What makes you say that? It's not out yet. If you keep saying "out next week" then eventually you'll be right. And in the meantime you'll get a few visitors looking at your adverts.
[Xperia Z3 General] pchetan2:
That news came from sony indonesia with changelog as well. Might be legit and true. Also news on update in india by justaboutphones.com might be true after all. All these things cannot be a coincidence.
[Xperia Z3 General] King p1n:
Sony Indonesia...

See xperia blog
[Xperia Z3 General] Webern:
Any number of things can be a coincidence. It could come out in half an hour and it wouldn't prove any blogs were accurate. Indonesia now?! How many different divisions of sony are working on the update? All of them?
[Xperia Z3 General] caqo71:
I'm just writing in here to say that the most of the "anti complaint" people that don't are interested to have a lollipop update (don't know what are they soing in here). Most anticomplainig think that we (interested on lollipop upgrade) are arguing about not having lollipop when we want now. but if you read this thread back, you will notice that the problem started when SONY just missed their update frame about lollipop... then, this post became about arguing of why soooony didn't tell us that their about to delay update because they found last minute bugs. They tell nothing, so, this thread is just like this. Not for not having lollipop. actually is for why sooony don't advice that they are delayed to update lollipop.
[Xperia Z3 General] lee480:
They only mentioned two different timeframe, one is February and another, Q1. I don't will remember Sony stating "beginning of 2015".

That crap site must be lucky to guess it correctly. It's a no brainer. Any donkeys out there can predict that the update will be pushed in the coming weeks.
[Xperia Z3 General] King p1n:
Or maybe they just published correct information.....from legitimate source.

Just saying lol
[Xperia Z3 General] lee480:
Their legitimate source is a screenshot or photo of a self created information sheet? Why are all previous screenshot/photos inaccurate? And Sony's logo no longer uses "make believe" slogan. Yes, this time they are correct, but because they made an intelligence guess, props to them.
[Xperia Z3 General] El.Guaje:
Stay tune and check this page frequently.

Don't believe other sites.
[Xperia Z3 General] Webern:
"It seems we can’t find what you’re looking for. "

Sounds about right!
[Xperia Z3 General] King p1n:
Lol why do you hate the site so much.

I don't know why their previous articles are inaccurate, change in plans, inaccurate sources. Who knows there's a million and one reasons. They're not the only site in the world that's posted wrong information at times or multiple times, sheesh.

All I said is that they were correct this time??
[Xperia Z3 General] El.Guaje:
This is the full link

I think this is the only site that we can trust. As long as this site has a title "5.0 rolling out", we will know the update is rolling out. Other sites are not having any confirmations about the update.
[Xperia Z3 General] lee480:
And all I said that their guessing skills have improved.
[Xperia Z3 General] Webern:
Even a stopped clock gives the right time twice a day!
[Xperia Z3 General] itsjustJOH:
It's pretty obvious what they do. They hear rumors about an upcoming update and it's supposed status, then they create these authentic-looking fake photos/screenshots of supposed to be official timeline documents from Sony and watermark it with their own name and bait it to the vulnerable people of the internet for money. Seriously, don't feed these pathetic people with ad revenue (unless you have adblock on your browser).

Why isn't the official Sony site just saying "next week" rather than us having to fish around for a french language site quoting Sony Indonesia? I wonder if the latter were supposed to have released that information.
[Xperia Z3 General] vittogn:
Sad day yesterday!

We are officially one desert and 2 major releases behind!!

Lets hope the move from 5.0 to 5.1 will take less than 5ish months.

Unfortunately AOSPs ROMs are not a daily driver yet, don't get me wrong I fully support devs and donated to them.

I still love the Z3!
[Xperia Z3 General] Solpadein:
Damn Soony! Soon I am going to be paranoid. This delay has transformed many people to macros for pressing F5 key. Till what time it will continue? I am very disappointed sony's update speed their products (almost with every phone were delays).

Sony makes wonderful devices but their relationship to the customers is very-very poor. It's so sad...
[Xperia Z3 General] Luhccas-X10:
Sony will go to 5.0.2. (you can see in the videos of mwc)

Maybe I skipped something but... You had releasing L in a contract with Sony?!

Relax and enjoy your device...

