14.2.A.0.290 vs 14.2.A.1.136

[Matty]

Sorry if this has been mentioned before but i a few days ago via PC Companioin updated my Z1 to 4.3.

After intial issues of certain webistes not loading, facebook not displaying images, linkedin not displaying images aswell as a sky sports widget not working correctly it seems to have sorted itself out -  i think!

HOWEVER i have just noticed that although the update is 4.3 i am still on 14.2.A.0.290 why has this not updated to 14.2.A.1.136.

Apologies in advance if this is a stupid question!

I'm just letting you know how it works ie: Firmware updates

And yes ASUS Phonepad or Padphone

And Matty I manually flashed and rooted my UK Sim free Z1 with the .136 firmware but as I'm rooted all the apps pre installed have been removed aka bloatware so some of the issues reported I don't have

So I'm stuck with "not fit for purpose" Bluetooth until the Operators approve it? 

(Edit: Thommo, I'm not having a dig at you but like others we're disappointed - to say the least - that what was working in 4.2.2 is now not in 4.3; and any possibilty of a fix is up to the UK Operators?  I have a Galaxy Note II and I'm going back to that.)

I've upgraded mine to 136 last week, the phone is slower and buggy since then, need to restart few times a day, heats up VERY fast every time I turn the mobile data on, it heats up a little after 30 minutes of use BEFORE, and now it gets hot in "3" minutes AFTER the **bleep** update, and it's getting hot while I'm typing now, seriously is this an update or I'm being trolled by Sony??

I've updated my Z1 (India) from .290 to .136 last week and noticed some issues with the firmware,

Sound Enhancement Settings won't work.

Lower Incoming Ringer Volume both in notifications and call.

Hope Sony fixes up these issues asap.

I have noticed a huge drop in battery life since the notification to update appeared on wednesday, so i thiught I better get my **bleep** in gear and so it..... seems no change, still loosing battery faster than appropriate.

Today I'm going to a music festival and I'll be lucky if my phone makes it to 5pm, when it would  normally still be going at 5pm the next day! Way to go sony!!! Not
