I have had some pretty serious signal loss issues since updating to 4.2.2. With 4.1.2 I had superb signal but relatively poor camera. I had great signal and data speeds in my house, at work etc. Since I updated I have had nothing but issues with signal loss. Does anyone else have the same issues. But more importantly is there a solution. Was the radio updated in 4.2.2? Would it be possible to revert back to the original radio whilst keeping 4.2.2? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can install a different radio, I can't say what will be best for you as location and service provider affect that
The search option would have provided you with this info - for future ref

If you are unlocked and have custom recovery (CWM or TWRP) you can flash the radio separately, you can find them all here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2419699
All flashable via recovery.
Did anyone tried this ROM, how is the performance? Wi-Fi and Bluetooth works?

Seriously, anyone?
It's quite OK. But sound was broken, so it's unusable as a daily driver.
Hmm, planning to get a Xperia T because the CM support, is worth it?
Sent from my Xperia Sola using xda premium
why you not simply take a look into the dev section?
this will answer all your questions
we have
- a nice miui v5
- official omni rom support (already daily usable kitkat 4.4)
- many nice stock sony ui roms
and we will get official sony jb4.3 in december....and MAYBE 4.4....sony confirmed they will test official kitkat on XT.
just look around....from my feeling i wouldnt count so much on cm...i read about many many nightlies had broken stuff (kernel etc.)
but maybe a cm user can tell you more clear details about cm

Better get a XZ, it's newer and I've seen it new for 333€...
I don't really like the stock ROMs because of the apps pre-installed, I like the stability but it has a lot of applications that I don't use. Cyanogenmod has a lot of great apps that comes with like Apollo. And I like the stock Google style, really nice, specially KitKat.
The Omnirom seems nice, gotta flash someday.
And I don't have enough budget to afford a ZX. Got a Xperia Sola, so the T is like a better version of it for me.
That's my opinion, if I'm wrong, feel free to correct me.

I really prefer Stock Base ROMs, for battery life,Walkman & cyber shot.

I can't afford a Z1. And I don't need such a monster telephone, I just call, send SMS, install apps, sometimes flashing and app development.
The T is the most accessible for me and it cover all my needs. I asked if the CM11 worked in this phone before buying it.

Yep I recommended this to my friend. Much newer device. Tiny bit bulkier than the T but with many new stuff like default transparent nav bars and also an interesting LED light at the bottom. And of course as mentioned, longer, better support. If you can save up a few more bucks.. the Z/ZR would be the choice.
And regarding your original question, for the T, CM from FXP isn't doing so well. Major bug reports.

No sync with FXP247
Hi,
anybody also has the problem that syncing does not work wit CM11 FXP247? I don't get my contacts, also google maps is not working, no maps are loaded...!?
I like the T : it's camera is very useful thanx to the 13 MP, and it has already lots of internal memory. Besides, they are roughly the same from the configuration.
As there's not really an update planned for "old" phones like the T, I updated it, and as of today I'm on Kitkat, a custom made Omnirom. I had already the CM 10.1.3 stable and was yesterday quite frustrated with the bad built of 10.2 RC1.. And as I have the same bug in two different CM versions, I didn't want to try out another for the moment.

it does work, both wifi and bluetooth. and it seem stable also, as i just flash the newest nightlies 20131213 and haven't have a single random reboot till now. but the google contact sync does not seem to work
Had my xperia sp for a couple of weeks and am very surprised by how dreadful the stock ROM was. I came from a GalaxyS2 that was smooth running stock and amazing with the plethora of custom ROMs. I did a little research before choosing the phone and saw a couple of gripes here and there but a lot more positive reviews. I am very surprised that there are not a lot of threads starting here with "this phone sucks balls"!
The lags around the system are shocking and having to press the touch screen four times for before it eventually responds a second or two later to all four touches! Not good Sony.
Is my phone broke? I don't think so, although crippled by an unlockable boot loader, as the cm10.2 for locked bootloader does fix it.
So are you happy with yours?
Your phone is not broke?
I too came from a Galaxy S2 and changed for the battery life and 4g capability.
Also have a locked bootloader so feel hamstrung as I always had Slimsaber on my phone.
Currently on Existenz which is an improvement over stock.

