Latest Android software available!

SPBonzo — Mon, 05 Feb 2018 10:30:24 GMT

Well, that's what Xperia Companion is telling me when I plug my X Compact into my PC.

But, on clicking on UPDATE and OK to download the new software nothing happens. The new upgrade is meant to be downloading in the background but nothing's happening.

Anyone else experiencing the same?

It does a standard search starting with a short message that a new update is available and then comes to the conclusion that you're on the latest software.

That is normal behaviour.

Your update to Oreo will be available for you in due time, depending on your region and /or provider.

You patience maybe tested during 2 or 3 weeks.

Hi,

That's what is was doing but I now only see the message that new software is available.

Are you saying that this is a false message?

I think it might just be an extra load on servers, try again in a few. Also, make sure that you have enough space on your hard disk plus a stable internet connection.

Yeah, sounds like busy servers to me too.

What happened yesterday was:

I reconnected the Xperia to my PC on three separate occasions and every time the Companion app informed me that an OS update was available and that it would download in the background.

On the fourth attempt I was informed that my software was running with the latest available version.

I connected this morning and was informed that a new software version was available but then told that I was running the latest version on clicking on 'update'.

All very confusing.

@bonzospb

That's normal.

It seeks for udates and comes to the conclusion that 7.1.1 is the most recent for you (at this moment)

It just isn't your turn yet.

Possibly you have to wait one or two weeks depending on region and provider.

I didn't receive any system updates in the last 2 months (even if I tried to update/refresh). I was used to get 1 system update every month last year. What should I do?

It has landed in Russia, Latin America and India so far.

The rest of the world rests in patience.

Is a good thing to be the last in the row. If problems arise with the upgrade others will find solutions

I just read that Samsung has stopped the roll-out of 8.0 due to a bug. Not sure if that is true, but if so I am even more happy to be last in the row !!

Well I've updated my Xperia X compact to oreo and so far I'm impressed.

For starters i play wot blitz, every battle started late but since the update ive not had 1 late start, game runs super smooth.

I get a small hitch when typing a message within the game.. The key's get a bit jumbled ie "overlap" 1 another, but solved by closing and reopening the keypad and typo errors happen "frequfrequ" frequently like that lol.

Album still take 4 ever loading pics:-(

Settings menu is nice, seems a lil more organised.

If i notice any reason not too update i will give u heads up:-)

Still going good... Uk oreo btw

No option to clear cache within the storage settsett PLUS these annannoy typo errors

Now able to turn mobile data

on and off with one click,

Battery life is same as before

Thanks

Don't upgrade to Oreo!

I'm one of the "Guinea pigs" from Russia and those who updated! System Android 8.0 crude and contains many mistakes!

Be the last in line to upgrade to Oreo, in this case, very good!

This morning I got a notification that Oreo was available for download (Vodafone NL). I installed the update with Xperia Companion. First I received build 34.4.A.0.364. Battery gets a bit hot during this update btw :). Immediately after that a second update became available. I am now running 34.4.A.2.19, for now without any complaints.

Don't upgrade To Android 8.0.0 Oreo!

Updated Android 8.0.0 with 34.4.A.0.364 to 34.4.A.2.19 with the hope that many mistakes will be corrected. No, errors are not fixed!

Stay with Android 7.1.1-excellent, stable version. The Oreo is still raw and contains a lot of bugs!
