- Sony has included the 1 December 2017 Android security patches in this latest update
- You can go to app drawer from home screen with swipe up, and back in home screen from app drawer with swipe down...
- They have added some shortcuts to launcher settings in main settings menu...

It's strange, if I open my appearance settings it only shows "Themes" and "Wallpaper", but not the other options (okay it's an xz1 compact, but still same firmware and nearly same device).
I can only change grid etc. by pressing long on my "homescreen" and the options appear there.
(Also german firmware.)

you'll probably need a newer version of sony home, the latest beta version is 11.2.A.0.3

You were right, the new beta did the trick Thanks!
Edit: Hm, okay you can only enable the "swipe up" (for app drawer to open) if you disable the "apps" symbol :/
Is there any way to reenable the symbol but keep the feature?
Edit2: Okay I ended up deleting the beta. (App icon + swipe feature are back)

I'm reposting my statement from the XZ1c forum:
----------------------------------
All,
I would note that it appears (per the screenshot) that you can't downgrade to a previous version once you've installed the 47.1.A.8.49 firmware.
I suspect they have enabled Qualcomm's bootloader versioning which prevents the system from booting when it detects the older version.
This probably means that there is a serious and potentially easy to exploit vulnerability in the previous versions of the bootloader. Note the many closed source Qualcomm vulnerabilities listed in the December ASB.
It's possible that someone will eventually discover what those vulnerabilities are and come up with a way to root without unlocking the bootloader.
Personally, I'm staying away from this update for a while.
EDIT: I was wrong. See post below.

Sorry.. It turns out that I was wrong.
A user was trying to downgrade and was getting boot-loops and another user pointed out the statement in the ROM.
I knew that there were a lot of closed source Qualcomm updates and assumed that Sony implemented version rollback prevention.
They did not.
I was wrong.
I pulled the attestation certificates from all of the firmware versions released thus far and compared them.
They are identical.
Code:
CN = Yoshino com-2 Attestation Cert
OU = 01 0000000000000001 SW_ID
OU = 02 0005E0E100010004 HW_ID
OU = 03 0000000000000000 DEBUG
OU = 04 0001 OEM_ID
OU = 05 00020000 SW_SIZE
OU = 06 0004 MODEL_ID
OU = 07 0001 SHA256
O = Sony Mobile Communications Inc.
L = Lund
S = N/A
C = SE
Note that the "SW_ID" is the bit used to implement rollback prevention and is actually supposed to be read in two parts:
0000000000000001
The red bit is the version number and the green bit is the image identifier.
Essentially, the version number hasn't changed, so we can still roll-back to a previous version.
The user with the problem likely has some other problem unrelated to bootloader versioning.
I apologize for the misinformation.

Yeah, we know but GB is not so much customizable. Also, you don't need to suggest everyone in this way because developers are currently modding the ICS fw so it us disrespectful. Everyone has their choices.

So what's ur.point?
Sent from my ST25i using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
point is to show 'clear' kernels (only root ,no addictional options or fixes) which are made for 3.184 from this sorry word word ' mess ' - try to find something in search bar " xperia u root " "st25 kernel" "3.184 root" or other possibilities.
i found to two this day - one which they say you have to use on 3.184 but really kernel represents 1.564
second broken also represents 1.564
so none actually kernel represents 3.184
loaded "ST25i_6.0.B.3.184_Generic_World.ftf" and in orginal shows Phone Software Version: 1254-3522_6.0.B.3.184

Same here. New s9 plus just bought yesterday. I just checked no updates available. Wonder if they pulled it.
Hopefully the removal of the update has something to do with the v2 bootloader. When you update to ARC6, you can't go backwards from that point, or at least currently. The v1 bootloader in ARBG is a lot more flashing friendly.

Unfortunately, this doesn't matter in my case as I have the Snapdragon variant. Jailbreaking Apple devices is easier than dealing with Samsung's BS these days; however, I couldn't give up the ability to expand storage with an SD card.
I've been hearing a lot of people complaining about dropped calls on the ARC6 update. I never experienced it myself while on ARC6 but I'm on ARDA now.

