[Q] What are the odds of Sony pushing Android 5.1 to - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

... z2? [not sure why the end of the title disappeared]
Seems like there are some worthy updates in this one.

They updated their aosp just days after the source was released so they are likely already working on the update

This!
And you can try out 5.1 with 3.10 Kernel from freeXperia

I think it should be relatively fast update comapred from 4.4.4 to lollipop

4.4.2 was fast
4.4.4 slow
5.0 slow
5.1 should be fast

What are the odds. I'd say it's a dead cert. I'd say the z2 will also be updated to the android version that launches with the new nexus in October too.
Z2 has a way to go before support ends.
Z will end on 5.0.2, Z1 may get 5.1 but that's in the lap of the gods!

Let them first rollout the 5.0.2 update. Apart from 2-3 regions everybody is waiting.

What regions were already updated? Which is the upgrade with fewer errors?

At this rate I would like to see them surprise us with a rollout straight to 5.1 if that is possible.

I honestly think all the Z series will be updated to 5.1 but if nexus 4 won't see the next version most likely Z won't receive the update but whole Z1 to Z3 will receive it.

[Discussion] Android 4.4 KitKat for Novathor Devices

Hello everybody,
I just open this thread to discuss about Android 4.4 KitKat for our lovely Novathor Devices
So here's my opinion:
I still have hope that Sony will update our Novathor Devices. Google announced that KitKat is fitting on 512MB devices well so it's not impossible Some people here lost theri hope on official updates from Sony but not me!
So what's your opinion about it?

Well, in my opinion, I've lost my hope...
But next week, SONY will release the 4.3/4.4 update plan.
We can still wait for it!!

THey wont update our phones. I dont even want the update from Sony. WIll take so long for them to provide a bugless 4.4 and im pretty sure our devs can provide a much better android experience.

Can they? Don't think so. Bluetooth & Wifi Tethering is an issue on every Dev-Rom. Well. If you don't need it... But i like the Stock 4.1.

I'm not putting hope on it that Sony will release an official update for our device.
Google itself won't update their Galaxy Nexus (http://www.theverge.com/2013/10/31/5051958/google-galaxy-nexus-will-not-be-upgraded-android-4-4-kit-kat) and its even more capable of running kitkat for it has 1Gb of ram...http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_nexus_i9250-4219.php
i will just wait for the wonderful works of the awesome developers here in xda
I would like an official update by Sony. It should cover things like floating touch and would bring my dead ICS XPeria Sola back to life. I'm not an optimist, let's hope I'm wrong.
don`t lost hope guys wait for dev. to release the latest ver. kitkat. its smother than sony update
hope my xsola will have 4.4 rom
We all hope that

Then you are most probably wrong. Stop hoping. Xperia U, Go, P and Sola will not get anymore updates:
-Novathor is dead, ST-Ericsson already closed its doors.
-Sony will rather focus it's resources on more expensive phones like Xperia S, T,Z and Z1 rather than low-mid range phones like Xperia U or Go.

Yes, dont hope to get the official update from Sony. You will be disappointed. Also our devs don't have necessary drivers for our hardware, so it is difficult to make a fully working 4.4 Rom. Hope our devs here will make our devices run on 4.4 with only few acceptable issues.

xperia p isnt that low range phone... Doesnt it have more possibilities to get kit kat?
dont think so that sony will update our devices ... but some great devs will surely bring the KitKat taste
Hope they will build a pure AOSP Rom ?

I dont think that Sony will update to 4.4 nivathor devices... But I am hoping for a porting !

tnx de message
If Sony didn't even updated their last year's flagship models, why would they update midrange phones? Even Google themselves won't update the Galaxy Nexus, even though it's more than capable to run Kit Kat.
Hmm maybe Android 4.4 KitKat isn't all about lower requirement. Maybe its Android 5.0 that we waiting and they should name it Android 5.0 LEPO (LOW END PHONE ONLY)

That would be awesome! Just a special version for low-end devices. But this also needs developing and time

If they had one sony would not roll it out. We are out of their update support. We receive only bug fixes.

The Z Ultra will get 4.3 starting next month, while 4.4 will take time (which is understandable).

But Android L is too far away, maybe end of this year.
4.4.4 may release for Z2 1 month after launching of Z3

I think I would rather wait another 6 months and get L, 4.4.4 isn't going to make a huge difference to how the phone runs

you will be supprized
4.4.2 is the reason why z2 has wifi ,bluetooth and avg load issues... some more, 4.4.3 will fix all of that and 4.4.4 is a security improvement from 443
in short 4.4.2 is causing minor lag and wifi, bluetooth and mobile data connection issues

Yes , I think so, I won't make big different compare to 4.4.2
Z1, Z1c users report that 4.4.4 has brought their phone a better battery life instead of new features.
Android maybe we'll get next year with "limited" features or we have to wait after Z4 announcement. Just like what they did to Z1, Z1c and Z Ultra (Got kitkat after Z2 release)
I think we go directly to android L

have you tried looking? In the original android development forum, there are already aosp and unofficial cm12 roms available, Sony confirmed lollipop should be rolling out Q1 2015 i.e before April next year.
Cm12 officialy is to be released within the next couple months

[Q] android l update??

According to many sources, there isn't exact date for that "yet". But I heard the rumour that Lollipop for Z3 is releasing
in "early feb", and I would expect it would be same for Z2, or 2 weeks later at latest.
I'd say longer, isn't it normally about 3 weeks after it gets put up for certification?
Sent from my D6503 using XDA Free mobile app
Usualy its about 2-7 weeks after it shows on PTCRB
