Still patiently waiting for mine from Bell Canada.....
[Sony Xperia ZL] Crash338:
From Bell Canada???

If you are using a carrier branded phone and are waiting behind PC Companion for the update.... you will be waiting a while. It could take Bell months before they decide to push out an update. If your phone is unbranded and flashed with a Sony generic firmware then you will get the update.

Bell will take Sony's update and will customize the update with their bloatware first then they will push it out...You could be waiting forever.

Just saying..... :o
[Sony Xperia ZL] unmaskedfalesh:
:mad:Still Nothing for 6502 India...:mad:

I guess Sony is telling people never buy device other than Flagship or you will wait forever for updates

[Sony Xperia ZL] Crash338:
Sony is like Santa Clause. They are going from country to country and have until 5am to deliver their present. Just make sure to leave the milk and cookies on the coffee table. :fingers-crossed:

Seriously guys, the update is getting pushed, just have to have a bit of patience. I'm assuming that if they push the update at the same time for everyone, it will just kill their bandwidth. The update is like 800MB x 1 billion people downloading it at the same time.

Now that being said.....Where's my update in Canada for the C6506!!! :angel:

so now have to wait till 10.4.B.0.569 kernel to be available...to root it later:D

Hey brother , I from India too and I have been waiting for this one from more than a month or so .Happy that atleast now its availabe through SUS .

But i dont have access to my PC so i will have to wait for OTA .

Meanwhile can you please share with us about how you feel about 4.3.

I was also wondering as now we have update availabel by SUS ,how long it would take for OTA to pop up ...
[Sony Xperia ZL] unmaskedfalesh:
been not to long but cant say its much of a update...though

here is what i feel(personally)

1.The phone seems faster and UI is smooth

2.The settings got white UI

3.Rearranged settings menu

4.Xperia Themes which is not working in my case(Says incompatible with my device , dont know ...if z can use it y cant ZL??)

5.New battery indicator looks kinda big...and no more clock at notification bar in lockscreen

6.new keyboard feels kinda iphone type

7.new touch sound didnot like it

8.New Home screen (swipe to get menu)

rest same....old 4.2.2....i wil let you know if found anything incase you dont get update...

[Sony Xperia ZL] Kotin89:
Thanks for the update bro ,

I was pretty excited about themes but too bad that its aint working fine , i dont understand why Sony has this dual standards .

New themes are freaking awesome :P antutu 22000. Freakishly smooth ui. Camera was better earlier. Though the are new features now quality is not good as before.keyboard is overhauled. Fantastic predictions. Battery standby is good. Best update so far. Was worth the wait.
[Sony Xperia ZL] fr4nk32:
mmm... see the date when the post was created, there wasn't oficial 4.3 for XZL; i had seen that post when the leaked rom came out, so i think it is based on the leaked one and no in the official...

FULL REVIEW Update 4.2 to 4.3

FULL REVIEW

Xperia ZL - C6502

Update 4.2 to 4.3

THE GOOD

Faster performance , smooth transitions

Camera app has ample features now ... feels like having a Flagship now finally

Ability to add new xperia themes ... awesome ...:smileywin:

Much better WIFI reception

More organized Settings section and few more options .

Battery - found it better (still yet to be fully tested)

Ability to add more than one small app at a time

The Bad

Less ram available for me after boot

Camera app - Superior auto mode - limited to 9mp now :smileysad:

Camera app - Little better quality in 4.2

The BUGS

Video Stabilization bug cofirmed

Unstable Wifi at times

The on screen buttons no longs disappears in few games

Offset label while uninstallng apps

More bugs will be updated here (NFC - not yet tried , Battery backup will be observed for a couple of days)

OVERALL A WORTHY UPDATE .... HATS OFF TO SONY FOR GOOD WORK :smileyhappy:
[Sony Xperia ZL] swooc:
just updated to 4.3. here are some camera samples from 4.2.2 and 4.3 for comparison. the image quality is only slighty better (negligible imo) with less artifacts shown on photos taken on 4.3.

on another note, i feel like the UI is less smooth compared to 4.2.2. very noticeable in the keyboard settings. another change are chamfer corners. sound recorder is also installed on mine (i did a complete re-flash). overall i prefer 4.2.2.

i'm currently uploading the generic sg version. it won't be ready until at least a few hours time (my upload connection is capped at 0.5mbps). but will make a post if there isn't already an available link for it.

4.2.2 - Manual Mode

4.3 - Manual Mode

4.2.2 - Burst Mode

4.3 - Burst Mode

3. If all applications are closed Ram memory shows only 38% used

4. Application Menu looks good.

5. Good Keyboard layout. (actually it looks copy of iPhone ios7 keyboard)

6. Settings UI (Again Copy of IOS7)

Cons.

1. No Great Themes. just ok

2. New Messages UI

3. New Touch sound not good.

if I find more pros and cons will post here.

Thanks.

The version I'd been using was the 6503 Commercial and Journalists version... with the 6506 Commercial and Journalists Kernel and baseband - I'm not certain I'd classify this as the final release version... but it is a .569 version

[Sony Xperia ZL] DoubleYouPee:

IMO updating your websites that 4.3 has released /= update is actually released!

And 4.3 is already outdated... Sony better hurry with 4.4.
[Sony Xperia ZL] kyddox:
I think it is important to note that this method still works only with unlockable bootloaders, here are some users like me with bootloader unlock allowed no :(
[Sony Xperia ZL] scifan:
Did you try nut's method where you flash a zip with your rooted file system, and then flash just the kernel from 4.3 to upgrade?
[Sony Xperia ZL] iPeck:
Simple question : since 4.4 was made originally to unify all the android versions out there (so that even weaker phones can run it), is it OK to think that this super phone will get it ? I think so, yes... Somewhere in time ! Lol

And btw, 4.3 is running like pure blazing butter. Loving it. Can't wait for kitkat ! ;)

[Sony Xperia ZL] scifan:

The gist of what Nut's root method is that you're leveraging having a non-stock recovery to install a rooted image, then you flash the updated kernel via flashtool, then install a non-stock recovery once again...

^you can always install the many other region generic firmwares that are currently available. only downside is that you'll have to root your phone to change your customisation number to upgrade or do a complete wipe for a fresh install.

Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] jam90:
as far as i know, skype is compatible with every rom, custom or kitchen...anyway, i suggest you to install 2 specifics roms, depends of what do you need:

1) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2482038 if you want to keep updated with the last versions of android (kit kat isn't so stable, nowdays). This is based on android 4.3.1, it's for daily usage, stable, smooth and very good battery drain. Anyway it's not a finished version, so it will be need for updates sometimes (p.s. i have this rom with skype perfectly working)

2) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1990795 if you want a complete rom, with no bugs and completely updated, when you flash it that's it, no updates more. This too is stable, smooth and has a very good battery drain, the only difference with the previous rom that i said is that it's based on android 4.1.2 and it need no more updates. (p.p.s before of the 4.3.1, i had this rom, and skype was working as well as on the 4.3.1)

so choose one and enjoy your galaxy wonder
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] miiechy:
I've used almost all custom roms and with all of them skype crashed when I leave it (not close it). Now I'm using EHNDROIX III because some people said that it's one of the most stable (and REMICS too), but it's slow.

I'll follow your advice, thanks! If I have any problem, I'll post it here.
