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.

It hasnt been certified yet , usualy the update comes after 2 weeks after certification.
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:

Where have you seen the 5.1 ftf for Z1?

you can easily fix memory management problem
use kernel adiutor and go to Low Memory Manager Killer and change numbers to lower Values.

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.

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.

What is it going to bring?
hopefully camera improvements, this (at least for me) is the main area that needs further improvements. we also need white balance and the ability to move apps to the SD.

I was amazed too! I guess it will be bug fixes, which we need.
Camera improvements too! I mean, you can take great photos with Manual, but you'll need time to set it up.

White Balance definitely will be in next update.
May be we'll have better RAM management, fix some issues of previous firmware.
We have to wait til beginning of Jan to get this update.
Btw, someone in XDA have posted the way Sony named for Xperia's firmware. I don't remember, can someone re-post it please.
Wow Sony is really not slacking with their updates now!
How long did it take from when .290 got certified to it got released again?
I think we will see this update out early January

Well this might be the update that was mentioned by a Sony representative from a Sony forum that will be rolled out of the first few days of January next year and if this is it then it will include the White Balance setting. And that'd be the answer to our prayers who's suffering the yellow hue. Yay!:fingers-crossed:

this isn't 4.4, neither it is just a minor bug fixes. I am not expecting a big list of additional features but we might see quite good number of bug fixes and few additional features (white balance) and some improvements because the build number is quite different from what we have. just like .257 update.
One thread was already closed few days ago when someone show up with a new Firmware update which should fix all the problems with the Z1. I really hope this one will be confirmed soon as I waiting for that. The number 1 is the most important thing that mean huge improvements and changes between 14.2.X.0.XXX and 14.2.X.1.XXX.
actually, this can be a decent update, the one that just came out was maybe tested and created as a core android 4.3 with same features and functionality across for Z1, Zu and Z phones. This upcoming update is probably ZU and Z1 both newer and S800 specific update with extra features. Could be why we still havent gotten an offical change log because they are still rolling out 4.3 for Z phones and probably update the change log together with this firmware for Z1. Who knows.

Or it won't be out at all...
Not all certified firmwares goes out and not every firmware is meant to be for each region.
I hope I'm wrong but I think it's just a test release.
It's a way to early to fix firmware which was released few days ago and it's not on all (or on majority) devices

Would make sense for the white balance app to arrive in this mew update, and perhaps it might also come with the 20MP superior auto for all variants. Personally would like to see a noise reduction on the 20MP manual.

yes at present it is in testing but a firmware with 14.2.A.1.XXX will come soon either the same build certified or a higher one. ( hopefully by end of this year on in early week of JAn 2014 ).
Or if you've bought an unbranded one in UK you probably won't get it before your next new phone purchase. Never known an update take so long for sim free phones.
Sent from my C6903 using Tapatalk
if you guys got the japanese one, the new firmware gives white balance option and some tweak to the battery save menu.
Nothing much else though.
also still not 4.3
Just hope this version will bring the bugs fix and also the 4.4 KitKat
A few days ago we informed readers that an Android 4.3 update that included some bug fixes was about to start rolling out for the Sony Xperia SP. French carrier SFR had announced that the firmware update to build 12.1.A.1.192 had been approved and would start rolling out later that day. This gave hope that the update would also arrive soon for other regions, but now the same carrier has confirmed that this Xperia SP update has been delayed.
This latest update will bring performance and stability improvements and it was hoped that it would also fix bugs from an earlier Android 4.3 update. Sadly the update failed to arrive as stated by SFR, and the carrier has now clarified the situation, saying that Sony has delayed the release by a month, pushing it back from March 21 to April 21. This is said to be because of an issue that Sony has identified.
At this stage we have no way of knowing whether the same update will eventually arrive or whether a new update will be certified, but we’ll be keeping a close eye on this and will keep you informed. We also recently reported on a petition that had been started to bring Android 4.4 to the Xperia SP, but this news about the latest 4.3 firmware update is bound to frustrate many Sony Xperia SP owners, especially those still plagued with problems from the earlier update.

They are talking about a "FOTA" issue, Or at least that was what I read earlier
i think new version will be certified soon...
I think the carrier made a mistake between .166 and .192 . I have already heard about this carrier releasing updates long after official update. I think the one they were talking about was just the update from 4.1 to 4.3 ( I read the official post in French and it looked more like this )

... At least flickering have to be fixed in this delay.. :/
Oh man, first of all the first update was released too soon because they knew they were behind so they tried to repay or delay further anger of their users by releasing if earlier. And now this new update that should finally work properly will be released god knows when.
I've been on 4.1 for 3 years now, before SP on my former xperia. In a year from now I'm a getting a new phone because the contract allows me that. So basically I can only hope to play with my SP 4.3 for less than a year which is really sad, and I regret my decision chosing it. To me the android version is all there is to phones nowadays, they are just displays running software..

Thank you for your very constructive comment.
But, I don't like Samsung, because their design and plastic Samsung is not my thing...
No doubt that Samsung makes better phones, but my heart beats for those of Sony.
Despite the problem of the updates, the rest is very good.
Sony him, has a very sober and simple purist modern design. And he keeps the aspect of Android AOSP with the touch of Sony. :angel:
Touchwiz is so... gayfriendly. Seriously, for my part.
I don't care of 4.4. If Sony can make the better 4.3 for the Xperia SP. I can skip KitKat. And if a day I want 4.4 for my Xperia SP, custom ROMs is here for that ! :good:

Kit Kat in Z1 gives lower results than 4.3, but overhall performance is way smoother =)

Could be carrier specific and carrier doesn't support d6502?

