I have been testing the LP rom since I installed it on my D6503 (Z2) to debug XZDR on LP, there are some annoying bugs still in the ROM which I encounter during day to day usage:

The sound system stops functioning at random without any error messages, a full reboot is the only fix.

The Calendar app will start a notification sound for an appointment but it will fail to STOP that alarm from sounding when you suspend or ignore the warning. Again, a full reboot is the only way to fix this...

The notification area on the lock screen will show you that the dialer app is active, all the time, not just when you have missed a call.

Some widgets will at some point be removed, without warning or valid reason or any kind of plausible reason.

There are quite some improvements too, one of them is the WiFi, the driver actually does not crash anymore from what I can tell, on the other hand, the other bugs prevent me to reach more then a 24h uptime on the device, so maybe it has not yet reached the breaking point...

My car kit (integrated in the car audio system -Peugeot 208-, can not be changed!) can now actually dial a specialized number I use to control a gate at work, but the last 3 or 4 digits in the number get ignored completely. This was working PERFECTLY on the original ROM with which the device was released but broke gradually on subsequent ROM versions to eventually completely break on the last KK ROM. This is not the dialer app from what I could find out, but the BT call handling stack breaking in increments and eventually getting fixed a fair bit in the LP ROM.

All things considered, it's a nice ROM, but it has it's flaws, which I hope will get ironed out soon.
[Xperia Z2 General] ImS0Raw:
The sound system works fine here, no problems here. Calendar app works fine for me, I love the new UI that came along with the update. Also no problems here with the notification area. Also widgets aren't getting removed here at some point. If these are bugs I should encounter them too right, but I don't. Try reflashing your ROM with a full wipe. Even your internal memory. (If you haven't thought about it yet, maybe I misunderstood something ghehe)

About the carkit, I'm not using any kind of carkit so no reply about that from me :) I hope you can get your problems fixed.
[Xperia Z2 General] [NUT]:
Well, put a ringtone on your internal storage or sdcard in a folder called Alarm, Notification or Ringtone and use that in the calendar app. That's how I have mine configured.

Besides, the issues can also be caused by other things which make for a different combination of settings and actions. Might be some apps on my phone colliding with each other breaking the sound system.

I did a full wipe at some point during my debugging to try and fix something else, the problem of the ring tone remained after that. Actually, it happened again only 40 minutes after the factory reset/wipe.
[Xperia Z2 General] ImS0Raw:
Thanks for the information I will try it out and report the outcome :)
[Xperia Z2 General] ayham96:
Due to huge battery drain and slow in charging.. I'm going back to kitkat ?

Is there any solution for these two problems?

Sent From My Z2 On LP 5.0.2 Full Debloated !
[Xperia Z2 General] JRBT24:
Quick question. You mentioned titanium backup? Does that mean you are unlocked bootloader also? People are reporting errors with titanium backup with locked bootloader, and is the only thing keeping me from switching to 5.0 :(
[Xperia Z2 General] sandulea:
No, I'm on locked bootloader, and I never unlocked it nor do I plan to. I was surprised, I read in the first post in Niaboc's thread that Titanium Backup doesn't work, but I had no issue with it, I uninstalled and froze apps, did backups and restores, and restored apps from Nandroid backups of 4.4.2 and 4.4.4.
[Xperia Z2 General] JRBT24:
I'm assuming this is a clean wipe, yes? No problem for me to do so though as long as TB works

Thank you and I think I'll be switching to LP now :)
[Xperia Z2 General] Brontok:
I assume you dont use mobile data ? its hard to believe that our phone can hit 8h SOT..mine tops at 5.30h.
[Xperia Z2 General] Farooq95:
I flashed only the modem of KitKat ftf , it seems to help with the battery life.
[Xperia Z2 General] sandulea:
I do, but I always switch it off when not using it, and I'm on 2g most of the time, switching to 3/4g only when turning data on.

