Well as I see the phone now is optimized as I couldn't expect it to be...
In fact its smoother and better on everything you do.
I didn't expect such good performance from an update
How about camera quality? Is it better or same?
Is it me or is lock screen widget missing?

I wouldn't say so
Flickering bug is NOT resolved
You can still see how screen brightness goes up and down when you find yourself in low light environment.
But you can still resolve it like before... by unticking Adapt to lighting conditions in brightness adjustment

It's not a new feature..
My review: Its 13:13 hrs from when I restarted the last time (I was rebooting as i was activating modules) Then I played until 1% battery last night, then recharged all night until 6:00 am m.o.l today (Mexico :fingers-crossed: ) Then I leave it for 1 hour and a half I guess, it was near 8:00 when i started playing RR3 until my cars need to be repaired with only 1 mechanic xD, almost an hour of RR3, really smooth without any great overheting as it did on .201, I had to say, then i cheked messenger quick, next played MC4 starting from middle mission 9 until I finished it completely xD (mission 12) almost 3/4 hour, then I played injustice 40 minutes in total, as I interrupted for breakfast, any of this games had lag nor overheating....
To be continued.... (sorry I have more screenies so I need to make another post)
My review part 2: Next I continued playing Hungry shark for almost 20 minutes, so in total i got almost 3 full hours (or more) with full heavy paying, as screen shows almost 3 hours too, i have to say i use it at middle brightness with auto adapt, I still have 14%, no overheat, again...
To be continued.... (two screens more with RAM management for me)
My review part 3: RAM management.. yesterday I tried playing RR3 but FC when entering specific races, so I tuned minfrees i will give you them if you want later in this post..
Now its great, over 300Mb Free as RAM in recents show (gravitybox), dunno why when entering to settings/apps/running it decreases a lot, but exiting increases it again, as you can see I have messenger, facebook, there was injustice too, so I would say its parcially fixed as I had to tune the minfrees that's my review.. in general terms its smooth! better than .201? YES, it hasn't freezed, seems Massive Storage function isnt working yet, but i think is quite stable and blazing fast, now I don't miss my One X, f***ing 60+° when playing and 2 hour maximum playing 2d games xD my dualcore SPlendid phone is much better now! I love it :victory: what do you think?
oh yeah my minfrees: (do not blame me if they dont work for you, they work for me)
foreground: 8Mb (2048)
visible: 14Mb (3584)
secondary: 14Mb (3548)
Hidden: 130Mb (33280)
Content provider: 145Mb (37120)
Empty app: 160Mb (40960)

The new update for X10 is out already! after about 8 hours of using and about 7-8 reboots the phone seems fast now!
Now what does that mean it means we can implement All 2.3.3,2.3.4 or 2.2 roms out there with the Perfect camera!
and the kernal can be used to Tether and roms running 2.3.3 can be made rock stable!!!!
Android version - 2.3.3
BB - 2.1.71
Build no - 3.0.1.G.0.75
Apps included in stock
-Timescape
-New music app(with new skin and easy to use UI! much faster than Mediascape)
-new camera app(similar UI)
-New Gallery
-Track ID
-Media Discovery
-News and Weather
-Google maps,latitude,talk,gmail,places,navigation,youtube and voice search
-playnow store
-office suite
-postcard
-sync
Soon Dev section will overflow with new Roms and old ones updated. Z is working on something big i guess! and J rom will soon be completed
All other GReat Devs will be out with new Blazing roms!
-after a few reboot Phone seems faster and glides through Menu and Gallery and timescape(Lame app)
-2.3.3 Running for 8 hours no Wlod no crash! running smooth and No need of any app killers as GB is optimised in app handling
-Large Scrollable photo and video widget works GREAT
-Camera works Great go you cant get the UI to Potrait mode, but the pictures are much better than 2.1. 720p Recording is smooth and focus during recording is mind blowing really loving it!
-The screen off animation works well, edge glow is clear and is not pixelated(White edge glow)
-keyboard works fine and responsive and the text cursor works well
-Tether work Fine and network is great with new BB!
- the highest possible for me is 187mb free memory with using native app killer but mostly GB can handle this well so you wont slow down!
-there is a new feature added now i dont know if it is a Pro or a Con. when downloading something from the Market a cyan Led blinks and while installing from market cyan led blinks indicating Downloading and installing!
-The vibration seems much more responsive as soon as you get a Msg it vibrates and the vibration intensity has also been increased
-x10 now give cyan Notif light whenever you install something,download something, or you miss your alarm or any other important notifs are
show by this Led good feature but i hate it at night when i am using it!
-NO BOOTloader is not unlocked
-NO Fps cap removal or increase
-NO 16 million colours
-NO Multi touch or improved Dual touch
-Low call volume
-Cam Flash still the old lame Photo light! work around Vig works fine but not as good as the New 2.3.3 Camera
-No improvements in Screen or any display aspect
Whats best after having the update!(note: if your reading this now dont download the update from SEUS)
-now at first the Bravia engine was thought to be a joke but now it really gives more sharper and vivid images!thx to Z again
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193274
-sony's fps cap makes moving through the screens a pain in the neck thanks to Z for his fps uncap!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192867
IF you think doing this one by one is a pain in the neck then download Wolfs X TW
which already has pulled out Sont crap apps
and Fps uncap+BraviaEngine 100%
and its optimised
If you are starting from 2.1 or 2.2 roms i recommend going with Wolf's rom as its both faster and has more features than stock!

