My z had the same problem going from 4.4.4 to 5 were battery life went from 2 days to under 1 and Android system was draining. When I got the z3 I did a complete wipe from the pc to change customisation and battery is 2 days good use Sent from my D6603 using XDA Free mobile app

I had this a few days ago it would only let me flash a newer os on the phone. Trying to flash a rom of the same version or lower kept giving me the error. But check drivers first I have heard others for it to work after reinstalling drivers in some cases. Sent from my D6603 using XDA Free...

Dw took the dive and went off what I used to know with some educated guessing and all is good Sent from my D6603 using XDA Free mobile app

Just bought a z3 but need some advice. I bought the phone and it was originally on vodaphone but was unlocked via one of those phone repair shops. (im not on vodaphone) Now here comes what the issue is. I dont like the stock voda apps and the fact they control upedates its still on 5.0.2 build...

Turns out media battery drain is from download manager it seems Sent from my Xperia Z in a carbon fibre case

This is general not q&a Sent from my Xperia Z in a carbon fibre case

Massive media battery drain now. Interestingly I didn't have the bug on any previous versions Only started 3 days no new apps or updates just out of the blue Sent from my Xperia Z in a carbon fibre case

Got the update yesterday ota UK generic works good no lag on my rom Lag for first 15 mins than sorted self out Only problem I have is media is using 50% of the battery Sent from my Xperia Z in a carbon fibre case

I've played with one the qx10 while the quality was better it suffered alot of motion blur it seemed and alittle delay between shots and user input Sent from my Xperia Z in a carbon fibre case

Problem is the imei is never suppose to be able to be modified in any way for legal reasons Sent from my Xperia Z in a carbon fibre case

So it's official Sony hate UK unbranded users Sent from my Xperia Z in a carbon fibre case

Never.... (joking) Considering we were left out of the last few updates wouldn't surprise me if we are the last to get this one. So I would guess a month Sent from my Xperia Z with a carbon fibre case

Your irritated after a month thank God your not a UK unbranded user then. Aosp builds have nothing. The best Roms add features not take away Sent from my Xperia Z

Under Eu legislation a shop has to give 2 years fault warranty its not a well know thing though so keep arguing and threaten lawyers then they will just replace Sent from my Xperia Z

I'm tempted to make one I even have some carbon fibre vinyl I could use to make it look like a actual bought product possibly Might draw up some plans Sent from my Xperia Z

More than likely firmware based restriction you could try flashing a generic ftf that has access to more lte bands Sent from my Xperia Z

Yer UK unbranded have been told that for awhile.,... Sent from my Xperia Z

Better camera, Wi-Fi, battery ( varies though), black on screen buttons Faster and smoother animations apparently as well Must importantly a better screen calibration, I've played with a z on .253 and the screen is so much better Sent from my Xperia Z

Well I've checked with there online support twice both times with the standard rollout reply but surely someone would have raised the issue with uk updates being behind with a higher management. So more likely design. It's not the lack of updates that bothers me but the lack of an explanation...

Other countries have released unbranded before some of the carriers Sent from my Xperia Z

Really don't get the UK update policy makes no sense really just annoying now Sent from my Xperia Z

What's the current latest official firmware for UK unbranded z? There doesn't seem to be any threads active on it anymore. Is the UK still officially on. 434? Sent from my Xperia Z

See if you can guess the firmware Sent from my Xperia Z

So when is the Rom out Sony seems to not be supporting UK unbranded past. . 434 anyway And before anyone says "flash another Rom" I have, but it just feels wrong its come to that situation where we are 2 updates behind now Sent from my Xperia Z

Well surely if it's certified for use its been tested and working Also why do you get so defensive of Sony? I'm simply trying to bring some other alternatives into why the update is staggered with no explanation to how the update is being rolled out. Just seems weird Sony is the only one in...

i would say very much neglected as surely they dont have to side with the carriers when it comes to unbranded devices since carriers have no say in them. you are working on the assumption that it is still 02 holding back the update but the truth is you can use a 02 sim in a phone flashed with...

