hi everyone, i had searched so many topics/forums about this common issue
some ppl say its too low so they cannot hear anything in lousy places
some other say its ok and they have not face any trouble
if I was going to buy it for myself somehow I could cope with that but since im buying this device for my fiance I cant risk .
is this going to be a problem so far ?
I dont want my fiance to think that I've bought a crap for her
As far as I'm concerned, yes this is a real problem ! I'm not deaf, but in a noisy environnement, you can hardly hear people you're speaking with .
Yes it is really a problem and SE knows about it and it gets fixed with the next smaller update.
o2 germany confirmed today the update will come in week 25 so that would be june 21.
i only wish they have someway to fix the "end call" button position. i keep ending call because i am use to hear it with my face touching the screen.
its gonna be fixed in the next update.
problem has been acknowledged by SE on their official blog/forum
they are working on the 'acoustics engine
tnx everyone
AFAIK they've said its gonna happen in Q4
http://blogs.sonyericsson.com/produ...on-xperia™-x10-to-get-uxp-upgrade-in-q4-2010/

Software update vs. Firmware update.
Firmware is what's coming soon.
Software is what's coming in Q4.
Yes. As of now, it is a real problem. In noisy outdoor environment, without the earphone, you can't hear anything.

official new features with 2.1 from sonyericssonsupport
It should be out soon then.
ya, very exciting
hm, i really hope this end-of-october-thing is going to com true this time...there were a lot of things published in past...
but looks cool and i'd be really happy to have all these new features on my phone in the end!!!
Finally, a feature I wanted the most. Looks like it is a 2.1 feature to turn of screen when you press power button while on call. Currently, it ends the call and I hated it as I was coming from Nexus One.

I am counting on the update for HD recording as I am leaving on a cruise on 30th. But, if they didn't announce the date till now, it's very unlikely it will happen. We might hear them say on 29th Friday that the update is scheduled for middle of Nov.
If you haven't updated yet, please watch the software update video..
where is this? ^^
i really need 2.1 before 31
discuss it in the 2.1 thread
Good evening guys and girls,
Had a surprise visit from a Samsung UK field rep today, who when asked about 2.3.4, he said his Galaxy S2 already running a build and had been for 3 weeks, he said it was nice and stable, didn't get chance to nab a photo but he said it was supposed to start rolling out from around the 10th of June to XEU handsets in the UK.
His handset was KE6 and KE9
Crossing my fingers big time.
Hope it will fix battery drain.
That would be nice.
This is exciting to hear. Thanks for sharing. Always look forward to a new firmware as it can sometimes fix little issues here and there
This actually confirms what I got told my a SammySon engineer and also what balenax has posted on here.
this is great news, will developers of the popular roms need to start from scratch?
What are the news/addition of android 2.3.4?
Just my luck as I'll be out of town till the 13th so no pc access to update :|
Sounds good, coming from an iPhone I still don't know what the OS updates for androids look like yet

they change from manufacturer to manufacturer, not very much tied to android, so your experience could vary between samsung, htc, motorola, google itself, etc

His was a development build so anything can change.
Also I don't suffer from the yellow tinge that was mentioned above so didn't ask. Sorry.
really hope we get 2.3.4 soon, this battery life sucks.
if we are using a UK version in the U.S do you think we will get the ota update or will we have to wait until someone posts it on the forum?
I hope it will stop the battery drain and the smartphone heat (sometimes)!
Do you think we will have to reset the phone or are we able to flashing over existing KE7(currently installed)?
Ok guys, since we're all waiting in here, seemed like a good idea to start this thread... If anyone has any 'good' news they'd like to share about the update, please do so here
Also, when the update is out, would be cool to have everyone post their comments and experiences in this thread, keeping it tight!
At this point, we don't seem to have anything set in stone on when this update is coming, I'm just hoping on a couple of good fixes with the update, like the auto brightness issue, camera optimisations, smoothness/lag issues etc..
What do you guys hope to get to see in the new update?
I hope it wont take long.
Misleading title
I'm kinda happy with my Z5 so far (I encounter bugs and issues here and there though). I'm a little bit less impressed with Sony when it comes to fixing bugs and releasing updates.
Mashmallow release date: October 5, 2015
October... November... December... 1/2 January... still no release date. I'm not talking about the actual ROM, just about a release date... (January? February?)
And I'm pretty sure they received the Marshmallow sources way before October 5th and they use a pretty-near stock ROM. What's taking so long compared to, for example, Motorola or LG (already on Marshmallow)? I mean, yeah the KitKat -> Lollipop transition was pretty steep, with a lot of new code, but Marshmallow and Lollipop are close cousins, use the same design, ART runtime, etc.
Or maybe it's just me; After using custom roms for years, and not having to wait that long after a manufacturer to update its phones, I became impatient :|
At least Sony update their phones I'm happy to wait when it comes it comes I'm tired of expecting. We had 2 year updates with the original XZ so I'm more than happy