Mine is a SnapDragon model also. Although based on older information and models. I am hoping we get a V3 bootloader for those who are stuck on v3 that can be upgrade and then downgraded. The Note 8 bootloader is possible to flash backwards for some reason. Because we are on the 845 though, it will probably take a little time for someone to figure out who to get it to successfully flash backward. The call dropping issue on some firmware versions also is a problem that doesn't exist on other firmware variants. I had the call dropping on 1ARC6 but not on 1ARBG. That might have slipped into the firmware with the v2 bootloader. Whatever the reason, the Samsung community has a lot of development and cross-flashing activity that will hopefully get this figured out soon.
I came from a V30, which is much more of a mess to even attempt to flash anything other than what the current firmware is could potentially leave you hard bricked. Outside of Nexus and Pixel devices, I find Samsung in its current state more cross-flashing and mod friendly than some other manufactures. I have never used an Apple device to know how easy or difficult they are to jailbreak or what that means in comparison to what we do with modded, bootloader unlocked, and cross-flashing devices on the Android side. The locked down Apple ecosystem will always keep me away from their platform.

Android Pie confirmed for Moto Z2 Play

Hopefully the phones we have will survive long enough to have another update next year. https://blog.motorola.com/2018/08/15/baked-android-pie-coming-motorola/
Yey. Let's wait till end q1 of 2019 when Google starts to test Android Q for Motorola to get P ready for it's last year's phone's. Or do I have to remind you that Oreo was released end April/early May to the original Z play?

Yes, starting with the 2018 models, or maybe only with the Z3 since it's the most expensive ones. Or do you really believe that our one year old phone will get updates that quick? They are not Pixels and knowing the update strategy of Lenovo for the past couple of years and without treble we can be lucky if we even get it this year. or have you forgotten the Oreo update? And it wasn't even to 8.1, just 8.0
I am still on 7.1.1 Nougut. According to support, I am on the latest update. But on 08/31 they claimed they are behind, but it is coming soon.
Shouldn't the all be the same regardless of software channel, build number, SKU, Version, etc.? They are all Moto Z2 Play. Mine is even unlocked so I would think that would be a benefit.
Here are the specs from the "about phone":
- Moto Z2 Play - UNLOCKED version (carrier independent)
- Software Channel = "retla"
- Build Number = NPSS26.118-19-1-16
- SKU = XT1710-06
- Version = PVT1
- Baseband version = M8953P_23.33.07.34.01RALBUS_LATAMDSDS_CUST
- Security patch = February 1, 2018
- Android 7.1.1. (Nougut)

I had the update like in mid July, but it didn't take. It got all messed up and went back to 7.1.1
So I installed Oreo on the side and put Custom Rom on top of it.

Same here. I have no idea why my phone won't update. I have it unlocked and rooted with Magisk, but won't it still detect the update and try to download it? I just need to unroot first and flash it and it should be just fine I thought. But nope, still on 7.1.1 with the February 2018 security patch. I'm on software channel retus. Right now I'm not really too concerned with getting a new version of Android on this phone since everything is stable but I'd like to know why my phone never got the 8.0/8.1 update.

It depends on carrier. Although, if you ask them, carrier will say it depends on Moto; but truth is, it isn't. As far as I know, AT&T Latin America released (or it was Moto?) 8.0 Oreo in August, which has been already updated up to September, 2018. Next should be 9, but... Yes, 8.0 was released same time as 9 for Pixels, a full year after Z2 device landed. So, statistically, 9's OTA should be inside AT&T's Z2 devices, late in 2019. That would be another year, probably along with 10's appearance! but... Maybe not. Who knows what's in their heads. Point seems to be keeping OTA fans (don't count me in) eager as hell.

Mi A1 received Android 9 pie update and now it supports dual 4G + volte. Really shocked to see Snapdragon 625 supporting dual 4G and that too enabled with an update. And Moto doesn't even update their os to 64 bit.

For this device to be updated to 64bit, it would require formatting, users would lose all their stored data. How well do you think that would go over with the general public?

That is a fair point. Although it's fairly easy to backup data on a phone with SD card, not everyone will like it. I had Asus zenfone 3 which came with 64bit OS despite 3GB of RAM and camera 2 API was enabled so the Gcam and hdr+ worked without root. Thought Z2 play with 4GB RAM, better camera sensor and stock Android will be even better. I was wrong.

Once I had changed the firmware may be last year to get One UI after that I am not able to receive any security update. How I can get the update of One UI 2.0?
Many thanks in advance.

One UI 2.0 isn't OTA yet, see separate thread for trying the beta (although my personal advice is wait a month for the finished version)
On release you'll need to probably download it and install manually, making sure the version you install matches your phones original CSC to re-enable OTA updates.
