Finally! KitKat confirmed for Xperia ZR! :)
Though it will take some time. They are planning to release it in mid-Q2.

Got it!

I will go ahead with rooting my ZR right now as it is still long way out for 4.4

I am on Idea network and occasionally see this strange looking question mark in the status bar which when dragged down shows a prompt to sign in to Idea network but does not actually do anything when clicked.

Any idea what this would be?

in mobile network settings/network mode select any one, either WCDMA or GSM.. once check

I am almost always on GSM only. Rarely when I need to book a ticket or shop online I switch to WCDMA. Never on Dual.

But I did not understand your reply...

I am not too sure I should run and get this KitKat for my ZR considering the access restrictions to SD card placed on the applications. The phone was already crippled by not letting me move applications to SD card.

yeah! already we get only 4 GB memory, and SD card restrictions will make it worse
Moreover, I don't see any exciting feature in KitKat to look out for

KitKat is here for ZR at last.

Tell me your experience. I am worried about changes due to restrictions on SD card access.
Also if by any stroke of lightning luck Sony has permitted us to move applications to SD card.

Was yours rooted previously?

It is unrooted now. I don't do much on my cell phone except watching sitcoms,anime etc and sometime browsing. I will update it overnight.
