Don't know if this was discussed before, but with the 4.3 update & Sense 5.5, you can Lock Exposure & Focus (AE & AF Locked) in the stock Camera app by tapping & holding your finger on the screen.
I didn't know that, thanks! :good:
That's a great feature! However it came with the Android 4.2.2 update
is there since 4.1.2

Didn't know! I just found it accidently & thought it came with the 4.3 update. Changed the OP accordingly.
to reset AF & EF in auto, just touch once on the screen and let it auto focus
It's actually a very good feature, quicker snaps can be taken. It however was not in 4.1.2, was introduced in 4.2.2

This was not a feature in my AUS Vodafone 4.1.2.
Also of all the reviews I read online re the 4.2.2 releases said it was a new feature HTC added to that and later firmware.
I guess you were lucky or special on T-Mobile..
I have 4.3 with Sense 5.5 and can't find how to turn on autofocus when recording. There is no option in camera settings.
confirmed to BE in 4.1.2.
i have an HTC Sensation XE running Sense 5 jellybean 4.1.2 port courtesy of Team Venom and this feature, locking of AE and AF is there..but..i'm kinda curiuos, what does it do?

Gingerbread is the fastest version of Android yet, and it delivers a number of improvements, such as user interface refinements, NFC support, a new keyboard and text selection tool, Internet (VoIP/SIP) calling, improved copy/paste functionality and gyroscope sensor support.
New Keyboard!!!!! Wonder if Blindtype is incorporated???

I hope it doesn't take that long again... but I'm using CyanogenMod 6.1 and just upgraded it last night. Gingerbread would have to have some really new, killer features to get me to move away from CyanogenMod 6.1.

No offense but this is just a third party website. They don't even mention the source of these rumors. Nothing has been stated by samsung so far so there's no need to cry. To be honest I don't think that 4.0.4 will be some revolutionary step forward and thus I don't understand why we shouldn't get this update.

Well I've installed Parandoid Android 1.5a and VK 5.1.2 in dual boot already, but CM/AOKP/AOSP roms don't work as flawlessly as sammy roms.
For example in CM & co roms auto brightness or gyro is broken. Also no FM (yeah, i know, ther is spirit FM...) and sensor assistance is working.

I agree, auto brightness on CM/AOSP/AOKP roms is still far away from perfect, which makes our beloved and very dark S AMOLED+ practically unusable (outdoor) on sunny days.
Also Apex, Nova, etc don't measure up to TW Launcher in terms of smoothness.
i just noticed this now people have been telling me for ages gs2 will get an official 4.0.4 rom but i guess not :/

Html5 rendering is faster and since it has phone apk we can use P3110 to make internet calls.

I cannot wait! I skipped 4.4.4 due to the screen being way to sensitive to my liking, I think it was more of an android problem than Sony as the Galaxy s5 on 4.4.4 seems too sensitive to me as well.
Its 100% sure.Sony confirmed several times.Z3 and Z2 will take the update first,than the rest from the Z family.5.0 will start rolling at 10/15 of february. (hope there will be way for rooting it easly this time lol )

Am I really the only one who finds Lollipop (atleast aosp) looking extremely unappealing? I gave it a go on my old Xperia Z but quickly just went back to 4.4.2... I really hope Sony will work their magic because the way Google made it is just... yuck... the notification dropdown is a mess and a great example of weird material-design would be the "Settings" menu of lollipop.. so much spacewaste filled with plain white.
The design guidelines for Android and even iOS confuses me these days -.- heck, even Windows and OS x look like plain colored crap! Tshh, tssh...

That's only if that method still works for LP. Isn't a kernel what allows SU during boot needed now? At least that was the case when I rooted my N7 2012 when LP was first released.

no, once you get root access SuperSu will add an exeption into the policy nearly imediatly so an unlocked bootloader is no longer required to root lollipop

Better don't do that, because Sony will release 5.0 in February. Better stay on locked bootloader, u can unlock bootloader only if u want to tray some another rom on another kernel (non stock, like CM, AOSP). I think Sony will release 5.0 in 30 days maximum

That's actually my plan, to do a little bit of experimenting with another ROM/kernel/MultiROM.
Apart from Lollipop we all see news around that Sony is open to sell their mobile division. I'm so sad to hear that. Still its a rumour and we didn't see any new devices on CES too.
A reader of italian site(Androidworld.it) ,write an email to Sony Italy for lollipop update for his xperia z1. They respond to tell him that update is coming for all z series in half of Febbruary. I don't know if they change their plans about the update of xperia z3 and z2 (they will be update first...according by Sony ) but i think we have a good information now link here:http://www.androidworld.it/2015/01/30/sony-italia-conferma-aggiornamento-lollipop-270760/ sorry for the english

Again a comparison against 2 different devices, a good friend of mine had an S4 and update and that phone was totally dead and wont start anymore, she had mine in hands (my Z2) and she sold her S4 immidiatly and buyed a Sony and she is very happy now.. Enough said

Crapsung, I used to own an XPERIA x10, I upgraded to and S3 after a long while of owning that phone. I must say, it was an upgrade in speed and battery, but everyone with a decent brain should udnerstand that. I was not really happy with the phone, alot of problems, not only me, alot of others too. After my S3 I bought a Sony again, the XPERIA z2. Not even ONE problem with my phone anymore. No lags, nothing, everything is perfect. Never buying a Samsung again, overrated plastic. But my S3 is not out of service by the way. It still works, not smooth and perfect though as my Z2, my mom is using it with sometimes complaints.