When "you" receive new fw you'll find something else to complain about...

Sony is slow in releasing updates and new Android versions...that's not something we should be surprised with...

I'm using Xperias for a years, from U, to be precise and this was the case from then...

You should inform yourself better before you buy Xperia...

I agree, we have to look forward... But why don't you just relax and enjoy this fantastic device?

I just sold Note 4 and bought Z3 again...

Yes, Sammy released L but there's nothing in it for such a strong words...
[Xperia Z3 General] kuboweb:
Today i picked up my old Xperia Z with PA 4.6 installed on it and guess what. I really miss it. Lollipop just feels way too childish to me, it misses the old practical kitkat feel. Paranoid Android 4.6 is still the best rom and kitkat is the best android version so far (I have cm12 on z3)

For Z4
[Xperia Z3 General] kernald:
You know what we say about the shortest jokes? I think we all got it here, Sony is close to soon, it was kind of funny the first time...

And regarding the 5.1: all the Z serie is gonna get 5.x. How can you even think of Sony dropping the software support of its flagship six months after release?
[Xperia Z3 General] Webern:
The M2 isn't getting lollipop. (Sort of mid range flagship). That's not even close to a year old. There are no guarantees with android.
[Xperia Z3 General] kernald:
Mid range flagship. How nice. Sony's flagships are its Xperia Z series, and that's all of it...
[Xperia Z3 General] Arju:
The first xperia z is 2 years old and is also getting android lollipop, so I'm sure they won't drop the support of the later models after six months.
[Xperia Z3 General] Playdough96:
Has Sony said anything about the Camera2 API? I really hope they used it in the Lollipop build
[Xperia Z3 General] King p1n:
It's most definitely not fake...the person posted further screenshots.

This section has a horrible habit of labeling things fake because they don't have it.
[Xperia Z3 General] realfelix:

Check the screenshot. On the upper left there is an arrow to go back? Hmm I dont have that.
[Xperia Z3 General] Webern:

[Xperia Z3 General] radko93:
The Screenshot from Polish forum is a fake. Author admitted it about an hour ago (it was a joke).
[Xperia Z3 General] Buddy Luh:
Now Now children, we'll get Lollipops when we get them. It's probably not going to be worth the wait anyway.

Honestly I'm done paying top dollar for these "flagship" phones that are barely better than much cheaper phones

(OnePlusOne anybody? 64GB for $349)

I'm just saving my pennies to buy a One Plus One or Nexus 5 update (made by Huawei) and realizing that you don't

always need the "best" when nobody can agree on what the best is anyway. Save money, get something cheaper

and don't worry about it so much. After all it's just a phone.
[Xperia Z3 General] kernald:
As you said, the definition of the best phone is specific to each customer. Maybe the best phone for you is indeed a Nexus 5 or a One Plus One. For me it's not (and it's not the Z3 either, but its little Compact brother). As you said, nobody shares the same definition of a best phone. If you think your "best phone" is worth 500$, good for you. If you don't, don't buy it, it's that simple.

Anyway, I don't see how your post is related to Lollipop on the Z3.

Sony PlayStation put down Mobile completely

Last summer, Sony announced that the company was in the process of closing down the PlayStation Mobile for Android. Sony told that no future versions of the platform will be able to take advantage of the betting shop and that no more Android devices will be certified.

Now the PlayStation Mobile closed down altogether, even for the PS Vita. After September 10 this year, the PlayStation Mobile for Android will no longer go to download. The company urges users to install all the games they want to go, for after September 10 will no longer be possible.

"Please ENSURE That you havedownloaded all of the games That You Want To Keep. After September 10, 2015, you will not be Able to re-download your Quantity content."
[Xperia Z3 General] unmaskedfalesh:
Yeah heard the news...but hadn't use the app... Anyways its a sad news for PlayStation users...
[Xperia Z3 General] Buddy Luh:
Speaking of Playstation Mobile.... do you have to have a rooted phone to be able to use ePsxe emulator and roms?
[Xperia Z3 General] Akiainavas:
No. You can grab it from Play Store, works on non-rooted devices.
[Xperia Z3 General] abhinav.tella:
Just out of curiosity is there an official site where the source comes out before the actual update for Sony? For LG they used to release the source (for each sub model) on their site roughly one week before each update/release.
[Xperia Z3 General] unmaskedfalesh:
I don't think there is any for sony...as per my knowledge
[Xperia Z3 General] G-FACE:
On the Sony developers site you get them sources after the update, but not before.
[Xperia Z3 General] denialnw10:
I dunno if you guys caught this earlier today:

