Answered my own question.

I personally don't like these small updates. Why Sony keeps releasing a lot of small updates to an outdated version of Android instead of focusing giving us KitKat, which our phone is more than capable of running?
Take a look at Xperia L, for example, that phone is identical to ours (the only difference being internal memory and main camera) and was released with Android 4.1. They got a major update to Android 4.2.2 and now all they get are a lot of small updates and nothing more. I mean, Xperia L is veeeery similar to Xperia M, so why they didn't get an official 4.3 or 4.4 update too?
If this history of updates repeats with Xperia M, we'll be stuck in Android 4.3 forever. Sony will keep releasing small updates to us instead of bringing new versions of Android and when our phone support ends we will depend only of custom ROMs, not to mention Xperia M dual users (like me) that need to choose between having second SIM functionality or using a custom ROM to get KitKat

I agree with you bro..., Sony is just irritating the user with these small updates and even those updates aren't checked properly before they are released., those updates are released to fix a bug, they do fix it but the problem is that they are creating a new bug..
And bro I read somewhere that xperia m both single and dual won't receive Kitkat, and it seems that we ll be stuck with 4.3 forever unless we use unofficial roms.. I think that this ll be the case for all the Sony midrange phones....
I am a great fan of Sony, but now I am starting to hate it...

Yeah I heard abt that from one of my frd.. But I don't want to do that cos we are almost close for the next update.. Waiting is nothing wrong ..
It seems that the next update after QMR2 for xperia m ll take a long time ( usually it takes long time) I mean much longer cos there is no info regarding the future updates from Vodafone Australia

The build number to the firmware is 15.4.A.1.9, a firmware what has already been released.

Ofcourse sony is working for Xperia S... They released it because we want to close our mouths...
It was just my 2 cents on those who thought Sony is over with XS... I was sure that Sony will make this update nice and smooth. Better late than never

Why didn't the single-SIM get updated to 4.2.2

I've been reading this forum lately and I noticed that C2004/5 users got updated to 4.2.2 but I am still at 4.1.2. I suppose it is compatible with my C1905 and if so why didn't Sony push the update? Also is it worth flashing it or should I wait for CM portç

Perhaps because Sony will be releasing 4.3 so they just stopped working on 4.2.2?

While KitKat will be released in a month or two?
From what I've read yes the M will get kitkat but wont be till mid/late 2014
Sent from my C2005 using xda premium
Kitkat is miles away as far as our phone is concerned and there's been no official announcement as of yet.. The one you are referring to in Q1 in 2014 is an android 4.3 update for Xperia M.. I doubt if Sony will release an official 4.2.2 for single sim.. There were talks afloat that it'll directly upgrade to 4.3
Sent from my C2005 using xda app-developers app
If you have a Nexus, sure, you get any new Android versions the day it is released itself. But on the other hand, if you have devices from Samsung or other Original Equipment Manufacturers, then they will first have to skin that particular Android version before they release it for your device.
Skinning is often a tedious job, and making things creative in the new Android version will take some time. This is why we are getting 4.3 Jelly Bean in the first quarter of the coming year for M.
Since KitKat has done away with fragmentation, it has the potential to even run on older devices (devices released after mid to late 2012). The Xperia M is sure to get a KitKat update, but that will be a long time in coming. It's pretty obvious that we will get CyanogenMod or its derivatives or AOSP and its derivatives long before the official one.
Ok thanks guys. Wish I could give you a thanks but the app won't let me

Now 4.3 is already old. Discussion about 4.4

As we can see, Many manufacturers like Samsung, HTC have already updated their flagship with 4.3 which is we are yet to receive. HTC already announced 4.4 will be available in 90 days that's by Jan end. Can we expect it any sooner

4.4? Hardly likely. There'll be a 4.3, I'm sure, but I don't believe there's going to be a 4.4. The Z1 and, possibly, the Z Ultra, being the latest flagships, I feel, would be the only candidates for it.

From 4.2 to 4.3 officially there is no difference except for smoothness, and richer use gpu. As far as 4.4, wise battery usage, full screen mode in apps, richer gpu, better integration of hangout, well memory management. I don think Sony would give up on their phones in just 8 months.

Hi.
This may help people understand why the updates take so long:
www.developer.sonymobile.com/2013/0...-process-and-its-improvements-for-android-4-3
Btw, does the ZL still gets warm easily, like from 23°C to 44° C (73 F / 111 F), while playing games (NFS MW, or other "heavy tasks") on 4.2.2? (Mine is running 4.1.2)
It's quite annoying :/ I've heard the Media Server battery leak has been corrected, at least. Heard nothing about the warming problem.
I'm quite sure 4.4 will be available for the Z series. Isn't it supposed to be optimized to support even 512MB RAM devices?

Thanks for your reply. Can you specify if your ZL really getting hot is on 4.2.2? Have you tried any 4.3 based ROM?
Is there any? I'm about to update from 4.1.2 and I'm wondering if this warming issue is still there :/
Seems like the waiting is too long for some. Ha.
4.4 will be here for the ZL as Sony wants to get its goal to be the third biggest smartphone maker, if it wants it,
it needs to support its devices.
But, can we just have a bug-free Jelly Bean mean while? Dang. Any custom 4.2.2 ROM?
The new features of Kit Kat are really appealing, several of them, actually n.n

4.2.2 stock rom is not bad except that heating issue. Update is really improved performance. and for 4.3 you can try cm Rom for which you have to unlock bootloader. So I have not tried any. As per recent tweets 4.3 and 4.4 news will out this week. I don see any problem updating to 4.2.2. If you don't like it you can flash back previous Rom.

