Sony ZR KitKat - Sony Xperia ZR

Hello guys!
How is the 4.4 update in comparison with previous versions?
I'm planning to buy ZR, but wanted to know how is it behaving with KitKat. Is it better? Any improvements? Or disadvantages?
Thanks!

Could you upload this?

ANDROID L last update For Z,Zl,ZR,Tablet Z ?

well i askd my frnd who works for sony india... and i asked him about android for older device.... he said Sony are considering L for our device an that will be the final... with z expire date for updates is august an zr september... so fingers crossed we may get our last an newist android 5.0 on the other side z1 conpact got 4.4.4 today... hope the delay in india might be , we straight away get 4.4.4 nxt month
It's a little frustrating knowing you have to wait a WHOLE YEAR for the 5.0 Android 'L' update
But yeah, it's for sure the last update this device gets as our device will go 18 months in September 2015.
If I got my math right, we should get the update sometime around this time next year; May-June 2015, since it took almost the same for KitKat. Or it may release as early as Feb-March. The one main reason the developer preview for Android L is already out, so Sony and other OEMs will start working on making firmwares even faster. So let's hope for the best, people.

where does the information if it is not a secret?
Atleast Sony gave us updates right from 4.1.2 >> 4.2.2 >> 4.3 and now 4.4.2.
That's just awesome as compared to HTC and Samsung where they are not updating their devices.
Even if there's no update I am satisfied and will install CM 12 for AOSP love.
But I would love if there's an Update to L.

Somewhat surprisingly,Sony Mobile rolled out the Android 4.4.4 update for the Z1, Z Ultra & Z1 Compact...
I think we should get the update after the Z2 receives 4.4.4

Google Play Services 5.0 solved the battery issues for me. Look if it's updated on your phone.

Android L is in preview version not official, and our phone is almost 18 months old, so answer is no because thats the Sony's way. :good:

Sony never released beta ROM for their devices and they never will. You can't only speculate and give people false hope man. I hope that I'm wrong, but from past experience, you can bet it will be like this.

Sony did released Alpha & Beta rom before for Xperia Play & arc
Btw,Xperia Z is their first smartphone to make them more success,I hoped they will give another Android update for us...
See the Xperia TX,they are still giving small updates as it's almost 2 years (usually 18 months of updates,now already 22 months),they just released the 9.2.A.1.215 update last month.
It was launched on September in 2012 with Android 4.0 ICS,now 4.3 Jelly Bean,and 4.4 KitKat under investigation.
They are still consider to give the 4.4 update for T/TX/V,if no,why don't they remove it from the support page ?

The updates been up on Sony's dev website for at least two weeks now. I downloaded it, but have PC issues so I can't flash it ATM.
10.5.A.0.233 posted 2 days after they finally got .230 posted.. There was no change log anywhere, but that was right after they certified it, June 16 2014.

233 is still 4.4.2 and unless you're going to build from source, then the download on the developer site is of no use to you. It's not just a matter of downloading and flashing.

[Q] Official Kitkat 4.4

Hey guys,
Anyone knows when the official stock android 4.4 update for the i9305. A leaked samsung document said it would roll out in may, but it's july and i still don't have the update.
I know i could flash an custom rom but every 4.4 ROM i try has really annoying battery drain (i flashed CM11, omni, carbon, LS) so if anyone has an idea, please tell me! And if there's anyone with a battery-friendly 4.4 rom, please tell me!
Sorry for my bad english BTW.

Well to start off with, Australia only got 4.3 on the I9305T in the last few months.. NC1 is still 4.3.
The reason it's not on the list is because that's a list of approved/completed updates.
The I9300 was probably cancelled as it doesn't support the Knox Bootloader.
The I9305 does support Knox, so it's fair to assume they will release 4.4.2+ for us at some point.
Until Samsung release some official information on it, enjoy 4.3!
KitKat update for S3 LTE is ready. It's only matter of preparing (add own bloatware) by carriers. Some of them already rolled it out. Search google for: "When will my device receive the latest KitKat" - should be first link on samsung site.

The I9301 uses a Snapdragon processor... Maybe Samsung engineering team can t update the kernel of their processor (exynos). If Samsung doesn't update it is my last Samsung. Its a Shame... Bad advertising for Exynos products...

Once it gets released, we just have to wait for someone to un-knox it, so that 4.1.2 bootloader users will be able to use it...
By the way, what are the new features that it will have over the tw 4.3 jb???? (Apart from the ugly battery icon!!!)
Eagerly waiting for the update. I believe SG I9305 will get 4.4 soon. It's about time.

It's about the issue with RAM. KitKat was designed for 512MB RAM devices but unfortunately KitKat with TouchWiz needs 2GB and that's why only i9305 will have this update.
Theres no kit kat for us... I regret so much having bought this phone. Damn exynos chip!
Today i ve broken the screen glass...
I always tought that was a s4 or 5.. But i' ve learned the lesson, next phone: nexus 5, motorola x or one plus one.

[Q] What to update to next?

Hi all,
I rooted my LT30p about a year ago. Im currently on android v4.1.2 build 9.1.A.1.141 (which is what came installed on the phone when I bought it about 2 years ago) I now want to update to a newer version of android. I want to keep my root, but Im unsure whats the best most stable rom to update to and Im not 100% sure how to go about updating. Any help would be hugely appreciated.
Cheers
