Just a weird case of OTA 4.4.4 on forum
[Xperia Z2 General] Envious_Data:
There has been a bug thats shown up for a while where rarely some people can get the update very early

It just lets me know the update is comming in a few weeks simply because its happened before
[Xperia Z2 General] gamer649:
Could the release be sometime between Friday and Monday? I'm saying thesse dates due to the open source archives being released. On my previous phone (Xperia M) Sony released the open source archives and then the update was released 4-5 days after. However, the dates I have said are pure guesswork from what I have seen in the past.
[Xperia Z2 General] V4LKyR:
So it has come? 4.4.4 for Sony Xperia Z2 has come?

Good good.
[Xperia Z2 General] Pandemic:
So far i know: No we dont still have the update but it will coming still closer.

Have some patience ^^

Sent From My Personal MW Revolution On My Xperia Z2
[Xperia Z2 General] Envious_Data:
It seems sony released the source few weeks before planned release of the update

So as proven and as just predicted, end of this month or a couple weeks into next month

It isnt end of the month yet so lets wait some time and see
[Xperia Z2 General] El.Guaje:
I'm not sure but I have read somewhere that Z2 uses imx220.

I cant find any info about imx200
[Xperia Z2 General] bluheart:
Even if one Z2 get updated to 4.4.4, we shall have the ftf to flash. Have patience :)
[Xperia Z2 General] gm007:
Instead of rolling 4.4.4 they are updating albums and movies
[Xperia Z2 General] Envious_Data:
What gave you this idea?

4.4.4 update is coming to fix some core android bugs and some security issues

And the update coming is the New UI so albums and movies update wont do this

I hope this didnt sound rude. Excuse me if it did.
[Xperia Z2 General] gm007:
What Idea? I know 4.4.4 is coming soon but while waiting wanted to tell u there is new album n movies update ;)
[Xperia Z2 General] Envious_Data:
Im not exactly sure how to reply to this then...

The word "instead" was misused here
[Xperia Z2 General] yakupTR:
Bro I am from Turkish . I can't see Ota 4.4.4. But today album and movies update now.. When 4.4.4? Pls help..

Sony Xperia™ Z2
[Xperia Z2 General] 5teve:
No help required.. its not available yet... and even when its released you will probably have to wait..

Does patience not exist around the world any more?

[Xperia Z2 General] Envious_Data:
Aparently Not, this wasnt the case 2 years ago

Just a random note to Users

When 4.4.4 is out it will say it here

http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/software/phones/xperia-z2/
[Xperia Z2 General] zodiac100:
Considering that other Z flashships were updated to 4.4.4 ages ago, I think z2 users have been seriously made to wait here.

Obviously the 6 month cycle is to blame. We've been kept waiting so Sony can launch new devices. Great support for users who spent top dollar to buy a supposedly flagship premium device.

I've had a lot of issues with Sony in the past but the 6 month cycle takes the biscuit. Needless to say I won't be purchasing another Sony device until I see official confirmation that the policy has been ditched. Not hear say but official word from Sony written in blood lol!

Rumours also abound that Samsung and htc plan on updating their devices to android L before the years out. Sony users on the other hand will have to wait until Sony launches the z4 next year.

They seem to be the only manufacturer still selling software. Well I suppose when there are no notable hardware improvements, all you can sell is software!
[Xperia Z2 General] lee480:
1) I do not suffer from any issues with the software of the Z2.

2) Android 4.4.4 was only launched a day ago for the international Galaxy phones.

3) HTC did not say the update will be out by year end. They only said 90 days.

If you're substantiate your rants based on rumours, then ermmm..

4) Z2 and Z3 doesn't have the same shell, the SOC is different, camera and list goes on. I suppose you feel that the upgrade from M7 to M8 is revolutionary? Lol?