It has been caught since yesterday. All circulating news are based on facebook announcement from Sony Indonesia.
[Xperia Z3 General] corallus:

[Xperia Z3 General] Jiyeon90:
the looong wait is over, apps to sd card totally made the wait worth it though
[Xperia Z3 General] abhinav.tella:
No not AOSP, LG releases source for each build (as in the actual rom they use) one week before release. As in this: http://opensource.lge.com/osSch/list?types=ALL&search=ls980

Someone already pointed out Sony releases after deployment. Reason I asked was, that is how we could tell when new updates were coming with LG.

---------- Post added at 05:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:15 PM ----------

I think the reason they held that off earlier was because most people would buy really cheap cards with low speeds that would cause slowdowns in some of the bigger apps like games. Then they would blame the OS/phone.
[Xperia Z3 General] Prasad:
I'm moving on to the HTC M9, unless the Z3 lollipop update arrives before the M9 (highly doubt it) with improved audio quality and volume.
[Xperia Z3 General] Webern:
Er, alright. No, makes sense, that's why there was no move-to-sd card before. Or perhaps there was and this is why they stopped it. But it's coming back again now, so that's good. Let's hope people don't use slow cards in it or they might stop it again.

5.something is coming out soon though, I can feel it. I'm going to miss this thread. We must reconvene soon, perhaps for the 5.1 update. (Newsflash - just put it on my tablet; it's alreet, not worth 1,500 posts though).
[Xperia Z3 General] cem_jimmy:
M9 copy paste same lıke m7 8 9 and maybe 10 ıf u wrote s6 maybe ı can understand
[Xperia Z3 General] Prasad:
You didn't just say soon, did you? :P

Yeah well the thing is I'm an android user and I'm seriously agitated having the D6616, which cannot be rooted, the bootloader is not unlockable and the sound quality is horrible. when I bought it, I looked into xda and understood I could use CM but none of that can happen with this model. I bet an Apple would be more open than this piece of crap.
[Xperia Z3 General] lee480:
What's the relevance to this thread? Nobody cares, in fact.
[Xperia Z3 General] Akiainavas:
Sound quality horrible on the Z3 ? Really ? One of the best I have ever heard on a mobile device, especially with good Sony headset and Noise Cancelling.

On the topic - after so many leaks and both French and Indonesian divisions of Sony Mobile posting about it, I think we will finally get the update next week... hopefully this thread won't then become the nest of complaints about virtually everything you can think of... which we all know it will ;)
[Xperia Z3 General] G-FACE:
Same site but different place: http://developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/all-downloads/

Here are the sources for each fw.
[Xperia Z3 General] Jiyeon90:
Maybe sound of quality is bad coz you have ****ty headphones, buy good headphones and the sound quality will be superb
[Xperia Z3 General] Prasad:
I'm using Bose MIE2. They're phenomenal earphones. Sound quality on the HTC was superb. I was hoping to install CM12 and some hacks to improve audio output and volume, but I can't when I don't even have an unlockable bootloader. On the HTC, it's just brilliant right out of the box, and even it it weren't, I could go custom ROM effortlessly.

But let's keep this thread OT now, sorry for the deviation.
[Xperia Z3 General] Maikel S:
Sony just published Software Binaries for AOSP Lollipop 5.1 :eek:

http://developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/tool/software-binaries-for-aosp-lollipop-android-5-1/
[Xperia Z3 General] xerxess:
Its mean your earphone not synergy with z3 not mean sound of z3 is horrible..

Each source music not always can match or synergy with every earphone or headphone which mean that case didnt always make that source is horrible..

And then xperia z3 have limit output power that make z3 cant powerfull drive a headphone or earphone while they have high impedence..

I had already try pair z3 with Ultimate ears tf10 and ultimate ears 900

Sound is superb its enough to temporary replace my player music AK100
[Xperia Z3 General] Akiainavas:
This.

