Android 4.3 postponed to second week of january 2014

Hi all,
Today after chating with Hong Kong chat support they informed me that the upgrade process for Xperia SP,V and TX will be postponed to week 2 or 3 2014 as per picture below, but they didn't confirm if it is for all carriers or only at Hong Kong.

That's terrible news!

Ive asked the same question in holland and here Sony said:
No follow the care page; december 2013 is the time we get the update.

I asked the same question for germany they told me that it will be in december as per blogs.

Your screen print appears to be a load of made up tosh, if you actually read it, the operator offers the information without actually being asked the question.
Please leave making stuff up to those that are actually better at it.

I've asked the same question in China and here Sony said:
I dont know.:silly:

Taking his comment serious is absolute nonsense lol.
Why even care about the update? It's not gonna bring that much change. You guys should learn to have some patience
This update will come eventually, so does 4.4

The PS4 has nothing to do with the upcomming update. Ive reported this thread because we dont need a dozen threads about the upcomming update.
There is a news thread about this so continue the disussion in there

Please use the existing thread for 4.3 and 4.4 news HERE instead of creating a new thread.
Thanks

Official ETA for Lollipop by OPO

Hey friends,
We know there is a lot of excitement in the community surrounding the Lollipop updates for the One, and for good reason. We are just as excited as you are.
We never intended to keep you waiting. Unfortunately, we ran into some unexpected roadblocks. First, there was an unforeseen OS signing issue, which has recently been resolved. Our camera module had stability issues on Lollipop, and we had to rebuild it for compatibility. Several other crucial drivers, including our Wi-Fi drivers, also needed to be updated to work flawlessly with the upgrade. Admittedly, it took a little more time than we had planned, but we only release updates that we are proud of; that means refusing to take shortcuts or deliver sub-par experiences.
With all of that in mind, here are the official release dates for Android Lollipop on the OnePlus One:
CM 12S: The official OTA update for the OnePlus One will be released on or before March 30, 2015
OxygenOS: The official release of our own Lollipop-based ROM will be available for download on or before March 27, 2015
To show you how serious we are about this commitment to our community, we are prepared to put our money where our mouth is. If we miss either one of these deadlines, we will give away five (5) 64GB OnePlus One devices to our fans. Reply to this thread to be eligible.
It’s our little way of saying thank you for being patient and for joining us on our journey to create amazing, user-driven experiences.
Never Settle.

5.1 update should be darn close to rollout now!

Asus support has confirmed on the app that the Zenfone 2 5.1 update is under final testing phase.
Here is the Source.
So, it's reasonable to expect Asus to begin the rollout within a week or two. What do you think?

I hope so because 5.0 it's very buggy...

Why? There had been an update every couple weeks it seems. Is 5.1 really that big of any update that it would take so long to implement? Aren't the point releases just bug fixes?

It generally takes every oem six months on average to push a new version of Android. Granted, this phone has been on the market a while, but less than 2 months for the US versions.

I hope that the battery drain, and heating issue will be solved by asus in 5.1

cant wait for this to drop guys,

I hate to say this, but this post is referring to a blog where the guy speculates and provides a chat screen as proof. That being said, I am optimistic that Asus will update us to 5.1 shortly but posting fake reports does nothing but create false hope. The blog referred to is just that a blog and the proof it provides, is just a guy asking the question and we have no proof that the other side of the conversation is an actual employee of Asus tech support...
I think it will happen pretty soon but if it does not, I am completely fine with my phone the way it is currently, as I am sure most of you are too.

Never ever go by what some chat rep says lol. What makes anyone think they actually have any idea as to when testing is done and when OTA releases can be expected?

Agreed.

Asus provides a year or two of Android updates to its devices. We will get 5.1 eventually and even Android M when that drops. Past that, it's up to the community to develop.

Don't know whether Asus will really release the update or not but this hell made its way to a lot of reputed websites Even if it is not true , Asus would be pressurized to roll-out the update as these reputed websites posted this news

Yeah but those sites are just like our cable news channels.... Fox reports something then Cnn and Msnbc report what Fox reported. I just goes to show that people will report anything for the sake of reporting something.
I would also like to apologize to itskapil for my previous post. I did not mean to bash his reporting of the blog on our site but rather wanted to challenge the validity of the source, and that is all. I appreciated the reporting of any info on our phones.

6.0 in testing

Sony/E6853/E6853:6.0/32.1.A.0.X
Only a minor version change.

Do you mean Sony is testing Android 6.0 beta on Z5 series? If so, could you tell me how to get it?

Sony has 6.0 test builds already, operators should be getting them for acceptance tests.
I'm not personally testing them since I'm "stuck" with retails devices at the moment and no sorry I can't tell you how to get it.

I see. So do you think we will get "concept" version of 6.0 just like Z3 and Z3C soon?

I'm receiving an update now...don't know what it is yet!

Z5C was on 6.152 and as of yesterday is now on 6.200
My Z5P on 6.170, so the new update might be 6.200, putting everyone on the same version.

Check Sony's developer's website for instructions on how to unlock your BL and flash AOSP 6.0. I would just wait though. It's rumored to be officially released OTA in a month or two. Then you wouldn't need to lose your DRM keys.

I can see the binaries, is there an actual build that is flashable? I haven't seen one yet for my Z5P. I have 6.0 on another phone and would love to see a working build for this one. If you can point me toward the download, i would appreciate it.

Not that I know of. Just the binaries. You will have to build it on your own by following Sony's directions.

I think Sony may hold off and move to a once yearly now. There have been no substantial Z6 leaks and we usually see something within a month before MWC.

Huh? How do you come to that conclusion?
I guess the update will be with us either this month or next month. Either way we get it soon. The phone works fine ATM so there's no rush.

At this stage every year we usually see a leak of sufficient substance to show a phone will be released. So far nothing. All the leaks are just rumours.
Also at the start of last year Sony was asked whether they were going to move to yearly.... They said 'not yet' (the Z3+ then came out.)
If anything, the Z6 will be the same as the Z5 lineup with a change of SoC. Design change will be later in the year.

Any news? Does we get MM before or after MWC?

Z5 marshmallow update start rolling out

"Good news for xperia z5 owners"
Sony Xperia Z5*owners have a nice treat to wake up to this morning. The device is now getting Android 6.0 Marshmallow.
We should note that rollouts are only known to have begun in Turkey, and it’s not yet known when the rest of the world will get in on it. It’s also worth noting that the other variants in the Xperia Z5 family — the Xperia Z5 Compact and Premium — aren’t yet included in this round.
That said, it shouldn’t be long before more regions and more devices are hooked up, so be patient. As for those on Turkey with this phone, be sure to check for your new goods over-the-air.

As I said: no proof. Just read the "Z5 Marshmallow update" post and go a little backwards.

Transaction of above link
Good news comes from Turkey, namely the Facebook profile of the company. It appears that it started rolling out the Android 6.0 Marshmallow for the range Z5 . At the moment there seems to be a bit 'of traffic on servers but the OTA was sent and so it is only a matter of hours or at most a few days.
Turkey Sony also confirmed the update scheduled for February for Xperia Z2 also imagine for Z3 series. We'll see if after Turkey will follow European markets such as Italy

Fake
The source is a Sony Turkey fanpage, the first time that I've read this new was on January 21th. And I was verifying all days at XperiFirm without finding anything, so I dare to say that is a fake.

This info isn't from an official Sony Facebook page. It's a Turkish fanpage. Everyone can open a fanpage like this!