You should thank me cause' I accidentally thanked you lol.
1. Can't use as Flash.
2. Run smooth but lag when using app killer
3. Usually ~45% Free and when kill ~65% free. Task will rise up to 40 tasks after killed for 2mins
4. Run smooth, look the Arc and you will see that they are the same.

- Cam Flash still the old lame Photo light! work around Vig works fine but not as good as the New 2.3.3 Camera

- the highest possible for me is 187mb with using native app killer but mostly GB can handle this well so you wont slow down!
-No improvements in Screen or any display aspect
- i will when possible. my cam is currently not working so i must find some other way!
I don't know, for me the GB update feels very clunky. It's slow ,laggy, and actually gets worse than 2.1 sometimes. It's super stable though and camera is a huge plus, and I'm loving facebook inside xperia.

Very pleased with the update. I think SE did a great job! I actually for once like the new timescape widget...however what bugs me is that they didn't link the camera to timescape anymore. So, once root is available, im affraid timescape has to go lol. If they would have linked the camera to it, I for sure would have kept timescape this time.
My only other thing is im patiently waiting for a root method...I know there's pre-rooted firmware, but Im just not in the mood to flash back to 2.1, root it, blah blah blah. So i'll wait.
I just hope Z or someone is actually working on a root method?
Overall, SE, very slick update,, congrats!

I agree. Timescape and the whole Facebook inside Xperia concept is amazing and works well. I just wish there was a way to 'show friendship' like in facebook, where it groups you and that person's FB tagged pics, status tags, wall posts etc. into one app. That would be cool.
First of all I want to clarify, this is Oodie's ROM and I wanted to share my experience with you, it's really worth trying. All Credits goes to Oodie

2-3 days? Damn. I used to get 2.5 days while on Wolfbreak. But on MIUI I get max 1 day. I have to charge next morning with 20% remaining battery. I am on alexander MIUI.
I keep my 2G internet on every day. Approx 5mb internet is used.
These days I dont use set cpu coz I hate lagging and this rom gives excellent performance.
Is this only for miui? Not stock?
I got force close when try upload a video to Youtube from gallery
Got my 2600Mah battery to last 10 days and the original 1500 Mah to 5. Normal use and handling (although someone should define "normal" here). Can this be beaten?

unless you didn't use it
oodie rom rocks even if the last one have some bugs .-) theme doesnt apply and when you go in setting display to do the brightness fix it gets stuck and than continues repeating the bootlogo.
my x10 info is :
MODEL number : x10i
Android version : 2.3.3
Baseband version: 2.1.7.1
Kernel version: 2.6.29-00054-g5f01537 [email protected]#1

will it work on my device ?
Which unlocker is that? Does it come with the ROM? That's the one I want!

