No, this is an unbranded XZ1 G8341. It is the Customized DE Firmware 1310-4290 R6C. I have no clue why I have it already. I searched manually on the phone on saturday between 7-8 am (GMT+1). Till today I have not seen it on XperiFim or xpericheck.com.

Btw. there is nothing very special about the new Version. New Cam, few new icons but other then that it feels more or less the same as before.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] GeTh.:
(g8341 Customized IT) If you connect your device to a pc, go on Xperia Companion and start "Repair Device" it will automatically install Pie.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] profyler:
Yeah Italy is already out from some time now as shown in xpericheck...
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] davide.bissoli:
I still don't get the ota
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] pavitra.das:
I'm thinking that we will skip that upgrade and will take Pie with the following one which would come in the beginning of December. It's obvious that this upgrade is not good at all. Many paradox features and bugs are inside - some Android ones, some Sony's.

The comment's of people using it sounds the same when XZ1 was launched. The same problems.... which i had before one year. I got that phone of very beginning of it's launch.

Latest Oreo firmware was almost perfect.

Same here :highfive:
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] dsxyz:
Hello,

did someone from Slovenia get an Pie update?

I still didn't get it.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] chivi:
Yes, but from mobitel not unbranded one :o
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] dsxyz:
I'm on Telemach and no update :(
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] realadry:
I still have no OTA update on the unbranded one (EU version G8341).

Anyone else? What's going on?
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] gas80:
I just installed swiss customized pie with new flasher. Tired waiting for ota in italy. Everything ok battery it 8hour sot before i was having just 6. I dont know if it is pie or bececause i did clean flash.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] oli_brius:
Strange that you get only 8 hours. I can go for 1 and a half day on battery on oreo :/
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] HellRoot:
He means 8 hours of SOT.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] dsxyz:
Me neither :(
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] Pandemic:
Its weekend so you guys need to wait, Sony dont roll out OTA's in the weekend -__-
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] HellRoot:
Hopefully it arrives soon for the unbranded also, I am on the nordic firmware and the pie has reappeared as the next software version. It might be close guys :)
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] AAZZAAMM:
Hey anyone knows when the pie update is coming for Canada G8343
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] chrisftlse:
Dual SIM version or Single one?

I am using a Dual SIM unbranded in France ans still no next version displayed via assistance tool.

As a cleaver guy said earlier, it is most than possible that it will arrive with the December security patch.

So for my case late in December in France (always received the updates after the 20th)

Christmas is coming
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] HellRoot:
Oh yeah I am sorry, it is the single sim. I guess you are right, it will come eventually.

Better to wait and it is a good wait, than getting updated with bugs
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] I_M_Ken:
Just checked with Sony Singapore. In Singapore we will get it end Dec according to them. So definitely looks like it will come with the Dec security updates.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] grifovunque:
it's start to release a new update 47.2.A.2.33 with november patch on pie firmware.

see here:

[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] lilbrat:
Just got it, here in Jordan..
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] realadry:
Still nothing. WTF sony?! Also, why not december patch included?
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] Tudor M:
Yep, pretty frustrating. I have Customized DE on my XZ1C and still no Pie..
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] Pandemic:
Patients but some dont have it.. -___-

Its not the end of the world dafuq -__#
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] lilbrat:
Sony has made a cluster f#@k for some folks with the Pie release but since Sony's X series release and they appear to be holding true to form as their security updates lag behind by about a month.. So we will see December update in January...
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] cas_vis95:
Is the last update just a security patch?
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] realadry:
I bought a sony because they have a fast update record. Now this ****. Android 9 was released in August(!!), they promised it in November, now it's December. Stupid branded phones get the update first but unlocked, full-price phones get ignored.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] lilbrat:
As I said earlier they have made a mess of it, but I wonder how much of it Sony or if any carrier s have a hand in what's going on? As in my case, I received Pie within the first week of it being released and the update yesterday, phone is unbranded and the G8342 (Dual Sim) .. So really curious..
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] AAZZAAMM:
Depends. Some who received the pie update with October patch is receiving November patches now. But I am still on 8.0. No update my way in Canada
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] AAZZAAMM:
A month of updates and still nothing in Canada

---------- Post added at 03:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:31 PM ----------

I don't think it's fair to say patience to customers who paid high price for a product. Getting an update out shouldn't be this hard. It's not the customers fault OEMs decide to make 2 flagships 2 compacts and a premium model in a single year. Plus mid ranged phone. No wonder Sony's mobile division is falling so hard.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] qbic2:
This is crap... unbranded bought directly from Sony, dual, no OTA, Poland.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] AAZZAAMM:
Don't worry you're not missing out. Android 9 has been absolutely disappointing for me. Works fine but so does all flagships. But there is nothing now. Sony has proven to be lazy and honestly the ui is just all over the place.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] Pandemic:
Yeah dissapointed for you, but the most like pie and i am one of them and Sony lazy ? Well Sony is the fastest in OEM and have one of the stablest Pie releases.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] oli_brius:
I would be glad to test it by myself. But the last update I got was in September...

