Strange you should mention that, I'm (trying) to port Sense to Xperia Z.
I don't think it will work.
Maybe some other member could do it?
I'm too busy.

I have seen this sort of thing many times. The usual result of porting sense is a partially broken really buggy ROM worth nobody's time. Not saying its impossible, but its a ridiculous amount of work especially if you want it to be stable. Best way I guess is to port it from a HTC device with similar hardware, then at least half the battle is won

I think Xperia'Keyboard is better than Htc'keyboard :highfive:

So many have tried and failed. Not being negative but you might as well write a modded android version from root

XPERIA T no update to android 4.3

what do you think about that?

Looks like it is made by a 5 year old and Xperia T is twice in the image, 1 with YES and 1 with NO.
Looks fake to me.
Edit: And the Google edition of the Xperia Z will be updated by google of course... and don't know why it is in here anyway

I don't care anymore. OmniRom is gonna be the bomb and after my T it's gonna be a Nexus

I was going to get a nexus 4 instead of my crappy xperia t but no sd card slot was the problem. I regret buying this phone and worst of all I can't unlock the bootloader

Different strokes... Wait until you take a picture on the Nexus 4 (or from what the specs say the 5). Unlike the Sony, it is truly horrible camera.
The trick is never buy a subsidized phone, then it won't be simlocked or bootloader locked. That was an option with the Xperia T. I picked up mine for $279 at newegg.

The camera on my t is rubbish. When you take a video all you can here is a clicking noise from the camera

just to make sure what u talking about...you mean a noisy autofocus rattle sound, in videos?
if thats what you mean, i had that too with some Roms, but with omniRom its gone for me. dont know why. guess its a problem with some mic or whatever. happen for me just with some roms, not with all...crazy huh
thats your problem?

Maybe the Xperia T LTE is the one getting 4.3 update. I think the 3G one will not get the update. Maybe i'm wrong.

Neither are just like what happened to my play. A phone with specs good enough but not given the updates on purpose. If sony want to gain the market they need to release 1 flagship a year and support their previous flagships for longer than 5 months. The galaxy s3 is older and is getting android 4.3 and why aren't we?

I also will no longer support Sony's devices after this, kind of a slap in the face. They can take their T and stick it

this is what sony deserve after they screwed my over twice. First with my xperia play now with phone. No wonder why xperias depreciate so quickly

Because no update to new version and sony bad, nexus cool because google. New version is good, because it keeps on battery half hour longer/lasts shorter but better. And profiles/new function in camera which i will use two times in my life/better integration with google plus omg! And no new version means that flagship abandoned. I am betrayed. sony bad.
To be honest i don't understand it too. When it comes - it comes. If not - who cares. Update from 2.3 to 4.0 was a big deal, because everything changed. API, nature of Android etc. GB slowly died and became incompatible with many interesting apps.
But update from one jelly bean to another? Dudes... It's only features!
Please just be happy that Sony released quite recent well written Android version. It's highly optimized and allows to do almost everything that is available to 4.2 and 4.3 devices..

No AOSP for Z1? What is wrong with the device?

Sony just released AOSP code for whole bunch of Xperia device including Z and ZL. But what is going on with the Z1? The impression is winning that Sony has some serious problems with the Z1 as all the updates, news etc are hold behind...

Bootloader unlock issue.* There is nothing wrong with the bootloader itself.
But yeah it is frustrating to see them release an AOSP project for a low-end device like the Xperia L, while the flagship Z1 is still waiting. If I am to speculate I believe it literally is the issue with the current camera drivers, and I think we'll see an AOSP project for Z1 as soon as official 4.3 is released.

Hmm I wish we could somehow let Sony know that they should really look in this issue.
Apart from that, is there anything else users (not development experience) can do to help accelerate the fix for issue?

761 got improvements?

Now i am using 757 but i saw someones using 761.
What improvements got 761 compared to 757?

What improvement you get from a 1.81mb of difference. What 1.81MB of upgrade can do? Nothing, maybe just a speaker bug fix.

Well it did something anyway.
I had problems with lots of random reboots on .757 but .761 only suffered from one reboot while using mxplayer this morning.
So only one reboot on 14 days instead of one or two every day. So something has surley changed for the better.
Still touchscreen issues sometimes, just turn screen off and on and it works again.

