What is the rush with the Lollipop anyway. I have to say that out of all these years Lollipop has been a step back from the previous version.

My Nexus 7 2013 was great with 4.4.4 and after updating to 5.0 and now 5.0.2 it is slow, apps are rebooting and I basically have to reboot the tablet every day to fix a memory leak. And before anyone mentions, yes I have done factory reset twice already.

My friend has HTC M8 and he is also complaining that after the lollipop update his phone has had random reboots and some apps are lagging now and also battery dying faster.

So to put it shortly, I rather use 4.4.4 for now than have 5.0.2 or even worse 5.0

ART

we need. right now
[Xperia Z3 General] unmaskedfalesh:
Well i would give same advice to u..as well..and its a public forum so u dnt need to give ur grand advice..

Thank u
[Xperia Z3 General] goTouch:
I respect your point, but these are two different things:

First, you don't like lollipop. No problem. But I'm talking about how Sony do things. Sony said they are working hard to bring lollipop to the entire Z family . That's all. How hard it is? I really don't know. For me, it is a lack of respect to give users a hope and do not give them a roadmap. A time frame. Something that is more concrete.

Second, why lollipop is a step back? If you are talking about user interface, that's fine cause this is to subjective. People will like and others won't. But take a look inside Lollipop: ahead of time compilation, RAM optimization, API improvements everywhere, connectivity optimizations. For me, this is the biggest update Google made to Android. If Sony implements things as they should, we are going to have a smooth interface, more battery, faster execution. And that is what I want. Interface if I like it or not, I'm going to get use to it.

Sony mobile division is facing a very bad time. They do not know what to do. All I read about them is uncertainty about everything.

I hope I'm wrong, but I do not expect lollipop this month. With luck, next month it will be released.
[Xperia Z3 General] CandyAndy:
Lollipop as a user interface looks cleaner and more modern than Lollipop, especially compared to Sony's big icons etc. So its not about the looks.

Why I don't like it is because there seems to be some serious bugs which a) kill the battery more quickly and b) make apps and everything else stutter every once in a while.

I actually just talked with my friend who has LG G3 and he said that if before he never had to charge his battery during his work day he after his lollipop update can't make it from morning until evening without charging. Similar complaints from my friend with M8 and with my Nexus 7 I have basically stopped using it after the Lollipop update because the main thing I do with it, web browsing, has became quite slow and chrome keeps closing down every once in a while. I now rather do random web browsing with my Z3.

So yeah, I can understand if a bit disappointing because of this delay, but I rather wait that the current bugs are fixed before Lollipop coming to our Z3. If not, then who knows how long we are stuck with the battery draining and stuttering Z3. Maybe forever? Maybe until August?
[Xperia Z3 General] CuBG:
I got it also. Though from update like that i dont expect anything :)
[Xperia Z3 General] stanley08:
When u check Xperifirm for updates, u can see something like .28 (RC4) and .28 (RC5). Could be this maybe... Little fixes...
[Xperia Z3 General] gimbu:
But I did not see any update in uk. Android version:*Android 5.1 (Lollipop)

Latest available software:*23.4.A.0.546

Release started:*2015-07-21
[Xperia Z3 General] Drzfr3shboialex:
I really want Lollipop on my amazing z3 as the next person but I'd rather wait for a complete version. My mom has lollipop on her Nexus 4 and is always asking me to fix a problem, whether it's Facebook or an app force-closing, the ringer not working even when full volume, lag, etc. I really just want lollipop for the UI, certain features, but the main one being the sd card "working" again. I hope they update the ps4 remote play and make its functionality better.
[Xperia Z3 General] unmaskedfalesh:
New version of walkman just rolled out..sony always updates the media apps before rolling the actual update..so it might be near...
[Xperia Z3 General] Drzfr3shboialex:
Yeah the Walkman got the material design 1/2 week(s) ago.
[Xperia Z3 General] unmaskedfalesh:
No i mean today they released the minor update again..specially fixing light bar on SP
[Xperia Z3 General] Drzfr3shboialex:
Yeah I got it, I was just saying that the app was already updated to lollipop standards lol. I hope we get little to no bugs. 5.1 is rolling out later this month I hope that's what we get.
[Xperia Z3 General] unmaskedfalesh:
We can just hope for the best..rest upto sony...after taking quite time if they don't deliver.. Again pain fr us...
[Xperia Z3 General] Reload147:
March rollout?

