News on software update - Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone have info on possible updates? 4.4.3 or 4.4.4, I here from searching that lower end models got an update but all seems to be quiet with the z2. I for one would like the double tap fixed, its the most annoying....

I only saw this:
http://www.xperiablog.net/2014/07/21/xperia-z2-tablet-firmware-build-17-1-2-a-0-314-certfied/
Dunno which Android version that is.

It shares the same version number than the Z2 phone, so 4.4.2 is expected.

still 4.4.2
Update Build 17.1.2.A.0.314
Android version ist stil 4.4.2, so we have to wait a little bit longer...

• Updates for Android 4.4 / Kitkat
• Various PlayMemories Online improvements
• Software performance improvementss
don't think is a mistake ... and is not possible 4.4 coming for our tablets ( right now )... when sony update every 3,4 months ...
is a simple update ... to the future maybe
Current info days 4.4 will come around March... Mid to end. That's just a guess from DooMLoRD

[Q] Over the air update?

Hi,
I have heard that omate features over the air update (maybe called OTA?), which I suppose should be easy to use. I want to ask - how can I check if a new OTA update is available? How can I check my current version?
Will such update preserve all my contacts and calendar appointments?
I have omate 8GB/1GB in Europe 2100. I have flashed it with firmware TEST_RELEASE_Omate_2100_TrueSmart_20140314.zip (btw, was there a new firmware released, and I maybe missed it?)

To search for OTA update go to settings/system/about TS/wireless update and click "check for update"
You don't have to check for (F)OTA, system will inform you if it discover update.
Over the air update or OTA is well known system of update in iOS and Android world and it's working quite good.
You won't lose anything, your data, contact, pictures and everything else will be preserved.
And no, even Omate promised to upgrade TS by the end of last month they didn't do that - why I'm not surprised?

The 'about truesmart' option is available in the original firmware settings.
your screenshot shows the default android settings menu, which makes me believe you are not on the official Omate Software, which means you do not get the official over the air update.

You are running some unofficial ROM. Maybe Dees Bluetooth Tether or Loki's Unified. I don't know. I think you have to get back to stock if you want it. I advise you not to, there's nothing that special in OTA. You are most likely safer now than with the update.
Hey,
got mine TS (1+8GB 2100Mhz) last week.
My firmare: Omate_truesmart_20140513.103530_V2.0.
No ota available? The message says no updates available?!
Latest Kickstarter updates says: Omate_TrueSmart_V2.0_20140527 were the latest update.
I am confused.
Any chance to get the firmware elsewhere?
There ate at least two different versions produced in May and they each have their own unique hardwares, which are incompatible with each other and both with any other firmware builds. The 0513 firmware on yours is the build for what is referred to as "third batch" and the 0527 is found on the last batch so far - 4th batch. Both are version 2.0 OUI builds, not OUI 2.1 and neither is any better than the other. Both have wide open insecurity and Bluetooth stack coding failures and so forth just as in the original firmwares from back in January. There has been NO progress made on improving the TrueSmart firmware so far.
Since these hardware revisions require incompatible firmwares (flashing the wrong one will softbrick your TrueSmart) and there is no way to tell them apart, development of replacement firmwares has pretty much halted.

we have :
android 4.4 , B007 and B010 firmware
android 4.2 , B007 and B013 firmware
R001 of your filename let think's it's android 4.2 , but why B008 ? B013 is available .....
(and C233 is for china market with chenese apps )
ps : my phone ( 7d-503L in 7d-503LV100R002C233B010 android 4.4 EMUI 2.3 ) did not found new update
Ooops. Darn auto correction.
Of course this would not show up as an update on devices already on 4.4

I have a 7D-503L. Currently installing 15 Aug KK update B10.
Is it 503L or 501?
impossible to install
I went from boo2 to boo7 same Chinese version, the site instructs to use Sim for upgrade but links for software won't work . page needs translation and is almost impossible to upgrade thru site ,very dissatisfied with site,soon as I can find recovery software am going to version bo10, no way to go from boo7 to boo8
if the system was Rooted, the download fails.
Must reset the system then the download works.
For information there is a slight update with no visible change. The system retains the previous settings.
Thanks for the tip.
Reset how? Just stop super su and reboot?
Or actually factory reset? (that would be too much effort...)

I have a French phone and that appears like this:
"Paramètres / Sauvegarder et réinitialiser / Restaurer les valeurs d'usine."
I suppose :
Settings / Save and Reset / Reset to factory defaults.
Was afraid of that.
I will wait to hear from more feedback from users. As is, I will probably revert back to B006. Wifi 5GHz did not work but GSM connectivity was outstanding. Or as you would say fantastique!
B008 works great! Yes its a step backwards from 4.4 to 4.2, but the lag with the B007 is much less now, it feels pretty snappy, as good as the B010 (4.4)
However wifi and 3g seem to be much improved! Especially for me in the USA. Yes! this is a huge thing for me!
320DPI is awesome again and I can install all those apps that weren't compatible before with the 400DPI 4.4 roms.
This is the best version for the 503L. forget B010...

