From reading between the lines,it looks like 227 will be released first and 230 could come soon with fixes,I could be way off though don't seem like we have anything concrete atm.
[Xperia Z General] Futura2000:
Just because a firmware gets certified doesn't mean it will get released it just means that its passed all the necessary tests for release and sony have a habit of skipping some releases its been that way for years even when it was sony ericsson.

[Xperia Z General] Ben Ling:
i think Sony will release the .230 firmware next week :)
[Xperia Z General] crazymister:
Based on what info? Because they said mid Q2? Mid Q2 is all of may, so don't go and guess like a chicken without a head, because they still have 3 weeks to release or within their schedule. And even if they don't release it in may, we can't hold them responsible because it's only a schedule. Schedules can always go past their deadlines, because it just isn't exact science, every little typo they make has the potential of being a bug. You try to find 1 typo in thousands of lines of text, it's harder than most of you seem to think.

Just relax and wait. It'll get there when it's done, and not a minute sooner, and if they feel like it, weeks later
[Xperia Z General] AntonyStark:
They could be basing it on the week gap between certification and Update with 4.3 in December.
[Xperia Z General] demonicangell™:
i was just gonna ask that ..what has the gap been in previous updates .. no hurry though .. will eat it when its here
[Xperia Z General] Ben Ling:
because usually they will release the update after 1 week of the certification in PTCRB,but not always,sometimes only...

.230 should be the first release of Android 4.4.2 for Xperia Z / ZL / ZR / Tablet Z
[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
You don't know that for sure. DooMLoRD said it was another internal test version for prototype devices like .227. Certification does not necessarily mean it's release software. There are several certified software versions on the PTCRB page that weren't released to consumer devices. ;)

We will have to wait and see anyway. I would also sooner wait a little longer for more thoroughly tested software. :)
[Xperia Z General] Ben Ling:
DooMLoRD told me that

"Official release should be there soon

Things are in final operator acceptance"

He also said that Sony will be rolling out .230 or .230+ firmware
[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
In a PM or publicly? If publicly, then link please. Either way, I accept you are most probably correct if the information came from DooMLoRD. :)

You should have just said that someone that knows had told you that in your original post, as it just looked like you were making a guess like everyone else here. ;)

When u receive ota update for different version (e.g 4.3 to 4.4, or maybe next time to key lime pie ... if got the chance), try to factory reset.

[Java for Android App Development] giuliomvr:
Hey Guys,

I am creating a app to rename other apps via xposed and the main code is written. Now I simply want to make a interface where you can define a app to rename and then enter a new name. For the beginning I thought about a Activity where you enter the Package Name and the desired name. Later on I want to use a list view to show all apps, from where you can choose one to rename(Like App Settings etc.). To show the renamed apps I want to use a ListView. Now I am stuck with a problem: My xposed code works with an array to check and rename. The list view can be used with an array or an arraylist, but I need a way to store the preferences(which are stored in a array).

Do you have a good idea or a sample how to realise this? And does somebody know a nice App List type of thing(I googled, but the project there aren't usable with my kind of approach.)
[Java for Android App Development] SimplicityApks:
Ah the data storage problem... I think we all came across this at least once ;). I suppose you read this guide on the different options available? Well there are actually three options: SharedPreferences, text or csv file and SQL.

The first one would need some work around and is probably the slowest. You would save a separate string directly into the SharedPreferences (maybe in a new file to avoid collisions?) with the array name and its index somehow in the key. That's just two methods of coding but not the nicest way to do it.

The text or csv file however is the more common way, here you'd save your array in one line of the file, each item separated with a ; or some other char. Needs a bit more coding and also the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission on preKitKat if I remember correctly.

The third one is the nicest and most modular one. Because it makes use of SQL it needs quite a bit of knowledge and some coding (but less than the text file).

I guess for simple things that you want to do it is better to stay away from SQL for now unless you know how to use it and use the SharedPreferences.

Edit: take a look at the answers to this question, they give you the code as well... And you can use StringSets in ICS and above if the order of your list doesn't matter !
[Java for Android App Development] Jonny:
I'd say go down the SQLite DB way, chances are that if you plan on expanding your coding knowledge and want to keep creating apps you'll be needing to learn this in the future anyway so why delay?

Google AndroidHive and look at their SQL tutorial - I used it when learning and found it very informative :)
[Java for Android App Development] giuliomvr:
Thank you very much! As coming from windows, first of all I thought about SQL as well, but it seems oversized for the set of data i want to store. I also took a look at the stackoverflow thread you linked. It looks easy to implement, but the need to use an external class file made me look for another way. I found this one, which works pretty well for me, as I look forward to interchange the method of saving the data with a better one using the SharedPreferences(which actually should be really easy with my code).

