Flashed my C6603 device to NCB yesterday and everything's working perfectly. It's amazingly smooth and fast. Sometimes I get the feeling I don't even have to touch the screen, like it's reading my mind... :D

But (there's always a "but") one thing's bothering me and it's battery drain. I'm gonna see how it behaves in the next couple of days, it wouldn't be the first time my device needs more time to settle down after updating...

P.S. When I flashed it, I checked all in the WIPE section in order to have a clean install. And after the first startup I performed a "Factory Data Reset" as well... :good:

Use prerooted flashable.zip, there will be no battery drains. I'm on it and after 1,5 day battery drop from 100% to 77%. Good optimize, system apps remove etc. is the key for long battery life.
[Xperia Z General] VSOP17:
Thank you my friend, but this is something new for me (with my modest knowledge) and I need to "study" this first. Then after a couple of days, maybe I'll courage myself to do it... :D

It's one step at a time for me as I've just learned about "simple" flashing 2-3 days ago... :D
[Xperia Z General] DrJoint1991:
It's not that hard as it looks. Simply follow the steps and you'll make it :)

Good luck. Tmo USA is still back on 4.3. I don't think they will ever even release 4.4.4. Flash the C6616 ROM and enjoy your LTE.

Can anyone direct me to a prerooted lollipop ftf for C6602 which I can flash via flashtool? The one I could find was via recovery and I'm unable to flash without a bootloop.
[Xperia Z General] St.Jimmy90:
You can't flash .zip files with flashtool. You need a recovery for it. Downgrade to 4.4.2, root it and search for a recovery for locked bootloaders.

Anyway, I'll probably see what Lollipop is like for Z and if ot sucks, I'm moving on. Being stuck with not unlockable bootloader for so long is a pain.

A week ago I bought a set of 4 covers from replacebase for £5.96 (plus £1 for shipping). They look like original Sony ones. It does say "Original" on their page, so they really might be. And if they aren't, I couldn't tell. They fit perfectly and the color is right, quality is good as well. Anyway, this is going off topic.

Xperia Z on Lollipop: First purported screenshot leaks

Xperia Z on Lollipop: First purported screenshot leaks

The screenshot you see below is claimed to be the first showing Android 5.0.2 Lollipop on the original Xperia Z (C6603). It shows that the handset is running on the 3.4 kernel and with a build number starting with 10.6.A.0. This would fit given the currently released firmware with build 10.5.1.A.0.292 i.e. the move from 10.5 to 10.6. Obviously the screenshot could be a fake, but hopefully it indicates the Lollipop update for older Xperia Z series is just around the corner.

[Xperia Z General] Okluzhion:
If 5.0.2 really is that bad and with it being the last official update for the Z, this reminds me of the case with Xperia Arc/Arc S that were stuck on ICS, which was just a "test" version for JB. I remember those Ice Cream Sandwich days. They sure weren't pleasant at all. The system was laggy as hell and was generally a downgrade to GB performance.

Sent from my eXposed C6603
[Xperia Z General] langeveld024:
Same news and source as all the other links in this thread
[Xperia Z General] alexvv:
ICS was the first "heavy" android and neo, neo v, arc etc were not really capable of handling it. Shortly after we had dual core cpus and 768 ram, far more capable. The z has more than enough power for any android version. So hopefully 5.0.2 with a factory reset will be more than ok for our z to run smoothly. (i had a neo v with ics and it was a constant lag, I switched to a custom rom shortly after).
[Xperia Z General] SzczYpior_n1:
So that the situation does not repeat what the Xperia P (unrepaxired and abandoned bugs).

