Bell Canada C6906 OTA for 290 this morning - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I received OTA notification for this firmware while ago. I was hesitating to upgrade to 4.3 due to lots of reported bugs. Would this still be the same case since it had same build number?

290 is 290, doesn't matter if it's carrier branded. Carriers will only add their own apps/etc to the ROMs, they won't be adjusting system-level stuff - that's Sony's job.
The only major bug I've seen people complaining about is Bluetooth issues.

Android 4.3 update, who's still waiting?

I know we have a lot of threads discussing 4.3 already, but those seem to be for people who have successfully downloaded it and worked with it. I'm curious to see how many others are still waiting on the update. I live in Canada and so far I've seen no sign of it, my device tells me I'm still up to date with 4.2.2. I don't have 3G but I regularly connect to WiFi.
It's not a very big deal... the update doesn't seem to have much that I need, except maybe a slightly faster speed when doing things. But yeah, I'm curious. Share your locations if you're still waiting.
EDIT: I really wish there was a way to edit the titles for threads...
EDIT 2: Thank you for that.

Im in russia with a UK model still waiting. Im too busy at the moment to actually flash it so im going to be patient and wait for OTA.
It seems we are always last on the list here to get OTA or any updates.
Could any Russian users post and let me know if they have the update
Kind regards
Richard
In in South Carolina and one of my N4 has gotten the update but my other N4 hasn't gotten it yet. And neither has my N7 for some reason.

Canada here,
Still waiting on my N4 and N7.
N4 is on and off 3G doesn't seem to make a difference.
Last time around, the N7 got it within the week and N4 had to wait 2+ weeks until it arrived.
Austria; 212K N4 (stock everything) still nothing ...
I am on a custom rom and I am too lazy to go back to stock. Would wait for a week untill PA or CM have cooked their 4.3 builds.
UK, London - Tried the framework thing - Nothing....
Phone bought in UK, using Norwegian sim-card. Now travelling in Europe. Have checked (WIFI) in Germany, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia. Still nothing.
Croatia still didnt get it hopefully soon
No updates in Bangladesh either...

got tired of waiting after the OTA zip was published. downloaded the thing and sideloaded it. easy as pie and stopped me from checking the damn system update like an addict
check the excellent OTA thread, it should be easy enough for moderately literate geeks to flash it in a breeze

I am waiting, but not for the OTA that arrived on my phone a couple of days ago. I am waiting for all the bugs to get squashed and for the apps to get updated to accommodate 4.3.
UK
In the UK just received the update
Austria. Got it offered today via OTA. Default System w unlocked bootloader. Installed wo problems.

New to andriod. Currently on mi9 rooted

I'm new and would like to know what is the difference between MI9,MJ5?, and KitKat. Performance wise, boltware, ect. I know the stock MI9 comes with whole bunch of craps preloaded. Does the mj5 n KitKat also has same apps preloaded? Thanks for your inputs. David
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk
Ml9 is almost the same as MJ5. Kit Kat has different looking UI and performance improvements.
As far as BLOATWARE. Most of that is from your carrier (At&t, T-Moble crap) All carrier phones mostly come with that crap.
mj5 ("J") means jellybean right? Or its just a improved version of mi9?

No, the J is the Month the Rom was released. So in the case of J, the 10th letter of the alphabet, coincides with the 10th month or October.

Should I wait for the next update for fix the current bugs in 4.3?

Is it recommended that I wait for the next 4.3 update that is supposed to correct some of the issues seen in the current 4.3 update? Don't wanna update to a host of new bugs when nothing is really wrong here.
Since I got the phone this week, I immediately upgraded to 4.3. Experienced no bugs so far. I've heard people talk about problems. But I haven't experienced anything specific or broken. I say upgrade.

No update of anything.after journalist version update?

I'm with bell Canada and they're pathetic when it comes to android updates. Official bell Xperia.Z version is still 4.1.2. So I went.ahead andnloaded the journalist version of 4.3 and.quite.happy with it so far. Battery life is good and.it's.very smooth.
Bit I get.no update of any apps in update centre since. Mycelium and.Walkman are.still in version 7 whereas version 8 is already out.
Why am I not getting any update notification?

You have no excuse for not using search button being with Xda for this while.
Its been told many times that no one knows how Sony deliver updates and no point of opening new threads for asking this type of questions.

Anybody received the update in the UK yet?

If it comes it will be like last updates I think. Will have it couple weeks then the kitkat update. If I was betting man, it maybe the UK jumps to kitkat. Of course last in line if unlocked.

I received it in Egypt about 3 weeks.. Maybe more..and it's known that all countries in the middle east receive the updates the last.. How come you didn't receive it yet!

It's the same Sony holding back the updates to sim free handsets in the UK because the networks want them first :-\
It reminds me of when I had the xperia s

Yeah it's crazy when we pay up front all the money for sim free. Then are left to last for updates.
