    I only got this phone 2 weeks ago and as soon as I got it home I got the Sony PC Companion for my laptop and immediately there was an update for it. Went thru the update and it got android version 4.2.1 on it. Brilliant. No complaints.

    That is until 2 days ago, another update. So I updated it. My experience with it since getting 4.3 has been very, VERY short of impressive. It's laggy as fück. They removed my ringtone (it was a stock ringtone) from the list. The app menu is different, my app folders present differently when pressed. Long press on the power button used to give me the option of taking a screenshot, that option is gone, I've no idea how to do this now.

    Who do I complain to and how do I restore it's previous version?

    Don't be daft, get used to it, you'll most likely not get another software upgrade

    Why should I have to put up with the incredible lag out of a brand new phone with a dual processor??? This didn't happen with the old software. That's the main issue. The rest I can deal with, just about.

    Did you try a factory reset to fix the lag, that's the third version of Android you have had on it. Upgrade of any OS can cause problems and bugs, happens on a pc too, it's best to start with a clean slate. That's the first thing I'd do.

    Will try that when I go home.
