Connected to *** but still nothing

Hi all,

My bad, next time you can just click on this 2 links to find out whether the firmware has been uploaded online, without going through the PC companion:

Generic SG:
http://fuas.sonymobile.com/fuas/ser...mat=delta,image&channel=cable&cdfId=1270-1412

Singtel SG:
http://fuas.sonymobile.com/fuas/ser...mat=delta,image&channel=cable&cdfId=1270-0743

***Take note of the version in <swVersion> section


For those adventurous enough, go ahead and install the Honami add-on packages or install any of the custom ROMs with them inbuilt, such as this:

[ROM][XZ][01/07]KA01 Xperia Z Radioactive™|Honami Rom!! fast & smooth - xda-developers


I'm trying out this ROM so will give a quick update once I done so.

<swVersion>10.1.1.A.1.253</swVersion>

wow using the price is cheaper than in SG after conversion. ~$600 for WiFi version

Yup, exactly, wonder why Singapore & Malaysia so much different. Singapore expensive in device but cheap in accessories, Malaysia cheap in device but expensive in accessories.

Example: (base on official retailer price)

Singapore selling SGP $ 688 = RM 1,723
Malaysia selling RM 1,499 only

Xperia Tablet Z LTE
Singapore selling SGP $ 988 = RM 2,475
Malaysia selling RM 1,999 only

Xperia Z
Singapore selling SGP $ 988 = RM 2,475
Malaysia selling RM 2,199 only

Accessories
Xperia Tablet Z Carrying Case
Singapore selling SGP $ 99 = RM 248 only
Malaysia selling RM 349

Xperia Tablet Z Screen Protector
Singapore selling SGP $ 29 = RM 72 only
Malaysia selling RM 119

How do you guys root your XZ? Don't need to unlock bootloader right?

No need. Just use the tutorial on XDA forums.

Updating the New Sony Firmware for My Xperia Z. From PC Update service. Woooo

 

[carlover76]

Just check my phone firmware availability, the new firmware .423 is available now, will be updating later.

 

[BlueBull]

No 4.2.2 yet.

Finally its here.


Updating to 4.2.2 now.

 

[happy2day]

My PC Companion don't have

 

[hush66]

I'm going to post these as I'm expecting lots of questions once you've updated to 4.2.2:

1. "Developer Options" is not immediately available under Settings. You'll have to go to "About Phone", scroll down to "Build number" and tap it 7 times before the "Developer Options" appear.

2. The option to take a screenshot is no longer there if you long-press on the power button. You can now take screenshots by holding the volume down + power buttons together. Alternatively, there is a new small app called Clip Manager that allows you to take a screenshot and immediately edit it before saving.

Sony has pushed newer versions of its media apps, thrown in a remote phone location app, a new Functionalities widget, and support for MicroSD cards up to 64GB. Most interesting is this tidbit: "New Customizable navigation bar with quick settings."

In order to access developer option to enable USB debugging in Android 4.2, you need first go to settings / about phone / and press build number multiple times. Its will then say you are a developer. Now you can see the developer menu in settings.
