TOUCH DRIVERS UPDATED ,AS EVERY MAJOR UPDATE DOES
BATTERY PROBLEM SOLVED
BATTERY SUCK STOPPED. the x- reality enhanced for sharper images.
Game lag fixed.
Launcher updated.
Panorama corrector
Depth variation improved for visual effects.
Sony®Alfred

Whats game lag, why is it bravia engine 2 when it was suppose to be an upgrade going to x reality engine. I actually wish they would add a tweakable setting for x reality. Really like the color and contrast calibration but thing become pixelated and too sharp. And what was the battery problem?

I am not sure how relaiable is this but at first it looks like a minor update. There is no camera enhancements???
can you elaborate more on these points
BATTERY SUCK STOPPED. THE BUG WAS SUCKING
Game lag fixed.
do you mean just improved battery life? I am not aware of any of these two bugs
what is bravia engin2? do you mean X-reality?
and what do you mean by
Depth variation improved for visual effects.
is it camera improvements?

Sony spoke we get 4.3 in December

i think there will be some improvement bcos leaked images taken from z1s with 4.3 jellybean and with the same cam hardware has cam firmware as f400(from exif info) meanwhile we have f310 with the latest .257 firmware................so z1 will also be updated.

Yeah that is an interesting one, I think you will be waiting a while. Yes the CPU is capable but I don't believe that the internal USB interface is fast enough to cope with decent frame rates at 4k, because you will be wanting to save these to SD due to the size, and I don't think 10-12MB/s will cut it. Unless Sony can pull a rabbit out of the hat

It is most likely to be the Linux & Java memory management, and the garbage collection events causing micro pauses. I have one game which is pretty simple which has some lags on the Z1.

LIST OF IMPROVEMENTS:

OP WARNED TO NOT POST NOT CONFIRMED INFORMATIONS
URCAT IS HAPPIER
But seriously those informations are not confirmed and are purely speculative. Wait few weeks and we all will see what were updated and what not.

Did someone noticed 14.2.A.1.142?

In PTCRB is since yesterday a new FW certified. Again...
http://www.ptcrb.com/vendor/complete/view_complete_request_guest.cfm?modelid=24328
Question is: would it be released?

I don't think so. It's only certified. NOT YET RELEASED...

I guess no. This might be a test build for the path towards stable Kitkat.
Certified doesnt always mean that it would be rolled.

I guess sony will go straight to 4.4KK...

It could be like last update: 14.2.A.1.114 (certified) ==> 14.2.A.1.124 (certified) ==> 14.2.A.1.136 certified and released.
So again: wait and drink a cup of tea

After releasing New Flagship Device they might release kitkat for Z range

Therefore, that it's only a minor number forward from the last fw (136), it won't be anything near kitkat!
Maybe a minor Bugfix or extended update from 136 but nothing major!
Wait until the buildnumber changes to 14.3.X. to guess when kitkat will arrive, just a hint
sent from the 1

Kitkat won't be out before Barcelona - that's 100% and this could go out, maybe it's just some regional patch.
But it's nothing big - that's obvious from build number.

I'm actually really impressed by the rate of updates for the Z1 so far. Granted this might not be released, but it looks like Sony has finally learned to be decently constant with updates.

i thought some Danish Carrier leaked out that 4.4 KitKat was coming to the Z1 in March
cant find the site at the mo but will look again later

It was a polish carrier presenting the list when the Z will be updated, not the Z1!
The Z1 will most probably be updated first though

That are mainly hardware issues and I really doubt it could be ever fixed...
Maybe they will succeed to make it better - like touchscreen sensitivity and yellow tint...
But that's not software - I'm 100% sure, why?
Because I'm using 290 firmware and it's working fantastic.
Without any touchscreen problems, with real white and black colors on screen and with great battery life...
Every single firmware I tried worked perfectly...534, 290 or 136 - without a single glitch.

Actually the Yellow tint is a known software, not hardware problem . The touchscreen problem is iffy, some say hardware while some say software. I actually would say the Z1 is almost flawless hardware wise, the problems start on the software side (yellow tint, camera, bluetooth, etc.)
It's good because that means Sony can fix most of the problems on the Z1. They already fixed yellow tint and bluetooth, now the touchscreen and camera optimization should happen soon.

I would say it's mix, it's a software, O.K but only on some devices which are using different screens and other parts (bluetooth chip and other parts).
It's impossible that you have problems and I don't have if we all have exactly the same hardware...
So the conclusion would be - we are both half right

Android 4.4 KitKat is here! Sony Mobile confirms roll out!

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…"

Meh... That would kinda suck... Dev would've to port tap2wake from Z2\Z into custom kernel (which we still don't have) and that might take quite a looooong time =(

Was only waiting for kitkat only if smartcall and tap to wake up were in it... I dont see the point of upgrading.. :S

Since rollout is starting for our phone, when can we expect it?

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...

Would you be so kind to test the camera improvements after update? Maybe the new version fixes the blurriness, noisiness and low light performance of the camera I wouldn't expect to remove the flash bleed but... who knows... maybe they played with the flash timing somehow...

ZUK Z2 PRO Android 7 confirmed 2017!

Hello,
Now it's fully official.
Android 7 will be released officially on January, 28 2017
m.gsmarena.com/zuk_announces_android_70_nougat_update_plans_for_the_z2_pro_and_z1-news-22050.php

The Chinese character 內測 in the image means "test internally".

The 7.0 test internally was OTA today. Maybe the stable one will be released before Chinese new year (about five weeks later).

on print screen is missing dark theme... I hope they would include it..

For those who would like to update here is the link to the forum to try 2.5.335ST version.
http://zukfans.eu/community/threads...ion-updated-link-for-2-5-335-st-version.1801/

looks almost the same after got updated to ZUI2.5...

does 7.0 on the update brings manual controls on the camera?

I didn't have it before 2.5 was available, so I never tested it on the older builds. It's a decent camera, although you really want to be on stock ZUI to take advantage of it.
Realistically, if I had to choose again, I would probably save the money and get the regular Z2 instead; the custom ROM scene is much better, longer battery life, and no issues with the Z2 Pro camera's OIS getting physically stuck due to Camera2-based drivers not knowing how to deal with it properly. And no worrying about missing U-Health, since it doesn't have the finger sensor.

May Security update..

I must say I'm rather impressed being the X is an older phone yet it receives the new security updates rather quickly.. Just got May's update..

Initially X was never part of ANdroid 8 when sony released software binaries. however it was last minute include. the line was drawn at X-perf
It feels good how finally Android 8 is running stable on X however as daily driver and with burden of social apps. X starts lagging and overheats as you said! , many functions and camera don't work.

That's only a problem of YOUR PERSONAL device. My X is neither lagging nor overheating even in a hot situations (tested in my bathroom with 41 gradus temperature, runs great). I don't have any problems with my X, neither all my X users I know from 4PDA. So stop telling people that Oreo is bad when YOUR device overheats and lags, please.
I suggest you to visit some local repair shops and ask them for checking your cooling system.

I own two Xperia X, Black and Lime, so there goes your argument.
also its not my personal opinion and as Hardware there is NOTHING wrong with Xperia X. we are talking about software part.
I have tried my Black X with Omnirom 7.1.1 and 8.1 and the same X has
1. Amazing Batter Life
2. No overheating
3. no Lagging
4. Camera works perfect and records 4K
since you are using my modded kernels and ROOT ACCESS allows you to modify Oreo by having different modes in Magisks and/or control bloatware etc.
I would suggest you to flash oreo .2.70 right-away and use untouched for one weak with all the bells ringing and we will see

Due to the following features I am using Oreo (XGEN) build on .2.50
1. Better Screen Resolution/Tone ( the tint in Oreo on screen is soothing to eyes as compare to N)
2. Cleartype ScreenFonts
3. Nighlight
4. Notification settings options and panel
5. Setting Menu simplified (a bit better than Nougat)
-- however these are all UI and cosmetic affects
I was happier and relaxed on the final build .252 (came dec17) android 7.1.1. I kept switching back to .252 after trying first two Oreo builds which I found horrible in terms of battery life & overheating; and its not just me, many user reported the same on various posts (in and out of XDA forums) about how after upgrading to Oreo they are facing overheating and battery drain issues. when X overheats it starts lagging.
10April18 build .2.50 (third attempt) has been quite better than its predecessor builds but still can't compete with dec17 build .252.
REMEMBER, my comparison / observation is on ROOTED Xperia-X

Do you need my FHD 60 FPS video recorded on X without any additional cooling systems? I can provide one.

I own two Xperia X, Black and Lime, so there goes your argument.
also its not my personal opinion and as Hardware there is NOTHING wrong with Xperia X. we are talking about software part.
I have tried my Black X with Omnirom 7.1.1 and 8.1 and the same X has
1. Amazing Batter Life
2. No overheating
3. no Lagging
4. Camera works perfect and records 4K

I have the same on stock Oreo, everything except the first point. OmniROM (and k4.4 in general) are more optimized.

since you are using my modded kernels and ROOT ACCESS allows you to modify Oreo by having different modes in Magisks and/or control bloatware etc.
I would suggest you to flash oreo .2.70 right-away and use untouched for one weak with all the bells ringing and we will see

Nice challenge!)
I'd like to accept it, but since I was already using Oreo on locked bl (before your kernel was released for 5121), I can share some thoughts. It was running stable, maybe camera was a little bit worse than I expected. No overheat (was it because of a winter?), no lags, no anything. It was a clean and stable ROM. So...
But thanks for the idea of challenge like this. I have a guy with untouched X, so maybe he will tell something there.

over-heating
Hi Guys,
My Xperia-X is replaced in this may month in warranty.
After replaced I am feeling too much overheating.
From the first day, I have an update to latest may security update.
Now I don't know this over-heating is due to may update or again I got faulty hardware by Sony.
What about you guys do you feel over-heating especially after may update?

Hey folks, heads up June update is out and about..
