I don't experience "data drop outs", but do get authentication problem sometimes when location based wifi is activated or if I activate wifi manually. Even if its a saved network, I have to manually select the network and then press "connect". Hopefully 4.2.2 will sort this out. I have unlocked bootloader, so will probably have to flash using FT or Sony Companion as OTA can brick?

Re: 4.2.2 is coming soon....

My only concerns about it being released anytime soon is the fact they released the sudden death fix a short time ago. Surly if they were going to release 4.2.2 this month it would have been packaged in the same update. Please Mr Sony atleast give us a confirmed rollout date.

Re: 4.2.2 is coming soon....

Maybe the guy above has a world FW or version of the phone. There's different WiFi bands for different parts of the world, Japanese WiFi bands are slightly different to European ones. Maybe it's configured from the region it's from....

4.2.2 is not a major update. I can wait. But, i really need a wi-fi fix, which doesn't seem to be here.
[Xperia Z General] Dsteppa:
It's true that 4.2 isn't a major Android update, but Sony might include their own major improvements.

For example: calibration software

camera fix?

led fix

And many more things.
[Xperia Z General] Hellscythe:
whats the camera fix?

the only thing with the camera now i can think of is that sometimes it lets it WAY too much light giving my photos a very white look.

also the camera takes forever to open

Due to the fact, that Sony just released the .434 Update i wouldn't hold my breath for a near 4.2.2 update. More realistic would be the end of April or mid May

Hope that this time Sony does the work and make us happy.

After the fw release, stamina funtion was not working, and display brightness auto adapt doesn't work anymore!!!

Hope they fixe it asap.I'm expecting this release in April - May
[Xperia Z General] iDroid8:
I've never had an Android phone let alone a Sony, but they said that 4.2 would arrive soon after release. Is this normal, did the Xperia T (their last flagship if I'm not mistaken) take this long to be upgraded?
[Xperia Z General] jonmorris:
The intelligent auto mode needs adjusting to stop applying so much heavy-handed noise reduction on just about everything. Manual mode is far better, but many people won't want to use any manual settings, hence the auto function.
[Xperia Z General] noj78:
Re: 4.2.2 is coming soon....

I hope it gets the dual drop down notification bar.

That's really the OK only big change 4.2.2 brought to the nexus 7.
[Xperia Z General] jonmorris:
The dual drop down (one finger, or two fingers on a phone - or left/right on a tablet) is part of 4.2 so I do expect it will be in there, along with lock screen widgets.

For me, these aren't as important as Google Now, but obviously I'd like to always have the latest features on the XZ - just as I'll want the next Android ASAP after Google I/O.

I've got a Nexus 4 as well, and I know that post I/O, in a matter of hours/days, I'll probably have Android 4.3 or perhaps 5.0 depending on how big the next version is going to be.

On my Xperia Z I'll expect to have to wait a few months, and on my Motorola Razr i - well, that'll be a no!

[Xperia Z General] biffsmash:
No I mean 4.2.2 on Nexus devices lose notifications on wifi with the screen off even with the setting to keep wifi enabled. It is a google starred bug that means whatsapp/gmail etc notifications on Nexus devices stop when you turn the screen off whether you want them to or not. They come through sometimes 15 minutes after they are sent to you. It's a pain and what caused me to sell my Nexus 4.
[Xperia Z General] Lyechee:

Re: 4.2.2 is coming soon....

There is no problem with notifications led,it works fine without stamina mode.

I read on Sony site that they stop it in stamina mode to conserve the battery.
[Xperia Z General] Don MC:
There IS a problem with the LED. It won't work on some phones. Not even with Stamina mode OFF. My phone is one of them and I can confirm there is a problem.
[Xperia Z General] gm007:
Re: 4.2.2 is coming soon....

Maybe hardware problem?

Did you check it in service menu?
[Xperia Z General] :
The problem with the LED notification not working for SMS, email and other notification aside from charging only happens when you have "Automatic Restore" enabled. The only way to get it working again is to do a reset and make sure you NEVER enable automatic restore when you set the phone up. It worked for me.
[Xperia Z General] Don MC:
Software problem. Explained below.

Yes, I know that. Just don't want to bother with the factory reset and setting up everything again.
[Xperia Z General] Dsteppa:
Yup that's true, even though you can enable it after a while. Once you have set-up all your apps and such it's really not a problem, after that you should never have notification problems anymore.

Yesterday I installed a rooted rom and did an automatic restore after I setup everything correct @ my previous rom, now everything is working as it's supposed to.

The only thing I never saw was the NFC logo in the status bar.

Sacrifices must be made;)

Rather do it now and not later when you have even MORE stuff that you don't want to lose. Or just wait for Sony to fix it.... some day.... ;)

I don't know why you're waiting for the Update in March. Sony nowhere stated that the update will be released in March. All they said was "close to the Xperia Z release" no date has been given by Sony. March was just a rumour
[Xperia Z General] mddsd:
Well Sony's definition of "soon" is likely not the same as ours... :)

Sony said they were releasing Android 4.1 for the Sony Xperia Tablet S "soon" after the release and has yet done so after 7 months...