Maybe you can tell me yet another thing: Is there a way of declaring an object(like the ArrayList) to make it accessible from every class except from giving every class(activity) it's own "load the preferences" and "save the preferences" code block or sending intents all over the place? This would make saving much easier and allow me to update the preferences during runtime and without a reboot

Edit: This was my answer to.SimplicityApks ^^ I'll take a closer look at SQL now, since you, Jonny, told me that it' nevertheless necessary. :)
[Java for Android App Development] SimplicityApks:
Welcome ;)

You mean you want to make your ArrayList, which is an instance variable in the activity, accessible to every other class within your package without having an instance of your activity at hands? Well the basic solution would be to make the ArrayList static. But that is not recommended because it won't be created and garbage collected at the same time as your activity and also it's not a nice way ;).

If you had an instance of the activity it would be just using a public getter for it, but without I'd put your ArrayList into a separate class following the Singleton pattern. That way you have only one global instance which contains the ArrayList.
[Java for Android App Development] giuliomvr:
Thanks again for your reply! I changed my mind about the ArrayList and created a method, where everything is stored in the SharedPreferences and the ArrayList's only purpose is the use with the ListView and Adapter. This way I don't have to write the ArrayList to the SharedPreferences and changes will be much easier to control. Although I had to implement another type of save/load method to interact with the class thats being loaded by xposed. That was needed because of the restriction that you can only load SharedPreferences with a context, which my class doesn't have. It's an inconvenient way, but it works :D

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kenjari:
As much as I deeply appreciate the N5, my area didn't support the LTE for quite some time. I left the phone on my dressor for a month. I decided to activate recently and use it for a few days. I'm a big fan of Mahdi Rom....don't want to explore much of anything else. The problem is I wanted to test LTE activation for my area. I flashed stock and updated my PRL and Profile and got two bars with decent speed. Traveled a couple miles and it kept a decent signal.

I flashed back to Mahdi and was stuck in the 3G thing again. I flashed again back to stock and the LTE was available. Back to Mahdi.... you get the point.

What do stock have at this point that custom ROMS may not have? I really want to come back to N5 but I can't justify it without LTE. I know the towers were upgraded in my area with one last data change coming in June.

Please help.

You're probably on 4.4.2, which by default gets the .23 radio. The .23 radio isn't very good for LTE reception in my experience on Sprint but the .15 or .17 do way better at picking up signal and keeping it. I get at least 10 higher dBm on the .15.

I have this problem as well and have yet to find a solution.

I am on Sprint and at my desk at work I get 2 bars LTE, ~4Mbps download with the latest stock ROM and radio.

With any other ROM I get 2 bars 3G and ~360Kbps download speed. Furthermore, the signal drops entirely at random and reconnects a minute or 2 later.

Can anyone provide some insight? What do custom ROMs do so differently regarding the phone service that could cause this? I'm a tech savvy web developer so if I have to build a ROM myself that removes those changes I absolutely will. Just need some initial guidance.

Thanks.

Try backing up your APN settings from Sprint stock, flash your rom, flash the zip again, and restore settings.

When I was trying out MIUI, I had to do this for Sprint to get LTE working, so it might be worth a shot?

Certainly worth a shot. I'll try it out here in a bit, thank you.

Holy crap, that did it! I was kind of doubtful at first because the "sprint.zip" earlier in this thread didn't help but this application certainly does. Does anyone know if it does anything more than backup/restore the apns-conf.xml because I'd like to be able to perform this manually.

Thanks again, this truly made my day.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kenjari:
Would you say that you are getting signal similar to stock on your custom ROM now?

Also, do you think we have to do this with every new ROM flash? Mahdi is updated frequently so not sure if the settings will stick or not!

Thank you everyone who has posted and answered this long complicated problem with N5.

I know this was probably resolved months ago but I figured I would take a stab at it one last time. And I got some excellent solutions.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alpha2zulu00:
I've actually gotten my phone to receive LTE in places it did not before with any ROM, stock or otherwise, by further customizing my APN file. I broke incoming calls during the process but figured that out as well. However I'm without MMS now. I have the feeling that flashing my custom APNs with the stock ROM and running HFA would be going in the right direction so I'm going to do that now. I'll share my findings thus far later today.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mackdaddy57:
This may help for LTE reception

When I started Sprint service on my N5, I was on Carbon Rom. In order to get LTE fully functioning, I needed to replace my MDN and MSID and reset network settings.

To reset MDN and MSID, download Hidden Menus off of the play store. Access the menu option that I believe is done through the dialer as *#*#675#*#*. This will allow you to input your MDN and MSID correctly because mine would not pick up automatically from HFA. After that, reset network settings using ##72786#. That have gotten me full LTE capabilities on every rom I put on my N5.

If you have already done this before, then sorry for the wasted time. If you haven't and it works, I would like to know so I can advise other people the same.
