Will Sony Xperia Z get the Google Play Edition treatment?
It is a great device, but it will be greater if will get the pure Android with rapid updates of the latest OS.
The latest rumors was that it will be released after june 2013, after Galaxy S4 and Htc ONE Google Play Edition release, but is september and ... nothing.
Thank you!
I doubt it considering that z1 has just been released.

Maybe! Or because it is the direct concurrent of LG Nexus 4.
I know that the android 4.3 port of Taylor Swift makes Xperia Z a Google Edition phone, but what happens if this dev stop doing the rom?
And the AOSP from Sony is not intended for daily use.
It is indeed a Google Experience using the port of Taylor Swift, AOSP or Cyanogenmod, but you get it much later than Galaxy S4 and HTC One.
So, there's a one reason left that makes me want this phone and that is the dust and water resistant feature.
The stock Htc One can be converted to a Htc One GE with OTA, i think this will be the ONE )) , because I can't buy directly from Google PLAY store and this will do the trick
Thank you for letting me share my thoughts!

No problem. You should get yourself Z1 a.k.a. Honami - it's better than Xperia Z and it's also water and dust resistant without flaps on mini-jack

the question has been asked many times, the answer is we don't know for sure, but probably as the ZU is only a year old and Sony have given kitkat to many older xperia
Xperia z ultra got 4.4.4 before Xperia z
If the Google play edition gets its then for certain it will be easier to port it to the XZU and we wouldn't need to wait so long. I think Sony made a mention that they will only release the latest Lollipop based Stock rom 90days after it is officially released by Google to the consumers.
Hey!
I just got a Z Ultra and was wondering about the current status/likelihood of compatibility with these two things?
1.) PS4- Word seems to be that in the future (hopefully) the ability to play PS4 games using your phone as a screen will be modded to work on other devices besides just the X3. Assuming this is true, is the Z Ultra more likely to receive this functionality more quickly than a non Sony phone?
2.) For those that use Amex Serve Softcard (formerly ISIS), does it work on the Z Ultra? I see that on the compatibility list other Xperia phones are listed but not this one
Thank you!

Have you ever found an answer to your Softcard question? I am not having any luck getting the T-mobile Softcard to work.

Why so negative all the time? Would you want to get rid of your Z Ultra? I will pay you if you are willing to ship it to one of the developers who are developing blind for this device.

You have no idea whom you are talking to, nor what i have done. I've already, months ago, suggested to mods that i set up a bounty for €200 for whomever first develops a fully working, no bugs that i can find, stock-based 5.0 or 5.1 rom. They said "offering money for services is not supported on this Developer's site". I have found and narrowed down the cause of problems that even sony's engineers haven't noticed. I have provided *solutions* that they rejected. If i'm "negative" for pointing out issues and facing situations in a practical way, then yeah, call me negative, i don't mind. I've posted on sony forums... noone replied except a sony support member who said that they have never heard of that problem. "lol". When i posted the same thing on reddit, check out what happened.

...well... the SONY devs might not even be working tomorrow. Who knows.. SONY in Lund is in the beginning of its end. Things are being moved to Japan
but on topic yes I agree with you. The SONY devs are the most ignorant idiots of programmers I have ever seen.
They insists on keeping on with using these sketchy unknown file hosts sites which throttles the down speed and in the beginning it was Uploaded.. they never reply to your posts...they are ignorant..and they open new threads here on XDA and writes "coming soon" ...like wtf!?
And when they have posted the link on their new thread there is like one line of description of what the thread is about
CyanogenMod is a free, community built distribution of Android 5.0 which greatly extends the capabilities of your phone.

I can say what you need, but I am a noob, I don't know that is right
You need:
Kernel Source
FlymeOS source
Open GL libraries for Z Ultra
Open CL libraries for Z Ultra
Open MAXAL libraries for Z Ultra
Open VG libraries for Z Ultra
ALSA libraries and usr files for Z Ultra
DirectX libraries for Z Ultra
Hardware modules from Z Ultra
Libraries for the Z Ultra hardware (srsprocessing.so,...)
You must Port your mixer_paths.xml for FlymeOS
All librariescan you find in all roms for Z Ultra

Tnx my friend for response to me
The Sony Ultra Z isn't on Sony's list of devices to be upgraded to Marshmallow, but how about the Google Play Edition ?
I think you're little late for this question and it won't get it for sure.
I guess I've been enjoying my Ultra Z for so long that nobody bothered to let me know it's obsolete !! (yes, I'm indeed late)
I have the Xperia XA so am still awaiting on Nougat, but I want to know from the Xperia X users who have already gotten 7.0 does it have the Night Light setting/Night mode in the system ui tuner?

Yes, system UI tuner is thankfully not disabled by Sony, nor is the code for night mode removed so it can be enabled from there with the help of an app called Night Mode enabler which can be downloaded from the Play store.
No root required.

That is good to know, thanks. It is about time such a feature became the norm in phones, it is so useful in Windows 10 after the Creators update. :victory:

This feature still isn't a norm in Android 7.0.x.
They've removed it from the finial builds of 7.0, and the only reason why it can be enabled with just an app was because the code for night mode was still present.
iOS 9.3 had it back in mid 2016
Windows Phone 10 Creator recently got it
Android... O hopefully.....

I thought they made it official in 7.1 Nougat? At least on Pixel devices? Not sure if my phone will get 7.1, we haven't even got 7.0 yet. Typical life of a mid ranger.

I think they'd have to wait for Mediatek to release with Android N kernel sources before any development can get under way.
Generally; Mediatek, and likewise Nvidia like to slack behind.
I though that the X was the mid ranger.

I honestly don't know what Sony were thinking last year, killing off the Z Series then bringing back the X Series with a over priced mid ranger which to them must of been a flagship. Then what makes it worse is that they've gotten rid of Xperia keyboard as well as some other stock Sony apps and replaced them with the Google equivalent, it just gives the impression that the ROM is half baked. I'd rather they made it all Google apps with the Sony media apps.
But it runs super smooth though. :good:

Agreed with the overpriced part. I only purchased with the X because it was on special. A medium-high mid ranger priced at below your typical mid ranger phone like the A5, 5X.
Clean light skin with some good nifty, but functional tweaks...... most other manufacturer phone.
Most of the Sony apps can actually be downloaded from the Play store, including the keyboard through it says that my device isn't compatable with it.