I don't understand why the Z3 series has the Marshmallow concept and Z5 doesn't.
Waiting is okay for me, as long as the update brings something big, like new feautres. But at least Sony should tell us when they're going to release Marshmallow - it's now a bit long time already.
I hope to see new redesigned UI as current one is really boring and these colorfull icons in menus are no longer elegant to be honest, it does not look consistent to me any longer.
Camera blur fix and low light improvements along with 4K 60fps and intelligent stady shot are expected.
Battery life for sure needs to be improved as well as lags and response of the phone.
Bug fixes please.
Dream Wishes? Old Timescape in new rewamped design
The most important is the manual camera, or at least return of iso on sony manual camera app

Marshmallow was released by google on October 5th 2015...
It's a shame because I'm waiting for the marshmallow update to see if it's worth me keeping this phone or selling and getting a nexus 6p
Sony never promised MM to release in 2015 for the Z5 lineup, according to sources the update is going to be released this month.

I'm thinking the same thing, either swapping it or selling it for either a 6P or a G4 (or even my previous Moto X Style I swapped for this device)
They need to fix and improve a lot of stuff for the device for me to keep it..
It's been reported that the new firmware bound for Sony Xperia Z5 and Xperia Z4 in Japan has been certified by the Wi-Fi Alliance, a process that is needed to for OTA software update, so hang in there folks =)

It was, like, a month ago... Nothing new.
I have marshmallow on my 6P and I tried the concept on the Z3 and it's not that much of a change. It does bring native fingerprint scanner support that hopefully Sony will bring forward with their own scanner. Also adopted SD storage with it's a bit of a mess on its own.
Another thing I've noticed, because app uptake for new versions of android is slow (right now about 5% of people are on marshmallow) there's a lot of bugs to be ironed out by devs at the beginning therefore IMHO is much better to get onto the new big releases a few months later after Google puts them out.
I think Sony does a fine job with all this. By the time they came out with Lollipop most bugs had been ironed out and they quickly brought it up to 5.1.1.
First off let me say I Do Not intend for this to be another whine thread....
Just wanted to reach out and see if anyone has had any signs of an update. I recall from one of the previous now closed threads started one user mentioned the 5th as being a possible date. Though seemingly arbitrary date the 5th is here.
People chime in if you get the notification!
Nothing for me yet.
It probably won't come out until the new Google phones do. I know it's difficult for flashaholics, but be patient.
Now I'm waiting for the September security update for Marshmallow, maybe it will be late too. They seem to be in a huge work.
This thread is the best sign.

That's what intended mine to be, but it went south so fast! Lol no sign for me yet, I'm hoping maybe by tonight. It's REALLY behind said release date. Staying optimistic!
This is the only sign from Google I have seen.
Absolutely notting here. Not even the sept security update.
There will be a September in 2017,too
If I'm remembering the same post, a user speculated that the update would be tied to the September monthly security update. That seemed like pure speculation. I hope the updates are posted soon but I don't think today will be the day, since it is already the afternoon and a business holiday. Hope I'm wrong!
Hope it's soon.

Maybe tomorrow then, I forgot it was a holiday. What gets me is how they got everyone all riled up that it was gonna be in August, and it's gonna be out at the same time haha
Yeah Im ready for the official build too, this NPD90G preview wants me to want more, or at least some minor fixes.
No updates.............there will be speculations.
No speculations.....probably updates.
From what I've heard Qualcomm needs to do some driver upgrades for full Android N Support. If that is the case, it would explain why Google hasn't released the update yet, they simply can't until Qualcomm delivers. I can imagine Qualcomm has their hands full at the moment with all the smartphone companies out their requesting driver updates to support Android N as well.
I don't have any references for this, as I read it in a post somewhere but don't remember where. Don't take my word for it. But of course it would be interesting if someone could confirm or deny this.
I don't expect the update any time soon, but at least the latest beta runs very smoothly on my device. Can't complain at the moment.
Thats what has confused me DP5 runs well so id have thought it was near release quality but I guess not with the update taking so long. As far as qualcomm surely google should be the highest priority for drivers/updates given that they build the entire base that all other android phones base off? So an N driver for a specific SoC should work for all devices using that SoC?
I'm pretty satisfied with the Uber N ROM as is.
What @onemandivision said is correct, driver updates are critical. It's not just the kernel and the android base.
I'm a little confused by the delay though since it is already clear that phones on chips older than snapdragon 800/801 won't get nougat (ie 65-70% of all android phones according to some surveys), so there should be very few drivers to update/fine tune? Am I wrong?
