Does samsung intentionally delay 4.0.4 update? (because they want s3 to have more softwate feature advantage maybe?)
I mean where the hell is 4.0.4? I'm pretty sure they have the update ready since s3 and s2 rom are very similiar..
Maybe. Marketing.

Have you ever wondered that they will never release 4.0.4? Just saying...
Its possible but updates always lag behind the latest Android version. Its always been the case whether a new flagship is on the horizon or not.

Yes. Purely to piss you off. It's a conspiracy.
what will 4.0.4 bring new?

Hahaha, clearly it is going to power the next space shuttle.
It may not turn any phone into rocket launcher but it is rumored that it will fix the problem of the e-mail app with the exchange servers and other problems that you might have not faced but exist Warhero141
It is fixed in WLPG, at least for me.
nothing to do with SGS3, how long did they took to launch 4.03?
this should be enough to know how long..........
4.04 brings many fixes in ICS, its the stable of all ICS yet
If Sony even released the 4.0.4 update for the low/mid-end xperia ray, and Samsung won't support/update a 1 year old high-end phone, i say shame on them!

Well it is poo but there are much worse phones selling, but I'm getting Oppo find 5 for next few months I found it really cheap high-end smartphone and it even ships to my country (official site) unlike nexus 4.
But in terms of price Xperia U is not bad.
Sent from my Xperia U using xda app-developers app
I had an xperia sola - the worst phone i have ever had. A friend of mine got U and sold it two weeks ago.
I will never buy low end sony again, ever.
If i were you i would get the samsung one.
EDIT: And dont you ever install ROM for one phone to another...
ok thx but this gonna be for my gf she txt ring fb and some browsing and some pix and she like pink thatsway im asking obviously its not hi-end just want to root put some nice fast room and that it anyway thx a how with talk sound quality and camera behave
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
My mum uses hers for exactly the same. I've tried all sorts of firmware and unlocked her bootloader while trying. The best rom for the U in my (and her opinion) is GB-Rocks. Definitely recommend putting that on if you get one. All the ics roms are just rubbished, and the JB roms are still full of bugs

When do you guys think we can expect either of these updates? In see a lot of other handsets getting the 4.3 update now.
When will Sony act?

That was exactly my thought when I was going to change device.
I thought about it for a second and then I got the ZU instead.
Reasons for my choice?
-old processor
-no sd slot
-extreme fragility
-LG
-no LTE
-no USB OTG
And others that do not come to mind right now.
I agree, it's cool to have the latest OS, but going through several devices I came to the conclusion that it's better to have a .1 revision less but more stability instead of the latest rushed just to have it.
If I feel the need to have more I always have custom ROMs.
And hey, my wife's Z had 4.1.2 when she got it, and a few months later it was updated to 4.2.2, so I'm not feeling "left out" by Sony in terms of updates.

Feel the same too, Sony seems to keep they devices up to date very well, but I can understand they do not want to make so many different updates. 4.3 and 4.4 come far too close for give want to company to update all the time.

I guess if you have to have the latest OS you just need to install a custom Rom..
I've surprised myself this time though.. I've just stayed at the stock rom with Xposed etc installed.
I could never have done that with my old Samsung device, but the Sony experience is much closer to stock.
same problem...still waiting for Sony to update...others have made it already..but dnt know for what Sony is waiting.....

Jeez, I'm used to Samsung update cycle which was pretty slow. November would be pretty good in my opinion for an update. I'm a fan of Sony launcher so far, as other people have said it's very close to stock which suits me well.
Sent from my C6833 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I wouldn't mind skipping from 4.2 to 4.4 since 4.3 doesn't really have a whole lot of features that I'm interested in. I'm getting a Nexus 5 as my main device anyways though, so the Ultra will be more for music and comics.
I'm running 4.3 now... obviously CM10.2...
But that latest update coming 4.3.1 is only 10mb... stated as... "stability and improvement fixes"
I think we need to get out of the mindset that an 'update' is actually going to make our life better. Sometimes the update is more of a parallel move, and not a linea increase...

Right, and first of all I would like they fix this SOD issue and the mess with adapt to lighting and optimized backlight. No need to hurry updates, want something rock stable. Unfortunately I really need the leds, so I can't jump on CM or OSPA.

Hello everybody,
I just open this thread to discuss about Android 4.4 KitKat for our lovely Novathor Devices
So here's my opinion:
I still have hope that Sony will update our Novathor Devices. Google announced that KitKat is fitting on 512MB devices well so it's not impossible Some people here lost theri hope on official updates from Sony but not me!
So what's your opinion about it?

But next week, SONY will release the 4.3/4.4 update plan.
We can still wait for it!!

I'm not putting hope on it that Sony will release an official update for our device.
Google itself won't update their Galaxy Nexus (http://www.theverge.com/2013/10/31/5051958/google-galaxy-nexus-will-not-be-upgraded-android-4-4-kit-kat) and its even more capable of running kitkat for it has 1Gb of ram...http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_nexus_i9250-4219.php
i will just wait for the wonderful works of the awesome developers here in xda
I would like an official update by Sony. It should cover things like floating touch and would bring my dead ICS XPeria Sola back to life. I'm not an optimist, let's hope I'm wrong.
don`t lost hope guys wait for dev. to release the latest ver. kitkat. its smother than sony update
hope my xsola will have 4.4 rom
We all hope that

Then you are most probably wrong. Stop hoping. Xperia U, Go, P and Sola will not get anymore updates:
-Novathor is dead, ST-Ericsson already closed its doors.
-Sony will rather focus it's resources on more expensive phones like Xperia S, T,Z and Z1 rather than low-mid range phones like Xperia U or Go.
Sent from my C6603 using xda app-developers app
Yes, dont hope to get the official update from Sony. You will be disappointed. Also our devs don't have necessary drivers for our hardware, so it is difficult to make a fully working 4.4 Rom. Hope our devs here will make our devices run on 4.4 with only few acceptable issues.

xperia p isnt that low range phone... Doesnt it have more possibilities to get kit kat?
dont think so that sony will update our devices ... but some great devs will surely bring the KitKat taste
Hope they will build a pure AOSP Rom ?

If Sony didn't even updated their last year's flagship models, why would they update midrange phones? Even Google themselves won't update the Galaxy Nexus, even though it's more than capable to run Kit Kat.
Hmm maybe Android 4.4 KitKat isn't all about lower requirement. Maybe its Android 5.0 that we waiting and they should name it Android 5.0 LEPO (LOW END PHONE ONLY)

That would be awesome! Just a special version for low-end devices. But this also needs developing and time

I am on 5.1.1 COH4 and it's running mote stable, faster, snappier and just everything is so much better then the old versions of android so why are people still stuck in the old versions and developing???
Why isn't some Developer or anyone with the knowhow porting the note 5 spen to note 4 5.1.1 COH4 ?
There must be some of these people using 5.1.1 ?
Also is anyone working on porting note 5 rom over ?
I am willing to be a test subject if needed...

Oh man it's like being cursed for running 5.1.1 ?
Every one else is stuck in the stone age on old systems. I don't get it why everyone still runs 5.0.1 and below when 5.1.1 is so fast and smoth. It's like all car part factory's starting to make spare parts for a car that's going for scraps and ignoring the newer models. ?
They need time.
