[Sony Xperia L] honglong:
The updates are pretty poor and communication from Sony is awful. Why they choose to update Xperia M (underspec'd compared to the L) is beyond me. But then again, they released 4.4 ASOP for L. Maybe if they release a fully functional generic 4.4 ASOP that would heal the wound :)
[Sony Xperia L] XperiaAwesome2000:
That i dont Understand too, the Xperia M is in every point a much worser Phone than our XPERIA L , why give Sony it an update , we only have an Buggy vesion of 4.2 .B ut your point sounds interresting, Almost all devices from Sony that had become AOSP (except xperia s), became the Update to the Specific

Version from Sony

-Sorry for My English
[Sony Xperia L] honglong:
I would be happy with 4.4 ASOP without any Sony Junk if Sony can't be bothered to release 4.3

It's not great customer service and it means a very good phone won't become updated and I won't buy Sony again. If they plan to update say so, if it's end of life. Say so.

I have a feeling they will do nothing, wait till 18 months support period has expired then drop it.
[Sony Xperia L] XperiaAwesome2000:
Our phone had been added to the AOSP project months ago but only for unlocked bootloaders, and i hope sony will do something and update our because we spent more money on a better phone and we only get 4.2 if we dont get 4.3/4.4 that would be silly
[Sony Xperia L] RabbiShe:
Could you explain what that is? Is it some official kitkat rom for xperia l?
[Sony Xperia L] id202:
Actually I am almost sure for two things:

Sorry won't release anything more for that expensive brick, because it looks for me that there is more hardware issues and maybe lack of drivers from Qualcomm. Also keep in mind crappy cameras (both of them are awful), totally bad touchscreen and most awful brand - they became more "stay away brand" than chinese ZTE and Huawei brands, which these days here are considered as OK here ...

Personally my Xperia L would not survive to the end of warranty - either it will be sold on half of it's price or will be killed - today it flied ~6 times to the floor,because 9 times sound got routed to earpiece instead of speaker.

Generally this Sony are scammers these days and should not be trusted for anything. Btw this was my last product from Sony - they are gone in my blacklist like HP and Nokia.... got very bad experience with these brands and will never come back to them.
[Sony Xperia L] XperiaAwesome2000:
Okay at the Moment i have no issues with the camera and the Touchscreen maybe i have chosen a good modell of the L, but you are right if Sony wouldnt make updates fort this phone they would become a stay away brand and at the moment Sony must work harder on Updates because they have not much money at the time and that is the Problem of Sony they release too much phones and gave no Updates other brands like Samsung gave the S2 4.1 and at this time the s2 was 2 years old and the arc s Sonys Flagship at the Time never saw 4.1

PS I really like Sony they made good and Products but Support on the Phones they make is really bad
[Sony Xperia L] Hnk1:
I'll explain you some facts!

If you look at xperia U and Xperia L, they both were updated for about a year. The number of updates for xperia U only means, developers were lazy to fix bugs so they had to push more small patches to fix the bugs!

If you still want to question, xperia L has a month left in comparison to xperia U, I'll like you not to overlook x.x.x.17 update which isn't mentioned in the image!

About xperia M got 4.3 and not xperia L, the reason is that xperia M was released few months after xperia L; thus the support for one year meant, it had to be updated till 4.3 but xperia L had completed its one year when the time to update lower end devices came!

If you are wondering, if we would get 4.4 or 4.3 , it is highly UNLIKELY! Don't put your hopes too high!

The reason why source for 4.4 was released, it was only to shut mouth of xperia L owners so it could seem, Sony is working on 4.4 for xperia L and in the mean time, the time frame of one year of update could pass! 4.4 was supposingly in works for xperia L until, Sony decided to ditch it and released buggy 4.4 so it could work on new devices which were released by Sony like M2, T3 etc.

