but when you connect it to companion it will say your phone is up to date..
Im on THREE and as always we are always the last to get any updates
anyone with other UK network has got 2.1???
FOLLOW UP: Although links states it is there ,I had a quick chat with a represntative and she advised it will be released depending on the carrier and you should check with your own network about the release date
I'm on a generis phone in the UK (on Orange) and I've not recived any notification yet and have just checked via my phone for the latest software update and I've got the message saying I have the up to date software.
Cant check via my PC connection till I get home from work
No its not SE website says this on all country sites.
They are just to lazy to maintain each site seperately
No prompt on UK Generic thus far, still notifies software being the latest :/
Lol shouldn't you wait until they say its out? Nordic was announced 2 days before release.

You are wrong , when you go to the update on sony erricson website and it says new software available and then it asks you to connect the phone to pc companion...then this is a different story ... they didnt say it will be released later ,they provided you with links...so dont worry i read very well....

It's very deceptive.. states that the software has been released on the 1.11.10 but clearly hasn't (at least not yet)... but like other posters have said.. SE have put this on all their countries pages.. and could potentially get pulled up for false advertising over this...

As much as I'd like to agree, there's nothing being advertised here. No products being sold and no intended deception (as far as I can tell).
Also, November 1st is far from over in 80% of the world.
It's still going to be another couple of days in the UK due to additional testing according to their UK Twitter page....

take alook in feture>os
it say we can upgrade officially 2.3
I think its just a mistyping. Once I saw that X8 has got 1GHz CPU So don't eat it.
EDIT: "Disclaimer. We can not guarantee that the information on this page is 100% correct."
X8 is upgradable, yes. This means X8's hardware support Android 2.3. Pity, but this does not mean that the X8 updated officially to 2.3
they fool people around they say u can run flash on x8 after upgrading to 2.2
and it has arm11 processor which is a big lie

Maybe the guys from that website saw GingerDX on XDA and that's why they put X8 as upgradeable to 2.3 because Dx's roms are better than official

Hi,
I read that sony ericsson is going to update their 2011 Xperia products so the GPS can additionaly receive GLONASS signals.
as far as I read about GLONASS the signals are quite similar to GPS, so there wouldn't be much to modify.
As I'm quite a noob on the G3's GPS I wanted to ask if anyone knows if it would be possible to add this feature to G3's GPS system too.
1st of all , wrong section to ask.
2ndly , that is hardware modification!
May be possible (hillbest may do it adding new chips or something , he is great hardware dev) , but no one would try that!

He says in the top post that Sony Ericsson are going to UPDATE their Xperia range which means that they are going to give a firmware/software update so i don't think it's a hardware modification unless Sony Ericsson are willing to take back the millions of mobiles they sold, take them apart, add the new modifications and post them back to the owner of the mobile.

As far as i am aware, Sony Ericsson stated that their Xperia line up was already ready with the required hardware to support Glonass, and now only the subsequent software/firmware modifications were needed. I do not think we have the required hardware/chip needed to perform such a function.
Well I would like to correct you guys that first of all it's SONY no more ericsson and second they are going to use that glonass thing in the upcoming xperia lined up.
So no use of this thread I think.!

In fact, it appears that some of the 2011 Xperia range (Xperia arc, Xperia arc S, Xperia ray, Xperia neo, Xperia pro, Xperia PLAY, Xperia active and Live with Walkman) also have GLONASS support with the latest software update.