My "normal" use includes, but is not limited to:
1. 30 minute listening to music every day (to and from work)
2. whatever calls I get (usually around 2-3 per day), I try not to call from my mobile.
3. No internet/bluetooth/3g/WiFi/Tampering with the device longer than 10 minutes per day unless urgently needed!
4. 4 daily alarms
5. No Viber, but full widgets on 4 pages, and always memory resident: Battery Mix, ADW Launcher, Android Assistant, Autokiller Memory Optimizer, Prey, Vibration Notifier, Where's my droid. Of course some apps are killing some others, but usually that's my list. My phone is usually not battery abused, but sometimes it gets more than abused (especially when I use the GPS)!!
I was using Cyanogen MOD ZMOD 003 and have switched to VMOD 5.1 (no 6.0 yet!), no overclocking, smartass v2, brightness to 0 and my battery is a 2600 MAh from e-bay.
Oh, and I call your BS BS!!! And if you want more proof, just tell me what you need to believe it.
this ROM is really a good one,but if u really want an iphone look, why didn't u buy an iphone in first place ? i can`t get it with all the MUIUIUIUIU stuff, really

only if you switched to 2G or switch of the internet when ot in use...
AND
}
Hardly ever played games for no longer than 5 mins 2 times a day.
OR
Only used it for calls for no longer than 5 mins 2 times a day.
{
OR never EVER had your phone's signal GMS drop below 2 bars for longer than 5 hours while trying to get news off the internet using the built in stock browser and 3G.
Even with current "hyper active, ultra slim or slick roms" this can still be a issue.
BUT i can assure you using the wi-fi in a good hot spot works very well.
Bluetooth... some how uses more power than the wi-fi... why am i not shocked.
My X10 may be dead.. but i still remember the image burned into my flesh...
The 2600ma battery.. i can think helps a ****load.
Almost or.. is... doubling the amount of current the x10 holds will most definitely help.
But the stock battery is useless..
no 3G and no internet will give your phone a life of atleast 5 working days,monday-friday
i do it often
i am on stock SE 2.3 ROM
So i make this thread to see who is happy with that firmware and who is not and who have the same annoying problems as me...
I think we all love xperia SP as a device for design and specs but i also think that 0.266 suckZ..
I will sent this to sony when votes are enough. .

maybe you should try some apps as "greenify" or "clean master" as they dont need root.. Idk if they fix something with your problem cause i never used 4.3 for more than 2 hours... but you still can try.. you can free more ram by disable your widgets too ..
low ram, lags & freezes all the time. poor multi-tasking also. 266 really does eat dirt

Many people say SuperCharger has only placebo effects. I used to think the same way. Until I got 4.3 update from Sony with its poor ram management.
Few days ago I installed SuperCharger MOD with service.jar patched. I used to have launcher redraws, keyboard disappearing, etc. Especially when I open heavy ram earwr app like chrome. Now, I rarely have these issues. I suggest you to try it out. I am now happy with my Xperia SP.

Few days ago I installed SuperCharger MOD with service.jar patched. I used to have launcher redraws, keyboard disappearing, etc. Especially when I open heavy ram earwr app like chrome. Now, I rarely have these issues. I suggest you to try it out. I am now happy with my Xperia SP.

my main problem is screen flickering like a pulse every 1 second... everywhere.. in ui,games,photos.. even in cwm.. i cant fix it i have tried EVERYTHING .. differend kernels differend roms... 4.4 liquid rom with nayan kernel do the same :S its very annoying... but with 4.1.2 all works perfect...
266 is a piece of crap. when I bought the phone I upgraded right from the start to 4.3... and almost returned it to the store. but then I decided to downgrade to 4.1.2... man, its like heaven. best rom ever lol
When at 4.1.2, the song app will be stopped once i open chrome for browsing less than one song,
now at 4.3, the song apps will only be stopped/closed after 6 or 7 songs..
Although is an improvement, but i belief it is still a problem for android 4.3 for SP
I am back to stock .254. Avoiding all those bloatware prefering dolphin, shuttle music player, etc. So far, encountering no issues and system is fast. And I'm still resisting the urge to flash rooted 4.3.
In .266 everything is bad.
1)Ram management is 1big problem
2)volume bar disappeared
3)call starts with loudspeaker On
4)Camera..Maybe Sony installed 2.0 mp camera and telling it's 8.0 mp.
5)etc.

