C6506: .292 update finally out - Sony Xperia ZL

Received the update early today.... I think other versions of the ZL got it 4 months or so ago.... It was 1.5mb and was received OTA. Maybe it's a signs 5.0 is on it way.... End of March would be great.

I'm skeptical of it showing up that early but that would be nice.

So what's different with this update ?

Nothing major, it's suppose to be a name fix and minor bug fix.

My phone is acting up now since the update. I cannot start up my phone without it plugged in the power even though battery is 93. Help? Never ever had this issue.

Try using the manual reset button where the sim card is located (while turned on hold for 10 sec should vibrate about 3 times, soft reset is about 5 sec btw )
If that doesn't work, use the PC companion to do a full recovery.
One of these 2 should fix any issues hopefully, but it kind of seems like a hardware issue.

I second that. Upgraded my C6506 to 292 from 283, rooted debloated stock, same apps and settings. For whatever reason, 292 was noticeably lagging in every task, even after a full wipe and flashing ftf from scratch. Got fed up with it and restored 283 from backup - no problems whatsoever, runs nice and smooth again.

after using .292 since it came out, I can say that it is one of the worst updates ever.... Phone is getting worse everyday....
The XPERIA Z has been added to Vodafone list for Lollipop testing... so hopefully in about 2 months we should see it on the ZL

I just got back from the at&t store and they were gonna exchange the phone but the new phone did the same thing. Also, one of the employees tried it on their personal phone and it did the same thing. Hmmm.
Maybe area related?

Mine did that too. Fixed after I rooted. I'm now running stock but rooted and the check for updates now works fine.
My son just got an S3 yesterday -- I'll have to see if this is working on his. He hasn't rooted yet, but he will in the next day or so; hence, maybe it's a moot point.

Did anyone else get an update this morning?

Could this possibly be Jellybean? I'd prefer to use wi-fi to download it, just curious as to whether or not anyone else has an idea..
No update and probably it will be on Sam mobile by now, I didn't see it earlier so I doubt is jellybean

Before this gets way out of hand, what are you running now? ROM/Kernel (version numbers)
I just checked mine and I got nothing.
I have a feeling what the OP hasnt said yet is that he just bought the phone and is getting LH2 now while everyone else got it 5 weeks ago.

I've had the phone since release. I reverted back to stock (VALEM) about two weeks ago and this morning I received a notice for the update. I went home just now to check it out and yeah, it was (VALH2). I just found that odd that it took that long to get a notice. Apologies. I wasn't trying to stir anything up.
Could be an update to fix the reset hack problem

No OTA, Defective device?

I got my GS3 On ATT from a preorder and i've never once recieved an OTA, im completely stock never rooted or used any custom roms before. When i go to settings>about device>software update, i get Communication failed, the server is currently unavailable your device will automatically check for an update in 48 hours.
I did some googling and found a guy back in july that had the same issue and ATT replaced his phone.
Never had a single issue with my phone before. Is the phone defective because of this? Is there a quick fix?
Honestly don't know.. I have a friend at work that is experiencing the same issue .. my phone received all updates with no problems.
They obtained there phone from BestBuy .. told her to take the phone back to them and show them what going on. This was this past Friday .. so Monday (tomorrow), I should know what BestBuy did for her.
Mine always says that too

Why not just root? Then you can apply the update yourself.

have you tried kies?
Updates are based on priority of the IMEI. So this week can't get update but next week you can. It's how they (att) stop the download from being congested.

The update isn't available through kies, I'm thinking about rooting but i might as well just wait for the 4.1 update.

This I don't believe one bit .. the girl that I was talking about in my previous post .. she was still on I747UCALEM .. she got hers the day they were released .. never received the update to I747UCALG1 or the newest one I747UCALH9.
My Garnet Red version came with I747UCALG1 already installed (box has sticker on it stating "updated") .. and I received the LH9 the same day it was released OTA.
The fact that her phone is MISSING not 1 update .. but 2 .. tells me there is a problem with the phone, not AT&T sending out OTA's by IMEI priority.

First hiccup in two months with my Note2!

Well, it happened, I experienced the first real freezing up yesterday. Everything just became un responsive while on a call, trying to end a call, the person I called couldn't hear me but I showed 3 bars of signal then the dialer froze up and I had to pull the battery out to restart the device. Same exact thing happened on my Mom's note2 today. I can't believe anything could cause this phone to stutter so badly. My phone is stock rooted T Mobile ROM. My mom's is totally stock.
I know all electronics can have the occasional hiccup. Anyone else have this happen? Don't get me wrong, I totally love this phone, gps is solid, navigation got me to a location in an unfamiliar area when I was a bit lost. Google maps had one place on the wrong side of the street 800 ft from it's actual location but I can't be certain if it was a clear night. There was rain in the area.
As I said first hiccup in two months.

