Odp: 4.2.2 is coming soon....

Someone knows, what new features will give a new firmware?

Lockscreen widgets will be the key feature added.
[Xperia Z General] cyleo:
I doubt sony will add this though.

Re: 4.2.2 is coming soon....

Better battery life(20 to 25%)

Maybe screen calibration

And maybe some bug fixes like(wifi disconnecting bug,etc)

Re: 4.2.2 is coming soon....

I don't have no wifi disconnection issues.. Perhaps check your settings to make sure it doesn't disconnect during sleep.

Re: 4.2.2 is coming soon....

I have Wi-Fi disconnect issue from time to time, while using the connection, not while sleeping. Happens few times a day.

Re: 4.2.2 is coming soon....

How come my WiFi options are different.
[Xperia Z General] hebbe:
strange...i have no wifi-issues at all.
[Xperia Z General] SirRobin78:
Same options on my german unbranded Xperia Z - no option to specify the frequency...
[Xperia Z General] schaggo:
You all amaze me.

1. this guy runs CM/AOSP

2. ...doesn't use a Z (screen aspect ratio off)

3. ...doesn't use a Z (wifi mac)

4. ...really doesn't use a Z.
[Xperia Z General] reptile64:
One month + since launch.. ..they said "4.2 shortly after launch" right?
[Xperia Z General] BobKatz:
True, but Sony's update to 4.2 could contain any number of additional Sony based tweaks. It isn’t going to be vanilla is it?

---------- Post added at 10:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:38 AM ----------

1 month since lunch you must be starving!!!
[Xperia Z General] DarkKrypt:
There was an update this morning I closed it came back home, plugged in phone and now it says no update :confused:

I already got 434 etc..
[Xperia Z General] Higgins12:
But what they didn't say is after the Release in which Area :D it's still coming up in some regions and not globally available. So don't hold your Breath for a imminent Release. Initially i thought would be April/May but meanwhile i don't think it will be before end of July
[Xperia Z General] exekias:
Um check ur power setings u can have wifi turned off when the screen is off, or when location settings are not correct. I have no wifi issues
[Xperia Z General] AntonyStark:
So you would rather have nothing for say 5 months, just so that 5 months isn't 5 and a half? And although Rumours are KLP will be easier for OEMs to make Firmware that previous versions of Android, 5 Month is still probably way out it could be closer to a year with no update lol
[Xperia Z General] root82:
Absolutely. First thing is that half a month delay is not realistic. KLP source will come in May, for an OEM maybe earlier. A stable 4.2.2 might take until July if we consider 1 or 2 bugfix releases. So that would be 1,5 to 2 months of delay.

And what should I miss from 4.2 now? 4.1 is stable and is 99% the same user experience. I got EOS 4.2 on the tablet. Great ROM but only a minimal difference to 4.1. KLP however should be a big step. I would love to see it in 2013.
[Xperia Z General] mbleyot:
aaaa.. i can't wait for this, but when this FW will release, -___-
[Xperia Z General] zelduy:
I hope they will release 4.2.2 before S4 is out..

Nightmare
[Xperia Z General] AntonyStark:
As some else said above we don't know what they may add to 4.2 on top of what is in the Vanila version. Plus anything else they didn't manage to fix before launch. I have 4.2 on my Galaxy Nexus that is still use around the house, when it got that the difference wasn't just minimal.
[Xperia Z General] root82:
So we are talking about something we may get added to a ROM we probably get? And that is the killer feature that causes me to blame Sony for undefined delay? It actually still lets me sleep well without :)

But ok, everyone can think different. Maybe people miss something I just don`t see.
[Xperia Z General] biffsmash:
No I don't. WiFi issues are on android 4.2.2 and they are very real confirmed by Google. . Z has no such issues as its on android 4.1.2.

Just wait till you get android 4.2 and you'll see ;)
[Xperia Z General] cosinav:
if the update is not out by the time the S4 is available to me, then I'm gonna jump ship and get the S4
[Xperia Z General] dmc_universe:
Could that comes a day we are lazy to update Android just like iOS?

I'm still using iOS 5 on my iPad, I can't find a reason to update 6. But Android.... too many bugs and craps no matter update to what seems never get an end.