I hope this enlightenment would be enough for you all!
[Sony Xperia L] RabbiShe:
So the dream is dead. There is no hope for the humanity after all.
[Sony Xperia L] Lazynestor:
Its hopeless waiting for 4.3......i think sony wont even update xperia L...... The best way is to unlock bootloader, root and install a new rom....

M done waiting!!!!!!

Please do hit the 10xxx button!!!
[Sony Xperia L] XperiaAwesome2000:
I Think you all are right sony is an A++hole when it comes to updates but a little chance is there and i hope sony is doing something at the moment
[Sony Xperia L] RabbiShe:
Will there be unofficial android L for experia L? I am afraid of losing my warranty however.
[Sony Xperia L] Emannxx:
The problem, in my opinion, is that there are tons of people which cannot unlock their bootloader (like me) due to carrier restrictions. We are stuck with stock pretty much forever. And it sucks.
[Sony Xperia L] Mystery000777:
True Story

True ****in story. I spent a ****load of money on this rock and now i cant even flash a custom decent rom, not to talk about the ****tiest stock kernel i've seen in a phone. **** you Sony, **** you carriers and **** you overpriced phones. I bough this for 200 euros and my carrier is asking me 50 more to unlock the carrier status so that i could be able to go to sony and unlock the bootloader. Tell me if this isnt a joke! And remember, its not 250 bucks, its 250 euros, about 340 bucks! WTF???

With this ammount of money i should have bought a nexus 5 and i wouldnt have to care about this problems. never buying a phone in my country again.

Good luck for you guys and i wish the best to all unlocked bootloader. Im seriously thinking about selling my phone if i dont get a proper update.

If sony can afford making phones, they should also be able to give them proper technical support...

Yeha but they all are based on Stock and Stock is not that good ;)

I dont say the roms based on Stock are bad but the Stock 4.2.2 is too buggy

Today's answer from Sorry mobile Bulgaria

Boys and girls (of course!)

Today I have contacted Sorry mobile Bulgaria regarding bug fixing update (I did not pretend for 4.3 or 4.4 - just a bug fixing update, whatever version of Android they want to release) and there was short answer - There is no known date from Sony mobile for update of Xperia L, and there is no known update to come. Rest of message was their usual "Sorry for you troubles, please repair via SUS" and other blah-blah stuff.

Whole Question and answer is in txt file in attachment. If you want to know whole question and answer - feel free to use Google/Bing translate services from Bulgarian....
[Sony Xperia L] id202:
If they produce 3 phones in year and focus on their support for a longer time than release date + 3 months, probably they would get more users, respect from them and of course - more profit. With their policy to release bunch of garbage every month, they won't get any new customers and they are already on path to lose their old customers. I am personally one of big count of users which will never come back to SoRRy - there is simple explanation: New Xperia L on store are sold for 345BGN without contract, Xperia L sold on second hand sites with ~1 year and more warranty left is sold at 180-200BGN. My 4 years old HTC Desire on same second hand sites costs 100-180BGN depending on how it looks. BGN - stands fro New Bulgarian Leva (I am Bulgarian).
[Sony Xperia L] uremytoy:
Ur buying mid/low end Phone and u expect 5years support. On what world are u living. And yet u cry u will never buy sony Phone... Go buy Z and then u will have updates

Wysłane z mojego C2105 przy użyciu Tapatalka
[Sony Xperia L] id202:
Actually if phone is working fine, there will be no cries. I am sure that Z won't be better built than L, M, T and so on. If you take a look over forums here and Xperia (don't) Care - you will see that on Z's have very serious bugs too. It is a problem of a brand - when it is a Sony-Something - product is well looking because of Sony and well working because of Something. When Something is gone - there are left one well looking crap. For example - look what happened with Sony-Ericsson, Sony-NEC DVD Drives .... Just they are missing care for customers which slowly will force them to get in same corner as Nokia, RIM, HP's iPAQ subsidiary and maybe more ...
[Sony Xperia L] frothe3:
I agree, so true.
[Sony Xperia L] Mystery000777:
What petition? I have decided what i'm gonna do. Tomorrow or something i'm going to sony headquarters in my country and ask them to unlock

my bootloader without carrier unlock to see if it is possible. and if it isnt then **** it.

