Are there any Information when the GPE will receive the Lollipop Update?
Since Sony is closely to release Lollipop for the Z-Line, it shouldn't be that far away...
Sony itself says: "The first device receiving Lollipop will be the Xperia Z U GPE"

What you posted is the only information I have seen so far. Sony has been quiet on any further details.

Google Play edition devices
Updates to Google Play edition devices are managed by the device manufacturers, not by Google. Google works closely with the manufacturers to provide system updates shortly after a new version is released. Once an update is available, it can take up to two weeks for it to reach your device. Google Play edition devices may not receive the latest version of Android if they fall outside of the update window, which is usually around 18 months after a device has been released.
Above paragraph copied from this link. https://support.google.com/nexus/answer/4457705?hl=en
Edit....I take the part about two weeks to refer to a staged rollout, and not two weeks from Googles release of the OS.
So what does that put the ETA at? 2 weeks from Nov 11 (n5 release) would put it today....

Yeah it would. I was hoping Sony would get this update out fast, but it doesn't look that way. The only play edition devices that have said much about their lollipop updates is htc. I'm assuming they will have submitted it to google any day now and get it out. I'm curious how fast after new android versions has the xperia z ultra gotten them?
Sony is starting to amuse me. Motorola already released an update, Nvidia also, HTC is very nearly there, and now I read that there is even a leak for Galaxy S5. Our GPe device still got nothing. Prompt updates? Yeah, right... They even didn't give us any info on update status.
And I thought Samsung took forever with updates...I mean atleast the GPE device Sony...why you so cruel?

Doesnt look like we will get latest android 4.3 for 2011 line up. The 2011 models are scratched by Sony. Only if few developers can port something for us.
If Xperia X8 got Jelly Bean running, I am sure some devs will port 4.3 onto our 2011 Xperias. Can't guarantee that it will work fast and be stable though.
1st of all, Android 4.3 is not even released yet. Even if it does get released, it will take maybe a few months before a developer actually succeeds at getting a working ROM.
Don't expect anything official from Sony.
sony are getting like Samsuck behavior-abandoned their old devices after making more new shining device..after all,xperia 2011 line are still in 'Ericsson'..hahah

This is a 2011 Xperia forum, so we are talking about 2011 Xperia devices, not 2015 ones.
Sent from LT18i with custom firmware by myself.
4.3 should work well on 2011, 4.2.2 (pac man) is not laggy on my xmp.
Since 4.3 is even lighter than 4.2, I'll say it will still work well, better I hope
4.3 will be probably come with less feature such as radio and camera in 4.2.2
4.2 is still not stable for our device, don't think 4.3 will be better despite being lightweight.

not all is about performance and lightness, may new android dosent support some hw-codes from our oldschooldevices, aloso we must think on camera, it was a long way to get it good working on cm10.1..... there also other problems, u can only tell if u get it boot on our devices (even this is hard devolpment..) but lets hope the best

... like said this u now only when 4.3 gets booted on our devices (and use many, many logs ) and i dont think so, the camera leaked from 4.3 worked for me on 4.2.2 but only bug was u cant see wahat u shot ... (small compared to 4.12 & 4.2.2 problems)
it think 4.2.2 is really stable only think may is battery drain if u heavy user...

Mike is already working on it
Sent from my ST15i using xda app-developers app
As of i know.... There will be a release of android 4.3 a.k.a CM 10.2 for our devices too..... coz I just saw a few videos where android 4.3 was installed in Galaxy Gio and galaxy SII
So Fingers crossed for the CM 10.2 to release for our devices as soon as possible
Chances are good. In first screenshots I saw that Android 4.3 is using kernel 3.4, the same as Legacy Xperia which is based on 4.2.2.
There is a chance that we may get Official CM10.2. :fingers-crossed:
Till then Mike is providing support for most of 2011 Xperias (LegacyXperia) :good:

i was @ SONY EUROPE LTD. headquarters here in berlin and asked about the drivers
1. it was really hard to find somebody who i can ask about that,,after some discuss with 2 ppl and the security man they only gave me a appointment. (for other day)
2. i was there. there was an guy who maked a cigarette break, and he was quite an asshole (sry but its true.) he told me (in short) that i would be to much work to find these codes in sony bcuz our devices are old.
great sony. :thumbdown:

no wonder sony is going down... can't the people at sony search a little and provide us a fortune... i wish sony ericsson was still present
The facts is,
When Sony Ericsson turned into Sony, they spent plenty of money in development & production of new devices to make a fame in market; but kept the hardware same/old for successive devices. Now condition is, they have way too many devices to maintain & money to spend on software development & software distribution for all the devices manufactured so far. It's not economical for them to do so now but as we customers have spent our money into their devices, it's our right to ask for software updates. So now they are giving reasons only to avoid old customers.
Now 'Xperienced' customers avoid Sony.
Info varies, but last i heard the Lollipop upgrade was coming in late march. Its approaching and will pass within 2 weeks. My question is how are RUUs released? Can we expect it to be available around the same time the ota surfaces?

