If you read the last few pages before your last post 2 other people other than me asked you for your customization no which one of them included how to find the customization number. Before I posted my last comment I already read your previous comments on both S3 and Z2 forums. You already knew how to check the build date on your mobile from the information printed where Micro-SD card slot is where it also says what's your original customization number. I wasn't being impatient I just wanted confirm what you said as I couldn't find the information any where else. I genuinely thought it was fake as I've seen similar post on XDA.

And now I can confirm it's .438 will post a FTF as soon as I can so other's can test it too.. have a good day

He's with Singapore Singtel
[Xperia Z2 General] esps:
it was release??
[Xperia Z2 General] Sango2:
Yap. The entry in the DB got added incorrectly thou, which needs to be corrected.

The "1" in the Region and the Branding as "Asia" is the Singapore one.

Sent a PM to the Macmol to address it.
[Xperia Z2 General] kamalmawa:
yes it is released. uploading a FTF as we speak ETA 1hr and 45min
[Xperia Z2 General] pokerfake:

http://www.digi-wo.com/thread-18957-1-1.html

Chinese website is too slow to download, but you can get SingTel FTF.

It also says "ROOTABLE with LOCKED Bootloader", which means Towelroot exploit wasn't patched.
[Xperia Z2 General] kamalmawa:
Yes.. It is rootable. I already got it rooted and NUT's Dual Recovery running ;)... Uploading FTF to Mega now will take another 90min as I got a slow connection

Installed fine on my phone. Haptic seems to be weaker now for the first few presses. Also, beware the massive amounts of bloatware apps from SingTel. ;)
[Xperia Z2 General] jeremy.shi:
Is that the only improvement?
[Xperia Z2 General] hendriksan:
I have tried to install the .438 SingTel, and I noticed the screen colour has become more white, checked the white balance settings but all value was 0 as default.

I'll wait for others firmware from different region once it becomes available and give it a try to compare.
[Xperia Z2 General] El.Guaje:
Damn, I want this update so badly... Please roll out for D6502 and Asia region please...
[Xperia Z2 General] funky0308:
Someone already said that heating is still here...

That's not something important to me (If I record 4K it's not longer then 5 min because it's large and I don't have 4K tv to watch that but that's certainly something Sony should fix (at least work on undervolting).

For now we know that:

Touchscreen sensitivity is better, when in deep sleep tap to wake is better and white screen calibration is good (without user calibration)
[Xperia Z2 General] trbr:

[Xperia Z2 General] tel033:
I don't care about 4k either but when it affects regular use of the camera in a hot weather then yes it bothers
[Xperia Z2 General] SexyIceCream:
unfortunately, it's not just 4k... "creative effects" "panorama" and "ar effects" causes the camera to shut down after a few minutes too :rolleyes:
[Xperia Z2 General] funky0308:
As I said...

I don't have those problems but I know they are here...

I just rarely use those features for long then 5 mins.

That's something Sony, obviously, messed up and I really hope it's software problem but I doubt...

It'll be better with S805, S801 is good but that's only S800 on steroids and we can clearly see it's not enough..

Sony think we could spend 1000$ every six months...
[Xperia Z2 General] BR4DOKYBrazil:
Any improvements in camera ???
[Xperia Z2 General] kamalmawa:
I managed to record 19min and 30sec 4K video before camera shut itself. Don't know whether it's due to overheat or my SD CARD full(300mb left) as there was a warning message about it's being full as well.

PS: I never tested 4K video on earlier firmware as I received this as a refurbished replacement last week after breaking the screen. And it's around 10c room temperature

Sorry, by better you meant it's even more sensitive than before or less? Mine is hypersensitivity atm, which is really annoying and I had to root my phone just to change the sensitivity. If the problem is finally fixed, no more rooting the phone for me.
[Xperia Z2 General] SexyIceCream:
well, room temp here is about 30 degrees...bad luck
[Xperia Z2 General] cr0wnest:
Double tap to wake seems more responsive and reliable. Battery wise, I think its just as awesome as before. Unlike Samsung which seems to have inconsistent battery life with different software updates.
[Xperia Z2 General] NetSkill:
Yes my friend with z1c already recived it
[Xperia Z2 General] seventieslord:
Do we have a list of what has been improved, officially?

