this thread needs a poll, my guess is April

sony and software updates just don't get along :)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] gavinluisdmello:
You can get the time shift extension for the camera. Its pretty good
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] kk47042:
I've been waiting for so long that I slowly started getting tired of hoping, but hope dies last, so maybe it will be this week. :)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] profyler:
actually, acording to sony tweets, this would be Z2 week, and Z1 would be next week. Of course they can change this (again)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] kk47042:
They changed it so many times I won't believe anything until the moment I get the lollipop on my phone :D
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] aakash43:
IMO there is no chances of getting update this month, because Even z3 update is not released in many countries(Asian), in z2 i think only 2 region. So forget it. I don't know what is sony doing. Even worst than sony ericsson times.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Rekoil:

You're right, there's no worldwide release for Z3C yet, but I highly doubt there's going to be a worldwide release for Z3C prior to a release for the Z1C, they've never done it that way before, why would they start now? I think we'll see a release in the nordics next week or the week after that. Obviously you'll be able to install that on your phone too.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] aakash43:
Ya i know but some people in z3 forum is complaining about network strength after flashing nordic or other versions.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Rekoil:
Placebo effect, all D5503s run the same modem firmware. I'm not sure, but I don't think there's any region-specific modem tweaking going on with Sony devices, I've never had troubles with network connectivity while roaming with Sony devices.

If anything perhaps the new modem firmware has connectivity problems overall?

nice ty for good news
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] zlata:
I wont update if it cant be rooted.anyone got info?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] xangoch:
likewise. but is i see that ;despite being a little complicated;it possible to root xperia z3 lp
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] balanced_emotions:
Without rooting, what good is android?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] aakash43:
Hi friends i want to ask a question as xreality engine is not working in lollipop, before z1 compact , xperia neo v is my phone which has bravia engine. On neo v i feel that it has no effect on display. On z1 compact they renamed it xreality but i don't feel any difference here to. Is it for just marketing or i'm blind.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] ahmetgox:
it's exactly a marketing fake i don't notice any difference when i on and off it
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] HooLIMAN87:
I had xperia S before z1c and bravia engine was working very good, but on this phone it doesn't work at all.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] aakash43:
Then why is there so many complaint about xreality not working in z2 and z3 forum after lollipop update. May be it doesn't work only on z1. But i know sony and samsung tv also has these picture engines but neither of them makes any difference also.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] aigaming:
It is not fake ffs,i'ts easy to see difference;)

Turn it on and take screenshoot of one pic,then another screenshoot of the screenshooted pic etc and you will see that pic is more and more getting bluish,my pic's look better with engine on,that's why many my friends complain when i transfer them on pc :)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] marsx1984:
It works fine on the Z1c . If you look closelly you can see when the filter is applied on the photo you are viewing while swipeing through the xperia album app(it has ~1 second delay or less from the time the picture comes on the screen and the time the filter is applied). From what I remember these bravia or xreality engines work only in the Sony album app and the Sony movies app.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] aakash43:
Oh thanx friend now i can see the difference. In my case black becomes more darker and white more brighter when xreality is switched on.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Henrald:
OTA

Shout if you get an OTA Lollipop update, with your carrier and country.

I'm checking my phone manually for system updates daily, and I also used the Sony Windows desktop app to check via that. Anyone know if that way will bypass your carrier, btw, and skip the waiting list?

I'm on T-mobile in the UK.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] aakash43:
Don't waste your energy update is on next week.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] penicks:
honestly is there any reason to go for this update other than to have a few small aesthetic changes in the UI

KK+Nova Launcher+Xposed is still a winning combo, who would want anything else
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] aakash43:
So don't. If lollipop means only ui change to you then do your homework and use google search.

For me dalvik to art is enough to switch.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Henrald:
Thanks, I won't now! What exactly happens next week... will all carriers release it OTA, or is it just made available to them then?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] deboopi2:
For me the switch to ART is more than enough to upgrade to lollipop.

There is a tool to switch art on on an xperia 4.4.4. At that time I had to turn all xposed modules off.

But the remaining apps were faster, not only measured in milliseconds but visible with the naked eye.

So if everything works on 5.02 I will definitively make the switch when it is unlockable.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] vyaskd:
Lol

---------- Post added at 09:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:10 PM ----------

True. Me using lollipop on moto g. Available ram is more than kk.

Btw plz tell the tool name to activate art on z1c
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] deboopi2:
Look here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2713622.

I disabled xposed modules before flashing, do not know what will happen if you forget this.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] DomusX10:
I'm intersted to upgrade my Z1C to lollipop, so for those who receive it first, please posted here the feelings, impressions, and if it actually runs better than KitKat.

I'm italian, I don't know WHEN I receive "lollipop" update notification...because market are indipendent...so, wait for it next week...I noticed (look at Z3 lollipop screenshots) some error on italian traslate about "free memory" that has been translated into "gratis memory" :eek: :p

And, I hope Sony think about lollipop 5.1 update soon, because seems that 5.1 fix a lot of bug of 5.0 version...so :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] BlackArtsInc:
Is there any chance we'll get 5.1? If my experience with Sony is an indication,I'd say none. I'm using Sony phones since I don't even remember when and Android since 1.6...

