Jelly Bean 4.3 Crashes My Sony Xperia SP

[Laknar]

I have updated my Sony Xperia SP to Android #4.3 a couple of months back since then my phone system is crashing like anything. Touch response is poor, Apps crash almost all the time I try. I had taken this issue to my nearest sony service centre and they say is that this is happening with every customer of them they see day in and day out. They were also adding that they have mad sony aware of this and hoping that Sony should come out with a firmware update soon. From the Forums that I have gone through so far regarding this it is clear to me that until Sony comes up with a system update to fix this nothing like rebooting without SIM card & memory card or factory resetting the phone is really going to help. All I am asking here is that if Sony is planning on releasing system update anytime soon? If so, when we could expect that to happen?

Although factory resetting the phone and reinstalling all the apps helped a bit, it really didn't help from app crashes, phone's relatively slow performance to my expectation. All I did this time was flashing my phone back to stock rom. Had downgraded the OS back to the state having OS and build # when it was bought originally. Now my phone has Android version 4.1.2 and build # 12.0.A.2.254. Have been using it for 3 weeks now and I should say it is absolute beauty. Haven't had any crash reports, response is instantaneous and smooth operation from the moment I touch and start using the phone. Guys, my advise to you if you are looking for a solution to this forum is that.. Just don't update your system if you have bought the phone brand new recently if you have happened to have updated your phone already.. Just flash it back to stock ROM. You should be able to Google and know how to do this.

I realize now why Sony hesitates to release Kitkat OS for this phone and now I get a strong feeling that they will never release an update to Kitkat OS. I wish they don't! Thanks and good luck everyone!!
