Heard that Android 4.2.2 for Xperia Z is currently rolling out. Need to update PC Companion first before the update.

Thanks for the help on the photo album question, everyone! I haven't posted on here in years (since I bought my c902 in 2008 which is still doing just fine, minus the keypad overlay falling off at the beginning of the year, and I've never bought a new phone unless the current one died, but with the move to smartphones obviously I'm beginning to miss out on a fair bit!) but I do remember this forum being really helpful!
If there are decent apps to organise photos, especially made by Sony specifically, then that will do me fine. I'll be waiting eagerly for the Honami... and also hoping it doesn't really come with interchangeable lenses, which to me seems like a bit of a gimmick and would surely mean the phone would have to have an ugly attachment rig thing on the back. |

Dear All,
Has anyone got any problem with headphone cover?
It pops out from time to time.

Yes mine pops out too. I tried wiping it but doesn't help. Will try the silicon spray method.

I'm thinking about getting this phone and was wondering, does later protection cycles have better display than the earlier ones?
Currently NExus 4, but want Xperia ZR. |

Hey Tapas
Good News, The Sony India site shows the availability of new update, "10.3.A.0.423". But I checked using PC Companion and it is not available yet for download. So it's matter of only couple of days before we get the update!!!
Good going Sony! They have outed the 4.2.2 JB update quite quickly considering the time they took for 4.1.2 JB. Good work guys and Thanks.

The changes I've noticed:
- Lock screen widgets are now available
- DUALSHOCK3 controller compatibility
- MyXperia - locate if lost service
- Daydream, can't see the point of this
- White balance app (not sure if this was in the last 4.1.2 FW)
- Quick Settings - editable notification bar widgets
- Task manager is now full screen instead of just down one side
- Task manager now shows the app that is currently open (this annoyed me that it didn't before)
- You can now use any widget as a Small App, like on Tablet Z (very useful)
- New turn off the screen animation (slow and even fade out)
- Slow Talk - slow down the speech of the other person
- Internet calling (not sure if that was there before)
- Developer options are hidden by default
- The screen seems to look even better again with this FW, I have no complaints with it any more, I used to believe it was average at best, but now I'm proud
I don't know what's new in the stock launcher, I got rid of that quite quickly. Also a few of the other stock apps I don't use (e.g. walkman) so I don't know if there've been any updates there.
There are a few things I don't like:
- When you turn the screen on and come to the lock screen the different screen's pane-style outline shows. I can see they've put it there to remind people they can swipe the lock screen to use lock screen widgets, but I have always hated those pane outlines, they're ugly and clutter the place.
- Swiping the lock screen from the right for the camera shows an entire lock screen pane with just a small camera icon in the middle. Hideous to look at.
- Turning the screen on from standby sometimes feels slow, I'd like to have seen it react faster.
- Unlocking the screen and waiting for the home screen to load up can sometimes feel slightly slow, I think they just need to turn up the animation speed.
All in all it's an ok update but they have put in some things that are going to grate my cheese a bit.
With regards to waiting for your region's FW, if you don't need the regional apps then try using flashtool and an ftf file from xda. It won't break the phone, you don't need root or an unlocked bootloader, it won't void your warranty.
..and it won't keep you waiting for a few more weeks.
