I really want to know when the latest .73 firmware for UK Xperia S will be released. Also if anyone currently running .73 would like to expand on battery life?
Well it's been a month tomorrow since it was released in singapore, other euro countries have got it. Sonymobile uk have said it is out but no one has confirmed they got it. So it might never come out. At this rate ICS may be out on the S before this patch get's released. I am using the NL generic using Flashtool and you can flash it without needing to root.

thank you, but i dont want to, i want to keep everything official this time, i did have a HTC one x about two weeks ago!! WHAT A PIECE OF SH*T! It glitched, lagged and had atrocious battery life, far more satisfied with this. Im still getting 7-9 pm moderate use and im on 20% !
I just got a new phone due to the yellow tint, was thinking of asking for a One X instead

Hi dragon mate, is the NL .73 any better than the sg .73 ?
I find it better less bloat feels smooth just like SG. I use NL feels close to the invisible UK update.

Strange - I got the 73 update a couple of weeks ago. I have an Orange branded XS. I am running 6.0.A.3.73.
I got a push notification a couple of weeks ago (maybe during easter weekend)

I have not heard from many Orange users with the update it may have been leaked. Generic Uk XS users not got the update either.
Not sure. It came through and updated using the pc companion. The phone works fine as well. Not sure anything has changed apart from the firmware number though. Slightly better battery.
Apparently the .73 update had been released for t-mobile uk, can anyone confirm?

the 2,1 leak is beta so yea, theres a couple of slight issues but mainly it works wonderfully. im loving it! so fast
Ah - ok - i thought that build was final. Couldnt see any issues atall - worked fine for me. SO.....does it go on easy or is there a lot of messing around.?? - i must confess im 50 50 on getting another as ive also got a nexus one with the cyanogen firmware on and its really slick.
How did you install 2.1 on ulocked streaks..? Mine is O2 so i had no problem..but my friend has a unlocked one ane and he cannot update it...
Thx..
Thats the question i was asking - ive got rid of my o2 locked streak now and was hanging out for a new one (going to the states next week) but ive heard even the full price ones are locked to AT&T. So, either get one here definately unlocked but not sure if i can get 2.x on or get one in the states possibly unlocked and save a bit of a cash....
Do any UK Atrix owners know whether this update is ever going to happen for our phones? The only mod i've made to my Atrix is to root it, but i'm seriously tempted to unlock my bootloader and start to enjoy the custom roms available for this great phone.

I've just checked OTA update on my sons Atrix & still no update available yet.............
Funny you mention that I just did the same after reading the OP
This is garbage to be honest....how hard is it to send it out...it isnt like there is a huge amount of branding (unlike the old WinMo phones)

My thoughts entirely deech
I've heard that there is a phone called the Atrix2 MB865 and is being shipped with OS 2.3 gingerbread as of october 2011 in the usa. So trying not to be too negative i personally don't think orange will update my MB860 before summer next year. I am giving it till the end of january and then i'll unlock my bootloader. http://www.gsmarena.com/motorola_atrix_2-4199.php
I doubt there will ever be an GB update for the UK out-of-datrix.
Killed any passion I had for motorola - BOS if you ask me - I'll never buy another one of there ****ty phones ever again & will recommend to everyone they aviod them like the plague.

Yeah i've read that too, i also read somewhere that the Atrix is now EOL and isn't even 12 months old yet!! I can't believe this personally as this is still one of the fastest phones out there, and probably has the hardware to run ICS let alone Gingerbread.
I wish I could just "give" you my GB OTA. I have the Bell Atrix and am staying on Froyo. I've come close of pulling the trigger on my GB OTA, but I keep hearing the horror stories about battery life not being as good and others wishing they could go back to Froyo that I'm staying put.
I've used Gingerbread on my SGS and SGSII, and IMO GB doesn't have anything that I want anyway.
Now ICS is a completely different story. You should check out the ICS Launchers or ICS themes (some are in the market) and you won't even think about GB.
Hopefully we all get ICS (or go the CM9 route) because GB can easily be skipped over and left forgotten IMO...

