It annoys me that you can't put that nice simple clock from the alarm screen on the homescreen. I've looked for clock widgets but they're all useless in one way or another so I stick with the digital clock.

There are some fails in the interface of Lollipop OS but overall its a nice and fresh improvement compared to KK.

I heard some rumors that some Companys wanna skip 5.1 because of the close release of 5.2.

So basically the M7 has it, the Note 3 just got it today as well. I'm getting the M9 when it hits tmobile, I love the xperia and the update isn't why but I keep having problems with it (receiving texts a day late, proximity sensor not working when in calls, mobile data turning off randomly).
[Xperia Z3 General] caqo71:
Your z3 is defective. I never heard about these issues.

The M9 does seem super tempting, but I already used a M7 and there isn't too big a difference between the Z3 and the M9. I DO miss the amazing Beats Audio though!!

Sent from the inner sanctum of my mind.
[Xperia Z3 General] Drzfr3shboialex:
They now added surround sound 5.1, improved the camera, to me the M9 is superior to the Z3 in every way (exception being design they're equally as beautiful), but the only downside is that it's not waterproof, it's amazing to have.
[Xperia Z3 General] Prasad:
They're all tiny increments over the Z3. Certainly can't jump to every new phone that adds 1%. Besides, battery life will take a major hit.

[Xperia Z3 General] Drzfr3shboialex:
Actually the best battery life I've had is with the M8. Plus the wide-screen ultra pixel front camera is a huge plus to me.

Actually, I like Sony and my Z3c, even with 4.4.4 - it's stable and has great battery life. When the update arrives I'll be a little more happy.

[Xperia Z3 General] persian_redhat:
I found a joke told by Sony Vice President for Western Europe about Xperia Z3 user experience

www.gsmarena.com/newscomm-11442.php

What a nice experience about Lollipop release delay we all have :mad:
[Xperia Z3 General] PlaiBOi:
I've been following this thread for a while now, and with the chance of getting executed, im gonna give my opinion on this.

I've owned Sony smartphones since the X10, and yes, Sony is not the fastest at updating, and yes, they did say that Lollipop would be released in february.

But i did'nt buy the Z3 because of that. I bought it because i think it is a beautiful phone with some awesome hardware inside. Lollipop or Kitkat is not gonna change that.

Right now, i'm pretty damned satisfied with how my phone is working, it's stable, good battery life, and it's snappy. I'm looking forward to lollipop, no doubt, but seriosly, it's not a dealbreaker for me.

The phone is still an awesome device, and if i have to wait a week or two for lollipop, it will still be an awesome device for that week or two extra.

All the people talking about selling their phones and buying a new phone from a company that is faster with updates should probably do that, because next time a new version of Android is being released, the story is most likely gonna repeat itself. Still, im sticking with Sony and my Z3, looking forward to my phone getting even more awesome with lollipop.
[Xperia Z3 General] dweebuk:
Well said.
[Xperia Z3 General] Farooq95:
People like you on XDA are rare.

And all I want is for Sony is to stop teasing us forever about the update and making false promises for the update in February. just like Rockstar did with their GTA 5 for PC.
[Xperia Z3 General] PlaiBOi:
I totally understand what you mean, but does it make your device a worse device than it was yesterday? Is it gonna make Sony release the update faster if people whine about it on this thread? Im gonna say no to both.

Im still loving my device, and im just gonna sit back and wait. The update will come sooner or later.
[Xperia Z3 General] SweDunda:
Hurrdurr buhuuU where is my https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-DuC0tE7V4 ?
[Xperia Z3 General] Farooq95:
What's with the 'worse' they had enough time to make it and I don't think it will be that much of a 'worse' in terms of daily usage. Only a few bugs here and there given that they had more than four months of work on it.
[Xperia Z3 General] PlaiBOi:
I don't think you understood me right, but no matter what, there is probably a reason they have not released it yet. Maybe they are not satisfied with it or maybe it is not stable enough. Do you want a rushed and unstable update, or a stable functioning update? I know what i want, and im okay waiting for it.
[Xperia Z3 General] warface:
Mine updated this morning.
[Xperia Z3 General] SweDunda:
Ok. (thought)Then we will get the Popillol next week ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
[Xperia Z3 General] Buddy Luh:
Honestly the longer Sony takes to update to Lollipop means we will probably see less problems when it finally does release.

I love my Z3, this thing is a badass little waterproof powerhouse with an awesome camera. I went from an iPhone 5S to the Z3

and honestly it is MUCH better. And wok is going to buy me an iPhone anyway so best of both worlds! lol
[Xperia Z3 General] Webern:
Not that I wish to encourage whining - i'm firmly in the "they're testing it, and they'll release it when they're happy supporting whatever it is they release" camp - but having said that you can see in the coverage of this release on line that the journalists are aware that this is one of - if not the - last major phone to receive lollipop, and that's possibly in part down to journalists become aware of people's impatience. So threads like this may possibly have a small positive outcome. Who knows; depends on who's writing about releases and what impact they have; hard to imagine sony losing much sleep about small circulation italian websites. If sony can't allocate more resources to development of new releases they should at least learn to "manage people's expectations" by not releasing dates (even at the month level) until they have a release date.
[Xperia Z3 General] lee480:
Sony is traditionally slow and there's always thread like this filled with kids whining and ranting and the net effect is still zero, fortunately.
[Xperia Z3 General] SweDunda:
Aaaaah traditions, them good old things...