Eh...sort of. At times I do feel really happy with it, but some days I just want to get rid of it. I constantly plan on switching it for a Moto X, but then I find few features that make me wonder if it's really worth the investment. Right now, I'm quite happy running stock rooted rom with few Xposed tweaks, which I never tried before.
i'm not happy because of update that sony gave was terrible :')
i hope sony will give the kitkat update for SP to fix the sh*t, to to add more sh*t
Not happy. I will probably sell phone under price...
- .254 battery life s#cks
- .266 lag, lag, lag
- .201 still lag but little better than .266
Bad camera, not greatest build quality...
After 5-8 years of using Sony/Sony Ericsson phones this is the worst one! I need to buy something else but i dont know which phone should i buy.
Using custom rom Carbon(kit kat version) and quite happy with it. I think it could be better. Battery life is the ONLY thing that i concern. Already used latest .201 stock and not happy with it. Will use SP at least for a year more. :fingers-crossed:
Sometimes im happy with my phone because it can play more games plus hd screen compared to my previous SE android phonetbut im very much disappointed with the camera and sometimes it lags.

Happy compared to my Old Samsung Galaxy S Plus (horrible device.... but great ROM support better than here with the Xperia SP....).
Sometimes I just dont like the way Sony is handeling this device. Delaying updates and now even rejecting Kitkat? It is lame.. But I get use to it.....
Humans are rational beings . Their thirst for more cannot be quenched.

Well, Sony Xperia SP is definitely the BEST phone in its price category. That everybody have to agree.
I know the stock firmware is not well optimised , but... hey I used to own a Samsung Galaxy Y before , so anything is better than that low end smartphone.
It's been a pleasure and pain for me.
When it runs well, it's amazing.
Smooth, good looking, very capable capable hardware .
Other times, it's a dog! Hanging, slow loading with app crashes.
I got mine to replace a Moto G that I destroyed accidentally. Pleased and disappointed with it at the same time.
Come on Sony. Please fix the issues that some people are having with this excellent phone!
Im a lot happier now im on Ultimate PureXSP v2, 201 stock should be as smooth as this ROM!
Sent from my C5303 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Well i used SP for like 6 months. I loved my experience. But due to exams approaching, i had to switch to a larger device and ended up getting Z Ultra. Kit Kat is horrendous compared to 4.3 so i'd suggest you guys not to dream about it. Maybe 4.4.3 will be better. But for now i'll stick to 4.3 as it is much smoother and faster. I kinda miss my SP though. It was lovely

What ROM are you on? Have a locked bootloader and very limited in ROMs. Even found the modified stock ones are only marginally better. Cyanagen for locked bootloader has saved my phone from imminent death!
Sent from my C5303 using Tapatalk 2
Every version of stock ROM is extremely laggy, has problems like bad RAM, very unresponsive touchscreen, freezing, etc. That's why I use CyanogenMod 10.1(UB) which is extremely fast and has no problems at all.
I suggest buy Oneplus One
better phone with new CM11s

I'm running Vanir AOSP android 4.4.2 but it's only for UBL
Unhappy with xperia sp
the back cover is squeaking, android stock is so laggy and full of bugs, camera is the worst. the sd mount for games is not permited, only for pictures and music.
the good is in the games in some games xperia sp is faster.
i think change my xperia sp for nexus 5,galaxy s3 or moto g.
i am very disappointed for sony and this phone.
I don't know whether my question is allowed here or not, but it's driving me crazy
Can I flash Z2 Rom on Z1? Maybe it bricks the phone, and I think that's soft brick, right?
Please help me
No, it uses a different chipset.
Edit: just to give some perspective, I used to own a HTC One X and there were two variants of the device - one 4g with different chip, and the other 3g only.
The guys using the 4g variant thought their phone was the same as 3g one and flashed their ROMs, they ended up mostly hard bricking their devices.

So by this means, I can flash because some software features are near
And you didn't mention whether it can be bricked or not
Is that hard or soft brick?

but the next thing i gonna test is: cm kernel for z1 and a cm based rom for z2 i think it boots ....ps ya all can flash roms for z ultra but ehm -> im not responsible for any hard/soft bricks, atomic explosions, your device explodes or any other things<-
edit: i take that back with the zu 0_o
Ok thanks

Guys i was wondering if anyone can help us with the issue we have when cross flashing the new lollipop ROM for TX onto our T..
I have it booted and running perfectly with the exception of a few issues.
1. The vibration does not work.
2. The camera is inverted.
3. Cannot take any photos with the back camera.
4. Focus does not work on the back camera.
5. Miscellaneous bug sometimes drains the battery..but not always.
These are the problems i have come across so far, if anyone has information on how to fix some of these (at least until one of our great developers successfully ports a working version of lollipop for our T) it would be greatly appreciated.
anyone????
There probably is nothing anyone can do about it, until our T get's cm12 made directly for T.