Wysłane z mojego C6603
[Xperia Z General] Akinaro:
well, no matter what, if its 5.0.2 really get ready for memory leaks and problems with google service... no matter what you think, I can ensure you that 80% of problems you gonna see in next few months in help section gonna be about it(i have lags! bla bla bla, too much FC app, bla bla bla cant load! bla bla bla....) :]

I really dont like KitKat, and i used LP in other devices and also I didnt like it. But I wait for this update just to check how its work. I would go back to 4.3 or even 4.2 but for now I use phone too often to mess with flashing new system.
[Xperia Z General] ninjy:
Why don't you like 4.4.4? Personally I have good battery life and performance. I'm happy with it and afraid with LP under 5.1.
[Xperia Z General] Okluzhion:
[MENTION=5065300]alexvv[/MENTION] ICS was junk. It wasn't optimized at all, and generally was forgotten pretty quickly. I still have my Arc which I flashed with SlimKat 4.4.4 and it definitely runs better than ICS ever had.

Anyway, I think the hype is too great, so when Lollipop comes, it will leave many people disappointed. There seems to be too many problems with 5.0.2 which Google decided to fix in 5.1.1. And that sucks for us.

Sent from my eXposed C6603
[Xperia Z General] alexvv:
A friend's of mine nexus 5 runs 5.1 and the issues remain.. So it's probably not the android version itself that fixes the lollipop issues but the oem. And don't forget that sadly kitkat had battery issues too and z was seriously affected. I believe that there is a lot to get excited about lollipop but as you say I really hope the update will be good, cause it will be the last out z gets.
[Xperia Z General] Zenns:
I honestly cant wait for 5.0.2, I wont care if it is 5.1 or 5.1.1 since It is only a minors changes and bug fixes and besides the phone is already 2 years plus and sony promised a update especially for a chipset that is already outdated and no one cares about so yeah :) we all can wait for the update to happen. suggestion use Z till it dies and get another flagship maybe Z4 :)
[Xperia Z General] Akinaro:
Z4 is just for Japanese market, in rest of the world, this model gonna be called z3+ or something like that.

As far as I know next Xperia flagship gonna have new naming.

Dunno if its 100% true but most of sources say that.
[Xperia Z General] NamenIos:
When I search for either the Xperia Z models (C6602, C6603, C6606) or the Xperia ZL models (C6502, C6503, C6506) in the PTCRB database there is no certfied build. Has there ever been a release that was not certified 1.5 to 3 weeks prior to the first FTF/OTA etc. ? I don't think so. So I really doubt the update will be released this or the next week. This is bullshi.. from customer support that has no clue.
[Xperia Z General] Pablosch23:
customer support? i trust gbil like i did before and he was right just waint and stop whining about it
[Xperia Z General] doby_p:
I think you're right, new builds always get certified by the PTCRB a week or more before rollout. That was certainly the case for all the other Z series phones that have already received lollipop.

It'll be interesting to see Vodafone Australia's latest weekly firmware update (due in the next 24 hours) to see if they've received the build for testing. The last update from the 30th April states it is due in early May. If they have received it we should expect PTCRB certification imminently, if not, we're just going to have to wait...

I'm wondering if the firmware team have prioritized bug fixes for the already released lollipop builds which will then be incorporated into the original Z series before an initial rollout.

After all, communication from Sony has been non existent in recent weeks apart from Sony Philippines and even they had to correct themselves. Its not like people haven't been asking either, hundreds of tweets are being ignored to a variety of Sony/Xperia owned twitter accounts. Its not exactly reassuring.
[Xperia Z General] NamenIos:
I don't really get what you want to tell. a) I am not whining, I am pointing out that we should not expect a release this or the coming week, despite some local customer guy in the Philippines said so. b) the only thing gbil said about the timing is from a week ago and does not contradict my statement:

Did you even get my intention of my post? I wanted to spare the people the disappointment when the update will not surface till next week.

How likely is it that they've just dropped 5.0.1 and instead opted to roll out 5.1? Long wait incoming..?
[Xperia Z General] Akinaro:
Heh, I thing its about Z ultra :]

Mostly because problem is similar to z1 and z1c and all of them have the same hardware. And because it would be unreal if Z would get 5.1 when some newer devices still have 5.0.1
