Anyone Receiving OTA Build Update?

I'm in the US, and I check the 'Software Update' daily and aren't getting the new build. I'm currently on 7.0.A.1.307

You have to wait untill its released for you. The relaese depends on your region and which carrier you are on.
However, you can flash the latest firmware 7.0.A.3.195 if you want. Just download one of the many versions from the all in one thread in the Q&A section

Thing is I purchased a SIM-unlocked TX from an online retailer and am using it in the US. It looks like TX development is a bit waning compared to the T. Might it be a goid idea to switch to the T?

A new build was approved for the TX (see here: http://www.ptcrb.com/vendor/complete/view_complete_request_guest.cfm?modelid=22200) but I can't seem to find it.

"certified" does not mean that push update for us. we only should wait

[Q] Anyone tried 'Social Life' app from Sony on Xperia T

http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/software/phones/xperia-t/
On that page is states..
•The new application, Socialife gives you all the information from your social networks in one glance, just download it from Play
I have tried installing it several times, both on European JB and now on UK JB, and on running it always gives 'An error occurred' which quits the app when pressing 'ok'.
Anyone managed to get this app to work on their Xperia T?

yes, the uk fw is uploading in 2 parts
one upload encountered some issue and never completed though file was present online. Didnt want to take a risk if its incomplete..so reuploading from scratch.

Just installed it on the rooted Europe fw, same error on UK too, maybe not quite ready and small patch due.

ok. Then its not me.
btw, how did you get rooted JB? is it the rooted, deodexed rom which is on the forums?

Yep, works beautifully.(by this I mean the Rom, sociallife does not yet work, but I imagine the working version will appear in update centre when available)

Only Sony and/or your provider can confirm that, but even then it would be nice if you could tell us what version are you on now? You don't even tell us that so how are we meant to help you......

Oh sorry! Haha I'm on 4.2.2 at the moment. When do you think the UK will get a 4.3/4.4 update

Why don't you just use Flashtool to get it to your phone using one of the available ftf's ?
Here is a video on how to do that:

No I don't want to void my warranty by rooting. I am just wondering when I might get the update. Thanks anyways for your helps

Flashing with flashtool don't need root acces and it can't be detected.
You have to read before ask,you will have a reponse faster.
Read that ,if your Z1 is not on the list wait a week or two or flash with Flashtool

I would update through the PC companion. Many people seem to have encountered problems flashing with flashtool on this update. It was taking forever for the ota for me as well

When the Z1 first announcement it come with 4.2.2 already. So if he ask for 4.3 or 4.4 that meant he on 4.2.2 already.

reminder, there is no UK generic unbranded FTFs yet...

Whether you use UK generic or any other generic one does not make a difference whatsoever, but it's up to you.
I have never encountered any problems when using Flashtool. Just make sure to use the most recent version.

The 4.3 is avaliable so if you use OTA or SEUS you get it.
As for rooting, it doesnt avoid your warranty unless you remove the root and install a clean version when you deliver the device for repair or replace it.
Only thing that avoid the warranty is unlocking the bootloader.
Keep your .257 rooted version and wait for a rooted locked version for 4.3.
Btw there will come a hotfix version in January (newer 4.3) for Z1.
4.4 will come April/May i think...

No, you should download the ftf file and flash it via flashtool

Thanks StJimmy will do that now I just got to find the right. ftf file for MTN SA.

You're welcome. You can use any ftf file as long as it is for your phone (eg. C6603)

And what about custimisation numbers?

What about it? Flashing a different rom will change the customisation number. What's your point?

Hi again,
Does the flashtool give me an option to leave the customisation number out or how do I do this?
TIA

Don't worry about it. If you flash a different regions rom, your customisation number will change.
That has no functional effect on your phone whatsoever and it's not something that can be excluded from the flash as it's just a value in build.prop.

Now I'm confused

OK cool thanks Guv.

Don't be. The customisation number is part of the rom. Just don't concern yourself with it. As long as you flash a FTF for your specific model, then you'll be fine.

Thanks kingvortex,
I thought that the custimisation number was region specefict and thought that the netherlands had a different setting or something then the brasilian one for example

It is, but it doesn't matter. When you flash a different rom, the customisation number will change.
It's mainly used when checking for updates via the PCC or OTA, so you will receive updates for the current customisation version of your phone. As the OP has unlocked their bootloader, they cannot receive updates via those methods anyway.

Im in In the Southern part of Africa and at some point i was running a UK ftf and Netherlands too. What i was never sure of though was the labeling of network coverage. As in here it is LTE but the UK ftf i was using would say 4G. Anyway point is ftf from other country would work.
