UK Generic for 6603 is out. - Xperia Z General

Only a month late!
Just downloading now via pc companion (needed).

Don't bother, pcc can't find the update after downloading it.
Grabbing it with flashtool, it looks like a broken version of 230 anyway.
Nice one Sony! Gits....

Looks like they've updated the server now to match the update!
Pity they don't do that first.

Sucks, got my hopes up when I saw the title lol! It is ridiculous how long it is taking though.. I think it's something to do with Three from what I can remember

No it is out, just downloading again with pcc now.

Finally! After three downloads, I've now got the Generic UK version on my phone!
Now to delete all of those useless apps!

Oh wow sweet yeah just seen notification in update center. Hopefully this will sort the battery!

It was out OTA by this afternoon which was good!

Anyone created an ftf yet?

Sorry ,,, but what different between generic and customized ? and what you love generic ? thank you.

Customised UK is generic. No network add ons. Oh, and by the way, if you update ota you keep root.

Anyone having Bluetooth pairing issues with this update? Might have to factory reset it anyway. Trying to pair a garmin fenix 2 and it's not playing ball.

Why would Optus put it on the market? It's supposed to be on our phone and we're not supposed to be able to get rid of it.
In the highly likely chance that someone would need it if they bought a phone out right ??????
I'm with 3 and they have their apps on the market.

But that's supposed to be the benefit of actually getting the phone from them. They have to have some perks.
I would also really like this as well
When I installed the generic UK firmware, it wiped it out.

I'm on stock optus running r2ba026. got the extra year warranty so i'm not rooting yet.
Wow I'm surprised optus are actually keeping up now.
Even if your phone does screw up under warranty though you can still flash back to stock firmware.
From what I've heard optus take up to a month to get the phone back to you anyway so its easier to go to a third party.

Thanks mate, your the best. Unfortunetly, I can't log in as it thinks my phone number is "invalid". I don't know what wrong, but I hope I figure it out.
Edit: I fixed it. Just realised I typed the wrong username. Thanks, works like a charm. I hate how the widget doesn't work. Optus really needs to work on that. Maybe there will be an app on the Market one day for checking Optus usage with a working widget.

Theres third party apps which work better than the optus widget. Realtime!!
I belive optus only updates every 24 hrs on their servers? I may be incorrect but was when I worked there!
I flashed my phone to 2.1 global. Installed Node Droid from market. Works better than the Optus app IMO.

I am from India...didn't got the update yet
Nothing yet on UK Generic (rooted). Maybe because I have bloatware frozen (although I'm not sure if the update not showing up has any affect on that).
R800i, 2.3.3, 4.0.A.2.368 (full hebrew support, so i guess it's israeli version[?]).
still no update.

I recommend you don't try it yet. I can't say for sure but since the R800a and r800i can flash their firmwares interchangeably I don't see why it wouldn't work for the r800at.
OK. Also, when trying to flash this, I can't seem to get into fastboot mode. It just takes me to the charging battery screen. I hold down the search button when plugging in the USB.
Sent from my R800at using xda premium
hold it down about half a seconds before you put in the usb. also, you need to be holding the back button for flashtool, the search key is for fastboot
Their us an tft file already if you want to flash it on your phone. Its somewhere on the android development section for the xperia play.

Did you actually try it? So long as the video is 720p @ 30fps constant then I'm happy!
By the way, what other improvements/fixes does the new update offer? Any performance/speed increase?

Come on guys, no one answered my question with regards to the sound.
Is the sound just as loud as the previous 2.3.3?
Is the xLOUD still there? If not is there any way to get it?
What else is new in the update? Is it worth updating?
Reason I'm asking is because I've only just updated to 2.3.3 and it's great in every way.
I understand the video camera has been greatly improved however I never use the camera and therefore not too bothered about 720p.
Reason I bought my Xperia Play was to game!
So, is the new update worth it or not and why.
Thanks guys & girls...

this is something they leaked before - http://www.xperiablog.net/2011/12/0...-neo-3-0-1-b-0-285-certified-for-xperia-play/

PTCRB is the one that certified all the firmware. If it is passed by PTCRB, then it is ready for release. Correct me if i'm wrong though

When you see Fw appear on that site it's normally around 2 weeks till it gets rolled out. But we need to find out if it is real deal. Doubt this is a typo or mistake so looking good so far, will get on to Sony see if we can dig up some more info

Sony support chat seems to be down all i get is a white screen.
Thanks a lot
Maybe they've resolved the touchpad issue with other devs (Gameloft, EA etc).
Well i give up.. i just cant seem to connect to Sony chat support..
but i hope it's ICS because 4.1.* seems to be ICS on other Sony phone.
and i got bored with GB..
It is an ICS FW that is on that list same as the 4.0.4 release for arc. just wrote a quick article if want to see the arc version number (screenshot) http://www.xperiagamer.com/Blog3/ics-for-play-gets-certified.html

Funny thing. The unbranded Xperia z got updates later then the branded one. And flashing an ftf is basically the same as doing the official update. In either case u use a flashtool or sony companion. Same thing basically.. So ur complain about it is so what wrong. Because in either case ur phone needs to be hooked up to the pc mac or whatever to update.

The point is we shouldn't have to we don't want special treatment we just want the same as everyone else.
If my phone broke under warranty would Sony say your phone is UK unbranded fix it yourself? I don't think so.
I just don't swallow their lies quite as easy as some people do.

Well ok I see. For me it wasn't a big deal because like I said no matter if my phone would have told me there is an update I still would have to hook it up to my laptop install sony companion and then update.

The .224 I believe is much quicker and smoother It's sorted out allot of the lag you get with .423.
Yes it can be rooted Doomlord sorted it out. It's a bit of a rigmarole but it works.
If your not on it try it its definitely better.

Yeah not on it yet didn't feel like rooting it. As u just mention I saw that there is a root for this version but right now I am kinda lazy to do all that stuff right now. But I am pretty sure I will pretty soon update to that version. Or maybe skip until 4.3. Not sure.

It has lots to do with it. Sony are spouting on about all these update and we in the UK aren't getting any.
and I'm certainly not gonna kiss Sony butt they've given us nothing and I'm gonna tell everyone I can including Sony on this open forum and others how much they suck so people can make a clear and informed decision before being duped into buying their products.
It is pointless complaining and some of us are sick and tired of every single thread regarding updates being infested with it. Even unrelated threads about Android 4.3 such as this one.
1. Go to Sony's support forum and complain there. Nobody here really cares or can help you with your 'problem'.
2. You are on a development site. Any update is available here minutes after it's released, negating the need to whine about it not being available for your region.
Just as an aside, I am also from the UK. I simply flashed another regions software when 423 was released and moved on. I will be updating to the latest software this afternoon. No pointless complaining from my part.

Sony announced that 4.3 will be available 'early August'. We all know what early means
