Thanks :) I didn't want to annoy you again, got a white one [emoji14] I will search for a sound mod thanks again.
[Xperia Z2 General] diecast:
The most annoying thing in lollipop for me is the bad dialer opening animations! Is the only app where i see a bit.of.a lag

'Xperia Z2 power'
[Xperia Z2 General] NetSkill:
Yes True! Dialer is the only thing that lags a little.. Everything else is smooth
[Xperia Z2 General] zaryab360:
Whenever I tried to record video this happened! Help me ! :(
[Xperia Z2 General] saldirai:
and the most annoying thing in lollipop for me is notification settings/interruptions... the way we reach that menu(volume buttons) is so annoying and you cant reach it while playing any kind of audio/video. Sony should give us a second way.
[Xperia Z2 General] pilifida:
Clear cache, dalvik cache and repair it via SEUS or flash a new ROM. If it doesn't works change it through warranty. My phone was replaced because of those camera problems
[Xperia Z2 General] ImS0Raw:
Which icon pack are you using?
[Xperia Z2 General] zaryab360:
Axiom icon pack ?
[Xperia Z2 General] Beat_Nik:
So after about 2 weeks testing of lollipop can't deny it's very smooth but I kinda feel that the battery life was better on kit kat, have some bugs with bluetooth and I liked more the way you could manage your quick access icons in kitkat with more choice and the possiblity to open the corresponding menu.

I guess I'll try again when 5.1.1 is out !!

Recommended Firmware

Hi,

I just wanna ask. I'm from middle-east. Can anyone tell me which firmware is the best firmware that z2 is capable of? Because I'm really interested to update to lollipop. But is it worth to update or i just stay on my 4.4.2.? :confused:

please answer, cause sony only say "update the latest firmware" :eek:
[Xperia Z2 General] beni8978:
After many weeks using lollipop on my Z2 and trying custom roms I finally downgraded to 4.4.2 and what to say

-Multitasking is faster

-Ram management better

-No overheating issues

-Better battery life

-Device feels snappier on 4.4.2

-Faster charging

-Camera feels snappier

-Speaker sound is definitely better.

I hope sony will fix those issues in upcoming lollipop or M builds because the last one .28 is a mess.

Who doesn't believe, just downgrade and you'll see.
[Xperia Z2 General] chesterr:
+1

Couldn't agree more with you, and I know 4.4.2 was sooo smooth and even 4K recording was great,

Which firmware are you using? .312 I think bit snappier.
[Xperia Z2 General] beni8978:
It is .314 that I'm using. Like sony does it in purpose to buy newer devices like Z3 or Z3+

I'm sad that the Z2 isn't supported better but hey that's marketing.

Sony did not included in their lolipop update but u can get that from cross development section. But u need root for that

[Xperia Z2 General] MontyAlHabbash:
u mean there is no Bluetooth unlock or u just forget to activate it ?

sorry but its the main reason i use smartbant
[Xperia Z2 General] earthtk:
Change to purple one looks better cause it's dark coloured Haha..
[Xperia Z2 General] fidasek:
There is Google's stock 'Smart Lock', but it doesn't work like before on KitKat. On KitKat, when you were connected to your SmartBand, you would press power button or double click and device would unlock to homescreen immediately. In Lollipop, that's not the case. When you want to unlock the phone, you need to press the button, swipe AND put pattern or pin in. When you enable 'Smart Lock', you don't have to put pattern in anymore but you still HAVE TO SWIPE. And that's pointless and ridiculous.

You have to clear credentials in security, then you will be able to choose 'none' and 'swipe'.
[Xperia Z2 General] roanmy:
I like the lollipop update, especially the new UI. I did find the new sound settings a bit confusing at first, however.
[Xperia Z2 General] MichaelWT:
So far, my favourite thing is the clock font in the status bar. Perfect.
[Xperia Z2 General] Vic.:
My phone is heating up pretty badly and I'm at 64% battery witj 1h 35m SOT. Am I the only one having these issues?
[Xperia Z2 General] djgigi94:
Very good update!