Read somewhere that it will roll out on march according to leaks :/ I want it nowwww, don't have the patience :P
[Xperia Z3 General] Hussain_Salam:
I thought this was only Rogers?

EDIT:

I believe you were correct: (Source: http://www.christiantoday.com/artic...oid.5.0.lollipop.os.update.in.march/47835.htm)
[Xperia Z3 General] Reload147:
Jst read it again. Yes you are right :P

Edit: Ok yeah it might be for all of the z3.
[Xperia Z3 General] realfelix:
That's what I expected from Sony. :D
[Xperia Z3 General] SweDunda:
FuuuU. 4 more week's...
[Xperia Z3 General] smilu:
For all of you wondering how it will look like...guess material design fans will be very pleased.......

For proof...check out the icon of updated walkman app :) - flat design with some shadow on the font....

[Xperia Z3 General] Huey85:
You know, by the time you receive your order, Lollipop could have already started rolling out (or be in the initial stages of rolling out) for the Z3... but yeah, you have fun with that. :good:

And oh yeah....

5" IPS 720p capacitive touchscreen of 294ppi, Gorilla Glass 3
1.2GHz quad-core Cortex-A7 CPU; 1GB of RAM; Adreno 305 GPU; Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 chipset

[Xperia Z3 General] kernald:
Your links is, well... Wrong? The only written announcement by Sony is still there: http://blogs.sonymobile.com/2014/10...d-5-0-lollipop-to-the-entire-xperia-z-series/

The "next month" was never written down by Sony. So what's the point of saying "The posts were taken down."? Only carrier-specifics were supposedly (I didn't check those).
[Xperia Z3 General] abhinav.tella:
T-Mobile M8 just got Lollipop, installed for my dad just now. Hoping Sony releases carrier versions quickly like HTC.

Might be March for rollout to start, apparently due to issues with the source code.

Vodafone spain ( and europe) in march
[Xperia Z3 General] Webern:
That just refers to the Rogers rumour, not globally.
[Xperia Z3 General] persian_redhat:
I bet you are all sucker for technology and i didn't expect you discuss in this way. Z3 will get it's generic update this month obsolutely, and all the news around the internet relates to carriers not global version. The only official source is Sony itself and it didn't say anything about march!
[Xperia Z3 General] Akiainavas:
You bought another phone to use it for 1-2 weeks and threw your Z3 in the closet just because it doesn't run 5.0 yet ? Oh dear lord...

5.0 will be here next week. And it's not like it's going to bring anything your phones doesn't already have or do...
[Xperia Z3 General] THUDUK:
Got rid of my NEXUS 5 and LG G3 both were running the latest, Android Lollipoop, to be honest, I am so pleased the Z3 is still on 4.4.4, so much better, fingers crossed the update doesn't arrive till lollipop is sorted.

"we are in the process to roll out the new Android 5.0 (lollipop) update for all Xperia smartphones. "

"it's coming very soon."

It just has to be February!

Any Three swedish users here?
[Xperia Z3 General] WujekT:
If any, I think that one of conditions of beta testing was don't give others information about system look and working.
[Xperia Z3 General] King p1n:
I don't think you'll be seeing this update anytime soon
[Xperia Z3 General] SweDunda:
Yep
[Xperia Z3 General] Jiyeon90:
So how's lollipop treating you?
[Xperia Z3 General] SweDunda:
You will soon see

This is just making me more impatient?

[Xperia Z3 General] chompiz:
We havent got L yet. There where only some Three users that were in a beta test a couple of months ago, but they didnt get to keep their phones so they dont got it either.
[Xperia Z3 General] MD.:
sony start roll out lollipop at february 16, start with Z2.

