Just joined this forum now after viewing it religiously over the last few weeks for info on the UK unbranded 4.2.2 update.
Apologies to anyone glancing along the forum pages and seeing the latest response was only a few moments ago and delving into this in the hope I was going to be saying it's gone live!!
Unfortunately, still no update.
I completely share the frustrations of all other members without the update yet. Yes I know and I'm sure others have also been told that there are ways around it but in reality it really shouldn't be necessary to find ways around it.
All it simply needs is for Sony to come out and say that they are aware the update to the UK unbranded handsets has yet to be pushed out but we anticipate it will be released on X date.
Is that really so difficult? The generic scripted responses anyone receives are absolutely pointless in supporting the customer query.
This level of inadequate response is one of the reasons I tend to deviate so much between manufacturers, phone providers and operating systems. I've never bothered with Apple, not because I have anything against them, but you have to admire their comms, product rollout and updates. I'm sure it's not without it flaws some of the time but they make a bloody good fist of making sure the customer knows what is going on with product launches and system updates.
Sony launched the xperia z as a real contender for top dog in the android world. I think they successfully opened alot of eyes with this handset. They are however now successfully alienating alot of people like myself who bought into this handset.
A while back when I first had a HTC Hero phone the android update process was also completely devoid of any info. Back then it appeared the best way of getting the update was to make sure you have an unbranded handset. I have now noticed though that this has gradually changed and it seems the unbranded handsets are now the slowest to receive them. Vodafone and Three have uppped their game lately and appear pretty quick, O2 seems to lag behind a bit and EE, T Mobile and Orange also seem pretty slow. From scanning the various forums it seems only Vodafone, Three and O2.
I'm reading that the Xperia Ultra Z is likely to hit the UK in September with 4.2.2. I sincerely hope that we are not still waiting until then.
The only consolation at the moment is that I have noticed that this forum has many threads of issues with the 4.2.2 update. Not great for the people that have updated but is this why we haven't seen the update yet and Sony's silence is to not draw too much attention to it in the media as a damage limitation exercise?
