Sony is not well organized
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] :
Sorry I think they are. It's better waiting some days longer and have a stable Version.... Mostly The other phones with the Update have bugs.... Thats what I called not well organized....
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] rob rich:
I thought the same some time back when i had a xperia V and the 4.3 update came out. It was certified and Sony kept us waiting and waiting for weeks. I told everyone the keep calm, its better to wait and have a good and stable update. And after many weeks the update came and it was full of bugs (for example the phone turned off when it was fully charged). So waiting for Sony does not mean to get a good update :D

But i haven't heard something bad from z3 owners who updated, so i think Sony did a good job this time :)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] aakash43:
Sony is going to release the same version no matter how long you wait with same bugs as in z3 (Though all of them are easily avoidable by flashing patch) history of sony speaks itself.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] balanced_emotions:
THe Baltic Market Z2's Lolipop Firmware is out for two weeks. They should have been published it this week.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Rekoil:
What bugs are you talking about and what patch?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] :
I never had bugs after Sony Updates.... I was talking about Bugs on Samsung or Nexus phones with 5.0 which get a second update for bugfixing... Not about Bugs on the z3.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] aakash43:
I read it on xda z3 forum that walkman has bugs like you can't search music on it.

Oh i think you forgot about annoying camera bug, camera not available or hangs while taking photos.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Sichroteph:
Guys I have not the z1c and the z3c and I can say the update on the z3c is amazing... Everything is snappier and (for me) beautiful and intuitive. Sony did a perfect job here, I can't go back to kk now. Only problem for now is that we lack a custom firmware to install recovery. (no xposed modules for now)

The battery is the same for a majority of users (no improvements, no draining)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] profyler:
thanks for telling us. I except the same on our z1 =)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] LukeHorizon:
Getting me stoked on the Update ... hope it's almost bugfree so the waiting was worth it .... but Sony Materiual UI is looking wonderful, saw it on a friends Z3 today, pretty decent
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Sichroteph:
So some few words to help you wait (or not hehe)

The z3c community was pretty amazed by the lack of bugs of the 5.0.1

Of course there are always ppl complaining about little things (most of them were inherent to the lollipop update itself, like the sound profile that moved from the power button to the volume buttons)

What I like is that apps launch really fast. I love the apps cards selection menu too. The dialer is finally searching into names in t9! A lot of little details in ui animation too that makes for the whole experience like this is the first real achieved android version.

Don't get me wrong here, kk is very efficient and you can do very little more with this sony lollipop update. (except maybe the smart unlock and the battery management that I really like)

But everything looks for the first time to me consistent. The material design makes wonder here.

No doubt that you will feel like having a completely different phone.

The only drawback is that I miss xprivacy. Well have to wait for a custom firmware for the z1c too.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] AK2H:
I can't wait until the update is out.

The Great Z1 Compact will become even Greater! :cool:

If I Helped, Leave A Thanks!
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] korenisko:
Lg f60 - low-midend allready is on 5.0. But no problem, kk is fine till some weeks :D
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Raz0Rfail:
Are there some informations about Sony Devices which running Android 5.1 ?

I wonder if we get Android 5.1 for the Z1c.

But I'm hope if we would get it :)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] aakash43:
Wait for some time and memory leak will show what it can do.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] rob rich:
There is an xposed Modul for one of these memory leaks...maybe some others will follow :)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Sichroteph:
---deleted---
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] _katho_:
I've been running LP on my Z3C since 16th of March, do I need to wait much longer? :confused::eek::cool:

It runs flawless!
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Sichroteph:
Me too. Maybe sony fixed it.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] aakash43:
Ha ha don't you find some apps which are running in background restarts, not resumes when selected in recent apps. I think you restart phone every day.