Pros:

Good battery llife (other oems have in his lollipop a very bad battery life),more reactivity than kitkat,little camera improvent (or is just my immagination?), they make a very confortabilty semi aosp UI,more screen quality than kitkat, no crash or heat problems like others lollipop updates ;)

Cons:

no a good compatibility of particular apps like xposed (for installation of framework i need recovery), is my impression, or in silent mode led doesn't light on notification?(lollipop choices?),low audio notification (i wait a audio mod or a good settings for audio)
[Xperia Z2 General] adryanosss:
[MENTION=4947087]djgigi94[/MENTION] It's not just your imagination. Camera is taking pictures faster than in Kitkat, but I don't know yet if quality it's better. Maybe someone will make some tests.
[Xperia Z2 General] yuskhayru:
I think battery life is abit improved guys. I got 4 hours and 40 minutes screen time on and battery still left 49%. ROFL!

[Xperia Z2 General] zodiac100:
Don't think there's a need to always wipe. Sure clean installs are more reliable than upgrade installations but I flashed baltic firmware without wiping anything and all's well and good here. Noticed a bug where the Google search bar doesn't display properly at times in the recent apps window but that's the only glitch I've noticed and I don't suspect it's due to not wiping as there was no search bar in kitkat recent apps
[Xperia Z2 General] djgigi94:
I notice a better control of focus, a little quality improvent and yes is taking pictures faster ;)
[Xperia Z2 General] zodiac100:
Actually yes I have noticed the delay in accessing the settings menu but to call it unbearable is just so OTT.

Edit..... The lag is gone now. Happened only initially after install but settings opens fast now just like everything else.
[Xperia Z2 General] juanmaasecas:
For me, the best battery life in my z2 BY FAR.

No stamina or other battery savers, no Greenify. Everything stock.

Even lowering voltages with modified kernels, stamina, Greenify, etc with other roms, I've never had such a great battery life. It's awesome.
[Xperia Z2 General] jonathangrag:
The battery life is really better. Changing the color theme the blue statusbar will disappear. The camera is taking pictures faster.

In general, i really liked.
[Xperia Z2 General] Farooq95:
Best theme is white cuz you get a grey status bar. And plus hats off again to Sony For releasing a near bugfree rom..

They might have not released on time but hey they really worked hard for a stable release .
[Xperia Z2 General] PRO>KOMP.<:
All is good, fast and fluid. Only I don't like on lp is we don't have button to close all tabs.
[Xperia Z2 General] ImS0Raw:
It nowhere and it is not needed to kill all tasks.
[Xperia Z2 General] botanicfts:
lol, for me on stock is only 4 hours and phone is dead..
[Xperia Z2 General] PRO>KOMP.<:
YES, i need to kill all tasks. If I open 10 games or programs and why I shuld left tasks I want to kill all tasks.
[Xperia Z2 General] djgigi94:
I notice a another improvent of lollipop . Who notice ,when you unlock the screen, for one second ,the wallpaper become black and then appears? In lollipop,i notice this bug is gone:D Oh i forgot..this bug was only with stock lockscreen ;)
[Xperia Z2 General] ImS0Raw:
Chill dude, why do you need to kill your tasks? It won't benefit with anything. Just look here: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=why+do+you+not+kill+tasks+on+android

Besides this guys battery life has insanely improved for me running all stock without root. (MAX brightness!!!)

[Xperia Z2 General] zodiac100:
It'll all depends on what apps, widgets and general usage there is on the phone.

Screen on time doing what is the question? Battery drains faster while playing games than watching videos. Web browsing especially with chrome is a resource hog.

Battery life will vary from user to user
[Xperia Z2 General] Patrol619:
Anyone know where can I find a wallpaper that is default on M4 Aqua and Z4 Tablet? I know it's there on our Lollipop hidden somewhere (when you create a new user account or sometimes after changing a theme on lockscreen).

