The phone has only been released for 2 months. The current software on it is hardly broken anyway. Be patient.

My previous phone was an LG Optimus 2X, that was promised Android 2.3 "soon after release". It shipped with Froyo and the stock rom was horribly slow and plagued by bsod where the phone would randomly not wake up. The update took a year to be released and was still broken and full of unfixed bugs.

In short 2-3 months is not a long time, especially when 4.2 isn't much of an upgrade IMHO and the phone is still really really good anyway :)
[Xperia Z General] mitsosoft:
It will get the same SW within the same time period!

[MENTION=2465721]G0belet[/MENTION] Not as far as I'm aware, rooting with an unlocked bootloader involved flashing a modified kernel, so if you were to restore your Ta after rooting, your device would fail to boot. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong :)
[Xperia Z General] fredaroony:
This patch sounds great and just took any reason I had for rooting away!
[Xperia Z General] Hellscythe:
anyone can open up a thread claiming things like this lol...
[Xperia Z General] Utacka:
The diff is that OP is not anyone.

[Xperia Z General] long2905:
anyone can get several other prominent members like doomlord to chime in and confirm...oh wait...
[Xperia Z General] nizarnoor:
sounds like a really good update. when is it going to come out??? i can't wait
[Xperia Z General] decadan1977:
I was sceptical also at the start. But if his word is good enough for Doomlord it's good enough for me.
[Xperia Z General] HSOC:
I 'll be really happy if the update improves the battery.

Another feature that I miss is speedial.
[Xperia Z General] krabappel2548:
I can also confirm his credibility ;)
[Xperia Z General] Hellscythe:
:eek: if these things are true, then thats great!

didnt mean to offend anyone before lol

AND DAMN, Root exploit doesn't work anymore. that means i actually HAVE to unlock my bootloader...
[Xperia Z General] decadan1977:
No you don't. Just be patient 1 of the Devs will find a way.
[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
Or update via OTA. Root shouldn't be lost that way, I believe.
[Xperia Z General] decadan1977:
Or do what King just said lol
[Xperia Z General] decentgi:
I'm not one of those girlie men who whinge's about the 4.2 update and I'm more then happy with my device I love it. But didn't Sony promise an update shortly after release? something tells me if they are releasing a patch that significant makes me wonder how far 4.2 really is! Are we really going to see it in May or is it June? Anyway I love my z and i'm really grateful that it's actually one of the better handsets out at the moment.
[Xperia Z General] pandaball:
Just curious, does this update fix the problem where scrolling text (most evident in settings) will make the text appear violet rather than white? This only seems to happen on JDC screens.
[Xperia Z General] gm007:
This can be fixed with the white balance settings that will be included.
[Xperia Z General] pandaball:
Not sure if that will fix the problem. When the text is stationary, it will be nice and white, just scroll the text and the hue changes. Slightly annoying, but other than the occasional WiFi dropout, the XZ's great (just got it today)
[Xperia Z General] bucho2004:
Iam lot.more excited about this patch than the 4.2 update.

4.2 update brings nothing new in general, this patch has everything that I hoped would be addressed in upcoming 4.2 update so now Iam less eager for it. most of my gripes with the phone will be fixed in the patch.

Ps I really think the upcoming keylime pie update is going to be pastel coloured white clean looking ui, similar to the updated Google play store look, what do u guys think,
[Xperia Z General] gm007:
I know what you talking about cause i had similar issue with my first phone and changing the white balance fix it.

Go to service menu and in service test click on verify certificates than scroll in this page you will see the effect obviously.
[Xperia Z General] Bromsoket:
Really hope this can/will be corrected, its very annoying and makes the screen look very cheap...
[Xperia Z General] G0belet:
Well I guess the modified kernel is not a requisite, since you can root without changing it! The exploit just gives R/W access to the /system partition and replaces su on it, and adds Superuser.apk. The exploit is not running after that, so nothing changes on the kernel.

