New update already in Germany?

Hey guys, my tablet arrived today and my question is after reading some threads here before: Is the new update available in Germany? People tell here that the water unlock animation is gone wiith the new update (3rd?). After updating the tablet the animation is still active on mine.
Thanks for helpful answers

The newest version is MJ 6 in Germany. I'm running MK1(newest without effect), which l installed via Odin. l managed to get my tab to not boot anaymore and just reset it.

Hmm okay. At this moment I wouldn't like to use "unofficial" methods - only OTA -, but good to know

MJ6 is very fast already you can just wait for MK1, it basically only adds the MultiUser and I haven't really noticed a big difference in performance. I have only been running it for a few hours though.

I know it is fast. But when I read the posts about the bad performance I expected the tablet will be slow at setup but it wasn't. I thought: "If some of the users with the newest update notice the tablet becomes faster, the tablet will be very very smooth."
Also I can wait for the OTA-MK1 ^^

Any idea where to find the changelog for this, or does Sony not publish those?
Sent from my HTC One S

Who has the .69 firmware already? Would be GREAT and VERY helpful if one of you could upload a FTF...

The sony support site says that .36 the 'latest version' for my 32GB wifi only tablet. (US market version, not UK)

I'm in Canada and still haven't recieved the update either

Dear SonyMobile, we paid for our tablet too, like the lte users...

Germany, LTE Z2: Nothing. Tried OTA and Sony Companion; keeps on telling me x.55 is the latest version.
For all you Z2 WiFi jockeys eagerly waiting for x.55: It does NOT solve the touchscreen problems; in fact, my third Z2 with x.55 has far more touchscreen trouble than devices running x.36 - so you really didn't miss a thing.

Nothing here yet in Australia. Disappointing

I bet those 2 people who on the Xperia blog site commented that they already have the update actually have the LTE tablet and didn't read properly... Seems the update for WiFi is actually not ready yet...

Emh... I'm installing 17.1.1.A.0.402... Just arrived trough ota

I m from Portugal and i vê Just intslled the update, i never had any problems with the touchscreen or anything, só the tablet seems exactly the same

Yeah justv went 402. Touch seems a bit better otherwise can't notice much different. That .69 for Wi-Fi news must be bogus
Sent from my SGP511 using Tapatalk

This update has finally put to rest all the problems I had.
The previous update took care of the touchscreen issue to an extent.but I had problems in certain situations, like when it was docked, sometimes it would never wake up by double tapping.
Now in any orientation, and when docked, it always wakes up, everything now is fine.
BTW, I am LTE version.

Taiwan is out....so India to be soon Yaaaaaa!!!!!!

would be great if someone upload a prerooted .726 for flashing over recovery for those with D6653 with D6603 FW

two things that i have noticed so far -
1. Screen dimming animation is not smooth
2. Smart band SWR10 keeps disconnecting thus impacting smart lock and needs a wipe and re-configuration.
Any one facing the same issues?

@TheDutt
Hey, that was a very detailed reply.
1. Please check with airtel they have 128K 4G sim. They charge some 250 bucks when i upgraded sometime back. Its worth.
2. Install an app called open signal - its a way better substitute of speedtest.org (very lean and lot less data hungry) Use it to check on how optimised the 4G network is at your most used places
3. Not sure if this is my mind playing trick or its actually true ...an FTF install gives a better wipe of the device. If you are not comfortable using the flashtool do a repair from PCC that wipes the device aswell
Lastly i hope you did not restore apps data from the backup. Please know the kernal code completely changed from kitkat to lollipop so the cleaner install will make a difference.
I have been using lollipop on Z3 since it was released in Baltic region. the initial releases did have some bugs, heating issues and battery drain. But the release that we have in India is very close to 3 build and its a very stable one.
Hope this helps. Lets me know if you need any more information.

Smartband not working in N
Hi,
I'm having the same issue with SWR10 (it does not track my sleep and the band's alarm is not working anymore).
Smartband App keeps crashing. What is the proper place/ way to report this bug to Sony?
Thank you.

Having issues with Adoptive storage and the stock camera app. It won't take photos and says:
Memory error
SD card unavailable
Hopefully we can find a work around soon, but otherwise, Google Camera might be necessary in the meantime.

Official USA firmware appears for Z5 E6603

Just want to let you guys know that today, Sony has uploaded the official firmware for the USA version for the E6603 device. It's version 32.0.A.6.209 with a region tag of R4B. It's listed as Customized US (unbranded). This is the first time the firmware is released for a non dual Z5 device. The CDA is 1300-4290.

