"to be fair vodafone have been quite good with their branded version, you can hardly tell, but still when update time rolls around i need to be on generic"

I posted this shorty after getting my phone and flashing the generic firmware, I would have thought there was no chance in hell of vodafone ever releasing an update before generic, I really shouldnt be left red faced but I am. Do you think this is Sony giving the finger to the people that flash off the branded firmware for this reason...?
[Xperia Z General] karahasan:
I've already tried searching for it, but has someone uploaded the Vodafone ROM for the XZ somewhere?

[Xperia Z General] nardvrnza:
Australia Unbranded Confirmed

I've managed to update to the 10.1.1.A.1.253 firmware.

I can say, comparing with my girlfriend's non-updated Xperia Z, there are better colours, and the blacks are more darker & deep. Camera app starts slightly quicker and the images are much more clearer. I think they changed the way pictures are post-processed after taking a shot, much better in my opinion. And I have no idea how the managed to improve the viewing angles and it is noticeable, comparing between my girlfriend's and mine. Also the overall launcher/home screen is much smoother and less laggy. OH! and another good thing is that they've managed to fix the notification led not working in stamina mode, it works fine now and you have the option to turn it off in the display settings.

I'd like to mention though, only I was able to update to .253 through PC Companion (Sony Bridge for Mac) and not my girlfriend. I think it's because I flashed my Xperia Z to an unbranded AUS stock rom and she's still with the Optus's stock rom, that's the only reason why I think she's unable to get it yet, gonna try flash hers to the .434 AU Unbranded and see what happens.

Also, I can confirm you lose root access when updating firmware.

Still no Update for unbranded german. Shame on you, SONY!!!

EDIT: just checked again, still showing for me ?!?!? WTF ?!?!

EDIT: Checked version I'm running, GLOBAL-LTE_10.1.A.1.434 customization version 1270-4975-r8a
[Xperia Z General] tonylee2000:
I struggle to understand why, in the case of this particular update at least, it makes any difference what network you are on. From what I can tell, this update is specific to the XZ and some bug resolution issues/performance improvements. It has nothing to do with connectivity and the update is being rolled out by Sony through PC so it should not touch the network provider. Weird!
[Xperia Z General] xfile087:
Unbranded UK here also, EE sim and no update found

UPDATE: My version is GLOBAL-LTE_10.1.A.1.434 with customisation 1270-7689-R14A

Morning all,

After being unable to connect last night I’m now just sitting here watching my phone update!! And thought while I’m waiting for my phone to receive its update I’d update the front page. Anyone got additions / amendments to make?
[Xperia Z General] pascalbrax:
Sweden, Update is available on PCC.
[Xperia Z General] TLLmeister:
In Germany still ... nothing. ^^
[Xperia Z General] LBTaylor1984:
Just checked out my version

I'm on;

EE network

FS Ver: GLOBAL-LTE-10.1.A.1.434

Still no update
[Xperia Z General] pascalbrax:
This is the firmware I was using.
[Xperia Z General] LBTaylor1984:
our customisation numbers are different i'm 14 your 5 ? I wonder what this means?
[Xperia Z General] deffjeff:
Got mine last evening, in Sweden. However was a unbranded XZ purchased in Germany, being used here on Telia.

Still not a sausage here... UK unbranded
[Xperia Z General] krisbi:
Nothing here too.. In Malta but Uk unbranded phone. Update server is currently down.. perhaps they are putting on the update, who knows? Is the server down too at your end( UK unbranded users) ?
[Xperia Z General] pascalbrax:
Maybe because I bought my phone in Switzerland with Swisscom/Vodafone branded firmware and then replaced it with Sweden Unbranded?

Here's my updated Info screen:
[Xperia Z General] Mastrox:
I flashed a generico nordic 434 and after that PCC find me the update in one second...

As many said, it seems a great update...
[Xperia Z General] dante2086:
But I thought it impossible, for software to improve viewing angles?
[Xperia Z General] pascalbrax:
Viewing angle is not an issue for me. I'm glad people around me cannot clearly see what I'm doing on my phone.
[Xperia Z General] deffjeff:
Here you go! :cowboy:
[Xperia Z General] pacoxixon:
Mine is the same, and no updates...:(
[Xperia Z General] pascalbrax:
Wow, yet another different customization version! :)

Thanks.

According to this (it's still up do date?) your CV is the same as Australia...
[Xperia Z General] dante2086:
Not an issue for me either. I'm just stumped at how they did it.

The SI number is on your box, not sure how it compares to the customisation number.

But basically, it won't matter what is on the box, it will actually be down to the software on your phone and the customisation number.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duelpro2:
So I have a Samsung i9000 and when I install clockwork mod recovery from the ROM manager app it doesn't let me boot into it and just takes to the stock recovery and when I try to install it from the stock recovery it say "whole file signature not found" and aborts the operation so what do I need to do to install clock work mod recovery? I want this so I can install a custom ROM to my phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] compacity:
Fpnd cf root and flash it from odin
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soryuu:
To answer your question, yes it does. Custom recoveries rely on custom kernels.

