Hello guys...!! Sony Xperia E gets new firmware update (11.3.A.2.33). My PC Companion shows this update on 3-July-2014. Hope it will give less lags.:fingers-crossed:
I personally not see any new in this update regarding new features and new options The new thing we see in first look is new and updated apps of google in app drawer. i.e. Updated playstore, hangouts (replacing google talk), Play Magazines, Google Settings, Play Movies, Play Games, Play Books, Google+. And also a new Build Number 11.3.A.2.33. (Previous 11.3.A.2.23)
How To update Sony Xperia E (who don't know how to)
1.There are two options to update XE i.e. using PC Companion and Sony update service.
2.Just Follow onscreen options/instructions to update XE in these softwares.
You can Easily get these softwares from Sony official site or simply search google.
Note: 1.You must have proper drivers install in your PC to update XE using these two sony softwares.
2.You can also go to nearby Sony Service Center to update your device.
Thanks, download and install it now
This update seems like a bad joke ..Even their applications has not updated ..
Better not say this update.
I think that you guys should wait a 11.3.A.3.xx update, the 2.xx are just minor updates.
That update does not think it will come
Where can i check about this update?Where does it say in the SONY website about what is changed?

Maybe this is the last update... the 18-month lifespan is almost up, and no sight of stock 4.x (x is an integer larger than 1)
PS: Android L? wtf is that?
Android L is the "new" android.It has to be android 5 i think (not sure read it somewhere) .

Yes I also think that it is a bad joke of Sony. We don't see any new features and options in this update. But I hope that this build number 11.3.A.33 gives less lags as compared to previous one. :fingers-crossed:

You can check Sony PC Companion or Sony update service for updates. In case you don't see update information in both softwares, you can wait for 2 or 3 days because update depends upon regions also. ( I see update information on 3 July 2014 in my PC Companion )
Please use one reply not 4 and i dont mean about where to download.I mean that i want to know what new in the firmware.
What's new in this update?
1) low lags
2) AOSP support
3) New google apps in stock firmware.
After using this new firmware i observe low lags. When i use my mobile after 2-3 hours it sometimes lags a lot.(in previous firmware). But now i feel less lags in stock launcher. ( it still sometimes lags....but gives better performance than previous firmware)
It takes less time to load apps which are stored in internal memory when i restart my device.

No no.
The 18 month policy is followed only for google phones.
So we can maybe expect another tiny tiny update just like this.
Can mail sony people tho

Also for samsung and some other brands. Sigh, keep hoping... XZ still receive updates...
And i dont want small updates. All the last update did was editing build.prop, wipe cache+dalvik (to give slight speed), and add a lockscreen. Apps are not even updated. All of us want a huge update. A 4.4 in the right time could even iron out the camera bug in CM11.
And, what did u say? Do u think they'll make an update because of a mail? U know what we need.

And your signature. What new?

I can't find any update news at google.
Where is the source of ROM files? Is that where the leak?
Leaked, not official. And the news should be from HTC, not Google.
What does this new unofficial hopefully becomes official update bring to the table?
What does it fix?
Battery? SMS jump problem?
more internal memory? tee-hee

Unknown fixes. Since it's unofficial there are no release notes about it. It might or might not fix some important things, can't really notice as I actually did not have any major issues with the 1.18 anyways . Basically it adds a few more features.. Hopefully by the time it becomes official HTC will fix some more issues, and also include the new market release.
SMS jump feature is fixed but now you get the conversation list without being able to reply (no reply box).

All custom analog watch faces are displaying incorrect time on the update 1.6.22 from Dec 17
I have the same problem with custom digital watchfaces and date-widgets (the day's number is not displayed)
Yes dates are gone too, but the time displayed has nothing to do with actual time...
The built in Sony clocks work
To be precise, the hour handle is not moving
when I tried to change the watchface and try a new one my SW2 powered off and now when I try to power it on I see the Sony logo then the upgrade firmware progress bar and an endless boot loop with the same result... I have tried everything but I can't use it now....
Hi all I've sent my contact at Sony an email regarding these new issues introduced as part of the update. I've also provided a link to this thread for reference. Please bear with me while I try to resolve this issue with my custom JJW Watchfaces.
Cheers
Julian

I have no problem with watchface, but music widget seem not working, include Play and forward button
Latest firmware update broke any analog custom watchface, date is no more displayed and hour hand don't sign exact time.
I think Sony had to release a patch asap, SW2 is the better smartwatch for value on the market, it needs only a better software. Sony made a good job in the past but now lack in debugging and release a poor software update.

I used PC companion and updated my SW2 by selecting the previous model because there is no SW2 there and it worked! :highfive:
I've compiled ClockWidget from Sony's SDK samples, just in case. They're broken in absolutely the same way.
sent a tweet to Sony about it, not expecting any reply, they never bothered to do anything with the selectable screen timeout request either
https://twitter.com/JarlSX/status/545505775251390466
You can always try emailing [email protected]. Google Play has a policy that developers must respond to support requests within 48 hours else they risk being suspended from Google Play store. I've emailed them as well as their developer support so hopefully we get a response soon.