I'm guessing this firmware is still lollipop and not marshmallow, right?
Quick question, if I switch firmwares, would I lose my DRM keys? I have locked bootloader still and don't want to lose them. I do want to switch firmwares to US or Canada so I have a local baseband. The signal is not the best and I'm pretty sure switching firmwares will definitely help with that.

You only lose DRM keys when you unlock bootloader.

Is it 5.1.1 still?? what changes or fixes does it have??

Offcourse there's noise when zooming, that's the way digital zoom works.
If you take two pictures in a tripod stand, one zoomed and one not zoomed you can cut the not zoomed image to the same size and have two exact same images. Digital zoom is worthless, it is the exact same thing as zooming in on a pic in the gallery.

At least sony should start marshmallow concept for z5 user.
Z3 users are enjoying the concept build but z5 user are waiting.
We deserve concept build

Fingerprint stop working with this update? Really has no fingerprint in US devices?

I've tried this (.209) firmware, it does remove the fingerprint option.
Was forced to go back to the older firmware to get it back ;D

lolol, does that mean the US devices only have it disabled in software? Seems likely, I didn't think they'd start a new production line just to remove the fingerprint reader.
Did you notice any change in signal though?

See, the signal was why I was looking forward to this being released but I won't trade fingerprint for better signal :/

Honestly the signal was just the same.
Although my comments could not be very accurate, since the signal around home and work is very strong.

Agreed, but we could frankenstein a firmware if the signal is better..

You need someone who got the phone to try flashing the phone with other firmware,that way you know forsure if they removed the hardware.

I think when on 8th of February someane buys officiall US variant, and if Fingerprint doesnt work, someone will just try to flash other versions, for example CE1 or other, to see if it'll work. Might be.

Will Huawei send nougat OTA or do I have to download it?

I'm not seeing any traditional update software options in the about phone section. How will we receive Android OS updates on this tablet? Thanks.

Well it seems in the moment there just are no updates...
Normally you should get your update via ota (you should see an update option in your "main menu"), except for beta/leaked versions, if they should leak anyhow/anytime...
For now, there are no leaked or official updates for our mediapad m3 :-/

If you Google nougat for Huawei mediapad M3 there are several sites that claim they have the download you can Flash
The only thing in the about phone setting I can find about updates is updating the emui

As I know the update emui menu will also update your android (for example to android 7 + emui 5.0).
I know these sites, but as long as I do not see a link hier on xda, on the huawei news pages or on the huawei homepage itself I think these links are just nonsense.
(For example some of these pages just link every phone available and say "download XXXXX android 7 here"... I would not try to install these... But I also suppose you won't get a real package anyway there.)

Rally don't know if we ever see 7.0 for the M3.
The M2 never received 6.0, and what I heard is that Huawei just doesn't give a fu** about tablet software.

Huawei generally doesn't give a fu** about software updates. My Mediapad X2 GEM 701 never received an update. That's why I had to undergo a hugely complex updating procedure with chinese ROMs modified sh1t.

I just got the new update with October patch. They removed the navigation bar too.

How did you get this patch for your m3? Mine can not find any updates...

Chinese version only perhaps?

Actually it's the September security patch,but I got a notification in the update section. About 256mb. Took about 20 min to complete. I bought my tablet in Thailand.

Do you mean you can now disable the on-screen buttons or what has changed with that update? Thx!

I think that the NOUGAT OTA will be sent together with the new EMUI 5.0 (this version of its ui layer is based on android 7)... Anyone know an approximate date?

Correct,also it said better chrome operation,so maybe people that had problems running chrome in small format ,now can. I always had mine set in medium text and didn't have a problem. There were other things it said ,basic improvements,etc... I can't really notice any change other than the ability to disable the new buttons. Which like I said ,disables the ability to start split screen. Unless someone can tell me how to do NB it with only the fingerprint scanner......I'm also running Nova free launcher.
Plainly,this tablet is sick as F. I'm coming from a wifi only Xperia z3tablet compact though...... the only reason I bought this just because the camera Hardware had a malfunction on the Sony.

Haha haha,
Yes in a very good way. It's heavier than the z3 compact,and no water resistance,but it's smooth ,fast,and the LTE connectivity is incredible. I always have 5 bars of 4g. Now ,I live in Thailand,and the internet is crap here compared to the USA,so in the states it's probably even better. It was half the cost of a normal flag ship phone too,and it's basically a huge phone. It comes with a screen protector and a case,however the case is Carmel color and hard to look at,but it's growing on me. This tablet charges very fast too.
If your on the fence,buy it for sure.

As far as I read not all CPUs are conform with Android 7.0. The M2 has one of them. The CPU of the M3 is conform so i hope we will see the update soon.
