T-Mobile Xperia Z1s C6916 14.5.B.0.228 Lollipop firmware certified

A new Android 5.0.2 Lollipop 14.5.B.0.228 firmware has been certified for T-Mobile Xperia Z1s C6916 handset at PTCRB over older 14.5.B.0.220 firmware which was certified in April starting. A few days back Sony rolled Android 5.0.2 14.5.A.0.242 firmware update on global variant of Xperia Z1.

14.5.B.0.228 firmware will move Xperia Z1s to Android 5.0.2 from Android 4.4.4 KitKat 14.4.B.0.56 firmware. No ETA is there when the update will be rolled on the carrier handset in USA.

14.5.B.0.228 Lollipop firmware

Sony earlier pulled Android Lollipop update from some regions within a day of rolling it on Xperia Z3 and Xperia Z2 (because of some bugs) and then released another bug fixing update; 14.5.B.0.228 firmware seems to do the same thing over 14.5.B.0.220 firmware (which was never released).

Sony has already rolled Android 5.0.2 Lollipop update on Xperia “Z3” and Xperia “Z2” series in the form of 23.1.A.0.690 firmware and is now available worldwide.

Sony will also give Lollipop update to Xperia T2 Ultra and Xperia C3, 19.3.A.0.468 firmware has been certified for both handsets already.

Once 14.5.B.0.228 Lollipop firmware begins to roll, we will let you know.

Xperia Z3 on T-Mobile soon getting 700MHz LTE 12 Band Support update in May 2015

T-Mobile is planning an update for Xperia Z3 in upcoming May 2015 which will bring 700MHz LTE 12 Band support for it which means better higher speed LTE connectivity. It seems that Android 5.0 Lollipop update will come later on Xperia Z3 T-Mobile may be after May 2015.

At present Galaxy Note 4 and Galaxy Note Edge enjoy T-Mobile 700MHz LTE 12 Band Support and as soon as T-Mobile is done rolling an OTA update for the same in May 2015, Xperia Z3 users will also be able to see it.

An user at XDA (CollinFX45) posted that he was able to connect to LTE 12 Band on T-Mobile network on his Xperia Z3 in US, may be T-Mobile is testing it now ( as they can’t enable it without due permissions ) and soon it will be enabled for all to connect.
