Same here

pathetic, Sony.. really pathetic. they really need to step up their game when it comes to releasing updates. at this rate will probably see the z4 released before the next firmware update for the z3

Yes I agree 100% with you, instead of releasing too many devices in a short space of time that are not much different, but different enough to make rolling out firmware updates far too slow.
If Sony want to really be a serious player in the mobile phone market, they should be releasing Lollipop for at least their latest flagship now or in the next few days, as pretty much everyone else has.

At this point, doesn't it come down to the carrier approving it?

I don't think so, they could have released the update to the no carrier firmwares first.

Leak **** leak xperia z

My sources tell me that the Usa version of Xperia z will carry the new snapdragon 600 series !! That's why it didn't come out Jan or Feb and there releasing it Q2 and it makes total sense cause if it didnt have the new and improved 600 series snapdragon they should of released it q1 to not have any losses during all of quarter one but it makes sense why there there waiting for Q2.. whoopie .... Thanks Sony for using the new 600 series on the Usa version of Xperia z I'm glad I didn't try and buy a different phone now in quarter 1when I had an upgrade available ..

why would only the US version of the Xperia Z get the new chipset?
your souces sound false.
Sv: Leak **** leak xperia z
That would be rather odd, if that was the case.. I'd like to see that, before I believe it. Would be the poorest marketing move of Sony yet..

Delaying launch will only hamper sales as new competition will be out then... surely Sony never want that
Where is Spectre51.. he has a good insider to I believe
Yeah it's likely less than 1% true if you ask me. Although I would have believed it if it were samsung or htc but sony? Nah! Not gonna happen even if it would be the end of the world
No info on the different CPU part of the original topic. Highly doubtful.

While I don't necessarily believe this so called "leak" I do believe that if we're to wait until Q2 for this phone, it should be updated with the latest chipset. Consumers don't want to feel like they are buying a new device with "old" tech inside, even if the performance is still great and it is not that old. I WANT Sony to sell their ZL here in Canada with the new 600 series, considering the new chips are available.

Exactly if they wanted to make sales and have ZERO losses at all period it would of released already globally but it didnt cause they want to make sure the usa version has the new An improved 600 series that's why its not out yet also hasn't given out any details regarding it there waiting FOR 21 to announce everything ...at that big show and they will use the new 600 series as the marketING scheme to get people to buy it.. I mean lets be total seriously here if its not gone have 600 series it would be released already GLOBALLY !!!!! It would have been the smartest choice to realease the best phone in Q1 before other great phones come OUT they would have had an entire quarter all to themselves for people to buy there phone but they can't so there waiting til Q2 when they have enough supplies of the 600 series to realease the phone with.

Well then, sounds like one of the carriers might be picking one of the devices up after all (of course, after applying the usual branding). Good for Sony, didn't expect AT&T to pick up any Xperia's this period.
Might be something else but I can't really think of anything. Sony doesn't like making a lot of hardware adjustments (especially not internals) so that pretty much rules out a Snapdragon 600 for H1.

Well....they have found a bugs in that fw so they built fixed fw, certified it and it's in testing stage.
That will be (most likely) fw that will be released.
Would you be happier with fw full of bugs and errors or rather wait few more days for fw with less bugs and problems?
Lollipop will be out sooner then we all thought and that's something that I want as soon as possible, 4.4.4. is something we need but 5.00 is fw I can't wait to see...
Another 15 days or month!

No...it'll be out in a next few days...there's no chance they'll wait one whole month.
New firmware is tested, they fixed all bugs and they are doing finial testing.
It's quite obvious that testers found problems in first build, so they fixed that and certified another build.
That should be the one we'll receive...
Of course, it's always possible that they bump into serious problems and can't release this one too but I really doubt that...
This is now just polished version of first certified fw and that one should be good...

may be Lolipop's!... as far as I know PTCRB versions for certifications are for release versions... not internal. My assumption is either this is for a different market or an enhanced version. the 3.0.1.A.3 and 3.0.1.A.0 numbers - makes me think it could be an upgraded version.
on the other hand I see Z2 (just like Z Ultra) prices falling linearly - I suspect we will have this version as last but one in case it is 4.4.4 or if 5.0 then could be the end....!

When the original Z is getting Lollipop what makes you think it's end of the road for Z2 updates?

I think he mean it is the end of the Z and not Z2 because the Z2 have more ram and a better chip like a 2.3 ghz quadcore instead of 1.5 ghz, so let we all wait on 4.4.4 and next year on 5.0 and then we can talk further about any updates if we Z2 users already run as the 1st ones on 5.0 !

I think so, but it's a big jump over previous build.
if you look at curent market outlook, sony's losses and Samsung in re-planning, and Motorola out from google, i see that gameplan will change soon, and the support model and release cycles will have a great impact.
Supporting a model over 2 years is a huge cost if the chipsets and technology change with every model. Z2 an Z3 will not have impact for a year or so since chipsets are similar. but Z4 onwards I see there will be a shift in whole view of mobile devices since business is getting hit, Google is revamping its strategy. it will not be plain simple firmware upgrades every quarter anymore in my view. I may be wrong and I know people are just waiting for new firmware upgrades - as long as mobile works - and apps work I dont see a need of releasing a version unless there is major tuning or upgrade.
2 years lifecylce is good, but every 6 months firmware upgrade is something I doubt going forward after Lolipop
i cant wait anymore , i hope this FW rollout in next days

Sad sony user

While we're waiting for the release of the Lollipop update, who should be this month, the Russian Samsung S4 gt-i9500 got the update. The S4 not the S5.
What bothers me the most, is almost all the flagships (Samsung, LG, Nexus, HTC,...) got the update expect Sony's

What do you want
A firmware made of hardwork
Or rushed work
Either way sony has been working harder than they ever have on Lolipop for Xperias
It would have been nice if they were at the same level as their opponents, that's all what I'm saying

If Sony sells its mobile division, I'd probably by a nexus
I'll take Samsung for my example because I know them.
Samsung will rush their update, they make sure everything works as it should, but the software is not optimized, My S3 would always lag really badly when I updated, it could take 5 seconds for the app draw to load, and they fill it with bloat and update their own apps which also lag really badly. I would prefer to wait another month as see a quality product rather than relive my Samsung nightmare.

