Sony today has confirmed that Android 4.4 starts rolling out for Z1, Z1C and Z Ultra:
http://blogs.sonymobile.com/2014/03...eria-z-ultra-xperia-z1-and-xperia-z1-compact/
Next in line is the rest of Z family: Z, ZL, Tablet Z and ZR and the new phones T2 Ultra, M2 and E1. No mentioning of SP, T and V. So it's quite obvious that we will NOT receive any future updates. The phone that is not even one year old is abandoned by Sony. I think we will receive one more bug "fixing" update for 4.3 (the one that is certified) and that's it. What do you think guys? Is there any chance we will get official 4.4?

Wonder if android 5.0 will hit on our phones in the next few mths. That happened on z1 for kitkat.
Can't wait to see what material design Sony can come out with!
Probarly yes !
With KitKat last year it took Sony about a week to announce some of the phones what they would be upgrading to KitKat. After that it took about 4 months for them to release the update to about half of the Z family and then about another 2 months to release the update to the other half.
If we are lucky this time then we could expect the update to hit in about 4 months (as Sony could update the Z3, Z3 dual, Z3 compact, Z3 tablet compact, Z2 and Z2 tablet). However I do expect us to get the update in about 6 months.
They stated their aim a while back , I'll try and dig a link up later, to have it by the end of Q1 2015.
Probably they might need more time to re design everything to fit the material design.. Q1 2015 looks promising. Let see if they would make any announcement. :laugh: excited.
I just want Android L with Sony 4k camera and their noise reduction. That's it. Everything else should stay vanilla android L.
Till Sony officially releases I'll be using cm12 fosho, can't wait to try it out.
Lol cm12
Android Lolipop will no doubt be slighly aospish unless sony continue to get negative feedback about their new UI
IMO, (and before android L) our Z2 should now be running official 4.4.4 like other much older Z devices.
I only have my Z2 for like a week now, but i was chocked to see my syster old xperia ultra on official 4.4.4

There is hope

You're gonna be waiting a while
I have Lollipop on my Nexus 5 and my Nexus 7(2013), To be honest. I liked the look and feel of KitKat better.
This material design or whatever they call it feels just like they wanna look like windoz8.

actually i agree with you. "Played" a bit with Lollypop in Nexus 6 and 9 devices. Yes, it's nice, but i didn't feel that it's revolution as was advertised. There are new features of course, but seems that majority of them are interface design (material) changes.
So in general it seems an evolution to KitKat, like iOS 8 to iOS 7. But KitKat with xposed framework and a few other mods&tweaks, i reckon it can be as functional as Lollipop.
So no extra passion to get lollipop to tabz as soon as possible.

I agree as well, it seems Sony has decided to customise AOSP very minimally, so don't expect many differences between the Nexus 7 and the sony software

Do you realize you ressurected many different several month old threads?
Xperia Tablet Z forum is almost dead... nobody is craving for lollipop
So, WHERE IS OUR LOLLIPOP?????
Do you guys know if we can install the ota lollipop update if we have root? Or do we have to flash the full rom using emma?

Just wait for a Pre Rooted ROM
I guess we have to wait and see.
However, seeing that the OTA fails on rooted Nexus devices since 5.0.1 , I highly doubt you can OTA update other rooted devices above 5.0.1 either. So it'll probably be the good'ol "unroot, update, re-root"
But hey. I might be wrong.
As far as I can remember, there was no OTA for any of the previous versions for the Tablet Z. You have to update via their PC software, so it just sort of "dirty flashes" the system on top, overwriting your kernel and removing root that way.
So far I can see that Z3, Z3 compact, Z2, Z1 and Z1 compact got the update, so we're next

Android 6.0 Marshmallow released today, when will hit Xperia devices? | Xperia Blog
http://www.xperiablog.net/2015/10/0...-released-today-when-will-hit-xperia-devices/
What do you think? Which Xperia models will get it? Will The Z2 be included in the update list? If yes when will Sony roll out for us? Share your opinions.
If following prior logic proves to be correct
All Supported Xperia flagships all the way back to Z unless sony decide to drop Z1 and Z now.
I do really hope Z2 and Z5 Premium get it fast due to me having Z2 and planning to buy Z5 Premium
i hope same asap for z2