Thanks! I'll update to 4.2.2 in some hours... It's 4:15 AM here in Peru n.n How bad the heating issue is still present.
I may try a 4.3 ROM so I can see if it's fixed :/ It's possible to relock the bootloader. Don't want to try?
Yeah, some more days and well have news about 4.3 and 4.4. I hope Sony gives us dates for the oficial 4.3 updates and
positive news for us about 4.4. I've never been the updates fan, my Xperia Pro never got to ICS... It's running so nicely with GB til now.
But 4.4 does have several interesting improvements. Maybe I can update it to 4.4!
Does anyone know what does it take for a device to be suitable for 4.4 update?
As there has been words about 4.4 for older devices.
Maybe it's too son to ask n.n

What heat issue? 44c is pretty normal...
You're running a game on 1920x1080 without any active cooling in a closed device.
Heck the next gen consoles can't even run 1920x1080 on their platform.

It's an issue because not ALL (not even many) other smartphones like this one (full HD, no active cooling) have this heating problem.
Does the Galaxy S4 heats like this? Does the Xperia Z1, maybe?
I know the processor and GPU are working and are making use of energy thus some heat is normal,
but that the device goes from iddle 23° C to 37 and 44° C after not 20 minutes of playing is definitely an issue.
It even gets warm when browsing (Dolphin). This is annoying. Other than that, the device is excelent.
My Razr i only rarely used to get this hot! Actually, I can remember only 2 times when it got to 44° C
and I think it was because of a bug caused by Fuit Ninja, cause in 5 months of playing and using it dialy it never got hot
like the ZL on 4.1.2 and the latest 2.67 build. (As said coolrevi).
I used to use the Razr i proportionally the same as I use the ZL. So, no, it definitely something to look into. I hope official 4.3
and later 4.4 have this problem solved. Or, I don't know, maybe I have a defective unit!

Reply: Been using this as my daily driver since the day I bought my phone. Works exactly as you would expect.
IR doesn't work on any custom rom so far and you'd have to use something like titanium backup to move apps to SD.
The camera button works just fine. All in all flash with confidence.

Have you tried DIRECTORY BIND in your ZL?
I don't have an SD card in the moment so I can't test, anyone
knows if Directory Bind works for the ZL in 4.1 or 4.2? Mine is running stock 4.2.
Let's go to the Sony Twitter acc and news room to ask for this feature in 4.3 and 4.4!

Pd: Looks like battery is draining in no more than 10 hours of moderate to constant
usage, no gaming, all staminas on and screen brightness at 15%.
Is this normal for 4.2 in the ZL or should I perform a factory reset
cause I didn't do it when I flashed stock 4.2 on my carrier's 4.1... Sorry for the of topic. I'm on the go!

its about time for an update. i hope we get a stable build.
it is just the update to 8.0.anything right?
And then gotta wait for OTA update or new root method.... so make it + 2 weeks
Agree with "DoubleYouPee" reply..
first waiting for 4.3 update . then wait for root method
On theory, there should be a way to inject root into a modified update file...

If master key vulnerability 3 is not fixed in the update.. It's not hard to root

Agreed. My ZL is in for repair, oddly enough, but are we even sure that they don't mean TrackID is up to version 4.3? It's kinda worded that way in the app store screen-shot posted above.
I can't check, but seem to remember it hovering around v3.8 a few months back.
Sony's been ambiguous about their upgrade path lately. It used to run through 4.3, but now with 4.4 I'm not clear on the schedules...

It could be a mistake out intentional leak regarding 4.3 as the same had been removed from play store. It's no more included in what's New part.

Could be someone had that pointed out to them... based on stuff I've seen in other forum's, I wouldn't be too surprised if the different manufacturer's had someone reading xda...
Fingers crossed for the sturdy update without any bugs....bitting my ZL...and no update for Walkman is a lame move...or maybe direct update...
is 4.3 out by seeing this pic???

ZL 4.3 Screenshots Leaked at BBS GFAN

Same build 10.4.B.X.XXX firmware will come on Xperia Z, ZL, ZR and Tablet Z. White UI exactly same like Android 4.2.2 Xperia Z1. New Xperia Home Launcher version 6.1.A.0.5 is spotted.

P.S. BUILD NOT RELEASED. LEAKED ONLY. ABOUT TO COME.
One benefit of having a non-carrier phone is that I don't have to wait for the carrier to make their mods as well...
One one company to wait for instead of more than one...
4.2 has been very stable in my ZL... Hope 4.3 is like that or much better

Wait with yours phones ready for update because this update is awesome!
If I OTA update my Xperia ZL to 4.3 I loose root right? At least this was the case with previous updates iirc. For those who installed the leak is there a working root method out there?

Yes you would lose root... Not a big deal if you're UB... more of a pain if you're LB...

Will it release for all regions at the same time? I don't think so. I think it will be release in phase based on region. What do you think?

yea ..maybe ...but with the z1 release i saw that many regions got the update more or less within 2 days
when released alpha ver?
I'm going super mad about this update. Been checking Xperia blog, xda and various channels every now and then. I hope Sony do roll out update soon for zl and tablet z by end of the week.

Perhaps they found something wrong and are revising before releasing the update...

But Sony is not BlackBerry. One is a worldwide giant, the other in oxygen support literally. Sony has never done the mistake of BlackBerry. I own a BlackBerry playbook and guess what? Is a dead device, no future upgrade or patches and BlackBerry does not have plans in releasing another tablet.
