[Q] Android L on Xperia Tablet Z - Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anybody know that is the Xperia Tablet Z compatible with the upcoming Android L ?
I've heard that only devices which have 4.4 kitkat at lunch would be updated to L, is that true ?

That's not true. If it was like that, not even the Nexus 7 2013 would have Android L. We have the same exact hardware as Nexus 4 (Snapdragon S4 Pro, 2 Gb of RAM, 16/32 Gb internal), so our device is more than enough to run it.
I'm sure we will have some custom ROMS with Android L. If Sony will update it, it's another story. They should. But who knows? If not, there will be plenty of app (and maybe some framework) port from newer Sony devices to Xperia Z, for example, which should work pretty well on our devices.

[Q] ZTE GRAND X IN vs Live With Walkman vs Xperia J

Yes, This is a question but for comparation phones and I think it belogs here. If not, mods please move it
I'm buying ZTE GRAND X IN next week and I want to ask you what you think about it. Spec here
I might switch to it and give lww to my dad or vice versa if it receive JB. I read that it will get in March 2013 (this month)
So, what do you think. According to unboxing videos it has AOSP UI which I like it
Edit: And how about Xperia J? Same spec like our phones with planned JB update
xperia j doesnt have same specs
our phones are better
but zte is better

Why do you want the official jb? You could very easily use custom fw. if the phone has better specs, it will be smooth too.

If I can do it, I will done that with my LwW. I have locked bootloader and 90% I'm sure this phones will be locked too.
Ok. There isn't any jb rom for locked right?
Btw, you could try wotan server, (I know it's not free, but considering you have two phones with un-unlockable bootloader)
Back on topic, I would go with zte as j specs are almost like ours, except the jb part. (Heard zte was better.)

Jb roms couldn't run on locked bootloader coz sony didn't released any official kernel, rom or sources for jb for our phones and will never do it. So we need custom kernels for jb which obviously need an unlocked bootloader.
Press THANKS if I helped,
Best Regards,

Dont miss the ICON FARM!
Well, there is not even Z for ZTE GXIN and J anroid development forum is not that rich like this :/ I'll buy it but I'm not sure if I or my dad will use it
I don't know if this is bad news but ZTE Grand x In have x86 processor instead of ARM and some apps might be not compatible with it.

[Q] Sony Xperia Z1 Compact vs Moto X..

..which is the most popular/best supported by Cyanogenmod devs?
The Moto X has way more custom ROMs than the Z1 Compact but the Z1 Compact became available this January and the Moto X, August 2013. Anyways I'm pretty sure more Z1 Compact ROMs will pop up soon since Sony is a very popular manufacturer. If you're deciding which phone to get, I would suggest you the Z1 Compact.

I think the Sony is a better phone anyway, so that's good news.
Are there any good ways to judge how well supported a phone is/isl likely to be supported on CM, apart from asking around on forums? It would be useful if there was some kind of index based on numbers of recent updates, forums posts etc.

A small question

Will Xperia z ultra get upgraded to lollipop?

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.

Yes please, Im using the sony concept on my z3 compact phone and its amazing, its amazingly fast, and the feature I am waiting so much is adoptive storage, I have a 64gb micro sd on my tablet but since the 16gb internal fill up so much its pretty much useless to have a micro sd, on my phone on the other hand with android 6.0, it takes the micro sd and the internal storage as one partition, so I dont have to worry about moving any file, and as far as android goes, I have 70gb of storage , I NEED THIS ON MY TABLET NOW!!

same here, only got 5.0 update notification.
(I am still in 4.4.4, 23.0.1.A.0.167)
Still waiting Sony......
Still waiting. Early-mid March. Xperia Z3 Compact Tab SGP621. Heck, I didn't even get the 23.4.A.1.264 update.
dudes i have PERFECT results as concern speed and battery with stock KK and this fully debloating script http://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/kk-debloating-script-xperia-phones-t3192846.I have more than 10 hours screen on time with browsing internet.I am not an expert but from what i read about android 6,i don't believe that it will be more stable from KK.Basically i believe no-one OS till now is better from KK.And don't forget that 34% from all android devices run KK.Also if you have root like me,you can easilly customize your rom to add android M features

Anybody test if the new beta is aviable for our device? I can't because I have KK, like the guy above say the battery in KK is the best!

Doesn't look like the Tablet gets the beta.
Just have to wait
(But it works great on lollipop too, maybe better on kitkat, but I never used it on KK).
On the Z5 on the other hand, lollipop was lollipoo.
Its ridiculous we almost at April and we still dont have MM on Z3tc...
I have some bugs on my device probably fixed with 6.0.... Sony is the worst to release updates. =/

I know it supersucks because we and the z2 tablet are the only ones who don't have MM, z5 have it and Z3 and z2 users have the concept since December and now the beta... But us NOTHING, The Z3 line all have the same processor, the EXACT model, is that hard to make available the concept for us??.... .....
The whole Sony tablet phone is not bad to the ones are not super into especific stuff, but about updates and that Sony sucks a lot.
For me is the last thing Sony I will buy tablet or phone atm

what will you do more with MM?
This tablet runs better than every MM tablet ...
Anyway I have Samusng and Sony smartphones and they get MM togheter in march but for example Nexus got MM before: it crashed, drained battery and it seemed a crash test of the new Android version...I prefer a better device with a better software, also if the software is older labeled but play more things than newer

Trade Galaxy S3 (int) with Xperia Z

Hey guys I need your advise... should I trade my galaxy s3 for a xperia z?
definitely, 2 gigs of ram, lolipop, bigger screen, (maybe) better camera, faster ui

thats exactly what i though but im afraid that xperia z won't get android 6.0
as of now no official Marshmallow for the Xperia Z
Does the xperia z have the issue with reduced camera quality if DRM keys are lost with bootloader unlock?
all Xperias from the Z-family have this "issue" when unlocking the bootloader. You have to make a backup of the partition where those DRM keys are located.

It propably wont get, but neither s3 willl get official marshmallow. As for custom roms it has snapdragon processor so you can be sure about custom roms.
