will check back here with Jelly Bean to confirm

Just a heads up. After install I couldnt run any apps or open existing folders. I just chose the reset settings option and it worked after that. I have noticed that the ui is much smoother and so far browsing is much more fluid.

Downloaded 4.1.2 on my TL and it is pretty cool. UI is much snappier and smooth, and the Extended Battery mode option is fantastic - saw that option on some other Sony devices so I'm very happy they updated the TL with it too.
Confusing issue about Google Wallet... has anyone tried using it? Despite being on AT&T (which apparently doesn't "support" Wallet) the Google Play store let me download the app - which initially made me pretty excited - only to be slammed with a pop up as soon as the app starts claiming my device and/or service provider is not supported. Previously the app did not show up in Google Play (most apps that are not "compatible" with the device you are using will not show up), but when I noticed a few extra features in the settings -> more under NFC for Wallet, I figured then Google Wallet was compatible lol.

I think its one of the worst updates (Not talking about JB) in all the phones I owned. So I upgraded my wife's TL... Browser Does not work. (Does Not even open), Rainbows on Screen on and off.. While playing youtube and one time while pulling down notification tray. Lock Screen disappeared.. Did the settings reset.. Same thing nothing changed. Now I may have to factory Reset and Install all over. They should have tested more before they released as we waited all these days.

It's not sony's fault. If the lockscreen does not work or even the webrowser then something is wrong with your phone, I updated my device and now I have not lag and there's no bugs.
Factory Reset

Awhh damn rogers hasent pushed it yet i miss lte lol

Does the camera have the feature for unlimited burst shots, or any of the other camera features that we didn't have? If so, can you upload please?

No burst mode, but it does have HDR capability now at the cost of 1MP (12MP vs. 13MP) not exactly earth shattering. My wifi connection appears to be much more stable, with animation scale set to 0 the ui cranks along at breakneck pace, the browser quick commands wheel in the labs section of the settings is much more responsive and better organized, and I am finding the keyboard response a little more fluid. The only negative I have so far is that the com.sonyericsson.unplugcharger line is no longer disablable... Able to be disabled... Disenablable... Ah whatever the word is! You cant turn it off so you're left with an "unplug the charger" notification after disconnecting from power. So far though, I feel like I just got a brand new phone.

Wallet is an epic pain in the ass... Try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2126241
Works with CM10 on the T, I haven't had a chance to test it with stock Sony firmware yet.

Still waiting for the update to show up for mine. Just flashed it back to stock AT&T firmware both SUS and PC Companion say no update available.

Same here. PC Companion says "Your phone/tablet is up to date."

update is gone
I tried updating last night and the update was there, but now when I connect my phone is says it is up to date. I couldn't update last night because I couldn't get past the step where PC companion tells you to plug in usb and hold the volume down button. For some reason, my phone would not go past that step and update. I checked my firmware version and it is still ICS. Do you think they took the update down?

New Xperia Z user...

Coming from the hd2, galaxy 2, 3, Note 1 and 2, HTC one x, iPhone 4s.....
Been using the Xperia z for about a week now and would like a little help.
The phone is on 4.1.2, 101.A.1.434
An unlocked UK model.
I see a lot of people mentioning battery life, and yes mine drops extremely quickly to 50%, And then The battery drainage seams to improve slightly, question is, will there be an update that improves this?
Also my WiFi is pretty poor, never had a phone work such a low range, can this be improved at all?
I can't seem to get a decent shot from the camera, auto focus seems a bit random, perhaps I should try another camera app.
Overall love the speed and clarity of the screen, feels nice and light in my pocket, not tested the waterproofing yet, hope someone can help please
Use the latest FW for a week then ask again.
From me to you.
Turn off,dial pad sound,keyboard vibration,sound.
Location off,google now off.
Brightness at 50% .
The battery will be better

There is no update, well there isn't when I check via the phone, so I guess I'm on the latest, will try turning of the things you mention thanks

307 is the latest and those things were resolved for some in 253, which came after 434.

Ok, do I need to be logged into Sony or something on the phone, just Its stating my phone is up top date, yet it's on 434. Confused

its an unbranded phone the update hasn't been released for it, they are on about manually flashing the latest version using flashtool and the ftf file
This flashtool is all new to me, on the old galaxies, it was Odin, need to read this forums a bit more, I think

I think its different for all the manufacturers, so yes a bit more reading won't go a miss. If I knew I was getting a Samsung or HTC I'd be doing my reading before I got it as to to have some idea of what's required to flash and restore.

[Q] Xperia TX no longer listed on Sony Update Service?

Hi!
Flashed my Xperia TX with Sony Update Service a couple of weeks ago.
However, my friend wanted to flash his Xperia TX with Sony Update Service yesterday, but he can no longer find this phone on the list.
So I launched Sony Update Service just now, and found out that T, TX, V all disappeared from the list.
Could someone confirm this?
Thanks!

