[Xperia Z3 General] Januwar:
why complaining?

To all the complainers out there, I don't understand, why you keep on complaining about the speed, Sony is delivering update.

1) We all can be happy, that Z3 (and even Z1 and Z2) will get update. No manufacturer is obliged to provide any updates. You bought a phone that works perfect with Kitkat. Providing an update is "good will" of SONY

2) I prefer getting a stable and bugfree update needing more time to be done by SONY then a buggy update quickly and ruin the phone

3) If google provides manufacturer with buggy sources, we all can be happy that they are taking their time to fix the bugs

This is -of course- just a personal opinion, but why not trying to be thankful about a great phone and be patient to get a bugfree update as soon as SONY did a good job :good:

Cheeers
[Xperia Z3 General] CouldntThinkOfAUsername:
5.0.2 is awful, I don't see why people want to upgrade to it and experience even more bugs and having to restart the phone every few days. The issue only gets worse over time. Pretty but a POS.

You mentioned US being available, but when I just hooked up and used the updater, it said my device was up to date (4.4.4). Guessing maybe not all US devices are being allowed yet? I have the 6603 so not really sure.

I'm still waiting on the OTA to pass testing via Three Mobile UK.

As for LP, I just upgraded from my nexus 5 and the UI comparison is fairly even. I like the variations of LP but I also like the well polished xperia UI.

BESIDES, the main reason I've upgraded is for the superior battery life, the built in software and Sony's optimisations.

When I upgrade to LP on xperia, I couldn't give a damn about the looks, I can adjust that to many extents. On the other hand, if the performance, software quality or battery life is worse I'm going to be PISSED.

Seriously.

[Xperia Z3 General] undercover:
Well, here's my 2 cents. Absolutely pathetic effort from Sony. God knows how late and still with major bugs. I'll try clean flash but from reading that doesn't fix hotspot and "transfer to sd" issue?

There we go, race card played. Wtf has it got to do with discrimination? How about UK, that is the major market in Europe, and still hasn't got the update? Engage your brain for a second before shouting "discrimination". Harsh? Maybe, but deserved.
[Xperia Z3 General] kurosawa79:

It's normal. Carriers updates are released way after generic phones.
[Xperia Z3 General] dnzdeniz:
Is this for generic update? Or carrier update?
[Xperia Z3 General] jonmorris:
That used to be the case, and is certainly true in some cases now - but in the case of Sony / Sony Ericsson, we've seen many times in the last few years that carriers are getting updates before the generic versions.

Possibly this is because carriers are putting manufacturers under increased pressure to do updates quickly, so Sony prioritises accordingly.
[Xperia Z3 General] lee480:
Maybe I'm not very observant, but have been using Sony/SE for ages and I've never seen such a situation. Maybe released at the same time as the unbranded version, but definitely not earlier.
[Xperia Z3 General] Chemacky:
My carrier was extremely slow to release the last OTA update for my old Galaxy s3, which would have been one of their most popular phones. I think my z3 is going to be far less popular, and as such I think it might take even longer. Is it possible to get your hands on the unbranded version and install that? Is that a thing? How do people update when they buy a phone outright? There's nothing (that I know of) that makes me want my carrier branded version...
[Xperia Z3 General] GhostRaiderMX:
Isn't Android 5.0 full of bugs, which is why Android 5.1 was released? Sony should might as well delay the update to incorporate those fixes so they don't have to deal with it later. Or quality doesnt matter anymore?
[Xperia Z3 General] Webern:
Or 5.0 isn't full of bugs? 5.0.2 is stable on my n10 (well, as stable as n10s ever get)

I'll answer my own question. I was on Rogers and flashed the generic Canadian FTF from here:

http://xdaforums.com/z3/general/d6603-generic-canada-23-0-2-93-ftf-t3001983

I deselected wiping data and after the flash completed I booted up and there was the new update waiting for me when I connected to the PC!!

Hope this helps other impatient Canadians!

---------- Post added at 22:53 ---------- Previous post was at 22:43 ----------

I couldn't find it by searching the support pages, but I just signed up for an account there and can now see it saying:

Android version: Android 5.0 (Lollipop)

Latest available software: 23.1.A.0.690

Release started: 2015-03-30

I've already upgraded to baltic using experifim and can therefore not upgrade via pc companion or OTA. How do I get this? When's it likely to be available on experifirm?

Edit: hopefully if I flash back to 23.0.1.A.5.77 I'll then see lollipop?

It'll be interesting to see whether there's any difference between baltic and the other, later regions; were sony fixing problems or just waiting a few weeks.

Edit2: Flashed back to kitkat and update not available either OTA or via pc companion. Hmm....

You won't lose any data from internal or even external memory by flashing it. You can Google a step by step guide, if you think you can't manage on your own. :)
[Xperia Z3 General] DakotaBMacDonald:
And you still retained 4G & LTE? :D I always seem to lose 4G but keep LTE when flashing. When the 5.77 update came out I flashed it as soon as I could & lost 4G & had to wait till Rogers finally released it & it fixed everything. Same thing happened now with Lollipop, flashed Baltic, 4G. So yeah now I'll flash Rogers 5.77 (to get 4G back) then flash Generic CA & see if that keeps things fixed. Fingers crossed!

Lollipop standard runtime is art, they would've needed to code way too much different to make it dalvic. And in the end they would probably not be allowed to call it 5.0.2. I'd say that app is rubbish.