Its coming soon, be patient!
To be honest it's this month and whenever they start to roll out the update, it'll be there on multiple servers unlike Samsung or HTC.
Other OEMs haven't started rolling it out completely and Only problem with Sony is that I am afraid they'll update mid-range phones to lollipop.
Plus Selling their mobile division won't happen I guess. They just need to stop producing more phones and just stick to a plan with less devices with more futuristic updates with some cool ads. Unlike boring or stupid ones. and they will rise from this nightmare and will continue to amaze us but I really hope that they'll release Camera features with the next lollipop update

I understand where you're coming from but it's been a Perennial issue with Sony. It's a very competitive industry and lagging behind others does Sony no good. There will always be the expected responses from Sony fans like better to wait for an update which is bug free than one rushed and bug ridden .
Truth is, there has never been an update from Sony that's been bug free and there probably never will be as is the case with all manufacturers.
The good news is they're at least closing the gap. Once upon a time they were many months behind. It's unfortunate because the Sony ui is one of the closest to stock so you should expect it to be one of the earliest.
Software support has never been one of their highest priorities but the new CEO did say they wanted to improve in this respect.
Let's hope so eh!

167 took ages because Sony wanted to showcase the software on the z3 range. That was down to strategy and not software optimisation. The 6 month madness was to blame for the delay in getting 4.4.4 to the z2. Nothing else!

Notice that I've been loyal to Sony since my first phone (w810) and so and so. And I would love to stick with Sony to the very last end but they should make some changes.
I don't know if its me, but the only bug I did have was with the Z when running 4.3: an app couldn't sync with the server, also the widgets stopped working from time to time.
That's all I can remember from the w810, w995, x2, x10, J, S, Z and Z2 bugs

Xperia Z2 (D6502) Lollipop 5.0.2 update in INDIA 😩😥

Sent from my D6502 using XDA Free mobile app
Have patience or head over to the firmware made for every Z2 and flash it.
This is not the place for you to cry!!!!!
Here we mod for our own use as niabloc did for all of us.
Damn, I thought that D6502's lolipop is available!
Now Android 5 has some bugs, so I think the update will be delayed.
Absolutely. The update which was rolled out is not at all the final firmware if it was it could have been rolled to other regions also since india is always one of the first countries where sony starts rolling new firmware. I think it safe to assume we will get the update only in april.
Maybe sony noticed the x-reality bug and stopped the rollout..

I updated with Nordic Lollipop firmware and found out that I could not search anything on Walkman App (I used stock xperia keyboard with THAI and US layout). I think there might still be some problems with non-latin writing regions. Now, I'm back to KitKat.
Anyway, don't worry about getting the update. I last to get is always Japanese variant.
I don't understand why some of you fail to READ posts in a forum.. There is a D6502 patch available for the prerooted fw provided by niaboc79.. Plus Search bar in walkman works fine. Make a fresh install to avoid bugs like that. Only problem in Lp update is XR and Super vivid files are missing. Apart from that, I have zero issues. Since I am on UB, I don't have to worry about it, though since most of you guys like to stay on LB, you can flash the mod in themes section which fixes the XR issue.. And there won't be any changes in the Indian update unless there is a change in the build number, which is very highly unlikely.. So stop thinking that there are bugs and it should be fixed. Read more guys, read before complain..

To be honest releasing the FW in just 2 regions doesn't seem like a roll out to me, more like a test run. and maybe when the actual roll out happens next week india will be the 1st one in that to receive it. and even you guys didnt actually get it. just used a different ftf to flash. that does not count

this comment was for Z3 which saw multiple regions receiving the update last week, but even that stopped after tuesday and no new regions received it since Wednesday that i know of. was hoping even z2 might start receiving at the beginning of this week, but seems like sony has made it a habit of going back on their word repeatedly.

[Not a surprise] We are getting Android 6.0 Marshmallow

According to the official Sony Mobile blog, we are indeed getting the next major release of Android:

Excited?
Fantastic news!
Been debating whether or not to splash out on a Z3 Tablet Compact and the fact that it's also getting an update might push me over.
Cheers for the link

They probably don't want to repeat an as sloppy start as with LP, so I'd guess somewhere between Jan-Mar, but the fact that they're moving closer to Vanilla may affect that..
Personally, I hope that they will expand the theming capabilities of their current theme engine. It's already quite good but being able to theme more the official way (no rooting or modding just swapping the themes on the go) would be great.
You think that next update will be closer to Vanilla from Sony's Android™ Concept??
Kinda pity the Z1 users. Their device is more than capable to run Marshmallow. But we're not here to talk about them. I'm kinda not that excited about the Marshmallow update. I just want Sony to release a bugfree update in just one release. Is that really too hard to ask for?

Google can't do it and you ask sony for that ? Impossibru
I don't get why Sony have to change the home circle to a house and the phone icon. I hope they keep it stock and get rid of that coloured notification bar
Should arrive around Dec 2016 then once the Networks have pissed around with it!
Always.... Complains when we hesr good news from Sony ><"
Get some of you never tired of yourself [emoji14]