Edit: Ok I found it. It is inside lockscreen app, set as a default wallpaper
[Xperia Z2 General] chesterr:
+1 can you name a theme? cause I have all blue and black ones. It actually doesn't do the trick :D
[Xperia Z2 General] adryanosss:
Why we have bugs after so much time we've waited? What is Sony doing?
[Xperia Z2 General] lee480:
There's only one so far: X-reality not working. What's Sony doing? A great job.

and the status bar color problem

---------- Post added at 08:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:34 PM ----------

Phone is charging slower in 5.0.2 than in 4.4.4 .. anyone approve?
[Xperia Z2 General] adryanosss:
Reboot your phone. That solved the problem for me
[Xperia Z2 General] djgigi94:
For me it's the same and color status bar i think is a choose of sony for non material apps
[Xperia Z2 General] doministry:
This grey theme is available in Stock?

Looks so much better than vomit-like blue or purple :)
[Xperia Z2 General] Bn Waheed:
when turning on the ultra stamina mode .. there is a force close message

when you disable the ultra stamina mode .. the phone restarts
[Xperia Z2 General] adryanosss:
The restart is normal. The force close is another bug. [MENTION=4704767]lee480[/MENTION] Only 3 till now. :))
[Xperia Z2 General] Bn Waheed:
Toggle Widgets and image enhancement files are missing

Lock screen top left shows no service although the network is works perfectly

that's all i found in several hours of usage .. don't think there is more
[Xperia Z2 General] HellRoot:
Is there any ways of rooting yet without downgrading or recovery?
[Xperia Z2 General] adryanosss:
That means 4 bugs (toggle, x-reality, status bar and force close when turn on ultra stamina). That's all? I don't want to know when Sony will make a fix. Maybe in 2016? :))
[Xperia Z2 General] NightOrchid:
Ide like to know this too actually.. Any updates to sound at all..

I like Lollipop, it's extremely smooth and looks very nice, I don't mind the blue status bar bug that can always be changed with a theme, and if they get Xposed working we will have unlimited options so I would say it's a none issue.

I like the new lockscreen and love the new notification area.

And no what's new app when you hold home, straight up to Google Now :)

I just can't get over how smooth it is though.

My D6503 is on 17.1.2.A.0.314 with root and locked bootloader.

What would be the best way to upgrade to LP? As far as i could read i cannot update via the official sony app and then root?

I dont need the ability to flash different roms, i just want sony's official update with root to use adblock.

Hello everyone, for me move app to sd card doesn't do anything as previously mentionned. This is sad as i've been waiting for This feature for month.

I have tried to label the sdcard With no Luck. Tried different apps also. Nothing goes to sd but the setting app says it has moved to sd.

I'm on baltic locked bl unrooted With fat32 sd card, do i need to format sd ?

If you change the live wallpaper, your lock screen image will be this. It's the same on my phone :D.

I just updated my phone to the Customized Baltic firmware.. And it gets hot really hot when i played CoC. Hotter than the previous firmware of Kitkat. I have the same issue with X-Reality. I'm not rooted and I don't have plans to do it. i'll just wait for the fix.
[Xperia Z2 General] ImS0Raw:
That is weird, I got no overheating when playing CoC or whatsoever.
[Xperia Z2 General] Sihuca:
well after i tried it for a hours and even that i like it, im gonna rollback to kitkat cause i cant handlea Os without recovery.

By the way that huge tabs apps make it look horrible, i hope niaboc release in the future a eXistenZ Ultimate version for it.

You didn't.

Status bar colour is NOT a bug. It's how it works. Same for the toggle. There's no issue for me.
[Xperia Z2 General] FiDra:
For those who has the No service label, just go to Settings/Mobile Network, change Network mode to another one, then change back to what you preferred.

Now it should show your network operation name.

Hope this help!
[Xperia Z2 General] jonathangrag:
I checked it too and Lollipop is still running in dalvik. Why Sony? :(
[Xperia Z2 General] juanmaasecas:
It's not true, it's running art. You can check it easily going to system/app for example.
[Xperia Z2 General] lee480:
Instead of questioning why Sony, question yourself. Research yourself. Obviously that app is reporting false information. ART is compulsory in Lollipop. And if you bothered to search, someone previously found ART system files in the system.