Don't restart your phone it will become slow eventually.:cyclops:
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] profyler:
this memory leak doesnt play a big role for me...

and it wasnt correct on 5.1 too

O another news we'll get 5.1 guyz, dont worry.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] _katho_:
I don't, but honestly you're allowed to think what you want. Hope your current LP runs well too.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] aakash43:
I hope but i don't have z3, i own z1c but my friend has it. He always keep complaining me about lp, and even i feel multitasking better in kk.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] rob rich:
Seems like 5.1 has been certified for z3 and z3 compact :)

http://www.xperiablog.net/2015/04/0...en-certified-for-the-xperia-z3-and-z3-compact
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Sichroteph:
Actually the writer asks the question.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] rob rich:
Actually there is a big jump in Version number
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Rekoil:
I agree, it's likely, but it's still only speculation.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] charos:
xperiablog posted this few hours ago. I guess it will arrive in a few days?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] ahmetgox:
4k?

will sony give 4k and timeshift video with lollipop?do you guys have any idea?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] AK2H:
I think they will.

That's why it's taken them so long :confused:

If I Helped, Leave A Thanks!
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] balanced_emotions:
Yea that would be great but I don't think the new FW will come with 4K video recording.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] profyler:
LOL there wont be 4k nor t. shift
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] rob rich:
Agree
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] AlienTechGR:
I hope we'll get at least ultra-stamina :p But I don't see why we can't get 4K and TimeShift since our Z1C is capable enough for handling these features.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] patoberli:
Those features were marketed and sold only for the newer models, so I don't expect them to include it in the older models.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] gregy74:
And why you need 4k video on your mobile??? HD not good enough? I just don't understand people. You have 4k TV at home? 4k means 4 times bigger video size. :D
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] AlienTechGR:
That's true but TimeShift would be nice.I agree,however,that we don't need 4K.I just hope to get Lollipop update in this week...
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kajojwielki:
Hi

I have installed on my G900F XtreStoLite INTL 1.3.6 (ultra clan install) and sometimes I don't have sound in apps and media but after a while (couple hours... may be a day), everything goes back to normal.

No plugs, no headphones, STOCK Kernel, no weird apps... i think.

Any ideas why this is happening?

It's my first post... so sorry for any mistakes. :)

Edit: And now... all sound are gone. :/
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kajojwielki:
And sounds are back.... I don't know how and why.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poldie:
I've noticed, when I install twitter/facebook that the Z3 seems to get excited and mention some sony app or other. And there's a weather app which just updated itself but I've not used or bothered to look for. I've gone around and uninstalled all the pre-installed apps which can actually be uninstalled (some can't) but I'm not sure what these ones are.

Does anyone know what I'm talking about, and can add anything here? Is there a definitive guide to all of Sony's added software, what's good/bad, what can be stopped/disabled etc without harm?
[HTC Sensation XL] profcb:
Hi guys, I'm just wondering will someone be able to create the new android 5.0 for this phone?

Does it have the propriate hardware requirements?
[HTC Sensation XL] Alvin972:
I asked the same question and the only answer I have found is on Google , is a fake website , with a fake rom.... :(
[HTC Sensation XL] reza.mmm88:
I need this rom,too.any one can port this rom for sxl???
[HTC Sensation XL] zener05:
Yes! It would be really great port Lollipop (or CM 12) to Sensation XL :good:
[HTC Sensation XL] nirmalviper:
waiting

i think lollipop is out for htc Sensation (unofficial cm12)

so our mobile can also get it..

requesting all developer of precious SXL please make us happy...:D
[HTC Sensation XL] Brolly916:
i would love a lolipop rom for my sensation xl
[HTC Sensation XL] noctiz:

[Nexus 6  General] Jack$on:
I just listened to Android Police podcast and they stated a rumor of the Nexus 6 coming to Verizon next year.

I know is just a rumor but I sure hope its not true and do not see how Verizon would be willing to lose all those potential sales.

What is your thoughts on this. I am willing to wait another month for the Nexus 6 but I cannot wait until next year.

Cheers!
[Nexus 6  General] neyenlives:
No way
[Nexus 6  General] Stigga:
Ouch
[Nexus 6  General] neyenlives:
If next year means January 2015, I'll wait. No problem there.
[Nexus 6  General] Sentrix27:
Verizon was the only carrier to not have an announcement or landing page of some sort. It's possible.
[Nexus 6  General] shawnten:
they need the extra time to make sure it is locked down for good.
[Nexus 6  General] Jack$on:
Ugh... Hoping for some words of encouragement... Lol. Well at least I can hope that they'll let us know when pre order goes up on the 29th.

