I do. Xposed for lollipop has been released for quite a while now.
[Xperia Z2 General] djgigi94:
And also one plus one release late(on March instead of Febbruary) official lollipop firmware ;) And they have "only" a little featured cyanogenmod firmware(CM12s) and a alternative paranoid android firmware (OxygenOs) . Normally they are so fast in updates ...but lollipop have too new frameworks,graphics,feature ,bugs and more. For a stable relase we must wait...or enjoy the other brands with a buggy lollipop ;) For now, i haven't any reason to have early this update because:1) 4.4.4 firmware(in general) for me is perfect ;) good stability ,performance and battery life.2) all apps are compatible and there isn't any ART compatibility problems ;) 3) in case of Sony..the wait is often paid .For z2 the 4.4.4 firmware arrive late,but, they have introduce some z3 features and some improvent (like camera quality and stability) . We must only wait ;)
[Xperia Z2 General] senthilvigneshkumar:
Looks like more of cm12, wifi, network and vibration.... Better if they are the same as in KK.
[Xperia Z2 General] dakunclear:
I know this isn't a part of a wish list but Sony has finally updated ps4 remote play to be compatible with jellybean

[Xperia Z2 General] Pandemic:
Then we all need to wait a little bit longer and i have patients, and Vodafone said that in the link but i am just curious about the brandfree Z2's like mine, anyone knows that ?
[Xperia Z2 General] Envious_Data:
brand free should be getting updates a tiny bit earlier as usual, unless you have a modified device (updates wont show at all)

also depends on your region.

what ever FTF shows first im grabbing it and debranding it hehe :D
[Xperia Z2 General] Pandemic:
Oke thanks for that info bro i was not sure about that and no i buyed my Z2 new and brandfree out of the box and yes it depends also on my region indeed ^^
[Xperia Z2 General] Brontok:
My only wish for this update is for the mic to work properly.. several persons have said that I sound like crap on their side of the line.. Other than that, everything is ok :)
[Xperia Z2 General] gamer649:
Personally I think it is because the mic is where the three dots at the bottom of the phone is. I know for a fact niaboc79's eXistenZ ROM has a mic fix what allows people to hear you better. You may also be able to find the flashable zip in the ROM thread, I'm not sure if it will be still hosted though.
[Xperia Z2 General] Brontok:
I didn`t want to flash any custom roms on my phone but now you intrigued me :) I`ll give it a look. thanks for your reply.
[Xperia Z2 General] gamer649:
Same as I said, you may be able to find the mic fix in the thread somewhere. However I don't know if it is still hosted. I'll take a look and see if I can find it to save you flashing a custom ROM.

Xperia Z2 & Z3 Have the same firmware:

So at a time will be updated to 5.0.:p
[Xperia Z2 General] chesterr:
Oh hey, you all forget that we only have 16gb internal storage and we can only access roughly 11gb. So since lollipop doesn't have the sdcard restrictions anymore, so I hope Sony will let us to move apps plus it's data to sdcard. Hope that happens :fingers-crossed:
[Xperia Z2 General] Envious_Data:
Did i mention shutter speed

I found its quite anoying not being able to control shutter speed in a camera

Also less restrictions on DRM Content

Id love for Bionz to work again but i also dont care because i can still produce some amazing camera results

Also xperia firmwares are often hoggy, would be nice to have a faster experiance, speed and smoothness make alot in device and the Z2 lacks that a tiny bit, not to bothered realy

I feel like sony should make a advanced manual mode plugin for Xperia™ Smart Camera
[Xperia Z2 General] chesterr:
+1 Specially about DRM content. X-reality I really don't care but when it comes to camera, they shouldn't kill it.

I hope DRM function restoration will work cause I'd love to run a custom kernel on 5.0 :D
[Xperia Z2 General] Ame123:
What i want is that sony implement the camera2 api. Bcoz none of the other OEMS have implemented it and camera applications on playstore cannot perform the manual actions.
[Xperia Z2 General] LLegoLLaS:
auto-hide navbar in any menu
[Xperia Z2 General] Light_Sephiroth:
The only thing i care about is a good camera software with the new APIs.. i hope they won't disappoint me.
[Xperia Z2 General] yuskhayru:
Simple and light UI, for smooth browsing and bloatware free!
[Xperia Z2 General] stress40:
Forgot one of the most important things I think and that is ROOTABILITY:victory:
[Xperia Z2 General] AttilaGolik:
My wish: normal icon size again instead of the ridiculous big ones in the latest KitKat :)
[Xperia Z2 General] lgv2800:
Yeah. I am using Xposed module to change the size of the icons to make them smaller.
[Xperia Z2 General] Envious_Data:
I actualy find the icon size quite nice