Let's just hope that we are proven wrong and the update comes shortly.

[Xperia Z General] :
there is an option to disable this in the advanced wifi settings my friend.
[Xperia Z General] biffsmash:
No matter what settings you set for wifi in advanced settings on the 4.2.2 android software, wifi stops sending and receiving notifications when the screen is off. It is a starred google bug report issue and is thus far unresolved. Get a nexus device, turn on wifi, set whatever settings you like, then turn the screen off and send yourself an email/whatsapp/msn message, whatever you like and wait.. it'll likely take about 15 minutes to reach you. Better yet, ping the device on the network and the packets will not get through.

QUOTES**

Please describe the problem in detail. Be sure to include:

- Steps to reproduce the problem.

Wifi will drop connection after a period of time (looks to be while in deep sleep. Shows normal signal strength but google sync has been lost (grey status bar icons) and no connection

- What happened.

Connection drops completely

- What you think the correct behavior should be.

Shouldnt drop connection at all. [sic]

Happens on both Nexus 4 and Nexus 7

Setting static IP does not fix. Keep wifi on during deep sleep set as always. Have to toggle wifi on/off to get it to connect again.

quote "Post number 40065, named “Android 4.2 Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 the WiFi automatically dropped “, 464 people participated in the discussion, open posted on November 20, 2012, February 1, 2013 off stickers, but Google until now did not acknowledge the Android 4.2/4.2.1 exist any impact Nexus equipment the WiFi experience the problem.

The description of the problem: after a period of time, the WiFi connection will automatically turn off. Appears to be in a deep sleep, the signal strength display normal Google Sync has not used, the icon is grayed out, has dropped. If you want to reconnect, you must use the the WiFi switch button."

[Xperia Z General] root82:
I think they should skip it and be fast with 5.0. 4.2 is causing problems even with Nexus devices. Also CM 10.1 is having unusual issues because of that. Just consider Bluetooth bugs. So why have 4.2 in May, maybe even in a buggy state if Google brings 5.0 in May?

Those few changes are not worth wasting development time in my eyes.

You guys want a 4.2 update, but it's really not as worth it as some of you are thinking. Rather get the 4.3 or 5.0 quickly.
[Xperia Z General] lee480:
HTC also launched HTC One with 4.1 so your argument is invalid. And Xperia Tablet S is by Sony Electronics not Sony Mobile.
[Xperia Z General] biffsmash:
I agree 4.2 should be skipped. Google still haven't sorted wifi and bluetooth bugs and I doubt Sony would either.
[Xperia Z General] DreadPirateDan:
I believe that the sony tabelt s and sony xperia tablet s were made by the sony viao division, whereas the phones are made by sony mobile and hence the more dev-friendly nature. The zperia Z tablet is the first tablet made by sony mobile. I've had a few too many beers so my memory may be jumbling up some of that, but the point remains; the tablets were made by one mob, and the phones of late that have been dev friendly were made by another mob. So you may be banging your head against a wall with the petition for you xperia s tab :(.

However, regardless of what version of android it is, the stock sony firmware is pretty sweet. Motoblur was horrible back in the day when i was with them, Touchwiz just ghastly and not user friendly (though faster than moto-blur). The stock firmware on the xperia Z trumps any revision of CM that I ever had on my galaxy s2 (due to samsung not releasing sources and it running terribly). For the first time in a long time I am ROM hunting simple for fun and because I can, not because my phone is running terribly.

They will still work on it in May so it will be parallel to Key Lime Pie and therefore delay a new version. In addition they could support older devices now. Please consider that ours will be old in 6 months as well. And we will still want updates that don't arrive months after the newest model will get an update.

I don't think this device well get the higher android version update for atleast the next two months... Reason is that the NovaThor devices JB update is pending after which the MSM8660 devices (H1 2012) will be updated....

From my experience Sony does not release major updates for different platforms in same month as the rollouts are in phased manner and take time to release to most devices... Since two platforms are still in Que don't expect any update for atleast the coming two months...
[Xperia Z General] jonmorris:
Because of all the companies I've ever written about/reported on with regards to problems, Apple has always been the one that gives the silent treatment because acknowledging a problem = people able to say there's a problem. Deny it and you can then claim it's just a handful of users, nothing serious or even that the problem might be down to something the user did.

Now it seems others are copying this policy. Sure it might make sense from a business/PR point of view, but it's bloody frustrating. I am thinking of when Sony denied any problem with the camera Quick Launch on the Xperia S, with a range of errors. [Incidentally, while it has happened just once I have had the error that the camera could not be started on the Xperia Z once already too].

My comment doesn't make me an Apple hater - given nearly every computer in my home is Apple.