As for SOT, I've perfected my method and habits for some years now, over a few phones. The goal has always been one charge a week, like in the old days with my Nokias, and with the Note 2 and Z2 I succeeded regularly, though it was harder with the Samsung. Apart from the daily calls and texts, I read the news daily and choose and mark routes for bike riding every other day(all offline maps, no internet or GPS used), with pics during riding. Some Teamviewer every now and then, and a crossword app. No social networks, no apps that sync in the background. Email is just manual sync. The only ones that do sync without intervention are Play store with update notifications and the banking app, otherwise the phone sleeps soundly when not in use. There are loads of other apps on board, but this is my weekly routine, other apps have specific uses and get used rarely. I usually charge it at 14-15%, but I let it drop to 8 when I got the 8h 46 personal best, trying to go for the whole 9 hours.

The result? A SOT never lower than 5h, on a weekly charge. It's certainly not a performance than an always-connected type of individual can hope to achieve, though.
[Xperia Z2 General] Brontok:
I have my data always on.. viber, fb, fb messenger, pik (similar to amazon) are alway ON aswell..weather and email are refreshed manually.. and I play clash of kings every now and then :)
[Xperia Z2 General] nomaj:
Man for what you are doing - there is easier way - just turn on UltraStaminaMode... =)

I've flashed Baltic Generic 23.1.A.0.690 ftf. Now my noise cancelling headphone MDR-NC31E isn't working. Comes sound from only left sided earbud. Headphone has no problem as it works fine in other handsets or pc. And other headphone also works fine in my D6503. Is it a bug of the stock rom? Any solutions? Plzz help
[Xperia Z2 General] Stalkalainen:
I had this problem on 4.4.4 and for me was a fault with the headphone jack when using that Headset.

I had to twiddle the jack in the socket to get noise coming from both. Due to this I haven't used them since.

As soon as I get time to flash this on my phone I will, as a stop gap I will test my headset on my 690 Z3TC.
[Xperia Z2 General] hasib_kst:

Im facing a very ugly issue with this firmware its Nordic lollipop where the keyboard slides down and all interaction with apps just stops but you can slide down the notification drop down slider and you can enter the menu but cant enter or scroll options and its possible to send current screen to background but not open new apps or open apps menu and the task switcher just shows open apps but cant scroll switch or kill any open app and when you long press power and cancel the screen stays dimmed for a while like it was when power options were onscreen !

its a total disaster that can only be solved with a restart and i hate my phone now !

Vodafone

Vodafone Australia today announced that testing for both Z2 & Z3 failed and they are waiting for a new firmware, probably it's this firmware failed their initial testing . I think this is why Sony hasn't release this update to rest of the world as usual..
[Xperia Z2 General] bdithug:
http://www.vcpost.com/articles/5302...lollipop-release-update-sony-xperia-z3-z2.htm

Hope this is true. Would make sense why Sony is planning on just rolling out the bugged 5.0.2 firmware. It will just be updated later this month to 5.1 (let's hope)

Would love to know what the F... is going on with my Z2 Lollipop.

[Xperia Z2 General] bdithug:
Maybe the z1 skips 5.0.2 altogether and goes straight to 5.1? I don't know. Just posting links and thoughts / possibilities. I don't see another reason why Sony would roll out 5.0.2 to 2 regions 2 weeks ago, then sit on their thumbs until next week.
[Xperia Z2 General] chesterr:
Which KK firmware did you guys use?
[Xperia Z2 General] hazefully:
I just tried it now, KitKat modem on lollipop works for me too, will report if it helps with battery.

I was having the problem of many apps like facebook having too much battery usage due to "Mobile Radio Active".

I used the nordic combined ftf file 23.0.1.A.0.167, excluded everything but baseband and unchecked wipe data but left the option to wipe the cache and the appslog enabled.
[Xperia Z2 General] Koostis:
Chrome has been my biggest battery eater since I upgraded to lollipop, why is this happening?
[Xperia Z2 General] kamalmawa:
Lollipop got some strange issue of Mobile radio active battery drain while the screen off. I had the same issue with Facebook app. It was draining battery with Mobile radio active. Freezing the app using greenify didn't help either. Bit of a googleing showed some nexus users also having the same issue. After the last Facebook update few days ago my problem seems to be gone.