Is there any battery improvements? This is the most important part y'know.

No battery improvements for me. I have an option to upgrade to .761 by PCC (LB, Orange Poland) but I still prefer to use Custom Roms like Evo ora Aur

You know what, I got another reboot tonight when browsing my movies!!!
It worked perfectly for two weeks and then it started with the silly reboots again.
I did not have that on 4.3 though. Must be a rogue app now that is ****ing up everything. I uninstalled all I could think if before this reboot though Surley kit kat issues since jelly bean did not give me these problems.

Same here for me, I flashed my phone like crazy with several different custom ROMs and stock. But I get random reboots each day no matter what App I am using and what ROM I am on. Sometime if I have to capture important moment of life in picture, but this phone ends up embarrassing me and Sony. Seriously disappointed with this phone.

Ye, I'm not impressed with the phone. But I got my money back actually and got to keep the phone. So atm I don't really care. I'll buy the oneplus one when I get the invite.
But did you try 136 4.3? That one worked with no reboot's for me.
I actually think it is the "movie" app that might cause my reboots now since that recently got updated. And I didn't have a single reboot for two weeks before that.
We must have something in our hardware that fails abit with kk or something.

[Q][opinion]Android L on Xperia Z

people what do you think of the new Android L?
do you think we will be able to the run the dev-preview on our Z ahead of time?
have you seen that the aosp build in the presentation got a battery saver mode?
basically i could post a lot of questions but what i really wanna know is your opinion and your ideas about it. btw do you guys think as this will be a major release that we will get it from sony as well?
here is one of the sources i read about:
http://www.gsmarena.com/google_announces_andriod_l_developer_preview-news-8864.php
and of course our portal
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/a-closer-look-at-the-user-interface-changes-in-android-l/

If Sony wants to to remove the "Sony doesn't update old devices " tag they have, they need to update the original Z line (Z, ZL, ZR and Tablet Z) to it. But, as off now, no news regarding Nexus 4, which has the same processor as ours. Let's wait until Sony give us a pronouncement regarding that...
Sent from my SGP311 using Tapatalk

Don't expect much, the Z already got 2 updates. 4.3 and 4.4. Sony thinks their job is done now. We could just run an AOSP build once they're running.

Except for us with the Unlockable Bootloader. =/

We received 3 Android upgrades actually.
The phone shipped with 4.1.2, then we got 4.2.2, 4.3 and now 4.4.2. ?
Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk

If Sony would support our Z for the 18 months, there is a possibility that we might get it.
They really need to get rid of their "bad" image regarding updates.

Doesn't matter either way, would be nice to run it, but the fact is some of the benefits won't be there for our hardware, and most of us will be due a new phone by then.

anyone able to get the hardware requirements? @kingvortex i know it's great, it's my first flagship device i am really happy with all the updates and roms and developers and stuff.
so you guys definitely think we will be able to run android L with or without sony?

Without, I'm sure. With Sony? Maybe not so fast. System Requirements, weren't even mentioned. But it will be running on phones cheaper than the Moto E, which is already extremely cheap by itself, so I think the Xperia Z (and brothers) will handle it just fine.

Yeah, but the problem with AOSP is bad Google camera (no Sony camera ported yet) and no FM radio

Kexec is very close to complete functionality for the Z1. This will enable unlockable Xperias to run any custom kernels

Android L is said to come to Xperia Z officially.. Probably the last update.. But i think its a major upgrade in terms of UI.. Its already known that Android L's UI includes a lot of Sony APIs and CM APIs.. With LG also working along, i think it will be very good.. And 4.4.2 was a initial major upgrade from Jelly Bean fw's.. And things got well in 4.4.3.. I think Android L would be less buggy and would bring more performance and system stability because of ART only.. I think it will be a big upgrade..

So, a guess from a random website based on what Sony did with KitKat. Previous update schedules don't affect the likelihood either way of getting newer versions of Android.

It would be great, but I have doubts that it will. HTC are talking about providing it for some of their devices 90 days after release. If Sony were to even follow such a fast schedule then it takes us well outside of the supposed 18 months of support for Android devices.
I hope they surprise us though. ?
