4.4 update? - Sony Xperia Z Ultra

Just got the 4.4.2 update.. What's different? Not noticed much.
One thing that doesn't work is the fullscreen music lockscreen. Does that work on Xperia?
Thanks.

You're currently using the largest library of knowledge in the galaxy with everything you could possibly want to know just a few taps and clicks away. Yes; the internet, so please search next time. Here's a review of the 681. We didn't get the fullscreen music lockscreen, which is a shame

App's on lockscreen

Hi guys,
I just saw the demo video from ces. There's one thing, that I can't find out how to activate. When the girl is showing the features of the lockscreen, she swipes left and there's 3 apps. How can I get that?
You can see what i mean on this clip, it begins at 38. seconds

Does it depend on the firmware number or is just me, who can't find it in the settings?
I'm only on 62

Well goto settings>display>settings for lock screen But I've seen there no apps only notifications...
Or install GoLocker
It just could be great too have that feature, without installing any apps, just like in the video.
and yep that feature is gone,
Maybe in next update or ICS?
I do not know if it will help you in any way, but widget locker is an app which allows you to customize lock screen in any way you may need. It is not free tough...

[Q] Spotify + Google Play

On any of themer theme i press the player widget and it says me to choose a player. i choose Spotify, but there is no cover on the widget. Same with play music.

Thanks in advance.

What Android version are you using? If it's KitKat, we are working on resolving music issues with KitKat. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Improvements in KitKat

Ok we know about the issues in kitkat for the z ultra.
The question is, have there been any actual improvements or bug fixes?
Please note things other than 'smoothness' and battery life, which vary wildly from user to user. I am looking for objectively verifiable bugfixes and improvements.
Less problem with my bluetooth keyboard,
Wireless MTP is a nice convenience tool,
Immersive Mode is a must have unless you have rooted 4.3

... that's it? we've been waiting for 4.4 all this time for this?
im having issue connecting to my sbh20 headset. need to restart few times for it to push connection properly. used to work flawlessly on 4.3

If you play game or open app like quickpic etc.. you will find there will be no nav bar at the bottom. Sliding from top will give you options, nav bar etc.

Yes, that and the fact that KitKat is much more light on resources now. It's like going from Vista to Win7 (on resources, not features or bugs). There are a couple of bugs, but Sony has stated that we'll receive an update next week.

XZU is the best phone I ever had :good:
I have a few issues with Kitkat, the volume for the speaker has gone from loud to ultra low, the Sony music was reset and took my playlist and delete them all. But now my speaker for my device sounds like a piece of ****.

yeah i don't see any bugfix list in there. And why would there be? from 4.3 to 4.4 it's all "new features", not "we're fixing the 4.3 bugs". If it were a 4.3.1 or something, then there would be bug fixes. Now, it's all new bugs Like not being able to play all albums of an artist in order (this is the only problem i will list here, because this is a bugfix thread, not a "list of bugs" thread )

i've seen the opposite. before, i never saw facebook restarting itself. firefox could keep more tabs running.
i lose my chrome tabs quite often on stock 4.3
i wonder if kitkat will improve that or not...

I have no bugs at all on my XZU (running stock .136). So I never expected and bug fixes in next update.
I have 'Force GPU rendering ON' and it makes browsing (Opera) and reading PDF magazines (Adobe Reader) blazingly fast. Love my XZU. :good:
you haven't SEEN any bugs. There ARE bugs, it's just that you didn't notice them.

[Q] Gear Fit Manager on ATT S4

When I try to download the Gear Fit Manager (http://apps.samsung.com/gearfit) from my ATT S4, I get the following message:
This device does not support Gear Fit.
Anyone seen this yet?
Are you running a custom or non-touchwiz rom?

Its the same thing for me. I have a Note 3 and the site to download the software isn't up yet. You can get the one ported from the S5 if you want.

No. Stock rom from ATT.
I did get it (the Fit) on Saturday, so maybe it just isn't available for download yet since it isn't officially available until 4/11
Now I am anxious to get the new firmware installed.

Wish I was on stock. I started running Omni ROM 4.4.2, now I need to get back to a touchwiz based rom to help everything play nice when my gear 2 neo arrives.
Really liked the fit, hope you get it working and like it.

Yes. Just downloaded it. It causes a firmware update on the Fit when you launch it.
the vertical choices for clock style are very limited and, in my opinion, somewhat lame.

Nono, you have to go into the Watch settings, display, rotate settings. Then it changes ALL the existing watch faces - and the menus

Can you place widgets on your homescreen?
Is it every widget?

Yes can put the widget on home screen but nothing happens. I solved the issue. Went into settings and then apps and huawei home app and cleared the data. Worked like a charm. Only negative had to arrange my home screen all over again