It sounds like I'll be in a position where I have to decide whether to upgrade.

I've already installed .402, rooted, transferred all texts over (which took TB 2 days) and restored apps, etc, then spent two days customizing the hell out of it with Xposed framework.

What am I going to have to redo if I install .438?
[Xperia Z2 General] kersey:
Just flash via Flashtool unticking the three options of wipe data, cache and appslog and you phone will be as before but with the latest firmware

Sent from my Xperia Z2
[Xperia Z2 General] seventieslord:
No rooting? No re freezing or uninstalling bloatware?
[Xperia Z2 General] kersey:
You'll need to re-root (1 min with Easy Root), and freeze or uninstall the carrier apps (2 mins via TB) and all will be good,

It really is worth upgrading for the very minor amount of hassle.
[Xperia Z2 General] seventieslord:
Cool, that's not so bad.

Although I didn't find easy root to actually be very easy...

So do we know what are the improvements in this release?

I also thought about a couple other things. I installed a mod to use both speakers for speakerphone instead of just one, and another one that raised the overheat values to avoid the camera closing so often... and something else, I already forget what. Is this new firmware going to overwrite those values so I'll have to reflash those as well?
[Xperia Z2 General] iArvee:
Yes, thus the need for re-rooting :D

Supposedly it should come out this week but I haven't seen any certification o ptcrb yet
[Xperia Z2 General] funky0308:
Anyone (except Singapore) got 438 update info?
[Xperia Z2 General] El.Guaje:
Maybe, they want to surprise us, no certification till update rolls out. (Like Z1, they have the firmware just before a certification).

I think it's not. Some regions including mine has not recieved 402 update.
[Xperia Z2 General] colacin:
And not all carriers in Singapore have .438. Neither .402 nor .438 have gone live for Starhub in Singapore.
[Xperia Z2 General] Xaroc8:
I can confirm this. I too have an unlocked Z2 straight from the Sony Store, using on Rogers Wireless, it's stuck on .55

From reading around, .55 is all Canada has got so far, other countries have gone 3 updates ahead or something like that. I'm a noob to Sony phones, so I don't want to flash willy-nilly without knowing more. If it was a sammy phone, I would have already fired up Odin. my lack of experience with Sony holds me back.

Kinda playing it safe and trying to wait it out.
[Xperia Z2 General] NetSkill:
Time to learn mate.. Belive me its easy all you need is Flashtool and FTF (firmware file) everything is here along with tutorial

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2759934
[Xperia Z2 General] bryanhayn:
The guy above me is right. It really is that easy. Flash the FTF of your choice then use the easy root tool to root. No need to unlock boot loader.
[Xperia Z2 General] Xaroc8:
Thanks Guys! I managed to flash the .402 but I'm also seeing the Singapore 438. Would flashing a branded FTF cause any issues for me with a Canadian device, such as Connection issues (I can fix APN) or bloat, Sim lock, etc. ?
[Xperia Z2 General] funky0308:
No, it'll work fine.

Exclude baseband from flashing and, if you want to preserve data, exclude wiping - you could leave cache wipe, that's OK....

[Xperia Z2 General] kamalmawa:
Any reason why you asked to exclude baseband from flashing ? Unless you using a different variant such as D6502 (3G only). You don't have to exclude baseband. .438 firmware was released for D6503 so if you have the same device you don't have to worry about excluding the baseband..
[Xperia Z2 General] DrearierJester1:
To all those who flash their Z2 with .438 firmware, did you receive the latest app update for Walkman? Coz I didn't but did install the latest app update via APK released by XperiaBlog.
[Xperia Z2 General] funky0308:
Because those are baseband files and no matter it's for 6503 you can have 4g problems - like me and many other users.

