Looks like there is an update (10.1.1.A.1.253) available here in the US for my ZL (C6506) through PC companion. Here is the changelog:
1.Enhanced user experience
2.Improved battery life
3.Software performance enhancements
Notification bar & dock color has been changed to black (from gray). That's all I have noticed so far. I'll need to see if the mediaserver battery drain issue has been fixed or not.
Update (May 17,2013) : After using the phone on the new FW for two days, I'm quite happy with the improved battery life. Mediaserver had the highest battery usage (> 40%) on my previous build. Now it's down to 5% ! Camera shots look a bit better - still there is room for improvement. Hopefully, Sony will improve it further in the future. - great job, keep it up, Sony
where did you get this info?
What firmware version do you currently have ?
I would like to know what build number you were coming from and which provider as well? I have a ZL rogers (C6506) as well and i don't see any updates
I have not received it on my 6503 with nordic fw yet.
Sent from my C6503 using xda premium
My model is C6506 which is one of the two unlocked models available in the US (Other one is C6502). My build was 10.1.A.1.434 prior to the update. The update is available through PC companion (not OTA)
What's about rooted phone?

i have an unlocked phone, i just plugged it into the sony companion on the laptop and it prompted for an update
also they've added a mini chrome browser to the small apps list, sweet, in addition to some graphics fix ups, and im sure some other stuff
I've just plugged and nothing showed up on pc companion..it says I got the last updated firmware but it could take a couple of days to appear on every region after the official launching.

Mine did a "NFC Firmware Updating" after the initial boot as well.
This seems odd to me, why would the number be lower than the original firmware and the last firmware that was released?
waiting here for my 6502 to get update
Mine is unlocked, bought on ebay, think it is originally from Malaysia?
I'm in the US, PC companion isn't showing the update yet...soon I hope
Thx for the heads up.

october is almost finished and se didn't roll 2.3.4 for xperia play out here in ph.

Changes I've noticed:
-Much better battery life. Standby time specially.
-Different folder icons, with previews
-Timescape stopped temp freezing for me, which it did a lot in 2.3.3
-Nice new smooth screen-off/on animation
-Finally you can turn off the auto adjustment of the screen brightness!!
-You can now take a screenshot when holding down the power button
-Supposedly the "pressing back button triggers multiple times bug" has been fixed
Overall I'm getting a much better experience with 2.3.4.
oh i see. so i see u.k then. its a million miles away here in Philippines. I bet it is following Magellan's route or maybe. It is temporarily resting in Iceland. What an update.

Did they just release it in Mexico? Last night I was reading some Sony Ericsson Mexico comments on facebook and the rep was saying we'd get it on November (and I added a couple of months for the carrier bloatware).
I'd try but I don't want to loose my PSXperia games I guess I can hook it up and check for update (without really updating) just to confirm here.
Edit: it says I'm up to date on 2.3.3, we didn't even get the 4.0 update either.

Hi! im also from the Philippines and im also using Xperia play (just last week, got it from sulit.com )
anyway, there's already a 2.3.4 firmware, check out the development threads,
after that you can use DoomLord's kernel for better use and clocks.
You can just delete the removable bloatware (there's also a thread like this I think)
after,
Enjoy your play!
Yes Sri Lanka. BTW is there any improvement on the camara side? Cz I got No 3d panorama or HD video

Yep, .211 is a regional patch. It isn't available in Europe or America... an probably never will, but is a generic version. You can use without any problem.
What do you mean by regional patch?
is volume up really broken?

No, in this case regional means exactly that. It's for a set group of countries within a certain area of the world that was experiencing an issue with wifi.
The only fix in .211 is the wifi bug so if you're not experiencing it then you'll have nothing to gain from flashing. Nothing to lose either mind you.

Now, would you call Middle East and Africa a region? I would, and apparently, so would Sony.
It doesn't really matter what you think or what I think, for that matter, fact is, Sony released this patch only for a certain region.
Half the world, which is not this case, but let's roll with it, is a region, no matter whose definition we take.
Will we get a patch for the lingering bugs the rest of the world (let's call them other regions) still have? Maybe, I like to think so.

It's not that Sony doesn't care... it's just that these regions weren't experiencing the wifi issue. The same happened with .50 and .55 on ICS... those firmware updates contained minor bug fixes that some users were experiencing, but for example, the latest update for my phone before JB was .45 because I wasn't experiencing those same bugs.
As someone else has said there will be another bug fix on it's way that will likely be rolled out to ALL the regions in the world. It's not that difficult to understand, but if you really absolutely must have the latest latest firmware (even though in this case .211 will be out-dated in a couple weeks) you can flash the MEA .211 ftf. Your phone will most likely still work in exactly the same way, you just won't have your region, or a World Generic firmware running on it.
Personally, and for most others I assume, it's not worth the hassle as you won't gain anything from it. If it's not broken don't fix it.

I suspect that Wi-Fi was only broken in the MEA customization of .200, which is why only that one got the .211 update. Otherwise, as soon as someone with .200 from a different region took their mobile phone (they clue is in the name( to the Middle East, they would get the Wi-Fi problem too. I've not seen any reports to that effect (and I'd hope that Sony would be wise to it anyway...)
The other thing to bear in mind is that, apart from some tweaks to the bands available in different regions (eg the US doesn't allow bands above 11 on 2.4GHz), Wi-Fi is Wi-Fi wherever you go. So the problem was much more likely to be due to specific regional differences in MEA (my guess is that it was something to do with the baseband for that region, since AIUI the problem was that Wi-Fi didn't work when cellular radio was active).
So in summary: other regions didn't need the update because the customizations of .200 for those regions didn't have the specific problem that .211 fixed.
I'd love to know more about this update rumoured to be coming in July, if anyone has any reliable information about it.

I'm from Germany and I got a new replacement. Since the display had a little scratch and the battery was one year old I'm quite satisfied.
I'm not sure if they are really new or refurbished phones the give.
I also have the problem, together with the 'black dots on the camera sensor' and 'dead battery'.
I'm from Belgium but I bought the phone in Germany. Yesterday the phone left the shop towards the repair center, I'm curious what they will do. I never had a phone with so much hardware problems. And I'm even not talking about the skin on the cover that was peeling of after not even 3 weeks. For that I never found an agreement with the Phone House nor Sony. They always keep saying it's was my fault. They pretend I was using a detergent on the cover... something that's not true and was never proved by either of them. I was suffering from extreme heating when the phone was idle, a problem that was resolved with installing a new firmware when I got back my phone after 3 months of contesting.
I will be very satisfied with either a new or refurbished phone
This is my first smart watch form Samsung how long does it take for software update take. I'm from UK seen there has been an update for the galaxy watch last week but still have not received it yet.

If you're familiar enough with Odin and flashing Samsung smartphones, flashing firmware to the Galaxy Watch with NetOdin is also pretty straight forward.
I just managed to flash the BSA4 firmware to my SM-R800 as it hasn't yet reached my country yet (Australia).
