1st genereation xperia Z users - anyone got 4.4.4 update?

irishchris

just wondering if anyone in ireland has got the 4.4.4 update for the xperia z yet? it was released by sony a few weeks ago and generally does not take long to appear on pc companion but not showing yet for me. three have not released the OTA update yet but they are renowned for being slow. really could do with this update to fix the location battery drain from 4.4.2

Xperia Z On O2 and got it a few weeks ago.

Not too sure which device you're referring to ...


Both Xperia Z1 Compact and Xperia Tablet Z (1st gen) are running 4.4.4. Own both devices outright (i.e. not locked by a network operator)

Z1 Compact was updated over a month ago and has been running well.

Tablet Z was updated tonight .. will see how it goes over the next few days (was on 4.4.2 with a buggy Google Play services that drained the battery).

If your device is unlocked/rooted, then you will not get the updates. My tablet was unlocked, but not rooted and had to lock it in order to get the 4.4.4 updates.

Still on 4.4.2 here on the 3 network with Sony Xperia Z phone.

Probably irrelevant, but I just got the update 4.4.4 today on my Motorola

Vodafone Z2 still on 4.4.2.

irishchris

thanks guys. I was referring to the original xperia z which came out before the z1. good to hear o2 have released it so hopefully three will soon. bootloader is locked so can't root and have to depend on three to get their finger out and release it so

Really? My Z1 is on 4.4.4 for a couple of months now. I got the update on PC Companion though not the OTA update. I was actually told by a Vodafone rep on the forum that they weren't releasing it but were "working on another update"?

Still no update for me on Tesco Mobile.

I was able to reduce the battery drain by switching off the GPS, but my phone is still slow. Cant wait for the 4.4.4 update.

Yeah. It says that it is the latest version

irishchris

Same on three still unfortunately

Anyone get this yet? Is there any way to force the update? (without rooting etc)

I got it last week and so far so good. The battery life is ok so far, but I don't think that it is as good as Android 4.3 was.

I am with Tesco Mobile. The option to update appeared on my phone without me having to check for it.

irishchris

anyone with three get this update yet?

Fuzzy_Dunlop

I actually got mine but that was because I had to send it to get fixed and when it came back it had been factory reset and had 4.4.4 on it