But I confirmed it after checking it myself.
Perhaps the problem is just regional?

I am 100% sure the TX still does not exist even if I clicked on show all devices.
I clicked on the touch screen device filter on purpose so that I can capture the whole list in only 2 screenshots, otherwise I would have to scroll through the entire list and take numerous screenshots if I selected show all devices.
Also, I think Leo should be able to have TX displayed even if he selected the touchscreen filter.
Maybe the problem only occurs in some regions, or maybe Sony is preparing their upcoming Android 4.3 update for TX, just guessing.
Click on all devices. Even the t doesn't show up in touch screen options but comes up in all devices. And it is not because of region as update service shows phone which I cannot get in uk on there such as xperia gx which is only available in japan (i think)

Then it is quite weird.
TX is not on the list even if I clicked "show all devices" at this time.
However, I am pretty sure the TX was on the list a couple of weeks ago.
Also, the Japanese GX does not appear on the list, too.
Press the drop down arrow. Then look for it

I've noticed this also. Did we find a solution? Need to repair my xperia T.
I agree with this guy who posted a thread.It's depending on country which you picked.I confirm that Xperia T doesn't exist in "Serbia" list of devices..Because i checked it.I changed country to "United States" and now i have all devices in that list.
So this guy is right,it's possible,not impossible.

Xperia T/Tx/V official android 4.3 First Impression

I made this post to let everyone share his impression about the long waited android 4.3 To our beloved phones T/TX/V
share your thoughts =)
and Gratz lets w8 for our last hope the Kitkat =D
Update
after flashing the usa FTF i just used my mobile for 10mins and seriously i got a new mobile now! nicely done by Sony
Smooth and Graphic is eye blessing just gotta w8 till get rooted and get the smaller navigation bar cuz this one is kinda too big
i love the call animation too It`s a new phone now =) Gratz to everyone
Tx Owner
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
My Impression
It snappy ,looks nice ram usages is poor I don't know about battery life yet , sound quality seems to be enhanced :louder ,deeper bass, higher treble all round improvement P.S. for those who don't know first start up will be a tad laggy
Rep
It feels much faster than 4.1.2. I love the lockscreen and the design

Maybe no update centre is a hint that we will not get updated to kit kat?
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.

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.

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?

Use Samsung Kies
good question on the counter, I have restarted my phone and have not seen it, Buuut I did freeze knox though. As far as updating Use Kies took about 10 mins
USB audio?
I got the Lollipop update this morning through T-mobile. It was smooth to update, and I haven't noticed battery issues or anything others had reporter.
However, I was super-excited for Lollipop, because it allows for USB microphones. And I've tried all 5 of the ones I own without success. I tried Samsung support, which was useless. They weren't even aware of the feature.
Do you think it's possible that Samsung or T-mobile bypassed this native feature to Lollipop? I was connecting via OTG cable. I haven't tried mic to powered hub to OTG yet, because I've seen Nexus owners on Lollypop just connect USB microphones via OTG.
I'd be grateful for any advice any of you gurus have out there. I am not rooted or running anything custom. I've been fairly happy with stock. But, like I started with, I was all the while looking forward to this Lollypop update for portable recording via USB. Is there something I'm missing? Thanks.
Downloading as I type...I'm sure I am wasting my time since I been rocking BeanStalk 5.0.2, but my curiosity is making me just give it a look and see how it works. It'll be nice to use the S-Pen features again, but Lollipop without all the bs that samsung and tmo put on there has been nothing short of amazing.
Why have the note 4 when you can have PURE android just like you want with the new 6 inch moto. But whatever guess I will never understand why people will buy a car. Strip it off its goods (rims/system/under the hood upgrades) just to have a classic stripped stock vehicle? I mean already having the features why give then away? I will never understand

Assuming that you're talking about the Nexus 6/Moto X Pro, there's no need to debate/discuss why I would want TouchWiz on ANY level, which is why I was close to buying a Nexus 6. Honestly though, for me, while the Nexus 6/Moto X Pro isn't a bad phone(they're both really great phones), they lost me with no way to add extra storage or remove your battery if needed. In addition, while I have been running Beanstalk for the last few weeks, I still think the S-Pen is a really great feature to have on the Note 4. There's really no need to go into details about which phone is better, because it will always come down to preference, but in regards to your comment, it's not as stripped down as you present it to be.

I am certainly not hating on you for what you're saying and personally, in many(maybe most) aspects, those are flat out better phones than the Note 4. I just installed this bs lollipop so now as I type, I am flashing back to BeanStalk. The lack of a removable battery i could live with, but the expandable storage is a necessity for me, the only reason I am staying with the Note 4 since most phones that are coming out are converting to that style.

