I have been told by my local supplier that they can no longer source the LTE version of the tablet Z as Sony are no longer producing them.
Anyone else heard about this?

Maybe thats why we are stuck on 4.1 with no plans right now to update to 4.2.2
I have asked Sony many times when they will update to 4.2 for the LTE model and they have no response.

The LTE version was the first between the XTZ models to have 4.2.2. It is just a matter from your exact version...

Oh, well, that's another situation... Region specific fw for such devices usually take a lot more to be released, when it is released...

Yes, but 4.2 started rolling out for xtz few months ago.. I don't understand Sony's upgrade philosophy. They never update any of the Sony specific apps too.. I have always updated them from xda posts. Oh, other xperia devices seems to be getting them. In a way it seems like they are what you call "Showing the finger "at us who bought them?

If its the US LTE model# SGP351 I can assure you it WILL NOT have 4.2.2 from the factory.
We are stuck on 4.1.2 with no timetable of when we will get 4.2

Let us know when you get it
I am not in US, I have 321, have 4.2, expect in 4.3 in the next few days and believe 4.4 will come in the next 6 months (Sony already officially says it will happen).
I seriously doubt the US version will not follow the same path.
I just switched Sony official support page to US region and still mentions the same. 4.2 is the latest, 4.3 coming this month, 4.4 coming eventually.
So I don't get where you get different info.

Hey i got the same tablet as you how did you upgrade the firmware ? As mine is on 4.1.2 ???
Ok.. everytime i talk to cust care, your latest version is 4.2.2..reinstall PC Companion, use win 7 blah blah.. but nothing worked really
after some time analyzed, i found the below link for all the Sony Rom Files... in that one it says Android 4.2.2 for SGP351 with the firmware as
10_3_1_A_0_244 which is lower than current one 10_3_1_A_1_307.

if someone using SGP321 can you confirm your 4.1.2 & 4.2.2 firmware version is your version is also like the above mentioned one.. so that we can confirm whether we have the latest one.
Mods: i don't think the above link is Warez (they are charging 20$ for 15 GB download), if you feel it to be remove it.

Thanks man, you have 4.2.2 update available? ... From which country you bought it.
Your settings and mine are exatly matching, so i can flash your firmware if you have the 4.2.2....
One more, if you go to internal memory using any file manager you can see the default capability. Xml file and customized capability. Xml, can you attach it..

Indeed 4.1.2 and 1.27.531.7 is what we are stuck with....
Just called T-Mobile and the woman saw nothing about the updates in their system...
She said if you can download the update and apply it from HTC's website that would work, but rooting and using different software would break the warranty.

The rep would not know anything except an update currently in the pipeline, that is, already heading our way. Only someone at Tmo corporate headquarters would know the strategic deployment strategy, and they do not talk. TMO tends to release updates later than other companies.
t-mobile tends to release updates not at all...
a few years ago my smartphone was updated for all carriers except t-mobile. everyone went up an android version while I did not.
who cares how much difference it makes... t-mobile is clearly lazier about updating than other companies and need a push to do so.

Well, for my Amaze 4G, they released the upgrade to ICS after about 5 months. And then very recently they did another upgrade, which would be almost a year later. But that first major update wasn't that late.
The way I look at it, if you're using these forums, you shouldn't have to wait for carrier updates. HTC did announce that an update is in the works.

It got all the usual bells and whistles that we all have come to expect from samsung, plus i also got Tripadvisor, something i didnt have before the update.
I wonder if i should try a clean install and see if there is anything different, because i am quite sure 4.2.2 should have the different settingspanel.
Daydream is there tho, but cant choose Clock for some reason
Carmode is there, not sure if that was there in 4.1.2
Widgets on the lockscreen works, even tho i think i could use more widgets on the S4 when i was playing around with one.
Probably some other new stuff that i havnt found out yet

But since the OP say its once every hour or so ill have to do alot of scrolling with my fingers for a while now
Would it work to flash this on my 5100 without the modem?
Urm you could brick your device it will check if you have 4g or wifi models etc.

