I think Sony recognized the update is flawed with obvious bugs and omissions, so they are delaying it until they fix it. Maybe they'll even cancel the spread of this build and launch the next one globally. With this version they just gave the most impatient users something to play with...

Think I'll wait for a proper UK release before I go ahead and update.

Will also need to wait until it's rooted, or a pre-footed firmware is available. Or we get a method like the 4.4.4 one to create our own pre-rooted images :)

Then I'll have to learn how to flash my phone all over again since I can never remember no matter how many times I do it....

[Xperia Z2 General] _delice_doluca_:
So far, I have been using 4.4.2 from Mega (provided from the Firmwares topic on the general section) and making updates after installing it. That Firmware has .ta files included inside with all those .sin files. However, from what I read from various pages, it's advised to leave them not included" when creating a flashable Firmware with Flashtool. So I did for Turkish 5.0 firmware but not sure as this is my first time.

Selam. Olay tereddüt etmek yani tamamen. Elimdeki 4.4.2 de ta olanlar var ve şu ana kadar hiç sorun çıkmadı. Kendim ilk kez Flashtool ile indirip Firmware yaratmayı denedim, ama ta leri eklemedim paketin içine. Yanlış mı yaptım onun tereddüt unu yaşıyorum.

Deli doluca, you did not make it wrong, if you add. Ta, you can losr your drm keys, dont worry you make the right thing
[Xperia Z2 General] Haldi4803:
If you don't need them, exclude them! Most of the time they don't contain important stuff especially when you have unlocked Bootloader it could become a problem.

But even if you accidently include one. Flashtool normaly doesn't flash the included .ta files, you have to manually select it.

Guess Baltic Baseband is not well optimized for my region?

I've tried that, it's Generic HK with only one bloatware app. Pretty sure other region will be updated to this version too, because it fixed the image enhancement (X-Reality+Super Vivid) problem.

It's true that it's better to wait and get a better working ROM than to rush and get a half done ROM. But if Sony says February, it should be February and nothing else. That's the only thing i think is bad. Well, 3 days more. :p

This is my first Sony device, but if the updates are anything like Samsung I will not be updating as soon as they push the update. I'll give it a week and see how many problems people are complaining about, as there are always problems.
[Xperia Z2 General] dilema:
So you want a better working rom, but it has to be in February? For all we know, it could be buggy as hell and need lots of work, and there's no way it will be out in Feb.

Some of you are acting like your phone is going to stop working if it's not updated by the end of Feb. Companies miss deadlines all the time, get over it. You'll get it when it's ready.

[Xperia Z2 General] bdithug:
One can only hope someone buys Xperia from Sony and does something with it. Sony makes great devices, but my God the company is a joke. From their customer service, to their marketing, and even software updates. I know everyone says how stable 4.4.4 is, but I disagree. 4.4.4 has plenty of bugs, and to be honest, I expected more from 4.4.4.
[Xperia Z2 General] Pandemic:
Aah no !!

Ending Xperia is just a rumour, i hope so that aint happen !

Well 4.4.4 is better then 4.4.2 well at least on my Z2 so i wonder what you doing on your 4.4.4 and i dont have any bugs so far and Sony make sure great machines but it is not a joke !!

Samsung and HTC and even LG are big jokes ^^

Sent From Somewhere On Earth With My Z2 ^^
[Xperia Z2 General] bdithug:
Don't get me wrong, 4.4.4 is still somewhat of an upgrade over 4.4.2. It added some nice features and it fixed a few bugs, but not all of them. It also added a few new bugs I've noticed as well though. And considering the z2 was one of the last flagships in 2014 to be updated to 4.4.4, I don't have a good feeling for lollipop for this device :(

Sony needs to increase the speaker volume once and for all for this phone. I feel bad for anyone that owns this phone that doesn't have an understanding of root, flashing roms, etc. You should not NEED to root your phone to have decent phone speakers and volume levels. It's pathetic for an $800 flagship device.

Wifi drops, data drops, stamina mode, I don't even want to get into the amount of issues I've encountered with version 167. But I am starting to grow impatient with Sony and their lack of updates, lack of information, and still lack of stability.
[Xperia Z2 General] HellRoot:
I fully agree....

The sound level of the speakers are pathetic... Xloud, i miss it so much... I dont want to mess too much with the phone anymore but have root...

Sony should be able to make the phone hearable from the box..

[Xperia Z2 General] @ARC-S@:
What's wrong with 4.4.4? I have yet to encounter any issues regarding Wifi and 4G connecting or my apps force closing or anything like that. But YEAH speaker volume is a little low considering that there's 2 speakers. About not getting the update to Android 5 I agree that it's late but as long as the current software is stable (Which doesn't apply to you lol), I'm a happy customer!

What specific problems you got? Thugs don't whine bruh.
[Xperia Z2 General] Korke86:
yeees Lollipop for Sony Z series is 31. february ! :D :D :D
[Xperia Z2 General] bdithug:
Here's what I've noticed with the 4.4.4 update:

1 - wifi drops - randomly, my wifi will cut out. The phone shows its connected to the wifi network (full strength), but when I load a website, it just hangs, sits there just loading. Nothing ever loads though. Once I disable wifi, then re-enable it, everything will work again for a short time until the bug resurfaces.

2 - data drops - same as above but with data. Phone shows its connected to the data networks. When I load a website or something that requires the Internet, it just hangs there loading. Once I disable data, and re-enable it, everything works until the bug resurfaces again.

3 - stamina mode - stamina mode doesn't work properly for my phone. When I enable stamina mode, I gain very little (if any) battery life. The only thing stamina mode does is worsen the bugs above. They happen more frequently when stamina mode is on. But either way, I don't gain any battery life with stamina mode enabled.

4 - inconsistent sound levels - sometimes after hanging up on a call, the sound levels (touch sounds) are either really low or really high for a few seconds after wards.

5 - battery drain - when I first got this phone, I could easily get 5 hours screen on time. I use full brightness all the time, wifi most of the day, some voice calls, but my usage is pretty consistent day to day. Now I find myself getting about 4 hours screen on time on average. Haven't changed any apps, or usage habits. Not sure if it's software related, or if my battery is already degraded (phone purchased July 2014 brand new).

Those are my major issues. I've noticed other minor hiccups and bugs here and there but they're not as apparent as the ones above.
[Xperia Z2 General] jonathangrag:
All those bugs are especific for you brow. I dont have any of this. Maybe is your phone, i have no idea. :(
[Xperia Z2 General] ravdo:
Have you tried to restore your phone to factory settings? Or reinstalling the firmware using flashtool.

Because I don't have those problems on 4.4.4

I even reached 3 days+ with 5 hours of SOT using Stamina mode.... lol
[Xperia Z2 General] bdithug:
Yup, I've repaired via pcc, flashed an ftf via Flashtool. I've also tested the wifi issues with my dad's z2 as well, same problem on my home network. The wifi drops have been narrowed down to the device and router not cooperating 100%. Others also have these issues as well, I've seen it here on XDA as well as Sony forums.
[Xperia Z2 General] HellRoot:
The WiFi bug is something that I have but in my case it helps to close the browser.. Remove it from the recent apps menu. So it may be wifi or the app...