[Xperia Z3 General] Webern:
Moto G has a gig of ram, but how many other devices with 1 gig are getting lollipop? Still, Google would like manufacturers to update to OS's released in the 18 months following release, so it's poor show on Sony's part if true.
[Xperia Z3 General] hellraizerN7:
Sony being traditionally slow, and Sony being todays Sony, is the reason they are laying off a thousand people every now and then, it is the reason why they have to sell buildings to post a profit, why the movie studio got hacked and humiliated, why the once tech giant will probably just become a playstation brand, why the Z line is so badly promoted and released in the US market...

Sonys traditions is what is killing Sony. I do not know if that is fortunate unless you are the CEO of Samsung/LG.
[Xperia Z3 General] lee480:
Are you so naive to believe that Sony is losing profit because of late updates? Unless you're a joker, for the record, Sony sold a record number of phones last quarter, proving the point that slow updates did not affect revenue. If you bother to at least look at Sony's profit and loss, you should know SMC's main loss was due to a goodwill impairment charge.
[Xperia Z3 General] kernald:
Do you really think that the slow updates are what's killing Sony? Man... People here on XDA waiting for Lollipop are a tiny fraction of the user base. Most of the customers don't even know what Lollipop is, and updates scare them...
[Xperia Z3 General] Webern:
Exactly. Most people are Windows users (although this is changing fast) and when they get a popup telling them there's an upgrade they say "Great, a ******** update. That's all I need right now".
[Xperia Z3 General] krugu:

[Xperia Z3 General] Webern:
I suspect when a thread exceeds 1000 posts it's unreasonable to expect posters to have read it all.
[Xperia Z3 General] user91:
Not at all. I've seen the previous (including yours) posts about it, yet, based on the source I mentioned it seems almost certain that 5.1 is already coming. I do not have much trust into rumour-creating websites such as Christiantoday and IBT, but that's just my subjective opinion :)
[Xperia Z3 General] cschmitt:
There's no doubt that 5.1 is on the way, and no doubt that a whole lot of other devices will get it before ours. Should probably have purchased a different device it day zero updates is a top priority. But that's not the reason I purchased a Z3.
[Xperia Z3 General] user91:
Exactly my words. Came from a Nexus to Z3 and don't regret it despite the late(r) update.
[Xperia Z3 General] XxSilent22xX:
But its march, i dont mind waiting but this is ridiculous.
[Xperia Z3 General] Cozmos23:
Sounds like a joke saying "I don't need the update" in the Android L Thread.

The fact u guys were watching in this Thread means u are probably interested in.

OK

Some ppl don't want the update. Thats fine. Nobody says u have to do the update. Stay @ 4.4.4 and be happy.

But there are not only Z3 users waiting for it. In other forums the flames are really bad about Sony.

The most reason I am disappointed about the delay is because getting an update done is about money.w

The companys could update deviceswithin 4 weeks easily.

Why they don't do it? Because its cheaper. The longer it takes the less money and focus they spent.

Another point is most devices get only an 2 year support for updates. When the updates take longer we will have an lower Android Version when the official support ends.
[Xperia Z3 General] cschmitt:
I don't need the update, who's saying that? We're all interested in it; some are upset about it, others are willing to wait patiently.

Oh, and I follow this thread because it gives me a chuckle.

[Xperia Z3 General] zombiej79:

[Xperia Z3 General] unmaskedfalesh:
Well when we don't get update we can say that we are happy with 4.4.4... Don't have a choice
[Xperia Z3 General] Bro0z3r:
I'm curious...

If Sony said "We're going to skip 5.0.X and going to bring you 5.1 (or 5.2), but we'll start rolling it on April 1st" would everyone in this thread stop whining and say "Hey, they're giving us the latest, least-bugged update, I can wait"?

And yes, everyone is waiting for an update but not everyone is crying like a little baby..
[Xperia Z3 General] ArcherLuke:
I think you should choose another day other than April 1st in your hypothesis...
[Xperia Z3 General] Bro0z3r:
Yeah.. You're right, but I chose it 'cause it's Wednesday.

Okay then, how about April 8th and 5.2? :)
[Xperia Z3 General] paysen:
I want it now. I need dem raw pictures..
[Xperia Z3 General] vittogn:
Unfortunately it's all but confirmed that Sony will implement API for raw, either at system level and in the camera app.