It would be a miracle if Sony did anything at all in 48 hours time. OK, lets wait and see what happens.
I have open a tiket from sony in italy. Waiting for response.
i've sent a mail to the address @julz mentioned, better than doing nothing
I've also tried messaging Sony via Facebook so hopefully I hear something back. I've also reached out to one of my more friendly contacts in Sony Australia to see if there's anything they can do internally to escalate the issue so fingers crossed!?

I've experienced the same problem.
1. Date no longer can be displayed.
2. Hour hand stops working.
That sucks!
Yes, the last update broke the custom clocks.

Hello xda community,
I am considering your help regarding FB app on Xperia E3.
Until yesterday, the Facebook app that I had on my phone was the one preinstalled, that came with the phone itself. That version was the one I used until now. Yesterday, the app told me about a update, promising me that "is the fastest". But the design itself changed a lot. Nevertheless, for example, I cannot longer swipe from the left to the right for viewing newsfeed, groups, etc; all these features being available in the right side of the screen.
My question is if someone can give me a link to the original Xperia E3 Facebook apk.?
I tried downloading old versions, backdated to september 2014, but the design it the same!
I hope you understand my problem and I kindly wait for your answer!
All the best.

Try to uninstall the update of the app. It should help
To install the Google play store simply head to Apkmirror.com or Apkpure.com and download the store from there. After that you can install all your favorite apps from the Google play store it's as simple as that. One final note if you are in China you will need a VPN to be able to use Google services and the play store. Goodluck!
In the future, i will be updating this thread title & date if there is a new update to the CN firmware. Good luck

New minor security(month of October) & stability update Ver. 1810.77 (120 mb).
New Update has arrived enabling Aura lighting for calls and app notifications, other updates include network speed and November security patch.
*Cyan strobe light for incoming call.
*Orange strobe for missed calls or app notifications in general(default) but you can customize the color for each app.
By the way if you are wondering yes the led notification and Aura Lighting both work at the same time when you have a notification so if your phone is turned back or is up front you will not miss your notifications.
I love this phone. Thanks ASUS?

Most likely it's just a software bug, anyway i haven't faced such issues because I don't play resource intensive games like PUBG so I can't tell.
New Update V.1812.68-0!.
New minor update Ver. 1920.80-0.
Really hating these garbage updates for the accessories. No fixes for any of the crucial problems with the accelerometer, microphone, etc.
So I just purchased a pro and coming from a 6a. I noticed when I switch to the 7 pro the notification icon was different. It was updated to look like the new app icon. I had to reset my phone and when I reset the notification icon went back to it's regular thing lol how can I get it back? Does anybody know what I'm talking about or do I just sound crazy lol please help. 🥹
current icon on the left
i want the notification icon on the right lol
Currently, you just sound crazy haha. But the notification icon should always appear to match the new app icon. If yours isn't after a drive reset, just give it time and it should correct itself automatically (maybe after a day or two).

Ehh, just give it some time. Whenever I do a full wipe before flashing a new update to my phone, certain features just aren't available for an unknown amount of days. For example, some of the Google Phone features don't show up for a week or two. And once they do show up, they only seem to roll in one feature at a time lol.
This delayed feature rollout after a wipe and fresh OS installation seems to be the current Google Mystery lol

No problem. If it never changes over in another week, feel free to reply to one of my comments and I can help ya out. You MIGHT need to do another wipe and OS reinstallation (which I can also help you with, if necessary) if the notification icon just refuses to change after more time passes.
We'll see what happens =D

And no worries. A complete wipe, reinstallation, setup and root access usually doesn't take longer than 10 minutes lol. But, I suppose it may seem like a lot of work to people less nerdy than me, haha.

10 minutes? In what universe? You cannot be serious! A few years ago it would take several hours for a factory reset/new setup! I'm assuming you mean "factory reset" when you say complete wipe???
Today I can do everything in maybe...MAYBE 2 or 3 hours but 10 minutes??? No way! You gotta be joking.

APK version shouldn't matter. I have the exact same build as you and don't have the issue that you are facing.
For what I use my phone for (basic phone functions, internet, YouTube) I don't think it's worth the risk of pushing something through unofficially - as a user uploaded APK could
always be slightly modified in some way.
*Edit* - And you also have the latest build of the app, haha. We're on the beta build - which may have been confusing my man Stano.
*Edit 2.0* - @jaseman I mean flashing the entire OS from the most up-to-date factory image via fastboot - which does indeed wipe the user partition of the drive unless you choose to modify the default flash-all document or choose to do it all manually without wiping that drive partition. But regardless of which method you choose, it still only takes me around 10 minutes to do all of that, restore my data and to grant myself root access again.
