Attention

This thread has 4 days to become a Complete nonsense...
[Xperia Z2 General] Haldi4803:
exactly my toughts xD

i wouldn't bet my money on Sony ^^

But who cares anyway... it's done when it's done.

BTW:

Aren't there some "three" people up north beta testing the Lolipop software on Z3?

Either not happening or none of them is leaking stuff on XDA... which is.... unthinkeable?
[Xperia Z2 General] bluheart:
They aren't releasing because.... Only they shall.know...
[Xperia Z2 General] digitallysick:
Maybe they plan to go out of business first, instead of providing any prompt updates. Our devices were expensive, why were are the last to get implemented updates makes no sense
[Xperia Z2 General] stanley08:
Note 3, working smoothly. No issues whatsoever.
[Xperia Z2 General] ImS0Raw:
Why is Sony taking sooooo long :( I can't wait hahaha. I just hope they release it atleast next month. (I read on several websites Sony will release it in March?, well the way it is right now it seems they will release it in March indeed)
[Xperia Z2 General] Envious_Data:
They said they intended for febuary but they also said planned for Q1 so end of march they have until

It seems as usual the only thing to fix as usual is RIL and judging from the screenshot leaks its near finished

Weve had a Lolipop rom from sony since last year heh
[Xperia Z2 General] ImS0Raw:
It is indeed still Q1 then, but I just want Lollipop sooooo bad that I can't wait. But the only reason for my impatience is that Sony is the only one that can provide us a stable Lollipop (but ofcourse never bugfree) firmware with Sony UI.

The screenshot leaks look pretty fake to me by the way, but who knows right? Judging from those screenshots it looks finished indeed. What is RIL actually?

I remember waiting for Gingerbread for my Sony Ericsson XPERIA x10, I miss that phone. The Update was great.
[Xperia Z2 General] Envious_Data:
Same goes, id rather wait for a good update then a bugged one

RIL= mobile data, etc

Those screenshots depends, who would spend so much time to make a theme and some mods to take a screenshot and or who can make a fake screenshot without any signs of doctoring

Of course there are people who can but it depends on who you are and your opinion of this

I thought we were getting a 3.10 kernel update :S
[Xperia Z2 General] romdroid.:
We want root! We want root!
[Xperia Z2 General] mishooo:
Ok so trying to follow up and failing ... what is the root situation on the lollipop and has anyone uploaded a pre rooted tft
[Xperia Z2 General] alb3rtt:
I guess we didnt...

I thought it *may* have been released with it as they merged 3.10 in recently but i guess it was merged in too late.

The next update (minor) *may* have it. If it doesn't, then 5.1 definitely will.
[Xperia Z2 General] shahmanthan9:
d6502?

Have we got any news on d6502 India version
[Xperia Z2 General] Eminos:
Is it possible to flash the tft on a stock 4.4.4 (locked bootloader, no root)? With flashtool? Where do I get it? And most importantly do I keep my data/settings just as with a normal update via PC companion?

I have downloaded the files with XperiFirm, but now what? If I don't unpack I get 4 files, if I unpack I get a bunch of files but no tft?
[Xperia Z2 General] Pandemic:
Netherlands get it now to ^^

But i gonna flash brother [MENTION=599722]niaboc79[/MENTION]'s pre-rooted 5.0.2 today ^^
[Xperia Z2 General] ImAnurag:
not rolled yet in India
[Xperia Z2 General] gamer649:
Notification on Pc companion about the update. Not sure where this customisation version is for, using the eXistenZ ROM.

Turns out it is the Nordic (combined) customisation number, my apologies.
[Xperia Z2 General] AlanDS:
[MENTION=5113927]gamer649[/MENTION]

Its Nordic Combined
[Xperia Z2 General] gamer649:
I checked after I had posted it as I wasn't sure what software it was based off of. Still handy for people wishing to get the OTA with changing their customisation version.
[Xperia Z2 General] yakupTR:
Where the art runtime???