It fills that empty space
[Xperia Z2 General] Bn Waheed:
i hope sony will consider all the ideas in this thread .. there are all good ideas
[Xperia Z2 General] AttilaGolik:
Different people = different tastes :) I more prefer the normal size with empty spaces between them. Large icons make me feel that I have bad seeing :) It will be a better idea if Sony change the grid size instead: more but normal icons in one screen and launcher, like LG G3 for example. Actually I use Z3 Home launcher which has normal icon sizes :)
[Xperia Z2 General] lgv2800:
I did make the icons a bit smaller and added a fifth row via xposed
[Xperia Z2 General] Envious_Data:
I would love for customizable camera settings

E.g custom framerate for videos

That would be interesting
[Xperia Z2 General] lgv2800:
Yeah. But what i mostly prefer and wish from the update, is the design and UI to be updated. Also making their UI more fluid and ram processing better. Afterall ART is coming to our devices :D :D
[Xperia Z2 General] Envious_Data:
Funny enough xperias hoggy ram usage is why battery is so good, it keeps as much as it can before the device seriously slows down

UI fluidness i only care if its truly like this and not just cheap animations (apple does this hence why a 1.5Ghz is only slow when there is no animation)
[Xperia Z2 General] lgv2800:
Yeah. But i like flatness! It´s so cool. I dont like the Sony design UI that much. Its a bit too glossy. I want it more flat and modern ;)
[Xperia Z2 General] Envious_Data:
I like the Matt Ui but yes, Sony UI When its flattened is quite nice

Im too use to texture so Its somewhat bland if its flat, ill adjust easily tho just because android is worth it
[Xperia Z2 General] lgv2800:
What are your thoughts about the walkman update?

I like it and want other Sony apps like album and movies updated or designed like that :P
[Xperia Z2 General] Envious_Data:
It looks quite nice although somewhat odd with the vynl icon

They also missed some important details if they care about making more money but it seems they care about quality more so
[Xperia Z2 General] lgv2800:
But do you want the same design in other apps?
[Xperia Z2 General] Envious_Data:
Yes and no, could do with better coloring.

I like it because its material and i like material exept that over used blue color.

Lets wait and see
[Xperia Z2 General] lgv2800:
Yup. Its already February. It´s coming soon :P
[Xperia Z2 General] Sigitas.lk:
I wish sony to add, more functions to camera. Like the long exposure shots, or like oppo has 50mpix mode. And 2 wish is to make phone battery life more consistant.
[Xperia Z2 General] rappa619:
Hopefully the option of the non-intrusive background incoming call that lollipop has.
[Xperia Z2 General] Erik1805:
I would like to see better camera software. They built a great phone with a great camera but the software is somewhat behind. Superior Auto mode could be better. I also have to little kids and therefor no time to set manual mode. :p
[Xperia Z2 General] xarfrost:
The new Walkman lollipop UI is pretty. Im happy they kept the dark colors and retained the theme just making it flatter look. Like Envious_Data, im not totally happy with the icon. Looks kinda oversaturated and not sharp. Im using stock Sony launcher 4.4.4. I hope the LP upgrade will update the looks on the camera,calc, calendar and messaging UI. Needs to have a refreshed look.
[Xperia Z2 General] tvdang7:
I just want loud notification sounds.... I'm not asking for too much.
[Xperia Z2 General] Envious_Data:
I think sony need to ditch the grey

Its starting to look boring

They should go with a dominantly white or Black shaded UI
[Xperia Z2 General] gamer649:
Personally I prefer black as it is a lot easier on the eyes, especially at night. It would be nice if Sony would allow us to swap between black UI and white UI on the fly (or at least with a reboot).
[Xperia Z2 General] Envious_Data:
Yes like CM theme engine

Perhaps have built in dark and light themes

Or even day night themes. So daytime light mode or nighttime dark mode
[Xperia Z2 General] zodiac100:
Improvements to the camera software are always welcomed although I feel unlikely so not holding my breath.