Both. Can't seem to understand why the uk is so neglected by Sony when it comes to updates. Considering at one point 1/3 of the posters around where xz adverts Sent from my Xperia Z

I bought a cheap £4 case of eBay it's leather and plastic about 4 mm thick and I have never had issues. Tested with beam to a n4 and with a nfc advert Sent from my Xperia Z

All it means is there adding stuff into the update and testing as they go along for the bug fixes. For all we know is that there going to make the update to 4.2.2 include all these fixes and improvements since 4.1 and 4.2 are so similar anyway Sent from my Xperia Z

Can't download vice city at all currently Sent from my Xperia Z

Ok makes more sense I hate digital zoom Sent from my Xperia Z

I would much rather see it flex alot then shatter personally. If it can take as much abuse as you say then it simply makes me more confident in its ability to survive damage Sent from my Xperia Z

You never use digital zoom. It's pointless since it basically just crops and stretches the image. I don't know why they added a digital zoom in since it only ruins pictures normally Sent from my Xperia Z

Best phone so far I find The fact it's so close to stock android compared to everything else I find a real bonus as well Feels like a nexus but with the Sony bonus features rather then a forced view of what they think android should be like e.g Samsung Great camera Good battery life I find...

My battery seems to last fine Sent from my Xperia Z

nice guide. well done personally don't use facebook anymore but still really usefull for others to know.

dont know if you remember how bad piracy was on the psp but everyone over 12 and under 40 pretty much had custom firmware on there psp and just downloaded the psp games and emulated ps1 games on it. i know people that still use there psp's and wont give them up. most developers stopped psp...

No wifi issues here its says low signal sometimes but been perfect so far Sent from my Sony Tablet S using xda app-developers app

i would just be trying to post the most % save wouldnt have to be a 100% ans saves that are at important points in the games

ok this post is going to have 3 parts so bear with me 1. does anyone have a 100% crash bandicoot 2 save file? 2.does anyone know how to convert .gma/.psv to .raw files 3. would anyone be interested in a thread dedicated to save games. ive been thinking about the idea of having a thread...

they submitted this is 2010 or 2011 i believe so dont go thinking its the xplay replacement just yet its been around aslong as the xplay idea. but sounds good but in use would probably be hell 2 sliders just sounds like its going break easily.

just thought i would reply first of when i sleep if i need the alarm i turn the flight mode on as the battery only uses between 1-4 % a night normally 2 i dont have a standalone option only turn gp on and off r800i 2.3.4 but i dont have any battery issues really if my battery is draining...

besides the time messing up i havent had any issues with gameloft so far but i have heard horror stories

they let users download 9mm again for free today as they messed up the initial download offer by ending it early also did anyone else notice the offer for shrek kart lasted for less then 55 minutes they really messed these offers up but i did grab spiderman and 9mm for free and got modern...

they updated them before Christmas to 1.04 so its likely it doesnt add support for ICS directly but rather there is a different method used to verify files and zpaks that psxperia has not been programmed to replicate with home ripped PS1 games. even worse news is that if im correct then there...

actually im not waiting for an xplay 2 im perfectly happy with it currently. i also would not buy it if it had a larger screen as it ruins the point of it being an xperia play you might as well carry a vita if the screen was any bigger. also specs dont bother me really i know you need them to...

if you were worried about reverse engineering and the law you shouldn't even be using this project really as it would still be illegal. extract the apk and zpak from the tablet and try sony have no way of knowing you have done it anyway. all you need is root and titanum backup to get the apk...

i take it you have tried this already on the tablet s and it failed then have you tried both the provided files here for data and the app/zpak files taken from your tablet? try both out first if not only way is to find a developer to take up the project p.s why do we have like a million ROM...

yer i had that issue for the first 1 and 1/2 weeks of use but i found that after installing a few more apps then it shipped with it stopped after about 9 apps

tomba 1 and 2 have worked perfectly for me for months you have to enable SW on tomba 1 though