If they do not release until January then it might be worth it for me to jump ship from red to blue. ?
[Nexus 6  General] Schoat333:
Typical VZW. They held up their Galaxy Nexus for a few months too. Hopefully this doesn't effect updates now that its one device for all networks.
[Nexus 6  General] RW-1:
VZ is listed on the N6 google page, it has the bands, VZ is just being VZ.

Since the phone is one model for USA and one for worldwide, the general consensus right now is it will be unlocked, even on VZ, may have been a terms of agreement to get it.

But we'll have to see.

as to one month versus next year, I could wait, my GNex is running fine on KK, if I can wait three years to get to this point, another 6 months is not a far stretch.
[Nexus 6  General] Jack$on:
Maybe buy on Google Play... Than use on Verizon with a little hacking? H'm
[Nexus 6  General] datajosh:
I'm pretty sure they clarified it was a joke in reference to Verizon's handling of the Galaxy Nexus somewhere on the website, I think I saw it in one of the comment sections.
[Nexus 6  General] Jack$on:
That's some good news. I know we'll all have to wait to see.... But this information helps me feel ok about waiting.

Honestly my biggest worries was that they had a source or a potential source with information that we did not have
[Nexus 6  General] neyenlives:
Look at it this way.... The longer you wait the closer we get to an announcement of a device running a 64bit 810 Qualcomm kit. If VZW does delay things long enough to see that come around I'll wait.
[Nexus 6  General] Jfree3000:
After the last Verizon/Nexus disaster, I'm really surprised is coming to big red.
[Nexus 6  General] ShapesBlue:
Same here, I seriously can't wait for the nexus 6, and if everyone is concerned buying it directly from Google play would solve the issued with it being unlocked. Just my 2 cents

From my CM11 S3
[Nexus 6  General] leyvatron:
I thought it was one phone for US that had all bands to work on any carrier.
[Nexus 6  General] ShapesBlue:
For the new nexus yes. For most all other phones no, sadly verizon is still stuck cmda

From my CM11 S3
[Nexus 6  General] RoscoeDpG:
i think they are waiting to do a big announcement for the new moto line that is why they have been quiet up to now
[Nexus 6  General] ShapesBlue:
Hopefully that's the case. I seriously can't wait to get my own Nexus device

From my CM11 S3
[Nexus 6  General] kidruk:
Called Verizon today just for kicks to see if I got a rep that had any idea of the nexus 6 at least..

They literally had no idea what I was talking about......

They came back to me after putting me on hold in complete excitement after being introduced to the device lmaooooo. I got a really good kick out of that this morning.
[Nexus 6  General] jbdan:
delete sorry!
[Nexus 6  General] ShapesBlue:
FYI for those who were wondering. Ordering goes up on that date, it does indeed show a cmda band on the link

Nexus 6 pre-ordering starts October 29 on Google Play

http://www.talkandroid.com/223784-nexus-6-pre-ordering-starts-october-29-on-google-play/

From my CM11 S3
[Nexus 6  General] 640k:
personally i think both gen Moto X has proved otherwise. Moto X 2013 has received VERY timely updates and even had a developer option. Its too bad it wasn't a more popular phone (stupid exclusivity deals).

in addition, the 6 is a Moto phone. VZW has lots of experience with Moto devices and Moto devices with Android and unlocked Moto devices. I think the n6 is going to prove to everyone that VZW CAN handle a Nexus device. it just chooses not to.
[Nexus 6  General] RoscoeDpG:
ya its good sign that we should be able to get from google play or moto site and just activate with vzw, prob just quiet till they make their moto announcements for new devices ....just gotta hope it comes out before everyone else lol not be on weeks of back orders
[Nexus 6  General] neyenlives:
What the heck are they waiting for? Announce it already!
[Nexus 6  General] Schoat333:
They won't. VZW does not give Nexus phones any press. This phone will be in the corner of your VZW store right next to the flip phones.
[Nexus 6  General] GTvert90:
I doubt we'll get much if any info before the turbo is announced / launches
[Nexus 6  General] 640k:
vzw is def on the DROID schlong. DROID hasn't meant much to me since the OG DROID. Since then they've all just been using the name.
[Nexus 6  General] plainbum:
Is the battery removable?