Please put your rants somewhere else. XDA is not a place for you to do that. I suggest Sony's support forums?
[Xperia Z2 General] Pandemic:
[MENTION=4704767]lee480[/MENTION]

I agree with you bro and he compare (Crappy) Samsung and HTC with Sony, what is that for joke ? totally useless and they are different, i am glad that i am not a Samsung fanboy, that device is just... terrible and also that touchwiz consume alot of ram and if Samsung brings alsways an update of the 1st ones it have always alot of bugs, like my best friend he have an S4 and crashed and was dead after update to 4.4.2.. what a joke LOL and HTC, nope i dont like device either, Sony is doing it great with updates it take a while but they test it 1st before release always and we people here on XDA find always a way to fix the small bugs and look at the people that owns a Samsung/LG/HTC device, they come always to the Sony Cross Device Development and that make me just laugh ^^
[Xperia Z2 General] kamalmawa:
Vodafone Australia testing in progress. Which means it's not that far probably with in next couple of days ?
[Xperia Z2 General] gm007:
Test is progress means 1 month lol
[Xperia Z2 General] Rick Poldo:
For us who already expect so much, some days are not anything. :p

I most likely be released in the first week of November. :cool:
[Xperia Z2 General] El.Guaje:
Operator is testing, huhm so international version must be rolled out :/
[Xperia Z2 General] gm007:
Branded phones get the update first thats the new sony strategy
[Xperia Z2 General] scrubber:
never had such a :cool:
[Xperia Z2 General] roanmy:
Does anyone know if there's ALAC support in the 4.4.4 rom for Z2?
[Xperia Z2 General] kamalmawa:
Testing in progress means Sony released the firmware to Vodafone software team. They usually test it for about a week or two. From my experience watching the Vodafone blog and Sony global firmware releases with both Z and Z2, other customised versions will get it with in a week ?

PS: Vodafone updates the blog software update status every Thursday, they may have started the testing early this week.
[Xperia Z2 General] El.Guaje:
Use update checker, check for new firmware regularly.

If the firmware officially roll out, Sony will post a topic on their blog. So just be patient.

I wonder with 4.4.4, z2 battery will be as god as z3?
[Xperia Z2 General] MichaelWT:
just to check, we'll lose root I assume?
[Xperia Z2 General] kokesh:
As it will erase /system, yes we most likely will.
[Xperia Z2 General] effective:
We've seen that like 2 weeks ago.And its posted here already.So be abit patient ew.
[Xperia Z2 General] dkionline:
Think about 3. Nov, than its 4weeks after certification.
[Xperia Z2 General] kamalmawa:
Yeah it was me posted that. So if you actually read my post properly 2 weeks ago it says "testing scheduled". Then last week I posted again saying "testing schedule for late October to early November".. Now this says "Testing in Progress"... Yeah I do have a patient and this was for people who actually appreciate any inside for what's happening with the firmware release stages..
[Xperia Z2 General] Haldi4803:
Patience? Can you eat that?

You need ROM support for that? Doesnt just the Walkman app need to support that?

Where exacly lies the difference from Z3 to Z2? The camera sensor!

But the SoC is the Same? So is the integrated Modem? And WiFi module?

Guess the Screen is different, but not more power efficient as Z2 beats Z3 in video benchmarks.
[Xperia Z2 General] roanmy:
^No, it doesn't, only lossy AAC.
[Xperia Z2 General] zodiac100:
Camera is different? Because of gimmicky 12800 which would produce the noisiest photos coming from such a small sensor. What Sony needs to do is improve the camera's performance at lower iso. On the z2,I never use superior auto and would never recommend it to anyone because it's a pile of complete garbage and since the 12800 iso business is only employed in that mode.... Well need I say more!

SOC is different? Knock yourself out with that extra 200mhz on the clock!

Also I made no comparisons with any other manufacturer. I said htc were an even bigger joke and that I would be switching to Samsung if the 6 month cycle isn't killed off and buried this year.

I'm completely focusing on what Sony does and only that. They're replacing the head of the mobile division shortly. Says it all.

Once again, better to have a logical rant than fanboy stupidity!
[Xperia Z2 General] lee480:
They're replacing their Head of Division because of falling mid range sales.

Period.

Don't like it? Think you're correct and Sony is lying in their Financial declaration, try getting an iPhone and maybe whistle blow to your local authorities.

Let try this again one final time:

The Z series have nothing to do with Sony's reduced forecast as officially confirmed, affirmed and declared by Sony's financial department.
[Xperia Z2 General] lanc3lot:
I suggest to stick to the point : 4.4.4 and create a new thread to... solve your differences

[Xperia Z2 General] lanc3lot:
And on Tuesday, we will have a new guess, and the show goes on!