Can I ask how you did that? I upgraded from BeanStalk to stock Lollipop via Kies, but I'm getting force closes on gapps services. Can barely use the phone they are coming in so frequently. What did you do to uninstall gapps and how did you get the correct version installed?

You do not need to install gapps on stock ROMs. They are included. Installing them as a zip will break them. So, factory reset (or fresh install), and don't flash gapps.

Hey. Thanks for the reply. I actually didn't install gapps over the stock ROM. Not sure what it didn't like installing over Beanstalk. I did a wipe before I installed via kies. Anyway, I resolved by doing a factory reset, like you said. Did two actually. All is well now, thanks.

new update

Just received an update through OTA, haven't done the update yet, has anyone got this, Sony has forced people to do the update, as you can't hide it or disable it, it will just stay in the status bar and as notification.
I updated but have no idea what was delivered. Firmware version remained the same.

That would be the first time one is forced to update/upgrade. Usually you can select something like "Always", "Only when connected to WiFi" or "Never". Isn't that no more the case with the Xperia X series? Hope it is...
yeh, I found out you can prevent the upgrade, but you have to do it before a upgrade pops up in the upgrade section.

I got no overheat, thank god.
The bionz is too aggressive, too much noise on pictures.
Stamina mode is a joke compared to before. It just slows the phone down.
Battery life seems OK, and it charges fast if gone dry

hey karrouma,
Do you need to be rooted to use Flashtools?
I show that my phone is up-to-date, but I still have the Contacts app issue (I don't care anymore cuz I use Contacts + app, but still). I've been having an issue I hope is gone now where phone randomly restarts on its own. I cleared all the preferences (or cache?) at once and restarted. So far it's good (knock on wood), but I wonder if doing what you did would help? But if it requires root forget it. lol
Also, on your box, on the side.......... what country/language codes do you see? Mine said ZH, EN which I guess was China and English for US/UK (or maybe England?? lol). HK would be Hong Kong, so still China. TW would be Taiwan. I've been told the Taiwan int'l version doesn't have the Contacts app issue.
Please let me know.

Ok. Wait it's called Flashboot or Flashtools??
Not sure. I've rooted and unlocked bootloaders before, but I don't know the exact procedure for what you're talking about. Are there instructions somewhere online? Where did you go to get the FTF file? Is THIS it?
Ok you got the Taiwanese version. Cool. Mine's Hong Kong. I don't think the TW version ever had the stock Contacts app issue though.
Yeah I LOVE my XP!!

I didn't copy the changelog, it was brief. I believe update is 36mb. A couple regions were released with this firmware so it was only a matter of time.

Apparently this thread was referring to a previous f/w and not the current one, also I can't find a thread that was posted before this.
HellRoot,
Ok so it dealt with overheating issues (I haven't had that happen as of yet) and the camera. So what, it made the 23 MP in Superior Auto mode better somehow??
Cool. I didn't see it. Thanks!

This was my second update, this current one available in the past few days, apparently I haven't updated it yet so I can't comment on it.
kms,
Ok. If you find out what the latest one has to offer, please post about it here. I hate that Sony isn't doing this already.
Thanks.

Stamina mode has been ruined and instead of my regular 54hrs at 100% battery, I now get 27hrs with the. 238.
Battery to me is everything, thats why i was very happy with my Sony Xperia x performance.
But not anymore.
Also i just checked, my batt was at 70% i tried turning off stamina mode to see how much the change would be, ONE HOUR difference with stamina mode on!
ONE!
VERY ANNOYED!
---------- Post added at 10:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:41 PM ----------
Is there a way to revert to back my system update?
Also, I posted on sony forums about it.
Posted in software section, for some stupid reason it was moved to xperia x section as a reply to a topic about 8hr battery.
I clearly stated it was xperia x performance and the system update 35.0.a.1.238. Yet when I went to check it was gone and move.

"Regular 54 hrs"? The XP just came out a month ago. What do you mean regular?
I tried leaving SM on overnight last week for about 7 hours, and the battery STILL goes down, but only 4%. It's not like the SM on the Z3, which was better but also to me quite buggy. Without SM overnight my battery went down 7%. I only activate SM when I'm gonna be out for more than a few hours, or else it's not worth it.
Note: Make sure if you use the "Visual Voicemail" app that after enabling then disabling SM that you go back into the VV app and re-enable it. Or else calls that go to VM will only show up on Notification Pane (VV notif won't show up) and you'll have to re-enable it later anyways, so might as well just remember to do it after disabling SM. Other than that it works pretty well, just not AS great as on my old Z3. But at least it's not buggy, and by buggy I mean super annoying MMS and random battery drain issues. MMS messages wouldn't always come in and randomly the battery level would free fall, and I'd have to FACTORY RESET the phone to make it ok. I'm so glad Sony finally fixed it, just wish it didn't lose any battery power overnight. Oh well.