I can easily chew trough two batteries on my Note 2 in a day.
[Nexus 6  General] 640k:
i think it's safe to assume that it is not.

motoX.1 - No

motoX.2 - No

N6 = really big motoX.2
[Nexus 6  General] Schoat333:
It is not removable.

The Gnex was the last Nexus with a removable battery, I think.
[Nexus 6  General] plainbum:
There have been a few times I could not get my phone to respond and it would not reboot using its buttons, so I had to pull the battery. I don't feel safe having a phone that the battery can't be pulled in order to do a "all else fails " pull the battery to reboot. Any advice here?
[Nexus 6  General] GTvert90:
There's a button combo that you hold for so long to do a "battery pull"
[Nexus 6  General] Schoat333:
On non removable battery phones, you hold the power button and volume down until the phone reboots. It has never failed me on the Nexus 5.
[Nexus 6  General] 640k:
for that matter it has never failed on the MotoX either. i know people with the old RAZRs that were one of the first Android phones to have a non-removable battery. I don't think a single one of them complained about having to use the button combo.
[Nexus 6  General] Hand76:
So I'm coming from AT&T and want to go back to Verizon.

I don't feel like waiting to buy the phone subsidized. But if I buy on the 29th and get the phone, unlock/root it, and walk into a Verizon store in Nov will I have any problem activating the phone with them? Or we do not know this yet?
[Nexus 6  General] datajosh:
I don't expect it will be too much of an issue. With every phone I owned up until the Note 3, I had extra batteries for them. Since I got the Note 3, I haven't needed it and I expect the same will be true of the Nexus 6.
[Nexus 6  General] neyenlives:
Same here. Ever since the Note 3 I haven't had a need to swap batteries at all. Considering the N6 should be on par and also the fact that the N6 boasts a 6 hour run time in a quick 15 minute charge...... Hell, if I plug my phone in during lunch or for an hour while working.... I'll never have to worry about battery. Especially with a Qi charge mat.... Every time I set it down it can charge, then plug in for a quick boost if needed.

Some people could probably learn not to have their phone glued to their face too. Most people could actually.
[Nexus 6  General] RoscoeDpG:
i dont think we officially know this yet but with only one version of this phone in USA being released should not be a problem i would hope. I think the Moto event for verizon is next tuesday so im sure they will say something to solve our questions because im hoping to order on moto site and just activate it
[Nexus 6  General] neyenlives:
I signed up for future info on the N6 on the Motorola site, in the event Motorola makes a VZW N6 announcement before VZW actually does. Which I think is likely.
[Nexus 6  General] MongarEric:
When I first got a Nexus 7 LTE, it worked with Verizon, but only their LTE bands. Part of the deal when Verizon bought spectrum for their LTE was they couldn't block devices. After a few months, the Nexus 7 LTE was updated to work on all Verizon bands. The Nexus 7 LTE is slower to get updates compared to the WiFi only version, but these are updates coming straight from Google. I'm not sure if carriers cause these delays. I bought my Nexus 7 straight from the Google Play Store and just popped in my Verizon SIM. It's unlocked, rooted, etc. Gives me hope the Nexus 6 works the same.
[Nexus 6  General] ECrispy:
It doesn't have a 6 hour addition with a 15min quick charge. It'll add a few hours if you use the quick charger when the battery is almost gone, if e.g. you use it at 50% charge it won't do as much.
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
The phone has all the bands for all the carrriers. Buying it from play store and taking it to Verizon should not be an issue.
[Nexus 6  General] neyenlives:
Where do you get your insider info?
[Nexus 6  General] ShapesBlue:
Here it says that info, maybe they meant does instead of doesn't

http://www.google.com/nexus/6/

From my CM11 S3
[Nexus 6  General] neyenlives:
Yep. I understand what you're saying. The thing is for regular charging the phone will sit on a Qi Wireless charger. The only time I would need a quick charge is when nearly depleted which is how they designed it.... all good.
[Nexus 6  General] tsy87:
This would be true if there was no need for CDMA, however, that is not the case. With CDMA, VZW has to allow the device to access their network via the IMEI code. So even if the device has the same exact hardware as the other carrier phones, they still have a way to lock out non vzw specific devices.