http://www.xperiablog.net/2012/01/22/sony-ericsson-confirms-glonass-navigation-support-for-new-xperia-range/
it's a software update, not hardware. I just wanted to know if one of the devs who already worked with the GPS knows if this can be done on G3 too
anyway as far as I know the signals from the GLONASS satelite is quite similar to the ones given by the GPS satellites. so it might be possible to receive them even with old GPS hardware
GLONASS can be enabled in every phone with Qualcomm MSM8255 Snapdragon chipset...
The Sony Xperia Z2 and Z3 devices are both amongs one of Sony's best smartphones ever that they has released. By signing this petition, we will all let Sony take action and update our precious Z2 and even Z3 devices to Android Nougat!
But what about Vulkan API support???
Anything is possible, and we will prove to Google and Sony that having the minimum requirements for software to work correctly, is plain garbage, and that Vulkan API can be left out for them, because it's not like the Vulkan API is a necessity for Nougat in order to run correctly.
ANYMORE QUESTIONS WILL BE BROUGHT UP FROM THE COMMENTS ONTO THE OP AND ANSWERED HERE.
SIGN THIS PETITION NOW!: http://bit.ly/2eEwqN5
Thanks!
I Just Want A Stable 7.0 Build For Z2
Man i think this is impossible. Qualcomm completely left the development of the SD800/801 and if Sony update our devices without permission of Google, they will be in a big trouble. To me, this is impossible.
You are totally right Little Snevil. I also think that official update it's impossible because Qualcomm processor.
Enviado do meu D6503 através de Tapatalk
Well, MAYBE it is possibile to get android 7.0 on snap 801. Just look http://www.techtimes.com/articles/1...coming-soon-geekbench-benchmark-hints-yes.htm
This is sad, but change.org never has been listed by Google or Sony, like happen with z1 and marshmallow, Xperia L and kit kat, Xperia sp and kit kat. The true is Google and Sony never listen to users, only look the sales, and for those is better for him sale the new and forget the old
what i can say in that?
@Brandon Nel
Having a petition is a good idea, and I am not against it.
But there are two questions I would like to raise before proceeding to sign the petition:
1. Our Z3 and Z2 has been released for 24 and 30 months already, this already exceed the normal aftermarket support for Android devices (usually it goes among 18 to 24 months). Although you might say there has been rule breakers recently (for instance the Xperia Z that has almost 36 months of follow up upgrade), but however there are also some far below standard devices (eg Xperia C, which has no android upgrade since release). After all, Qualcomm, Sony and any other companies still have to make money for R&D and make a living, right? So I am thinking that shouldnt we live with what we are having now (AOSP 7.0)?
2. Shouldnt Qualcomm the company you should challenge against? Vulkan and OpenGS are featured in the chipset which is manufactured by QC, not Sony!
We should petition Qualcomm & Google instead of Sony.. Sony tried their best to bring Nougat through their Beta program for Z3.
But due to the lack of chipset updates from Qualcomm and the Vulkan API requirement set by Google, so many devices have been abandoned from the update even though they are fully capable to run N. This includes Z2 & Z3.
So in this case, either Qualcomm has to release update to our chipset or we have to force Google to remove mandatory Vulkan API requirement.

Paste a link to the petition on Twitter Sony and Sony News
//This is purely an opinion, might be treated as sarcasm, but it is an opinion
1. Nougat is bad for me, it is uglier and security is even worse because of getting more strict.
2. It is nearly impossible to push this through, because now you need to actually HAVE that VulkanAPI support in order to get a cert from google to use gapps(Noone will use Vulkan straight away, because of fragmentation, but well, three billion devices run java, now three billion devices will have to run Vulkan as well and if not, they'll die)
Any effort is worthwhile haha. This should be shared in the Z3 forums!
Well, Sony published AOSP for Xperias. This might mean something, maybe they will be able to somehow get that cert.
Did you see this :
Sony is not to blame for leaving the Xperia Z3 off the Android Nougat list

All devices with SD 800/801 will not updated to Android N 7.0 , Because of Qulacomm .

Not because of Qualcomm, but because of Google. They made Vulkan obligatory for getting certs. No one is going to use it from day one of Nougat anyway, because fragmentation, they want to push APIs, but Nougat isn't like 99% of Android right now. Although it might be handy when it reaches higher shares due to Vulkan's performance.
Sony has added the Xperia XZ Premium and Xperia XZs to its Open Device project, allowing you to build and flash your own versions of Android™ N onto those devices. You can find all the resources you need on Developer World
https://developer.sonymobile.com/20...emium-now-part-of-sonys-open-devices-program/
some users unlocked XZP using xz from https://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/unlock-yourboot-loader/
soon XZP will be in the menu... will that affect drm fix ?
I am wandering now can we solve DRM issue?
@serajr
@shoey63
@tobias.waldvogel
Isn't this old news?
They've said before the XZ Premium would be on the list soon™
I can't see how it would make any difference just because you're able to select XZ Premium. You still unlock the bootloader the same way.
No, that makes no difference. Sony bullsh**s us by "opening the XZP to the bla bla bla world bla bla bla" while forcing the restriction of losing DRM on the customers. It's like saying "Your Porsche can now be modified any way you want to - but we'll replace the engine with one we pulled from an old E-bike".

I will probably choose the next XZ1 Compact (if rumors have become true) and ofc, I will not unlock it until a drm backup/restore/fix/cve-temp-root solution is working.

I am thinking to change my mobile, and seriously considering XZ , it came out on 6.x and has xploit! and whatever reviews i have read, its still good phone for 2017 and beyond, already running on 7.1.1 and will goto 8 ...
now the question that worries me alot!
will XZ be my last phone with sony?
if there is no DRMFIX Out there! i won't buy XZ successors at all because i cannot live with non rooted droids! they are just too frustrating! all the bloatware even after disabling most of them, they are still sitting in your partition! occupying gbs of your limited storage!
also mods like editing xml files for sound output, processor clocking can only be done when you have rooted phone!
nope! rooted phone is MUST for me!
- if i ever switch to any other droid! SONY is to blame