On a more serious note, do we know anything about rooting on 4.4.4? I mean, as Z3 is already rooted i think, it would be easy to root it again?
[Xperia Z2 General] bdithug:
I could be wrong but I think z3 is only rooted with an unlocked bootloader
[Xperia Z2 General] Envious_Data:
Same base so if Z3 is rooted anything else with the New UI is rooted
[Xperia Z2 General] dkionline:
Very nice, lol...>.<

23.0.1.A.3.9 certified, now waiting 2 weeks again.
[Xperia Z2 General] lee480:
They're fine tuning the software in case of bugs - which is a good thing.

The current 4.4.2 build is already close to flawless.
[Xperia Z2 General] sam_conrad:
No it's not. It's usually stable, but my phone has hard locked twice (over 2 1/2 months) and also has intermittent WiFi and BT bugs consistent with what others have reported (WiFi losing then regaining connectivity ~10 seconds, BT needing reset after disconnecting from headset / car stereo) ...
[Xperia Z2 General] Credulos:
I do not have any of those problems in my 4.4.2
[Xperia Z2 General] Rick Poldo:
Some can explain this to me? Another update is certified, even if the other is not available? As well? :confused:
[Xperia Z2 General] dkionline:
It can be a fix, or vodafone build.
[Xperia Z2 General] El.Guaje:
May be this is the answer, D6502 did not receive that new build.

I hoped it will come in October, but the October is gone now. I wouldn't hope its gonna show up on Monday or any of the following days of the next week. It doesnt sound like sony. When Sony says something is coming in specific month, its always the last week of this month or even worse the last day. Now we have november, and as Im assuming we are going to wait until the end of the month. Ofc still I hope Im wrong.
[Xperia Z2 General] funky0308:
They were testing 23.0.1.A.0.167, testers reported bugs and Sony built new fw, fixed under 23.0.1.A.3.9 number.

If testers find new errors and bugs on this fw too, they will build new one...

I would rather wait for a few weeks/days to get stabile and good update then update my device with unrootable, full of bugs 4.4.4.

We need update but we need good update.

Update which will fix all know wifi, BT, sound and all other known problems, not 4.4.4 worse then 4.4.2.

Maybe...maybe, even more...

But that's hard to tell...

If everything goes smoothly on new fw, we could get update in a few days.
[Xperia Z2 General] lanc3lot:
Some people behave here, like their phones are not working at all or 4.4.4 is going to be like Lollipop! Lol, let it delay as much as it will need to be a perfect update! I also have Wi-Fi problems but i have other problems in my life, bigger than this issue ;) Haha, patience!

If Z3 is only rooted via unlocked bootloader, this is a problem...But i hope the community will help on this, and we will find a solution. I am rather sure for it :p
[Xperia Z2 General] Rick Poldo:
Thanks for the reply. ;)

But I have another doubt, they will start from scratch this new att or will continue testing where possible bugs found? Will it take more? :(
[Xperia Z2 General] funky0308:
No buddy...

They are testing Z2 4.4.4 and they already have finished firmware base.

After testing testers have to report user experience in couple of main categories and, of course, did they found any misbehaviors.

So, if they, for example, found that new fw had BT unlock screen problem they will fix that, they won't build new fw just because of few little bugs.

It'll be here soon...
[Xperia Z2 General] Svid:

[Xperia Z2 General] kamalmawa:
He has a demo unit.. Changing customization number won't help.. See that LTA version has demo at the end, ours ends with row ;)
[Xperia Z2 General] xxlikquidxx:
Faster charging can be accomplish with a higher output charging adapter, at least 2 amp or more and a thicker USB cable with at least 26 awg. I use my Samsung Galaxy S4 OEM charger and it charge my Z2 from 10% battery to 100% in 2 hours.
[Xperia Z2 General] noshatake:
So....Can he inform us on an estimate at least? :p Please? :D
[Xperia Z2 General] ghostofcain:
He could but what makes you think it'd be any more accurate than the half dozen already in this thread? Just chill it'll be out soon and if you can't wait install one of the leak based roms in the development threads.
[Xperia Z2 General] dkionline:
Maybe ota for 23.0.1.A.3.9 in demo?
[Xperia Z2 General] Mazellat:
Good good but version is "....0.167"

We are waiting for "....3.9" becuase this is last certified fw
[Xperia Z2 General] numskull:
Possible you can make an ftf from this??? then all the whiners can see why it wasnt released (bugs) and i can see if i can get remote play working on my phone lol
[Xperia Z2 General] funky0308:
Guys, stop molesting this guy.

