Hmm, not sure I think every z range rom has it, z1 I owned had it too, annoying, there will be a way, I have all other sounds turned off and vibrate on touch, I think the option to get rid of that may be in a system configuration file or maybe in a volume rocker mod, there's a few out there now. Worth asking one of the devs or cooks who make the mod.

[Xperia Z2 General] gazza35:
Wipe cache and dalvik, should then work, I don't know of any other camera issues on 511, failing that I'd reinstall with full wipe, hope you sort it, I had same with my z1, turned out wiping cache sorted it.
[Xperia Z2 General] zadusimple:
Thanks! I tried a clean wipe , no mods nothing still doesn't work. I think I have to go back to the previous version.
[Xperia Z2 General] RyTekk:
You update via PCC or Flashtool?

Woo, Just recieved a system update notification a few minutes ago here in Australia
[Xperia Z2 General] KeiFeR123:
Does the O2 DE version has O2 bloatwares?

Does the 4G network comes as LTE or 4G.

I am currently with the Austria version. The battery life is pretty amazing! Although I haven't notice that it gets hot.. perhaps because I am located in Canada :P

Thanks!
[Xperia Z2 General] gazza35:
Your options on o2 rom are LTE and WCDMA, instead of 4g and 3g, and yes o2 bloat is installed, but then that's what root uninstaller is for, get rid of all that you don't need.
[Xperia Z2 General] knoxploration:
Sorry, but the conspiracy theory is nonsense. The reason we're not getting the Camera2 API is because Sony would have to rewrite much of their camera support from the ground up, and that costs money. It is that simple. We'll eventually get the Camera2 API whenever they next release a new phone for which they decide Camera2 would be a good marketing angle, or the hardware itself necessitates a rewrite so they might as well build it around Camera2. And most likely, when either of the above arrives it won't be backported to older devices.

And which manufacturer are you going to switch to? As far as I'm aware, there are only two Android phones that can shoot raw out of the box: the LG G4 or HTC One M9. Hell, even Google's own Nexus 6 doesn't properly support Camera2, requiring you to install a third-party app to get raw support.

It's Google you should be blaming here, not Sony.
[Xperia Z2 General] bdithug:
Why not give the USA firmware (North American since Canadian devices ship with the USA firmware) a try? USA firmware usually has the least amount of bloat. I haven't upgraded yet, but I've read on here that the USA firmware does in fact have the least amount of bloat.

Flashtool update

Did my upgrade, got tools and rom from xperiafirmware.

No rooting or wiping. Took a while but working perfectly so far.

Seems faster, but dont no why.

Icon sizes are much better, similar to 4.2.2 I think
[Xperia Z2 General] zadusimple:
Hi,

I have installed multiple PreRooted Zip to Install 5.1.1 firmware however My camera is behaving very strange. When I tap to click the photo or record a video button on Camera app nothing happens and my phone kind of Hangs and I need to somehow close the camera app.

I have no mods installed. It is a clean Install.

I used several PreRooted zip from Recovery but nothing seems to fix the issue. Wiped cache wiped Art.

Please share here if you are also having such problems and if you have a solution.

Camera works beautifully on 5.0.2 and Kitkat

Edit: Camera works fine after Flashing pre rooted zip for D6502, however I am not able to charge the phone when it is powered on, when off the phone charges perfectly.
[Xperia Z2 General] effective:
First impressions - Installed via PCompanion. Battery is good for now.No heat issues and battery drain.The phone was heating while the installation was in process.The phone got more responsitive and snappy,the autorotate screen is faster+ i love the landscape menu option <3 I see the improvement of the SAM mode.It focus faster and the shots are abit sharper. For 2 days - 0 errors or bugs so far.Sound - i feel the speakers abiiiiiit louder.With headphones attached - abit louder listening to youtube,but still the same while listening in Walkman/aka Music.

[Xperia Z2 General] kamalmawa:
Sony has finally fixed the stock weather widget inability to auto update your location when you on the move. This is something they haven't fixed since the original Xperia Z.

