Any news??
[Xperia Z2 General] Steve3581:
Still no z2 variants uploaded... perhaps later today...?
[Xperia Z2 General] Destroyedbeauty:
It arrives when it arrives.
[Xperia Z2 General] saeed-constantine:
Why sony blog said its released!!!
[Xperia Z2 General] gazza35:
But. 570 is certified now, so will they hold off for the Z2 to release that in 2 week or will they give us 546, personally I like to have root, recovery and xposed, I'm still on 4.4.4, so I'll wait until everyone's tested 5.1 before I decide, I use wifi tether a lot, and that's why I still use kk, doesn't work on Lp, maybe it'll be fixed on 5.1, roll on milkshake.
[Xperia Z2 General] Rajeev:
Wifi tethering works without any problems here in 5.0.2
[Xperia Z2 General] jimbo77:
Root, Recovery and Xposed working flawlessly here in 5.0.2 also. I have to mention i have an unlocked bootloader but relocked it for the camera quality and everything works too :)
[Xperia Z2 General] gazza35:
Ahhh OK, I'm on Lb, I really don't want to unlock it tbh, I have my drm backed up, but on lb lollipop I can't get tether to work, even on KK I can only use built in tethering on ch. 1, won't let me use 3rd party app to change channel.
[Xperia Z2 General] Rajeev:
I am also in a LB. Since 5.0.2 release
[Xperia Z2 General] Haldi4803:
About 60gb without problems :)

But damn 4g and Hotspot sure drains the battery... Didnt even last 4 hours.
[Xperia Z2 General] dani010:
guys why there isnt any news about z2 update rolls out ??? sony blogs said that it started but till now nothing ...
[Xperia Z2 General] gamer649:
It looks like they are trying to roll it out for the Z3 (+?) (compact?) (starting with Nordic and Baltic first and then moving on to other countries). Once they have enough places seeded for the Z3 (+?) (compact?) they will start on the Z2. We are now the 3rd phone in the line to be updated.
[Xperia Z2 General] BlAckXpeRia:
You don't need to relock for camera. There is a DRM function restoration thread in the Cross-device section. I can't stand stock kernel.
[Xperia Z2 General] n3087:
It's funny...

Sony Site tells me, the actual Version for Z2 is 23.4.A.0.546...

http://support.sonymobile.com/global-en/xperiaz2/software/

XperiFirm tells me, the newest Version on any Market is 23.2.A.1.62... (T-Mobile Customized)
[Xperia Z2 General] gazza35:
Yep, no 5.1 on Z2 as yet, it's due this weekend I think because most of the z3 family has now received updates around central Europe and the far east, but experience tells me the UK especially are usually the last to get updates ?, but soon my friend, keep checking xperifirm.
[Xperia Z2 General] dani010:
Yeah i think they forgot to release update for us:D because in sony blogs said that update starated for ua
[Xperia Z2 General] Steve3581:
The week has still not technically finished ;)

It's everywhere the same...

Just not define an exact day...
[Xperia Z2 General] gork1975:
Malaysia got it?

Just read on gplus that someone from Malaysia got the update. I changed my customization to the Malaysian region code and now PC Companion Shows there is an update available.. Just download and try. Will give more Info when it's done.
[Xperia Z2 General] antkalaitzakis96:
oh cool :D let us know when you know if it's 5.1!
[Xperia Z2 General] dani010:

Youre right. :) Just downloadet 1.4 GB with my very slow connection to put the malaysian 5.02 on my phone. I don´t know why there is an "update" if that isn´t an update at all??

Sorry [MENTION=535343]all[/MENTION] for making you nervous :)
[Xperia Z2 General] RedSkyRoad:
The Z3 has not even rolled out to halfway, we'll not see 5.1 before the end of next week...
[Xperia Z2 General] MTechRD:
I don't understand why always is the same sh@@ with Sony and their updates and too many speculation... I tired ? I want 5.1

I'm going to cry ?

