Which firmware you are on?
If you are rooted you can flash firmware update via OTA.

It's a very small update but as Greg has said, don't even bother, if you're rooted and using a custom rom then wait for them to release an update, personally I don't think it's going to change much but it'll be up to the dev's to implement it.

I don't think any devs will release an update for it, its such a minor update (1.8mb) whats the point in making a new (almost) 1GB rom for it....

Yea haven't bothered with it myself, think this phones just about peaked. Unless they're going to give some of the Z2 features which we know our phones can handle, be a shame on Sony's part if they hold off things like double tap to wake and I think even timeshift @ 60fps would work too.

I telling you, they holding all this features to have the gap between Z1 and Z2. They have do this to sell the Z2 as best flagship and Z1 remain good for others who not pretend much. It's a political overtake move.

Right ok, For me good business is doing things that puts faith in your customers not take it away, least of all when Sony haven't got the best history of quality devices, x10, Xperia S. Both utterly awful phones, they've brought back a lot of custom since the T and the Z so for them to pull a move like holding back features which are quite capable of being put on previous flagship devices like the Z1 and the compact to me is ludicrous business sense, especially as theres only 5 months between the devices and even less for the compact.
If it was a hardware limitation then fair enough, but these aren't so actually it's not a completely common sense business move at all. It's a sly rabbit punch that isn't remotely hidden and everyone knows it, DT2W is on several phones now, timeshift has been proven to work on the Z1, albeit at 45fps, i'm sure that Sony could have made it happen on the Z1.
Makes no difference to me anyhow, the second I'm able to buy the oneplus i'll be flogging this phone anyway.
Well, we will have to agree to disagree,
I had the X10, still have it, and love it.
I made allready an update following nut"s guide, its based on the. 761 nórdic firmware.

More like "quickest at shoveling a crappy update out the door". Take any Samsung update for a major Android OS, and add at LEAST 3-6 months before it's even remotely stable.
ICS on the I9100 was an utter and total ****fest of epic proportions... It didn't stop being a ****fest until many other manufacturers started deploying ICS.

Miracast ? That should work via DLNA right ? Sony's mirroring doesn't !
Sony's Miracast works exactly like Google's. DLNA doesn't do live streaming, it only streams existing files.
There is almost nothing new in 4.2 for Xperia users, Sony did the most important things before Google even announced them.

I wouldn't cry too much to get Android 4.2.1 or 4.2.2 because that bug ridden piece of junk introduces bugs of it's own, including the infamous and absolutely infuriating Wifi bug where Wifi stops working when you turn the screen off and notifications for GMAIL WHATSAPP etc stop working until you turn the screen back on.
No fix in sight for that either, it's the main reason I ditched my Nexus 4.

Well of course "apple are the best". They never even let you know a new OS is coming so why would you say they are slow, right?

Different strokes... Wait until you take a picture on the Nexus 4 (or from what the specs say the 5). Unlike the Sony, it is truly horrible camera.
The trick is never buy a subsidized phone, then it won't be simlocked or bootloader locked. That was an option with the Xperia T. I picked up mine for $279 at newegg.
The camera on my t is rubbish. When you take a video all you can here is a clicking noise from the camera

thats your problem?
Maybe the Xperia T LTE is the one getting 4.3 update. I think the 3G one will not get the update. Maybe i'm wrong.
Neither are just like what happened to my play. A phone with specs good enough but not given the updates on purpose. If sony want to gain the market they need to release 1 flagship a year and support their previous flagships for longer than 5 months. The galaxy s3 is older and is getting android 4.3 and why aren't we?

Because no update to new version and sony bad, nexus cool because google. New version is good, because it keeps on battery half hour longer/lasts shorter but better. And profiles/new function in camera which i will use two times in my life/better integration with google plus omg! And no new version means that flagship abandoned. I am betrayed. sony bad.
To be honest i don't understand it too. When it comes - it comes. If not - who cares. Update from 2.3 to 4.0 was a big deal, because everything changed. API, nature of Android etc. GB slowly died and became incompatible with many interesting apps.
But update from one jelly bean to another? Dudes... It's only features!
Please just be happy that Sony released quite recent well written Android version. It's highly optimized and allows to do almost everything that is available to 4.2 and 4.3 devices..