Battery life seems to be improved but that Mobile Radio active bug on Facebook app still there. It's a screw up by Google as far as I know.

[Xperia Z2 General] spuri78:
You mean "downgrading "?
[Xperia Z2 General] BlAckXpeRia:
They already implemented it on the overheating trash(Xperia Z3+), so the code is written and ready to be compiled on all xperia z line(z2/z3 have merged sources). Also, they are a big company. If they are willing to stay in business, they should do some positive changes and not release phone that overheats in 1-2 minutes. in camera.

Ok. My phone when it is switched off is charging perfectly , however when I try to charge it (USB) when on , it does not charge at all. Strange? Is anyone else also facing this issue?
[Xperia Z2 General] rafaelnfontoura:
Didn't receive the update yet, but I'm a bit scared about the battery drain some users are talking about. I dont think my battery it's good as it should be on 5.0.2, but I dont remember how it was back in 4.4.4.

Also, I'm a little pissed off with memory management, since it kills some background running apps while I'm using Music, Twitter, WhatsApp and Chrome at the same time. C'mon, 3GB RAM can't run these apps without killing some of them?

Anyway, 4.4.4 is better than 5.0.2 overrall? And 5.1.1? Which ROM it's the best for the Z2?
[Xperia Z2 General] japskren:
It's is worthed to upgrade to 5.1.1?

[Xperia Z2 General] RyTekk:
I've just got freeze, the music still plays but can not touch or swipe anything on the screen, I was got it on 5.0.2, and now it still happens on 5.1.1. Have anyone got this issue?
[Xperia Z2 General] vctrdnl:
No battery drain here, not even a hint of such. The new firmware is very smooth, and the device feels cooler than before even under heavier usage. And even with the hottest day in a while, 36C. Not much else to report yet. I received the update as an OTA last night, installed it without wiping any old data. In fact, I haven't done data wipe since upgrading from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4. See my current battery stats below.

Hi all, Just a couple of question about the the OTA update.

I'm on stock .28 with root and recovery and I'm recieving the ota update (Italy) and trying to update, but after downloaded the update I recieve an error during the final verify and the process fail.

I' m wondering if this issue are happening to someone and if is there any solution to fix it.

Furthermore I wanna know if with the ota update i lose the root and recovery.

Thanks to all.

5.1.1 impression

Used for last 12 hrs and following things that I have noticed

1. Distance between signal bars and battery icon is more

2. Music quality is same as 5.0,headphones settings bug still present

3. Quick focus in camera

4. No charging time indication on lockscreen while charging

5. Battery life is good

6. Some random lag is noticed...but can be ignored ( rom need some time to settle)

7. Device is getting more warm than 5.0

8. Very minute lag is there during swiping lockscreen and settings sometimes

9. Animations are somewhat better than 5.0
[Xperia Z2 General] guhvanoh:
With root and recovery OTA updating should not work. There are pre-rooted roms with recovery included floating around the forum. Grab one and install. I leave it as an exercise for to find one.

Oh well Camera is improved in change-log says but I clearly don't see any difference though. I did a another comparison and you can see that white balance is still off and red is pink,

IDK man when they'll fix it. :(

4.4.2 seems bit okay with HDR+ to me but Reds are still not correct.

[Xperia Z2 General] bombdog:
Got the update OTA about an hour ago on unlocked device on UK 3 network. Painless upgrade as always nowadays. Did a quick Antutu and the mark has dropped slightly, but that means **** all, still 42000 (everything stock). Checked to see if 4k was still working alright, did 5 mins without it closing, but got more warnings than in the last firmware which I dismissed without issue. Love the auto rotate feature and also the volume controls are now more sensibly laid out. Auto focus seems improved in manual, 4k and superior auto as well which is good. In fact I've had no show stoppers yet, well done Sony (golf clap).
[Xperia Z2 General] solmiler:
I agree completely on the negative stuff.