I imagine it will be a week or 2 at the most.
[Xperia Z2 General] zegun:
Tried 5.1.1 on my friend's Z3c

It's much smoother -- scrolling, animations, response etc.

Battery life is also reportedly improved by quite a lot
[Xperia Z2 General] Rajeev:
You are Teasing me alot.. :(:(:(:(
[Xperia Z2 General] zegun:
Haha

Sony said something about improved Superior Auto, but i haven't tried it yet.

Also i see no new features worth mentioning except some slight changes in icons inside Settings
[Xperia Z2 General] diecast:
Pure tease! I hope the same will happen with our Z2! Especially the animations which are heavy right now! The animations and transitions in kitkat were a lot snappier

i mean, its all ok with the time of update release, they can announce it when they want. but if they are not gonna upload it to our z2 divices, so just dont announce in official support page at 21th july!!!!!!!!!!!! fkng idiotsssssss
[Xperia Z2 General] dani010:
Exactly , i completly agree with you
[Xperia Z2 General] Krrca:
Exactly, I can't beleive that they announced it 7 days ago and still nothing! I hope it will be ASAP because I found on some sites they said that updates will be rolled out for Z2 and Z3 during this week.
[Xperia Z2 General] elijhahill:
they begin release in Vodafone's HU IE PT and Ro :good:
[Xperia Z2 General] yakuzainlove:
It's released at Hungary, Romania, Ireland and Portugal with Vodafone operator.
[Xperia Z2 General] epypro:
ok , thats so good... sry for my ignorance.

what version do we spect? Nordic? baltic? i dont want any branded rom.

what happen if i flash the "vodafone" one? will have its own boot logo, and its own apps?
[Xperia Z2 General] antkalaitzakis96:
yes, it will have bloatware, better wait some more hours until a generic/customized got released :)
[Xperia Z2 General] epypro:
ok... u mean baltic and nordic?

whats the difference between generic and customized?

cheers
[Xperia Z2 General] antkalaitzakis96:
Baltic/Nordic/GR/DE/IT every country.

Generic and customized firmwares are having less bloatware since it's every's country release, not a specific carrier.
[Xperia Z2 General] epypro:
Ahhhhh ok. i understand... so. i live in southamerica (argentina, not brazil)... any suggestion for version?

i care about the comunnication bands (2g, 3g, 4g). and signal strenght... or all are the same in that fact?
[Xperia Z2 General] antkalaitzakis96:
what's your Z2 model? D6503 or D6543?
[Xperia Z2 General] epypro:
D6503
[Xperia Z2 General] antkalaitzakis96:
Then you can flash any D6503 firmware without any problem on signal reception :)
[Xperia Z2 General] AttilaGolik:
If .546 released for Vodafone maybe we will get the .570 for the unbranded.
[Xperia Z2 General] antkalaitzakis96:
Z3's firmware got released on Vodafone first too..
[Xperia Z2 General] AlanDS:
Totally 8 Vodafone firmwares are seeding at the moment. I am waiting for an unbranded rom. I think Nordic-Baltic and MEA roms are first on list. Lets see..
[Xperia Z2 General] AlanDS:
Great to see the first screenshots. I see you already rooted it.

Please share your experience after using it for a hour or so. Thanks
[Xperia Z2 General] AttilaGolik:
What about the Home Settings? Is there the option for home screen rotation and change icon size?
[Xperia Z2 General] RedSkyRoad:
Only Vodafone builds are out. Can we flash these if we remove all the carrier crap with a script?
[Xperia Z2 General] dani010:
We wait around a week for release of this and now again we have wait around a week for unbranded version !!!
[Xperia Z2 General] Rajeev:
Yes.