[Xperia Z2 General] yuskhayru:
Try check the battery usage in power managment, it will show what app is keep draining the battery. Im also having a little battery drain early, but now im pretty sure my phone is going to deep sleep mode very well. Lifelog is one that running in the background until i signout my acc and disable it. Try use cpu spy plus to check wether ur phone truly going deep sleep mode. :fingers-crossed:

edit: *Also i've Greenify installed, and im sure its also help my device to go deep sleep very well.
[Xperia Z2 General] demlanhlung:
I checked the battery usage and it shows that "user" keep awake, that's why my phone is not going to deep sleep mode. Although I've already deleted the new user that I created earlier. :(

[Xperia Z2 General] _delice_doluca_:
For those who think it still runs on Dalvik; ART has the ability to mimmick the way of Dalvik's running for the "old apps" that depend on Dalvik to run. Considering the CPU-Z is searching for an evidence of Dalvik, ART thinks that program needs Dalvik to run and fake it's existence, thus showing us the wrong result.

Wifi Localisation

Hi guys,

I 'm looking for " WiFi geolocation " function , which was able to automatically activate / deactivate WiFi depending on your location. This option was available in the power management parameters.

Any idea where she is hiding?
[Xperia Z2 General] darkylight:
Well so far is awesome, the ui interface is cool.

One thing I noticed that the battery is not as good as the last android version, it's somsomehow not to say bad, but decreasing fast even in stamina mode.

Does anyone having this issue!!!!!

Another thing:

- No close all button for recent apps

- The magnifier that appears when pressing on the word while typing also disappeared.

- xloud no longer found

[Xperia Z2 General] Thewonderboy:
Same problems.

I havent had a full day testing yet but I already noticed this during my morning routine. Usually when I wake up, I watch youtube while preparing to leave to work. Usually after Im done eating and such, the battery is at 94%, today it was 90%. Usually when Im all ready to leave, it sits at 90% but today it was 86%.

Now my battery is at 50% even though at this point it should usually sits at 60-70%. It should be 40-50 when Im back at home....

I'll report in at the end of the day. So far really unimpressed by the update, few good things but this sort of battery drain really sucks, I hope its fixable.....

No slow charging as far as I can tell.

guys, what about your phone battery life on 5.0?

I feel it skeptically, because similar results had on kitkat, with the difference that here, all are stock

13% battery - one hour, much whatsapp, messenger, internet browsing, instagram, snapchat and facebook, My typical daily use.. I do not know why, but it does not show the applications that consume batteries, gsam battery monitor is bugged and shows wrong battery time

this is a good result???

Pros:

1. very fluid

2. the sound during a phonecall was better

Cons:

1. cant set custom lockscreen image ( yes I know I can but the picture is blurry and stretched )

2. cant turn off notifications (phonecalls and messages are ok, but viber, fb messenger etc are always making the phone vibrate, the only way to shut down the notifications completely and still have your alarm clock on is to use priority mode without data enabled )

3. xreality doesnt work

4. data connectivity was way slower ( in my case )

5. settings menu lag ( you must leave it untouched in the recent apps menu if you want it to open faster)

6. brightness was a pain in the arse :) had to turn it all the way up ( had it on auto while using kit kat )

This is my personal opinion, I am not saying that every single user has these issues, so please, if you are sony fanboy, or if you dont respect the opinion of others, keep away from comments :)

Others also reported broken Clear Audio, incorrect network signal notification, force close in stamina mode, etc.
[Xperia Z2 General] zodiac100:
Yeah for me sometimes it appears like the second picture even in portrait mode lol
[Xperia Z2 General] lee480:
2) That's a default Lollipop feature and NOT a bug

3) Doesn't work either

6) You can turn off auto brightness in the settings

Tested Ultra Stamina, no FCs, ClearAudio working great as usual too.