I don t answer your questions.
[Xperia Z3 General] SovPanda:
really scared for the tmobile version, the xperia z hasnt received 4.4 yet and that worries me
[Xperia Z3 General] Prasad:
What dafuq are you talking about? I'm on T-Mobile 4.4.4

Edit: my bad, but this is the Z3 forum
[Xperia Z3 General] sxtester:
So?...

Do you seriously expect Sony to bring Z3 features to Z2 even before Z3 has been made available on all markets?
[Xperia Z3 General] dagrim1:
4.4.4. isn't really Z3 feature though, now is it... And it would be nice if sony doesn't forget older models once new versions are being released yeah, or at least be a bit quicker with some things.
[Xperia Z3 General] se1000:
What exactly in 4.4.4 over 4.4.2 are you looking for?
[Xperia Z3 General] abhinav.tella:
You can still have 4.4.2 with google patches and it will be equal to 4.4.4 in all but name so don't bother about the minor revision number as some like LG patch 4.4.2 to have all the 4.4.4 fixes.
[Xperia Z3 General] zujko:

[Xperia Z3 General] Jonathan-H:
Don't see why this is such a big deal. Anything can be copied to the SD card, pictures can be saved there.
[Xperia Z3 General] dagrim1:
Yeah, but try using a different gallery for example... Suddenly it's not as handy anymore because the gallery app isn't allowed to delete images. THis is just one example...
[Xperia Z3 General] zujko:
Come on Sony, hurry up with the release of new 5.0..

I read, and lg g3 gets an upgrade next week and the older device from z3..

It all seems to be Z3 until next year to have a new 5.0, while Samsung, LG and HTC get to the end of the year...
[Xperia Z3 General] justkidding1337:
Hi guys,

do you think Sony will also upgrade the Z3 Dual at the same time as the Z3?

At least from HTC I heard they are not really supporting there Dual Sim versions.

Any idea if Sony is doing better here?

Greetings!

Have you seen what LG's L build looks like??????? I'd rather wait.
[Xperia Z3 General] sxtester:
Exactly, but how buggy Android 5 still is doesn't seem to matter. I can already heard the folks screaming: Sony give 5.0.1, Sony give me 5.0.2, Sony give me 5.anything. Heaven, will it ever stop?!

It will not stop. Better to ignore them.

[Xperia Z3 General] marc539:
Hope it'll improve auto mode on camera, if that happens this phone will truly be perfect
[Xperia Z3 General] sxtester:
That has nothing to do with Android 5, I'd reckon. Did your printer print nicer or did your monitor shine brighter after your last OS upgrade on your PC?...
[Xperia Z3 General] dagrim1:
Well, it's more in the range of the hope that they take this opportunity to actually properly fix the camera software...

Dude, L cures cancer and prevents babies from crying, I read the commits myself!

[Xperia Z3 General] SovPanda:
meant the original z, it's scary knowing tmobile can delay how ever long they want without saying anything. But it relates to the z3 to because it could also mean an extremely delayed update, was using the z version as reference
[Xperia Z3 General] Prasad:
Yeah, it's mostly due to their deeply integrated WiFi calling, which has libraries and it's more than just an app. So it's kinda understandable but not to the extent that they delay releases.
[Xperia Z3 General] Moonscoute:
Do you mean that there is a lollipop version on Tre mobile in Sweden?

Let me try. Sony will start the roll out of L on the 19th and will start with the Z3.

I can't tell you how I know, sorry, just believe!
[Xperia Z3 General] Huey85:
jeezus.. too much speculation on dates without any proof on sources is just pointless. it's out when it's out. end of story.
[Xperia Z3 General] goTouch:
I think they are going to roll out on February 29!

Don't ask how I know. I just know! ???
[Xperia Z3 General] crazymister:
Righhtt.. I see what you did there :p
[Xperia Z3 General] slim207rc:
Damn. I just got word that there is a plan of an OS which will be named by some sort of candy. nuts right!?

Speculations say it might even be released...

