When the phone is turned off, and is plugged in to charge, I find the animation lacking in information. Is there an alternative, for example one that has percent of how full the battery is or time until fully charged?

How do you find which firmware you're using? I've got Android Lollipop (5.0.2) with Cyanogen mod 12
The new firmware ends in . 28

I'm confused, ROM is different than firmware and root is also independent concept?
For example I like Cyangoenmod so can I use it with the latest firmware?

I use the term ROM for a modified Android system; like a pre-rooted ROM because has root and a recovery. A stock firmware is the one you install with Flashtool as Sony intended: No root, no recovery; just plain old Android without any mods.
Root is access to the system, so it is a very different concept. CyanogenMod is a custom ROM; you must unlock the bootloader to install the custom kernel that must be used with Cyanogen

No it doesn't. I have the newest firmware and it doesn't show the % of battery when phone is turned off an plugged in. Did you misunderstand the question?

Yes it shows up since Lollipop...Official Lollipop from Sony! The huge battery icon moves up and down as the battery gets charged. Just look at the animation files

Added a webcam photo of my Z2 turned off while charging; the battery icon is animated and shows percentage. Before Lollipop this was only available on the Z3.

note:thie method also works on japanese z3, and ultra stamina mode also works after apply this method. thanks @Advali for the information
playmemoris mobile is sony's camera app which transfer photos to phone from sony camera.
as we know, japanese z3c(so-02g) has different nfc chips.
if a japanese z3c(so-02g) flashes a d58xx rom, nfc will not work.
also:
if you flashed a 4.4.4 d58xx rom,nfc will drain battery, you have to pm block com.android.nfc to fix this,but play memories mobile will not launch;
if you flashed a 5.0.2 d58xx rom,nfc will not drain battery,playmemories mobile can lauch,but after launching, it will try to enable nfc, and battery will drain again;
now we have a solution(REQUIRES ROOT AND SYSTEM R/W):
first step: pm block com.android.nfc (for 4.4.4) or pm hide com.android.nfc (for 5.0.2).
this will stop battery drain.
second step:use root explorer, go to /system/etc/permissions, search "nfc", and delete all four xml files whose name contains nfc.(do this after backup)
this step will make your phone think it has no nfc function at all.
then reboot your phone, everything will be ok!
Will ultra stamina mode also work using this method? Thanks!

i can't try ultra stamina atm,because my z3c's touch screen cracked yesterday and i've sent it to repair...
i will try ultra stamina mode as soon as i get my phone again
but if you flash lollipop rom, with nothing modified(neither pm hide nor deleted xml files), ultra stamina will work and if you don't touch nfc settings by yourself or apps like playmemories mobile, battery life will be normal.
Excuse me for a stupid question, should it possible to use the NFC SERVICE files in the japanese firmware to make NFC works normal ?
sorry for my bad english

Already tested it bro. Ultra stamina works with this method. By the way I'm using a SOL26 variant Z3 with a .726 US firmware.
Before I had problems til I read this thread.

no. the difference is on drivers/kernel level, not that simple with a replacement of apk file.
since there's no lollipop rom of so-02g yet, i don't think we can port old drivers from kitkat roms to lollipop roms.
also, if we get a lollipop rom of so-02g, there's no reason to use a d58xx rom any more.
总之就是因为没有日版的5.0系统，所以nfc肯定用不了，有了也就不需要用这些非日版的rom了，在日版基础上改就行了。。

Hello Sir. i'm running the Stock OTA update on my Sony Z Ultra everything is running real smooth my only complaint why Sony went with such small icons when we have such a large screen where the Z3 phones is using large icons on 5.0.2 we should all call Sony.
Both mirror were anable to use...
I think due to too much traffic...

Simple fix, download an alternative launcher such as Nova Launcher. In my opinion it's the best launcher with the most amount of customization including increasing or reducing icon size. The default icon size was 100% and I increased it to 115% since they were indeed too small!

FWIW, I grabbed the US 14.5.A.0.242 using Xperifirm, turned it into an FTF using FlashTool, then made a flashable rooted zip with [NUT]s dualrecovery 2.8.9 using PRF creator 0.8, installed xposed 3.0alpha2 and rebooted successfully. EDIT: Gravitybox 5.0.7alpha causes bootloops.
Kudos to @inauthoritative for his work and posting it for all to use, especially for those without access to a Windows PC to use those tools.

As you can not remember, I'd only tell you from experiences from Sony .
Usually Sony updates have bugs, they do not iron it out completely and thus I have a bad experience with stock roms.
However the problem subsides if you use custom roms.
Do you want to go back to previous android build? I can write you instructions if you want to check that. However backup your data as it would wipe all data.

To update your firmware, you will need Sony PC companion to do it officially or you can use Flashtool.
Sony PC companion is the simplest method, however, if you need to know how to use flashtool.
Leave a reply and I will answer your query.
I do not own an Xperia Z2 . I look into forums and answer questions which have not been answered and ignored.
Good luck !
You are using a magnetic charging line, aren't you? If so this is not a bug. Sony intentionally makes auto rotate screen turn on when you use the magnetic charging port to charge your phone, because the port is designed for its magnetic charging dock.

The update should include
-Android Security update.
-Stability improvements.
-Moto Mods support updates.
It's 536.1 MB
Is this update mainly to support the Moto Mods 2.0 ? or is there anything else worth mentioning?
Is there any way to download this without using the phone?
Is it possible to restore a twrp backup of the system partition of the new version?

If you want to use hidden led (only white light) you can paste this driver (after unpacking) in /system/lib/hw. Remember to backup previous one.
PS Give right permissions and reboot, of course.