On my 254 - I greenify those apps which never exit even when I close them. And I freeze those not used.
Today, i spent 1 hour on music and 30 minutes fiddling with my calendar. Lost 7% (only?) battery...
Don't know - maybe 266 may increase its battery span as well if I apply the same processes...

maybe you should try some apps as "greenify" or "clean master" as they dont need root.. Idk if they fix something with your problem cause i never used 4.3 for more than 2 hours... but you still can try.. you can free more ram by disable your widgets too ..

As I know, Android will use RAM as many as possible. It is not same as Windows. When the phone needs more memory, the system will close background apps and unused apps automatically. So the Task Killer, Task Manager, Clean Master, is SUCKS. It will make your Android more slowly
Greenify will hibernate the apps, but I think the system will still uses half of memory if I'm not edit the build.prop, needs ROOT to edit :'(

It sound like a real big problem if u (well, all we) says '4.3 have a lot of bugs' but actually a don't think that ppl in that forum take it serious when the poll have just 59 voters xD

they allready know that its a bug-fw.. every day people complain about problems on 4.3... and what makes me mad is that for almost all problems the solution is "do repair with sus" or "do factory reset" or "go your phone to local service" xD nvm at least the confirmed new bug fixing update... i can w8 for ever.. i just hope they will fix ALL the bugs..

Yeah sure, my point was that it would be cool have a lot of voters in that poll xD, so Sony could have a clear view (with external data) of whats is more important and what is actually causing issues with the XSP...
And... sadly my hopes are not so big with the new frimmware, it was more than 2 weeks and is not released yet....
In my case my major bugs is battery drain in 3g (the sonyericcson.wakeup thing) and ram management... and actually, a repair with PCC taked off all other bugs for me, and I did it only once xD
Hey guys, since 4.4.2 has arrived.. I think its fair to create a thread where all of us can report whatever bugs exist in 10.5.A.0.230.. So that Sony can see this and fix them.. Or it might help our devs..
EDIT:
Bugs i found,
1. Wifi gets disabled by itself, a simple reboot solves it though.
2. Small stuttering on the notification bar.
3. RAM leak exists but gets fixed after a reboot(Google's 4.4.2 bug and its fixed in 4.4.3).
4. GPU drivers arent as good as in 4.3..
5. Over time, the fw becomes unstable'ish and shows some lags and apps take time to open.
6. Sometimes calls won't reach the other side and when it does, the caller(us) wont be able to hear anything from the other side.. This happens a lot like once in every 2-3 days..
7. Sometimes after video recording, there is no sound in the video.. Its MUTE..
7. All 4.4.2 Google's bugs..
If u have any other to add, mention me and i'll add em..
Fixes:
Most of the bugs are solved automatically after a simple reboot, if u face lags do wipe cache and dalvik cache and u will see the difference..
Google Play Services battery drain bug can be solved by disabling the Location service.

can someone post the screenshotys of the new UI and screens.... thanks..
I still can not hear the audio notification via bluetooth, Type whatsapp, viber, sms ... Sony removed this possibility since 4.3. It worked fine until the 4.2 version 67

It seems to be normal that 4.4 is a bit laggy, try out the following: "Settings--> Developer Options --> Force-GPU Rendering", after rebooting it should be a bit better :good:

Try enabing Force 4x MSAA or something.. It removes some lags too..
Huge battery drain from Google Play Services after the upgrade. I'm down to 30% battery after 4 hours. Google Play Services has taken 50% of that.

Yeah its really annoying for kitkat to have a huge drain off battery
By the way, does anyone already tried this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix
Im still on 4.3 but confirmed info from my friend:
Camera app slower start, typical is 7sec but max was 14-17sec, and overall laggy camera menu.
Stock keyboard slower start, and laggy text select option.
Overall speed of menu is worst.
No audio notification via bluetooth
Battery "sucker" system apps.
4.4 stupid SD card limitation(but its google stupid idea)
Worst performance with GTA: SA
PS enabling Force-GPU Rendering or {omg} 4x MSAA is worst thing that you can do, because it make older apps lag or even FC.