D6503 cihazımdan gönderildi
[Xperia Z2 General] jeff7612:
I downloaded all the files, but there is no ftf file in there... so can someone please explain how to get it or make it?
[Xperia Z2 General] Steve3581:
Use Flashtool (link below)

http://www.flashtool.net/index.php

With flashtool you can download the update and create the ftf at the same time and then flash it afterwards :)
[Xperia Z2 General] Darklauber:
Can anyone upload the nordic generic FTF please?
[Xperia Z2 General] Erotas:

Available on Sony PC Companion 2.1 :) great.
[Xperia Z2 General] zaryab360:

[Xperia Z2 General] Erotas:
Baltic state Lithuania :) updating now.
[Xperia Z2 General] Huszi:
I am in lollipopp! Updated with PCC. Works fine. Fast, smooth and looks pretty good. Awesome!!!
[Xperia Z2 General] saberamani:
d6502???????????????????????????????
[Xperia Z2 General] gamer649:
Nordic and Baltic state countries first (which looks like the D6503). Yours will roll soon enough.
[Xperia Z2 General] zodiac100:
Just flashed the baltic rom without wiping data because didn't want to have to reinstall everything again.

Seems to be working fine and very fast but it also seems to have carried over the same bugs like the one I have with the keyboard when using chrome. Sometimes when I try to delete a word it'll reappear as I begin deleting and can be very annoying. Only happens with chrome. No where else!

Unfortunately there isn't any change to the camera software. The blown out highlights issue is still there. They improved this on z3 with an update before lollipop so was hoping z2 would get the same fix with this update but sadly not.

Seems Sony is now reserving fixes for newer devices. They must be really struggling to shift the z3 series if they have to resort to that sort of behaviour. Keeping new features is one thing but holding back performance improvements is quite another.

Also I've still got Walkman and not music. Could that be because I didn't wipe the phone when flashing?
[Xperia Z2 General] Haldi4803:
Already happened in 4.4.4 with chrome.... really annoying!
[Xperia Z2 General] zodiac100:
Yeah I know. It's carried over to lollipop as well.

Very disappointed that they didn't even include the fix for the blown out highlights as they did for the z3. It's a real problem when taking photos under artificial lighting or when there's much cloud cover. It affects the clarity of the photos and throws the camera off focus. It actually got worse with 4.4.4 so it's insane that they'd address the problem only for z3 series.

A new low for Sony mobile in my book
[Xperia Z2 General] lee480:
Doubt so. Firstly, there's no prove that Sony did not do anything about the camera. Secondly, as mentioned before, Sony sold a record number of phones last quarter (sales =/= profits), and according to a Sony Vice President, "Z3 series products ... are doing really well in the market".
[Xperia Z2 General] zodiac100:
It's not a very sunny day here in London so can't test it properly but I'll say it seems like the problem is still there. I know they improved it on z3 even before lollipop because my friend has one. You see it's quite a problem because it puts this haze like effect over the photo and throws it either totally off focus or partially focused. It can be the difference between a clear sharp detailed photo and a milky blurry one.

It just feels like they can't be bothered with older models much besides updating the os versions.

Back to sales, I put it to you that Sony is shifting loads of z2s because of its very low price and not z3s. At least in Europe anyway. America might be different because of network availability.

Let's look at their last official figures. 11.9 million units and only $87 million in profit.

You do the math, those are some very low profit margins which cannot stem from loads of z3 sales considering the z3 at the time was still retailing for £500 plus here in Britain. On the other hand the z2 was just hovering above £300 then which would give very small profits on the sale. Their own figures suggest they were making on average about $7 per unit after all deductions had been made. Trust me if they were selling loads of z3's they would have returned more profit.

That's just analysing the figures but even when I'm out and about, for the past 3 to 4 months I've been seeing shed loads of z2s out in the wild. On the train yesterday, there were three besides mine in the same carriage. The z2 is ridiculously cheap right now and in my opinion, the best value for money by currently available and it would seem a lot of buyers think that way too.

Sony posted higher unit sales than even LG who sold just over 10 units in the same period but Sony were more downbeat because of the small profits. They slashed the z2s price too fast and too furiously and it's come back to haunt the z3.

Who on earth would in their right minds pay almost 200 bucks more for the z3. Granted the difference is now down to £100 but still most would choose the z2. The difference between the two devices should never have exceeded £50 but Sony in their infinite wisdom thought slashing the price of the z2 would make the z3 seem more superior in the minds of buyers. Well that's blown up on their faces.

