I have bought my u20i about a month ago because I thought I wouldn't have to wait long for the android update... and now look...
SE HAVE DELAYED 2.1 FOR A MONTH, I AM RAGING
Which brings me onto my request, can someone please get in touch with a developer to attempt to crack the bootloader and give us 2.2 (because i'm sure SE will never unlock it for us, thats for sure).
and the final thing is my question, i have noticed that roadsync keeps loading itself up every 5 seconds after I kill the task. Is there a way i could stop this? (yes I know I could remove the app as I have root but I have heard that it can cause pc companion not to download updates - stupid SE)
so yeah any help out there?

Feel sorry for the poor X10 owners who have been waiting since March.

Already people working on it, it's not exactly a trivial exercise, just hope SE left a nice gaping hole somewhere, else it may take a very long time.

Updates should be fine, I've moved forward on very stripped firmware multiple times and you can always make a backup. There seems to be an issue going back in revisions via pc companion, though I don't suspect it's related to roadsync.

yeah I do, its such a shame because its a good phone, and would be better if they updated it.

Yeah I know, I don't expect anyone to find one straight away. Do you work as a team or individually?

Hi,
Sony Ericson announced availability of Android 2.1 in last week of October. And same has been started, X10 mini shows updates available, but is unable to download via GPRS/EDGE/3G (roaming) for me. Could others confirm availability of same via Mobile or PC companion.

I think ur update is 1.2.A......
Companion tells me that my computer is up to date.
I am with build number 1.1.A.0.8,still no updates further.

a) SE never announced officially avaliability of 2.1 in the last week of October
b) last week of October starts in 5 days (Monday 25th).
c) Hold your horses. You´ll get nothing in October.
Anyone in here from UK, using Orange 3G Pay as you go SIM with Mini?
I dont see any updates here in India
There is no new update to eclair...
Don't forget that whilst SE "might" release an update soon, you will only get this if you have an unlocked, non carrier phone.
If your phone was supplied by a carrier and is branded then just as we have seen on other phones, you could be waiting months longer.
Just look at the Desire where 2.2 was rolled out by HTC months ago yet Three users in the UK are still waiting.
October on it's end.Still no sign from SE
be patient... on Twitter, SE UK says that there aren't further delays, the update will be at the end of October... that's this week! I think will be by friday... hopefully!
What major improvements do you expect from 2.1? The only thing why I am expecting it is because spp profile ability in bluetooth. And what do you expect from eclair?
I don't hope nothing special from SE, perhaps the facebook association to the contacts, improving a little bit the contact list and no more else. I think the most important comes from Android 2.1, like bluetooth as you said. Also some apps only are available from Android 2.x and towards. Some people says that it activates the multitouch function... and more stuff that i'm totally sure we'll discover
New firmware approved at ptcrb.com
Sw 2.0.A.0.453
Its coming!!
Sent from my rooted X10 mini pro, still with Android 1.6!!! using XDA App
I just noticed on PTCRB that the mini pro and X8 models have both received firmware certification for 2.1.
It now seems every model except the x10 mini is ready to be updated. That sucks.
hahaha , mini and mini pro have same firmware ... bullshits
Having an update for PC companion .Everyone at the end

ordered one for the Mrs yesterday, £240 SIM free
Available in denmark for 2300-3000DKR depending on carrier(over a 6 month period with usage), 2200dkr no contract.
Gonna get one in 1-2 weeks time. Glad to hear i can root with superoneclick, so i can erase all i don't want.
just got mine for HKD2100, thats GBP 165.50 no contract, the retail price in hong kong is HKD2198 (GBP 173.30) no contract needed.
before you buy, check for dead or bright pixels, this phone has lots of them, my first 1 had 10, and the other phones had 2-3, and my final one had 1 at the bottom of the screen, didn't quite check it in details, but since it a cheap phone, i'll stick with it.
here is the code to check it
*#*#7378423#*#*
Found one cheap in a store by accident today, so what was supposed to wait 1-2 weeks was bought today!
So far all i can say is that this is what the original mini pro should have been all along! The only negative things i can come up with is that the jack socket doesn't support HTC/iPhone headsets (there are quite alot of those, so alot of good ones) the jack seems to be some proprietary stuff again, the headphones that come with the phone are quite alot better than the ones with the x10 mini pro though.
The Keyboard is a little softer and got a slightly different layout (atleast the danish layout) than the x10 mini pro. Personally i liked the feedback from the x10, but i guess i just gotta get used to a softer keyboard.
Checked for dead pixels on mine, not a single one. So i'm happy.
Ask away if anyone got questions.
i actually checked in the in the shop for about an hour, didn't find anything, but when i got home checked it in a pitch black room, i found 10, some were very dull and hard to see, two were very bright, you need to look very carefully.
HI, not been able to root xperai mini pro sk17i with super one click (2.1 & also with 1.5) & neither ginger break worked.
I believe there are some issues with rooting gingerbread phones. in most of the 2.3.3 phones super one click doesn't works.
p.s. costs 15,200 INR for me
Tried rooting mine aswell, no luck with either of Them. Hope we can root em soon, the se bloatware is bugging my eyes

Hi; is there an update for z3v with build N° 23.1.D.0.239 ?
i cant find it in xperifirm !!
Latest firmware for Z3v in xperifirm is 23.0.E.1.44 / R19B
Do you have the most recent Xperifirm?
This is also the latest firmware that VZW will send if you check for software updates.
yes my device shows 23.0.E.1.44 / R19B . and in right side in the same line S/O !
and it tells me that if it is S/O; i should use the software updater for the latest update so i did but i get the message error during DM session
is this officiel firmware ?

