I'm on 2.3.3 with unlocked bootloader, but it tells me an OTA update is available, any ideas?
No update for me, On 2.3.3 Locked bootloader not rooted on vodafone
When I checked it, it says hook it up to my computer to update it...dunno what it is...has me curios?
Did you get 2.3.3 ota or did you flash the rom that is about? If you flashed the rom then it may not be picking up your version number correctly. Also wasn't there some warnings going around saying not to update ota if you had unlocked your bootloader?
I got the update message today also, but I have only rooted my device. Bootloader is still locked. I am on 2.3.2 currently.
Edit: On three ireland btw.

I'm running Android 2.3.3 rooted, locked bootloader, UK version 3.0.1.A.0.145 and when I check for software updates it says my phone already has the most up to date software.
DO NOT UPDATE
You'll brick your phone! Stay clear of any offical updates if you've unlocked your bootloader!
well i didn't brick my phone with the 2.3.3. in fact, it brought my phone to life from being bricked!
im still on 2.3.2 and when i search for updates it says im on latest :/

Yes, I'm aware of that, but I was just curious as to what the update is...I flashed 2.3.3 with fastboot but still am getting an apparent update?

You have this version right now? (3.0.1.A.0.145 Generic UK)

Well its not SE's fault. The one to blame is At&t who declared EOL after a month or two and refused to update.
Just out of curiosity, which baseband/build number is the AT&T update?

Firmware 2.1.A.0.492

More than that, it's an improved camera application. Autofocus on both still and HD as well as Face Recognition in the movie mode.
I'm going to a wedding in a few weeks, face detection in movie mode would be interesting to have.... I've downloaded the tft, I'm considering it, since it's definatly rootable....
I just have to remember to restore my TiBackup as USER Apps and Sysdata....
Is the multi touch just dual touch or have they actually incorporated more than two fingers?
And can someone upload the new camera and multi touch apps.
thanks.
Wait, so the att version has more features? And is it as smooth as 2.1.B.01 or laggy?

You need to restart your phone after rooting if I remember correctly and install busybox from market. You can enable Unknown sources from SuperOneClick.
I just flashed the 2.1.65 BB from the AT&T FW. I used it for like 30 mins and did not notice anything different. I went back to the 2.1.54 FW of the X10a generic kit. My concern was that after you flash the 2.1.65 BB from the AT&T FW, in the hidden menu, under software version, the phone is identified as an ATT -user and NOT GENERIC - user. This may be a problem when 2.3 is released since it will only be available for generic kits. Anyway, I am back on 2.1.54 BB from the .435 generic kit.
Although I appreciate AT&T finally releasing their build of 2.1 for the X10A, I'll stick with the Sony Ericsson generic world 2.1 release instead.
For those going with AT&T's version, remember that you'll end up getting:
AT&T bloatware (removable after rooting)
Unknown Sources in Settings > Applications removed (can be enabled after rooting - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9588447&postcount=3 )
Data locked to '3G' (you'd lose the 'H' data connection, where available)
AT&T branding (you'd never get access to Sony Ericsson's upcoming Android 2.3 update for the X10)
Is the new AT&T 2.1 build that much better than the generic one? Face recognition in video recording mode...is that really a handy feature? Is it better on the battery? Is the touch screen smoother? Reception better? We need more AT&T X10 users to chime in.
Hi guys, I am on 10.3.A.0.423 and just got the warning in Sony Pc Companion that a new update is out!
Hope it fixes the minor lags.
Hope it is not a bug too, because I havent seen this new update being reported anywhere.
My customization number is 1270-5695.
So what is the update version?

Well, it is the same version. I dunno if it is the same version with bugfixes. I dont know how to check that.
But the minor lags seems to be gone, although it may be a placebo effect because I just turned my phone on.
I will use my phone more to see if it has improved anything.
you were using the wrong kernel for your 4.2.2 because it happens to me when i flash other kernel or flash custom rom the sony companion will give me the update as a new update but in fact it's the same.

It is nice to see Sony making hotfixes this fast.
Actually, EMMA does not know about this update, so it's probably just an app update for the HK region installed by PC companion instead of through OTA...

I can confirm that the lag is gone, from what I can see till now, from everywhere. There is still a semi lag in the list where I choose Widgets. But with the former 4.2.2, the lag there was bad. I am still installing apps on my phone and after that I can test correctly. Now there is no lag on Lockscreen Widgets, before when I slided down the Widget, I got lag, now it's smooth. I tried hard to make the main screens and Drawer pages to lag and 0 result. So Sony hat down with this update.

No kitkat here
Edit: Found this -
"Sony Xperia Tablet Z (LTE) owners saw their tablets updated to firmware build 10.4.1.B.0.101 in the beginning of February. This Android 4.3 Jelly Bean firmware brought an enhanced user experience, improved battery life, faster shutdown times and software performance improvements including better Bluetooth connectivity.
Well, Xperia Tablet Z (Wi-Fi) owners have had to wait a month, but their tablets are finally receiving the same update – moving from build number 10.4.B.0.577 to 10.4.1.B.0.109. The update is out across most territories including the UK, Germany and the Nordics. "

Had this twice now through PC companion on my 312 wifi, it just replaces the 109 build with another, some dope will have packaged up the wrong build or something!
Is your tablet rooted or non-rooted? If it is rooted, that may be your problem. I know if you attempt updating a rooted tablet via OTA, the entire firmware will be downloaded to the tablet, then the tablet will reboot to install the firmware but will fail, and the tablet ends up still having the previously installed firmware. Perhaps PC Companion is similarly failing to install a firmware update because your tablet is rooted.

I tried updating with root and it failed. I also want to know if root is possible with thia update.
I'm using a rooted phone myself - while I use the DRM key emulation I know OTA updates will most likely fail so I will perform the upgrade manually.
Would anyone please check the Android security patch level?
If you go to System Settings - About phone. One entry says "Android security patch level" which is February 1st on the .163 version. Did this one increase maybe?
If so, it would be worth the hassle with Flashtool and rerooting and such for me to upgrade.