I heard you can also fastboot with an Xperia Z. So technically you could unlock, "fastboot boot" TWRP or CWM (or even flash, then flash the original recovery back), flash the superuser zip, and restore the TA. I'm just thinking out loud, I haven't tested anything, I didn't unlock yet. And that, of course, as it was pointed out to me, is if you are allowed to unlock your bootloader in the first place.
[Xperia Z General] dantistruct:
I really like that this update is bringing so many fixes and stability improvements, in all honesty I rather stability improvements. I'm anxious for this update, I'd really be surprised if sony throws in RAW format for the camera settings that would just be awesome.
[Xperia Z General] danw_oz:
I wouldn't hold your breath too much, look at the version of the OP's phone in his signature, to me this would suggest it is not for the masses, but the Japanese models.

To me it is a fake, even the number in his signature does not follow the correct format
[Xperia Z General] bucho2004:
WHAT!?!??
[Xperia Z General] danw_oz:
Ever heard of photoshop?

---------- Post added at 06:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:49 AM ----------

What is the version number of your phone?

Mine is 10.1.A.1.434

Op is 10.1.1.A.1.253

First and extra 1 in there does not make sense, secondly build numbers do not go backwards. The Japanese models have version numbers behind the rest of the 6603 models

Edit wrong with that as well because the Japanses models are at .333 and has a D not an A

10.1.D.0.333

And yes still doesn't have an extra 1.

OP is a fake, he hasn't even defended being accused of this. Exactly as stated a wish list.

Don't get me wrong I believe Sony will release another patch or even two for the 4.1.2 firmwares, but don't believe this.
[Xperia Z General] decadan1977:
Doomlord and Krab have both vouched for his credibility. Certainly wouldn't need to defend himself after that backing. Sorry.
[Xperia Z General] mitsosoft:
The version in OP is correct and this is going to be the next release for XZ (10.1.1.A.1.253) ;)
[Xperia Z General] vdjer:
It's an LCD response time problem. Typical. Visible with black/white contrast screens.

When you move, the black pixels don't have time to change to white (in the text) and it appears grey/velvet. When you stop it's white.

Sorry for my english...

[Xperia Z General] Nfahajan:
U will love the phone alot :D...Its really awesome :)..Just a better battery life would make the device a beast :D..I was about to ask u if u uesed any which ROM you use :)..
[Xperia Z General] G1_enthusiast:
currently using CM10.1 on my S3 and I really like it, I am debating to do the same on XZ but I do not want to lose Bravia Engine 2. In order to install CM10.1 or Kernel you need to unlock bootloader and that will get rid of Bravia Engine 2
[Xperia Z General] danw_oz:
Yes, will wait and see. Because we have already heard rumors of 11...450 being the next release and seen screen shots

Am allowed to be sceptical ;) And look forward to any patches to fix the current issues :)

You don't have to be sorry :p
[Xperia Z General] --anx--:
Damn! I got crazy about that news and keeping reading this thread just hoping to find an official OTA date! :D

It really seems to be a good patch! Many "little things" solved finally (first of all, the black bars...without root...and WiFi range)!
[Xperia Z General] Nameless One:
You'll find an official OTA date for other people when they start receiving it and post about it. The way things have been for some,

you could be waiting anywhere from hours to weeks from that point to get it yourself. That or you get it before anyone else bothers to post

that they're getting it, so any post announcing its release on this site becomes irrelevant for you.
[Xperia Z General] danw_oz:
Yeah this one not so much to me, but the one that Says OTA Update is a pain in the ass, because I keep getting excited by that one, and then dun dun only slow countries to release .434
[Xperia Z General] pjgowtham:
After reading the full thread, to get warranty after unlocking bootloader, we have to backup TA partition, backup drm keys and then unlock the bootloader so that can use custom kernel ,Rom s ,everything and when my phone gets into problem, i need to restore TA partition so that the bl gets relocked , flash stock rom and finally I can be off to service centre.
[Xperia Z General] Nameless One:
That's assuming that the problem hasn't bricked the phone or otherwise damaged it to the point where you cannot restore before sending it away. I have a relocked bootloader although I didn't back up the TA partition or DRM keys since that thread wasn't around when I unlocked my bootloader.
[Xperia Z General] decadan1977:
Just for you for being shot down by 2 highly respected devs. Lol:D
[Xperia Z General] --anx--:
I know how it works man...I don't know...maybe I'm wrong (my English is not the best)...but your quote sounds like a "shut up" post...:confused:

I just wanted to appreciate the news on that update and show my happiness for it...nothing more...I don't want to ask nothing, I don't want to ask ota here...