I am still testing the battery though. I was getting around 7.5 h SOT on 5.0.2. Not bad but I had tried 4.4.2 for a day before I flashed 5.1.1 and got 8 hours SOT and still 25% left. At the moment 5.1.1 I have 6 hours SOT and 25% left.

There is a drain in Lollipop both 5.0.2 and 5.1.1. Battery life is good but it is about 30% worse than on KitKat. I think I will go back to 4.4.2.
[Xperia Z2 General] Shanliang-:
Hello, everyone!

I'm going to report what I've found so far in the 5.1.1 update.

Battery life has improved (click on the button to see screenshots) Normal mode, no stamina. GPS in High Accuracy all the time. Sync ON. WiFi ON. LTE OFF. Full HD video streaming for a couple of hours. Another couple of hours of Spotify streaming.

Animations are very fluid (although in 5.0.2 I felt they were quite fluid already).

I'm experiencing an improvement in the camera department, specifically when taking macro photos. Better focusing there.

The device is not warmer than in 5.0.2. I wouldn't be able to prove if it has improved or not, but it feels cool unless the hardware is pushed in 4K recording or long time gaming, which is expected.

No signal issues whatsoever. WiFi reception works well.

No freezes or random reboots (I didn't have any on 5.0.2 either).

In general I'm quite happy with the update.

Firmware: Customized US 23.4.A.0.546

Greetings,

Shanliang
[Xperia Z2 General] telbany94:
I love this update .. Soft keys response is insanely fast ..no more dealy with "back" or "recent" ... Camera opens faster too and focus and performance seems better. Dialer is faster but still needs more work from the guys in Sony... It takes some time to dial some conatct but at least it's better than before. And we finally have expandable volume menu.
[Xperia Z2 General] guhvanoh:
Yes, but you will lose both root and recovery. And you also won't be able to root 5.1.1. If you need root, use a pre-rooted rom.
[Xperia Z2 General] Gitaroo:
I am not sure if Z2 have the same UI refresh problem like Z1 with Lollipop, where the home launcher will refresh everytime you close out a browser if so was that improved?
[Xperia Z2 General] adamgraver:
I've never had that problem. Possibly due to Z2 having 1GB more of RAM.
[Xperia Z2 General] stanley08:
Terrible battery experience on 5.1.1. Now back to 5.0.2 and my battery is excellent again. Now.. 3hrs 17 mins screen time and battery still 72%

[Xperia Z2 General] :
I did the same. 5.1.1 is nicer in terms of animations and speed, but will eat the 3200 mAh battery in matter of hours!
[Xperia Z2 General] ebi sat:
You have to use pre-rooted image.
[Xperia Z2 General] zegun:
Charging speed with USB port is sluggishly slow.

With a 2.1A power bank, the phone only charges at 75-120mA, compared to a 800-900mA rate using the same power bank -- but through a magnetic adapter.

Battery life

Since my upgrade to rom 546 my battery life seemed much worse.

It now appears that Sony is now reporting figures that are more realistic than before.

Actual useful life seems to the same with normal usage.

I was always seemed odd that you could use your phone from 100% charge and the battery life went to 99% for at least 30 minutes. When the life was 30% it would drop very quickly.

Doesnt do that now!

I always use stamina mode.

Some users are reporting worse battery, some are reporting better battery.

A user said he had drain on one region he didn't mention but no drain on Customized_US region. I tried Nordic i think i will try US one.

One thing I have noticed with 5.1.1:

Now that Sony has changed the volume controls, power toggles doesn't toggle the sound state properly. I have a widget that toggles the different sound states (mute, vibrate, and sound). Sound and vibrate work fine, but mute doesn't work. I have to manually use the volume down button to mute the phone.

[Xperia Z2 General] n3087:
just tap and hold the clock at Lockscreen. So you can change between the different Widgets.
[Xperia Z2 General] Little Snevil:
I think he means to change it to how it was before.

In attachments I have a capture of 5.1.1, where all the clock appears in bold. In 5.0.2 the minutes appeared more thinner.

Sorry bad English.
