As we’re sure many Sony Xperia SP owners know by now, their handsets will not be upgraded to Android 4.4. Instead the best that Sony will do for them is update it to Android 4.3 Jelly Bean, which we guess is still a pretty big leap considering that the phone launched with Android 4.1 when it was first released.

Now the Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update has been pushed out back in February but in a recent update that Sony released to help squash some bugs, it seems to have created more problems for certain Sony Xperia SP owners instead, in the form of a flickering display which can prove to be pretty annoying and potentially battery-draining as well.

According to reports by Sony Xperia SP owners, it seems that post-update, they have begun to notice that their handset displays start to flicker which proves to be quite a distraction. So far there have been several methods attempted to fix this problem, such as checking if the screen protector is messing with the phone’s sensor, and some have even gone as far as flashing custom ROMs to see if maybe it could be an issue with the software (no luck).

One of the ways to go about getting rid of this is to revert back to older builds of Android. Sony has yet to comment on the issue but if you’re wondering how the flicker looks like, check it out in the video above for the details. So, any of our readers with Xperia SP handsets experiencing this flicker issue as well?

Despite the fact that the latest iteration of Google’s mobile platform is Android 4.4, there are still a lot of devices out there that are yet to be updated to even Android 4.3 Jelly Bean. OEMs and carriers usually take a lot of time to release these updates, primarily because there are a lot of steps involved before an update is deemed fit enough for public release. Today, the Sony Xperia SP Android 4.3 update has finally been rolled out, a pre-release build of this very update for this very smartphone was leaked last month.

Do you still remember the company that was once known as Sony Ericsson? Well, I must say that they came up with great looking handsets, but when it boils down to functionality, things were not looking all that hot for them. It has been a fair number of years now that they have severed their ties with Ericsson, and it is said that one of the reasons they decided to part ways with Ericsson was due to the higher chances of achieving a greater level of synergy within Sony. Well, if that were true, then it would have been further proven with the introduction of native support for its PlayStation 3 Dualshock 3 controller for Android-powered smartphones.

In a nutshell, you can use your Dualshock 3 controller to play games on your Android device, all without having to go through the headache and hassle of having to root or even hack your device. This functionality was revealed in the Settings menu of the upcoming Sony Xperia SP, where it showed off a “Dualshock 3 Wireless Controller” menu option. What games on Android do you think would work best with the Dualshock 3 controller?
