When I updated to 4.3 my phonepad was still available to use AND even being an option under keyboard settings. I changed various times to qwerty to try out but then back again to phonepad no problem. After a couple of more tries doing this, my option of using phonepad disappeared completely & now no way to get back!?

WHY remove this option? The qwerty keyboard I just don't like & hard to get used to. Why is it possible to use this under the chinese keyboard but not main/international one? Bug?

Also, I noticed the smiley key 😕 & :-S brings up the same smiley for both. It shows :-S

Since I have loaded the lastest softwear update my phone is using batery much quicker and has no started to feel very hot even when not in use. I seem to remember the new updated wanted access to my location could this be the problem. I have no apps running in the background so see no reason for this problem except the update.

It means your phone is up to date,you need to wait some more.

Based on the problems with 4.3 I would count your blessings and not upgrade even if it becomes available!

Sony email help at first denied that there were any problems and now having referred them to this thread say that a patch for the Bluetooth problems is being worked on but no idea when it will be released.

So DON'T upgrade it really isn't worth it I wish I hadn't