I have flashed the latest update .17 and honestly it is smooth and all that, but to know that my phone scores ~10500 on antutu benchmark and AOSP based roms can get up to 15000 without any tweaking is awfull.

Seriously guys, check some Original Android roms and tell me you prefer stock sony... The optimizations and control you have over your own phone are the best.

I like stock but this is something we have the right to complain for, after all we paid our phones...

BTW honglonh, tell me about that petition
[Sony Xperia L] itsjustJOH:

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] goralpm:
Hi

How to turn off push notifications in xperia T?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Mad Marty:
In the appropriate app/settings? This has nothing to do with the device, but rather the app that sends push notifications. And since you didn't mention which app you want to stop sending push, we can't be more specific than this...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
You could also go for the brute force way and disable Google Services Framework and Google Play Services. :D

But.. No Play Store after, so not a that good idea. ^^
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Antiga Prime:
Might work for some apps, but I know that it doesn't work for WhatsApp. I usually have them disabled and enable them only to access the Play Store. Best option is to configure each app as stated above.

Useless thread, since S-Voice doesn't work on the Nexus 5. Why don't you post on the Note 2 forum?

I also prefer functionality over talking to a robot, but that's my opinion.
[Android General] PsychDrummer:
Actually years ago before I got an S3, I was so excited for S Voice. After getting it though and using it for a few days I realized it really isn't good. I'm sure it has improved in the last two years but I still prefer google now/search. Also because it gets constantly updated. That goes for siri as well. It's kind of dumb that siri only gets updated once a year.

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jmdearras:
I loaded the Great Britain tizen on my Gear, and all works, except the gear manager shows a blank screen for samsung app. Is this normal? are there any apps to sideload, and how do you do that?

Thanks!

Jim:D
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] 440bro:
No that's not normal. What build version did you flash?

There's no sideloading because it's Tizen based not android. Unless someone knows of Tizen apps not on the market.

I did not do anything to gear manager but relink to the watch.

Thanks for any help! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jmdearras:

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] 440bro:
You might have a bad download, or flash of NE9. Try downloading and re-flashing again. Or you can possibly download and flash the latest update ending with NF1.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jmdearras:
OK, I'll try it. All I did was use odid v3.09 in defaults to flash over the android os. Could I have missed any steps?

I'll put the canadian (XAC) NF1 on it tonight,
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] 440bro:
I believe you did everything right. It's a simple process. Sometimes file downloads can be corrupt. I had one that kicked my butt for 2 days. I downloaded and it was fine.

Try the Canadian NF1 and see what happens. It's the one I'm on with my note 3 and all is well.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jmdearras:
OK, thanks. It's just strange the error shows up on the gear manager, the watch is solid. should you remove the watch from gear manager before the update?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] 440bro:
It's a good idea to do a complete fresh install and pairing. So when the gear connects uncheck the restore box so it doesn't try to reload old android apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jmdearras:
define "fresh install"? I cannot uninstall gear manager. I did uncheck the restore box.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] 440bro:
On the gear enter stock recovery and perform a factory data reset. Use Odin to flash new firmware. When gear pairs with phone for first time do not restore old gear settings. Start fresh.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jmdearras:
do you have a link to a known good canadian version. I downloaded from two sites and while the files are identical in size, they give a different MD5

I factory reset, and flashed the latest Canadian one, and there was no difference. Gear Manager shows no Samsung Apps. All else is fine. except I cannot get it to connect to bluetooth headphones for the media player.

Jim:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jbirdou:
There appear to be a few of us United-Statesians who are having this problem, Jim. I experienced this issue on my Note 3 when i prematurely flashed Tizen, and another user in response to a thread I posted a week back noted that he experienced the issue as well.

