Neo L firmware upgrade = 2011 Xperia FW upgrade? (4.1.B.0.626)

So according to Xperia Blog, the Neo L has had new firmware certified on the PTRCB. Version 4.1.B.0.626. http://www.ptcrb.com/vendor/complete/view_complete_request_guest.cfm?modelid=21028
OK, but the neo L isn't a 2011 Xperia so whats your point?
Look at the version number of its upcoming firmware on the PTRCB link above. 4.1.B.0.626. Look at its previous firmware on the same list. 4.1.B.0.587. Look at our latest version. 4.1.B.0.587.
Ahhh. See what I'm getting at?
So based on this, my conclusion is that the 2011 Xperias should be receiving the .626 update soon. This will most likely be bug fixes but it's always good to see new updates from Sony. Sony did say that while we are not getting JB (unless they have a change of heart) they will still support us via ICS firmware updates.
Your thoughts? Agree or disagree?
*This thread may be closed if necessary.

yeah thats a good news if neo l will get then we can hope that our xperias will also get

http://bbs.elephone.hk/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=6848&extra=page=3&mobile=2

I need an advice.
Since I have received my Elephone, it has build P7000_20150521.
Following the advice of a user, i rooted my phone in order to make a full backup of the OS i have now (i did it through the recovery), considering that without root it was impossible have a full backup.
The build i have now 20150521 has some problems of flickering brightness (and of lockscreen, impossible to change image), so i wanted to update to 20150529 in order to fix problem of brightness.. I have read on Elephone forum that that one is considered the most stable one. I would keep 20150521 but it seems that the flickering brightness damages the phone in some way.
So... those who have updated (i have read that my build must be updated through flashtool because 20150521 hasn't the OTA update) the phone can suggest me the most stable build? Thank you in advance

When did you receive it ? ... i am on Nougat but no update after that ... dual sim variant i am using

Check here:
https://xpericheck.com/device/F8331

Yesterday I flashed http://www.xperiablog.net/forum/reso...c_generic.780/.
Now it seems I can read only external sd-card, all the apps I tried to access have read-write permission for the sd-card, but it seems they can only read. Don't know if it's f8331_39-2-a-0-361_nordic_generic. Don't know how to solve this. Has somebody the 361 installed has the same problem?
Any ideas or hints?

The futur of the X

As Sony announced few days ago that they'll discontinuing the X and X compact, what does it mean of us loners?
I mean it has been more than a month since the Performance variant got 7.1.1 and we still running the 7.0 and no news about when we'll get that update;
Also does this mean, that we won't be getting android O when it hits market?

From what i understand, they will only stop the production. That means no X2 or X2c.
Current phones will continue receiving updates until the end of its 18-month lifespan. That means 7.1 will come soon. (Actually it's already coming to Concept roms).
Though I hope they will skip 7.1 and go straight to 8.0.

C'mon Sailfish. Daddy needs a better OS.

Trashed it so fast. Sony is making some very odd choices. I hope they get their sh** together

Isn't it 2 year "lifespan" of updates ?????

Well, if you guys want some good news, Android 7.1 update for Xperia X/X Compact might start rolling really soon. Yesterday, kernel sources from an unannounced build (34.3.A.0.194) surfaced on Developer World, and given the bump to 34.3.xx.xx.xx from the previous 34.2.xx.xx.xx indicates it's a major update instead of simple bug fixes...

AL00 chinese version new firmware is out (B225) with one particular issue

Hi
I downloaded the b225 firmware 3-4 days ago and since then the battery from its over 5 hours average SOT has lost +20% of its power...
Has anyone else faced a similar issue after updating??!!
The old issues for me still not resolved :
Google now does not get activated by voice command
Whatsapp/telegram/etc social apps dont download latest messages unless the apps are open and running in background
Oh well....

I'm not facing the battery issue.
But the WhatsApp messages' auto receive failure persists.

Better battery life...

I upgraded from B213 to B225 and I've actually seen slight improvement in battery life overall. FYI, I use Brevent.
As for notification issues.. still there... no change since I bought the phone in December last year.

Interesting answers...
Thanks.
Will keep on monitoring battery...

Yes, Chinese version is updated frequently.
Additionally, it has call recording out-of-box and option to hide navigation keys
But there are some disadvantages too, like some specific problems with Google apps. I can't say that it is big problem, but in some cases it can broke your common way of using phone (navigation, Google assistant...). Yeah, it can be fixed, but you have to do something instead of gaining same in world roms.
There are also some bloatware with Chinese symbols which you have to disable or uninstall.
And Chinese version has tough algorithm to unload apps from memory, so user will get some problems with notifications. There is workaround to lock apps in memory. But it is another fix that you have to do manually in Chinese roms.
Anyway, you can try rebrand to Chinese rom, use it a few time, then back to US version or stay.