Also, the HTC comes with Beats audio which is in my opinion - the worst you can possibly get in terms of audio quality.
[Xperia Z3 General] Prasad:
You guys should start a new thread to convince me. In all honesty, I don't want to trade in this phone :D All I want is great sound and higher volume. So far, there's the tiniest glimpse of hope that things will improve in the audio department with the lollipop upgrade.

Also, Beats Audio is flawless with my Bose earphones, albeit I respect your opinion.
[Xperia Z3 General] unmaskedfalesh:
Now we might get 5.1 directly...
[Xperia Z3 General] G-FACE:
Oh yeah, next week we will get 5.1.

Sony have insiders in Google and had the source for 5.1 moths ago, so now they are releasing 5.1 directly ;)
[Xperia Z3 General] Maikel S:
I doubt it. I think it means they started working with 5.1 source
[Xperia Z3 General] cem_jimmy:
Than means update wıll release july :D
[Xperia Z3 General] realfelix:
That's probably what they mean by saying " if everything goes well ". Now that 5.1 is released they have another point to delay it. :D
[Xperia Z3 General] shtepsel:
Ooohh, so Sony were waiting Google to release 5.1 officially. Now I get it! :D
[Xperia Z3 General] freddy1991:
For those wondering whether it will be 5.0.2 or 5.1, here is what I found on Sony Mobile France Twiiter page

[Xperia Z3 General] tr0teK:
How come that people already have the update while others still wait.
[Xperia Z3 General] Webern:
I think Google might have called it 5.1 instead of 5.0.3 so that really inefficient companies like Sony didn't go "oh, might as well roll this into the source... send Sony Brazil an email..tell them to leak some info that it might be august...no, not in English - that's just what they'll be expecting!"

Well, 5.1 is not just bugfixes like 5.0.1 and 5.0.2.

5.1 has some new features like Multiple SIM card support, HD Voice, Device Protection aaand some other small changes.
[Xperia Z3 General] abhinav.tella:
I'm guessing source to final release for 5.1 will be faster this time as I have not heard any OEMs complaining about issues yet....
[Xperia Z3 General] Webern:
Yeah, you're right. The Device Protection sounds interesting.
[Xperia Z3 General] Bäcker:
nicely trolled :D
[Xperia Z3 General] cem_jimmy:
Trollllllll
[Xperia Z3 General] xerxess:
Its very good if your earphone match very well with beats audio..

Because audio is about something you feel and enjoy, everybody can have different feel..
[Xperia Z3 General] shtepsel:
So If we are getting 5.0.2, I assume we will get 5.1 as a Christmas gift :D :D :D
[Xperia Z3 General] cem_jimmy:

So Vaio is releasing it's own phone to compete against the Z3/other phones.

What do you guys think? I see it has LOLLIPOP on it already!... *grumbles*
[Xperia Z3 General] abhinav.tella:
It's more of a lower mid range model, I don't think it will eat much into Sony's sales, definitely not at the high end flagship level where the Z3 is at. Maybe with future models but not with that. Plus I think it's carrier limited.
[Xperia Z3 General] requiem2es:
At least they have published the binaries for Android 5.1 AOSP already:

http://developer.sonymobile.com/kno...e/open-devices/list-of-devices-and-resources/

Hope it doesn't take that much to get Android 5.1 as this is not so big jump from Android 5.0 like it was from Android 4.4.4.
[Xperia Z3 General] vittogn:
For 5.0 the guy published sources back in November!

It has nothing to do with stock roms.

Inviato dal mio D6603 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Xperia Z3 General] requiem2es:
I know, what i mean is that when upgrading a 4.4.4 to 5.0 requires all the brands to redesign their interfaces (from KikKat to Lollipop style).

In this case, in theory, it should be easier as all the Sony proprietary applications are already in Lollipop style (with the 5.0.2 upgrade) so they can focus only in integrating the Android 5.1 internal changes (kernel, ART upgrading, graphic interface improvements, etc).

So we will get Android 5.0 then according to Sony, including all the bugs.. nice!

I guess they had to lock on to a specific version to get anything out in reasonable time. I just hope they roll out an update ASAP based on a bugfixed version of Android (due february I think).

I'm kinda new to the Android game, anyone know if this usually happes, and how frequently?