At least you can rest assured that it is not just your phone or Gear.

I even flashed the XAR version of NF1 today, and still no luck.

Oddly, though, I was able to see the apps in the store for a short period of time, when the app store notified me of an update to watch styler. I've been able to reproduce the effect by installing an old version of watch styler, waiting a few minutes (anywhere from 15 to an hour), and then going into the app store for the update. For some reason, when the gear app store sees the need for an update, it allows you to view all of the apps on the store. Not sure if it works with updates to any other apps, but I don't see a reason that it woiuldn't. An odd workaround, I know, but it may work for you as well.

Good luck!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] zambz:
No apps fix

In my case I had my Samsung Gear updated from Android to Tizen (NE9 version) and my Note 3 updated the Gear Manager automatically, when detected Gear with Tizen.

I tried all the steps above with no luck, so I uninstalled the Gear Manager (from Galaxy apps application) and rebooted the phone. Installed a fresh version of Gear Manager from Galaxy Apps and after connected with watch everything worked. Now I can see many apps for my watch on Samsung Gear Apps.

I hope this helps!

plz help

tahnx in advance
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] linoskoczek:
Go into bootloader (turn the phone completely off -> HOLD Vol+ button and while doing this connect phone to the computer using USB cable)

Flash stock firmware for Xperia P with Flashtool.

It always works when your phone doesn't boot and you can't go into CWM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] jdock:
I've got the Camera saving to my sd card and until last weekend, as far as I ever noticed, the built-in Gallery app would display all of my pictures (the ones from the S5 - it doesn't search any other dirs on my sd card, grrr).

Saturday I noticed it only showed me a handful of pictures, the most recent ones taken. And since then, as far as camera pictures go, it's only showing me ones taken after that certain point. Quickpic is still showing me everything. The gallery app still shows the few older pics that are on device storage, just not sd card.

Any ideas why? The only thing I can relate this to is that I tried the "drama" mode for the first time that day - the finished picture is in the "Studio" directory in phone storage, not SD, and it's the regular camera pictures taken before that point that are not showing.

I'm not a big fan of the gallery app in general, and now that quickpic shows my picasa pics I don't really need it, but I would still like to fix this.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seanie280672:
he can use the guru reset file to go back to 3.62.401.1 and then OTA all the way from there, I did the same myself before I went s-off to get an OTA, I did notice he has 11 where as the RUU is 9, unfortunately 11 was a small OTA from 9 but thought it was worth a try.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
the Guru Reset ROM could work, if he get's a notification to 4.19.401.11... but if there's an OTA version in between the two, it

could

fail because of the "version" downgrade

EDIT, true it's a small upgrade, so both your ideas could work, but for the RUU.EXE to work, he would need to use the misctool to change version-main to something lower, otherwise the ruu.exe won't let it through.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShaheenXE:
Damn this is confusing guys :D I just have no idea what to do
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
yep, sorry about that, I guess you could try the Guru Reset ROM and see if the OTA works, since the 4.4 RUUs are extremely sensitive.

but out of curiosity, why do you need stock and get OTAs? (and why no S-Off?)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShaheenXE:
Well I have 2 HTC ones (both rooted with custom ROMs) I wanted to get back to stock and do some tests. And I really actually don't know why I don't have s-off, I think because it's just that I'm not bothered to get it, so I just unlocked bootloader via HTC dev.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
Well you already know my answer to S-Off: if you can get it, then do it.... with S-Off you wouldn't even need this thread, you'd just flash an old ruu and you are done.

hboot 1.56 is already tough to get S-Off, but hboot 1.57 (the one you'll get once you receive the 5.xx OTA, is even tougher/close-to-impossible)

but if you don't want to be bothered with that, I personally would try the Guru Reset ROM, and see how that works out.