Feel the same way, wont get a Moto Phone again, but I have a Xoom and that is nice
I'll give it till Feb (as I'm away for several months soon) and see if we have CM9 or else wack CM7 on and be done with it.....Going to go back to HTC or maybe a Sammy next time....

what about the chinese version ?
The installation went well for the most part, but when I turned it off to test the startup time shortly afterward it stalled out. I had to reset it. Since then, there have been no issues. Everything seems a little faster. Menus are responsive, and there seems to be a lot less lag in general. I haven't played much with the small apps, but they seem to work well enough. The desktop folders are a nice feature. I was especially looking forward to swiping away notifications to close them, and I have not been disappointed. The feature works perfectly. I think all the little features plus the improved performance make this update a success. +1 to Sony on the upgrade. Next time, a little more communication on release timelines would be preferred. Hopefully the recent re-org will change things for the better.

Guys whats new in the lollipop update which differs from before
bugs ?
I think my case is limited and does not apply to everyone, but there is a battery issue for some people. Our battery life went from multiple days to 9-12 hours. Not much has been said about it. I am just hoping that someone sees this and knows what to do about this and will post a magic bullet.

I've seen that happening to me initially and found out it was due the fact I was using old 4.4 watchfaces which were not yet updated to 5.0

I use Gohma 2.2 on mine so I can't speak for stock Lollipop, but I can get a nice amount of time overnight with Sleep as Android tracking running while in theater mode. I haven't checked my watchfaces so it's possible I'm still running some 4.4 watchfaces.
i've been having force closes on my watch like every other day-ish. My phone will vibrate, i try to swipe to wake and it takes a while to wake. This happened when it got updated to 5.0.
Update on my situation:
After a couple of weeks I re-imaged my phone and everything worked fine. So it must have been something either I did or a weird update. I really can't speak to what happened but I thought I would come back and at least say that a re-image of my phone fixed the issue.
Coming from an S3 S4 S5 and ready for a new flavor. Been reading here all day after seeing the Z3 last night.
Anything else I need to know coming from Sami.
App to SD does not work but is implemented in lollipop. I wasn't initially aware of that when I first got mine. I love mine ditched the Note4 for it.
Thanks for responding, Gonna see what VZW store around here has them tomorrow

You're going to love the battery life. Also, you might like the minimalistic touch of Sony for Android UI, depending on your tastes.
Last thing is, simultaneous voice and data won't come until lollipop, which is still pretty soon I'm feeling. Not a big hassle if you're connected to Wi-Fi most of the time.

don't buy the verizon version if you are about customizing it
you see there is no development for it at all so far,
z3 standart versions have a little development already
My devel days are behind me, I dont have the time to keep up with the changes any more so the VZ version will do
The best time is to get it now since Verizon is selling it awfully low for. 99 cents on a new contract. Ever since moving onto this phone, I have no big desire as before to Dev this since everything is near perfect.
And for some reason, T-Mobile discontinued selling the Z3 today...
Wonder why Tmo dropped it, is it cause the z4 is coming out?
Oh no.... next version regret syndrome before I even buy

it's funny how people think about z4, that's in my opinion (even if i had the money) a bit weird, since the z3 isn't that old... no offence
Cant call Vzw till 10 est to see if the store has any:fingers-crossed:
Having the Z3v,I wouldn't trade it up for any other phone unless it would be a newer Xperia. My other choice would have been a Note 4, but having the freedom to not worry about water damage and incredible battery life is what I've been long awaited for this when the Z2 was introduced.
Ok, I got mine. So whats the best/fastest way to charge this phone?
So Im just rebuilding my apps and all I can say is Wow I really like the way this thing runs. Lollipop really Fugged up my S5, how has it been for you guys

There's only two ways to charge: Regular and wireless charging. Wireless charging isn't as fast as regular charging, but it saves the hassle from taking the port out and inserting the charger correctly. I recommend either the Choe Stadium wireless charger from Amazon or the Tylt Wireless Charger if you want to spend the extra cash.
And I very much agree. I'm glad I held off on getting the S5/M8. My experience with this phone is simply the best, and I just shake my head out how people overlook this regardless of development.
makes me want one.. i have been sitting happy on my S4 running google edition.. scared to upgrade because seems like everything is root locked these days but it sounds like there is no need to root this phone..
one question, does this phone have expandable storage??

Yes, this phone has expandable storage up to 128 GB. It comes with a standard 32gb internal memory on board so it's still plentiful.
Good phone, but bad support... as in poor marketing, limited accessories and delayed Lollipop update.
