Firmware 4.0.A.2.377 Sep 2nd, 2011 (updated) - Xperia Arc General

HW Version SW Version Request Type Date Certified
A 4.0.A.2.377 ECO Sep 2, 2011

we all know that it usually takes a few weeks to get released + all those firmware release never get to public but just some.

Version 146 is available here in Slovenia - phone from Germany.
I tried to update but there was some error, so i'll try later again.

I can confirm version 146 being available for Germany phones. Didn't try to install it yet though.

They've also added 3.0.1.A.0.149

Well, just tried to install 146 and failed with something like "Unable to install or start phone software update components"...

Very strange. I check again today and they have removed 149 there.

what are the improvements ? 3.0.1.A.0.145 vs 3.0.1.A.0.146? both are 2.3.3 ?

A 3.0.1.A.0.150 ECO Jun 30, 2011

I've got the A 3.0.1.A.0.146 on my German unbranded Arc since yesterday.
A friend of mine claims that according to SE support the changes are:
- improved video and foto quality
- some smaller bug fixed
- improved wifi connection stability
- improved battery life a bit
However, the update wipes all you data and resets the phone... quite funny for such a small update when the last massive one just worked on the fly.
I haven't noticed anything upon now, but I never had problems with my wifi and obviously I can't judge the battery life up to now.

What about your root status?

How come only germany got this .146 version and other regions are left behind? Is it only country-specific update?

@Rycon33, they must be slowly rolling out the updates. Just wait a while.

It's just strange coz when they rolledout .145 the timing difference on each region is only by days. And this .146 has been in germany since late-june I think so I thought it could only be country-specific update. The wifi issue is just so annoying that I'm looking badly for an update that fixes it.

Sorry, I didn't have root before. (I wanted to but was pretty lazy about it ^^)
However, I don't think there's a chance that root stays. It's a total wipe out of the current software and it wasn't available OTA.
Something I've noticed: sudden reboots are back... not liking this. -_-
I also think it's strange Germany got it first... they were quite late on the last update. Also strange that there aren't any official news from SE on it. :/

New software on PTCRB for X10

Guys just checked PTCRB and there is a new software for X10 on 5th August 2011
3.0.1.G.0.75
http://www.ptcrb.com/ctiastaff/complete/view_complete_request.cfm?modelid=16755
Please forgive my excitement , I just saw the 5th August registered firmware and copied the stuff here,didnt noticed we already have that
That's odd because 3.0.1.G.0.75 was the firmware that was released last week.
yeah thats strange...never saw them releasing anything before registering there for any product!!
wondering who has 3.0.1.G.0.70

they did for the 2.1 release too.....
the .70 didn't happen because of a camera fault apparently, that is why the new release came.
Is strange as I already have 3.0.1.G.0.75 installed on my phone whereas the PTCRB shows the date of today while the older one released is shown to be 3.0.1.G.0.70

Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread for Xperia X10 runs with 3.0.1.G.0.75 when you update . This is not new firmware.

B182 officially released

Huawei just pushed B182 to my C432. On German and Portuguese SIMs.
Security patch dated 5 April 2017.
Well, I guess I will receive it shortly after you guys on my Dutch Sim.
Just don't get it why I takes so long for the c432 models to get the updates.
To bad the change log is old. 6x zoom? It's already at 10.
I get the update last night :good:
Please can anyone confirms that in the network setting the "network aggregation" and "Volte" setting are not available? It seems that are now managed automatically.
Updated through firmware finder successfully. No obvious changes so far.

Don't see it there. Carrier aggregation is gone, it seems.

Hopefully the L09_C432 UK model will get update soon too!
It is embarrassing to have latest flagship phone stuck on January 2017 security patch, when 3 years older phones such as the Galaxy S5 and Xperia Z3+ are on March 2017 security patch.
Does anyone know if the newer software have better lockscreen music/audio widget control support?
I'm using Pocket Casts; Audible, and USB audio player. All don't have widget control on lockscreen in B156 build.
+1 Bigmille you're completly right and it's incomprehensible from a company like Huawei, apparently they don't care of their customers security, i'm still too stuck to 156 in France, i'm checking daily ...

Volte is there for activation on my phone
So did you guys get the 172 before this update? Since I am still stuck on the 156 since February. I can see with firmware updater that 172 got out in March, but I cannot install it.
e. ok, now I checked the pictures. Apparently skipped totally 172..

How to check if the phone is actually a global version

I just got this phone.
I noticed 4g issues, as if it was missing the 800mhz band (which is a common thing among chinese versions).
Is there any way to check if the phone is actually a global version?
i tried https://www.mi.com/global/verify/#/en/tab/imei but it doesn't accept the imei but i suspect this site is only for xiaomi imeis (could someone double check and let me know?)
Thank you
Does your phone also have the update issue where it cannot update to the newest firmware?
Asking because mine and others do on there official forums and they all seemed to ship from Poland.

Mine shipped from Poland as well but I had no update problems. Came with security patch February 2019 and was easily upgradeable to patch level March 2019 via OTA

Update???

I received an update for my yoga tab 2 days ago. Strange considering I was already running Android 7.1
The update was about 1.6GB and installed without a problem.... My only question is...... What did it DO/FIX???
Anyone know?

Knowing anything about the update I do not! But I want to confirm:
Yesterday, on April 19th 2020, I recieved and downloaded and obviously successfully installed a new update.
My build number now is "YT-X703L_S120015_200317_ROW". Still Android 7.1.1, security patch level 01 May 2018.
Sadly I didn't check the number before the update ...
Exactly

It's odd to receive an update that doesn't include A RECENT security patch. The not said "but fixes" but didn't give any details and had no new features.... So I'm questioning why the update was rather large if it only had a few bug fixes
Received an update notification, but reluctant to install. Do you have any issues or battery drainage after update? Is it stable? Is there a change log available? Can't find any info abou this on other forums.
Nope

Performance is about the same.... Maybe a little snappier than before. Battery seems a little worse but that may be the 2 year old battery degrading. Other than that I can't tell any difference.