[Xperia Z General] cosinav:
Seriously no, that was supposed to be a threat to Sony:) lol. I'm not so much after what's in 4.2 but honestly I would want some of the current major bugs and flaws fixed ASAP in the next major update! Love the phone, just wished Sony took more care with its software.
[Xperia Z General] wawyed:
That's quite a childish attitude you've got there. You just want 4.2.2 just because it's newer but if you weren't aware of the update, you wouldn't be complaining.

What bugs? I don't have any bugs. After an update to .434 and a factory reset (almost mandatory on this device), everything is splendid.
[Xperia Z General] cosinav:
No, we'll want the 4.2 or maybe a 4.3 or whatever not because it's newer but mainly because there are creases on this wonderful phone that needs ironing out. If you have used this phone you'll know what I mean.
[Xperia Z General] robogo1982:
It is really annoying having to reset to make stuff work. If that's how the phone is designed... then it's a really weird design.

[Xperia Z General] G0belet:
I for one would like to see 4.2.x for one thing: I miss double tapping an application on the activity picker when several apps can be chosen to achieve the same task. It's completely minor of course, but it's one of the things I miss.
[Xperia Z General] Aresmar:
Right after sending your first picture to your TV with Throw you will notice you have a huge battery drain. Than you will go and disable "Devices" app and hope for an update to app. Or you will hope for your notification led to continue working when using stamina mode. Or you will wish your stamina mode "guesstimate" time wont be stuck again after you delete its data.

There are bugs. More than I listed you here. Not many maybe but there are.

So stop saying there are no bugs.

I love XZ but I want it to be better.

Cheers.
[Xperia Z General] root82:
Then you probably want a new 4.1.2 build or a 4.1.3. A new version often has more bugs, especially if AOSP has issues, what you can see with many Custom ROMs.

If you read the current firmware is 350 for Three phones. So the update is perhaps only the 434 one available for unlocked phones

Basically people are so used to the late update culture the things that are actually bugs they just disregard. To the silly point when they say, we don't want the update, cos it will make the update after the update take even longer, let's just skip this update lol

hello thats an awesome rom sure it's not as boring as the custom rom! u almost can edit everything just try it out.

i just have 2 bugs:if u turn it on it needs 2 seconds to show the lockscreen and the camera needs also 2 seconds but thats the same on the boring stock rom and soon that problem will be solved!

the good things are u can edit your navbar ur notification bar the clock....like i said before almost everything. all u have to do is read the installation guide very proper!

any update on when 4.2. will be released?
[Xperia Z General] Montague:
I remember when Sony announced z in the first place they emphasized that update of 4.2 will be provided soon after launch, really hope that they meant it.....
[Xperia Z General] MadManMark:
Soon can be a long while, depends on the person, I've seen film trailers that say coming soon, then you wait 6months :p
[Xperia Z General] Aman27deep:
I don't have hopes that the update will come out this month. More like late May.

[Xperia Z General] sahinz:
so whats your thought about 4.2.2 release date?
[Xperia Z General] gm007:
I think first days of June.
[Xperia Z General] amfirbek92:
Although..respect;)

..Camera and screen calibration

..Wifi fix especially with bluetooth

..Fix long time the phone take to wake up when plugged in after a 0% batt shutdown

..Fix low microphone sound with apps

..And some overheat control calibration

Opt.. Tuning batt life and speaker performance

With these fixes xperia z will be at least for me..the best of sony and the best of the year..4.1 and 4.2 dont differ a lot
[Xperia Z General] Dsteppa:
Add:

LED in Stamina Mode
[Xperia Z General] amfirbek92:

[Xperia Z General] XR2777:
Hey All.

For the WiFi bug etc.

Please check your router settings.

As for me I didnt get any connections to my dlink router at first use at all.

After I changed the channel setting in the router from Autochannel to manual channel "6" (you may change to another channel, it depends how many WiFi networks are nearby, neighbours, etc), I got a good connection.

This may also help if you have dropping connections. Just set it to another channel.

The second thing is, just look if you have some wireless products with 2.4 Ghz radio.

