Xperia Tablet Z Android 4.2.2, JellyBean Update Now Available
The Xperia Tablet Z Android 4.2.2, JellyBean update is now available.
Owners of the LTE version of the device with the model number SGP321 have reported that their tablets now have given them the option to upgrade to the latest software. It brings the build version up to 10.3.1.A.0.244 which is similar to other Sony flagship device currently running the software.
There are a few screenshots showing the device running the software that can be seen here.
The update has not been rolling out for the Wi-Fi models; however, judging from Sony's usual course of action, it should start rolling out soon.
The update brings some changes to the device's interface including adjustments to the notification bar as it is now detached from the three capacitive buttons and is now located on top of the interface, the same place it is found on most Android products. The three capacitive buttons have been moved from the left hand side of the bottom bar to the center and it is in line with what most Android users would find on their devices.
A Nexus 4 Android 4.3, JellyBean update ROM was released by developers Paranoid Android earlier this week.
The team posted up instructions on how to download the install the software on the smartphone on their Google+ page. However, they also cautioned users that this build, which is only a preview version, has had some issues.
"The build still has problems with root," they wrote. "If you follow Android news you know that Google changed access rights and the permission system, it's not easy right now. That means PAPrefs will not be able to write hybrid props. Hybrid engine is OK, but you can't communicate to it."
They advise those who could live with the issues to download the new ROM if they want to, but told the rest to wait until the root has been fixed to use it. The CyanogenMod team has also started working on its own Android 4.3-based CM 10.2.