Yes u can flash it in a D6503

---------- Post added at 07:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:52 AM ----------

Why waiting dude? Flash Vodafone FTF.. And remove craps...
[Xperia Z2 General] samansss:
Finally z2 23.4.A.0.546 available on xperifirm
[Xperia Z2 General] dani010:
For now its only for vodafone
[Xperia Z2 General] samansss:
how can i remove craps???
[Xperia Z2 General] Rajeev:
Maximum of craps are removable by normal uninstall. Other wise u should root ur device and remove unwanted apps..
[Xperia Z2 General] derjaeger:
Do you mean by using root app delete after fw install or directly mounting the ext4 system image?

In this second case, would it be enough to look for unwanted apks and delete them or are there further cares to take into account?

Thanks
[Xperia Z2 General] Rajeev:
Simply root and remove apps.. Thats enough..
[Xperia Z2 General] derjaeger:
Thanks, I will wait for .570 and go this way :)

Coming from 5.0.2 do you think it's necessary a full factory reset or can I keep user data/apps? Did you already try?
[Xperia Z2 General] Rajeev:
There is no difference in 570 and this one. Anyway its ur choice.. Best of luck my friend..

Actually factory reset is not needed if u really care about ur installed apps and data. But i prefer always doing a factory reset is good after flashing a rom or firmware..

Nope. I did not tried it yet. I don't have Internet to download . .
[Xperia Z2 General] beni8978:
Anyone tried does the camera2api work?
[Xperia Z2 General] Rajeev:
Camera2api is included ha? Are u sure? I don't think so.
[Xperia Z2 General] ImS0Raw:
Did someone already figure out a easy way to root? I need root just for one application, I don't care about everything else lel.
[Xperia Z2 General] derjaeger:
What about kingroot?
[Xperia Z2 General] :
Root and Recovery OK on 5.1.1

I'm on the Vodafone firmware using SuperSU 2.46 and Z2-lockeddualrecovery2.8.21. Pre-rooted .zip was built with PRF Creator v0.9

[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zera89:
hi guys, i hope you can help me.

I install android sdk and usb google drivers.

when my n9 is on adb recognise it and i can find it in list of device attacched.

when i reboot in recovery my device insn't listed anymore and when i try to sideload the ota it says "device not found"

i tried to reinstall drivers but it hasn't fixed anything.

What can i do?
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
When booted into recovery go to device manager on your pc. Do you see an icon with a yellow exclamation mark? If so, right click on it and go to where it lets you choose a driver from a list on the computer. Choose android adb composite interface.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cam30era:
In addition to what [MENTION=4858937]jd1639[/MENTION] said, once your device is recognized by your PC, if you continue to have problems when in recovery menu, try to unplug and replug in your USB cable.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zera89:
EDIT

i found it and i install composite adb driver even if windows was saying me that it can't verify driver's signature.

installing ota with sideload is safe?
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cam30era:
Yes. I would add that it's a good idea to unlock your bootloader first. If something goes wrong and your bootloader is locked, you're pretty much screwed.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zera89:
are you talking about OEM UNLOCK in developer options?
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cam30era:
Actually two steps. 1st check that box in developer options. 2nd, boot to bootloader and enter this command > fastboot oem unlock

NOTE: This will wipe the contents of your SDcard.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zera89:
i was looking for a way to force ota without wipe or unlocking...

do you suggest me OTA sideload procedure or wait for official ota?
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cam30era:
Your choice. Process and likely outcomes do not differ. My point is regarding risk and reward. I understand that you don't want to unlock or wipe. My caution to you is this: the OTA package sometimes fails to install, part way through the process. If your bootloader is locked, your device will probably be bricked and your only option will be RMA. I'm not trying to scare you into doing something you don't want to do, just pointing out the facts. And it doesn't matter whether you sideload the OTA, or wait for it to show up on your device. The risk is the same.

On the other hand, if your bootloader is unlocked, and the OTA fails, you can easily recover from it. In fact, you don't even need to sideload the OTA. You can then fastboot flash the Google factory image.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zera89:
uhm... ok... i'm understanding...

don't you think a bricking ota is almost a paradox?

i mean... Htc & Google make a update with errors or problems? it's foolish.

