Xperia Xposed will help alot.

    as you can see in the picture below the nav bar is smaller the bars are really transparent and the dock has no background any more. Also there are more rows and collums. Yes this is really the stock launcher from Sony :silly: only the icons i did with Dekstop visuelizer :)

    Also with GEM Xperia Xposed you can mod alot of the lockscreen too. You can even choose the AOSP lockscreen if you want.