If I'd misunderstood your quote, well, sorry...forget what I've wrote...like I said, my English isn't perfect...:(
[Xperia Z General] juliospinoza:
Amazing update. I can't wait for it.
[Xperia Z General] Nameless One:
My apologies, it was meant as a "relax" post. With a dig at "fate" or "luck" in terms of how things tend to go with the

"revved up in anticipation" usually followed by an agonising wait as others get it first. The wait in anticipation/frustration for something I know is coming is one of the worst feelings for me and I tend to cope rather badly (the wait for my XZ was probably the worst for a long time). There are very few posts where I feel that someone should shut up, and usually it isn't worth the effort to post saying so or the bad blood it generates.
[Xperia Z General] decadan1977:
I know not the patch in question.. But got the Xperia Privileges app this morning on update centre. Got an offer to add £20 to my Sony account. Can't be bad to that.
[Xperia Z General] Aresmar:
Maybe you are right BUT when you install white balance setting and use it to change the white balance and apply it the problem disappears!!!

I dont know how the response time is fixed by just changing white balance. But it fixes the problem totally.

Funny thing is when you reboot the phone you need to apply the white balance again to fix it again.

So it is simple issue that can be fixed. Not a serious JDC panel problem like we think.
[Xperia Z General] danw_oz:
I see you have completely changed your opinion since the initial posts

Dude, I don't give a crap, really. If I am wrong I am wrong, I am skeptical and nothing wrong with that due to all the rumors floating around.

All I can say, is I will only believe it when I see it. I hope this is true as do all of us.
[Xperia Z General] decadan1977:
Yes I have. But I'm not arrogant enough to question someone's post when they have been given a reference from Doomlord and Krab.
[Xperia Z General] Geminiu:
Just flashed the patch... can confirm few things...

- Soft keys + notification bar are black

- White balance option

- WiFi reception... cant see any diference

- Camera opens same as before, not big diference

- Root exploit doesnt work :(

I ll stay day or two on this patch and can test few things for you, but wont stay long on this(no root = pain :) )...
[Xperia Z General] decadan1977:
What about file size on camera taken images. Any changes?
[Xperia Z General] lovemyarc:
how? from where? :eek:
[Xperia Z General] DreadPirateDan:
All they need is your imei code to know whether you've unlocked your bootloader or not though:confused:. So basically all the effort of doing that would be undermined in about 5 seconds when they type your details into their database and it pops up that you have retrieved your unlock code.

As long as it is a clear cut hardware error that obviously wasn't caused by software I think they would honor it regardless of bootloader status. At least in Australia where consumer laws are very favorable to the consumer that's how it would/should go down (and would if you started taking it further).

Regarding the update though, has it done any changes to update the bootloader/bios? I'm desperately trying to fix what I believe is a software issue.. hoping I wont have to send it off for repair and this eventual update may be the answer :fingers-crossed:
[Xperia Z General] danw_oz:
That does not confirm that your boot loader has been unlocked, all it confirms that you requested it. I did not long after I got my phone but have never unlocked it.

Sorry to say mate, don't believe your issue is software based, if it was when you flashed back ROM's it would have been fixed. That part of the phone is definitely at the kernel level drivers.
[Xperia Z General] doministry:
For now it's not out but it's apparently official Sony.
[Xperia Z General] Geminiu:
.. took few pics, file sizes are ~2Mb...

I noticed that in Album is new(not 100% sure if really new) option "Faces"... phone detect all faces from pictures(even from background pics) then you can add names to them :)
[Xperia Z General] --anx--:
No problem! As I said, I just want to know, in the near future I hope, when the rollout will begin...but patiently, because I'm rooted now and almost all (at least the visible ones) the goodies are here installed... ;)

[Xperia Z General] danw_oz:
2GB is not a file system constraint, so must be a limit within the camera app
[Xperia Z General] tommybrrr:
It's fat32 limit (or 4GB not sure)that exfat would cure.
[Xperia Z General] Nameless One:
The file size limit of 4GB is for fat32, there is nothing about either FS that would limit the size of a file to 2GB.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] Mitko:
UPDATE: I solved the problem by simply pushing the android.policy he provided in his thread, I still haven't figured out what was causing it. Well now the problem is solved.

