4.3 for Xperia C by July 2014

hi good news for xperia c users
Sony is Up dating 4.3 for Xperia C by July 2014
Android 4.3 update for numerous Xperia smartphones
Thanks to our source over at Sony India we have been able to get some new information on the long awaited Android 4.4 and Android 4.3 update for numerous Xperia smartphones. The leaked document shows the status 13 Xperia Smartphones that will get their software updates in the coming months, the most focused one is Xperia SP that is now listed to get the Android 4.4.2 update sometime in June – July. Along with the Android 4.4.2 update there are also some low end Xperia’s that will have to do with Android 4.3 which should be guessed as a final update for them. Have a look at the image below and see if your Xperia is the lucky one.
As you can see the document list’s the Xperia SP to get Android 4.4.2 as reported earlier, while for the Xperia L, T & Xperia C things will go only as far as Android 4.3 JellyBean. Also keep in mind that looking at the speed of Software Updates Sony is moving, there is no doubt that the wait can be longer than listed. Even the Xperia Z is waiting for the KitKat update when it should have had it long ago, the Xperia Z1 and Z Ultra are the only lucky ones till date but that’s no surprise as they were flagship devices until the Xperia Z2 was revealed back at MWC 2014. Stay tuned for more updates and let us know your views on this topic in the comments section below.
*Do remember that these leaks don’t turn out to be a 100% true at all times and hence we can’t be held responsible for what Sony decides.

its august, and still nothing from sony

Man. I already had this feeling about no updates for our device when I heard about the xperia c3.

No update
I think no update for our xperia c:crying:

No update
I think there would never be an update for our XC. Unless someone would give us a port of 4.4 or even 4.3. Well what's new about sony? They tend to abandon their devices. Lucky for them they still have loyal Xperia'ns like us to buy their products. LOL

We don't need sony to give 4.3 update. We just need sony to give us update to unlock our device's bootloader. If we can unlock bootloader then we don't need sony to give us 4.3 update anymore as we can create our own custom roms

I don't think we will get any update in the future, no 4.3 no unlock boot loader

Android 5.0 Lollipop for Xperia M2

Hello guys. Do you know if Android 5.0 will be released Lollipop for our device?

It won't.

Why wouldn't it?

I don't know if Android 5.0 Lollipop is going out for our Xperia M2, but, as far I know, there's a limit to a 18 months for develop a new Android Operative System, so, it'll be slow, but, I'm sure that it'll be Android 5.0 (It isn't a bad device, it has great specs, not like a Xperia Z2, but still, it's the same as Moto G and its device is going to get Android 5.0 (Clean AOSP, but, either way, there's no possibilities for no Android 5.0)).

I'd say it will be. the M2 is a 2014 device, pretty recent, plus qualcomm should be updating binaries for the M2 (it has the same chipset as the Moto G with LTE which IS getting the upgrade)

No forget that Moto G has clean AOSP so, it's natural for them get the updates too much soon than us xD. Moto G users doesn't even need to wait too much. We must wait for Sony "develop" the new UI and also other things based on compatibility, which takes more time and can even deny the deveolpment for Xperia M2.
But, either way, I think is coming, there's no much difference between other phones that it has Android Lollipop updates

probably cyanogenmod will be the fastest way to get 5.0

m2 will not be getting the L update
just had this from sony themselves so its official the m2 will not be getting the update cant say as im happy think ill be unlocking bootloader and rooting now stuff the warranty....

Nonsense.... This is the only thing I'm gonna say to Sony after reading that message. They're just trying force us to buy a Xperia Z series, just to get Android 5.0?

That's just the first list. Wait!!

The guy of the Sony chat responded to me (in Dutch) he thinks Android L will be released for our phone! He's not sure, but he supposes so.

Well good news ^^
According to this:

Sony xperia m2 will get update to 5.0 by March-April 2015

i wish april 2015 would come like yesterday man, android L is the best!

dont believe a word of that list as it also says that the m and sp will get it they wont even get kitkat. i asked sony themselves and they quite clearly stated only the z series will get it

This information is false and misleading. Author says only that he hope to see android update on non-Z devices. Learn to read.
This is official Sony statement http://blogs.sonymobile.com/2014/10...d-5-0-lollipop-to-the-entire-xperia-z-series/
Don't spam anymore.

maybe they would surprise. because same chipset as Moto G, 2014 phone, and got 1GB RAM. not much reason why not update to Lollipop. however, its Sony's final decision to allocate for the development of this, or simply just say cannot and you guys just upgrade to Z series.

Why would yous need official lollipop lads? If I could, I would make custom lollipop and I would depend on them, but I'm not that good with developing for android yet :/

And that is most likely the reason why people want the official lollipop. They are not experienced developers including myself and who knows if and when an unofficial custom ROM arrives... And an official release actually speeds up the development of custom Roms especially with released sources.

