1. I just ordered a Sony XPERIA Z1 Compact D5503 International model because I found an incredibly cheap price ($350). Just noticed that headphones aren't listed. Does this unit usually come with headphones?
2. The operating system is listed as "v4.3 (Jelly Bean), upgradable to v4.4.2 (KitKat)". Will this phone automatically update via Sony once I get it set up?
3. Is KitKat v4.4.2 the most recent manufacturer approved ROM, or is v4.4.4 available (or about to be available) from Sony?
4. Does Sony's version of Android v4.3 allow moving apps to the SD card? Will v4.4 allow it?
Looking forward to my new phone and participation on this new forum. Thanks in advance for your replies.

1. Some regional yes while some others no. Hong Kong comes with nothing in the box only a power adapter with usb cable and Taiwan got an earphone even with a docking in the box. Your S2 indeed is going to receive a major upgrade from S5 Alpha 4.7"(s805, 3G ram, 16M cam). Samsung changed the design of S5 Alpha back to the S2 and almost identical but in incredibly high price expected. lol
2. Many place should already received the 4.4.4 OTA notice but not all.
3. 4.4.4 from Sony
4. only 4.3 but you can do that with root on 4.4.4

Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean in charge of operations. Due to its incredibly slim profile and older generation quad-core processor, it was plagued with over-heating issues. We are not sure if those were resolved by Huawei, but if not, now is a good time for the company to make some optimizations and improvements.
The Huawei Ascend P6 was just officially confirmed to get the Android 4.4 KitKat treatment. The Chinese have taken it to Baidu to announce that the super slim smartphone will be getting the latest major Android release in January. Alongside it will come the new version of the company's proprietary Emotion UI.
Huawei is among the first to announce its KitKat upgrade plans, but is surely not the only one to skip Android 4.3 and move straight to the new KitKat version.
Android 4.4 KitKat was announced on the last day of October. It brings Project Svelte UI optimizations, bigger UI icons, removes the widgets from the app drawer, new Hangouts SMS/MMS/Gtalks unified hub, new Email app, new Phone app with nearby search and more. It even lowers the hardware requirements for the Android OS.
And the Ascend P6 owners will be able to enjoy all of these new features in just two months. http://www.gsmarena.com/huawei_ascend_p6_gets_android_44_kitkat_in_january-news-7195.php
all i hope ... they allow us to put widgets in lockscreen :crying:
Hi guys, Samsung are rolling out Android 4.4.4 to their mobile devices. But I have not seen any reports of that update for our Tab S or even the Tab Pro. Any news on this?
And what specific changes did Samsung add to Touch-wiz in this update (to the devices it's been released on).
Thanks
A new Samsung Galaxy S5 Android 4.4.4 KitKat update is hitting the phone to solve problems and also to prepare it for the upcoming Voice over LTE technology.
The Android Kitkat updates have been hitting the phones of major carriers but the last several either caused new bugs or didn’t solve all of them, prompting the 4.4.4.
“One of the devices that’s in the midst of an Android 4.4.4 KitKat update push is the Samsung Galaxy S5. Just about a week ago, the Galaxy S5 Android 4.4.4 KitKat update hit the Verizon Galaxy S5. The update was a bit of a surprise given how slow Verizon typically is to Android updates. The update’s change log was never publicized though there’s chatter about it fixing a Bluetooth issue. Today though, Verizon is rolling out a bunch larger Android 4.4.4 KitKat build,” according to Gotta Be Mobile.
The new update includes fixing the problem of an incorrect number of unread emails on the notification screen, and audio of the Bluetooth headset, and a camera shutters sound issue.
More tracking features have also been added to the S-Health, including Weight, Sleep, Stress, and Coach.
The update also includes tech that prepares the device for the upcoming VoLTE technology, which enables calls to sound better and clearer while having users talk on the phone while being able to use the Internet at the same time.
While Verizon’s S5 is the first model to get the 4.4.4., the other models are expected to receive it soon.
Meanwhile, some variants of the Galaxy S4, Galaxy Tab 3 and Galaxy Tab 4 have been getting the Android 4.4.2 KitKat firmware recently.
The latest Google Android build is Android 4.4.4 KitKat, but that is only coming out for the very latest Samsung devices such as the Galaxy Alpha and the Galaxy Note 4–and the Galaxy S5–at present.
In the United States, Sprint are working on releasing the Android 4.4.4 KitKat for the Galaxy Note 3 and Galaxy S5, while T-Mobile could be rolling out the update for the Galaxy S4.
Some United Kingdom carriers and Optus in Australia could also be making the update available for the Galaxy S5 and Galaxy S5 LTE-A.
Samsung could eventually release the Android 4.4.4 KitKat update to its other phones, but at present, Samsung users will have to stick with a slightly older Android build.

You're not even serious LOL. the Tab S had only been out 3 months. Samsung has been known to update their devices up to 2 years out from release.

This is their flagship device. I'm very confident we'll see the L Preview and their next iteration of the "L", after that.

Agreed. Looking forward to it.
That was a nice joke
My guess also is that Samsung will skip directly to L for the Tab S. They don't do frequent updates, that's true. So why would they bother with a relatively insignificant interim update?
Dear Mr. Steven B,
The situation with updates depends on several aspects.
If the update has not been released by Google for this type of processor, will not be released officially.
Best regards!

-.- They are unacceptable google and Samsung. Τhe one over the other (Sorry for my English)
That's a load of bull. There are MANY devices out there with the same processor that have lollipop. This one's all Samsung.
They really don't want to release it.
Fortunately, we have great developers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-neo/development/p-motion-rom-ll-t3257790
We must wait untill the bugs will be solved.
been this rabbit hole before. you will never have a custom rom with no bugs. EVER
Samsung said the s3/s3 neo are not powerful to handle TW Lollipop, dafuq? The HTC HD2 is a windows device and has a working port of marshmallow ?. So Samsung is forcing us to buy a new device to get updates. I read that 50% of Samsung phones can get lollipop but only 5% received it -_-
They're ridicolous! There are many devices that are less powerful of our S3 Neo and they've got Lollipop. The only answer to all this is that they're forcing us to buy new Samsung phones, of course.
How to get Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow?
If you want official Sony firmware you have to change your phone to Z3 at least. Z1 compact was dropped and will never get any new version.

If there is no Android M then this is my last phone from Sony. I mean, this is ****. State of the art device two years ago and EOLed already. They must be kidding us.
In my opinion Sony is actually one of the best. But i agree. it's kind of sad that we can't have Sony marshmallow firmware for this great device. It is'nt even close being outdated yet.
Wondering if we will get one ui 4.1 as an update to 12 or do you think we will skip it when we go to 12L?
Are we getting 12L. If so which One UI will go with it?
All i know is the S22's are already running 4.1 and there's a new Fold3 SM-F926U carrier BVAA update just out below link was hoping it was 4.1 anyone already running it care to chime in ?

In one of the Samsung video, they mentioned in One UI 4.1, the camera will work directly with app Instagram, Snapchat and so on. Will this be available in older device like the Note 20 Ultra? Or is it just exclusive only to the S22 series?
There is a test build on checkfirm for WWE Fold 3 - Build CVB6