I'm hopeful that I am wrong, but knowing how verizon is, they will probably have their own specific allotment of approved nexus 6's that will be able to access and be activated on their network.
[Nexus 6  General] ECrispy:
Play Store is so far showing that you can buy a Verizon Nexus 6 from Google directly. This means there has to be some way to activate it on Verizon, whether it'll do it automatically or by calling them (as in the case of Sprint and N5). There's no way Google would sell a phone for a carrier that you can't use. In fact it'll be impossible for Verizon to tell which phone you buy, since its the same model for everyone, and thus they can't refuse to activate it.
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
They need to add the imei to their system just like metro does when you bring your own phone. It's one SKU for north America and another one for the rest of the world. If Verizon is going to block it, Google would not have partnered with them. There are tons of Verizon stores so how would people know exactly where you bought the phone or if it was direct from Google?

We will find out next week exactly if it asks you to select a carrier at check out or choose unlocked.
[Nexus 6  General] tshelby73:
Just wish it was a little cheaper add I have unlimited and they closed all the upgrade loopholes so in stick paying full price. Would be nice if they reissued the nexus 5 for Verizon I could afford that.
[Nexus 6  General] GTvert90:
It wouldn't be impossible for Verizon to whitelist the imei of phones sold by Verizon and their authorized retailers.
[Nexus 6  General] 640k:
I don't understand this comment. As long as the bands work on VZW, doesn't swapping sims basically take care of everything? I know that in the past, VZW had to have the device in their system, which means they have some sort of SN/Model/IMEI DB of acceptable devices that will work on their network. If this is still the case, and Google has already worked with VZW, swapping your SIM is all that you have to do.
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
Yea you should be able to pop in a nano SIM that they provision for your account and it should be good to go.
[Nexus 6  General] 640k:
a little more research leads me to believe VZW keeps an IMEI block and authenticates against that. the IMEI comprises of information on the origin, model, and serial number of the device. That means VZW is keeping a bank of IMEIs based on those conditions.

where you buy the phone from won't be a problem.
[Nexus 6  General] tsy87:
You can also buy moto phones direct from motorola. What I'm saying is, it is entirely possible that VZW pulls some kinda crap where they are still requiring certain IMEI be authorized before you activate on their network. Although the phones are all identical in hardware, VZW could restrict which IMEI's are allowed on their network. Also, just because there is a place holder on the google play webstore does not mean they are all sold out of one "pot" take the iPhone for example... Come on guys, it's Verizon we're talking about, they have done dumber things.

"If Verizon is going to block it, Google would not have partnered with them..." I'd like to think you and everyone else saying this is right. It make sense to me... but Verizon is NOTORIOUS for doing things that defy all logic. Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't the current Gen iPhones all the same exact hardware yet as far as I know, you can't run a T-mobile or ATT IP6 on VZW?

I honestly hope I'm wrong, but the reality is, given VZW's track record I have very little faith.
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
Looks like you can use any iPhone 6 on any carrier as long as you place that carriers SIM in first.

https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6545526

---------- Post added at 11:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:38 AM ----------

Also I don't know if you can buy an unlocked iPhone from Apple. When you buy from them you need to select your carrier. But if you select no contract you just need to insert whatever current SIM card you have in the phone.
[Nexus 6  General] ECrispy:
iPhone has always been a special case with carriers allowing Apple special freedoms they don't give to anyone else.

I just wish Verizon would officially announce this phone and Google would clarify what will work where.
[Nexus 6  General] 640k:
personal opinion here, but the likelihood of VZW making an announcement about the N6 is probably nil considering its investment in promoting other revenue generating devices. information on the ol' net seems scarce (or i'm searching for the wrong keywords).
[Nexus 6  General] halon17:
Nope, because Droid Turbo.
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
They have the turbo coming out soon. So they won't announce anything. We will find out on the 29th if Verizon is a selection choice for the preorder when you check out. I'm pretty certain we have nothing to worry about.
