Android 4.3 Update Problems.......

[Fawaz]

I noted the following problems....hope others having problems will post here to get a good response from sony...

1. My phone is slow even though I uninstalled most of the applications I used in 4.1. 

2. (maybe the same problem) my remaining ram is around 190 and 200 even though i have disabled most of the applications.

3. phone in battery saver and stamina mode on for 8 hours battery draind 8 percent..( 4.1 It never happened)

4. Screen is sort of blinking when waking up...

5. Led notification light keeps on during the call....

6. Autobrightness is not working as promised to correct it.....

is it worth to have a phone like this???????????

shame on you sony you took so long for this update, finally to produce a **bleep** like this...????

After upgrading to 4.3, my phone just hangs with a traingle screen with spanner. If i turn it off using the small yellow button at the back this screen just comes back again. Has been like this for 1.5hrs now. Really unhappy with this....

Any ideas??? Really stuck without phone...

I have the same problems.
When i upgrade first the device was slow at everything then all apps start crashing i do factory restore it didnt solve the problem, i run PC companion and start update again.. crash fix but my devise is realy slow.. my ram always is less than 200 with no apps installed, 200mb only with fresh update and factory restore... is verry same for sony.. Sony had always problems with updates.. this is **bleep** i have this phone 3 months now and is verry slow.. Sony SP.. **bleep** sony??? check it before u release the upgrade..
All is marketing... i think they wanna realease new phones with 2giga ram and they do this trick with 4.3 upgrade so our phones will be slow .. to buy new ones.

Updated yesterday via pc companion, here are some of the bugs I am still encountering as of today:

1. Camera performance greatly decreased.
- Stuttering during video record at full hd, stuttering also present in the recorded video
-Poor autofocus, especially at low light (compared to 4.1.2, this never happened for me before the update)
-Slow camera startup, especially from lock screen
-Social camera app not present
-Overall decrease in image quality

2. NFC doesn't work or won't turn on.

3. Screen dimming not smooth, very noticeable.

4. Mobile Bravia engine 2 doesn't improve images and videos even when turned on. I tested it and the quality is the same as when turned off.

5. Screen layout problems during app installion/uninstallation, the app name is clearly out of place.

6. Increased battery drain even with stamina mode on.

7. Developer options are gone.I don't know if sony chose to remove it entirely or i just don't know where it is after update.

8. Etc. I'm sure there's more,I haven't tested out everything yet.

Please let me know if any of you are experiencing the same bugs as I am and what fixes you did for said problems.

Additionals:
The camera app crashes often then becomes unavailable until you restart your phone. I don't like the fact that you can't set the image resolution any more when using superior auto.bad move by Sony, I think I'm gonna revert back to 4.1.2 if this isn't resolved by next month.

Thank god!! I have not yet updated my phone to 4.3 release. After seeing all these issues reported here after the 4.3 update, I think I should live with the current version update for now. For others who are having issues with 4.3 update, I suggest that you format the entire phone inlcuding the memory card (don't forget to take the backup) and re-install the OS using Sony PC Companion tool. This may solve some of your problems.

Tam the resets doesn't change anything except it removes all your installed apps and increases some more space . What's the point in removing all the apps and getting some space if I need those apps..and even updating via sud also doesn't help...and why is Sony so silent...can't they see our problems....

People, I had all the problems after the update to 4.3... Yesterday I think that were solved almost all bugs, I did the Restore to factoring setup using the SUS software, the phone was completely cleaned (all personal data must have a backup...), but now is without the legs to change between softwares and other errors..

After update Bravia Engine does not work, it has no effect on image and video Quality.
