For those Xperia V unhappy with 4.3: Pure-X-Blaster.

Android 4.2.2 ported from Z1. 98 % of the 4.3 features, but for me bug free (except one minor issue). Stabil, 0 % battery loss in 6 h sleep with stamina on, great (smaller) memory foot-print.

Sometimes the back button doesn't work. It's a bug or maybe app related? So far I noticed this problem in camera / album and in my Falcon pro Twitter app.

4.3 GPS problems

I have upgraded to 4.3 (now .199). Yes, I have almost all the problems mentioned here. Had a few shutdowns while charging, lots of lags or freezes, sometimes Bluetooth tries to connect no matter I try to turn it off and some others.

But most annoying is my GPS can't get reliable fixes. It takes 5-6 minutes, sometimes longer and sometimes shorter, but never 10-20 seconds. And I think it loses connection in between.
I believe A-gps is working but GPS has problems. Today I tried over 40 minutes to get a fix where there was no network.
I never had GPS problems before 4.3.
Does anybody have same issues? (I use Sygic and Gps Status App to check.)

I had several annoying issues with my 4.3 running Xperia LT30p. So I flash it back to 4.1.2, there were suppose to be some fixes coming soon, so I will wait for it when it ready.

After trying in several OS and phones my final conclusion it's that the 4.3 upgrade fried my 16GB sd card...

It was working flawlessly on my old Blackberry 9930 for almost a year an then on my TX since July 2013 until I updated my phone to 4.3 in february.

At the official Sony support forum there are many complains about this issue and the official Sony Statement it's something like: "**** happens", they don't care about the money you spend replacing your SD nor your data.

I think we should raise our voices and get a better solution for this problem...

You're saying Sony Xperia 4.3 can potentially fry the SD card? damn, maybe that's what happen to my Xperia SP 4.3 and the 16 GB Kingston SD I had in there.

Guys, I need some help. :( For like a month I had no problems. Now, it seems something is using almost entire ram. On processes I see nothing. I have like 20 free ram left and when I go home I get redraws every time. Also, back button doesn't work in many situations.

Any ideas?

what is 9.2.A.1.199 update for the Xperia T, 4.1.2 or 4.3? I'm not quite sure.

I updated my Xperia T LT30p to 4.3 Android, but lots of bugs. the worse one was that it shuts off after a full charged. So I downgraded it back to 4.3 until the Sony releases a bug fixing update to fix all the bugs.

What is currently the latest update for Xperia T? I haven't kept track so I don't know. I also don't want to update my phone to find out, because installing and arranging my home screen icons and widgets again is a pain.

199 update is the last one for 4.3. @kingstonxl : last Walkman update caused the problem. I started the app and while listening to music I pressed home and everything got slow and music stopped. All apps on processes showed up as restarting.. I rebooted the phone, uninstalled Walkman updates and it's ok now.

    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

    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.