I had one TV Rx/Tx for wireless Video from China with 2.4Ghz.

It has so bad interference, that the router messed up.

Maybe this can help you.

I have the XZ for an week now and it is a pleasure to work with this Phone.

As I was a Sgs2 user before I just miss some small things, but hope they will be added with 4.2.x.

Sry for my bad English.;)
[Xperia Z General] PERSIAN-AFG:

[Xperia Z General] pjgowtham:

[Xperia Z General] Erdiou:
The Z as a Nexus-Device - a dream device. :D
[Xperia Z General] Tom Fagerland:
Why even bother about complaining about the lack of updates? Do you really think they have a guy checking forums to see if we're impatient or not? It's like those idiots who think that "likes" will cure cancer.

Sony has a group of developer working on all of the Android phones. That same group of developers have a list of things to do for ALL the phones, and whatever number the XZ 4.2.2 or even 4.1.2.1 update is on - it's going to stay on! There's nothing we can do to change it.
[Xperia Z General] lukaszde:

[Xperia Z General] OsiBasi:
If the update isn't that spectacular, why are you all acting like little girlsat a Justin bieber concert about this...

I personally think they should focus on improving the software bugs like camera, stamina etc. Not a "nicer font"
[Xperia Z General] babylonbwoy:
It was too hardcore !

Off topic : off.
[Xperia Z General] AntonyStark:
It is an 'Unspectacular' update that usually does what you said so what exactly is your point here?!
[Xperia Z General] gm007:
Google release a new nexus phone on each big update,that's why 4.2.2 is on nexus4;)
[Xperia Z General] OsiBasi:
People want 4.2 for the number not for the software basically is what I'm saying, camera & battery needs to be fixed not fonts, widget lockers etc. Even though I expect the updates will include fixes.

I see alto of people ranting "duuh if I don't get 4,2 soon I'm swapping for S4 etc"

I'd understand abandoning ship for faulty software but not for a previous version. (The new version will come, it needs to be tested and polished, it will take time.)
[Xperia Z General] Tom Fagerland:
That's my impression as well. They don't realize that 4.2 (and especially 4.2.1 and 4.2.2) were _very_ incremental updates with basically all fixes and tiny feature updates.

The font you can install on your own, and the Google Now updates came in the Google app, not the Android update!

Plus it's got bugs of it's own, so there's actually a downside to updating!

But there are also bugs in the Xperia 4.1.2, so if they fix those bugs in 4.2.2, then that makes up for it.

To summarize: I couldn't care less about 4.2.2, but I do care about fixing the bugs in 4.1.2, so if they could do a 4.1.2 fix release, that would be far better.

Now 5.0 I am excited about, and I don't have any idea what it will bring ;)

TLDR: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbVKWCpNFhY
[Xperia Z General] kalo88:
4.2 has the following

"Photo Sphere" panorama photos[97] - This would never come to sony as AOSP only I believe

Keyboard with gesture typing - We already have this

Lock screen improvements, including widget support and the ability to swipe directly to camera[98] - Again, AOSP, maybe sony could use this?

Notification power controls ("Quick Settings") - We already have this (although the ability to change them would be nice

"Daydream" screensavers, showing information when idle or docked - Useless

Multiple user accounts (tablets only) - N/A

Support for wireless display (Miracast) - Don't we already have this?

Accessibility improvements: triple-tap to magnify the entire screen, pan and zoom with two fingers. Speech output and Gesture Mode navigation for blind users

New clock app with built-in world clock, stop watch and timer - Nothing major

All devices now use the same interface layout, previously adapted from phones on 4.1 for smaller tablets (with centered software buttons, the system bar at the top of the screen, and a home screen with a dock and centered application menu), regardless of screen size

Increased number of extended notifications and Actionable Notifications for more apps, allowing users to respond to certain notifications within the notification bar and without launching the app directly - Perhaps useful

4.2.1 and 4.2.2 add bug fixes and the only major thing I can see is 'New download notifications, which now shows the percentage and estimated time remaining for active app downloads'

Yes of course it's nice to be able to say 'I'm on the latest version of android' but i'd rather sacrifice the above to fix any issues people have.
