[INFO] Comments about last update 4.4.4 Xperia Z

[ToxyCat]

Hi everyone!
Just got the 4.4.4 from Pc companion.

It seems ok! Fast and smoother than 4.4.2

Battery drain is just ok but was better on 4.3 version.

RAM is occuping a lot for some apps:
Settings ~140MB
Google keyboard ~50MB
Facebook -113MB
Google search 56MB
New xperia live wallpaper ~100MB !!!????

Do you notice the same or similiar things??

I still notice temperature is increasing easily when looking on web, facebook, youtube after a while.

I still think 4.3 version (.101) was the best for battery and less heating on back cover.

I also tought "Move to SD" option was coming but nothing!

How you doing with this new update???

Aosp its the best option for me

Notification sometimes is partially opened and there are still problems with music but less than was on 4.4.2. Performance ok

The lag is finally gone, the Phone is really smooth.
Battery life definetly improved
Google location battery issue is finally solved.
There are still sound problems, the sound lags from time to time.

Overall, very pleased with the update

It's butter than the 4.4.2 specially buttery life but I still prefer paranoid android

I don't know you guys but with 4.2.2 and 4.3 this phone was awesome but now I can see he doesn't like this s***
that much...

Notification bar is not always so smoother and temp is going up easily. Maybe I should try to flash with flashtool.
Then if nothing is better i'll go for Cyanogen or an old stock update.

Please tell what you think after days and if you find issues!

There is one pure aosp but not on xda due some blabla, pabx one. In cm11 rootcloack is not working anymore. Pabx rom is the fastest and stabe for me, combined with snaphdr the photo quality is the same like in sony rom.

I'm about to unlock my BL and would like to install some custom rom, aosp or cm based. So can someone recommend me some, with a lot of features, like double tap to wake etc... Feel free to pm me if for some reasone it's inappropriate to post it here...
Help is very appreciated, thanks.

Is it just me or is the default white balance settings not that great in this update:?

I came from KMV from what I can say between AOSP and Sony Stock ROM is that stock rom no matter what will always have the best battery life but in terms of security fixes AOSP :3

Hi, I don't see any problem.. white balamce is the same as always. Try to play with that setting and maybe you get better white.

So STOCK ROM are best for battery? I would like to try CM11 but battery life is very important for me. What you think?

Ok

I just flashed it today and after few minutes flashed other non stock ROM

It was disappointing... In other pages saying WIFI IMPROVED but it wasn't

I've faced a WiFi problems like dropping and no internet access while I'm actually connected. Same as other stock ROMs
The speed was great. Battery life was ok

But the WiFi is a huge problem for me. That's why I flashed custom ROM....

well the wifi works good in my eyes and better then on 4.4.2 bro

I dunno bro but my home WiFi is pretty weak. So I got drop outs but it's perfectly fine on custom ROMs
Maybe it's yes better than 4.4.2 but my home WiFi is weak and that's may be the reason
But I can say it's need little improvements

Google wallet tap and pay works on this update as HCE is finally enabled. I'm using it on a c6606 with the generic ES update on it.

I flashed the generic es version of the 4.4.4 update onto my wife's c6606. I had previously read that NXP HCE support was added into android after 4.4.2. When I opened up wallet, I was asked if I wanted to set up tap and pay. It now works, though I'm sure all the general wallet restrictions apply (us only...).
