U mean that Sony has no OTA option for firmware updates?

Yes there is such an option at Settings but it still shows everything is up to date !!!???

Bro, once you have eaten the forbidden fruit, there's no turning back.

The places where I stay and frequent are all LTE ready. When my wife's iPhone 5 keeps registering a consistent score of 25mbps at home with near zero latency while my nexus 4 is creeping at a snail's pace of 5mbps, you'll know this is what you ultimately want

LTE is consistently faster than my maxis home fiber of 10mbps but on the flip side, its a huge battery drain

actually I think only business man need LTE

I digress. Maxis 3G is getting worse by the day, huge latency during the day that even checking your gmail is so tediously slow and messages may need a few tries to retrieve. Facebook images load poorly or doesnt load at first try. Its gotten so bad that Sometimes, I even use my wife's iPhone 5 as a hotspot to connect into.

yes lte is fast but data plan is expensive too. for browsing is still ok. if for downloading than is nightmare liao..

snapdragon 800 has few skus. One with HSDPA+ and another with LTE built in. You might need to check whether it is hardware or software limitation.

i believe if it is LTE ready, it will be activated at first for sure.

if got LTE ready why sony want make it 2 version?

It just take me about 2.0 - 2.5 hours from about 5% to 100%
I am using my Samsung cable+ ipad USB charger

check the output of your charger

usually for smartphones it's 5v. but it some cases with big batteries, like note 2, companies will provide a charger with higher output. not sure whether it's the case for z ultra

it is 1.5A output.
