The fact UK unbranded doesn't even have 253 yet makes me think we'll got straight 307.

[Xperia Z General] Hellscythe:
i noticed it doesn't have the 4.2.2 notification toggles? :S
[Xperia Z General] DoubleYouPee:
Doesn't seem like it but you can now choose which toggles you want and they included more
[Xperia Z General] ckyy:
It looks like it doesn't have the 4.2.2 toggles, but rather the oldschool ones that are on the notification bar.
[Xperia Z General] Andrewtst:
It don't have 4.2.2 style toggles but capable of customize up to 10 is enough for me. :)
[Xperia Z General] SWFlyerUK:
Is NFC in the toggles?

EDIT. Just seen it in the screen shot lol Oops.
[Xperia Z General] El.Guaje:
I think if Sony implement 2G/3G toggle, it will be good.
[Xperia Z General] Andrewtst:
They is a 4G toggle, but I never try it.
[Xperia Z General] adaa:
So will Sony release a 4.2.2 or just wait and go for 5.0?
[Xperia Z General] Michealtbh:
4.2.2 has already been leaked
[Xperia Z General] daniel.nguyen:
I've been waiting too long for it.I'm thinking about another phone for 4.2.3
[Xperia Z General] Michealtbh:
There won't be a 4.2.3, the next AOSP update will be 4.3
[Xperia Z General] sosoro:
Yes, will be 4.3 for the next flagship, but not for this..

A good programmer for Android (developer) is 5-10.000E/month, I think that is not a big cost for Sony.
[Xperia Z General] lukamus:
I got sick of waiting and installed a custom ROM (PA).
[Xperia Z General] Andrewtst:
If you want 4.2.2, why not just install the leak 4.2.2 stock ROM.

I have a feeling 4.2 will be rolling out this week. T-mobile should be announcing Xperia Z C6606 and 16 tomorrow. That is if all the rumors are true. :fingers-crossed:
[Xperia Z General] gbil:
Not this week for sure, maybe a small patch version will be tested first.
[Xperia Z General] LitoNi:
nuuuuu mr gbil!! within this month?
[Xperia Z General] sahinz:
i guess 4.2.2 will arrive to us next 3-4 months
[Xperia Z General] gbil:
Why not in 2014? :eek:

By the end of the month is a valid estimation.
[Xperia Z General] anirudhks:
Good observation :D .. Mr Gbil any comments on that please? :P:D:D:D
[Xperia Z General] LitoNi:
probably just some bug fixes. and maybe thats the reason why .407 was delayed. jumping straight to that? :D
[Xperia Z General] anirudhks:
yea , like Doomlord mentioned it was a browndevice , but all though you observe the Doomlord leaks has a lot Tmobile stuff so may be that leak was from the Tmobile handset and this one may be for the Global c6603

It looks like 10.3.A.0.423 will be released instead of 10.3.A.0.407
[Xperia Z General] Ame123:
Any update on whats coming?? As I think u are using the latest firmware
[Xperia Z General] DoubleYouPee:
What about ZL??
[Xperia Z General] mitsosoft:
ZL will also receive this update
[Xperia Z General] DoubleYouPee:
:good:, but not months after XZ I hope?
[Xperia Z General] Dsteppa:
Why are you people asking gbil such questions? You know that he's not allowed to say such things^^
[Xperia Z General] DoubleYouPee:
I know he can't give ETA's but all I wanna hear is that ZL won't be the new ION or xperia S ....
[Xperia Z General] mitsosoft:
Within the same time period
[Xperia Z General] gm007:
Do you know why UK unbranded get late updates?
[Xperia Z General] mitsosoft:
I have no idea m8. It's supposed to be the same fw with some UK customization's.
[Xperia Z General] op1op2:
looks great,hope to see soon
[Xperia Z General] gm007:
Bad luck it's on 434 still.
[Xperia Z General] :
hey there is somthing new in your version from the 407 version?
[Xperia Z General] gbil:
Nope, as I wrote is a small patch.
[Xperia Z General] :
oh ok didnt see thank you for the answer
[Xperia Z General] danw_oz:
Because they are a little slow in general in the UK :p so there is worry to overload them hahaha
[Xperia Z General] Haldi4803:
i truly hope so! 407 is fun for playing around with 4.2.2 .... but for daily usage? Burns your finger while web surfing, and getting wakelock on wifi.

I hope when sony releases their "Xperia Z Pure android" version they will start with bringing updates faster to XDA, so everyone who cares about updates can flash it on their phone.
[Xperia Z General] lysp:
Found a reference to this link on another forum:

http://crowdsupport.telstra.com.au/t5/Device-Updates/Handset-updates-17-June/td-p/164626

(Telstra is Australia's main/largest phone provider)

Handset : Sony Xperia z

Update : Android 4.2.2 ‘Jelly Bean Plus’ update

Status : First round testing

Expected test rounds : 1

Expected approval date : 1/07/2013

Expected customer availability date : 15/07/2013

Notes : Update received 14 June and in test
[Xperia Z General] magikmichael:
Hope so.... Seems not to far away then.
[Xperia Z General] Dsteppa:
Not so far? Still a month away
[Xperia Z General] lysp:
A month away for one of the lesser markets.