Well now im wondering if it were to come tomorrow, should i update?
We can have s-off for a fee but i noticed on the sunshine thread people were waiting to use it because they updated. Im not sure its worth the 25 bucks for me but also dont want to update then possibly regret it...
Right now im just searching for more info. Not even sure i need to return to stock to run sunshine but after trying the installer i now know i need to uninstall xposed.

I already own HTC One M7 and I have CM12 on it.
My Desire 610 will be stock and that's that. I don't care about anything, just need that Lollipop update.
Also I think that the release won't be this month. Probably the end of April but it's only my assumption.
Hopefully it's wrong.

Wouldnt surprise me. Originally sources stated the 3rd quarter of 2015 then someone here said march, and when i checked that was also true???
As far as s-off...im on the fence. Having it doesnt mean instant development of custom roms. This phone's coming up on a year and i get the feeling that ship has sailed. Essentially looks like itll be stock anyways. I only get the red message when booting to recovery so $25 isnt justifiable. But im hoping to have a reason to get it soon...
Well they missed the target with lollipop in march and now we're approaching mid April...of course this isn't news to most all of you but when I go to HTC ROM downloads site I see that ruu hasn't changed in a long time. Anyone know how that works? Do they only release certain updates in ruu format?
I'm just wondering if they'll put it on the site in a timely fashion or if I'm better off locking it up again and unrooting to take the ota...

We would sooner get 4.4.4. Lollipop is just a fantasy on this device unless someone builds it for us.
http://htcsource.com/2015/01/leaked-document-reveals-htcs-lollipop-update-roadmap/
This is Not the particular article I read but if I find it I'll post it. Seems the device is more than capable of running it. I don't understand the business aspect entirely but I think since its still a relatively new phone they'd want to push the latest os.
Edit--most definitely right in assuming we won't be getting it soon. I remember reading awhile back 610 would be getting it in the 3rd quarter (probably early fall?) But then someone posted a "leak" here saying march or April the latest. Of course I was willing to believe. Now I see a schedule that puts us in what looks like the 4th quarter! Who knows...I think we'll get lollipop, I'm just not certain I'll still be using this phone when we do.

I think that leaked schedule online is accurate (which means I may not be using lollipop) I can't justify buying it now but I'm considering an s4 from swappa. Its not a definite but if lollipop doesn't come till around Xmas...that's a long time to wait. By that time other users might be anticipating the next OS!

Agreed this 509 firmware is stagefright patched and was built like 5 weeks ago and its 5.0.2 I think this is all were getting and since the Z4v is no longer coming out I belive 5.0.2 is the end of the road for the Z3v. This 509 firmware is good though.
I can understand your frustration, but I wouldn't take it for 100% that Sony is intentionally excluding the Z3V... They will probably send the marshmallow firmware to Verizon, and because of that, we'll probably never receive it unless we get a lucky leak, but I doubt that because I don't think it'll even be a candidate for Internal Testing as I'm sure Verizon plans to push Lollipop, fulfill their year old promises, and be done with their EOL device.. so even if Sony does send them the firmware, Verizon is most likely going to sit on it until it's buried... But you have to think with articles like these, even if they are press statements from Sony, it's still likely that they could leave out the Z3V unintentionally because even though its a variant of the Z3, by saying the Z3 is getting the update, they could be collectively including the Z3V along with that... but either way, I agree that we'll most likely never get this update, and that sucks.... But I do think Verizon is going to give us the latest Lollipop for sure.... There's no reason not to jump it to 5.1.1 if Sony gave them the firmware, it's not a major update... I think they just wanted a solid Lollipop build in "testing" (an intentional leak out there to collect usage stats from people bold enough to flash it) with stagefright patches, etc to make sure they had a solid build before putting the finishing touches on the firmware. There is a different Kernel in the .509 version than the .485, as well as some other interesting differences that make me think they're gearing it for the latest Lolllipop... and really as long as we get that with working VOLTE.... I can be happy enough with that.

the thought did cross my mind that they would update 509 the rest of the way to 5.1.1 now that stagefright patch is out for z3 5.1.1 because it may be bad for business to have us on firmware we shouldn't have. I don't even care really Verizon made me sick with this shiit I guess I have to get a nexus phone next but I'm not doing that till they firgure out how to but an SD card in a phone. And thank you for your work and getting the ball rolling on Lollipop.

Also quick charge 2.0 is a listed feature- it's not. Verizon = Liars. Look at the Z4v that's a disaster to.

