Any ETA for the JellyBean update in Italy? Any bugfix coming for the worldwide version?

See title. We haven't gotten the official update in Italy yet. Why, and when is it coming?

Also, the worldwide version installable via FlashTool has bugs, but I'm sure you know about that already. The bugs I found are the following, in order of annoyance:


1. Volume up button stops working randomly, and requires a reboot to make it work again once it "dies". This is extremely irritating. Needs fixing ASAP, for obvious reasons.

2. Videos stutter in 1080p, and no way to fix it, not even with third party video apps. Needs fixing ASAP, as this is one of the features advertised for this phone, it has to work.

3. Weird memory management. Lots of app redraws for no reason.

4. Home launcher isn't very smooth, "project butter" where?

5. Some widgets disappear after reboot, standard keyboard selection doesn't "stick" after reboot.

6.  Google Voice input randomly stops working saying "I didn't catch that" after only a split second. Not sure who is at fault for this, but it's annoying. A reboot usually fixes this.

Is there a bugfix release coming? Please say yes, or I will be very disappointed in Sony Mobile as a whole.

Sony what do I do? I bought the phone for that would not only call, but also shoot video, play and much more, but with your new firmware is something not working. I bought my phone 1 year and 4 months ago, I still have a warranty, and I wish that it would work because the phone has paid for 415 €, where am I going to do with the non-working phone?

Three options: Sell and buy 2013 phone; return to ICS or wait for next week firmware update and see what Sony does.

Of course he/she can combine options 2 and 3 (after backup his/her current firmware first) Slightly_smiling_Face
