Problems discovered in new Xperia T Jelly Bean update

The JB Update for Xperia T has been long awaited, and now it's here. It's a magnificent update with tons of new features and optimisations, however, I would like to bring some insight regarding a few problems I found out about to the Sony Support Staff :

1) The weather widget, which I loved and was the only weather app/widget I used due to it's sleek design and animation, now has a major flaw. Althoug it works properly, for some reason It creats a LOT of lag when put on a homescreen, while sliding across screens. The lag seems to have something to do with the animation, as it stops the second you start to slide and begins 1-2 secs after you stop sliding and look at the screen it's on. If you slide across screens, the one where the weather widget is on creates quite a huge lag, drops a lot of frames, whereas in the ICS version there was absolutely no lag, and no such problem. Seems to need a bit of optimisation! I'd love if Sony would become aware of it and work on it as soon as possible, because it's a shame to use a 3rd party app for weather when the native one is so beautiful and simple

2) Just like the weather widget, the Walkman widget also seems to cause lag, but significantly less than the aforementioned one. Again, the widget created no problem on the ICS version, so we're probably talking about some optimisation that needs to be done

3) For some reason, after updating to JB, the game NFS Most Wanted has been rendered incompatible with the Xperia T (according to Google Play), and thus can't be installed, which is annoying since it's a great game and everyone who has it payed 5-6 euros on it. I don't know if EA Games or Sony Mobile should adress the problem, but it needs  a quick fix as it's aggravating, shince now we're talking about "locked" money and entertainment.

Hope this helps and gets to the ears of the Sony Mobile staff responsible for coding the software!

Can anyone reccomend any good theme or application to fix that white screen in call log and messages? I just got JB and really need to get the dark theme again. This is irritating.

strange! random reboots actually stopped happening to me just as i updated to jb from ICS 4.0.4 v6.1.B.0.599. but i +1 the idea about removing all the white backgrounds and having one and the same background in the entire ui and letting the users pick their own color for that!

I have the same issue after update my NFS MW start lagging and it display EA logo and pause the game during race and also in the main game map.

so HOW TO FIX IT?

just go the the settings--> Developer Options and enable them Winking_Face one quick fix for all.

Just enable the options, no need to modify any setting, now excuse me, I need to win a race!!!

Hi Sony than you very much for making my phone crap with your upgrade 4.1.2 my phone was superb until you got your hands on it to upgrade, now its the worst phone i have ever had. It keeps turning off, everytime i try to open an app it closes down. Until then it was great, now you have destroyed my faith in Sony, you even tell me I cant go back to my good tested software. It seems you have tested this one very well? thats why 5-10 people each day have complained to o2. So what are you going to do, because its not my phone, its your rushed out untested software upgrade, if it was ok, there would be no one on here.

Regards