I am pretty tough skinned, it takes more than what you said to be considered "rude" to me.
I agree B.S. what VZW has done with the Advanced Calling 1.0, I am tired of getting the stepchild phones and VZW keeping us from getting the next OS release due to heavy-handed control. I mean Z3 getting a beta test for Marshmallow, seriously? Maybe the guy who got the leak can get Marshmallow leak, but I would like to have the latest OS if possible and I am sure others will agree.
An AOSP with a unlocked bootloader, I miss those days.

Man it was so great to have the Droid when it first came out. ROM competition was tremendous and you could lead anything you wanted; if you could dream it, someone was already working on it.

I have a similar experience. My last phone was a Galaxy Nexus, it was an embarrassment of riches as far as being able to modify it. Different ROMs everywhere you looked, modified kernels, etc... Thanks to baldwinguy77 I was running KitKat 3 days after Google introduced it, even before any manufacturers had released phones with it.
The Xperia's lack of popularity with the general public is probably the cause of it's noticeable lack of developer interest. Few devs have one so few work on it.
I really like the phone, it's battery life is second to none. I may have to be satisfied running Lollipop but at least it is rooted so there's that.
The same page that posted and then deleted an image (see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/m4-aqua/general/android-6-marshmallow-m4-t3205768) related to updates to Sony Xperia devices published today (06.10.2015) a list of 14 devices that will receive.
The post is says:
"With the arrival of Android 6.0 Marshmallow, we received many questions about our devices that will be updated, so that's the official list:
[devices]
The dual-SIM models of these devices will also be updated. We are working hard to ensure that this Chege update in as many devices as possible, as fast as we can.
We will release more details about the improvements and new developments that the new version will bring the Xperia devices soon, so keep an eye! "
As we can see in the list, it seems that the update will come first for the dipositivos series Xperia Z, and then M5, C5, M4, C4. I think that more devices will receive this update, this seems to be the first who will receive.
Thanks for reading.

I made a petition about our favorite phone to get another update from Sony.
You can sign here
Phone/ROM-related petitions never work. Plus we won't have 100K people signing it - XDA isn't as big as you think, and people outside XDA just don't care or don't even know what's Marshmallow at all.

[WARNING: XDA Premium 4.0.13+ lacks Signature function - do not update]
It never work or never tried.....i think xda is big enough...people will start knowing about marshmallow and regular people also like updates....maybe in a long run Sony will change its mind...who knows....it never hurt to try..does it .

I'm not saying that Sony won't change its mind under certain influences, just that the influence won't be a petition which can only gather merely thousands of votes in months.

Well, companies have their own practices and strategies....merely left behind certain product will sometimes benefits that company for a long time even some owner not happy about it....i think i understand some avid users will do this to get attention...but i also know why big company will not listen...maybe they care, maybe they don't but i think if you want to apply updated program or software to certain device is expensive....to want a profit, they need to do this i think...left the product that users a gradually left behind....
Why is having marshmallow important anyway? Nothing after android 4.3 really impressed me. Every new version is buggy and harder to root and the next version tries to only resolve those bugs and introduces other bugs. But I wish you well with your goal and I hope your petition works.
like I said before in another thread. I love my ultra and how it works on KitKat 4.4.4. the battery last longer and some apps work on KitKat that don't on lollipop. I've been on lollipop 5.0.2 rooted and on 5.1.1 rooted and I didn't like it and went back to KitKat 4.4.4. KitKat work very good with my ultra and i'll stay on it till it quits working or sell it. so I don't care for lollipop and marshmallow
I don´t think enough Ultras were sold to start a petition...
does GPE edition gets Android M?

Not according to Sony themselves, but that could change. Don't expect it though.
I though GPE update are handled by google. If nexus 5 is getting Android M, no reason why others s800 phones can't.

Yup, and that's why we have no freakin' idea if it gets M. I sure hope it does, but it's impossible to tell. We'll notice in a week or two though. Cross your fingers!
go to sony official blog. the chance to be heard are bigger there. it's useless making a petition for this kind of issue.
I think, this is pure speculation, GPE has to be joint effort between Sony and Google.. Sony provide the bootloader and kernel and probably recovery too.
Google can then take a bootable platform and build Android on it.

I think another question should be whether xzu owners would be willing to pay, say, $10 for an upgrade. I would.

Sony released the 6.0 binaries earlier this week, which are proprietary Sony drivers which allows ROM developers to get AOSP running on our devices, so maybe they gave those to Google too, so they can port 6.0 to the GPe(?). I don't know. I'm not sure how the GPe program works at that level, so I guess all we can do at this point is to wait and see. (Give it 2-3 weeks)
So does anyone know if GPe version of Z Ultra is getting Marshmallow? I can't find info on this..If they get it, it can be ported to regular XZU as well, right?