Solution is simple, use your carrier baseband files and new system/data/kernel from 438.

T-mobile changed something in modem drivers and without that modification I can't access LTA.

Every time device try to switch to LTA I get red cross above signal bars.

As I said, using my carriers baseband files everything is working just fine..
[Xperia Z2 General] kamalmawa:
What baseband files are we talking about? RILs?
[Xperia Z2 General] twistedddx:
Maybe you should switch to LTE and attempt to connect to LTE network :D
[Xperia Z2 General] funky0308:
Yeah...that could be it :P

Won't even bother to answer on drivers/RIL question.

I actually know what I'm talking about, if someone thinks different - cool.
[Xperia Z2 General] kamalmawa:
Have you got a link to your t-mobile ROM? I could try to extract the baseband files and compare them to one of the other TFT I have. I'm really curious about this as I always thought all Sony ROMs are the same and there's no difference other than carrier boaltware. I used to extract RILs and modem files from Galaxy S3 firmwares as Samsung firmwares had many different RIL and modem combinations for each and every region. You can find that thread here

I hope so, I have waited too long for 402, but It never come to my region. Don't know if same thing happens to 4.4.4
[Xperia Z2 General] twistedddx:
Telstra lists another 4.4.2 bugfix release to be submitted to them at the end of July.

http://crowdsupport.telstra.com.au/t5/Device-Updates/Handset-Software-Updates-07-07-2014/td-p/328015

Telstra is normally fairly decent with updates to flagship phones. I doubt they would get a 4.4.2 update while at the same time Sony releases a 4.4.4. update for everyone else.
[Xperia Z2 General] kamalmawa:
from my experience Telstra is always the last one to release updates. Vodafone already released this 4.4.2 bug fix release which is firmware 17.1.1.A.0.402. And Vodafone have announced they are waiting for another software update for testing this month as well I'm guessing that would be 4.4.4 update ;)
[Xperia Z2 General] juicejuice:
I saw that and wondered if the two week delay meant that Sony would like to try and submit the 4.4.4 update instead?
[Xperia Z2 General] twistedddx:
Vodafone Australia Z2 is on 17.1.A.2.69 according to Update Checker, I assume it launched with that, while Telstra launched earlier with 17.1.A.2.55.

Why would Sony be waiting another 2 weeks to even submit the 17.1.1.A.0.402 ROM to Telstra? Telstra can delays things once they receive an update, but they should not be the cause for Sony to delay submitting a ROM in the first place. It makes even less sense for Sony to further delay an update they have already built and tested a month ago.

I would say Telstra either opted out of the 402 release, rejected it or Sony Australia decided Australia market would not get the minor update.

I am leaning more towards juicejuice with maybe Sony delayed to align with a wider 4.4.4 release, if that is true. Or simply everyone is getting another 4.4.2 release in August like Telstra is claiming :)
[Xperia Z2 General] kamalmawa:
My Vodafone device came with 55 and updated to 402 couple of days ago ;) check the screenshot below
[Xperia Z2 General] twistedddx:

Hello,

I am new to this stuff, never done anything like rooting.

I used Nexus 4 for some time, with original system, and KitKat 4.4.2.

Now I decided to change the phone because I needed a phone with 2 SIM card slots, and good battery, so I ordered Lenovo S860.

It came with some Chinese applications installed, but everything was all right.

Yesterday I got the notification that there is an update for the system, so I updated.

Now I have different GUI, and there is no Google Play at all, just some Chinese applications and some Lenovo app store, which is in Chinese so I can't understand a thing :confused:

Can anyone help me with this issue, please? I would be so grateful :)

I assume you've tried a reset and everything?

If you are conviced it's broken, I'd claim off the warrenty (if it's still there). If the warrenty has ended, most places will still take it back and fix it for a fee.

Another option is to claim off your home contents insurance. I think some are ok with mobile phones, but there is an excess with this.

That is called ActionBar, look at the documentation here to implement it
