Is there a new update available? - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi to all members
I've read some users writing that they've got a new update, on the CH Generic if I'm not wrong. It allegedly fixes the lag and performance issues in the Kitkat update even though the build number remains the same. Anyone else got that update? I returned to 4.3 after having a couple of problems like performance issues, also the phone got quite hot after a while, but would love to return to 4.4 if this update will fix the above mentioned problems. Hope to hear if any of the members got the update and is it better optimized than the first 4.4 version. Greetings

See this thread for update info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/general/xperia-z-4-4-kitkat-update-t2639378/page111

a NEW 4.2 version? OTA Updates suck

I rec'd my Nexus 7 Tab a couple of weeks ago. Immediately there was a flurry of updates landing me at 4.2. Today I rec'd notice there a new update had been downloaded and was ready to install! The new version? 4.2.
After reading some of the woes others have experienced with 4.2, I'm wondering if I have a "different" version of 4.2 (that works just fine.)
The constant stream of OTA updates is a pain in the arse. Can we get on a 3 month release cycle?

December bug fix they had to release before December started hence the update, it isnt usually that frequent.

Sign up with Verizon. You will be lucky to ever get another Android update.
Is this a serious thread? You're actually complaining about updates?
You do realise that these updates improve your device (new features & bugfixes). Are they really that much of an inconvenience for you?
10 whole minutes of downtime. The horror!
Yeah buy any android device that doesn't have "nexus" in the name and you won't have to worry about android updates anymore...

LT30at Update Software (4.)

Yesterday I picked up my phone and noticed the Update icon in the Notifications window, and I excitedly tapped it hoping to receive the 4.1 update. To my disappointment, it checked for an update and then reported that my software is up to date. Not really sure what happened or why, but basically Software Update pulled a mean trick on me. So then I fired up Sony Bridge and USB'd my TL to my Mac thinking maybe they just notified me OTA but I needed to download and install with the program (similar to the initial 4.0.4 update for the ion), but it also told me my software is up to date.
Has anyone received the update for the AT&T Xperia TL? Has it even been released yet? It teased me enough that now I have been searching all over but I cannot find anyone else who had a similar strange experience as mine.
The 4.1 update has not been released yet. Sony has said it will do so within the next few weeks.

I have received an update but unfortunately came through the same predicament as you did. Bummer I know..
But knowing that it will be released in a couple of "weeks" hopefully, hope it doesnt go longer than months on end like the X10..

It is rather disappointing isn't it? lol
as long as it is released soon then i will be content with waiting, for now lol. it is February haha here's to hoping it comes this week!
Please dont get yourself worked up. The expected release is Q1 wich means it could be up to the end of march and still be ontime.
I do realise things seem to be moving towards an early update, but things may still change.
Also, if you are on a branded phone you need to expect up to 3-4 weeks (In some cases 2-3 months) after Sony release the update for the carriers to play with it and add their bloatware before releasing to you...

Yet another update from Google taking us to 4.4.2...!!

Yet again, google has released another update 4.4.2 This time updates are really coming super fast from google. But the question still remains to be seen: When google will fix the bugs faced by users constantly since it has launched KITKAT...??
Till now, google fixes some errors in new updates but other issues evolves as well. Nevertheless, nobody likes to escape from these updates. As earlier changelog is seen only as bug fixes and stability improvements. Do download it and let us all know what issues have been fixed and any new bugs are present....????
Here is the download link provided by xda super guys; It'll take you from KOT49E to KOT49H:

Already a thread here.

I'm really excited about 5.1 version, hope it will be something like Android 4.1 - much better Android 4.0.

