Xperia M Android 4.3 testing scheduled says Vodafone Australia

Sony rolled Android 4.2.2 on Xperia M Dual but it left Xperia M on android 4.1.2, the then Xperia M users are asking us when they will get android 4.2.2 update. As per Sony’s earlier plan for android 4.3 update, only a few phones will be getting android 4.3 for now and the ones which are left are Xperia M, Xperia L, Xperia E, Xperia C.

We just noticed on Vodafone Australia blog where they have posted a software update schedule for some handsets, it seems Xperia M will directly be updated to android 4.3 from android 4.1.2, at present status of Xperia M android 4.3 is “testing scheduled”. Besides Xperia M, Xperia SP and TX are also seen with android 4.3 status as in “testing”.

Check the Xperia M android 4.3 software update plan of Vodafone Australia.

When we asked concerned Vodafone Australia support that are they sure that Xperia M will get android 4.3 as Sony clearly mentioned on their blog that Xperia M will not get android 4.3 so in return we got a reply that “As soon as everything runs smoothly in testing phase, Xperia M will get android 4.3 update”.

Check below the copy of our conversation with the Vodafone Australia support on Xperia M Android 4.3 update confirmation.

If somehow Xperia M gets Android 4.3 update by chance then it will be a big surprise for us as Xperia L left out with android 4.2.2 update and Xperia M getting Android 4.3. Kindly note that it may or may not come, as Sony has not come up with any official word on Android 4.3 for Xperia M till now.

Last night Xperia SP got new 12.1.A.0.266 firmware certified and Xperia T, V getting 9.2.A.0.295 firmware certified on PTCRB, it can be the case that it is the firmware which Vodafone Australia has put up on their blog.

How do you feel Xperia L users, if Android 4.3 is rolled on Xperia M in future and nothing for Xperia L. What do you think Xperia M users, excited about android 4.3 huh ? Drop your comments below.

A few moments ago, a new Xperia SP Android 4.3 12.1.A.0.266 firmware was also certified.

9.2.A.0.295 firmware is certified for all variants of Xperia T and Xperia V. Sadly no android 4.3 firmware has been certified for Xperia TX LT29i till now on PTCRB. 9.2.A.0.295 firmware certification at this time clearly indicates Sony is till working on android 4.3 and previously certified all builds were buggy.

A few days back we saw Android 4.3 12.1.A.0.253 firmware getting certified on PTCRB and then later a new Android 4.3 12.1.A.0.256 firmware was certified on PTCRb but now it is removed which keeps us in dark that which android 4.3 firmware will be actually rolled out.

If you still want to taste the android 4.3 flavor on Xperia SP, then you can install the leaked Android 4.3 12.1.A.0.256 firmware ROM which only works for unlocked bootloader phone.

@ImAnurag27 Sorry for the delay, the Xperia SP will be getting 4.3, however we can’t provide a specific date.

— Sony Xperia (@sonyxperia) December 31, 2013

When we asked will Xperia SP gets android 4.3 in 1st week of Jan 2014, they decided to remain mum on this issue.

@ImAnurag27 The Xperia T, TX and V will be getting 4.3, time and availability will be informed through our blogs and @SonyMobileNews

— Sony Xperia (@sonyxperia) December 31, 2013

We do expect that it should come soon in 1st week of Jan 2014.
What do you think Xperia SP users are you frustrated over Sony for delaying so much android 4.3 for Xperia SP ?

Xperia T and Xperia V Android 4.3 9.2.A.0.276 firmware Certified

Finally a happy news for Sony Xperia T and Xperia V users who were asking again and again when android 4.3 update will come to their devices, just now we spotted PTCRB has certified Android 4.3 9.2.A.0.276 firmware for both Xperia T and Xperia V. At present Xperia T and Xperia V are on android 4.1.2 9.1.A.1.145 firmware.

9.2.A.0.276 firmware changes the build from 9.1.A.X.XXX to 9.2.A.X.XXX which clearly indicates a significant major update i.e. Android 4.3 as promised by Sony. To our surprise no android4.3 firmware is certified for Xperia TX yet on PTCRB website.

Android 4.3 9.2.A.0.276 firmware certified by PTCRB for Xperia T

Both Xperia T versions LT30p and LT30a will be getting similar Android 4.3 9.2.A.0.276 firmware update.

We expect Android 4.3 9.2.A.0.276 firmware soon will also be certified for Xperia TX.

It is speculated that Xperia T, Xperia TX and Xperia V will get the same UI as which other Xperia Z family members got in their android 4.3 update recently and if it not comes then surely it would be a disappointment for the users who are eagerly waiting for it.

Android 4.3 firmware isn’t released for Xperia SP yet so we expect it should comes anytime now and as far as Xperia T, TX and V are concerned it may be rolled after 1st week of Jan 2014. What do you think Xperia T, TX and V users ? Are you happy now…Drop your comments below.

Xperia SP android 4.3 12.1.A.0.252 firmware screenshot Leaked – Test Build or Fake ?

A few moment ago we posted that PTCRB has certified Xperia SP Android 4.3 12.1.A.0.253 firmware officially now and just now a tipster sent us an alleged screenshot from the Xperia SP android 4.3 12.1.A.0.252 firmware. 12.1.A.0.252 firmware is just point number short of official 12.1.A.0.253 firmware certified.

Nothing can be said yet whether the screenshot is real or a fake one as 12.1.A.0.253 firmware is about to comes as Android 4.3 on Xperia SP very soon and this leaked screenshot must be from previous builds in testing, if it is legit it must be from test build from previous firmware.