Not this but a xposed module, it works as it should.

Same performance in games (Real Racing 3), slightly better battery usage, almost same RAM usage, no lag in notification bar/area, for now superstable and smooth.
Saw someone posted that there's no the letter " L " to tap while pressing the 4.4.2 3 times,it just turns black screen,and few more press to reach the Android KitKat logo.
Looks like .227 and .230 is the same,Sony devs didn't fix anything.
We need to fix ourself...

It was expected,seems like they didn't put much effort into this,just to give us "something".I knew it they are not delaying the release just to perfect the firmware,but oh well,going back to my favorite AOSP.It was the same case back then,when they released 4.3 journalists version,then they gave us the very same firmware as official,despite the bugs that everyone was reporting.We got what we deserve I guess.

We deserve what we paid for. We didn't pay for some laggy ****.
Took 6 Months to release and we got a half baked sluggish rom. Reminds me on Sony's ICS Update.

Today I found something interesting happened to my phone it was running buttery smooth like it should be (821), and most of all the game i play everyday wasnt lagging at all, PUBG
Solution: DO NOT USE SMART CLEANING app or any other kind of it, your phone will start running smooth in next 3 4 days or maybe less.
Try this and share me your experiences.
Comment to let me know you're trying this.
Thanks. I'll give it a try and see if it makes a difference, because the amount of lag I experience while playing Cytus II is unbearably bad and makes the game nearly unplayable.
So dont use anything at all and itll work smooth? ok ill try that
Hi
Are you referring to the Smart Doctor build in app?
Did you disable or uninstall it?
It's been 3 days and I've reached a verdict. Doing as the OP said actually made games run better. By that, I mean I disabled Smart Cleaning via LG Package Disabler and deleted Google Files Go.
I'm not kidding about this helping. Cytus II is playable now at full 1440p 60fps, with very few lagspikes. Other games I've played, like Alto's Odyssey, run somewhat better as well.
Go try it out yourself, it may help a lot!

The name is "Smart Cleaning" app. No disable/uninstall, I'm just not using it that's it. You can disable/uninstall it if you want.

After a factory reset a couple days ago the antutu graphics benchmark got noticeably choppier, especially the "marooned" scene which was previously completely fluid. That was a disappointment since that was one of the reasons for going through that process! I've now removed Google files go and I will see if that makes a difference, I hope it does. If so, thank you in advance.
Btw I think you meant "1440p" (QHD) not "2160p", that's 4k! ?

This is serious guys, I deleted Smart Cleaning by ADB and my gaming experience increase magically, Shadowgun Legends can run quite good with Ultra high 60fps setting, it couldn't do that before. Unbelievable
PS: Tested only with latest Android 7.0
I have zero lag and i use smart doctor every other day.

Well, two weeks from when i see this thread and i stop using SmartDoctor / SmartCleaning app, just to say, this guy is right, using SmartDoctor / SmartCleaning app will (somehow, and i dont know how and why) make you phone laggy and in my tests if i open it like between 2 or 3 days and make a clean all UI and the app frezzes and i need to wait almost 1 minute to phone get out of the app and all be OK again.
So, my test really gives reason to this guy and i will delete the app from the phone, and i recomend all people with rooted G6 to do the same and use CCleaner instead to clean cache from apps and so on...
to the guy who discover the guilty of the lag: i cant pay you a beer, but you will be my hero forever.
Not working for me unfortunately... Still quite a bit of lag playing heavier games like csr2, Rr3 (practically unplayable), hungry shark world ?
I've had the phone since September last year and I don't think I've used it for more than 10 times. It lags anyway. Lowering the resolution does wonders, but it has some bugs that I don't like so I've switched back to lag.

If you are rooted, I highly recommend installing the new Adreno 530 driver, there is a decent improvement in games and definitely in Antutu...
does this stil work as of now?
This reads like bull****. What is "smart cleaning"? Is it supposed to be an app? The instructions are super unclear.
Smart Doctor cannot be disabled either. You can just disable it running in the background.
