Hi Guys,

I was just in the process of setting up drivers and such on my Win 8 Machine for Flashtool to install the UK Unbranded .453 onto my 3 Branded Device and what pops up in the Background... Sony Companion with .253...

Updating right now!

So 3UK Users go and have a peek!

Enjoy!

I have an unbranded rom but am on O2 in the UK. No update here. Seems strange that they will update different networks at different times in the same country. Sure there is a method to their madness but frustrating!:confused:

Yes..

Couldn't wait any more for unbranded update, so flashed my 3 handset back to 3 ROM and update came in straight away, yippee..:)
Nice to have stock browser back, but lost "my files" file explorer? can any one post this please, downloaded a few of market but nothing compares to this.
Overall awesome update, very quick and responsive, menus and screens seem allot blacker now as well.

I'm on 3 UK and don't have any update notification either on sony companion or OTA :(

Edit: Oh maybe because i flashed an unbranded rom. I take it this update isn't 4.2?

Edit 2: Eh, i just manually updated to a non-branded version. Seems way smoother so far and loving the colour adjustments.