Material design? Only where necessary in my opinion. I prefer xperia ui
[Xperia Z2 General] Envious_Data:
I change my mind

Dark grey on black looks pretty awesome
[Xperia Z2 General] tOrNadO™:
[MENTION=4895687]Envious_Data[/MENTION] The idea of daytime n nighttime UI is good, but the concept might consume battery. But dark ui was nice according to me, not that white is ugly. Its just that black was better.. But optional one is a very good idea.. :)
[Xperia Z2 General] Envious_Data:
I found its quite nice to have

Carbon rom has this featuture "(i think)

It saves my eyes from being burnt to a crisp at night

Also saves battery at night.
[Xperia Z2 General] Sigitas.lk:
I realy hope, sony will keep silent mode switch (when shot down button long presed). And i realy want a LED notification light manager built in.

[Xperia Z2 General] y300owner:
They really have to revamp the setting, notification drawer. I really like Samsung's settings. Brightness control so easy.

Improving the current camera using Android Lollipops new camera technology would really nice.

Ptcrb doesn't even have a new firmware listed on their website for the z2. My guess is Sony will fail to deliver in February.
[Xperia Z2 General] gamer649:
Why are any of us surprised that Sony will miss the February window? However they did say the beginning of 2015, so I interpret that as any point in Q1 2015. Q1 2015 runs from 1st Jan - 31st March.

Funny thing is that they said it'll be released by Feb so I think two more weeks and we can find out if it's really Feb or March lol :p

Another wish is that I hope battery life will be greater like how Samsung S5 gained after receiving LP(11 Hours man, That's a lot :D), and oh yea M8 gained 6 hours. All because of Project Volta.

PS: BTW I was talking about endurance time and yea it means a lot too :D and read the comments too. People are so satisfied with it. Since Xposed is working battery will be amazing and Hope DooMLoRDis cooking his kernel too :p

Go on Sony, miss the February release. Confirm to me that I've bought my last Sony device. :)
[Xperia Z2 General] Envious_Data:
that's a tiny bit ignorant don't you think

look at big companies who missed their dates, Rockstar Games are one and yet they'd rather continue to spend time and make something perfect rather than listen to customers repetitively complain

you cant rush starting over.
[Xperia Z2 General] Pandemic:
My biggest wish is:

Stop crying about Lollipop or when it comes or what we even get, you will see what Sony brings to us and they dont rush like others like Samsung to give us a perfect/nice and awesome 5.0.+ update and patients is the keyword but some of ya'll dont have that or never learn to have it !!

+1 cause HTC and Samsung released the update yet HTC One m7 still didn't receive it yet, But when Sony releases it. no matter what it's up and you can just grab the FTF and do whatever you wanna do with it :p

I am calm and calmer than ever. was using CM12 and I loved the animations and all, I never leave Stock that long but I think I used it for about 2-3weeks :D and I came back to Stock thinking that We'll get it this month someday :silly:

Plus Xposed on the way( I meant the stable one) so there's no complaints about it :D I mean everything's gonna happen in a good way. Plus Like [MENTION=4895687]Envious_Data[/MENTION] mentioned we don't this to be like new ACU game. Poor Ubisoft didn't expect that at all.

Firstly, i already made up my mind to buy another brand besides Sony. Even if Lollipop was released last year.

Secondly, You should never promise what you cannot fulfill. Afterall, if Sony had said Lollipop was coming in December of this year 2015, nobody would be asking for it now.

Lastly, DON'T call me ignorant. My money, My decision. Cheers!

They said the BEGINNING of 2015. The Beginning is any time in Q1, Q1 runs until, the end of March. Quit complaining about the update (or at the moment lack thereof), it will be more polished than other OEM's.

Did someone already mention about fast charging enabled? One of the moderator said that this feature is only avaiable on the japanese various version(SO-03f if im not mistake), so im really hope this feature will be included on the next lollipop update. Would be great if u need only 1 hour to charge this device rather then 3-4 hours right? At least 1 and half hour is already enough. Bring it on sony, this chipset is capable of that feature. :fingers-crossed:

*If someone already post about this, im sorry ill delete this post. I dont hv much time to read those previous post. ;)
[Xperia Z2 General] stanley08:
Exactly my point! WE WAIT! Not talks of March, it just makes Sony seem not serious about what they are doing...

[Xperia Z2 General] Pandemic:
See Sony just take thier time to fix the bugs :D

I told ya`ll !! ^^
[Xperia Z2 General] Envious_Data:
The only delays we have had is:

Gingerbread

ICS

JB 4.1

(Fuji Boards n all these 3)

4.4.4 (spesific to Z2)

Lolipop can or cant be slow, because of the redesign in UI the Z2 may be slugish with the New UI but given how long sony is taken they probably patched it already

Games are stil very fast vs UI because of the difference in displaying

Ui is on limited resources and display laters so its more like limitations vs poor hardware

:D i have hope for lolipop knowing this.