He already said that's the demo unit and it's not his property.

4.4.4 will be here soon...why are you acting like a two year old kids?

Can't you just chat here relaxed and wait for official release?
[Xperia Z2 General] Svid:
No point of making ftf for .167 since newer version got certificate. And for the guy that asked me, i'm working at local Sony repair lab.
[Xperia Z2 General] ice_lander:
totally agree....guys roll a joint and have patience
[Xperia Z2 General] El.Guaje:
Off topic a bit.

Looks like Sam skip 4.4.4 and go straight to 5.0.

Leaked screenshots.

IMO, new UI look as bad as before... With Sony, Android 5.0 woud be awsome!

There's a camera app that allow us to adjust shutter speed, etc...

So I think, calm down guys. 4.4.4 will roll out soon, and after that, we will get Android 5.0 at the beginning of 2015!
[Xperia Z2 General] numskull:
I understand that theres no point since a newer version is incoming, i just think it would stop a lot of people asking questions and also stop them asking when it will arrive etc...... didnt mean to hassle you, its just that you're the only guy who could do it. Also i saw, that you couldnt get to the handset as it was at the office, but didnt realize it wasnt your phone.

On a slightly different note, as you work at a repair lab, do you know if the reason my playstation app has stopped working is an issue with the latest update for it, or is it because i have unlocked bootloader and no drm keys?? Always worked fine before, but maybe this upcoming remote play feature uses drm somehow???
[Xperia Z2 General] Svid:
I'm sorry but i can't help you regarding your question. My Job is only to fix physicly dead phones (parts replacement like screen, dead eMMC Chips and etc...) But if the feature worked for you before on UB so it should work now aswell. Might be version specific issue (not maintained by me or local sony branch)
[Xperia Z2 General] ajftl:

My patience for that 4.4.4 is already far , the most neglected of the year Flaghship Z2 . That's the price of 2 flaghships per year . Blunder

Small changes do not justify such a delay.

Sorry for the English.
[Xperia Z2 General] 5teve:
Small changes? So if they had released 4.4.4 earlier as they have for the previous models and excluded all features of the Z3, you would be on here moaning about the lack of support for a 6 month old flagship and that it should have the same features as the z3 as its only 6 month old and essentially the same hardware..

I have never in my life seen a forum (or sub forum) with so many impatient users.. let them test it, get it right and then roll it out.. it will happen... then you can moan about your carrier taking time to roll it out... and then you can moan about the bugs..

rant over....
[Xperia Z2 General] nazzier5463:
Im getting sick with Z2 4.4.2.

People are getting 5.0 while we're waiting 4.4.4 which unknows when it going to release.

Planning to grab Nexus 6
[Xperia Z2 General] 5teve:
Really? Who? Oh thats right the journo's that have had preview hardware... 5.0 was released today and is available on the nexus 9 and nexus 6 the former is available to order today, the latter is pre-order only. If you have a nexus or play edition you may see it soon...

Samsung?... no real news

HTC.. within 90 days from today, thats potentially February 2015

Sony - Early 2015

I really hope your not on a crappy carrier as it could take months extra... if you really are that worried, unlock your phone and start using custom roms..

Go ahead and grab a Nexus 6 but dont bother us with your pissed off replies, its all about patience and if you dont have that.. Learn to have it because some of your people that ask alot of times where is 4.4.4 ?

Just wait !!

Samsung release already 5.0 but who cares ?

I dont because 5.0 for Samsung is always full of bugs but yes what you can except from a plastic device, Sony is smart and fixing all the remaining bugs after some tests and then release it, that is a good discission in my opinion because i should do that also !

Please people and also the crying kids have patience and dont mess up whole XDA because ya'll cant reach none with that !!
[Xperia Z2 General] lee480:

Update will be released when engineers, programmers and designers finish it...

I really doubt Sony has it but don't want to release it...

I don't need 4.4.4 that is worse then 4.4.2, I believe no one wants that....

So... start to enjoy in your device, there are many othet things in life then waiting your device to update...