Well maybe it was a calculated move on Sony mobile's part to grow their market share by selling the z2 at such a discounted price but I doubt that. I just think they did that to try and fool buyers into thinking the z3 was much better than it actually was. They're even selling z2 and Z1 for the same £329 on their official site. The lunacy of this company never ceases to astound me.

The z2 is a bigger upgrade from the Z1 than the z3 is from the z2. Just laughable!

Also, Sony mobile excecs never said the z3 was selling well, they said it was well received. Question is well received by who? They probably meant the tech community which is true considering it has a much trendier design than its predecessor.
[Xperia Z2 General] lee480:
Didn't bother to read most part. Talk with no substance = nothing.

Though I want to add, a huge portion (majority) comes from impairment/goodwill charge, costing $1.7 billion. It's a miracle Sony Mobile is able to ekk out such a profit, thankfully from their flagships. Google that.

Sony reported an increased in sales revenue, btw. In case you didn't know why Sony charged impairment, they declared to auditors and regulatory officers it's due to an expected decrease in the sales of their mid range portfolio. I don't see the Z range mentioned.
[Xperia Z2 General] zodiac100:
Actually not. It just didn't make for good reading considering you're such a Sony fan. But it's true. LG sold fewer units than Sony in the same period but made higher profits. Simple reason, higher profit margins.

Don't see that many z3s about but z2s are becoming common place at least here in London. The signs are all there should you wish to face up to it.

Sony execs like their htc counterparts are arrogant idiots who talk a lot of bull. Listening to them you get the impression they think consumers are all fools for not appreciating their offerings enough when in truth they're the fools who released two devices with near identical specs and then priced them nearly £200 apart.

Can't blame sensible buyers for picking the cheaper one.
[Xperia Z2 General] lee480:
There's no need to go into character assassination, to allege someone of being a "fanboy".

But there's a need to correct information that are contradictory to actual facts.

There's nothing live up to. Here, more people are using the Z3. And in Barcelona, we have the Vice President of Sony Mobile saying Z3 is doing well. Not sure who to trust though. A Londoner or a Sony VP.

It's past two here in Singapore, and I'm going to sleep. And here's something I can offer. Good night. You win. (sleep won, actually)
[Xperia Z2 General] ImS0Raw:
Yes.
[Xperia Z2 General] laiho18:
Thank you mate.
[Xperia Z2 General] AttilaGolik:
What about the icon size? Still as ugly big as in 4.4.4 or changed back to normal?
[Xperia Z2 General] ImS0Raw:
It giant but now I'm used to use it's actually not that bad. You can change it when you have root.
[Xperia Z2 General] Bn Waheed:
Kernel 3.4.0 .. any idea why sony didn't update the kernel?
[Xperia Z2 General] Steve3581:
I'm surprised I was expecting walkman to be renamed music after the update...
[Xperia Z2 General] Koostis:
It's somewhat sad that the wait is over. It was fun seeking any tiny detail of the update or it's launch date, discussing the pros and cons, getting angry and dissing Sony... Man, pretty much every morning for the past week or two started in this thread in case a new rumour or detail had come out. And now when the update is here, it's like 'meh' :D
[Xperia Z2 General] davidka79:
Can you explain what will it gives us?

3.4 trunk is stable and supporting till 09/2016

3.10 it's pretty stable and supporting till 09/2015

More of that in android world like it's not a GNULinux it gives nothing cause you can't update kernel as alongside (in regular situation)
[Xperia Z2 General] doministry:
Is it true it doesn't have XReality?
[Xperia Z2 General] Bn Waheed:
yeah and there is a fix in apps and themes section
[Xperia Z2 General] ghostkill:
What Do you mean?

I See Xreality in my settings:
[Xperia Z2 General] stuffynet:
It is not working. You can toogle but nothing happens.
[Xperia Z2 General] lee480:
Did you unlock your bootloader before?
[Xperia Z2 General] stuffynet:
No. Flashed stock ftf. Needed files are missing from lollipop update.
[Xperia Z2 General] bdithug:
I would assume a second update will be coming somewhat soon then. And I use somewhat loosely
[Xperia Z2 General] lee480:
Yup. It does not work for me either.

