Xperia SP INCREDIBLY slow after new update

[vazza]

I updated my SP like normal, and as soon as it booted, it is so much slower than it was before, can someone please help me to fix this, or help me return it back to the older version of android, where it was fine?

Thanks in advance.

I was happy with Sp before update. Now it is sluggish and stalls. Never had these problems before. Disappointed.

I have the same problem, applications get turned off giving errors, chrome takes forever to open, so do all other apps like viber, skype, whatsapp. I have done a factory reset, but nothing. Still lags, annoyingly slow. Please make this better. I have had the.phone for few days only when the update came out and now its a disaster. Please help.

I hope sony take care of this problem immediately by launching a more sane version of this update or the next one real soon.

This update is horrible.
The phone become too slow. It freeze and lags all the time. Maps takes up to 30 seconds to start. My task manager can't clean all of the cash anymore. To much time to load messages and phonebook.
Never had such problems with 4.1 version.
3 times factory reset and 2 times preinstallation through Pc companion.
At least the light effects are working fine now.

PCC is good for nothing. You have to use sony update service. That helped me a lot. It takes more time, bcs it is about 780mb reinstal of the whole os. PCC has made my phone extremly slow, never again.

I'll try again with SUS, but really hope Sony will fix this update. I don't want to know what will it be with KitKat, if they ever decide to release it for SP.