Anyone having issues with video playback and/or video capture on the .690 release?

I upgraded to the .690 Nordic release (made an FTF and flashed, didn't wipe/factory reset), battery life is good, no noticable difference from the previous version (.167), but the camera and video playback is not good. After powering on the phone, it works for a while, but it will randomly stop working. Videos in Chrome, Facebook videos (in the app), video capture, video playback in Movies/Photos, the Youtube app, nothing works; they all fail with various error messages that the video cannot be played. The camera crashes when trying to record video. If I restart the phone it works again, at least for a while.

I've got logcats of working playback and failing playback so I can try to pinpoint where the issue is, but I haven't had the time to look through them yet.

I'm expecting a "do a full wipe" response, but wiping and getting the phone back to "normal" configuration is a major pain in the ass, so I was hoping to avoid that.

For reference, the phone has an unlocked bootloader, stock kernel with TWRP and rooted.
[Xperia Z2 General] _mysiak_:
Happens to me with Stamina mode enabled. It starts at random interval after few hours and disappears after reboot. With Stamina mode disabled I never encountered this issue. I haven't noticed any difference in battery life with/without Stamina, so I just stopped using it.

Unlocked bootloader, rooted, DRM patch applied (issue appears also without it) and advanced stock kernel with TWRP.
[Xperia Z2 General] Einride:
Cheers, mysiak! I've hardly ever used Stamina mode, so I doubt it's somehow been enabled, but I'll toggle it on and off again to give it a try.

Probably off-topic, but what's this DRM patch you mention?
[Xperia Z2 General] _mysiak_:
[MENTION=2932798]Einride[/MENTION] - DRM patch restores features which don't work with unlocked bootloader (x-reality, super vivid mode and Bionz - high quality noise removal from high ISO photos). I have identified 2 side effects though - 4G/LTE doesn't work at all and sometimes Google play shows "no connection", but after "retry" it's fine.
[Xperia Z2 General] nreuge:
4G does not work for me either... Do you think that is related to UB ?
[Xperia Z2 General] _mysiak_:
4G works fine for me without DRM patch, it stops working right after applying DRM fix.. But as I prefer nicer photos and never used 4G in real life, I choose DRM fix :) Would be nice to have DRM without side effects though.
[Xperia Z2 General] zakariachelsea:

[Xperia Z2 General] apoloza:
Mine kinda started to heat up fast and is kinda laggy after the update.. :/

maybe because I updated it with Pc Companion?
[Xperia Z2 General] chesterr:
I managed to create a pre-rooted firmware with using the 3.6a and yea the recoveries don't work I guess it's because of the new way of files are arranged in system. Like everything is on folders lol

Anyways Is it me or you guys are having the same problem of getting all of the Sony apps crashing like walkman and album etc...

or is it because of DRM restoration file?
[Xperia Z2 General] fidasek:
I would've been ok with the update if there were not that stupid lockscreen. One of the things I liked about my SmartBand was ability to disable lockscreen when it's in reach, so pressing power button or double clicking would bring me directly to the homescreen. Now in Lollipop, even then I have to swipe from the lockscreen, which makes it completely useless and it will be the reason I'll move back to 4.4.4. :(
[Xperia Z2 General] josephnero:
always wipe
[Xperia Z2 General] earthtk:
I think there is something called trusted device security settings.
[Xperia Z2 General] arash.mid:
some z3 owners reported slow charging . is that true?!
[Xperia Z2 General] fidasek:
Of course, that doesn't let you unlock the screen immediately, as you have to swipe first and then put password/pattern. Thus, you don't have to do the latter, but you still have to swipe to unlock it. Cannot imagine what Google were thinking when they changed it so you have to do one precious swipe more, that's ridiculous, just multiply it by the number of unlocks per day... It's even listed as an issue on AOSP forum and it is maybe the most starred issue of Lollipop. Ludicruous.

not in my case..it even seems faster.

Move to Sd not moving anything to SD

I tried to move some apps to SD card in lollipop, but after it is done and saying in settings that it is moved, actually no files are being copied to my SD card. Could someone check if it works for him/her, and if yes where are the files being copied on the SD card?