That was ICS to JB this is still lollipop, i dont know if that makes a difference though.
Besides bug fixes and minor tweaks, i don't foresee anything that Android could come out with that would blow my mind.
Everything that could be done with a rom seems to have been accomplished. Now it's all just fancy bells and whistles on who can look prettier.
hope bug fixes

Hopefully RAM management will be fixed.

we are supposed to get silent mode back right. thats an additional feature being added not a bug fix.
According to Android Pit, yes, Silent Mode is back!
Silent mode added after missing on Android 5.0
General improvements in system stability
Improved RAM management
Fixes for sudden app closures
Improved battery management
Excessive consumption of network devices when used Wi-Fi fixed
Issues with wireless connections fixed
Problems with Okay Google function solved
Notifications problems solved
Some sound problems experience by certain devices fixed
Other improvements and changes
Changes in the Material Design color palette (after users complaints, possibly for a higher version though)

::edit:: these are rumors and not actual changes. Sorry. Silent mode is up in the air.
I'll be happy with some RAM/Battery management, but I doubt it comes too soon since we haven't got 5.0.2 yet.
As you can see 5.0.2 it´s only for tablets....
Definitely looking forward to ram & battery improvements!
Wooooow! I can't wait!
i can't wait. i hope it also fixes the gps issues that 5.0 brought to my phone (as well as a few others). I've had to roll back to kk for now
I expect a better manage for battery, since I have android 5.0.1 it consumes a lot of energy and drains my battery
Still waiting on the Camera2 API being put to use. I Wonder if this will be the first step before an update to the Google Camera app
Is there any clue as to when 5.1 could arrive? Now the news is in the open and the software seems operational, would it be a matter of days, weeks or months to arrive on Nexuses...?

It´s seems it will be available this month.
Sadly i don't think 5.1 brings any fix to memory leak and battery life. cos from 4.4.4 to 5.0 brings no improvements except material design. i don't want to rise my expectations cos i don't want big dissapointments.
Lol WTF man?

H87210h Update ?

I read that this update caused bootloop for some users. My concern is there's been no communication from T-Mobile! Now I am on H87210e. I bought my phone about a week ago. My first LG. I'm concerned if I should keep it or return it. I tried OTA and LG Bridge to no avail. I don't want to waste $500 stuck with a device that is known to fail! But I' don't like the S8 so idk what to do!
I've been on H87210h several weeks and not a single bootloop.
Yet the update isn't available to download or receive on LG Bridge lol.......perhaps you just haven't had a boot loop yet.
I haven't seen anybody in XDA report a bootloop. Don't know why you and some others can't download it. I've had the update since the day it came out and have had no bootloop problems.
Have had absolutely 0 issues with the update..

if that's what you believe, take it back. But your argument is flawed.

Been on update for a while and have had zero issues as well. Your reaching for something that isn't there..
I'm not reaching and there is no flaw. There's a reason an "update" is nearly 30 days old and you can't access it via OTA or LG Bridge - it's not like the G6 was flying off the shelf....and there are some users who have had issues after they update- you commenting saying you didn't doesn't negate theirs! Not a difficult thing to grasp.......
Just got off phone with @lguSAMobile and @Tmobile there is a KNOWN issue with the #LGG6 they are being mum about - and reason why all devices haven't got the latest update #H87210h and why it was halted @ #H87210e and why oTA or lg bridge won't give u the latest BUG FIXES and SOftware stability update! But they want "me" to spend my $ LOL - the resolution was TBD they don't know when the update will come....#TRASH
I guess #Bootloop is real, cracked camera, cracked back, just all cracked up. LOL argh - JAy Z...#ONtoThENextONe

Dude, just take it back if you're having grief. I've had no issues, running 87210h as well for weeks now.

Why do people comment they aren't having issues..... Completely missing the point of this information that there are people who are having issues, and the update status is ambiguous and MIA.
Mod Edit: Removed personal attack comments - please see forum rules
Just playing devil's advocate here. First off, that's a good thing if what you say is true. They aren't updating a phone to break, last time I checked that's called quality control. Secondly most people are XDA are interested in root, custom ROM's and such so keeping it on an older update gives developers time to find exploits. If you're interested in a stock updated and locked up phone you might like the S8. I'm not trying to argue with you but you really seem displeased with LG stopping a potentially fatal flaw on their phones. They don't have to explain why they won't update, Apple hasn't explained quality control issues on their phones for years. Just saying.
Thread cleaned and closed
Forum rules state personal attacks will not be tolerated
When this does happen, please do not respond but report
Thank you for your cooperation
