Help please! I have a six week old Xperia SP which I've been very pleased with. Two nights ago I got the message telling me that Android 4.3 was ready to download, which I did, thinking it would be a big improvement.

Big mistake more like. The phone is now very unresponsive, hangs on most app opening and struggles to connect with Twitter, email, etc.

How do I revert to the previous Android version? Thanks.

Is there an one click solution for the downgrade problem?

It seems a bit strange that no one wrote some kind of software which would do the same job as PCC or SUS but backwards.

Read what?

I need an one click solution, not a cookbook (because I already lost enormous amount of time on reading messages on this forum during the last 3,5 months and on upgrading and re-installing firmware and additional applications on my phone. I've had enough! I don't want to spend any more time than it is absolutely necessary to make my phone work properly,).

It seems that I will take my Xperia SP to the service center and pay for the downgrade. The question is whether they will be willing to do the downgrade.

you are NOT going to find one click solution, contact your local Sony

Now, that is the answer I was looking for. Simple "yes" or "no".

I did a security copy using the PCC, if I restore the copy I will get only the personal data or also the old Android version?

If you backed up,you will get only files back(not software).

Hi woodsidebeer

Why dont you try doing reset factory settings , which ironically has solved many problems with hanging , ram space and many, worked well for mine, even i had faced the same issues when i updated.. now its working fine without glitches.