You are right about possibly bricking it but there should be no check for what model you have. If there was then Note 10.1 Wifi users could not flash the 3G version and I've done it no problem.
It would just fail during the Odin Flash probably due to a different partition layout and that's where the brick can happen.
Do NOT try it.
Just a quick question to those who have flashed 4.2.2... are you able to set tablet mode by reducing the DPI to lets say 177.... or is tablet mode totally disabled?

And that's totally fine. I guess not everybody has picked that tiny detail up, so I understand why you thought this was news.

I've got an interesting question. Once Kitkat has been officially released by Sony, would obtaining root be fairly easy?
Or would it be a mission like on current 4.3 firmwares where we have to downgrade, root, flash, etc?
I'm still on 4.2 and will not bother upgrading until Kitkat has been released and obtaining root is done by a one click procedure.
If anything it'll be harder to root
And you would more then likely have to downgrade etc

What Jack said
There is a slight conflict here, you want an easy root path, but you want a secure phone that no one can hijack. If there is a one click root tool then there can just as easily be a 'no click' root exploit that you dont even know has been un on your phone and the writer/hacker now has full control of your phone - see the problem?
The way Sony wants us to do it (and the best security model for us and them) is to unlock the bootloader and install recovery to flash our phones - this is what we do now except we do the extra steps of running a root exploit so we can latter restore our bootloader/TA to a factory state

Doh! I take it it's best I stay with 4.2 and firmware 532 for now...
There's not much of an advantage for me to update to 4.3. I already tried and saw no noticeable improvements...

I understand. What you said makes sense. I previously used Vroot to root previously like most others but after hearing rumours that were apparently true, I no longer used it. As you mentioned they may be stealing our imei numbers and taking control over our phones violating our privacy...
Since Kitkat 4.4 is around the corner, I won't bother updating to 290 Firmware. Who knows, we may need to downgrade and flash to root Kitkat.
As long as we have an unlocked bootloader root is easy
hmmm.i remembered that when the nexus 5 came in..they got it rooted fast.since the software securities of 4.4 is almost(if not the same) with 4.3..but who am i to say..im just a simple guy passing through... but hey, we already have a working kitkat rom for ZU..so why wait? *smiling

I still have not even recieved the 4.3 update for my unlocked, unbranded swedish Ultra, and if the 4.4 is due to be released in late jan/feb, maybe Sony have forgotten my phone..:crying:

You're the second swede in here that haven't received 4.3, and since both Norway and Denmark received it a month ago, I'll conclude that Sony hates Sweden Sony and Ericsson did break up after all, so I guess Sony doesn't want to go back there and risk bumping into Ericsson. Awkward.
I assume you've checked PCC for the update, and that you haven't changed your CDA to a country that haven't received the update (a mistake I did).

I have not changed anything, it's all stock. Since I have a Mac, there is no PCC, only Sony Bridge for Mac. But no, no update there.. :S
Hi All
I was on facebook before, and someone asked on the Samsung UK page if they are going to update the S3 to kitkat
and they said it should be rolling out to users.
I have attached the screenshot

Galaxy S3 – We have received this update from Samsung and after our rigorous testing, has been approved and passed to Samsung for release. We hope for this to begin pushing out to O2 handsets over the coming week or two (hopefully before the end of the month) so keep your eyes peeled on your update screen. We'll let you know if there are any unforeseeable issues or delays that crop up.

We already know that US S3 will get the new update

By what i have read.. Galaxy S3 (international variant) has been pulled out from kitkat update list
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk
Honestly what interests me the most is the official kernel which should provide the official drivers so even if only the US variant gets the official update, shouldn't be that bad.

Not sure that would really help that much since the US variants use very different hardware (Qualcomm processor, Qualcomm Audio and Radio). It would only be useful if Samsung includes updated drivers for our international models.

Yeah.. I read the same somewhere else too...
Samsung says that it is because of the lack of RAM the international S3 has (only 1gb).
I don't know the real reason, though, as there have been many AOKP as well as AOSP for 4.4.2 and they are quite stable on S3.
Samsung Marketing reasons?
I guess... If at all the us variants gets the update.. With kernel source... developers can page it to the international varinats too

Yeah..lack of RAM because all **** preinstalated by samsung