Well....they have found a bugs in that fw so they built fixed fw, certified it and it's in testing stage.
That will be (most likely) fw that will be released.
Would you be happier with fw full of bugs and errors or rather wait few more days for fw with less bugs and problems?
Lollipop will be out sooner then we all thought and that's something that I want as soon as possible, 4.4.4. is something we need but 5.00 is fw I can't wait to see...
Another 15 days or month!

I think yes, If they test it and found some bugs, so give us another update...

So we suspect some new features. Faster UI and BEST Camera Software, etc

No...it'll be out in a next few days...there's no chance they'll wait one whole month.
New firmware is tested, they fixed all bugs and they are doing finial testing.
It's quite obvious that testers found problems in first build, so they fixed that and certified another build.
That should be the one we'll receive...
Of course, it's always possible that they bump into serious problems and can't release this one too but I really doubt that...
This is now just polished version of first certified fw and that one should be good...

may be Lolipop's!... as far as I know PTCRB versions for certifications are for release versions... not internal. My assumption is either this is for a different market or an enhanced version. the 3.0.1.A.3 and 3.0.1.A.0 numbers - makes me think it could be an upgraded version.
on the other hand I see Z2 (just like Z Ultra) prices falling linearly - I suspect we will have this version as last but one in case it is 4.4.4 or if 5.0 then could be the end....!

When the original Z is getting Lollipop what makes you think it's end of the road for Z2 updates?
I think it's for orange carrier they will update on November 15

I think he mean it is the end of the Z and not Z2 because the Z2 have more ram and a better chip like a 2.3 ghz quadcore instead of 1.5 ghz, so let we all wait on 4.4.4 and next year on 5.0 and then we can talk further about any updates if we Z2 users already run as the 1st ones on 5.0 !

I think so, but it's a big jump over previous build.
if you look at curent market outlook, sony's losses and Samsung in re-planning, and Motorola out from google, i see that gameplan will change soon, and the support model and release cycles will have a great impact.
Supporting a model over 2 years is a huge cost if the chipsets and technology change with every model. Z2 an Z3 will not have impact for a year or so since chipsets are similar. but Z4 onwards I see there will be a shift in whole view of mobile devices since business is getting hit, Google is revamping its strategy. it will not be plain simple firmware upgrades every quarter anymore in my view. I may be wrong and I know people are just waiting for new firmware upgrades - as long as mobile works - and apps work I dont see a need of releasing a version unless there is major tuning or upgrade.
2 years lifecylce is good, but every 6 months firmware upgrade is something I doubt going forward after Lolipop
i cant wait anymore , i hope this FW rollout in next days

Have patience or head over to the firmware made for every Z2 and flash it.
This is not the place for you to cry!!!!!
Here we mod for our own use as niabloc did for all of us.
Damn, I thought that D6502's lolipop is available!
Now Android 5 has some bugs, so I think the update will be delayed.
Absolutely. The update which was rolled out is not at all the final firmware if it was it could have been rolled to other regions also since india is always one of the first countries where sony starts rolling new firmware. I think it safe to assume we will get the update only in april.
Maybe sony noticed the x-reality bug and stopped the rollout..

I updated with Nordic Lollipop firmware and found out that I could not search anything on Walkman App (I used stock xperia keyboard with THAI and US layout). I think there might still be some problems with non-latin writing regions. Now, I'm back to KitKat.
Anyway, don't worry about getting the update. I last to get is always Japanese variant.
I don't understand why some of you fail to READ posts in a forum.. There is a D6502 patch available for the prerooted fw provided by niaboc79.. Plus Search bar in walkman works fine. Make a fresh install to avoid bugs like that. Only problem in Lp update is XR and Super vivid files are missing. Apart from that, I have zero issues. Since I am on UB, I don't have to worry about it, though since most of you guys like to stay on LB, you can flash the mod in themes section which fixes the XR issue.. And there won't be any changes in the Indian update unless there is a change in the build number, which is very highly unlikely.. So stop thinking that there are bugs and it should be fixed. Read more guys, read before complain..

Ha ha are you joking India is one of the first country to receive update. I think you never used xperia before. I've never seen this since Sony Ericsson.
Good laugh! HUH!
Anyone received it yet in india.?

To be honest releasing the FW in just 2 regions doesn't seem like a roll out to me, more like a test run. and maybe when the actual roll out happens next week india will be the 1st one in that to receive it. and even you guys didnt actually get it. just used a different ftf to flash. that does not count

this comment was for Z3 which saw multiple regions receiving the update last week, but even that stopped after tuesday and no new regions received it since Wednesday that i know of. was hoping even z2 might start receiving at the beginning of this week, but seems like sony has made it a habit of going back on their word repeatedly.

Samsung produces better pics with Sony lens, this shows how pathetic is Sony’s software division
Sony Service Center is another story

I think that your Samsung is still there, just throw it away and grab another "awesome" Samsung bro. Stop disturbing the system, else you will trigger system self destruct.