Well I have PC companion, and I can't have it find my Z3v. It doesn't even share the same screen as that. If you have it, download and share it so we can confirm it too

What blows my mind is how he got that info. It really makes it interesting that he found it through Apple hardware through Sony software. Hopefully that sort of made sense.

Exactly this. Nowhere else on the internet has the update version number as precise as that. Download it, share it on here, you're making headlines everywhere. Xperiablog, GSMArena, Android Authority, etc.
Trying to see if I can access it.
However, the dang Sony Bridge application will not recognize my Z3v being plugged in

The TC is quite mysterious. He doesn't directly respond to sharing other information about it.
What I do guess is trying to reinstall the program based in a different region. Try somewhere in Europe or northern Europe. Wherever it seems that Lollipop was first released and see if the phone would get recognized there. Or even try to mimic the settings from the picture posted somehow.
I loaded this on my Macbook.
It would not recognize my Z3V either.

I set my vpn in france & london. Neither yielded a different file. I guess the program just goes off of system language (hence the French in the OP's followup)
Well I'll be damned how Verizon could just hold onto it to put bloat in it.
I updated my recently bought tablet to Lollipop. I wanted to root it before I do it, but it was some hell of a trouble for me to get root because instructions were all over the place. I gave up on it halfway, go back to Kit Kat, then flashed the official Lollipop firmware. I have to say, it feels just as smooth if not better, and the whole Material design looks dazzling. Once it's going for the Z3v, I'm pretty sure it's definitely worth it despite all that's said from experience on the Galaxy S5.
One thing I do hope they add is a Clear All button for the Recents menu. It'd be convenient, but definitely a lot more convenient on the tablet because of the bigger touchscreen area.
A Tech guy I spoke to 2 days ago (during a service call) informed me that the Z3v voLTE update is scheduled for the end of the month!
I assume that would be included in the Lollipop update?!?

Oh gawd I hope that's true.

Hey everyone, i recently purchased my dad a new Z5C for his bday from a seller on Ebay. I am a bit paranoid about it though because it is on 5.1.1 and i cannot update it. I have tried doing it from phone settings, and the Xperia companion, but both say it is up to date, and i included a pic of what i got from the Sony website when i checked the IMEI (http://support.sonymobile.com/global-en/software/). So am i missing out on some info, is the update not fully out yet, or is this reason to support my paranoia.
On a side note, i have tried installing 3 tempered glass screen protectors and have gotten a large halo all around (air on the sides that wont come out) each time, is this common, do the glass screen protectors suck for this phone or is something fishy with this phone?
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!
Here is a pic of the halo effect I was talking about plus those little bubbles a fifth of the way down. All 3 new protectors have had the same issue.
Must have bought from the same seller, because the same thing happened to me. I got mine today and it showed a message saying it was a prototype device, which is my guess for why it says it can't be updated and Sony claiming it to be up to date.
I am concerned about possible spyware and build quality issues, which is why I would like to upgrade it with a stock ROM ASAP. Sony probably won't help us, but maybe eBay can exert some pressure on the seller to take it back.

I just talked to Xperia support about half an hour ago and they suggested doing a software repair via the Xperia Companion program. Except when I tried to do so, I got the error "UEGetPhoneInfoFailure" when I had to hold volume down and plug it I to the PC. I got the phone from here http://www.ebay.com/itm/142324022634

Yup, same seller. Did Xperia support mention if the phone is identical otherwise? One of the main reasons I got this phone, other than the size and specs, was the water resistance, which the Xperia X Compact lacks. I wouldn't mind keeping the phone if all that's different is the firmware, assuming we can get it flashed somehow. I'll give the software companion a try tomorrow as well and let you know what happens.

The most surprising thing is that the phone was supposed to be sold either in the Netherlands or Norway (I don't remember which exactly) but other than that it is a normal phone. Warranty expired a few years back as well. But it is a genuine Xperia. I do really like the phone as well perfect size and good amount of power. And do let me know of the results. Hopefully we can get this sorted out

Congrats! How did you go about upgrading it? I've been looking for a way to backup the TA/DRM keys before I took the plunge. I think the issue is that the keys are not in the standard format, but I can't verify. Were you able to get the keys somehow?

You don't have to worry about that because you don't have to open the bootloader. I just checked to be sure and I still got all my keys. Follow this guide here https://www.google.com/amp/s/b.marf...flashtool-and-xperifirm-guide/?marfeeltn=amp.
Make sure you install the drivers correctly for the programs, if using Windows 8,8.1, or 10 it gives you special instructions. The flash tool you can get from here http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php.
As long as the software you get matches your model number it can be any country. There was no US for the E5823 I went with customized Australian. If you need anymore info just reply or send me a message
