Or you could link to the original thread that you took this from, that has a Google Drive link.

Didn't we already discuss linking to uploader's threads instead of directly to download links? It's the polite thing to do. :)

But you already thanked [NUT] in that thread. It's the same FTF. ;)

Thanks Sony for this crappy update. Now whenever I listen music in Pandora, Walkman app or anyother app I get this shuttering :( what the heck...

Does anyone know how to fix this?

If not I would need to revert back to 4.3, where everything worked like it should

Its not Sony's fault.. That's the bug of all 4.4.2 ROMs.. All bugs on KK of XZ is related to Google's original 4.4.2.. Only stutterings are the fault of Sony's since its kernel related.. All these bugs will not be in 4.4.3...

4.4.3 is already built for all Z series phones.. By that i mean Z2,Z1,Z1c,Z.. But its yet to be certified by Google.. And Sony will update according to prior devices.. Like in the order i mentioned.. Z2 first, Z1 second and so on..

So what you are saying is that is a matter of days now? Not weeks, months or years? :D

He is just guessing. It's hard to expect that Sony will continue to give support after 18 months. We will probably get one more update (.233 maybe) and that's it. I hope I'm wrong, but that's their way.
Yes, that's my feeling on the matter as well.

The support for this phone has far exceeded anything from any previous device of mine anyway (Before this I had a LG Optimus 2X. It received 2 updates in 2 years that both broke the device). People complain, but in just over a year we're now on the 4th version of Android in the phone's lifetime. Pretty good going. There are bugs in the current firmware, but that also happened with the first release of 4.2.2 and they fixed it.

After official support is dropped, my bootloader will probably get permanently unlocked and PA will be on there. :)

For me maybe this will be my last Sony phone to be honest.Terrible support,ridiculous bugs.Bought it at launch date,my first unit died on sudden death,waited 1 month for replacement.After that surprise,poor Wi-Fi reception,average camera,slow updates,and again bugs,bugs,bugs.Thank god for the AOSP roms.Even Samsung keeps updating s3/note2 which are older,faster than our device,and I can bet that after Sony drops the support for ours,Samsung will keep providing for theirs.Don't get me wrong,Samsung roms are beyond terrible with that touchwiz,but generally speaking their support is much better.On the other hand I feel tempted to buy HTC M7/M8 right now,because the stock units can be converted to their GPE editions which enables you to receive direct GPE OTA updates plus I can bet the duration of the support will be atleast 1-2 more years.Not quite the same with Z Ultra on which you need ported GPE rom instead.Nexus 4 even got the 4.4.3 update,it is older phone than ours aswell,why can't Sony continue to do updates?Exept the build quality,the rest is just meh.
