A new firmware certified for Xperia Z1 on PTCRB, moving the build number to 14.4.A.0.155.
I hope we get some of Xperia Z2 or maybe Z3 features on our devices.

New features? Highly unlikely.

Thanks Sorab, New features or Z2/Z3 features, I doubt specially as this is only a minor update (133 previous- and now 155) not major different
Of course by new features, I don't mean things like new camera, double tap to awake or ... I mean things like the new home or the new ui for wifi and bluetooth in settings ..., so we don't have to use different mods.

133 update, was only for vodafone cell's.
There won't be new features here, If there was some of these features, first number would change. I think we'll get some new features only after L release.

Tap to wake and move to wake is a Android L feature by default. It'll be there. The updated camera? Well considering the API has been updated right in the deepest corners of L, Sony will have to update their app for all the devices to implement changes. Even if they don't alternatives will be there considering features like manual focus and shutter speed control alongside DNG image capture is a part of 5.0.
Their own exclusive features they may choose to leave out but Android features...nope.

Tap to wake is built in by default on L and camera has to be update to work on L with the new API. PS4 control? Don't think so. Vivid mode? Don't think so. Everything else exclusive to Android? Yes. Everything exclusive to Z2,Z3: may or may not happen, mostly inclined towards 'may not'.

Kernel dependent, it's the in the latest stock kernel for L devices. N7,N5 everyone is getting it. Any device getting getting updated should get it.
Also Move to Wake is sensor dependent. I have it on for notifications, when I pick up my phone or pull it out of my pocket it shows my notifications. (AC Display).

I'm with Vodafone UK and PC Companion will now give us the official firmware update even though OTA will not.
It is still 2.3.3 but definately brings some new cool things. Here is what i've found so far.
UI Changes -
1) Finally we have landscape mode for the home pages. Unfortunately it only goes to landscape if you slide the phone open, it wont switch to landscape for me by rotating the phone. Cool nevertheless.
2) Smoother menu scrolling. Well it seems alot smoother for me anyway.
3) Themes - Basic bog standard themes, but they change the colours of all the menus etc. I didnt have this before the update, i am sure of it. (maybe my memory is wrong though).
4) New Timeout animation. It look cool ! Like an old CRT television turning off with the horizontal line disapearing into a small dot.
5) My keyboard no longer behaves erratically. For example, pressing "p" regularly printed a "Q" and a "P" for me. (pressing the right hand side of the screen in landscape mode activated the right and left hand side for some strange reason!). Very nice for me !
Settings Changes -
1) XLoud (found in the settings, sound menu). Apparently this does something to the speakers. Made ZERO difference for me. Mine was massively loud anyway, so i am guessing mine were already set up this way.
2) New silent mode in settings, sound (under XLoud). "All sounds except media & Alarms"
3) "X" takes pictures !!!!!! Now no need for camera mod, unless you want to use "R" trigger instead of "X". Me personally, will use "X". Great work by the camera mod dev anyway.
Apps and Software Additions -
1) Data Monitor Widget - It will only measure 3g, not WiFi, but i guess this is all we need. The widget definately looks cool. Now my main data monitor.
2) Qriocoty - A downloadable movies and videos app. You can either rent or buy.
3) WisePilot - Not sure if this is better than the navigation, i will test it next time i am on the road.
4) NeoReader - Bog standard barcode scanner
5) Store - Re-hash of market place i think. Not sure.
Who wants to add to things i have missed? There must be other stuff we have got?

Is there a way to disable the Timeout animation? I never really liked it in custom ROMs.
Also, to use the X we'll have to slide out the gamepad, we had to know SE would make it annoying before making it easier.
Lastly, thanks a lot of the list. Now I know what to expect and hope for it to reach my carrier soon.
Hasn't X always taken the picture? I can remember doing it on 2.3.2.

and 2.3.3? Isn't this 2.3.4? I'm on 2.3.3 and don't have that new xLoud feature :S
2.3.4 isn't out till September.
It is SE system software update not android.
xLoud has been amazing, I used to think my play was loud but now it is actually like have a good portable speaker system.
There are also a few new widgets like Weather and Fav contacts
extension search app for timescape.

I kinda worries me how xloud makes the speakers even louder, I remember there used to be jailbreak apps for the iphone which forced the speakers to go louder and on alot of peoples phones it would either break or ruin the speakers if used for too long.
anyway the xperia plays speakers are loud enough as it is

Android KitKat is rolling out.
Quote from Sony Mobile:
"The next Sony software rollout for*Xperia Z Ultra,Xperia Z1*and*Xperia Z1 Compact*starts right about now*…
We’ve been working to build new Sony experiences on Google’s KitKat release to create some neat / sweet features (if we say so ourselves) – in addition to a few performance tweaks here & there, some of the functionality you can look forward to includes:
Google’s Android 4.4; KitKat*as standard – bringing performance & UI optimisation…We’ve added*our tweaked Status Bar and Quick Settings… now more intuitive and customisable (and pretty easy on the eye)… cleaned up to ensure you only get the notifications you really need
If you’ve got a Sony PlayStation 4, you might recognize our new user interface*– we’ve added the same sleek launch animation and livewallpaper across the lock and home screens
We’re also*uplifting Sony’s entire native app portfolio to the latest versions*– bringing tweaked / improved / current experiences for (to name but a few): Messaging, MyXperia, Smart Connect, Small apps, TrackID, TrackID TV, Sony Select, Smart Social Camera and…
Sony’s Media apps: WALKMAN, Album and Movies, with Sony Entertainment Network cloud service integration**– a more converged and full Sony entertainment experience – Sony Entertainment Network & PlayMemories integration with a more intuitive UI, better download speeds, and more!
Our*unique custom interface experience: “Xperia Themes”,*with downloadable UI packs from Sony Select*– skin up to 280 assets across your Xperia smartphone with a variety of styles, and more to follow soon…"

Nothing in real life is true about that,kitkat is still buggy and has some battery drain problems,most of the people reported that they had less battery drain with 4.3 so we shall see(nexus 7 2013 kitkat user here)

Not motivated enough.. battery life already a charm and performance already a beast.. so.. its not worth it to update 4.3 to 4.4 just for the sake of changing the number..
Included in this software:
This upgrade for your Xperia™ smartphone includes many improvements, such as:
Introducing Android 4.4.2 KitKat with many new features and enhancements
Updated Camera application and overall tuning to improve the camera experience
Enhanced email app
Stability, performance & battery improvements

I don't think that you don't want even better battery life .
Also, there are other improvements (like with the camera), new features, as quoted in my prev. post.
Any info on how Sony is handling the whole microSD debacle with its 4.4 KitKat firmware?
I use my microSD to store music and videos only, but I'm wondering if the 4.4 firmware can get me any problems with wifi syncing software (AirDroid, Cheetah Sync), or any 3rd party media player such as MX Player...

All i want is Camera API 2 support (3.0 + is already in development it seems!! I wouldn't feel if the camera doesn't support but its the same sensor as Nexus 5 (As some reviews say) and a software feature i wish Motorola includes in it or atleast some one from xda finds a way to enable it!!

Cool, well im not a big camera guy, quick snap here and there, otherwise i like the camera, what benefits does the new camera api bring in?
I just hope for a memory fix and the ui being smoothed out and less laggy...
Manual Controls!! I do like the simplicity of the Motorola Camera app but the Camera Sensor being the same as Nexus 5 would definitely improve with camera api 2.0 just check out some shots of N5 using camera api 2, especially low light. The camera of Moto G (2014) is amazing for its price except the software which limits it to great extent. Just wish Nokia makes an Camera App similar to its Windows Phone app with Camera api 2.0 support. Nokia Lumia 520 surprises me with its amazing camera performance while no phone is near in the same price range in android universe!!
Yes, it's true about our Moto G ship the same Nexus 5 camera sensor. The only difference is that Nexus 5 has OIS.
http://www.techspot.com/review/888-motorola-moto-g-2014/page3.html
The sensor + SoC support 1080p video recording, but it seems moto was lazy to develop the camera.
Can't we just borrow nexus 5 drivers????
Does anybody know if the Moto G 2nd gen will get an update to 5.1?
How likely do you think it is? I'm guessing the jump from 4.4 to 5.0 was not easy because drivers etc, but from 5.0 to 5.1 of your Motorola you don't have to worry about hardware problems so it should be a matter of weeks once 5.1 is official...?
What do you think. Quick OTA fix?

This is exactly what i thought. I had this doubt for a long time and i thought it'd be stupid to ask. Now that i know the sensors are same, library edits and media codec edits should bring 1080p recording to our phone. Any interested devs out there?
There must be some issues otherwise any dev could've already made it! I still have some hope that someone will find a way to enable camera api 2.0+ support so we could enjoy snapping with our Moto more! and Snapdragon 400 Soc does supports 1080p encoding and decoding and camera is capable of 1080p recording so it is possible with adequate dev support and kernel sources we may get!!
Speaking of ram management, I just read in a nexus 5 thread that it looks like it's been fixed and the device is working like a charm.
Surely, it's the nexus 5 we're talking about and it hasn't been a full day yet, but someone says the apps are opening/switching much faster and that launcher redraws have been non existent as of now.
Wonder how titan will deal with that. After all, the android one devices haven't really got impressive specs but they still seem to deliver quite well, right?
So 5.1.1 was leaked on a Google Dev page today (Source)
What would we want to see in this Lollipop update for the N6 seeming we know nothing about whats coming?
Me personally? A bit better battery life (I think the second .1 indicates new kernel?) and to clean up some of the bugs.

probably nothing beneficial for the N6... looks like it's only going to be for the N7 and N9... much like the 5.0.2 release was never "official" for the N6.
If its truly LMY47S, then it is not really 5.1.1.
That has the same build date code as 5.1.
I want faster responding sensors. Auto dimming, proximity sensor for phone calls sped up. Damn thing takes forever! As does auto rotate.
Want a rocketship for blasting off to Mars! Seems my Nexus6 has about everything else!
I'd like my battery to last over 9000 minutes of screen on time.
Three wishes, and none of them for an iPhone, M9, or S6.
Better battery optimization, improved camera and radio, and ability to switch to a dark Material theme.
Performance improvement for Camera, Dialer and occasional dropped frames in animations.
I would like google to unlock the notification led xD
Faster booting up and more options when shutting down.
Screen resolution options.
That's it for now, only had it for 2 days. Still learning about lollipop, I came from an galaxy s3.
Sexy wallpaper
- Notification lights back by default (non-rooted)
- (Better) hardware encryption for faster boot-up

To you and others in this thread - You're on XDA and many of the feature requests are available in most custom ROMs. "I don't run rooted ROMs" or "I'd like those features to be in stock ROM" will probably be your reply, to which I will say, why are you commenting on a developer / Android customization forum?

The N6 is already a great device. What would make it stand above the rest is for it to be natively as smooth and lag free as the N5 is and to add some minor battery life improvements.

Another hit on Sony.
So far the only gains you get with the X Performance is as follows..
- predictive hybrid autofocus
- 13 mp front camera
- Snapdragon 820
The z5 is as follows
- Glass premium design
- 4k video recording
- Small Apps for now
- Bigger screen within tolerable range for carry 5.2
Anyone else wanna add something in? I'm thinking of buying a cheaper z5 now and so this x series 1st Gen.

The 820 is more efficient, so you'll see similar uptimes. I don't like this trend, though, I want at least two days of battery life.
To be honest, I never use(d) them, and they're (after the bloatware) the first thing I remove as soon as I get touch to the system folder.
Also with the Multiwindow function (in-officially) introduced in MM they're even less needed, I can understand why Sony removed them.

I'm I don't see a multi window function on 6.0.1. Whether it's a future update feature or not. This current phone doesn't have it. So multi tasking is little more limited.

Yeah, but it's there.
Open build.prop and change
"ro.build.type=user" to
"ro.build.type=userdebug"
Then you can find it in the developer options

Do you need root to do that?

Enabling multi window on Android 6.0 is really easy...
no root required, you just need to setup adb and run:
Code:
adb shell setprop persist.sys.debug.multi_window true
about the small apps i have to say that i never used them. I owned an xperia z1 and now a z3 and when i saw them i thought, wow nice i can use a calculator and other things when i need them, but at the end i really never used em >.<
I own a Z2 and I never used small apps. So for me, this is a positive move from Sony.
I'd like a Z5P if it features a S820. Unfortunately it doesn't.