Not sent by me!
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] profyler:
im pretty shure that we'll get 5.1, but i dont expect nothing else after that.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] aakash43:
I didn't knew about it. But now it doesn't matter.:D:D:D

---------- Post added at 12:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:08 AM ----------

I don't think all carriers will release the update at the same time like Z3 they will take more time. But i think you can flash ftf of other region also.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Henrald:
If I flash a foreign one, will it still get updates? I'm used to running my own ROMs, but I've been happy with Sony's stock ROM with root so far.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] vyaskd:
Yes you will get update. But maybe after rooting your device, you wont.

---------- Post added at 07:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:32 PM ----------

Any news about update tomorrow? Its almost mid april.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] :
Do I have to root again if I update my phone? I've read in the z3c forum that some people don't have to root it again.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] vyaskd:
Yes. You have to root it again if you flash with Flashtool
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] kk47042:
let's go lollipop!! :) if it will be timed the same as z3 and z2, we can expect it in a few hours :)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] inboxofcc:
Hope the flashable ftf will appear soon :)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] kattzenfleisch:
Yea hopefully, cant wait :D
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] jackierobinson:
Are they rolling the updates out of OTA any quicker? Or are we going to have to flash nordic if we want it this week rather than 2-3 weeks time?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Sichroteph:
Depends on your country / operator. In my experience I never wait for OTA, too long and in some operators never comes.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] :
Hopefully, but I think on Wednesday. The Nordic version first.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] jackierobinson:
Unbranded all the way. I doubt I'll wait for OTA either.

Why do you think Wednesday?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Sichroteph:
I hope that the z1c devs will learn from the z3c ones. That way it will be quick to create custom rooted roms that accept a recovery and xposed without bootloops
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] :
It's the middle of the month and the middle of the week. Don't know for sure just a feeling [emoji6]
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] kk47042:
it has started!!

edit: not sure why the picture isn't showing :/ but it's from xperifirm.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] korenisko:
Malaysia is out... :eek: :) Hope it will rollout quickly
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] ponchofiesta:
I hoped it will start in scandinavia again. I'm not sure if malaysia has my language included.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] diamonds aren't forever:
Any one has got the changelog? Double tap to wake will be included in the update? Thanks!!
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] BlackArtsInc:
As long as your bootloader is locked, you'll get the OTA update normally.

Not sent by me!
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] xander59:
In Hong Kong too, now :)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] rob rich:
Hongkong is also out...it really has begun :)

Btw. can we flash one of those customized fw's to a device without branding and from an other Region?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] xelon2008:
Israel too. Please, please Germany now :x :D
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] ponchofiesta:
I thought about flashing Israel ROM. GSM and UMTS frequencies match and if our language is included, it should be no problem. Only difference could be some preinstalled apps.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] rob rich:
I'm also downloading Israel atm :D
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] kokkss:
Do not forget to report back after flash.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] ponchofiesta:
I'll give it a try. Backing up first.... :)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] DomusX10:
Yes please, for who can update tell we how works....for now, Italy no update notification :rolleyes:
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] diamonds aren't forever:
Come on... italy!!! Do you check for update with pc companion or directly in the phone update center?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] rob rich:
With a Software called XperiFirm

---------- Post added at 10:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:41 AM ----------

Why are Sony FW's so big? 1.25 GB :D

do they give 4k video?any bugs seen?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] sokimeez:
I want to try flash IL version, but how to flash those files? flashtool wants only one file?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] rob rich:
In flashtool, click on tools and then SEUS decrypt, or if xperifirm has automatically unpacked the 4 files you have to click on tools and then bundle creation
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Laeery:
might help

on xperiablog . net there is a guide to install lollipop updates via xperifirm (Download) and flashing these files via flashtool

But I installed flashtools so i could install 5.0 on my z1c.

But as soon as i start flashtools i get a popup saying that i need to move contant in firmwires to ./firmwire.

Tried that but i´m getting the same popup any one with ideas?

[Xperia Z1 Compact General] balanced_emotions:

Honestly I was sure that there wont be 4K nor Double Tap To Wake Up as they are hardware related specifications.

[Xperia Z1 Compact General] sokimeez:
IL flashed and works good so far :)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] diamonds aren't forever:
dt2w no need for a specific hardware is a kernel function. My ex galaxy nexus was able to do it with no battery drain I'm pretty sure sony could be able to implement it if he wants, the fact is in my opinion is that he wants us to buy a newer phone.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] fmatic:
Same here! Flashed without problems and works like a charm. Firmware included Finnish language! Great! :D
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] kattzenfleisch:
Is there already a firmware which includes german language?

- There is the option to move app to SD?

- Available Internal memory space after installation?

- Overall system response (more fast app loading compared to KitKat, Reactivity of phonebook, settings...etc) ?

Thanks in advance for your time...Italy still no update. ;)

any way on how to trigger the OTA?

he did mention his Z1C was bought in an O2 shop so it´s quite obvious he has the O2 branded version and that´s why he got it already... stick to xperifirm and then you´ll see it when it´s there.
