New Firmware out! Or maybe not?

Hey guys,
in a german board someone said he is in contact with the SE support and today he was told that there is a new firmware out. It's called R2BAxxx and should fix the battery issues.
In an other board someone posted this
Hi guys!
The next firmware is due soon and it's called R2BA013.... it's contains some new features such as small ui improvements in timescape and mediascape and the creatuch app. This firmware is blazing fast and very much improved from .016. The battery time is also improved and it seems that the screen resolution looks better too. Also the face-recognition is very much improved. There is also a nice "slide" animation when browsing through pictures. All in all, this is probably what SE had in mind when releasing X10, and all I can say is that it's really good and I'm very pleased.
So if there's someone out there who's not sure to buy this phone because of the minor problems that's know in 0.14 firmware, I can almost guarantee you that this will fix them all and make you very pleased with the performance of the X10

Does anyone allready have this firmware? Or has anyone further information about that?
Here are the links to the 2 topics:

From another thread here: http://www.xperiax10.net/2010/04/29...ing-performance-boost-creatouch-app/#more-654

I have to add, the german support said the update is allready out and in his office anyone was allready running the new version. He also said that it could take 1 or 2 more days until everyone can update but perhaps someone allready has?

bring it asap

Yes i know that 2.1 will come in september but there must be an update before that to kill the issues like battery lifetime. This one will do that an bring us some ui improvements and timescape / mediascape fixes.

Guy's i can't seem to be able to update from even 1.04 to 1.06.

have you unbranded your handset? Seems to hit the unbranded ones first... others will be controlled by their network.

Hi all.. don't know if anyones heard anything official from SE on this or not?
I've just emailed there support email [email protected]
To ask for an official comment on timescale and functionality...
Cheers. Alan.

i have debranded my x10 rogers to generic NA x10a firmware. i seriously doubt that SE will release a firmware for this firmware seeing how the phone isn't officially released here in the states except for the x10i models.
i think for those of us with X10a, i think we will be waiting for the firmware update in late may or even in september. that's my take anyways.

New firmware ?

I brought my arc yesterday I plugged it to seus and a new firmware was available.
I upgraded but I forgot to check what the old firmware was, does anyone know what this new firmware fixed ?

Can you let us know what your on now???
settings/ about phone.. android version 2.3.2, build number 3.0.a.2.181

Simply go to settings-> About the phone, go to the bottom of the information displayed, and check the FW version.
Mine had 3.0.A.2.181 out of the box...

I didn't get any update notification. Can you tell me the new firmware version?
My build number is 3.0.A.2.181.

I have build 3.0.A.2.184 android 2.3.2

It feels a little faster .. But I have had a chance to play with the original firmware as I only brought it yesterday
Sent from my LT15i using Tapatalk

I did a quick search, couldn't find anything intressant. But what i notices is that the xperia play has the same build version.

I just connected mine, bought from Germany (no branding, no SIM lock) and having .181 firmware, the SEUS says I have the latest software so no need to update.

No update here in Denmark as well. 181 still. :-(

Sweden doesn't seem to have gotten any update yet either.

Not that this very nice phone isn't running great, but updates are always nice.

I noticed my nexus does better job than arc i don't know why. but i like the arc really great screen even outside everything is clear.
Some games lag even angry birds lag i never had this on my nexus. I don't believe it's ram related because have 100+ nothing runs in the background.
But waiting for future update, it will get better

I've played AB a bit and not had any lag for me...

I did get a bit of lag yesterday when playing for about an hour or so, then about about 2 minutes it just sorted itself out...

It's not a bad lag but very little lag most people wouldn't even notice it.
But did someone found what different is in this update? i still didn't get it

Just got my update on a UK phone - reckon its just a plot from SE to convince us they will be supporting us owners this time around

The Korean is a different model , i.e. not a GT-I9100 like our International vesion, but a SHW-M250K(S). For instance, it has TV (and a for that antenna)
So, DON'T FLASH THAT ROM!!! I don't know exactly what would be the consequences, but the chances of bricking your phone would be high...

Think they are skipping 2.3.4 because of the connection issues and instead jumping straight to 2.3.5.

The update also has a cosmetic change. THERE IS A NEW LARGE FONT HOME SCREEN. and 2 new widgets.One is a contact widget. the other is a frequently used apps widget.

2.3.5
I have a 250K and updated to it 24 hours ago. Anybody having problems after updating it? I get random shutdowns and reboots every few hours. Sometimes it happens without touching it. I would love to re-flash it with the same 2.3.5 but Kies doesn't allow that
Any ideas?

Tried that already. Odin is the only option.

I am right?

Sorry i'm using Translate, i'm tired
The "Standby Mode" is gone,
Appearance of the panorama in the camera
Much more fluid
prettier
Weird thing when you press the home button more than 3s (Google)
Faster launch some applications and services
I could not see anything for the moment

I saw the phone in France first, then in the UK where I ordered it and Expansys is always pretty fast with new devices so France did get it first.

Marshmallow for Z4 Tablet Announced -> Released on March 7, 2016.

http://blogs.sonymobile.com/2015/10/06/sony-xperia-and-android-6-0-marshmallow/
Released on March 7, 2016.

Was really glad to read this! However I guess we will have to wait quiet some time for this. Will they just skip 5.1 ?

I hope they skip 5.1 and just go for 6

I don't care which we get as long as it kills 251. These touch pad issues are stopping me from wanting to use the tablet. Such a shame!

Why don't you downgrade to 28.0.A.7.24 and life will be good.

If I downgrade, I think there is some sort of counter that tells Sky Go that I have rooted and Sky Go won't work. At least that's what I heard!

Wow.. I don't understand why you have not received 5.1.1 yet.. I have the First Tablet Z and we received 5.1.1 about a month ago...
We however will not get Marshmallow....Oh well 5.1.1 is rock solid...

We go straight to 6. See sony support page for z4 tablet.

No need for root. Just follow the tutorial and choose right firmware for your device and downgrade. And the touchsensitivity is back

Try France or Nordic, those are the version 28.0.A.7.24 ... If they dont work, you can always flash back the original UK .251