Easiest one for Gingerbread is CF-Root, as compacity suggested. Not too many mods and incredibly quick to apply.

Hello everybody! I own a sgs4 which is rooted and it is running the MDM version and everything was running fine. But since today i am not able to open the s-health app.

Did you missed the interface of the stock GB camera(and his option to chose MACRO MODE) in ICS(modded to have 100% jpg compression)?

That's the solution(tested workin in .587 and .13 firmware)it should works on all HDPI 2011 xperia lineup(Ray,Arc,Arc-s,Neo)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] regP:
Edit:

SOLUTION:

Go into Advanced wifi settings and disable WiFi Optimization. It appears that the function disrupts the WiFi connection which disrupts the upload. The tradeoff of disabling it is your phone uses more battery while idle on wifi so I make sure I only disable it before bed and re-enable it when I wake up and the upload is done.

Edit:

SOLUTION 2:

I read somewhere on Reddit to take note of which app the upload fails at. Delete the backup of that app and manually make a new backup. After that it should sync fine. I've tired this and so far uploads to Dropbox and gdrive have been completing successfully.

So for the last few months every time I try to sync TB with Dropbox, box, or drive it immediately fails with the message "Upload Failed: Network Error". This happens on every wifi network I've tried. Been searching the Googles for a good while and See other people are having the same issue. Someone suggested that it fails because of apps that exceed like 180mb in size. I have since excluded those apps from the backup but still no deal.. Has this issue been resolved yet? I figured it would fix itself but it's been months and I'm becoming frustrated.[/QUOTE]
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] regP:
Anyone?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
It's possible that your Titanium Backup file exceeds the amount of space available in your Dropbox account or your Dropbox upload limit.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] regP:
Nope I have plenty of free space in drive, Dropbox, and box.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
Did you try uninstalling and reinstalling the app or clearing the apps cache and data?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] regP:
More times than I can count. This has been an issue for months now. Started on my last phone. When the problem persists over multiple devices, multiple ROMs, and multiple installs I can't help but believe it's the app. Especially since I'm not the only one experiencing this.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] regP:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trickinit:
I've been having trouble with this too, but only since I got my new HTC One a few weeks ago. Before that, it always worked fine with my Galaxy S3. I have yet to complete a full sync with my One.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] regP:
So frustrating and there seems to be no fix.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hgoldner:
I have encountered this from time to time on all 4 Android devices I have used. Sometimes it's just a network timeout, and rerunning the backup (sometimes multiple times) usually fixes it. Other times it may be a particular file that kills the process. The problem is that the app messages disappear when you try to access them.

Generally, at least for me, eliminating the offending file, either through labels or deleting it (if it is defective or doesn't belong in the backup directory, and happened to have been saved there).

If there is a TitaniumBackup log, I haven't found it, and I don't know whether or not the logcat would reveal anything.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamflamez:
It is annoying that we are unable to access the error notification as well, anyway

i followed the advice from the guy above saying keep rerunning it multiple times, and it does it bit by bit so have got there in the end, thanks to good ole XDA forums :)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] helix031:
asked on 9500 forum also... ATT part might be better off in here

________________________________________________________________________________

still mid searching but had some specifics regarding my situation that might not be found via search or have been covered.

if they have, please point me in the right direction.

ATT user

Grandfathered data plan at 25 bucks unlimited (non LTE)

Currently using international 9100 S2 with no issues with data or plans being changed or updated (getting HSPA+ speeds)

Question 1: Will dropping my sim into these phone(s) work with my grandfathered data plan and what kind of data speeds should I expect? HSPA+? LTE? or should I just buy a carrier pigeon? ------

Question 2: How about buying an ATT phone? Ive heard my plans haven't been touched or modified due to my phones IMEI not being in their system since its from Venezuela or something like that. Does that theory hold water?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Baldilocks:
You will get HSPA+ and it won't change your data plan.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] helix031:

Good day to all,

I am just checking to see the full flexibility of the S4 in terms of development.

I'm looking over the specs on all of the different variations that are out for the S4.. a little more then called for.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S4

From my point of view.. the GT-I9505, SGH-I337, SGH-M919 are basicly the same.. only huge difference is the i9505 LTE bands compared to the M919 and I337.

I know if i flash the wrong kernel or mod, it can, and most likely would brick the phone..

i'm not smoking crack here.. but is it possible.. is there a way to use a I337 mod/kernel and flash over .. i guess the radio for the m919?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gypsy214:
You probably cab but it will probably have bugs. For instance. On my s3 I can flash kernels from any other carriers and if I do sprint I get rotarion issues.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordcheeto03:
You can flash the ROMs for other models no problem as long as you flash a kernel made specifically for your device. I haven't experimented with kernels for other devices, but I can say that I have made the mistake of flashing both AT&T ROMs and i9505 ROMs and forgot to flash a TMO kernel and all I got was a nice failure to boot after the initial Galaxy S4 splash screen. Can't speak for the other carriers, but I just make it a point to flash KT kernel for the TMO device with each ROM I flash given the problems I've encountered with AT&T and i9505's models.
