There will be updates, just have a little patience, device is still pretty new.
maybe their Z2/Z3d updates were bring them up to date with us we'll get updates when there is something worth upgrading I guess - I'd be pretty sure the priority now is iron out lollipop bugs at this late cycle stage, not prioritising tidying up 4.4.4 anymore
Well, they need to fix stereo sound in video recordings because it sucks so much it's unbelievieble...

This would have been better posted in this thread as firmware is covered already... http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/general/ftf-stock-firmwares-xperia-z3-models-t2886061
However, as it stands, the Z3 already has 4.4.4, the previous line don't.
Not sure what "update" you're looking for and why.
It's already on the latest version of Android and there are no critical bugs to fix - they are probably busy with Lollipop.
What update did you expect ?
the word "update" is not what u think it means. the whole Sony xperia line evolves around the thought of dont fix it if it aint broken...
I came from Z2. The camera is worst then Z2, the battery life is worst then z2. Do you think it needs an update?

Sony has already confirmed that Xperia Z and in fact all their current flagships will receive 4.3. The only question is when?

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. Basically the same as installing flashtool and then flashing an ftf. So both end up being the same step to update. And one question are u able to root the 244 update? And what makes it better then the 423 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

It's normal behavior, in fact it makes no sense to wait long for "nothing"... but now as many have said the failure to implement all the features of z2 with an update is linked to the interests of the company ... who would rise from z1 to z2 if you can get the same thing at a lower price?
And this is the main problem of the technology, not only of Sony
However this is xda

I am certainly not gonna find excuses for Sony's despicable behaviour. Z1 is only 6 months old, it should be fully supported and get all the new features it can handle. We helped Sony become more relevant in the mobile market and that's how they reward their customers? They really expect us to pay 600$ twice a year if we want a decent update? That's just dishonest! Shame on you Sony!!!

It is more vulnerable to stagefright than ever and mobile radio active battery drain is still there.
Don't know the difference but 48 hours on battery with quite heavy use (almost 15 hours podcast streaming, regularly browsing, sms, calling,music, camera etc) and still 23% to go. That's very good

The "big deal" with the stagefright bug is the fact that you only need to view an infected video in your MMS/Browser/Mail to probably become hacked.
Just read this: https://blog.lookout.com/blog/2015/07/28/stagefright/
Based on Lookout’s own Stagefright research over the last 24 hours it also appears that multimedia viewed in a browser (e.g. a web video) could be used to deliver a Stagefright attack.

I mean I get it, it can do harm, but what exactly? It was discovered by a security company which created an app to determine the vulnerability to the bug and released an anti-virus software. And when considered that like 99% of the possibility to get 'hacked' can be disabled by the user, it sounds more like a promotion for their products rather than a real threat.

Every video you watch on your Handset could contain a virus, it doesn't matter if it comes over MMS or WWW or Email.
So disabling the MMS autodownload is not a real solution.

As soon as my thinkpad gets its parts, I'll look into software development of the Z5 E6653 for personal use, and I'll also document it and post it here. I hope I'll be one of the major devs of AOSP Nougat custom ROM for the Z5.
Guys, how do I open Xperia Care? Can't remember I removed some system apps that I don't needed but I don't remember deleting this one..
Nevermind I freezed Support apk, because I got a sticky notification to uodate my phone to latest fw .305 so thats why.
Anyway I just unfreezed it to check this out and it's true! I'm so excited! Do you know when will this update comes out?
It is planned for december for the z5 series on the roadmap.
