I got a new notification this morning about an update should I install it? I really want root but I have 5.1 stock at the moment
I got the notification too. I'm sure it contains the stagefright patch and hopefully volte. Too me the stagefright patch is enough to do the update but I'll wait to see what others say.
@723i and @atan420, could you share a screenshot or two?
Just stagefright.

Updating my 2014 pure at the moment...
Moto assist seems to be broken after the update. At least it no longer knows when I'm at home or at work. Anyone having the same issue?

Yes moto assist is no longer available for this version (according to the google store). Updated 2 days ago to the the version @Jhall8 shown in the screenshot and the WiFi goes off after a couple of minutes of screen off. I checked the WiFI advanced settings and it should NOT do that. Do you experience the same?
Thank you in advance
Hello,
Before I updated my software to 8.0, I was able to share my screen with my tv to chromecast. After the update to 8.0 I am NOT able to do so.
I thought Samsung would fix this issue, but the problem is not solved even after July update.
Is the problem with my phone or it is a known issue?
Thanks
Hi,so i saw today on Xpericheck that there is a new update circulating. Has anyone updated their device to this new build? Is it just a security patch or what?
Yes. Patch 1. July.
BUT I'm not sure if it's because of this patch or something else but now I'm having connectivity issues! Sometimes the 4g just won't load even thought it's connected. Going to flight mode and back helps. And when WiFi connects to another WiFi (switch from my 2.4 to 5ghz with different said) I get a connection stop.
Anyone else has similar issues?
Singtel SG still can't update,always late
Don't patch, it drains battery like crazy.
In 100 to 0 cycle i have 30 or more percent of power disappear
how long will the XZ2 supportet from Sony with monthly updates?
XZ3 got 52.1.A.3.92 (August/September) while we're stuck on 52.1.A.3.49 (July). I think this is it unless they're just being lazy or skipping updates. Coincidentally the XZ3 came out October 2018 whereas the XZ2 came out in April 2018. The XZ1 stopped updates exactly 2 years after it came out, but one can still hope.
At least their newer devices (Mark II) have combined packages for regions unlike everything before it which is nice. No idea why they had to have 42 different versions with varying degree of update schedules for so long. One thing that still bugs me is why they have to have 2 versions per device instead of only having the option for just dual-sim which is way more cost effective since you can decide on either 2 sims or 1 sim + microsd. Their Mobile division has been suffering for so long so why they still do this is quite a mystery not to mention lock one or the other on a per-region basis. It must be a cultural thing or something.
Some regions of the XZ2/c/p devices got the 52.1.A.3.74 ~2020-08-24
But yes, I think that was the last one and only custom roms will give us future security updates.
(But only the SODP project gives us also security updates for the vendor partition.)
And yeah, nice to see that finally they reduce the amount of regions.
New firmware (52.1.A.3.137 ~ 2021-03-12) available for XZ3 and XZ2 family.

I believe for the time 52.1.A.3.137 is only available via OTA upgrade. I got OTA upgrade notifications on both XZ2 and XZ3.
One strange thing I got through is that I have a second XZ3 but the device hasn't got, at least yet, an OTA upgrade notification. I know that firmware time releases depend on carrier, software version etc but I have flashed my both XZ3 with the exact same 52.1.A.3.92 firmware in the past.
Both devices are 8416 model unlocked to any network and use the same carrier.
The only difference I found between two is that the one got the OTA upgrade notification for the 52.1.A.3.137 has "ETS Software Version :1313-0833_3A" and the other which didn't get any OTA has "ETS Software Version :1313-0833_5.
Anyway I am sure 52.1.A.3.137 will be released in the next few days on Xperifirm.
Xz3 will get full-screen mode? Is this just a security fix?
52.1.A.3.137 is now available on Xperifirm.
Anyone got any idea what this update is about? For some reason I can't find the security level on my XZ3 to check if it's a security level patch.

Hi guys,
I have a problem with my Sony Xperia XZ3 52.1.A.3.92 about sending WhatsApp audios. The problem is about an interruption of the voice after three seconds of recording, followed by silence. In a previous version of Android 10, I also had a really low volume, which has been fixed in my current release.
When I was notifyed by my phone about the new 52.1.A.3.137 version, I wondered if the WhatsApp bug had been fixed. Does anyone have informations about it?
I apologize for grammar mistakes, I am italian.
I just got 52.1.A.3.137 on my XZ2 Premium today and it nerfed half of my apps. Literally half of my apps either will not run or run for a few seconds and then exit. Of course, this was not the case before this update. Beware.
Try update apps.

Thank you for reporting your experience... Sony has released an incredible number of software versions full of bugs for its smartphones. My current release has some bugs, but I am getting kinda used to them.

I had the same experience with some apps on xz3. I think it is not about the firmware patch. It has to do with the android system Web view. Update it to the latest version 89.0.4389. 105(2021/03/23) and you should be fine. Hope that helps.

After messing with the phone for hours, I was able to remove the updates for the Google Play Services and Google Play. After they reinstalled themselves, everything was back to 100% normal again. Apparently, something about the firmware update was crashing my Google Play Services. It was really strange that some apps worked, no problem. But some apps would run once and then never again. Instead, they would either crash immediately or after a few seconds.
The problem I ran into at first was that Google Play Services wouldn't uninstall updates because it was in use or crashed. Once I was able to uninstall the updates, that triggered the system to install the latest versions and all was good again. Just glad I didn't do anything hasty like reset the phone before exhausting all else.
It is an essential fix for this bug with most XZ models including the XZ3 where you couldn't use Google Assistant hands free.
Made driving very dangerous for me hence the constant nagging, Sony acknowledged and finally brought the fix out.
Still waiting for the update here in the UK

Anyone saying the update nerfed their apps is probably overlooking the recent Google Webview breaking fiasco, just update your apps in Google Play Store or at least Google Webview, totally unrelated to the new Sony Xperia update imo.
OTA Update came through for me today as a 128.5 MB file size but will not install. Progress bar counts up the % complete increments but at the 100% complete stage it says "Could not verify" and then you just have the button again to tap on "Update" and start all over again. Restarting the phone a few times did not help either.

Probably your android attest key is missing.
Check your device status if it says "android attest key not provisioned".
That usually happens if you flash the device with newflasher and you didn't exclude persist.sin file.
This is really not a big issue as you can always download the firmware you want with xperifirm and flash your device with newflasher.
