Um... Who said you HAD to update? I subscribed to this forum to get information on when the update would get released not hear so many whiny little babies. Not trying to single you out but it's every person on here that whines whines whines. Check this out, I'm on stock T-Mobile 4.2.2 and I'm not sure when we will receive the update. Heck we got skipped on 4.3. I actually flashed a 4.2.2 rom from a Spain ftf and when T-Mobile finally released theirs I flashed back to their stock 4.1.2 rom. Yeah the rom I tried was buggy but the main part was that it was FUNCTIONAL. You don't like the 4.4.2 rom you've been complaining about and whining for so long who cares. Common sense people would just flash another rom or ftf file. The first comment on the update having lag issues I think has been read by everyone subscribed to the forum already but to just see the same crap over and over is getting childishly ridiculous. "I haven't received the update yet" "when will the update come here" "I got the update but I'm having the same issues everybody has already described they are having". Post a new issue you may have that nobody else has stated. I'm really close to unsubscribing to this forum cause common sense seems to lack here.

TL;DR: Stop whining so much. Nobody forced you to take an update you complained about wanting for so long.
[Xperia Z General] dvd777:
Who is whining? I just said that isn't cool from Sony that they didn't have any official statement about the problems.

I couldn't care less why are you here.

I think You just did.

So? What connection your case have with that I said about Sony support?

I do not have any issue with KK except lag in settings, which l fixed with Force GPU rendering. After few reboots, do not have any other problem and, main thing, do not have battery drain like with first 4.3 version of firmware.

*sigh*

Find my post where I whine about waiting on KK. Please do.

NHF, mate, just have different opinion about Sony support ;)

[Xperia Z General] androidtweaker1:
Yes reset will solve the issue it will reset the battery stats.

[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
Battery stats (more specifically the batterystats.bin file) have no effect on battery life at all.

See this G+ post by Android framework engineer Diane Hackborn. ;)
[Xperia Z General] deniel:
I was nearly "terrified" to update to KK after all the bad comments about the lag.

[Xperia Z General] androidtweaker1:
It's served the purpose for me kingvortex.noticed a fair improved battery life after reset
[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
Perhaps, but it's absolutely nothing to do with the battery stats being reset. They're reset each time the phone is fully charged anyway. If you don't believe me, then believe the person that works on Android that I linked to. :)

BATTERY!!!!!

With the latest 4.4.2 update the battery usage is crap again!!!

Now Android OS uses atleast 25-35% of the battery, while it should use under 10%.

The Screen that should use the most is after Android OS at 20%.

This same thing happened on the first 4.3 update, but the fixed it after a month or something on the second update.

Is there a fix, or do we just have to wait on a new update again..........

[Xperia Z General] mohdsubaie:
It's entirely up to you. 4.4 is not as stable as 4.3 but, a lot of users have come with workarounds to sort the known issues. If you like to show off the latest OS on your device then upgrade. If you want a tried and tested stable OS stay on 4.3 for a little longer till 4.4 catches up.

The cycle of users wanting the latest OS and then moaning about issues will never end and who knows 4.4 might be the last official update that our device receives as it reaches its 18 month end of update period threshold. Once a premium device becomes obsolete and outdated within 6 months or so that is how the mobile manufacturers make money

if your device is rooted and xposed is installed you can download wakelock terminator from google play, once you install the app in "all app" search for Google play services, tap and check the option "prevent wake lock" then go to Filter wake lock and add this " NlpCollectorWakeLock NlpWakeLock CheckinService NetworkLocationLocator" (without the quotes) it works!

Try this. Uninstall updates for google play services from settings/app/all tab then re-install google play services from google play.

[Xperia Z General] graffus:
I think i managed to solve the battery consumption by "Google Services": (i'm italian so i'm traslating the various steps by imagination :P )

go to "settings" > under "personal" go to "localization" > tap on "google play services" > deactivate it! and tap on "replace with original one"

The phone will tell you that you have to manage the administrators of the phone 'cause this is an administrator so tap "ok" and de-flag the last administrator (the one about deactivating the phone if the phone is stolen, etc). You will see a process of deactivation of "Google Services".