Bootloader unlock issue.* There is nothing wrong with the bootloader itself.
But yeah it is frustrating to see them release an AOSP project for a low-end device like the Xperia L, while the flagship Z1 is still waiting. If I am to speculate I believe it literally is the issue with the current camera drivers, and I think we'll see an AOSP project for Z1 as soon as official 4.3 is released.

Despite the fact that it's really not an upgrade to go to S5, Samsung looks like sh1t compared to Z1 Z1 is a classy phone that looks good even if you're a businessman. S5 is a phone for people who just care about performance, that's my opinion.

You do NOT need to unlock the bootloader to gain root.
You do not void your warranty as rooting is a two way process
Also, as for guides...please search there are literally hundreds, if not thousands, of posts explaining how to do it. (I myself write it about 4 times a day, so one more wont hurt)
1) Flash a FTF ending in 534 for your phone (Find files and instructions in the mega collection thread in the general section)
2) Instal Dual Recovery (Find files and instructions in the dual recovery thread in the cross device development section)
3) Flash a 757 pre-rooted ROM of your choice (Find them in the development section)
Done
Thanks a lot,
One more thing I don't like In sony devices their software never bug free and launcher not so smooth/tweaked, wallpaper scrolling like less fps, touchscreen start miss after 2 days, I restart my phone then touch screen runs fine for more 2 days..
These Things Sony always fail to provide better software, waited 2 years but still sony behaves like noob,
Hardware wise like camera sound no doubt, it's nice. But software always buggy.

s5 is a bit better in performance but seems quite few that u cant feel the difference
z1 got a better camera and more stylish in my opinion
also the sony audio effects (u might be able to flash them on samsung anyway)
Z1 is a good phone, and if you like it, then don't upgrade to a new phone and wait till there is a phone you really want.
Guys is the touch screen dsync issue normal? I get it very slight, after 2 days I need to restart my phone to fix it, then it works fine.. Touch screen dsync issue is always happens it happens very less, mostly after 2 days of restart..

If Sony wants to to remove the "Sony doesn't update old devices " tag they have, they need to update the original Z line (Z, ZL, ZR and Tablet Z) to it. But, as off now, no news regarding Nexus 4, which has the same processor as ours. Let's wait until Sony give us a pronouncement regarding that...

If Sony would support our Z for the 18 months, there is a possibility that we might get it.
They really need to get rid of their "bad" image regarding updates.
Doesn't matter either way, would be nice to run it, but the fact is some of the benefits won't be there for our hardware, and most of us will be due a new phone by then.

anyone able to get the hardware requirements? @kingvortex i know it's great, it's my first flagship device i am really happy with all the updates and roms and developers and stuff.
so you guys definitely think we will be able to run android L with or without sony?
Without, I'm sure. With Sony? Maybe not so fast. System Requirements, weren't even mentioned. But it will be running on phones cheaper than the Moto E, which is already extremely cheap by itself, so I think the Xperia Z (and brothers) will handle it just fine.

Don't expect much, the Z already got 2 updates. 4.3 and 4.4. Sony thinks their job is done now. We could just run an AOSP build once they're running.

Yeah, but the problem with AOSP is bad Google camera (no Sony camera ported yet) and no FM radio
Kexec is very close to complete functionality for the Z1. This will enable unlockable Xperias to run any custom kernels
This is the thread on Kexec if you're interested in keeping up with development. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2495152

Android L is said to come to Xperia Z officially.. Probably the last update.. But i think its a major upgrade in terms of UI.. Its already known that Android L's UI includes a lot of Sony APIs and CM APIs.. With LG also working along, i think it will be very good.. And 4.4.2 was a initial major upgrade from Jelly Bean fw's.. And things got well in 4.4.3.. I think Android L would be less buggy and would bring more performance and system stability because of ART only.. I think it will be a big upgrade..

But i am sure it WILL.. Coz XZ is a premium device under Z2 and ZU.. And SP too..
Android L is so freaking fast and nice, just flashed it onto my N5.
It simply has to come to the Z.

So, a guess from a random website based on what Sony did with KitKat. Previous update schedules don't affect the likelihood either way of getting newer versions of Android.

It would be great, but I have doubts that it will. HTC are talking about providing it for some of their devices 90 days after release. If Sony were to even follow such a fast schedule then it takes us well outside of the supposed 18 months of support for Android devices.
I hope they surprise us though. ?

IbTimes is a trap site... Just don't trust anything that comes from them...
