[Q] Which firmware is batter for Xperia Z?

[tnciw]

Since Sony push Android 5.0 for our Xperia Z，It has become hotter than before.The battery life is worse...too
What's more,the camera quality isn't good in Xperia Z
Althogh 5.0's design is beautiful，I think a stable and usful firmware is more needed

Between 4.2 and 4.3,I don't know which is better for daily use(stable network,long battery life and better camera quality)

please give me some advice, thanks for your help =)

I recommend you to use 5.0.2 with clean install (complete wipe and factory reset). My phone is faster and my battery is better then kitkat. Lollipop is worse then kitkat only when you don't use clean install.

I did a clean install,but it's battery life is worse than before...
Maybe I should install again and give it a try?

p.s. I'm using zombie kernel and existen Y

Clean install with flashtool with factory reset and wipe. After that root, remove all bloatware, install greenify and zombie kernel. I got 4 hours SoT without problems.

Flashing full ftf is the way to go, and if the bootloader is unlocked I would highly recommend Zombie kernel.
Otherwise, I would downgrade to stock 4.2 and don't complain about not having the fancy AR effect and theming.

Of course Lollipop... For its buttery smoothness...
If u has issues with battery nd heat problem...
Do clean install...
Use greenify or Amplify for better battery backup...
U can also use Cooler master app to cool.down ur phone by killing unwanted apps
