I really want to know when the latest .73 firmware for UK Xperia S will be released. Also if anyone currently running .73 would like to expand on battery life? :D:D:D

Well it's been a month tomorrow since it was released in singapore, other euro countries have got it. Sonymobile uk have said it is out but no one has confirmed they got it. So it might never come out. At this rate ICS may be out on the S before this patch get's released. I am using the NL generic using Flashtool and you can flash it without needing to root.

thank you, but i dont want to, i want to keep everything official this time, i did have a HTC one x about two weeks ago!! WHAT A PIECE OF SH*T! It glitched, lagged and had atrocious battery life, far more satisfied with this. Im still getting 7-9 pm moderate use and im on 20% !:D:p

Hi dragon mate, is the NL .73 any better than the sg .73 ?

Strange - I got the 73 update a couple of weeks ago. I have an Orange branded XS. I am running 6.0.A.3.73.
I got a push notification a couple of weeks ago (maybe during easter weekend)

I have not heard from many Orange users with the update it may have been leaked. Generic Uk XS users not got the update either.

Not sure. It came through and updated using the pc companion. The phone works fine as well. Not sure anything has changed apart from the firmware number though. Slightly better battery.

    I find it better less bloat feels smooth just like SG. I use NL feels close to the invisible UK update.