Come on folks, why so impatient? We've got an OS running pretty smooth on our devices which has hardly been the case on android, why can't that just be enjoyed for a while, at least during the time another OS gets released, still in its first steps where a lot of bugs have to be sorted out?

As if the world would look different with L if it where released tomorrow?! What's the rush?
[Xperia Z3 General] micha-s_1e4:
Does anyone know which lollipop version we'll get on Z3?

5.0, 5.01, 5.02 or 5.1?

Yeah, Sony know.

:laugh:

:laugh:

brilliant question...how's ANYBODY down here supposed to know...:laugh:
[Xperia Z3 General] Cozmos23:
Best condition would be 5.1. But 5.0.1 to expect. So 2 Versions behind actual Android.

Worst case 5.0.

Don't know why so much ppl complain about Lollipop.

With an AntiVirus, 5 Ram Boosters and 3 facebook clients running in background you probably need an Server Cluster to get it lagfree.

I know the mess some people call their smartphone.

Running CM12 on an S4 and its by far the best android Version I ever used.
[Xperia Z3 General] lee480:
Are you joking? 5.1 sources have not been released by Google are you guys are expecting it?

And it should be 5.0.2
[Xperia Z3 General] Drzfr3shboialex:
I really want the writing on sd cards and material, but I could wait of the bugs are being ironed out.
[Xperia Z3 General] abhinav.tella:
March is not to bad, better to fix the issues with the source than a buggy release.

And yea it's 5.0.2 in all probability as 5.1 sources aren't even out. I'm sure many of the fixes can be added by Sony to the 5.0.2 that are coming to 5.1.
[Xperia Z3 General] :

[Xperia Z3 General] jonnytrix83:
I not much happy.. For me xperia mobile say much liar
[Xperia Z3 General] slim207rc:
I can understand some inpatients at times, as sony, since it's first announcement, keeps telling the people "it will be available soon" or "we are in the progress of releasing".

By other manufacturers, when they say "shortly" or "soon", you know the update will be released within the next 2-3 weeks, if not maybe even days.

With sony you will have to think of something like 2-3 months.

So the only reason I can understand the hype is that people ask, sony replays with "very soon".... And nothing happens! But people do expect at least something, especially when it is said "very soon " or "in progress of release"

That's like buying a car and they tell you your car will be delivered soon and you wait like 6 months for it.

So somehow there is an understanding there!

Sony, once again, last up.
[Xperia Z3 General] Cozmos23:
Yes when u buy a flagship (I would call the Z3 the actual flagship) for a lot of money u expect more than just a phone.

And also everyone is talking about Lollipop because nearly every flagship of other manufacturers including some older models actually received the update u feel some kind of dumped and forgotten.

If there would be an CM12 Version without the big bugs I would not mind.

As soon as Google releases the 5.1 sources the CM team will merge them and they are doing it for free in their spare free time beside their regular jobs.

Shame on Sony

They should make an update for the devices that CM doesn't face such big issues and they can keep their updates.
[Xperia Z3 General] Mano1982:
Seriously guys, Note 4 has not recieved Lollipop yet. All flagship phones are getting update in THESE days, some weeks before or after. Z3 will also get soon!

Battery life tests KitKat vs Lollipop. (M8/GS5/G3/N5)

Samsung seems to have made gains across the board in various tests. M8 gained in a lot and lost some, while Nexus 5 and G3 just did worse.

http://blog.gsmarena.com/benchmarking-android-5-0-lollipop-battery-life-samsung-galaxy-s5-lg-g3/

Hopefully taking longer for the update means the Z3 gains or at least does not lose any battery life.

I know I should keep patient,but I actually keep checking here and there for any evidence of lollipop updates,then get nothing but complaints,I really want to do the same thing,though I know it means nothing.I always come to think:why Sony never makes even one leak(just pretend to)of system to make people calm down?I don't know why they could spend so much time on a system whose source code was released 3 months ago.They always could not hear users' sound,or respond dully,they just do what they do,which makes SONY MOBILE fail in Android World.
