After a long wait Android 4.4.4 23.0.1.A.0.167 firmware has been certified for Xperia Z2 and Xperia Z2 Tablet. Sony first updated Xperia Z1 and Xperia Z Ultra on android 4.4.4 version and later on updated Xperia T2 Ultra family on android 4.4.3 version though it was weird that the then flagship model Xperia Z2 was left out in cold without an update.

23.0.1.A.0.167 firmware is certified for all models of Xperia Z2 and Xperia Z2 Tablet globally which clearly means the roll out is very near now. If you noticed Sony has adopted a new firmware number series i.e. 23.0.X.X.X.XXX for Xperia Z2 series now which clearly means a major update over older Android 4.4.2 17.1.2.A.0.314 firmware and may be a new UI like Xperia Z3.

Xperia M2 18.0.C.1.17 firmware, M2 Dual 18.0.B.1.25 firmware certified

A new 18.0.C.1.17 firmware has been certified for Xperia M2 D2303, D2306 and for Xperia M2 Dual D2302 18.0.B.1.25 firmware has been certified on PTCRB. It is the second firmware certification for Xperia M2 after 18.0.A.1.33, 18.0.C.1.15 firmware. Sony has launched the Xperia M2 and Xperia M2 Dual now in many markets across the globe.

Xperia M2 18.0.C.1.17 firmware and Xperia M2 Dual 18.0.B.1.25 firmware seems only a minor bug fixing update as compared to present firmware versions. No certainty is there on the release of both certified firmwares yet as both handsets still have not been released in some regions so it could be the retail firmware for those regions when the launch takes place.

14.3.A.0.769 firmware certified for Xperia Z1, Z Ultra, Z1 Compact

A few days back we saw 14.3.A.0.761 firmware on Xperia Z1 L39h in China while the same update not seen anywhere else. Following 14.3.A.0.761 firmware, a new 14.3.A.0.769 firmware has been certified at PTCRB for Xperia Z1, Z1 Compact and Z Ultra recently. After buggy KitKat update from Sony, 14.3.A.0.757 firmware was released to fix those bugs but unfortunately they are still there as users are reporting them.

14.3.A.0.769 firmware is not certified for all variants of Xperia Z1, Z1 Compact and Z Ultra as only certain region handsets have got certification yet on PTCRB. Either 14.3.A.0.769 firmware will be certified later for all regions or is it again a carrier specific firmware update; time will tell.

Xperia Z1 Compact 14.3.E.0.1 firmware certified on PTCRB

A new firmware in form of 14.3.E.0.1 firmware is being certified at PTCRB for Xperia Z1 Compact D5503 which is a very different build firmware configuration as when compared to present android 4.4.2 14.3.A.0.757 firmware. As the firmware config. has changed it seems a specific firmware for some carriers rather than regular Xperia Z1 Compact global variants.

After Sony released android 4.4.2 KitKat update for Xperia Z1, Z Ultra and Z1 Compact, all users were complaining regarding the bugs in this major update brought though Sony rolled a bug fixing update also but it failed to address the issue. Currently users are facing issues like battery drain, heating issues and sound issues.

A previous build 10.5.A.0.227 firmware was certified a bit ago and an updated build has now arrived which was recently seen rolling on some developer Xperia Z handsets.