Z3 Develping

Hi all user
I want to buy z3 ( d6603 ) but i scared about 1 think , just supported from Recognized Developer / Recognized Themer
If they develope z3 , it was very good but as i see until now , they didnt it
i uncertainty a lot to buy z3 or not while i love z3 but 1 think is very important for me , just support and developed from good developer and received good custom rom ( stock base ) and good mod
any one can make me clear?

I'd wait until CM12 is released...the phone can be easily unlocked and the hardware is really standard so everything suggest it will be widely supported in the custom ROM community.

There is no reason for big development at the moment, better to wait until Sony release stock lollipop and until CM12 be more usable.

Yes i know dears but i mean , do you think , z3 has a good develop at future ? ( good custom rom from stock base and good mod , good kernel , ....) ?
( you think we can root on LB )

Any thing else?

Well, its been a few months and there is still no root exploit for our Z3. He may be trying to say that development and research focus may go towards the Z4 when it is released. Give it some more time and hopefully the Z3 development will be able to shine!

4.4.4 can be rooted only in unlocked bootloader because there is no root exploit for 4.4.4. In previous Xperia phones, root method for 4.4.4 based on flash kernel from 4.4.2 with root exploit -> root ROM -> flash 4.4.4 kernel.
Xperia Z3 was released straight with 4.4.4 and there is a problem.
With lollipop can be even a more problems, because of better implementation of SELinux.

Yes for now cant root on LB but in future be sure we can root it on LB , then maybe develope is good for z3

I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss the 3 for the 4. If we use history as our guide, Sony's incremental changes for devices usually aren't massive, understanding that they'd be stomping over their previous flagship release. I can certainly be wrong, but I don't know how compelling the new device will be. I bet z3's will increase in popularity too... since the price will be dropping.

No Official Lollipop for Xperia M2 (CONFIRMED by SONY)

Hello there!
I have bad news... As you saw in the title, there won't be any official release of Lollipop for any NON-Xperia Z range smartphone, like M2, M2 Aqua, E1, E3, T2, T3, C3, etc...
Here the proofs:
And this is happening while the Moto G is updating to Lollipop officially via OTA.. Good job Sony, you did it again! :good:

If the confirmation isn't revoked. Mmm, they're pushing us to buy Xperia M4 Aqua instead or a Z series. Which isn't an option for everyone. This is bull****.
Either way, the work which galaxyfreak, erickas and FXP are doing is amazing. They aren't leaving us without any hope xD. Thanks to them :3.

Yeah, that's absolutely right, but a rom without camera or with random reboots it's not stable for daily use rom... That's why I went back to stock, I couldn't use the phone normally with that..
Hope they can find a solution for them soon... That would give our Xperia M2 a new life.. A new start...

Totally right. But, the progress they've made is fairly enough. Camera is a pain in the ass, we all know that, but, still, the development makes some good progresses. So, still waiting. In some point they'll make it.

Sorry for asking!
Can you provide link where you found it?
They force us to buy much expensive Xperia Z series phones because of lollipop!!!!!
Screw you Sony
But I still have a hope, because M4 have lollipop(M4 does not belongs into Z series)
I also I hope for FXP team, ericas and galaxyfreak for Stable release... Keep the good work up (Y)
I would like to help them, but lack of skills and knowledge I can only hope
Maybe CM team take it their offical list...I hope!
And AGAIN!!!! SCREW YOU SONY!!!!

Obviously it's on their twitter. Then again, I knew this was coming, considering they pusged 3 updates for Kitkat. On other notes, erikcas managed to get deep sleep working, so only thing left is camera and FM

Been saying it since they confirmed it in a email almost 5mth ago but no one would have it. I was considering buying a second Sony device and a Sony smart watch to go with my m2. Don't think I'll bother now or if I do may have to consider another brand. also surely there is still 6mths of the 18mth update cycle left to run

Check in the screenshots that the kernel is from Dec 2014... IMO, that was actually a test to see how lollipop performed in mid-range phone. Maybe the experiment went wrong and that's why they are now telling via twitter there won't be lollipop for us... That's what I understand from this situation..
Edit: Also, still no new firmware certidied for Xperia C3..

It's only about the money they would have to pay programmers to prepare Lollipop update for mid-range devices.

Yep, they only take care of the Z series users.. Even though the original Z is now more than 2 years old, and the M2 less than one..

True, that's why ppl with Xperia SP scream in agony when they heard M2 is getting Kitkat, not SP

I've heard that french local authority can pursue a company who are setting voluntary a planned obsolescence, so why not using that against sony?
Sony did stopped the update, so that obsolescence, since Lollipop is here....

thats for cases when the company includes something in the device which stops it from operating. a phone with an old android version is still a working phone

Well, i think this news will make you happier guys!

This does not solve the lack of official Lollipop release for M2

There are better phones out there than the C, and also a lack of people who are able/willing to create and maintain a rom.

Xperia C 2305 doesn't support unlocking the bootloader and so it's pointless to make a custom ROM for the device as it wouldn't work.
That's why only themed ROMs would work on your device for now.
Frankly, since Android update policy of the device has expired, and it wouldn't get any updates possibly so..... It would never be possible. Unlock the bootloader and so.... . That's just that....
