As promised by Sony, android 4.3 firmware update has already been rolled on Xperia Z1 and Z Ultra a week ago and yesterday we saw android 4.3 party arriving on Xperia Z, ZL, ZR and Tablet Z. Now as per Sony’s post Xperia SP, T, TX and V are left behind with android 4.3 update which will receive directly from android 4.1.2 update.
Just now we spotted Android 4.3 12.1.A.0.253 firmware certified for Xperia SP C5302, C5303 and C5306 on PTCRb website. As per the date of certification it should come by the end of year 2013 or in early starting of year 2014 hopefully. Check the certification of Android 4.3 12.1.A.0.253 firmware.

Xp xt xv firmware still in testig so no firmware certified yet on ptcrb
bugs I'm facing are:
Even when Auto-rotate is off, Email app rotates. Very annoying while using it lying down on bed.
Pathetic WiFi range and network catching issues.
Proxy sensors weird behavior.
Auto brightness doesn't work.
Screen goes blank most often while unlocking. (Has to press power button twice to see lock screen).
Touchscreen issues recognizing touch.
Recently updated Smart Connect app which led to failure of Media server and Throw. Although its a app based bug, but still dev is SONY.
There are few more, but don't remember them ATM..
Hi, bugs I'm facing are below:
1) Sometime there is blank black screen on incoming call, cannot see who is calling. I need to double click the power button to see the callers name or number.
2) Soundhound or Shazam cannot find microphone to listen the music and recognize it, I need to turn of and on device and then it's work.
3) Sometime camera is not recording the video, its turns of automatically, it works after restarting the device.
Thanks in advence
Can anybody say that when will Xperia T be upgraded to 4.3.
Sony should realize that patience also havelimit.
Sony Ericsson service was better than Sony.
Hopefully only next year now, it is still in testing
Nothing yet?
