Does Xperia M support Bluetooth BLE ?

Hi,

Now updgraded my Xepria M to android 4.3 but it seems that BLE is still not supported...

Is the Xperia M hardware capable of that? Any plan for having BLE working on Xperia M?

Thanks

This is true, but two weeks later Sony notified us that Android 4.3 is the final version for the Xperia M.

My question is, "Will Sony release an update to fix BLE or was the last update for the Xperia M now the final update?"

I asked him about this and this is what he replied.

Thank you @rmahmud28. Now that I see the Xperia M certified update of 11-SEP-2014 I'm happy we have a fix on the way.

Thank you Sony for providing the latest Xperia M update. Party

Now this is going to sound dumb, but can someone explain to me what BLE is? I read about it on Wikipedia page but couldn't understand.

Also, more importantly, is this update going to bring Apps-to-SD feature?

As I understand BLE improves battery life when you use bluetooth connected devices(such as bluetooth headphones and stuff like that).

So what's the status? fix ready? released? available? 

No surprise that Xperia M won't make it to Android 4.4 but that's not the point of this topic.

We want to have BLE fixed on Xperia M

So, Sony, new (last) 4.3 release coming or not? and when?

Please!!!

i bought a BLE device because i saw "compatible with android 4.3 and Bluetooth 4.0", and this xperia M has these specifications.
When do you think to solve this scam???

 I'm 15.5.A.1.5 in a C2005