You will now see a yellow triangle on the notification bar, tap on it and deactivate notifications for this app :)

That's all and my battery consumption is now normal!

Nice litte Performance-boost

I don't know if anone has posted this already, but I've flashed some Qualcomm-optimized libraries from the Nexus 4 forum and my performance is better than ever.

It works pretty well because the Nexus 4 uses the Snapdragon S4 Pro, too.

The system is super smooth and the multitasking is just godlike :D

Just flash the optimized dalvik and bionic libraries and have fun with your Xperia Z:

[Xperia Z General] Denis_96:

[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
Completely stock, apart from root.

Like I said in another thread regarding the Qualcomm optimised dalvik and bionic zips, it's likely we already have newer versions of them. In fact, I ran checksums and we already have an identical dalvik vm to the one in the zips and one of the bionic libs is also identical.
[Xperia Z General] Denis_96:

[Xperia Z General] Denis_96:
I looked at the checksums and the bin-files are the same, but the libs aren't.

So this shouldn't just be a placebo-effect. ;)
[Xperia Z General] applefruit:
Are you running Xposed? My 4.3 spikelab PE V1 rom scored 22034 with xposed disabled but dropped to 17880 with it activated and a module running.
[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
I did say that we might have newer versions of the libs that don't match. It seems odd that we would have the Qualcomm optimised Dalvik VM binaries but not the libs and only one of the bionic libs when Qualcomm supply all that stuff to Sony. I'll run checksums against the stock libs in the thread the zips came from if I get time tomorrow and we'll see if they match. :)

No. Completely stock means completely stock lol. No mods etc apart from a modified hosts file. :)

Anyone have official 4.4. Kit Kat update in Australia? Almost the end of the month now and in the Xperia Z website for Australia, it says this month... Hopefully this isn't a carrier thing considering that I have received updates close to the same time as everyone else in the world.

Thanks.
[Xperia Z General] Hellscythe:
Hey I live in Australia too.

You can flash a different region FTF onto your phone and there will be no problems. However it is recommended you backup your media and do a factory reset before doing so. Root is not required so I believe anybody can do it.

I relocked my bootloader and flashed a Nordic FTF onto my device before passing it down to another family member :)
[Xperia Z General] azzajess:
Thanks for the quick reply :D

I might have a look at this tomorrow, but a quick question, won't this void my warranty? I'm guessing no one else has official OTA Kit Kat which makes me feel a bit better :P
[Xperia Z General] Hellscythe:
Nope, this will not void your warranty. Your bootloader status is not touched and your device will not be rooted. The only thing you are doing is changing the region code of your device, so instead of it being an Australian region device, it will now be Nordic, which makes almost no difference. Infact with Nordic firmware, you will probably receive OTA updates earlier.
[Xperia Z General] azzajess:
That's great to know! Thanks very much for the info.

You don't need a TA backup to relock your bootloader. You can relock with Flashtool.
[Xperia Z General] SXZdabbler:
Ok I have restored the BL to locked state (everything got cleared as in factory reset) and had to flash a ROM as it would not boot up after the locking. The Swiss generic is up and running again.

Restoring the BL to the locked state seemed to leave the phone in flash mode, even after attempting to shut it down.

[Xperia Z General] Hellscythe:
you either will not be able to get 3g/LTE, or you will get worse signal/speed if your modem doesn't have the (optimal) frequencies that your carrier uses ;)

It may also drain more battery becomes your phone will "try harder" to maintain signal.

[Xperia Z General] Hellscythe:

[Xperia Z General] DrUnKenSTeiN:
With a locked bootloader you need to downgrade to a 4.2.2 rom(there are many 4.2.2 .ftf ,here in general chat to flash, do a search). Flash it with flashtool http://www.flashtool.net/download.php .

Then root http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2327472
