Sony Xperia Z2

This just made me quite happy Android 5.0: Xperia Z3 running AOSP: http://youtu.be/wFxnj2mb2hg

I'm just going to install the UK version myself. Wouldn't count on us ever getting the updates.

Vodacom says we will have the update either on 17th or 24th

I can't see it on mine. Haven't submerged the phone yet and am now too **** scared!

Well I saw that question asked somehwere on the Xperia forums.

Anyone running non stock?

No surprise that update hasn't come for Vodacom...

Yeah. I used XperiFirm and FlashTool to go to the generic RSA version of 17.*** (4.4.2). I then tried the Generic UK version of 23*** (4.4.4) but that was really really bad so back on 17.

I tried generic UK but ended up in a boot loop. Will go to generic SA next. Think I'll wait for the AOSP builds of 5.0

Has anyone gotten the update yet?

So... a cat used my Z2 as a launch pad off a table so now the protective film covering the screen is scratched. I'm waiting till I get a replacement screen cover before I peel it off to see if there is any damage underneath.

iPad Air also took a tumble due to the above but that was without harm. 20 grand of equipment almost destroyed by a jumping cat

Get a glass screen protector if you can. Worth the premium.

What is that?? Is it different to what came with the phone?

 

[opinionhated]

It's a toughened piece of glass that fits over your screen. Much easier to apply as well.

Just an example. Can probably get it cheaper from dx or alibaba. http://za.mobilefun.com/43376-muvit-tempered-glass-screen-protector-for-sony-xperia-z2.htm

I don't have a screen protector, but do have a case. Screen is still looking spotless, must say.

Anybody here experienced the 'self-cracking' glass problem that plagues Sony phones?

A colleague did

 

[ahoudet]

I recall someone that bought one of my old phones had that issue with his Z1...

Busy downloading 4.4.4 from the PC companion as we speak.
