ya ya.....it is true.....ready to taste kitkat awesomeness :laugh:

means it could be next week, remember when last 2 firmware leaked it took 1 weeks for official release.

The original source is came from a China mainland forum, not a HK web site.

yes even above mentioned link ( XG ) have quoted GFan website as source. Though "someone" said that GFan OP is a Hong Kong user that's why confusion happened, I guess...
Otherwise all cool It's good to quote the original source always

Go to the device info, tap 5 times on software version (eg. 14.2.A.1.136). Now in setting you will see developer options, where you can change this setting.

Google hasn't updated the feature to enable MSAA on OpenGL 3.0 on stock Android so it won't be making its way to non-Nexus devices either. And it's probably a good thing, too, since 4x MSAA on OpenGL 3.0 at this time might cause performance issues despite the powerful hardware.

I really hope KitKat comes soon. Even LG has started updating at least one device in at least one country on at least one carrier (U.S., T-Mobile), and while I'm sure Sony will, as always, be great at updating a couple of devices at the same time, I think they're still stupidly following the "announce flagship device first, then update older devices" strategy, which HTC and Samsung seem to have left behind.
Come on Sony, hurry up, and be sure to fix the RAM shortage problem that kills apps very quickly in the background (i can barely manage to have 3 apps in the background without the system killing them)!

I'm sure that we are waiting for the real thing. Not a problem for me if we get less bug KK update.
Can't wait though!

I'm from Australia but this firmware is for Generic Thailand 1281-1810

D6503 always has avantages over D6502
Sent from my D6502 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Rooting fail?

Updated (Generic Thailand). The only change I found is that Location toggle switch label is changed from "Lokasyon" (I think this word is in Tukish or Tagalog) to "ตำแหน่งที่ตั้ง"
Otherwise I haven't seen any change. Perhaps, It's just minor fixes due to language errors.

Changed from "Lokasyon" or changed to? Anyway, yeah Lokasyon or Lugar is the Tagalog counter part of Location here in the Philippines. Probably same as with Turkish.

Changed from. The translation was just in the wrong language.

As this firmware is released to Kuwait, i hope this has something to do with camera overheating. Sadly yeasterday itself i flashed german firmware to my z2. So can't test now.

Can you check if you're able to move apps to the SD card? Xperia blog reported that the 4.4.2 update on the T2 has this feature now. Hopefully the Z2 will get it too

Bootloop help

GretaLewd said:
This is the second time I've tried installing a flashable .726 ROM (1st attempt was an HK version) - and both times I've ended up in a bootloop. I get the SONY logo, then the Recovery LED / Vibration...then the phone restarts & repeats, At least I can get into recovery - so at least it's not a complete disaster.
I'm flashing the ROM from this thread over Existenz KK ROM( with SuperSU Root and NUT's dual recovery (2.8.3?)). I'm using TWRP & I do a full wipe/Factory reset before flashing.
My bootloader is locked.
Any ideas where it's going wrong

No the battery is diabolical. Cell standby drain 80%+ everyday and tried everything to stop it. Battery was fine before

Any advice appreciated. Thx.