I can understand a custom rom but two giants like 'em...

i don't know what to do... i'm gonna think about it

thanks for your help!
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cam30era:
I'm certainly not debating the paradox with you. I'm just providing advice based on my own experience, and the (unfortunate) experience of other users on this forum. Good luck with what ever you decide to do here....

From what I have heard others had issues after flashing generic on the D6616.

I don't know about the Z3 but for some other devices like the LG G2 flashing firmware of a 16GB device on a 32GB one reduced the storage by half and it's a mess trying to get that back.

I apologize you are right, I read what you said again. And I misunderstood.

You've lost me.

Especially with your automatically entered signature, indicating that even though you say you have all three, you are for some reason using your Z3 to say how much better the Z2 is? You really prefer the speakers all at one end?

Or are you just having a laugh, doing a late April fools?

[HTC One X] bart1967:
Hi,

Ive been without my old one X for a while now, i enjoyed a number of roms during my time with it but unfortunately not followed the developments as closely as i once did.

I gave my old hox to my mum (bit of a gamble to get a pensioner trying new tech) but over the past year+ she has finally mastered it. I flashed it to standard htc build when i gave it over.

My question now is, is there a current lollipop rom thats close(ish) to standard and doesnt rely on xposed / root due to the fact she is now using banking apps etc. I can see lots of lovely options in the rom devlopment list, however it appears most are pre rooted or rely on xposed.

I was hoping to either re root and then do a titanium backup then wipe/flash so i can restore her info, or try out carbon and see if i can do a backup/restore from that without the need to mess about on re rooting.

Thanks for any advice / help on this..

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arctic Prodigy1:
There is a phone problem with CloudyG2 2.2 which is G3, I am having the problem of when I put the phone to my ear the whole screen turns off, how do I stop this, also the other problem is during the call I now have to swipe in order to use the number keypad, how do I disable this too, both of these are annoying as hell and I have looked into settings and nothing is there, is there an old LG G2 phone apk I can just install to replace this or is their a fix.....thanks in advance.....
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stuedub:
Well when you put the phone to your ear during a call and the screen turns off, this is the proximity sensor working. This is not an issue or a problem, rather a feature of pretty much every smartphone.

I very rarely need to use the keypad during a call so I can't help you there I'm afraid.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 60nine:
that's not a problem - that's a feature on most devices... (proximity sensor that detects when the device is near the ear)

with a screen turned on - you'd probabbly press some buttons while in-call

with the screen turned off - you won't...

i think this feature can't be turned off - maybe some apps can control that (search google play for "proximity")

as i recall - the stock dialer always had the number keypad invisible when in call...

try some other dialer apps - maybe they behave differently...
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arctic Prodigy:
Yes it's the proximity sensor, I will look for the stock dialer, I don't like the annoying slide to unlock when trying to use the number pad as well, that's a feature I just don't like, so I will look into other dialers and the stock dialer as well, thanks.

you got my post wrong - you DON'T need a stock dialer but some 3rd party one...

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaTiCeK-:
Front camera is selfie camera. :) I eventually found it on Ebay, but also gave me an error and only started working after a factory reset of the device. This makes me think, that perhaps even the N910F camera would have worked, had I tried performing a factory reset. Oh well, there goes my 12 euros. :)

For main camera try searching on eBay, or take a look at the sw box website - google it.

[Sprint HTC One (M9)] repl1ca:
So...usually I stream Spotify via bluetooth in my truck. About a week ago or so, I've had to turn the volume up way past normal to be as loud as it used to be. Anybody else come across this? I've tried different ROMs/kernels and they're all the same. It worked fine before a week ago, but now, not so much. I'm just trying to troubleshoot to see if its my phone or my stereo!

The only thing I've been doing to the phone is swapping ROMs/kernels (the usual), but other than that, no major changes. Possibly something has been added into the ROMs I've been using to limit bluetooth volume? I've tried both ViperROM & InsertCoin in the past few days, maybe I'll try the stock rooted ROM to see if that resolves it.
