Apparently galaxy s II will have these 4 hubs. Is there any way we could actually port them over to galaxy s as well over some update or sth?
As with the Galaxy S they are probably part of Touchwiz and as the S2 has TW4 then that would need to be ported over first.
I'm in the market for a new tab... clearly not going to get an iPad.. so.. my short list is down to 3.. N10.. the soon to be released Xperia Tab Z.. or the Galaxy Note 10.1
I know the Sony's not out til the end of the month.. but is it worth the wait?!
Galaxy note looks well spec'd.. but I'm not sold on the UI..
Hit me.

Nexus 10 is awesome but id wait for the tablet z. It looks awesomer lol and the device is built to last. If you dont mind having the update of os later then z is good. I wish Google would make the next nexus device with Sony I'd buy it for sure.

If you really need LTE, external SD card slot, and IP57 certification (dust/water resistant), the Sony tablet is a no brainer. It's also a whole 2mm thinner and 100g lighter.
If you really need the PLS display and pure Android RIGHT NOW, get the Nexus 10.
Thanks both... Sounds like I should wait!
Or, if you already have an lte phone rooted (like me) and tether plus have home WiFi you need not worry about this:silly:
Hello fellow Xperia Z owners. I have had a chance to play with the new Xperia Z1. Here is my short hands on and an answer to whether you should upgrade Hope you will enjoy the video
The only thing that stops me to upgrade is camera issue wehen unlock bootloader

At the moment there are pretty much no ROMs available anyways. You can still root the phone. I am sure that Sony will provide a bootloader unlocking solution that doesn't break the camera soon.

I have Z almost 8 months, and I will be back to Samsung fastest I can. Z1 is the same s... like Z. That is my opinion.

Hai guys.
I recently found a page on web that android kitkat is going to be updated for most of the xperia phones
i linked it.[/CENTER]
http://au.ibtimes.com/articles/506245/20130916/android-4-kitkat-os-18-smartphones-tablets.htm#.Uj583canqnQ
Android 4.4 KitKat will support more phones and tablets including ones which already aged long ago. Know the HTC, LG, Samsung and Sony Android devices which are eligible to Google's new Android OS.
HTC Smartphones
HTC smartphones are well known for its Sense UI which is virtually lagless compared with other Android devices out there. HTC imparted powerful hardware components and premium materials to promote stability and elegance. Certain HTC phones are qualified to get Android 4.4 KitKat and hopefully the company can push software upgrades to them soon.
1. The One Family including HTC One, HTC One X and HTC One X+
2. New Desire family released in 2013
3. Desire line up including Desire X and Desire V
4. DROID DNA, HTC J and Butterfly
Most of these devices have at least 512 MB of RAM and runs Android 4.1 Jelly Bean OS. Android 4.4 KitKat has been speculated to feature Linux kernel 3.8 for low-memory requirements.
LG Smartphones
Several models from the LG Optimus line are qualified to run Android 4.4 KitKat with at least 512 MB of RAM. Some of these units include:
1. G2
2. Nexus 4
3. Optimus L7, L5 and L3
4. Optimus G and G Pro
5. Optimus VU
LG remains quite if when they are going to push Jelly Bean updates to their smartphones and still unclear when they will announce official KitKat release.
Samsung Galaxy Line
Samsung's vast smartphones and tablets line up are expected to receive Android 4.4 KitKat as well. However, the company seems to stagger updates on their devices due to overpopulation.
1. Galaxy S4 line: Galaxy S4 original, Zoom and Active
2. Galaxy S line: Galaxy S3 and S2
3. Galaxy Note: Note phablets and Note tablets
4. Galaxy Mega 5.8 and 6.3
5. Galaxy Tab: Galaxy Tab 3, Galaxy Tab 2 and Galaxy Tab 1
6. Mid-range devices such as Galaxy Young, Galaxy Fame, Galaxy Mini and Galaxy Ace
Samsung recently decided to skip Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean on Galaxy S3 and instead will push Android 4.3 to save time and effort. The company may also release Android 4.1 Jelly Bean to selected device but it remains unclear which one and when.
Sony Xperia Smartphones
Sony Xperia phones feature combined multimedia applications and Exmor camera sensors with fast processors from Qualcomm. The Japanese tech company is now developing Android 4.3 Jelly Bean for selected Xperia phones which be pushed primarily on the Xperia Z family. Android 4.4 KitKat is expected soon to arrive to the following devices:
1. Xperia Z family: Z original, ZR, ZL, Z Ultra and Z1 Honami
2. Xperia tablet S and tablet Z
3. Xperia mid-range phones: Xperia M, C, SP, L, S, SL, U and many more
Sony mobile devices are commonly equipped with 512 MB of RAM and a single-core Qualcomm processor.
IMHO this isn't going to happen.
As you can see, Sony has never mentioned 2011 Xperia's for Jelly Bean updates, as they were made by Sony and Ericsson and since the partnership has been dissolved I do not think they will update some "dead" phones.

no way !
if sony doesn't, Cyanogenmod will
I believe that if possible, Cyanogenmod based on 4.4 will be available, though i have not read the cyanogen wiki / news about this recently.
if its compatible, then it would be nice to have 4.4 on this device.
I use to have an Xperia Play and I'm incredibly doubtful that you will ever get 4.4 even with custom roms. Awesome phone when I had it but it never even had ICS.
Currently have a Galaxy S3 and probably going to get a Xperia Z1 next.
hope it comes true )
actually someone posted on Android Development Thread wrote that he may do it for our xperia play.

OP just adding links to built from source roms as they rollout the official updates and wait for an official CM release.
The guy that mentioned xperia play only had 5 posts (so he's not a developer). I think you confused his broken English thinking he was saying xperia play 4.4 soon, when really he was asking for it to be done soon. It's typical for new members who don't know the rules or what's going on in development for the device. 4.4 isn't coming to XP, at least not until we can get more devs behind it, it's not even being worked on as far I know. I hope that clears things up.

if there will be a 4.4 xperia arc rom, can be ported to xperia play as many roms we have? android 4.4 work great with 512mb ram devices

we only need a working kernel.. once that's done.. we will get a working ROM asap. our kernel is Mid way.. just a little bit more and we are done.
Our kernel development is stopped as our main developer is not able to get touchscreen fixed and nobody else got it working. I honestly think that we will never have android 4.4, not even custom made @xda :<

Well the device never even made it to Jellybean and only got a beta for ICS. Gingerbread is what this device was made for. It runs beautifully with it.

You should try wubi (ubuntu installer on windows) but yeah, if it was that simple to build a kernel then everyone would have done it
