unable to update to .205 via Sony Bridge (Mac)

Has someone managed to update to .205 with Sony Bridge for Mac? Mine tells me that the phone is updated (while is still .201).

thannks for helping!

Yes, it also depends on your carrier network services. I think it doesn't matter if you have or don't have a 3G/4G abonnement, because the updates only work on Wi-Fi connection.

I had the same problem. They said it depends on the phones' serial number and date of manufacture. Maybe yours is a new one, too. I upgraded mine via OTA Update . Just wait and be patient.

Thanks! Just a question: what is OTA Update?

OTA stands for Over The Air. It's a method of mobile companies distribute their firmware/software updates.

Settings > About Phone > Software Update.

According to you...might it be depending on the  GSM provider? A friend of mine has also a Sony Xperia SP and hers updated automatically. However both her and me don't have a 3G/4G abbonement, so we mainly use it with Wi-FI, but she has a different GSM provider. Also, when I tap on System Update, a message appears saying "mobile data disabled. could not search for updates". I switched on the "mobile data" but still no updates...