Hi, after following d3cka's AOSP lockscreen guide, I managed to add everything succesfully without any compiling errors.

After pushing all of the needed files and rebooting the phone, I started up with the sliding lockscreen and I was like yay, it worked! But after going to Lidroid Parts and changing the lockscreen style, it didn't change.

So I'm stuck with just one lockscreen, doesn't matter if I set to Samsung, Rotary, etc, it just always stays the same lockscreen.

Tried signing both lidroid-res.apk, lidroidparts.apk as someone suggested in another thread, doesn't work.

Tried installing lidroidparts manually as an app, got it to appear in drawer, etc, but still it won't change the lockscreens.

Tried giving LidroidParts.apk rw-r--r-- permissions, doesn't help.

Tried leaving /system mounted as rw but that doesn't help aswell.

Has anyone had such issue? If so, please share how you solved it.

Hi experts :cowboy:,

Would like to ask you about what is the last stable android version for upgrade the LG optimus 2x p999 ?. I already have the CyanogenMod-7-2013 Gingerbread but was wondering if it can be upgrade for Jelly been maybe ?. If yes what's the best way to do that !?.

Thanks in advance !. Cheers ! :o
[LG Optimus 2x] Custom40:
No such thing as "the most stable".

There are a lot of ROMs out there and a lot of them are stable. You have to go try for yourself and determine what suits your needs the best.

For instance: I love ParanoidAndroid, some probably hate it, some are neutral, and some just like to bounce from ROM to ROM multiple times a day. We all have different taste and needs.

Go experiment, take it as an adventure, could be fun :P

If I understand you correctly - your BT headset is working correctly in phone calls, but will not play MP3 files nor the audio instructions from TomTom.

If I am correct, then your headset is working perfectly. At this time, only telephone audio is supported by the BT headset . . . no other audio will be available through the BT headset.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] robberrobbie:
I have recently rooted, installed CWM & CM10.1 -- The problem I have is now my internal SD is close to being full, but I havent installed anything on it yet besides a couple apps and some pictures.. Total Internal memory was 16GB.

When I go to Setting > Storage - its shows I have 12.5 GB of total space, but only about 1 GB available.. It shows apps and other things on the phone such as - APS 293MB, Pictures 550MB etc.. But added up it only amounts to maybe 3GB.. So I seem to be missing 13GB of space..

What I think may have happened (and I dont know how to fix) is.... Is it possible that I did the back up of my stock rom & titanium back ups etc.. all onto my internal SD card ? I didnt back anything up to an external drive or my PC, becasue the instructions I followed did tell to do that, nor how to do that.

So if that is the case I would like to extract those file from the SD card on my phone to creat some more room ?

Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Bubba Fett:
Even if you did backup everything to the internal sd, a cwm backup is usually about a gig and I have 100 and change titanium backups and it also takes up about w gig so I don't think that is the problem. You should be able to hook it up to your PC and check the folder sizes on your SD card. You can also move the clockwork mod folder and TB folders to your external sd but you will need to set up the new location in TB's preference s option. If all else fails backup everything and copy all pics vids downloads and everything else you want to your PC or external SD, and wipe everything from your phones settings menu. This will wipe all data and game data too so be careful to get everything off it you want. Oh yea, make sure you have sync'd or backup up your contacts. That's a pain in the ass.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] thatsupnow:
I had a problem like that when I first got my s3 last year and for me it was 2 files in the lost folder that were like 5 gigs each

hmmm......
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] robberrobbie:
Would it have anything to do with when after I rooted and was installing CWM and the new ROM.. It said for me to back up and save my old original ROM/configuration.. Which I did select back up.. But I didnt save it to my PC, I believe it just saved to my phone somewhere.. If I may need that someday I should likely save it correct ? Can someone give me an idea how to access those files so I can transfer off my phone ?

Maybe that is the problem ?