Unfortunately I can't flash firmware because it's a company phone :(.

That makes me one of the upset guys with the messy deployment of pie.

Sony maybe fast at releasing firmware but deployment is way too messy. I'd love to understand how it works and how it fails (if smbd could point me to the docs)
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] AAZZAAMM:
Well I have been using pie for about a day and half. It has been extremely horrible. Notifications are not. Coming through. Battery life has been disappointing. Camera is slower. Web browser seems funky. And lastly touch response has been slow
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] kcannonball:
Wow! I just dont agree for any of these.. Using it about 1 month, Camera is beautiful, bokeh have improved a bit, browsing and multitasking is quite good almost flawless, Battery life increadibly good (after some days it adapts to your usage), not any bug on wifi or on touch response. However for me the Disappointment is the Nav Bar! :(
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] Techamazon:
If China wasn't so locked down and 'murica wasn't so dumb and greedy we could've had a global ROM release. Unfortunately that won't be a thing since operators wants 110% control where this and that is being released (shuving their own **** into the ROM because they either enforce or just see it as necessary cuz their customers are that dumb, hint; they are), they want to have this and that on the phones they're selling, especially if they have a perma-locked bootloader. Sony gets a cheaper cut from these operators but the customer has to suffer for late updates and the like (anti-consumer practices). The Operators even get to have their own ads (enforced apps), same as to why Sony have been shipping M$ and Facebook BS for a while since it's ads, and ads make the cost lower per device. It's a Win/Win for the companies but a big middle finger to the actual user (on a global scale).

See the issue with the earlier/current series with the FPC (due to some dumb US patent), which means once again that it's just anti-consumer practices, same reason how Apple patented a rice cookers magnetic cable plug and people act like they invented it and cheer and let them have the company bend them over.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] mmdup93:
Back in November I got the notification of the new update 47.2.A.0.306 for the XZ1 G8341, however I was unable to update back then due to network issues, now that I am able to download it, the update is gone, Sony support page says my phone is up to date with build number 47.1.A.16.20. Recently I got an email saying a new update 47.2.A.2.33 is out for my device, there's even a (!) in the Software Update section in the Support App in my phone, but nowhere to download it!! WTF?? Previously I have had no issues updating my phone every time a security update was released, and now this!! Hope the Pie updates comes out before this year ends.....

Using a Xperia XZ1 G8341 bought from Claro in Argentina, but I live in Cuba
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] AAZZAAMM:
Use the Xperia companion app
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] mmdup93:
Same story in the Xperia Companion Desktop App, the update appeared in November but I couldn't download it due to network instability in my country, and now the update is gone for good... :confused::crying:
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] chrisftlse:
Still no update for G8342 Generic Fr.

What are you doing Sony... Grrrr
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] profyler:
I feel you...:rolleyes:
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] rezehelius:
Same in UK, still waiting. My phone is on Vodafone, unlocked it but I don't think it matters.

Anyone anything?
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] Tudor M:
Nope, no news.

I Have XZ1 Compact Customized DE, which should have the update fairly quickly, but no luck so far.

Very very frustrating.

If we wait a little bit longer, we might get android 10 directly. :))))
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] HellRoot:
I don't really care about getting the update before it is ready, but to have a date and no info on this bumpy ride, that is a no go.

They just say that some has the update, nothing more.. To me at least
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] lilbrat:
To be honest, I've had the update since Nov. 16 and received the update and it has worked and performed really well..
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] chrisftlse:
Good for you and pleased that you enjoyed this update.

Which version are you using and from which region (carrier?)?

Do you confirm an update in photo quality?
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] lilbrat:
Info in pic. This is the lastest with Nov. security update. Middle East (Jordan), carrier Zain, on the dual sim model.. Sorry I can't really comment on the improvements on the photos as I'm not a picture person..
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] AAZZAAMM:
Same here. No update here in Canada. G8343. Sony is absolutely garbage when it comes to updates. Why make so many different models when you can't update makes no sense to me
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] Andy3105:
I'm on Sky Mobile and there's still no update for the XZ1 which is getting very frustrating....
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] KpKi:
I flashed the Switzerland PIE version yesterday, and I was very impressed (jk). Navigation bar is blinding in low light as it stays white most of the times. Didn't like the new notification panel. No night mode (or a hack to activate it). Apps are not optimized yet.

On the bright side the rom speed was on par with Oreo I think.

