Battery is draining very fast

[Xperia Z2 General] remydlc:
Mine is fine. . Maybe better. Check if you have a rogue app or gps being locked.
[Xperia Z2 General] Brontok:
you are right when it comes to the speaker..I have also experianced better phonecalls. but for me data connectivity was worse than before. anyway, I`m back on kit kat, waiting for 5.1 :D
[Xperia Z2 General] shadyg:
Does anybody answer to my question above? The last time I put a FTF has now been more than 1 year and I do not know if I need fastboot driver, or just ADB driver.

My battery is better then KK. I ll wait till it drains and post some screenshots.
[Xperia Z2 General] n3087:
Flashed it yesterday!

I've had T-Mobile DE Customization before. I didn't loose any settings or data so far. System runs without lags or anything.

Actually it seems, battery is like before on 4.4.4. Bluetooth, wifi, gps, data also worked for me.
[Xperia Z2 General] madshark2009:
I flashed using Flashpoint thought I might give you a feed back

Brightness is a little low even on max, media volume is really really low

Every thing is good, I don't see nothing wrong with battery quite good actually.

Phone feels solid and fast, but I hope there might be a slight upgrade in the official Ota because media volume (in headphones) is really low, Brightness isnt that high, some other here and there bugs that aren't noticeable
[Xperia Z2 General] @soka:
Thank you , :good:

No, unless you unlock your bootloader

i dont want root

after flash can i get ota in future

means system update from update center in future
[Xperia Z2 General] Faisal Z Ahmad:
I flashed it by downloading the firmware from xperifirm and flashed it by flash tool but media volume is a bit lower even on max but a bit better is it normal, anyone having this issue
[Xperia Z2 General] YoungCNYC:
Works great ;)
[Xperia Z2 General] dakunclear:

Hi

I have kk with encryption enabled . So if i flash lollipop baltic will it erase all . And what about sd card data ?
[Xperia Z2 General] pentium1061:
NO. Its a stock rom so dont worry about warranty.
[Xperia Z2 General] Tachikoma_kun:
Nope, I flashed on my encrypted phone and everything was fine. Just remember to untick the wipe options for data and app data as normal.
[Xperia Z2 General] shuhail:
Ohkkk. Thanks bro...
[Xperia Z2 General] Kasazza:
OK!

Then if I understand good, after forcing the update with FLASHTOOL, my device will become in his total behaviour a BALTIC GENERIC one?

After flashtool it will receive OTA Update announcement of new Baltic FW only, or of Italian FW too??

I have got a D6503 bought by WIND ITALY, anyway there is nothing branded Wind on it, even on the package box: it looks alike a Standard Sony One!

May I directly and simply use the Baltic Generic FTF downloaded here on XDA thread, or it's MUCH MORE BETTER if I first Download the unzipped SW via XPERIFIRM and pack it into a new FTF file?

Thanks from ITALY

Telenor SE was said to have Arabic
[Xperia Z2 General] haki.gr:
If you flash the (practically generic) Baltic firmware your device will become totally "Baltic", meaning that you, among the first, will be able to receive the latest Baltic (not Wind-IT) OTA and PC Companion updates, plus you will not lose your warranty privileges. Just keep a backup of all your data, flash the .ftf file with the Flashtool, do a hard reset, set up the phone from the beginning, and enjoy a wonderful Lollipop!

Ciao dalla Grecia!
[Xperia Z2 General] shadyg:
Quick question:

I need other drivers besides those for ADB, to put a FTF on Z2, or must I have the fastboot drivers.

PS: I have not put a on the phone an FTF, from the time when I had Xperia L more than 1 year and I forgot if I need both or just the ADB drivers

Sorry for the offtopic.
[Xperia Z2 General] haki.gr:
To flash with the Flashtool (in Windows 8.1), all I did is connect the device once with the PC Companion. After it was recognized, then the Flashtool recognized it as well.
[Xperia Z2 General] shadyg:
Thanks , so just the ADB driver.
[Xperia Z2 General] Kasazza:
OK!

Now that I' read all the thread, are there any substancial differences between Nordic Combined and Baltic Generic?

I have read something about X-Reality and some other bits: is it true?

Andrea
[Xperia Z2 General] haki.gr:
Before downloading I checked Nordic and Baltic and they were both 1.28 GB (no more details or decimals). This was enough for me to pick Baltic for one reason only...it downloaded faster! :D
[Xperia Z2 General] Kasazza:
My doubts remain, so thanks to a very fast internet line in my HOME I've downloaded by XPERIFIRM both Nordic and Baltic ones

Then I built with Flashtool the two FTF and I noticed 2 things:

1) The Nordic one is 4MB bigger than the Baltic

2) The 2 baltic FTF (the one downloaded and the one built on my PC) are of exact SAME dimensions in bytes (1.428.240.203 byte), but the hash is different in the 2 files!

Now I think that if I have to choose from one of the two BALTIC FTF probably I select the one built on my PC! Correct?

But the main doubt remains the same: Nordic or Baltic???