Could you please say it again? I couldn't understand if you have a problem with your phone or not.
Sounds like a common application that is installed on both your and your Mom's Note IIs experienced a small problem. Check Notifications to see what may have updated on both phones.
Its really hard to know what causes the freezing as we install different apps everyday. It can be from some apps we just installed or from something else. Luckily for me, I haven't had anything like that since I got this in Oct. 2012. I rooted mine in December but with stock ROM and still perform as great as before.
I usually restart my phone weekly. Its just like something that I used to do in all my old phones. Maybe it helps freeing up some memory.
Some of you root the phone only to keep the stock ROM and stock Kernel, etc.
The phone really does not need it.
Unless you are looking to modify the unit by over clocking it and changing the stock ROM to something exotic, there is no need to root the Note II.
When you flash changes to the unit, there are going to be bugs and other things that pop up now and then.
I have a Sensation runing Sense 4.1, Android 4.0.1, overclocked to 1.83 Mhz, with all types of tweaks. The Note II blows it away in every way, stock.
I will not root it until there is something worth flashing.
The phone just came out a few months ago.
I am sure there is a nice ROM caming down the pipe.
I will be waiting.
I really hope I don't run into this issue with the freezing! I got the phone on release day in store and haven't had any issues thus far.
C.S.
maybe try rebooting every once in a while.... keeps things fresh... i reboot at least once a day.

[Q] Updates/Firmware

Hi,
Got the P6 last friday and loving it but I do have a few issues,
1, What updates are there? I have B106 and was wondering what others there are?
2, When I have my headphones in the volume is very low, Even when volumes at 100% I can just about hear it which is disappointing as I love using my phone to listen to music.
Will our P6 get the next android update (Key Lime Pie) ?
Sorry If i sound dumb, I'm used to custom roming Xperias and Samsung's, Not used to Huawei aha
Headphones in the volume is very low
Hello!
I also have a problem with the headset.
His voice is very soft, and I'm angry that such a phone is all he knows.
I was looking for this solution but have not found anything!
Maybe that other phone owners do not listen to music through the headset?
Unfortunately, the firmware is (B111) did not solve the problem!
I hope you get the info for Huawei developer community and soon solve this big problem ...
DSPpro already tried - did not work
PowerAMP EQ player or set high, it worked just distorted ... etc.
Nothing worked ...
Sorry for my bad english, I hope to understand what I want to say.
I'm from Hungary

I've bought some bluetooth headphones, and these are much louder than headphones plugged in directly. Denon AH-W150. Previously, the volume through my loudest wired headphones was just too low even at maximum volume level. Now around 75% volume is as loud as I need, any more becomes too much.
This solution is used:
Root and system/etc/audio/codec folder delete -- reboot and enjoy

I saw this method but although I have rooted other phones before I do not want to root my P6 as its on contract and I don't want to void my warranty just in case something breaks and I need to have it repaired.

I don't know that I've ever owned a phone that was easier to root than the P6 (using the Eroot method). If you want to hide your root, a factory reset gets it back to factory settings without any signs that you rooted.
How is gaming on p9? Does latest, haviest games lags? I heard that this quadcore of it isnt that great.. Somebody said even real racing 3 lags a bit.. I have galaxy s plus with cm 10.1, and with proper kernel i can play real racing, gta, etc.. What about p9?

P6 not P9 and It really depends, Normal games work perfectly (Subway Surfers etc.) And latest games work okay as well, It all depends on the game that you want to play.

Temple 2 runs smoothly, Not tried real racing but I did have Need for speed most wanted installed and it did lag a little, Still playable though, Im not one to tolerate lag but it wasn't to much, I also think its down to the firmware on the device, Others say that the P6 handles 3D games very well. :good:

I did update from B111 to B116. Lost the gapps and so went back to B111. Fortunately mine is new phone and did not add any personal stuff into yet so don't mind switching firmware versions.

This B111 version drains my battery very very fast. Do you guys have this some problem?
With the B104 i can make a workday or in the weekend almost 2 fulls days with a full charge. (weekend only standy by, work day lots of whatsapp and some calls).
Since I installed B111 the battery is drained in half a working day. Or completely emtpy in weekend from 10:00 until 23:00.
I did the update OTA. Do you guys recommend installing it again from SD-card? Or is this a commen issue with this firmware?

Ok is was afraid of it. Couldnt find any else with problems either.
When i take a look at the accu usage i have Android OS at 79%
All others are below 4%... I think there is something wrong with my installation. I try to install it again today.
