it is a revision but...Sony might do some changes or fixes in this update
otherwise why sony bring this update.. if it does not have any changes....?

It will just have been an update to customisation of the rom. That is the region specific included software and settings. If the main software version number doesn't change, then no bug fixes etc will have been made.

Maybe it's a preparation for 4.4.4 update Anyway,if the phone is rooted(locked bootloader), will I get this update?

[Q] Weird app and firmware update

So I was using my phone when suddenly there're notifications about a dummy app and a firmware update 12.1.X.0.2205. The dummy app didn't do anything much went opened tho. Just XPERIA written all over the screen. As for the firmware update it uses X instead of A and build 2205 just make no sense. Furthermore it's 0.2205 which I suppose is kind of weird. Any of you received the same or it was just me? I've searched the whole forum searching for answers and I can't find any. Is it just Sony mistakenly released it or what?
And as for the firmware update. I tried every means to get it installed but the installation failed. Just asking because of curiosity tho.
It might have been a mysterious force gave me superpowers through a weird phone update and I cant access it until the time comes but oh well that's just me and my imagination
Perhaps an idea to make a screenshot?

Ah yes sir here's a couple few of them
You are running a Custom ROM I believe? So perhaps that is the issue
Just clear all data of Update Centre

Yea i do moded it quite heavily. But what is actually going on here? Any thorough explanation? :silly:

Oh yeah and one more thing. Is there any possibilities that this is a sign that Sony's making a kit kat build? Since that update I received was weird and all. I had a tiniest hope in that
Or maybe it's just my update centre is bugged and all :silly:
maybe it's something like this

and a question..how did you make your notification drawer like this?

Nah I wouldn't say it's the same as there is no announcement of a new firmware by Sony. The link was for .205 and I've updated mine.
A little off-topic tho hahah.
About the notification bar I use Serajr systemUI mod and Serajr Xperia Xposed (KK) to get the gaussian blur effect

Another update?

Is anyone else receiving this

Hopefully. But I won't be flashing it immediately if it does. I rely a lot on stock-based kernels. So i'll wait for either DooMKernel or F(X)TrinityUltimateKernel to be updated. Maybe those who already got the update could share with us any changes or improvements?

The kernel should be the same, I doubt a small update like this will have major kernel changes
When I get home I will update and install Doom's advanced stock kernel to gain root again.
I will let you know if it works, but I imagine it will be fine

No.. But Easy Root work just fine so you need to root it again..
BTW, I've posted latest FTF in main thread, it's from Vodafone DE.
Just checked PCC but it's not online for me yet! Now I wait.....
Hi Greg,
Have you tried the .118 ROM yet? If so, any difference from .108?

Hot Hot Hot!!
Hi Guys and Gals,
Been running this on my C6903 overnight, and boy is it hot. In fact my device was so hot too the touch that it was almost unbearable.
Because of this I've had to revert back to the '108' build. Is it just me, or is anybody else experiencing this?
Also, on every boot there is a notification relating to mobile data, is this specific to vodafone?
If anybody has another ftf aside from this German one, I would be extremely grateful if you can post it, so that I test and compare, thanks in advance.
Very strange, I finally got around to flashing this and I stayed on the same version, same kernel, same baseband.
Pccompanion said I was up to date now but nothing changed.
Oh well.

Torch flicker

Hey guys!
I noticed something weird the other day, I used torch for the first time (I have the phone about a month) and the light (which by the way is pretty weak) was flickering. Very very fast but at dark it is easy to see. Can you check it for yourself to see if it is only on me? I use the latest firmware, everything in stock (no root or unlocked bl)!
Thank you!
i have the same problem as yours when i upgrade to 6.0.1. i believe it is bug of 6.0.1, course it never flickers in 5.0.
oh ok! I am releived now :laugh:
Waiting for a fix then

Jan 9 ... 326MB software update.. what is it?

The description doesn't say Nougat... and what it does say certainly doesn't seem to justify 326MB of download.
anyone applied this yet?
EDIT: very bad typo on my part.. corrected.

PK6 firmware has been posted on Sammobile for almost a month maybe. I installed it on my T719. Still MM, probably small fixes, and security patch level is December 1, 2016.

Yea, i guess it can take longer to reach your device via OTA. I keep tabs on https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ and grab them as soon as they're posted.. But, I don't care what country they are for, I just install 1 from the new batch for the latest fixes and security updates lol.
