Reports say that many Xperia T2 Ultra owners have been getting their doses of Lollipop goodness over-the-air from various countries like the Czech Republic, Germany, and Taiwan. Do take note that the single-SIM version is the only one getting the update as of now. S

Since it already started rolling out we can expect it to hit Philippines in a few week’s time. As for the single-SIM Xperia C3, users in Taiwan have reported to be also getting their update, so it won’t be too long as well for it to reach our local shores.

Some of the niceties to expect when the update hits your devices are as follows:

  • Fresh, streamlined looks – based on Google’s material design, but retaining our minimalistic approach to interface and application design
  • New look notifications and lock screen – with fully customizable settings, so you only get the information you really need
  • Multi user profiles and guest mode – making it easy for family and friends to use your device, or the creation of dual environments for work and play…
  • Android for Work – not only are business-ready Xperia smartphones and tablets unique devices for work – with waterproof form factors, great battery life and productivity features – they will now also be part of the Android for Work ecosystem
  • Better storage control and customisation – with the option to easily move applications from internal memory to SD card – giving you more control over your content, particularly useful for devices with slightly less space

The update will first arrive on the northern parts of Europe, with other countries following suit. Also keep in mind that timing and availability may vary by market and/or carrier.

New features that users should expect include:

  • Support for multiple SIM cards – the new update now lets you use more than one SIM card on a device with multiple SIM slots.
  • Device Protection – your lost or stolen device will remain locked until you sign in with your Google account – even if someone resets your device to factory settings. According to the page it will be available on most Android devices that run Android 5.1 in addition to Nexus 6 and Nexus 9.
  • High-definition voice calling – as the name suggests, voice calls should be clearer when two phones running Android 5.1 call each other.

In addition, the update also rolls out enhancements that let you join Wi-Fi networks and control your paired Bluetooth devices straight from Quick Settings.

Android Wear to get GPS support and offline music

Daniel Morial Leave a comment



Google‘s very own smartwatch operating system, Android Wear, will receive its first major update since its initial release. It will bring some useful features that could make our wrist computers better.

While Apple Watch is still cooking behind the Cupertino doors, Android Wear watches will get updated with useful features that an individual can make use of, especially the sporty ones.

First off, Wear will now support GPS functionality, if available, for tracking your routes without having your phone with you. Second, you can now make use of the built-in storage of your Wear watches for offline music playback. You can leave your phone at home for a run and just pair any compatible Bluetooth headphones.

The update will come soon to current Android Wear smartwatches like the LG G Watch, Moto 360, and Samsung Gear Live. While the latest Sony Smartwatch 3 will come pre-loaded of the said update when purchased, though it is still for pre-order where available.

Check out our LG G Watch review here to know more about Android Wear watches.