Assuming the main countries get the release before Australia, then you'd assume it'd be 1-2 weeks at the most.
[Xperia Z General] :
he said its the biggest company in australia so they need to custom it too with their own apps and stuff so stock users will get it befor 15.7 i think
[Xperia Z General] DoubleYouPee:
Well I wonder why they can have an estimated release date while no one else can...
[Xperia Z General] gbil:
Telstra indeed has a customized version. Those versions usually take longer to release.
[Xperia Z General] Sticky F:
I'm still waiting for the 257 update so I guess 4.2.2 will arrive sometime in the Autumn :D
[Xperia Z General] rahul.kapoor:
An unofficial version of the Xperia Z Android 4.2.2, JellyBean update began rolling out this week.

The firmware is now available for the smartphone, according to Xperia blog. However, it is only compatible with devices that come with unlocked bootloaders.

The developer of the ROM has issued a warning to not install the software on the Xperia ZL, Xperia Tablet Z, or any other handset at this time.

Sony will release an Android 4.2.2, JellyBean powered Google Edition version of the Xperia Z smartphone in the near future. The device could feature Android 4.3, if Google launches the software before this new variant of the Xperia Z is released.

[Xperia Z General] cnrdweise:
i just got my z two days ago. Is there a official blog, where they announce the updates? Or is there already a date named from sony? Thanks guys!
[Xperia Z General] El.Guaje:
Why?

Mine is C6602. When in WCDMA(Pre)/GSM mode, sometimes my phone can not send message properly... so I switch to GSM mode only and it works fine, another problem is when I'm in WCDMA(pre)/GSM mode, I can not get H+ signal so I have to choose only WCDMA mode . So that's why I and somebody need 2/3G toogle.
[Xperia Z General] Andrewtst:
For me direct as at setting much easier than toggle as need click few times + I seldom change also.

That means that sony is a s***t

How can they release it for ZL before Z?
[Xperia Z General] DoubleYouPee:
Muahaha!! how does it feel?

Just kidding.. but what's so weird about it? For me ZL is just as high-end as Z...

Also, this really gives me more trust in Sony.. seeing they're not forgetting about devices other than their #1 device
[Xperia Z General] beni8978:
ZL can never be so high end like Z because Z is the flagship.

◇C6603
[Xperia Z General] Maximus999:
I don't think a few days makes a difference to your life.

Also, there are fewer variations of ZL which makes a release easier than for Z which is a WW phone.
[Xperia Z General] DoubleYouPee:
I think it won't be more than 3 days if it's released for ZL

[Xperia Z General] bigbamboo5:
Stupid question, I know - will this come to all phones direct from Sony, or is it network dependent in some way. (Will it need to be flashed, or whatever?)
[Xperia Z General] Smartphoner:
Region dependent, u can flash if u want if the ftf is available.
[Xperia Z General] long2905:
most of the time you can flash a unbranded ftf right here from other generous members of XDA so that's not really an issue.
[Xperia Z General] bigbamboo5:
Thanks! I've just flashed to Voda UK .307 from here. Do I just do the same when 4.2.2 arrives and is put up in the forum? In the same way?
[Xperia Z General] long2905:
pretty much yeah, unless they make some drastic change to how the flashing process works, which is extremely unlikely.
[Xperia Z General] Aresmar:
from 4.2.2 notes:

– Support for bigger (64GB) SD card so that you can store even more on your Xperia

What the? I am already using a 64gb card??? oO
[Xperia Z General] naphets8:
Root + mod?

I got the feeling that there will be some nervous people waiting for root for new firmware.

Sony is making funny things... :p

Still better than the nice joke with the x10. There were like " we will not update it to gingerbread..." and some time later " the work on the new 2011 devices made it us possible to update to 2.3 ... " and there was absolutely no pressure from the customers :rolleyes:

sony never made any official announcement on paper that the Z or ZL supports 64gb SD cards.

I guess this update makes it official, better performance even though the previous software supports it.

[Xperia Z General] slim207rc:
I've had the x10, the play, the S, the T and now the Z and it's always the exact same thing. Sony can't get their act together when it comes to treating their flagships.

Why the hell are there flagships, when they're left out in the rain the whole time?

C'mon:banghead:
[Xperia Z General] thalada:
We already have the leaked version to play with until the official one gets released.
[Xperia Z General] cordonbleu:
At least the Z is waterproof, so the rain won't harm it :silly:

ZL is almost the same as Z when it comes to software, so the update for Z won't take much longer than few days to reach us I think.
[Xperia Z General] slim207rc:
Hopefully, seeing to it that the update was "supposed" to roll out just after release.

Google is planning the 4.3 rollout. Curios how that will work out for us. Just disappointed because Sony's method hasn't changed a bit over the last years.:(

maybe you are right...but no one will give his money unlike to wait a little more....so the best cure is to be patient and eventually the z will take the leads again....for example like galaxy s4 camera features....
[Xperia Z General] Ambroos:
ZL has less variants so it's probably a bit easier to just release a whole set of unbranded firmwares for it. Some Z variants might take a little bit longer to get certified/approved and they prefer rolling out bigger sets variants at once.