[Xperia Z3 General] gimbu:
New version which I have is 7. 0.a.0. 24
[Xperia Z3 General] markdexter:
All you guys complaining about an update. Will be the same guys making a thread about asking how to downgrade back to kitkat once the update arrives.

Lollipop is pretty much the worse version of Android I've used in 5 years.

I've used it on a nexus 6 and a moto x. My Sony is giving me no Issues right now. I am willing to wait till 5.4 even!!!
[Xperia Z3 General] paysen:
If there is no way to get raw photos out of this baby I am going to sell it. The sony camera app is crap IMO. Sensor has potential and thats why I wanted raw photos.
[Xperia Z3 General] kernald:
I really can't understand the use of a RAW file on a sensor of this size... RAW is not a magical file format which will make wonders with a small sensor. There's a reason for full-size sensors on high-end cameras...
[Xperia Z3 General] Bro0z3r:
So you are basically telling me (and everyone who's reading this topic) you are going to put every single photo you take through Photoshop? I don't believe it!!!
[Xperia Z3 General] paysen:
You can believe what you want, and I can edit the photos I want to. There is no need to take only raw photos, but I would use it really often.
[Xperia Z3 General] kernald:
Well seeing Photoshop's support for RAW files, using only Photoshop would be even a bigger limitation than the sensor size. I understand better why people "need RAWs". You just don't know what it is, right?
[Xperia Z3 General] Vic.:
You guys are missing the point here. The point is that other compression, noise reduction and sharpening algorithms can be implemented, while saving the image as a JPEG. At least that's how I see it.
[Xperia Z3 General] Webern:
If it's all but confirmed, why start the sentence with "unfortunately"?

---------- Post added at 13:29 ---------- Previous post was at 13:27 ----------

You don't know what you're talking about. Go and read up on what RAW files are, how they differ from regular files and what the advantages are.
[Xperia Z3 General] kernald:
Well, dealing with RAW files every other day, I'm pretty confident regarding my knowledge of this kind of files. Hence my remark about Photoshop.
[Xperia Z3 General] mains75:
Yes, I agree... sensor is very good, Sony post process not. Raw files by Z3 would be the answer. That's it!

If you are not agree, you are free to save jpeg files as you already do...
[Xperia Z3 General] Webern:
What's Photoshop got to do with anything? I've used RAW files for years; I'm not sure Photoshop even runs on the OS I've been using.

That's beside the point anyway, as is the years of experience you undoubtedly have. You're about to explain how a lossy format is better than a lossless one, I believe, for when you want to crop, zoom etc on multiple sessions. Or how having a burnt in white balance is better than being able to losslessly change it after the event. Or store images with a greater bit depth than provided by JPEG.
[Xperia Z3 General] kernald:
I mentioned Photoshop because Bro0z3r did. I never used Photoshop with RAW either, and that was my point... I never said JPEG is better than RAW. They are both totally different things, to achieve different goals. What I'm trying to say here is that even if we have access to RAW files with a sensors that small, we will still have crappy image once displayed on a screen larger than a tablet. That's only physical, the file format has nothing to do with this. And as everyone is waiting for RAW files here like this was a revolution, I can only think that most of people mentioning RAW support don't know what a RAW file is, and what you can achieve or not with it. I'll sure be happy to have access to RAW files from my phone. But I'm also pretty sure I will process close to none.

What the Camera2 API could provide if implemented by Sony and which could be usefull, is a greater manual control (exposure delay and such). And nobody has mentioned any hopes on that, only RAW files. I really don't understand you guys.
[Xperia Z3 General] lee480:
He clearly said all BUT confirmed.

Anyways, it's one person's opinion that stock Sony camera app isn't up to par. It's up to par for me, in fact, fantastic!
[Xperia Z3 General] Bro0z3r:
Just to make it clear.. I wrote Photoshop just because the average user (which would be 90% of the people whining about it) would use it.. Just once and when they see that they can't do anything, they would just go back to JPEG..

And to make one more thing clear, look up Photoshop CC! It comes with Adobe Camera RAW...

And if Sony implement the Camera2 API that would be much better than RAW IMO.. :o
[Xperia Z3 General] Webern:
I'm going to have to turn down your request to investigate photoshop, as I have no interest in it. I'm sure it's great though, and comes with a fantastic RAW conversion tool.

5.0??? The extremely buggy version of lollipop which basically made my nexus 7 unusable?

Great..
[Xperia Z3 General] Prasad:
I don't think it's 5.0 per se. If you check https://support.t-mobile.com/community/phones-tablets-devices/software-updates you'll find that "Android 5.0 "Lollipop" is the update stated for all phones, even though the HTC One received 5.0.2. It must be T-Mo's generic way of mentioning it.
[Xperia Z3 General] abhinav.tella:
Even if sometimes they don't update the minor revision number they do add fixes/patches to make it equivalent to the latest.

However in this case I think T-Mobile probably thought it was simpler to say 5.0 rather than mention each minor revision number...
