Xperia extremely slow....

[Rayday]

My Xperia sp was stupendous before I updated to 4.3, it was fast and smooth and never froze. Now, it just keeps freezing at everything I do! It takes ages opening every app andI have to keep emergency shutting down!
Here's what I have tried:
Getting a 32gb sd card and moving as much data as possible to it (I couldn't move the apps)
Disabling Google Chrome
Removing the cache of my apps
Is there anything else that could possibly help? And why is it so slow on 4.3?

4.3 needs more RAM than previous versions.You should restart the phone regularly.Maybe try a software repair.

Oh. Is there anyway to downgrade to 4.1.2? Please tell me there is.

See here.But be careful that it might void warranty.

Thanks man. But are you sure this is safe for my phone?

I have the same problem with my phone. Can anyone tell me what's the point of releasing an update for a phone with this amount of RAM which need it so much that this practically makes my phone useless? Does the people who done this, didn't even check this or what?!?!?!?

I think the Android community in general needs to come up with better testing methods. Sony are not the only ones to release dodgy updates. It's not doing the platform's reputation any good.

I am really disgusted with this. To release an update that will turn good phones into useless bricks is worse than foolish. I really want to revert to the old version of OS, but I cannot do that if it means invalidating the warranty. What should I do?
