Xperia Z2Sony Mobile has released a new firmware update in the form of build number 23.4.A.1.236 that is rolling for the Xperia Z2 and Z3 series. This compares to the current version of 23.4.A.1.232. We cannot confirm right now whether the update fully patches the Stagefright exploit (in particular CVE-2015-6602).

The update is only live for the Vodafone network in select European countries. It has been released for the Xperia Z3 (D6603), Xperia Z3 Compact (D5803), Xperia Z2 (D6503) and Xperia Z2 Tablet (SGP521). If you have downloaded the update, let us know your thoughts below.

Update: Looks like the Stagefright exploit remains.

Xperia Home_10.0.A.0.4_4_FramedSony Mobile updated the Xperia Marshmallow Concept to the newest build yesterday (read here). In amongst the changes is an updated home launcher with build number 10.0.A.0.4. As well as now allowing you to uninstall/disable most preinstalled applications, one change we didn’t notice yesterday was the ability to change the icon appearance.

A new option in the Home settings menu will allow you to use Framed, Glass or a Round icon appearance, a nice additional customisation option for those that like to tinker. See the difference between all modes below.

Concept Marshmallow_MDB08M.Z1.2186_2Sony Mobile has released a new build of the Concept for Android Marshmallow firmware on Xperia Z3 and Z3 Compact devices. The latest firmware (build number MDB08M.Z1.2186-somc) makes changes to auto brightness (the darkest level is now darker than before) and updates the Sony Email app to version 11.0.A.0.5 which brings a number of bug fixes (see below).

For those that might be wondering, the new software does include security patches up to the December level. This is despite the screenshot that shows the security patches to November only (Sony has said that the date was not corrected in this latest build release). The update should be hitting all of those involved in the beta. As before, if you have any feedback, use the included Beta app or post your comments to the Google+ community page.