Xperia Z .407 v/s Xperia ZL .423 camera comparison.

Mode: Superior Auto

Scenario: Low Light Indoor

Winner: Xperia ZL .423, it is clear obvious .423 superior auto mode is sharp and no noise.

Xperia ZL .423 firmware

Xperia Z .407 firmware
[Xperia Z General] marvelboy:
just wait be patient for the official release....and after check the noise
[Xperia Z General] Hellscythe:
.423 is the one the will be rolling out soon for the Z right?
[Xperia Z General] RoberM:
Yes.
[Xperia Z General] Mambobuzzz:
Damn, those last pages were just funny. :D ZL is as much a flagship as Z is... The hardware as Z, but IR receiver, dedicated camera button, larger battery, better screen is some cases. Just losing this useless submarine certifications. Z was first on previous fw releases, now ZL is first. That's all !
[Xperia Z General] Vaith:
Are you from Sony? Last sentence sounds like you are working there.

[Xperia Z General] Mambobuzzz:
Hu, no. Just seeing facts...
[Xperia Z General] Ambroos:
If you want quality much better than that for a photo that was taken indoors you'll have to switch to an APS-C camera. (= DSLR or MILC)
[Xperia Z General] :
im not looking for dslr quailty or something like that but im comparing it to the galaxy s4 photo quailty and the s4 still got better pictures

better colors and sharper
[Xperia Z General] scorpi786:
I agree and S4 has zero shutter lag, the hardware is upto the job as the S4 uses the same sensor as the XZ it's just sony's piss poor software.
[Xperia Z General] levz:
Dude hes refering to the .423 Zl 4.2 and Z's leak 403. Definitely better photo than previous firmware.You shld understand also out of the box S4 is released 4.2.2 and Z is 4.1.2. Also i have to admit out of the box S4 is better.
[Xperia Z General] MafiaManV:
nhf, but are you blind? Check the background noise...
[Xperia Z General] zodiac100:
S4's software has a lot of customisation and tweaking from Samsung. Sony's rom is a near stock experience so to come 40 to 50 days after Samsung isn't really good is it.
[Xperia Z General] amfirbek92:
U are right..i agree..Samsung has a better programming team..but I said this year the dev team seems better than the last one..it was too bad with the xperia S..remember ics with xperia S was too buggy so that it could even beat s2 in smothness..then dont forget s4 took 2months to be announced later than the Z was available in market..and I personnally dont give importance for such customization : smart eye..and samsung stuff play store is full of such stuff but u cant find a waterproof app here ;)..i look into the smoothness of the phone..Z has less hardware performance than the s4 and I used both phone and I approve Z is smoother and cooler when extremely used ;) Look at this screenshot..

u will never read such number for up time with a samsung device..i've never turned it off after .307 flash and it still super smooth mashaAllah ;)

Now just I hope a better wifi signal with 4.2.2 and a bug fix for wifi when my MW600 is connected..
[Xperia Z General] Andrewtst:
Same?

I can only conclude you are blind....

The .407 is badly noise but it is clear in latest .423 firmware.
[Xperia Z General] Ereckson:
Samsung uses a lot of image correction.. They've got some good algorithms at play.... S4 images look great but they're not realistic.. Saturated colors is as good as using Photoshop..
[Xperia Z General] OsiBasi:
I think we all know that all pictures taken can be fixed with ps, but it takes time, I'd rather have the Z taking fake good looking pics than the pics we've got now. Though I like the camera we've got now, but I'd rather just take the shot, upload/ send instead of rerendering it with apps etc. There should always be a "natural mode" but really if you were THAT interested in true pics, you would've gotten one of them Canon cameras.

Tldr; I like my leaves overly green, and the dark free of noise.
[Xperia Z General] juanmaasecas:
.407 -> More noise, more detail

.423 -> Less noise, less detail

Same than old firms:

.350/.434 -> Less noise, less detail

.253 -> More noise/ more detail

.307 -> Less noise at high ISO (and less detail), but more detail in good light conditions.

I prefer better .407 than .423. I prefer a "pure" picture, not an overproccessed one. If I need to reduce noise, I can do it better with my PC.
[Xperia Z General] Andrewtst:
Too many noise affecting overall details.

My opinion.

.434 - over processing, failure output.

.253 - well processing when using SCN mode. Auto superior generate too many noise.

.307 - slightly improvement over .253 firmware.

.407 - SCN mode sometimes generate too much noise.

.423 - The best so far, even auto superior is working perfectly this time.
[Xperia Z General] Geoffxx:
come on guys, this is not hard to figure out

the reason they have delayed the Z update is because it was discovered it weakens the waterproof protection, so further modification was required, in fact I've heard that it may be delayed until 4.3 which is months away

think about it - the ZL gets the update first because it doesn't have this complication

keep the feet for dancing :cowboy:
