DISCLAIMER: Please don't ask for ROM, dump, files, where I got the ROM etc etc etc. Can't say anything and will ignore any requests.
Next patch version for the Z is still 4.1.2 but has some optimizations, let me name a few:
- Soft keys + notification bar background changed, it is now black and looks a lot better.
- There is an option to adjust the white balance of the screen
- There is an options to enable/disable the notification light
- Stamina seems to work much better, better standby time plus LED notification works with stamina on. Also noticed that apps in stamina exception list work much better now.
- WiFi reception is MUCH better.
- Camera opens faster than before, still a bit slow for my taste but it is a step to the right direction.
- The device is faster in general. Have tested this with another not updated device and it is in the scale of ms but still it is faster and more responsive.
I might be missing a few things here but it is a nice patch, I know it is not 4.2 but still it is a good patch.
Accepting questions to test things but I can't always answer very fast.
EDIT: forgot to write that the exploit for root doesn't work anymore.
Cool thank you Hopefully it won't be long until this is out!
Have they improved the camera quality at all do you know?

Improved The Photo quality?
This is most likely real! Haven't heard all of the listed improvements but we received internal confirmation on most of them.
Does this one already include the proper Music Unlimited integration in Walkman or is that planned for another release? I know it's coming but never had any confirmation on whether that would be in 4.1 or 4.2.

PS3 Sixaxis controller support ? Like in the SP ?
I hope you're right, and I hope a WiFi fix will be included as well - will be very good update, though I really like grey navigation/status bar...
Cool, but primary hope for less compression of picture taken (size up to at least 4-5mb per pic) ><
Credibility
Sooo basically no source, no answer no screens, no questions = 0 credibility.
He gets 2 points for being a senior poster but basically what was the point in posting this?
How about I post an article saying that Sony Z will be the first phone to get KLP and then put a disclaimer similar to yours and expect people to believe me, long story short we will only know how right/wrong you are when it comes out which will be about the same time we find out all the new features so again what was the point
This guy has a trusted sources.

I'm more inclined to believe him, because he does have a history of predicting/leaking things for the XZ. Search his forum posts.

Hi
Got my update today on generic UK and I am really impressed
Have seen a lot of people moaning that the update didn't come out quick enough
Loving the new improvements, wow camera start up time is amazing now
Loving the new themes
Walkman app sounds better without clear audio enabled now using external amp
New email client is nice and loving the new keyboard
Overall I am very impressed

Yeah I think. 4.3 is great on the z.feels like an upgrade should
Sony Ericsson w800,LG viewty,Nokia 5800,HTC wildfire,HTC desire s,Motorola xoom,nexus 7,nexus 4,Xperia z,nexus 7 2
It's awesome although the ram is less free now but still
I liked the new camera app plus the add-on and the new task for the volume keys and I hated how we can't view and delete the photo within the camera app without going to albums
I liked the new awesome keyboard but also I hate that we can't unchecke the Chinese language
The new phone app is cool
The brightness quick setting is something needed for long time hopefully they will do the same with sounds
that's about it for now

Sent from my C6603 using xda app-developers app
not all that happy would have benn if they had the feature to move apps to sd like in other 4.3 updates like s4,s3 etc
The only, though a major dissapointment that I found was the deterioration of the camera quality. Initially, XZ was hated for it's low light photos but after the last 4.2.2 update, the camera worked like a charm and had me on my toes for very good noise reduction even in superior auto mode.
And I am very dissapointed that again in 4.3 there is a lot of noise in relatively low light photos. I don't like the automatic ISO it sets for the photographs (in Superior Auto mode). Apart from that, clicking a photo via volume keys is simply wonderful and enables us to finally take waters underwater.
I like it.
Anyone else's run a lot cooler? Mine gets no where near as hot.
Menus run smoother, not a fan of the new keyboard so switched out to the regular Google one. Love the white. Battery seems similar to previously. Love the brightness and throw quick settings. Camera app is better although I'm disappointed at no Time shift burst.
50% happy. Of 50% unhappy.
Not really happy with it, no improvement much that i can tell. I don't like the bright white settings menu, it seems like more boring plain themes, the camera no long has any quality options , same with video , i have less choice now.
So far disappointed
the new keyboard is godly, does anyone know if it is possible to extract it and make an apk out of it? or does anyone have any tips on how to start?
Mixed feelings for me, having the Suspend_backoff Wakelock (Android OS battery drain) but overall smoothness and performance has improved, We have almost the same features as the Z1 now and for that I don't really envy the Z1 anymore. Camera is better in someways (like the volume button can be used as shutter) but I do agree somehow quality isn't like how it used to be.

no quality options? I am sure you haven't check out the manual mode yet.
Overall liking it so far
Except for the known WiFi issue for people using SW2
Which renders the watch useless, So much for Smart Watches lol
Best update so far.
Been using Sony / Sony Ericsson phones since the Xperia Arc S and the 4.3 update is ,IMO the best update from Sony so far.
The smoothest UI experience I have ever had with a Sony phone.
Having said that, I agree with gerickjohn regarding the wakelock issue. Used Grenify to hibernate lots of apps (including system apps) as well as system tuner and xposed boot manager to prevent apps on boot and unused processes. Still uses about 1% per hour on standby which is quite a bit more than on 4.2.2 (1% per 3-4 hours). Not a huge drain, but I prefer to reserve the battery for when I'm actually using the phone.
Camera has never been the best on the XZ so wasn't expecting much anyway.
P.S Does anyone know if Grenifying the wrong system apps can actually cause more battery drain? i.e apps that keep trying to start everytime they are hibernated?
Edit: I think I may have fixed the Android OS wakelock by disabling auto backup/restore and deleting the "gmail extension" in dashclock.

One thing that made me wanna buy this Xperia Z is the ability to capture good pictures in low-light condition. But after this update, the quality is very poor. Even Oppo Find 5 (chinese branded phone) can takes better pictures than my Xperia Z in low light condition. It's a shame...
I am about to update my phone soon (UK unbranded), but at the same time I am a bit sceptical about the change of the keyboard? I don't really understand what people mean by the new layout & I have searched around but not enough information on it.
Can anyone let me know if the T9 (predictive text) is still there with the old style keypad? I don't like using the qwerty board - I make too many mistakes despite having small fingers! A screenshot would be most helpful! Thanks

I flashed official lollipop i didn't any new feature
Lollipop is all about the appearance.
I'm using TW Lollipop about a month and I don't see much difference in functions. But the battery lifetime is much better also much smoother and faster.

False.
Lollipop comes with a whole bunch of improvements to the system overall.
What I liked the most is the new ART system. It's blazing fast and stability is incredible. I would say that the new way of handeling software overall seems to be a lot better on L rather than on KK. You have a whole new system for the notification system as well, you have complete control of what apps are allowed to give you notifications or not. Security is improved as well. There's tons of changes under the hood, less experienced users may not notice these but it's a huge improvement of Android.
With TW rom no multi dpi...custom kernel.....
The whole point of Lollipop is the Material Design.
Which, if you hate white, is not an improvement. And with Xposed not working on ART, there's not a bloody thing I can do about solving that, quite literal, cause of migraines.
But it's fast, lighter and easy on the battery life.
You also get more control over your lockscreen notifications (turn then off individually), but you sacrifice lockscreen widgets completely as a result. You can, however, use the controls in the notifications (like LUX) from the lockscreen without swiping down the bar.
(I own an S5 running on official PHN 5.0)

As said above, the runtime change from Dalvik to ART is the biggest advantage of Lollipop over KitKat. Apps should consume less RAM, should be smoother (I have no idea whether that will be placebo or not), so less micro stuttering shall we say?
And appearance is there as usual, which I simply favour, I mean white vs black, all the gaga, personal choice, and you are not interested to know that anyway.
PS: I think Xposed just became compatible for Lollipop. Don't take my word for that though, just saw a tweet from Wanam, well he can't be wrong, but have no time to check in the matter further, but if that's true then I am simply flashing L as soon as its officially released. Incompatibility of Xposed was the biggest gripe of mine to not use L, and with its gone, well all is gooooooooooooooooood

Wallpaper on both home and lock screen
What i’ve noticed with this official Russian lollipop firmware on Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is that when i want to set a specific wallpaper (i mean when i go to gallery then choose a picture) both on lock screen and home screen then why are there two same options “Home and lock screens”? With the option first i can set wallpaper when there’s only a person on picture but when there are two people then it won’t let me to tap to face and save it. Option two is working fine, no problem at all. Thanks in advance for those who’ll answer me!
P.s.: If i wrote to wrong thread then i'm sorry but still hope there'll be someone who can answer me

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
Fix the carkit a2dp crashing when connected to a Bluetooth low energy device. I should not have to put my moto 360 in airplane mode every time I drive my car...

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?

Why would Google implement something that is unnecessary and could cause problems? There hasn't been any need to close apps for quite a few iterations of android (actually an understatement)
With all these 'new' versions I find it interesting that N7 seems to be the problem child they can't get right.

Well it's using a tegra chip. All other nexus are using Qualcomm chips. Minus the 9 which is also late to the party.
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.

I just got my RENO 10X Zoom and don't know how to disable all notifications from the lockscreen, I have gone to settings and have already clicked on do not show on lockscreen. It seems that you have to go to each app and disable the lockscreen notifications.
Is there a way or an app that I can install and disable all notification from lock screen at once.

Just switch to a different theme downloaded from theme store.
Do you know how can we change the icon in default launcher?
Also, I could find a way to change the number of apps in a row in App Drawer?
Coming from OnePlus, I strongly feel that Color OS is a disappointment when we compare it to Oxygen OS.

Hi, congrats on your new mobile.
About the dual speakers...
1. How is the quality?
2. Are they really dual(like in S10, Xs etc) or fake dual( like in PocoF1, Zenfone 5z etc)?
3. Can you compare their loudness and quality to any other device for reference?
Thanks

Congrats! I have this targeted as a potential contender for my next phone. I have a few questions please,
1. The volume/side button wobbly issue on the Indian model?
2. How good is the rear camera, flagship levels (like S10/Pixel)? Or at least close?
3. From the reviews, the front camera images looked too bright and kinda washed out. with less details. Is it still the same? Any improvement with any update?
4. How bad is Color OS? Any comparisons? (I am used to samsung S7's os and pure android, will Color OS be tolerable? Does it have good features?)

The keys on my phone are wobbly too but I don't think it'll be a problem.
Btw are you guys using the case that came in the box? I find it very ugly. I use skins in all my phones but can't seem to find one for the reno yet. Also, is everyone still using the pre-applied screen protector? Mine already caught a lot of dust. If someone has installed a different one kindly share the link.

Hello! Congratulations on your purchase. I hope to follow your footsteps but do have a few questions if you dont mind.
1. Do notifications come through well?
2. Do the notifications show on the status bar up top?
3. Off screen clock or always on display, does it show 3rd party apps notification?
4. How is the video quality? I saw a couple videos from this one channel on youtube and his video from Oppo 10x zoom looked very washed out. Do you have the washed out look when taking videos?
I thank you so much in advanced for your help!!
Just one question.. Is the color os that bad of a deal breaker? I was thinking of buying either the 10x zoom or the black shark 2.. Both have pretty much same specs and all and I am a bit leaned towards the oppo one.. But I just want to know how bad colos os actually is.. and what makes it so bad
Thanks

I think it is a bug in colorOS as it doesn't let you disable all lockscreen notifications at once. The option is there but it doesn't work.

Are you sure that your volume keys and power button doesn't move when you slide your finger on them...I have asked many people and all of them have the same quality.

Just one question.. Is the color os that bad of a deal breaker? I was thinking of buying either the 10x zoom or the black shark 2.. Both have pretty much same specs and all and I am a bit leaned towards the oppo one.. But I just want to know how bad colos os actually is.. and what makes it so bad
Thanks

If these 2 phones are ur options, they unless until ur a gamer, u should go for oppo reno.
And even if u are a gamer, wait and buy nubia red magic.
Blackshark is just bad.

Hello! Congratulations on your purchase. I hope to follow your footsteps but do have a few questions if you dont mind.
1. Do notifications come through well?
2. Do the notifications show on the status bar up top?
3. Off screen clock or always on display, does it show 3rd party apps notification?
4. How is the video quality? I saw a couple videos from this one channel on youtube and his video from Oppo 10x zoom looked very washed out. Do you have the washed out look when taking videos?
I thank you so much in advanced for your help!!

1. Color os is aggressive, so its known to kill background apps. U will have to select apps u want to allow in background for notifications.
2. if u mean app symbol at top, then it shows.
3 video quality is okayish at best. they need to update it. stabilization is good thought.

1. Notification works just fine if you don't enable 'Super high power efficiency ' ON. For me all app sends notification without doing anything.

Thanks @Dooomlord and @mohitgalaxy3 !!!
Could you guys comment on the always on display or screen off clock please? Do they show notifications icons as well as the 3rd party app notifications?
Thanks again for your answers!
No, they don't show any 3rd party notifications.
By default, you can see only the fingerprint location. You can enable the clock, that's it.

The phone itself is really good but the software just sucks!