I noticed that too but to me that's pretty much it.
no other notable changes from the B007.
Obviously, it is still better than the b010 :good:
So, I've installed the full ROM from the EMUI site.
All data including root survived!!
I haven't had any Wi-Fi issues. Can confirm that 5GHz is still there. GSM will be checked during the week.
One thing I have noticed: GPS which was always good, definitely got better. More than a meter from the window, where I previously could not get a fix, I get a very goog one within seconds.
Added:
Seems like brightness adjustment has been tweaked towards the lower setting (=brighter).

Still sitting on R002,B010 and dealing with the 400dpi.
Just wondering if you still feel B008 is better than KitKat B010?

For me B008 was a huge improvement over B010.
B010 has a really snappy feel to it, performs good and eliminates the lag after opening the lock screen.
That's it however...
B010 has issues with...
Wifi and 3G signal cutting out frequently
400DPI (Makes a bunch of app incompatible)
Apps shutting down in the background after a while (You wont get messages from people on data services like, Whatsapp, Line, etc...)
My biggest issues was the signal drops, those are far less frequent on B008, Yeah there is more lag and performance issues, but it is a much more functional rom and is probably why its the newest rom they have put out...
Thanks! I just downgraded to B008 and so far it is a huge improvement over B007. Much smoother and the DPI issue makes it a fair tradeoff for KitKat.

Stock recovery and CWM recovery 7D-503L 4.2.2
Hello good. I have the 7D-503L MediaPad X1 android version 4.2.2 (B008). The strange thing is that I get the "build.prop" file that is in the system folder as (ro.build.product = hw 7D-501L). All updates are for 7D-503L. Anyway, I lost the stock recovery with which I can not install the custom recovery.
As much as I have researched I can not get a picture of the stock recovey nor custom CWM recovery for this verision and I need to update, backup, etc.
Does anyone have them? It could flash recovery? .If So could pass me.
Thanks and greetings to all
Hmm just realized I never reported back on GSM phone performance of B008: not as good as B006 was, but MUCH better than B007.
@menradio
idem for me, I have the same reference. Yet, it is, indeed, a 503L.

Latest Firmware Update by Samsung ...

Hey all ...
I juz received a software update on my Note 7 (SM-N930FD) ... it's 196Mb update and has the latest Android Security patch with many UI changes and tweaks like changed drop down notifications (like Android Nougat), smaller app icons in folders etc etc ...
Important thing is that after the update, the over all smoothness has been much much fluent and battery life is significantly improved ...
Taste of Nougat ....

I can confirm the device is much smoother since upgrading, you can now change the screen resolution in the settings menu. Battery life seems much better then before. Ram management seems the same but I need to play with it a bit more.
Nice sounds like a good update
I hope t-mobile gets it soon!
Ram Management is improved but No Huge Improvement is what I can see ...
Aggressive background apps shut down is not there now but it still needs work to be done in order to meet the standard of multitasking that the device of this calibre and specs should have ...
But overall ... This new update seems to be what the phone would have been carrying out of box as most of us bought our phones way earlier than the official launch by Samsung in our corresponding regions ...
Finger Print ...
Finger Print is hell faster with this new update ...
Juz tap it when the screen is locked and unlocking is done straight from it ...
Very fast indeed ...
Huge Improvement ...
Can this be loaded to a N930F? Thanks!!!
can any one post the video... with new software update
I just got my device and updated it straight away and performed a factory reset. I also have the duos version but I think it only presented me with a 186Mb update.
Hi, need some guidence here please. So I just flashed the XSG firmware to my N930F and it's a multi CSC - take a look at the screenshots. The installed firmware is APGK but it seems there's the new BPH6 firmware available, but my phone is not finding it. Is this normal? Could the update be available for another CSC code but not mine?
Thanks for the help!!
I'm getting mixed signals here. In one thread, there's people saying games work very poorly after the update - but everyone saying it's working better with it - can you all report on how games are performing? Apparently you notice a difference after 10+ min of play on the octo core processor.
This BPH6 software update screw up alot of Note 7 N930FD for Singapore users, check the Note 7 Singapore thread, so becareful with this update.

Because Nougat isn't out for Note 7 yet, and won't be for quite some time.

What he said, plus the steps needed to root each version of Android changes. So it is absolutely impossible to know until the time comes. It had always been best practice to avoid taking an update until it is known about the rootability of that firmware.

What's the latest android version for the nx506j?

Hello everyone.
I'm asking this because i'm interested in buying this phone and in one store it say that it come with android 5.1 but I can't find record of that update anywhere, every source I've consulted says it's stuck on Kit Kat and that there are no plans of updating. Can anyone confirm this?
Also what do you think of the phone, from what I saw it seems to perform quite well and should be a good upgrade from my LG E975, but I'm also a bit torn because I can get an ASUS ZenFone 2 Deluxe for around the same price, both heavily discounted.
Thank you and Happy Christmas

Dont worry. Its normal for china phones to not have play store pre-installed. And also dont worry about non showing update. You need to update via pc first (because it repartitions your storage) Do you have the normal z7 (Nx506j)? Or do you have the mini or max version?
Yes I do have the normal ZTE Nubia Z7 with Nubia UI v2.6.2, Android 4.4.2, Build Number NX506J_CNCommon_V1.26 and Hardware Version NX506JMB_B
