[Xperia Z1 General] :
What i'm wondering about is why isn't anyone posting the FTF on the General section just like all the previous firmware updates we get

Edit: Found my answer
[Xperia Z1 General] trahzebuck:
You're still wondering about anything on XDA? :silly:

At least nobody started a battery competition until now... the HÄLP please will follow soon. ;)
[Xperia Z1 General] Wiltron:
Oh don't worry, I saw you posting on the 5.1 beta ROM thread :P

I know the limitations and what not, but at the same time, it's a key feature and really, a company as large as Sony who has dwindling mobile sales, you'd think they would put it out so that all device flagships would support it. The kernel is practically the same across all devices, so why not release a driver for it and let us go to town on it. They're already very integrated with the development side of us, more so than any other company.

Give us the driver Sony and let us tweak it for you. We're here. We work for nearly free.
[Xperia Z1 General] [Fenix]:
I know the feeling and you're completely right, but you know, at our days, companies look at money, not at consumers.

The hope for consumers that look at new features for "old" devices (called old for the companies) are developers.

From sony we can expect software (until the device is maintained) and app updates.

To make it clear this is for all companies, not a criticism against sony :)

Finally, yes new camera api will come, but it will take time ;)
[Xperia Z1 General] thunderising:
I'm just waiting for the firmware to be released. Hoping that it's stable and bug-free :)
[Xperia Z1 General] NamenIos:
The S6 and the M9 do not have the full API 2, only a small subset of it.
[Xperia Z1 General] t1mman:
For Christ's Sake, start a freaking topic about how you hate or love the camera button and shove it already....

This is about lollipop, and the update won't make a hardware button disapear no matter how good it is... just put a tape over it if you hate it so much....

Now, any news about the update?
[Xperia Z1 General] yoorie016:
Lolliperxia Z1!

I hope this update will release next week! (Either April 1 or April 3) Just like the Z3 after its certification from PTCRB which after one week, the updates were released. :D

---------- Post added at 09:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:32 PM ----------

Hopefully they release it by early first week of April! :D
[Xperia Z1 General] Gamer4Life:
guys, what about the ghost touch and screen sensitivity ?
[Xperia Z1 General] hasn4179:
Yup, there was a canadian carrier which also hinted at the release of lollipop for z1 in april, i guess it will be available by the end of the next week...

and no matter how people will say "Sony didnt introduce anything new except the ui and blablabla", it is the ui which affects our mobile experience the most, so i will be happy for lollipop, and cheer for the devs who will try their best in porting extra stuff :fingers-crossed:

---------- Post added at 06:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:53 PM ----------

I think it is really hardware related, specially screen sensitivity

i did come across ghost touch in the past, but its been sometime since that problem appeared

maybe try backup useful data and do a full wipe?

because with time, so much junk starts to clutter in the storage.
[Xperia Z1 General] wedgess:
This thread is about the device getting Lollipop not about the devices hardware. I've cleaned over 20 posts unrelated to the topic of the OP. Please get back on topic.

I think that ART is the biggest thing in Lollipop, since KitKat came ART-less on xperias.
[Xperia Z1 General] metalslugxx:
Still waiting for the update to be available....
[Xperia Z1 General] Snaqejack:
One of the biggest things for me in Lollipop is the Smart Lock function, i tried it out in CM12 and i really liked it.

And a new UI doesnt hurt either.

Let´s hope for a release early next week.
[Xperia Z1 General] DorianX:
Exactly [emoji106] and Kit Kat is very smooth on our Z1 without ART I just imagine my Z1 running Lollipop... Will be a flagship for long time [emoji3]

NUT fixed its kernel autobuilder and I managed to build a kernel for

UNLOCKED

bootloaders.

Here: http://nut.xperia-files.com/?ql=b2525a8691ad7565bc51be126bad65e55fee35a9

Contains dual recovery and boots perfectly.

hi guys

need a push in right direction

I have c6902 bootloader unlocked,

right now with lollipop i wanna start fresh

so would relock my bootloader unroot and stuff reset on kitkat,

then maybe OTA or from PC companion or flash FTF if possible

then in lollipop i wanna root with locked bootloader

possible?

thanks :)
[Xperia Z1 General] yoorie016:
Are there any method that i can download faster from xperiafirm? i just want to download the Philippine version of lollipop. Is there any difference with the other regions?
[Xperia Z1 General] deconfrost:
for locked bootloader?
[Xperia Z1 General] CappyT:
Of course not, it's for unlocked. It's a custom kernel.

For locked, you need an update ZIP.

They posted a bunch some posts back in this thread.
[Xperia Z1 General] deconfrost:
need to edit the post so, the one you posted says locked bootloader, thats why I ask

I posted a update zip, haven't try it yet as my phone is in use
[Xperia Z1 General] CappyT:
LOL, you're right...

And I think i need to sleep after.

[Xperia Z1 General] deconfrost:
haha, sleep always helps :D

we certainly not sleeping enough due to this hobby :D
[Xperia Z1 General] schickel:
It's a flashable zip. But without recovery it would be not so easy to flash this. I think that I must fastboot any kernel with working recovery and after this flash again the NUTs kernel...
[Xperia Z1 General] CappyT:
Just fastboot any 4.4.4 kernel, then flash this.

Job done.

but the camera launches MUCH, MUCH faster than on 4.4.4. at least on my phone. so far I'm happy with the update, everything works smooth. one thing I don't like - the phone app. I preferred the one that was in previous version, where I could swipe left/right to the contacts. other than that - everything's perfect.

Hi,

Has anyone from France (or Europe) already got the update?
[Xperia Z1 General] yasstou:
I just updated my phone using CUSTIMIZED MEA !! it's really really fast :D

new things :

- 1080p 60 fps video recording.

- Ultra stamia mode.

- The ability to choose which headset you have in walkman settings .It changes drastically the sound quality !! I like it :D

- X-REALITY seams to be working which is nice considering the Build in Z3 don't !

- No emergency call only in lock screen like in Z3

- and VERY VERY fluid animations and performance overall !!

one thing I noticed is despite the removal of X-LOUD the speaker sound and quality are the same ! (plz confirm )
