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

It's taking a while, but there is a firmware update listed.

Hopefully this will be released.

Then we can see what the status is after that.

Hard to tell WHEN, i know we all hope sooner then never, but it won't be the first time Sony decides not to publish update... I hope they are testing it, and somehow hearing our voices over few really big issues.

you are saying that sony xperia m dual supports BLE and not found any problem with it. But, when I installed the BLE application its getting closed with a toast displaying "BLE hardware is required but not available".

Do you have answer for this? if u, then will u please let me know how to enable that?

Thank u

Honnestly, this is ridiculus... they have a fix and they don't release it, just click the "release" button!!!!!

OK, Xperia M is not their main focus, but still, what's wrong???

We've been waiting for months!

I just bought a Bluetooth heart rate monitor for $50 this week. Before I bought it, I checked the requirements: Bluetooth 4.0 and Android 4.3, both features of my Xperia M dual. Thus, I was not expecting any problems.

I'm quite disappointed now that I have found out that the heart rate monitor does not work with my phone. I really hope the announcements of an upcoming fix turn out to be true, and the update will be available for all of us before the year 2014 has ended.

No, you don't understand : we bought this Xperia M because it was said to support BLE with 4.3 upgrade. But it does not !

It was my last Sony device !

This kind of behaviour is exactly why Sony is in red with smartphone direction. You are even risking law suits because people paid money, in some kind of the wordl it was a serious amount, for a false information that you gave to them. Any serious company would try to make things right by any means just not to let users be mislead. Do not underestimate the power of users and the fact that you guys threw a boomerang. Today it is XM and tomorow maybe some other phone...
