i dont know myself... i just prefer to have a uk firmware over a CE one because i feel that CE might have stuff customised for the EU area whereas UK will only have its own unbranded stuff... thats just my guess lol... the other thing is because im from london, it makes sense to have a uk firmware :D

Like I mentioned previously, I've been unable to flash any 4.3 firmware that has booted.

Perhaps I shpuld wipe data?

want me to try? its always best to leave all 3 boxes checked in FlashTool and just start from scratch... atleast you wont end up with problems later on down the line... i've always followed that rule and NEVER had a single problem in my lifetime with any of these phones :)

Would you mind, please?

I tried both Singapore and Central Europe for C6833.

Unbranded UK Z Ultra receives update

Just so you know, my Z Ultra now has 4.3 update installing. No OTA notification (I made it check) but plugged into PC Companion and update was available

O2 4.3 upgrade removes 4g

Anyone else had this issue. My phone updated from the Sony updater to version 4.3 on O2 and I lost all my 4g settings. Having called customer services, the options seem to be from them - flash your phone voiding your warranty and downgrade the system again or send it off without a replacement for 5-10 days for them to do so.

Will probably flash but does anyone know if that actually fixes the issues? Anyone else with the same problem or do all O2 upgraders still have their 4g?

Flashing your phone doesn't void warranty, just do a full backup before you flash so you can revert if need be. I'd recommend flashing the UK unbranded version with flashtool (check the rom depository by @hamdogg). I flashed it (am on O2 UK also) and it retained all settings and apps and have had no issues whatsoever, in fact it's running smoother than ever and ghost clicks are gone.

Before you do that though it's worth going to settings/more/Internet settings and see if that corrects it. O2 customer services are not at all tech savvy, and their technical department miss some things too.
