Hi everybody!
I was inspired by this post, so I just put some line together and created this page:
http://scavenger.ch/sonyupdate
What it does is simply check against http://fuas.sonymobile.com and retrieve the latest firmware version for your mobile phone (both C6602 and C6603).
You have to insert your own customization id/number to check if there's a new firmware available for you.
This page can be bookmarked with your own model and custom number.
Tell me if you like it.
not bad
Add a better design and make it more user attractive.
Thanks for this. Much more convenient than having to start my PC up to check.

Really? How long are you spending looking at this? It does the job just fine. No need for prettying it up IMO.
Anyway, how about you code and design a 'better and more user attractive' site?

Looks great, works fine. Doesn't need to look pretty, it does the job.

Thanks, but what's the advantage of this instead of just bookmarking the URL to the XML file with the latest firmware version?

Perhaps, but I didn't know the URL was in that thread, whereas the title of this thread made me read it and use the small tool the OP had created.
Don't worry anyway man, credit was given in the OP and there's plenty of thanks to go around. It's not a competition

I can create the update check URL for Xperia ZL if you provide:
- screenshot of the 'Software info' screen in your service menu.
- first 8 digits of your IMEI number

Without your post, this little web page could not exist. I've cited and linked your post in my first post. If this does annoy you in any way, just tell me and I'll bring it down ASAP.

Of course it does not annoy me
I'm happy that my posts are useful to other people and that it allows them to create things like this.
Thanks also for linking to my original thread.
One suggestion: since your web check only works for Xperia Z (C6602 and C6603) anyway, maybe you can even replace the 'Model' text field by two radio buttons (one for C6602 and one for C6603)
Edit: WOW! That was fast :laugh:

Thank you for your approval and your suggestion!
By the way, if you can generate an URL for the ZL, I can add it to this page too.
P.S. you should check the page source...

LOL! Thanks
I will generate the URL for Xperia ZL if someone provides me with:
- a screenshot of the 'Software info' screen in the service menu
- first 8 digits of the IMEI number
I need this for each model of Xperia ZL (C6502, C6503, C6506).
didn't list the firmware when I put my custom number in.

It been done but Im not sure if it will work on your I9505. Personally, I dont see why not since the attached rom in the link is based on the I9505 rom. check the add-on section:

If you have a 2012 or 2013 Xperia device you will be able to activate My Xperia from your phone’s settings. Once it’s enabled, a visit to the My Xperia site will let you sound alerts, find your phone on a map, lock it down, and erase internal and external storage. It’s surprising that three years after Find my iPhone there’s still no Google location service distributed with Android, but Xperia owners out there will no doubt be happy about having a first-party way to track down their phones.

download the app from the link provided by zolaisugly, install it as usual, go to setting--> security --> administrator --> enable myxperia
then just go to myxperia site, login and it will automatically show your phones location
It's a good idea but, there're many difficulties in tracking the lost phone, especially a phone using Android, actually! 'Coz flashing a rom is as easy as turning off a light! :laugh:
P/S: However I've installed and activated this service, just like an interesting thing of technology!
Ah so its not here by default.
... And about locking phone really? Just flash it with newphone. Problem solved.

The Z2 is on the Sony USA website! I can't link directly to it, but if you go to www.sony.com and click on the picture of the smartphone to the right of the a6000 camera and left of the PS4, it's the XPERA Z2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you look at the link carefully, though, it's on the global site, not the us one. However, the phone does seem to support some us networks like tmobile and att, since their particular frequencies are listed as compatible in the specs.

Since the international version supports all bands better to buy it than the specific tmo version unless you need wifi calling.

Here in Norway we get the Smartband SWR10 when buying Z2, with every provider as far as I've seen. But we can also buy it seperatly for 100 dollars.
Ask for the apk in Android General thread. Its one of the most popular threads on XDA. There are tons of restricted apks there. The rule is, free only, per XDA rules.

Do you know how it tracks you movement? How does it know you drive/walk/run? I get the walk/run because you run faster, but if you're stuck in traffic it might think you are walking..

My smartband wont be here until Friday so I can't be certain but if it's similar to other sensors it depends on motion. Driving will sometimes show up as steps but it's reasonably accurate. If I set the car to firm suspension I get a lot more steps!