Of course I can't update until I get home to my wifi. Can anyone confirm whether Sony increased the notification volume, speaker phone volume, call volume, etc? And is art runtime supported? Thanks
[Xperia Z2 General] paulson881:
just did a quick check, yes it has moved to ART. For volume, I use my phone as hi-fi to listen to music. I don't know abt notification volume but definitely SMALLER volumes on speaker and call volume than 4.4.4
[Xperia Z2 General] Bn Waheed:
Kernel 3.4.0 .. why sony didn't update the kernel?
[Xperia Z2 General] chesterr:
Oh wow I just noticed the blue status bar on every app and I'm not fond of it at all. I thought google made it pretty clear on immersive mode and they just go and paste an ugly blue status bar.

Lollipop just came to my polish Z2.

Updating in 1 hour :D
[Xperia Z2 General] doministry:
It's late so I have no energy ATM....

There are some changes which I hate ATM:

1. No Mobile data toggle in the dropdown shortcuts. Completely idiotic.

2. Smses are totaly too narrow an look bad when I read them.

3. I have a problem deleting smses. Deleting the thread - even short - takes AGES! The app gets stuck.

4. Weather widget doesn't allow setting update interval. WTF.

5. No settings widgets on homescreen anymore.

So far I don't like it in this regard.

More tomorrow.

The UI is controversial. The top bar changing colour is naive and childish.

The same with some other UI elements which look much worse now.
[Xperia Z2 General] sems4arsenal:
There is a mobile data toggle, try re-adding it from the icon between the setting and the battery in the dropdown.

Try the google hangouts app instead of the messaging app.

Impressions: Love it so far, screen pinning is usefull and will be trying out priority mode, my gripes are I have to unlock by swiping up and the no clear all button.
[Xperia Z2 General] doministry:
Yes there is a mobile data toggle!

I missed it. I'm sorry.

As for Hangouts, NO. I disabled this. I want sms, not another internet messenger.

ANYWAY, first impressions:

Things I don't like:

The new signal and WiFi bars (look **** to me), the multicoloured top bars which are DIFFFERENT than the bottom black one.

SMS takes ages to delete the thread.

XReality doesn't work at all.

Weather widget tries to update in the background - I cannot set the time for updates.

Updates Centre is replaced by this What's New app (not that bad, but it's bloatware).

Some UI elements which had this beautiful Sony feel, are gone. Now they're flat and ugly, pretending to be modern = for kids.

This tendency is not nice for me. It's disgusting.

Some desing decisions are screaming:

The DIMMED lockscreen wallpaper.

The lockscreen album art replaces my beautiful wallpaper while playing the music WTF?

Lockscreen music player has only FORWARD, no BACKWARD. WTF?

Where are lockscreen widgets?

After the upgrade Voice Mail number was gone.

SMS text is so narrow that it's really crap to read.

And some device's settings were changed after the upgrade :(

Black keyboard looks worse than before.

Calendar looks like a straight rip off latest iOS - it's embarassing.

What I like :):

It's very snappy and fast.

Opposite to some reports, there is a full control over sound/mute/vibrate.

I like added settings here and there.

Some UI elements are much better and cleaner.

I like the calendar and all the apps - they look better.

I think like this new notifications/pull down shortcuts look.

Double finger works - you can still pull down the sett. shortcuts by one swipe.

Camera is very good. Looks like ISO control woks even better.

Lockscreen notifications are sweet.

I like new clocks.

Multitasking menu looks sweet too.

More to come :)

Suming it up:

Good update. Some recent Google/Sony philosophy especially in design is not great for me.

But still, the OS seems great and fresh.

Led notification doesn't work if you're in silent mode, in vibrating mode it works, I'm not sure if we're to blame Sony or Google for that.

As for lockscreen music player only allowing to go forward, swipe the screen down and you have full control. And there's no point in lockscreen widgets due to the fact that we've got lockscreen notifications which do the same thing but better.
[Xperia Z2 General] akairingo:
