Seems like tap to wakeup feature of KitKat is not enabled for Xperia Z Ultra.
[Xperia Z General] reptile64:
It is possible not to include it to the XZ too because my Tablet Z has this feature and in terms of hardware it's exactly the same but maybe they have different touch digitizers!

EDIT: My second thoughts is that Ultra is using another digitizer, an infrared one not the Synaptics that XZ is using that has this "double tap to wake" as a special feature... ;)
[Xperia Z General] Wind Field:
How about xZ SO-02E docomo.

i'm still waiting for 4.3 :angel:
[Xperia Z General] davros93:
I think Xperia z with 4.4.2 will.get double tap top wake because Sony original aosp has it
[Xperia Z General] Tommy-Geenexus:
+1

The dt2w from aosp is already coded by sony, so it's very likely to see it in 4.4

So it is capable of doing it, soooo if they don't implement it we will!! Beheehhehehehe!

Is there any reason we can't have double tap to wake up on 4.3?

Yeah,the stock kernel doesnt support it

Eagerly waiting

As far as 4.4.2 update is concerned i am happy to wait until March ending or first week of April.

Take your time Sony and develop a less bug free update and try to port few new stuff from Z2

,:good:
[Xperia Z General] zeroed:
The thing is kinda i cant see the point to delay XZ kitkat till Z2 is released,i mean phone is hardware plus software,what is the idea behind Z2 will have 4.4 exclusive?If i want to buy phone for the software Nexus 5 will be the ultimate choice,or any phone with 4.4 already.Just my 2 cents.But yeah,Sony keep releasing updates to prevent me from switching to custom rom.Pabx's build has dt2w already,and its pure AOSP so yes,XZ fully supports it.You can use condoms to blow ballons,but you dont if you get my point.Why implement new feature in old phone,when you can charge for it in a new one?
[Xperia Z General] JasonStathom:
Absolutely Correct.. +1
[Xperia Z General] Hellscythe:
correct me if i am wrong, but there were already many 4.3 devices with qualcomm chipsets? or is it something different related?
[Xperia Z General] luciferzet:
in march or april?
[Xperia Z General] worf_1977:
At this point, and because the usual delays from Sony (i don't expect nothing but the usual), the update is going to happen next year LOL
[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
A delay would suggest they gave a release date. Unless I missed something, there has been no official announcement of anything apart from the fact that the Z will get KitKat. No dates or anything.
[Xperia Z General] Z3PHYR:
There is a rumour that the z2 launch will be delayed because of a issue if so that could meam two things. we get the update earlier than expected or we get it very late...

[Xperia Z General] Hellscythe:
And kids, if you ever think of starting up a company building smartphones, this is why you don't release like, 3 flagships a year.
[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
I'm not sure of your point.

We've had, what? 6 or 7 updates in a year, including 2 upgrades to new versions of Android. What else should Sony be doing?

Arguably, they do churn at phones at quite a rate, but you cannot say they aren't supporting the Z.
[Xperia Z General] greglord:
Seriously? XZ is 1 year old phone, it cost approx 600eur when it was released and we get 1 year of updates. Does that sound okay to you? Are you willing to spend that much of money and expect to only have 1 year of updates? This is android OS, and SONY is doing it wrong, the same as Motorola did with their Milestone at that time. IT was first to have android 2.2 and they promissed 2.3 soon. It was soon, 1.5years later.

And lets not forget the waranty and service problems with the phone too... So, no... 6 updates going from 4.1 to 4.1 again to 4.1 and to 4.1 later on.. that sure is a proper update. And with every update STAMINA MODE (for example) sometimes worked, sometimes didn't. Helluwa update :P
[Xperia Z General] tacoeater1999:
This was a 700 dollar AUD flagship phone. Yes we did receive many small updates fixing bugs. How many major updates did we have?

You can look at other 2013 flagship phones such as the HTC One, Galaxy S4 and heck, even the LG G2. They have all received their Kitkat.

But because Sony have released multiple flagships in a year, their focus changes to their newer devices. Yes, they are supporting their Z, but arguably at the lowest priority of all the flagships.

TL;dr If sony released one flagship a year, then that one flagship would be their only high priority. which is not the case right now.
[Xperia Z General] Hellscythe:
Yeah. This.

Also adding to the fact the Z got 4.2.2 really late and the first release was terrible and bug ridden.
[Xperia Z General] reptile64:
It's obvious that Sony wants us to spend 700 every year if we want the latest and greatest updates and features, most people don't care or is ignorant about the software running on their phone as long as it does its job.
[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
LOL @ the whining about my post that correctly states that Sony are consistently supporting this device. If you want fast updates, don't go with an OEM phone. Go Nexus. You would think people would know that by now.

Also, please stop with the hyperbole about the 6 updates all being bug fix releases. Are you running 4.1 or 4.3? Yeah. Anyone would think that you guys would prefer that bugs were left in until a major upgrade was released.

As for being happy with a years support, please point me to where Sony announced that support is being dropped after 4.4.

All in all, a bunch of pathetic responses from you guys really, especially when you factor in that this is supposed to be a development site, not noob land.

Must every thread about updates degenerate into pointless complaining that Sony are taking too long to push them?
[Xperia Z General] Incanity:
Couldn't agree more. Coming from HTC, I think Sony has way better support, Seeing that they have released 3 new flagship devices since the Z, I think we can all be grateful that they still decide to upgrade our phone AT ALL.

My previous phone, the HTC Sensation was put to it's grave after only 1 major update (2.3 - 4.0)
[Xperia Z General] Hellscythe:
Of course that is what you would say

"omg if u want da fast updatezz pls jus buy nexus devices LOL ROFL LMAO XD"

You are implying as if non nexus devices are completely excused for having late updates.

And yes. Most of the updates we have received were incremental releases that are bug fixes. tell me the difference between 434 and 350. and the difference between 434 and 253. and the difference between 569 and 101.

And yes, every thread MUST mention this at it is completely unacceptable to leave a one year old flagship in its current state.
[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
Again, LOL. If Sony didn't push bug fix releases, people like you would be screaming in rage all over here about it.

I'm not excusing anything, nor do I need to. If fast updates are a huge priority for you, then you would think that you would have researched which OEM has a track record of releasing them promptly, then purchased a device from them, or a Nexus. Instead, you just come here to pointlessly whine to people that cannot do anything about it. If you're desperate for KitKat, flash one of the 4.4 roms that are available.

As for this device being in an unacceptable state. Really? Waiting for a promised update to the latest version of Android, after 2 major upgrades (that added features ported from newer devices) already in the device's lifetime is unacceptable? Talk about unrealistic expectations.

My previous device, the LG P990, received 2 updates in 2 years. Both of them were many months after LG confirmed release dates for them and made the phone unusable in some cases, because of the phone randomly going to sleep and needing a battery pull to wake it. That sort of situation needs complaining about. Regular incremental releases to squash bugs and upgrades to newer version of Android do not.

Please, if you must act out your own pointless frustration, take it somewhere else, like the Sony support forum.
[Xperia Z General] dbgt87:
Sony is doing it right...i mean that all the updates inprove performances of our device reducing bug...

i think that the quality of sony updates is the best in android world, because i think that Sony working for give the most stable version not the latest...in other words why upgrade a phone when the optimization of latest version isn't close?we have a stable 4.3... we will expect a stable 4.4...

Sony build phone for customer not developers...

But this is only my opinion

cia all
[Xperia Z General] Arctoze:
Can't wait for Android Kitkat!

YEAH!
[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
Sony cater for both developers and consumers in different ways.

They provide what are some of the most stable and bloat free stock roms that I've personally used. This is actually the first Android phone I've owned that I haven't flashed a custom rom on. I'm happy to wait a while for relatively bug free releases.

On the other hand, they also provide the tools (via officially unlockable bootloaders, AOSP source, binaries etc) for developers to provide cutting edge AOSP releases, for those that want the latest and greatest straight away.

No Android manufacturer is perfect, but Sony have made massive strides in the last few years and I have few complaints with them.
[Xperia Z General] Richy99:
topics like this always make me laugh, people that complain they aren't getting updates for the phones, we want 4.4 etc what are the actual new features from 4.4 compared to 4.3 (this can also be put back to 4.1.2 to a 4.2.2 update) that are desperately needed and cannot live without? or is it a fact you think that you are behind everyone else? personally I cant see any real difference between the 4.1.2 rom that came with the handset to the 4.3 rom im running now, bug fixes aside

you seem to forget that on xda we are the minority, as most forums are 95% complaints/issues with software/hardware, the general user will not be bothered about the lack of incremental or even large updates as all they want is a device to work properly which it currently does so will not use a place like this
[Xperia Z General] Hellscythe:
I have to disagree with the statement you made about performance.

One example.

The camera, since the release of the firmware has always taken forever to open.

The camera module within the Xperia Z is the same as the one used in the Galaxy S4, yet the Xperia Z produces noticeably worse images. What does this come down to? Software optimization.

Before the 4.3 update, scrolling through the settings menu and scrolling in general was laggy as hell, adding to that, the phone got really hot even under the lightest circumstances. It has improved over the course of these many incremental updates, but I still stand in saying this is unacceptable for a $700+ 2013 flagship device.
[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
So, first you complain that Sony release too many incremental bug fixes, then you say that the same bug fixes make improvements.

You can't have it both ways!

Anyway, I had a peek at your post history and it seems that you're running a 4.4 custom rom (Omni), so why do you care anyway?
[Xperia Z General] Hellscythe:
Well yeah..isn't fixing bugs considered as making improvements?...lol

and nononono I wasn't complaining about too many incremental bug fixes. Bug fixes are good, because, they fix bugs.

What i meant in saying , is those many updates that were brought to us, didn't really add anything new, and were only given to us to fix what wasn't working. I think that was the misunderstanding there.

Of course Sony has told us that the updates improved battery life, performance, camera etc, but the only thing that many of us have noticed was the improvement in colour contrast.

Just because I am running a custom rom does not mean I shouldn't have concern for the OTA update scheduling from Sony.

I tried Omni rom to see how it was but just restored my backup to stockrom. Anyways I don't wanna repeat something you already know about how CM has bugs and stuff blah blah which is why i prefer stock rom.

Speaking from the point of view of people who use CM/AOSP, the release of an official 4.4 would mean more blobs and more drivers to use, to further aid the development of aftermarket roms, don't you think?
[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
Each time you post, it's becoming clearer that you don't really know what you're talking about. Of course bug fixes don't add new features. It's important to get them out the door quickly, so why would they delay by adding new features to an incremental release?

As for more blobs, why do we need more? Has new hardware been added to the phone? Or did you mean newer versions? The binaries provided by Qualcomm/Sony are already perfectly adequate, as evidenced by the amount on 4.4 roms running on them.

I've made my point clearly a few times now, so don't think I have to keep on repeating myself. Therefore, I will not be replying to any more of your poorly thought out arguments. If you want the last word, you can gladly have it.

Good day. :)
[Xperia Z General] dbgt87:
yeah you are right..i forget the tools for developers :D...

here at this moment i think that this crazy run for upgrade is made not for real needs but only for have withe battery, trasparent status bar and navbar...only few people need really for testing his programs or tools or mods...because a lot of member on this forum aren't skilled for unlock bl root and install xposed or other tool...i'm not judging anyone, everyone does what he feels

[Xperia Z General] demonicangell™:
ur previous device was IncS .. i know u from there

it is anyday better than the support we received from htc on incredible s ..that was a flagship for how long ? barely even 6 months .forget about how much we had to cry for 4.0 that too through the dev website . so maybe u should be happier with sony .atleast i am .

ebay Adapter eventually works

Hi there,

I was also looking for a good headset fromt he beginning on, the issue might be solved if I can install the A2DP software (will try later), but a nice wired headset would still be nice.

My favorite would be the ones SonyEricsson is shipping with the music phones.

I actually tested a 2.5mm adapter with cord and speakerpice (with clip) plus adapter for 3,5mm, which would be perfect. One was for Nokia, one for Motorola - both are NOT compatible with the HTCs!

Lately I saw a shop selling the same adapter specifically for HTC devices, so the problem might be solved.

Also I saw 2 wired 2,5mm stereo headsets from Jabra on the US website, they are for sale there but NOT in Europe. If these would work, they would for sure be of very good quality.

Anyone tested these?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Accessories] kull:

I found one listed on Ebay under HTC Wizard. Its item number 9716253639, seller's name is 5starcommunication. Looks quite cool and they will mail it world wide. Will take sometime before it reaches India. But if anyone in the US orders and tries do let us know. Thanks.

I have an adapter 2,5 to 3,5mm with GREAT sound quality, however without microphone in the adapter, thus I always need to unplug the adapter and take off the headphones to answer a call - sucks!

As mentioned so far i Only saw one adapter on ebay WITH a microphone in the adapter piece (and clip on the back) - but do not know how it performs...

2.5 mm to 3.5 mm adapters at Radio Shack

Beware of the Radio Shack adapters. They stick out and are easy to catch on a doorway as you walk through it. I did so a few weeks ago and the headphone jack no longer worked. The adapter male end bent back and damaged the phone female socket. The result was very quiet sound from the headphone jack, totally unusable for phone or music.

I sent the phone back to T-Mobile and they very kindly sent me a replacement. I bought a new Radio Shack 2.5mm male to 3.5 mm female adapter and the same day proceeded to catch it on another doorway, bending back the male plug, and damaging the phone female headphone jack. No sound again from the headphone jack. I will stay away from the headphone adapters from now on.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Accessories] two-zero:
Phone speaker not working after using headphones - No sound

I had a similar problem (not the same). After using a 2.5 to 3.5 mm adapter my phone speakers and the mic didn't work anymore. I was about to send the device in, when I read about a solution (I think it was in XDA-Dev somewhere).

You'll have to gently move the headphone jack forward and back, twisting it a litte or even better use some compressed air blowing into the jack. It works best, if you to take out the battery and blow from the back.

My speakers work again, but the same thing happens now and then. It seems there is some switch inside the headphone/mic jack, which doesn't go back. That only happens when I use the adapter.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Accessories] Avatar28:
I realize that this is an old thread, but here is an idea for you. As far as I know, pretty much any 2.5mm headset should work. I don't use it for my phone personally, but I recently purchased a Plantronics Gamecon X20 headset for my Xbox 360 after my old one broke. Since it has a plain 2.5mm jack on the end, I thought I would plug it into my phone to see how well it worked. The answer, pretty well apparently. My wife said that it was really clear and, likewise, she sounded really clear on my end. It's going to be a little larger than the ones that have the mic hanging down inline with the wire, but on the other hand, since it's a boom mic the sound quality should be superior with less noise. I haven't tried it for listening to music so I can't vouch for the quality there, but since you are wanting a monaural headset I rather doubt that is relevant anyways. The headset was only $20 at GameStop and they had a used one for $10.

In your case, I would say that sounds like a bad adapter. I routinely use one in mine and don't have that problem. It's one of those nasty stick adapters though, so you have to be careful with them. I've seen some cable type adapters for not too much so you might look into one of those instead.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Accessories] truthseekers:
Found info which might help

HERE IS AN/THE ANSWER.

My WIZA200 and Sony P900 phone the mic headsets are compatable, even the answer button works. If you cant find what your looking for under the flavour WIZa or HTC etc... just look for what you need as a P900 type and you will be sorted.

I just checked the pinouts and this answers the very much asked question... what are the pinouts.... here they are....

http://pinouts.ru/CellularPhones-P-W/sonyericssson_headset_pinout.shtml

FOR WIZA AND SONY P900 >>>> 2.5mm 4 pole jack: PIN1 LEFT+, PIN2 RIGHT+, PIN3 MIC+, SHIELD(PIN4) GROUND. I just checked with multimeter and to get call answer pin3 mic and shield must short to signal the press of the answer button.

---

Just for reference Nokia 2.5mm 4pole jack is very odd... this is how they do it.

http://pinouts.ru/CellularPhones-Nokia/nokia_headset_pinout.shtml

on 4pole 2.5mm: 1=speaker+(positive) ### 2=mic+ ### 3=speaker -(negative) ### pin4 = mic - ###short mic+ and mic - to answer call

on 3pole 2.5mm: 1=speaker+(positive) 2=mic+ 3=shield(ground-negative) ### to answer call short speaker and shield.

See how they change their minds... first on 4 pole jacks answer call was on mic side short, then it goes on 3 pole jacks to short the speaker and ground to answer call... can these guys not make up their minds. Grrrr... totally baffling logic in this design, escept they can keep you buying specialised gear for each phone :mad:

Glad to see Sony and HTC used a more logical system and seem to stick to it. I suspect the HTC Touch HD 3.5mm is wired the same as the Wiza 2.5mm system just 3.5mm jack not 2.5mm jack. :)

Someone should make a 2.5mm 4pole to 3.5mm 4 pole converter to use old cherised headsets on the HTC Touch HD... know of any, anyone? :confused:
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Accessories] truthseekers:
Another solution.....

I know this might sound odd but a simple solution is get your stereo headset & mic thing and cut the right earpiece lead off... :eek: :cool:

Now you may have to strip the wire a bit and wrap a piece of insulating tape to stop the wires inside touching, which will cause problems (crackling or loss of audio on remaining speaker most likely). Once the wires are safely insulated away, youll have what you are seeking, a monaural one earpiece mic heaset... saves having to buy one that your finding hard to do.

Seems a shame to sacrifice a stereo headset down to mono, but if thats your poison, go for it.

pinouts.ru is the shiz

Get out the soldering iron and make a frankenstien. I grafted a 3.5 female to my old nokia's pop port so I could hook it to my stereo (before I got a BT adapter) and to my amplified helmet speakers (that were sorced from a computer speaker set.) Before I lost the phone I was planning to add a 2.5 mono female socket for a lil clip-on mic I have. Point being, it's only 3 signals and a ground, should be able to come up with something.
