So STOCK ROM are best for battery? I would like to try CM11 but battery life is very important for me. What you think?
in terms of security you can check AOSP but for battery sony is still the best.

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....

TapaTalked from my Xperia™ (C660²) Z running Dirty Unicorns ROM!

I lost my root acess after the update and even tried towelroot but It didn't work.How did you get rooted after the update

I will put my steps in a new thread but i am busy right now,but since you are in 4.4.4,or you downgrade to 4.4.2 to root with towelroot or try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/general/guide-how-to-root-10-5-1-0-283-t2872873

Hi, pictures are pretty much the same as always everything depends on light conditions and settings on the camera.

Maybe something was wrong on setting and gave you bad pictures.

Has this update been pulled for some regions?

Customization number 1270-1412 is showing the update in the master list but I'm not seeing it in PC companion, OTA, or on the firmware checker page (no version at all, actually)

Cheers-

I have the same problem with Wi-Fi. Although I have good signal strength it disinfects, and switches to cellular Internet. The only thing I can do is to turn off and on the Wi-Fi ale ten it's all fine.
What rom did You switch to?

Has anyone noticed that when the Xperia Z has a very full internal storage the device lags?

I tested it out after clean installing the latest firmware and only setting up basic apps like whatsapp and so on. Once I put games and other apps on though the phone started to lag in general use.

This was not the result of open apps or excessive background apps. For me at least it seems related to data amount.
