Few discrepancies in Xperia SP after 4.3 update

SureshKumarB — Tue, 25 Feb 2014 07:44:59 GMT

Dear Sony,
I have updated my Xperia SP (C5302) with Android 4.3 and I am happy with all the enhancements. Thank you for the update.

However, I have few constraints. Please see below,

Battery drains a lot, even though I use Stamina mode to improve the battery life, but if of no use. It is getting drained in 12 hours. Note: I use 3G network all the time.
RAM usage is more after 4.3 update, so that I get very less free RAM (only 200 mb). Though it doesn't impact the performance, I feel that free RAM should be more to start and run some big apps.

Also, if I perform the Software Repair using PCC, do I loose all my apps and its updates installed from Play Store?

Do you have any suggestions or solutions for these discrepancies?

Thanks & Regards,
Suresh Kumar.B

I love new update too..I have no ram problem..battry also works good

I recommend you to repair via Sony Update Service..all of your data on internall storage will gone.

You can backup your apps on Google plqy and download them after repair(please ask other also about backup your apps on Google..as im not completely sure)

After repair your problem with ram will fix and you get about 350free ram

About battery..if you updated recently just wait!after sometime battry will work fine..let the new sw to adapt with new condition..battery life is a little shorter than 4.1

Do you mean to say that first reset to factory settings and then repair using sus

Re: Few discrepancies in Xperia SP after 4.3 update

Danial-mach1 — Tue, 25 Feb 2014 12:38:52 GMT

just perform reset to factory

by goto setting>back up &reset>factory data reset

if your problem exist after reset then repair via SUS

And Danial does reset factory settings take back the firmware to 4.1 or will it be 4.3

Re: Few discrepancies in Xperia SP after 4.3 update

Danial-mach1 — Tue, 25 Feb 2014 12:42:46 GMT

nor factory reset nor repair via SUS will not take you to older firmware

Some of the apps just crashes... I recently updated Google now.. But when I try to open it crashes... Very bad... I think I'm gonna have to go back to 4.1.2 until all the bug fixes are done...

Hey Danial , Thanks Buddy Many issues got resolved after the reset to factory settings... But few bugs still remain like the illumination bar thing... But over all its fine to use now no hanging its smooth..