Imo, the ROM needs some polishing before release. Back to Oreo.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] murrayalex:
December 23rd and no UK update for an unlocked, XZ1....my XZ Premium had it weeks ago...what is going on!
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] lilbrat:
Well, this a is bit of salt in the wound for some.. sorry, but this is my second update this month. Will check it out later but it appears to be December security update but it's a bit bigger than usual..
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] 15israellai:
HK here, nothing either. dammit. I might as well flash it.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] Donczech:
that is sad.....so much to project treble. :D....... still no update to android 9 for XZ1 dual G8342 in central europe. And sony has no Info or they say that we all have to wait...
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] Njok41:
What happens with feature updates if you flash with another firmware. Are they automatic. Are updates linked with Imei number or firmware version
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] Donczech:
it is sad story as sony had first mobile on the market with preinstalled android 9 (XZ3) and with google nexus mobiles was sony supposed to be first to update all devices before others but due to many bugs and errors is now sony behind every other manufacture with updates.... so where is the problem? I ´ve made some calls and send some emails asking questions, what was the outcome?

so sony has deployed an update (pie) on october for XZ3 and some XZ2 in November for XZ1 and some other fixes for XZ3 and XZ2

it means in first month there was a so called test run where firs 25% of mobiles will got an android 9 ( after that were collected bugs reports to make fixes) later on were deployed update for another 25% of devices with another small updates and some security updates.

those who did not get the update until now still have to wait for finall launch. as there were so many problems that even security updates were putt on hold since september.those first 50% test subjects were lucky and unlucky at the same time......

anyway sony is still working on finall update version b4 releasing it to all devices but still there is another problem sony is having huge financiall problems and they are cutting jobs positions in Sweeden where updates are made it is sad it is same story with xperia division at it was with VAIO division few years ago I hope that this time sony will manage to save the xperia but they need to make some serious changes and inovation aswell as lower the prices or they will be gone in 3yrs time....

so back to update progress, so we wait for sony to deploy updates for the last 50% of devices and than for each country telecom market to distribute to the users but XZ1 dual G 8342 and XZ1 in canada G8343 will be one of the last to recieve it..

this year branded mobiles have the priority b4 unbranded.....

sorry for my english hope you can understand what i was tring to say :D
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] lilbrat:
Just a curiousity question.. Has anyone outside of me tried flashing the dual Middle East (MEA) version as it is very stable and has the latest December update..
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] chrisftlse:
Hi,

I am starting to think about this option as my Dual SIM Customized FR version is still running Oreo (that is fine) but with September security only.

Plus the fact that I hav a weird behavior in Photo app which I was not able to resolve even via factory reset or repair via pc.

But before flashing another region, I need to learn more about this possibility as no root and bl still locked.

Any advice are welcomed
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] Techamazon:
The issue with Sony is shipping so many ROM version (regions) instead of having a ROW, Asia (mostly JP and KR) and the US ('murica and their dumb patents. You can thanks capitalism for that one). Canada is a special case and I don't really know why... I assume it's some baseband issue (but then why does the US have no issues since CDMA is supported mostly across all devices?) hence the different version altogether. Samsung can do it since they have it streamlined and thanks to Odin and the ones that thinker have way more freedom.

Having Japanese OEMs and having Swedes working on something isn't really a good mental clash. Perhaps in the 2008 but not even imaginable in 2018.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] lilbrat:
I found this to be a bit humorous.. Granted Sony has made a slight mess of the update, but to blame the different region's, this is a Sony error pure an simple .. If they would quit putting out a new device every 6 months would be a good place to start.. As far as your gripe goes about the US, if it was a " patents" issue 9 out of 10 you wouldn't even be able to get the device there.. (Huawei ring a bell though probably more political and again carrier based.) You would be better off to blame the carriers and their added on bloatware.. As far as capitalism goes that's everywhere now a days and I don't see the EU burning up the update list, then again it's economy runs on capitalism to.. So maybe your on to something..

Oh.. And as far as Samsung and their Pie updates go, there's an artice posted in the News section but I posted a screen shot for you and they don't appear to be burning up the update release either..
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] lilbrat:
[MENTION=5614267]Techamazon[/MENTION], , ok I didn't mean to get you wound up... As you kind of gone off point for your initial discussion.

But to address a few points you passed over.. You can't really complain about US, phone market being only anti - consumer market last time I checked there isn't a single phone manufacturer the ships it phone to any region/market with it Bootloader pre unlocked...

You completely skipped over the proposed Samsung updates scheduled.. Oh and Samsung latest S9 didn't ship with Android 9 but with oreo so does it get limited to to Android 10 which is in the same as our older XZ1... Hmm, capitalism at its finest..

And to comment.. On one other topic, Apple is a story in itself and could be debated about all day... Yet do you blame them or the people purchased their devices.... Yet their trends have found there way over to the Android side of the house..

And thank you for the early morning conversation..

Actually it shouldn't any issue at all, as your flashing stock sony firmware, the only thing that might be out of wack would be your carrier APN but that can be added manually... ?

Well after tinkering this weekend with the TA. backup and having to downgrade for it and I reloaded the MEA pie version, I think they (Sony) may be still testing. Reason being we have a "Bug" report folder that can't really be accessed..

[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] eddymjj:
We know that Sony had to part with its staff members, unfortunately and I think this update delay for several regions and due to that. They must retructure.

I understand that many are waiting for Pie but I find that some do not measure things too much and react excessively.

After waiting I was able to install Pie on November 16, 2018 via OTA. Everything is fine. I had just a bug in the navigation bar not centered. Fixed last month. I am in France and I have the security patch of December.