I would prefer Nordic... but I need a feedback from you!
[Xperia Z2 General] violack:
Function Double tap better more than 4.4.4 or not

i need to know.Who Updated 5.0 Lolipop for Xperia z2...Function Double tap better more than 4.4.4 or not. THX
[Xperia Z2 General] haki.gr:
As I pointed out before, I would download the smallest .ftf file (download speed does NOT depend on your connection but on the server) and flash it. I wouldn't want to make my own .ftf file if one is available on the internet, nor would I try to convince myself that it is more "chic" to have a Nordic firmware on my phone instead of a Baltic one! :cool:
[Xperia Z2 General] Kasazza:
In effect my trouble moment is caused not by thinking if Baltic or Nordic is better than the other one.

It's just because since few months ago I used Samsung Galaxy Device, where for these operations I used (and I used many and many times, for me, for my friends, ecc...) SW Odin, and these operations are easier not because of Odin in itself or of TAR.GZ firmware files.

It's easier because Samsung Galaxy are the most sold Android device in our area, and there are MANY and MANY websites explaining every difficulties you can meet during these operations!

Now I'm pretty new to Sony Devices... except of few days passed months ago on Xperia SP and P.

So I'm reading every single post regarding this new update... To understand every single trouble I may encounter after all!

FOR EXAMPLE

These updates have a "second part release code"

The Nordic one is R5C and Baltic one is R3C... WHY if the two updates are mostly identical?

What does it mean this second release code??

Andrea
[Xperia Z2 General] dkionline:
They have other changes. Baltic have Whats New App on 1st Page, on Nordic is Playstation App on 1st Page. I see nothing more by now.

I only got for the 4g version.

cheers, I need the WiFi 32GB variant though...

EDIT: currently downloading the firmware.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] Xenn0X:
Flashtool has no Z3 tablet profile when creating ftf.

is there a update or?

Edit: added the Z3 and created the FTF. flashing now :)
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] ky3bmu4:
So flashing the so called ftf is an official way to update (besides the waiting gazillion years for OTA of course)?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] Xenn0X:
Yes, with xperifirm i downloaded the nordic firmware and with flashtool i created the TFT and just upgraded my Z3 tablet with only the "wipe cache" option enabled.

All good and running 5.02 now.

uploading to mega now, will post link
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] ky3bmu4:
Thanks for sharing that man. How are the feelings with lollipop?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] Xenn0X:
Works awsome and pretty damn fast, same as my upgraded Z3 phone, stable and speedy :)

Only thing i had to do was remove and reinstall playservices, it was nagging about an update.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] x2srj:
first time I've flashed a Sony device... how did you get round the Create part? I choose a Z3 build as the compact isn't there but I'm not 100% sure what I should be putting?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] Jiyeon90:
when can we expect the ftf file to be up? I got the update through pc companion but it fails to download everytime..
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] Xenn0X:
Yes i am uploading it to mega as we speak :) 30 minutes

== How To add Z3 Tablet Compact to Flashtool ==

- Download Flashtool device folder: SGP6XX folder https://mega.co.nz/#!vNxnzTYY!55KS43vcbaIccXGiqvBluzaAx3_hDp5Xn33c_YnY1PQ

- Open Flashtool first (It checks online for new devices and erases the SGP6XX folder every time)

- unzip the device folder so you have this structure: C:/Flashtool/Devices/SGP6XX

- Flashtool recognises the SGP6XX now

Because of the automatic online check, it deletes the device folder each time and you have to add it again each time. (set device sync to offline to prevent this)

Here is the rom i created from XperiFirm and Flashtool.

[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] x2srj:
cheers for this, I've got the 32GB Variant but although I see the ftf file created when I got to flash it it doesn't appear in the list, just the X10... any ideas?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] Cyberratchet:
I just got my Z3 Tablet. I downloaded Xenn0X ftf file, put it in the correct folder and now I want to flash my device. I connected the tablet to the PC, pressed the flash button and now I have a window which tells me to put the tablet into flashmode. I did that (press volumn down after power button, right?), but nothing’s happening.

Did you install the drivers for flashmode for the Z3 tablet?

I tried that but that didn’t work for me (but I only used the bcdedit method). I’ll try it on my Mac now, and if that should work as well I’ll put my Windows in test mode via the other method.

Hello there.

Long time reader, first time poster.

This device is the first Sony product I've ever rooted. For reference I used this thread: http://xdaforums.com/z3-tablet-compact/development/advanced-stock-kernel-twrp-root-t2959720

While it took quite a while for me to get it right (i'm still new to the whole rooting thing.) I eventually managed to flash TWRP. At time of me writing this I have yet to receive any official notification on the update being available. I'd love to flash it myself but seeing as how this is basically uncharted territory for me, I figured I'd check with you guys. If I where to put one of the files provided in this thread on my device, is it just a matter of flashing it through TWRP like I've done countless times on my phone? (OPO). I apologize if this is a stupid question to ask but I need to be ABSOLUTELY sure I do not mess up.

Thank you for any help you guys might be willing/able to provide :)

[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] madgibbon:
Unless you are in one of the few regions Sony is rolling out Lollipop too the update will not show up. You will need to manually flash the ROM, there are instructions on the first few pages of this post.

I'm really impressed with what Sony have done with Lollipop. Most things have been left as stock and with the Google launcher installed along with Google's apps its almost like a Nexus device. I would even say after spending time with the Nexus 9, performance on the Xperia Z3 tab is better ?