As usual, Sony will roll out an update to fix this. Since, it seems that's the only bug needing attention so far.
[Xperia Z2 General] bdithug:
Haven't had a chance to update yet, but I've heard they didn't touch the low volume for notifications and speaker phone. Is that correct? Because Sony did say they were going to address that issue with this update.
[Xperia Z2 General] lee480:
Heard from? Notification has always been too loud for me. Wasn't an issue for me.
[Xperia Z2 General] dilema:
Notifications seem better to me. My calls have always been good.
[Xperia Z2 General] ravdo:
They've fixed the notification sound.

Now it uses both speakers, and quite loud :laugh:
[Xperia Z2 General] chesterr:
How did you guys like the blue status bar? :mad:
[Xperia Z2 General] Koostis:
Change the theme and you'll get another colour :D
[Xperia Z2 General] HellRoot:
The equalizer does not work either... Brings me back to the good old days with the z and z1... Clearaudio does not work, equalizer and all sound enhancements.

No biggie.. But would love to have a little more double drum sound to my metal :)

The funny thing is that they say the z2 and z3 is an audiophile phone... Right...
[Xperia Z2 General] Koostis:
Maybe he flashed the ftf manually instead of OTA and it resulted in some incompatibilities.
[Xperia Z2 General] shahmanthan9:
When can we expect update for d6502?

I am having d6502(India), when can we expect update for that?

guys, I have an unbranded z2. yesterday I flashed blatic unbranded ftf file. my question is will I still be able to get OTA updates ( phone was never rooted or anything like that, bootloader is still locked)
[Xperia Z2 General] PRO>KOMP.<:
Yes
[Xperia Z2 General] adryanosss:
Screen locked in first screenshot. Screen unlock in second. That's a bug or a feature?
[Xperia Z2 General] doministry:
Looks like a feature. On locked screen just limited options.
[Xperia Z2 General] ImS0Raw:
It is not a bug I guess it just for security I think because some features aren't available for security when your phone is locked.
[Xperia Z2 General] adryanosss:
It make sense, but why isn't customizable? And why acces to NFC, Airplane mode and no acces mobile data, auto rotate?
[Xperia Z2 General] ImS0Raw:
Who needs auto rotate on their lockscreen? And why no mobile data? Maybe so not some stranger can activate it and use your date and give you unexpectedly high data costs when he finds your phone.
[Xperia Z2 General] mysara saad:
Go to Android development thread there u can find a rooted zip rom for d6503 u will find the rom and the fix just flash the rom then the fix in recovery. Sorry bro so busy to give links

Okay so I got it to work but I had use an older version of flashtool and then I used 4.4.4 Baltic and updated to 5.0 through pcc

It works in the Walkman app but not third party apps... I saw the same for HTC running lollipop.. We will have to wait until there will be a fix I guess

The interesting thing is, it's been a week since Lollipop is released for Xperia Z2 but when I check on XperiFirm, it seems that Lollipop update is only released for Scandinavian versions. Like DK, SE, NO. My phone is Customized DE, still no Lollipop update yet.

I know I can flash the Baltic ROM, but I want the original Lollipop with my customization number. At least a date when it'll released. Any ideas?
[Xperia Z2 General] Vuja1:
my is for USA and I also still not have update. Maybe this week we will get update, or maybe this is only test build, and we need to wait month or two :( i hope it will be this week
[Xperia Z2 General] V4LKyR:
Well, XperiFirm doesn't show Lollipop update for USA ROM... Like I said, only SE, NO and DK ROMs are Lollipop (according to XperiFirm)

When will Customized DE receive Lollipop update? I'm on CM, so I can't check via Update Manager or something else. The only place I can check updates is XperiFirm.
[Xperia Z2 General] JoeyStorm:
I'm in Canada, and I know that we are usually the last to get the rollout (it's been the case for many OEM's, not just Sony). I just flashed the Baltic ROM, it is pretty much the same thing with the exception of some language options. Better than waiting for something that doesn't have an ETA.
