Hi folks,
Some of you may have noticed that Android 4.2.2 JellyBean has been certified through PTCRB for our device (SGP321).
More on XperiaBlog, but can't be too long now. http://www.xperiablog.net/2013/06/2...e-certified-for-xperia-tablet-z-10-3-a-0-407/
Will be interesting to see if the UI changes on the Z are also on the Tablet Z.
Based on how the Xperia Z and ZL were updated, I doubt that Sony will change the UI.
But we can. Once the system dump leaks.
Edit: I thought you talking about the Z Ultra. My bad.
Thats great news, im placing my bets on sony making a come back with quality devices, software, and support

That is great to hear! I hope we can expect this to be announced for the SGP311.

Will Sony drop the traditional tablet UI in favour for the Nexus 10 phone layout?
Reading on Wiki and video reviews of android 4.2.2 tablets, none seem to adopt the Tablet UI we currently have.

I doubt they well. It's one of the good things they have going on
heard the interface has become much more smoother on 422 but not many changes in UI etc. no multi user support either.
Please no phablet UI Sony. It's one of the things i hated about my Nexus 7 and why i put PA on it straight away.
I tried CM10.1 on my Z Tab yesterday and couldn't stand the phablet ui. It's just so unintuitive and wastes space.
I hope they'll release or at least "leak" it soon. The current firmware is quite stable and fast, but the slightly laggy UI and the mediaserver bug (has nothing to do with Sony, well known problem within 4.1.2) need to be ironed out.
Xperia Tablet Z to received 4.2.2 from early August. So could be as early as next week:
http://www.xperiablog.net/2013/07/2...ia-zr-to-get-android-4-2-2-from-early-august/
Don't celebrate too early.
On Xperia Z the 4.2.2 update is buggy...
It's well possible that it could be better to remain on 4.1.2 until some dev releases a usable 4.2.2 custom ROM with the device-specific features intact.

Apparently, 4.2.2 will arrive in Early august, and I would assume 4.3 a month or so after that.

Your Xperia Z buggy but not everyone feel that. Factory reset solved everything, as for Album issue, today got someone had received new version and it run smoothly also.
I am running happily with 4.2.2 on my Xperia Z before, and now using happily with Honami leak ROM.

So, Sony’s Jelly Bean 4.2 upgrade for Xperia Z and Xperia ZL is well underway* – next up, Xperia ZR and Xperia Tablet Z will start receiving 4.2 from early August.
Yesterday you probably saw Google announce the next version of Jelly Bean (Android 4.3) – we’re already getting stuck in and can confirm we’ll make 4.3 available for: Xperia Z, Xperia ZL, Xperia ZR, Xperia Tablet Z, Xperia SP and Xperia Z Ultra…
We’re also looking at uplifting some of our other devices running 4.1 direct to 4.3 – we’ll share more info / deets / timings when we can, so be sure to follow @sonymobileNews for all the latest.
If you fancy learning a little bit more about the technical side of our software development, check out Developer World’s latest piece on how we’re improving and refining our efforts to bring users new Android versions.
On that note, thank you for all the feedback on our Jelly Bean 4.1 rollout for Xperia 2012 products – we’re aware the process hasn’t been as succinct or as timely as you might’ve expected. As part of Developer World’s piece, Fredrik Ekstrand, our Head of Software Product Management, elaborates on some of the reasons for this, but essentially – we’ve heard your frustrations and are constantly improving the way we do things.
If you have any questions, feel free to drop them below.

Don't get me wrong, I would love to be wrong They are currently doing big efforts to be efficient and that why I bought a sony device in the first place.
They are the first to reply at the google announce so I hope for the best.
I would like to suggest the DEV Team to pay special attention to the Camera and Audio quality on the latest Xperia 2013 line , Using the the exmor sensor and as it was hyped the quality is just horrible and unacceptable from a sony device.
Just release the AOSP for this! Then the "XDA Dev Team" *lol* can take over..
It owuld be much easier for them.

No they didn't. Where the f did you even read that? They both implied that the SP update won't come early august and that they won't be skipping 4.2. That or they don't know how to write news releases.

"We’re bringing Android 5.0; Lollipop to the entire Xperia Z Series " SAID SONY today !!!
"You’ve probably seen Google unveil Android version 5.0; Lollipop…
Since the initial reveal of the Android “L” Developer Preview, we’ve seen lots of questions on our upgrade roadmap about our plans – so, here goes…
We’ll be making Sony Mobile’s Android “L” upgrade available for the entire premium Z series*: including Xperia Z, Xperia ZL, Xperia ZR, Xperia Tablet Z, Xperia Z1, Xperia Z1S, Xperia Z Ultra, Xperia Z1 Compact, Xperia Z2, Xperia Z2 Tablet, Xperia Z3, Xperia Z3v, Xperia Z3 Compact and Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact. Sony Z Ultra Google Play edition devices will be first up – we’ll be back with more details on that soon.
We’ll start the upgrade at beginning of 2015 for the core Xperia Z3 and Xperia Z2 series – continuing thereafter for all remaining devices above.
We’ve been working hard to bring this major update to as many of our Z Series devices as we can, as quickly as we can. We’re really excited about the new Sony features & functionality and the improvements we’ve made to the user experience – and we’ll be sharing more soon… so stay tuned to the blog and @SonyMobileNews for all the latest and greatest.
*Software rollouts are a phased process – timings & availability will vary by market/operator. Most models supported but some operator/market exceptions will apply"
i love you Sony ! they really supported this device fair enough ) #respect for them

4.4.4 released the 19th of June. We got it the beginning of September, well ahead of many other OEM's devices. Less than 3 months to bring up, produce, test, certify and release. Great going by Sony.
They could promise to support this device for the next 5 years and some people would still be negative.

Beginning could be the first 3 months of next year and then you have to wait 2 or 3 months more , just like with 4.4.4.
So probably in half a year you will have Lollipop 5..0.

How about UI?
Its really a great news indeed. Thankful to Sony for their continuous support to Z especially.
Google's Android 5.0 Lollipop is completely a new UI, well known as Material design. Sony and other OEMs will build their own Stock ROM and interface. Now my question is, which may be too early to ask but yet a thought came in.. Will they retain L's material design? or they going to continue with their UI.
Well time can answer, will wait and see!
Sony rolled out android 5.1.1 for the Z2 and Z3 a while back and said other devices would get it in the following weeks! It's been awhile now and they didn't even certify a new build yet :/ I'm starting to think Sony is going to say that 2gb of ram is not enough to run the latest android
When do you guys think it's coming?
Are you waiting for the update or are you happy with the os right now?
i am really getting annoyned with the ram management if they wont update it , atleast fix the memory management e.e
Yes agreed. My phone has become barely usable because of that ****ty memory management in 5.0.2. They should really move on to 5.1.1 because that's ruined for too long now. What fears me though is that the new version is still not published on PTCRB which means it won't be available in the next two weeks... We will have to wait somewhere in September probably.

Xperia z1 will be another fail just like xperia sp
Since launch it still has bad multitasking
And sony will discontinue it's update cycle along with the original xperia z
So i think z1 z1c zu z and zr wont get the taste of android M imo
, they said they would release it the following weeks after z2 update, not the following month/s
Yeah, 5.1 was a let down on other devices, will not be any different with the Z1. Looking for a long battery life and fast ROM based on 4.4.4. Already went back on my other devices.

Probably will stick with fxp if the Z1 won't get the M . i've seen mods that allows you tu use 4k and other camera features from the stock rom on cm and other aosp rom so i will not loose great things going to fxp or cm :lol:
