There isn't really a phone I'd swap to.

Another Z2, but only because this hypothetical switch would give me an extra couple of months' warranty. There's nothing out there which remotely compares to this phone other than the Z3, and most of its advantages will likely be in the Z2 soon, too. And personally, I prefer the styling of the Z2 over the Z3.

Z3 compact
I would only trade it for the Z3, that hi-res audio is very appealing
Sent from my Xperia Z2
Pretty much the same as everyone else.
I've only had my Z2 for a few weeks, but as far as I'm concerned, I don't want to swap for another phone, even a Z3.
Like some of the other guys, I prefer the styling of the Z2 and, thanks to Niaboc79's ROM, I have most of the Z3's bells and whistles anyway. HD Audio and a slimmer design just aren't enough of a reason to upgrade to a Z3 and there's nothing else out there that catches my eye.
For me...
If my Z2 was completely irrepairable or stolen & I had to claim for it...
A M8, the M8 was my 1st choice but it wasnt available until after 2 weeks after I had already opted for the Z2.
I owe @niaboc79 the credit for making me not regret getting the Z2...
He has single handedly unleashed the dormant potential of this device.
I only used HTC devices prior to getting the Z2 and HTC custom ROM development is on a level of its own.
We are extremely lucky to have niaboc,
Kudos to him
Think I would consider an LG G3

That will be available in the next update for z2... Right??
Id probably swap for a Z2 with a 4.4.4 FTF on the internal storage
In other words im happy with Z2
You will need to wait until March / April time for the next batch of phones. After how Sony treated the Z2 i do not think i will ever touch a sony phone again.

Yes, @niaboc79's ROM is the single reason I have got a M8, REAL TALK!!!!!
Check out NUT's dual recovery for locked bootloaders, ist a combination of a stock kernel with a custom recovery.
There are threads in the Z2 forums that detail the process.
I have a unlocked bootloader, so I just smash & flash...

Quite the opposite, it's just that the Z2 ticks all the boxes for me, but at a push the M8 or Nexus 6 would suffice.

Can't people just be happy that support for this phone has not been dropped (yet), instead of complaining about timescales for release of the promised updates?
I thought people on these forums are a little more in the know than most places and would realise that it's not a fast process to prepare, test and release an update that isn't completely broken/full of bugs.
I guess I was wrong lol.

The developers here do a fantastic job and I have massive respect for everything they do for the modding/Android community. Several devices of mine have had their useful lives extended greatly because of people on XDA.
However, they are not under the same constraints as the devs that work for Sony.
Sony's devs will be under strict developmental, testing and qa constraints and cannot release updates with bugs and rely on people providing bug reports/logcats to fix said bugs after the fact. They have to release software with all features working and with minimal bugs.
Not to mention all the red tape/paperwork they no doubt have to deal with and the other devices that all need maintaining. I would also imagine that the budget for maintaining older devices is dwarfed by the budget for new devices.
It's also worth noting that a lot of the devs good work on XDA is only possible because of blobs/binaries provided by Sony's devs in the first place.
Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk
Sony releases an update with a camera app that takes 4 sec to open and everyone loses sleep over it while some1 here releases an update with wifi issues, screen on delays etc, they get praise for the device bring up which gets labeled as 1st release. lol
Obviously Sony cant depend on rapid development and recoveries and backups and all the fancy stuff we do when we get into issues when it relates to the average android user who by the phone and occasionally plug it in for PC companion to update and that's it. When wifi stops working no one is gonna say " oh this is a first release. They will fix it soon". People take back the devices and swap brands like that. Consumers are a fickle bunch.
Also as I have always said to myself , AOSP is the most barebones and feature lacking kind of experience out there. Android has matured a lot since the froyo gingerbread days and so have the OEM modifications. The reason I decided on the XZ against the N4. I am one willing to sacrifice smoothness for functionality any day. My Z is still stock and I will probably keep it that way til the EOL is reached. I came from the LG O2x which got ICS in December/January so trust me when is say I can wait lol.

I have seen no difference with kitkat and 4.2. apart from google now, now on the left. so I am not excited at all. The apptray needs the border removed on the Z, also camera improvements welcome.

Overall Performance seems better on KK. The difference between ART and dalvik is pretty big in some apps aswell. 4.3 brings trim.
The camera however ... Not so sure about that. I doubt they will even update the camera stuff. Why bother spending time and money optimizing an old flagships camera when people can just buy the New flagship with a camera that is advertised to be incredible? That's how a big company works. Time is money. Sad reality.

version is 0.0.1 more.
There is absolutely no difference in 4.4.4 (using it in my N4). Infact if you use an AOSP device, it will be hard to find any difference from 4.3 - 4.4.4. APart from minor UI tweaks, there is absolutely nothing for the user to feel any difference at all. I have seen enough of stock devices to know that.
Only thing is that OEMs add many functionalities to make the bare bone android phone decent in use. Otherwise, I have come to the conclusion that Android updates are pointless now. Most of the google apps are anyways updated separately, doesn't matter what version of Android.
The updates ARE significant from a security standpoint.

http://www.pcworld.com/article/2366040/android-444-fixes-openssl-connection-hijacking-flaw.html
Most of the time vendors will backport the fixes, so even if 'all we get' is 4.4.3 it very well could include the OpenSSL fix included in 4.4.4.

Not true, Sony was used to be lazy, now Sony is become the fastest to bring update..... Z1 was the first phone to get the 4.4.4 update before all other brand.... GREAT SONY KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK
Excelent!
That kind of behavior puts Sony as the first for my next smartphone / tablet.
The way they keep supporting "older" devices and the fact that their "skin" is light and not intrusive (cough* cough* samsung) is a big plus in my mind!
I wounder if they will enable features like 4k / 120+FPS on the Z1 with the update. That would be awesome to get thoses things natively!
Any ROM makers planning on making a custom rom when it comes out? I'd love for a 5.0 rom real soon.

If only the L features are there, which will be....that alone will make the device a whole lot better standby battery life wise and camera tweaks will help immensely. Many features users here on our Z1 forums have been wanting from the Z2/Z3 are there by default, an ultra stamina mode(restricted performance to drastically improve battery life in cases of emergencies), double tap to wake, move to wake, more camera controls(RAW, Exposure control, shutter speed and better quality photos).
Even if some of these aren't implemented on stock Sony apps the updated google apps for 5.0 will have them. I'm not expecting much from Sony's side either, but as long as they just update it, which they will, Google's tweaks alone will make things significantly better.
Problem is Sony ROMs are quite buggy. They haven't fixed the Camera not available issue yet and all headphones stop working randomly every 2-3 days and phone needs to be restarted. There's also a delay in the lock screen unlocking process. If they simply update to 5.0 and make it really bug free I'm happy.
Omg yessssss, they even confirmed Z1s, which is my lame phone hoorayyy victorryyyyy
---------- Post added at 09:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:18 PM ----------
Also, since Android Lolipop said it's going to have a new type of camera api, that probably means our cameras will be going full potential possibly, same goes for the Xperia Z where people said it had horrible quality for a 13mp? was it or 8? i forget, other wise I hope our camera improves a lot since it's one of Android L's new features, or so iread somewhere

yeah I think with some justification though, but thats partly down to the insanely stupid lolipop mess. They had this testing for months and still released a half bodged version which has to be patched up.

I find it to work pretty fine aside of battery life being reduced and camera missing camera2 API. If you think its half bodged version, what should Samsung and HTC owners say about theirs... Memory leak bug still present after numerous tries to patch it, while Sony released it already bug-free...
By all accounts, 5.1 still has the 'mobile radio active' bug that is draining peoples' batteries. I have noticed that bug and am currently testing my second install of 5.0.2 to see how much of a problem it will be with my usage patterns, so I might end up going back to 4.4.4 rather than forward to 5.1
Sony's Lollipop is great. Samsung freaking had to cease the update of Galaxy S5 because it was so bad. Sony's one actually had only one or two bugs which quickly got fixed. There are nearly no issues on the lastest firmware really minus the headphone profiles bug

Sony's lollipop has the same bugs as stock android as far as I can tell. It does have a few nice extras, but also has a few fugly touches and some bloat.
My biggest gripe is the Android "mobile radio active" bug... is no-one else experiencing this with the sony firmware?

No man, Sony Lollipop sucks because the Ram Managment is very, very bad... Maybe you don´t use a lot multitasking, but users that buy this phone and use it for work and need a good amount of apps opened all time with 2GB or 3GB of RAM are very disappointed, we are waiting 5.1.1 too, to see if Sony fixes that, we hope that. With 2GB or 3GB this problem doesn´t have to happen.

I haven't noticed any issues with the D5803_23.1.A.1.28 second release of 5.0.2. Rooted and running very nicely; battery life seems similar to KitKat, possibly very slightly worse (could be an updated app causing that).
I've not noticed any issues at all with lollipop I play a lot of memory intensive games and occasionally forget to close them >_<

What a nerd

Or you can stick with cyanogemod and wait for a port of Sony apps and câmera,Just like older xperias does...

I'm pretty sure we will get Android M through various different means, even if Sony doesn't do it.
Does this include the AOSP developer version or just official stable roms?
Official stable roms.

If only I didn't have a LB phone... bad luck for me.
I suppose around that time I will be wanting a new phone anyway, so *shrug*. 3 years on a handset is pretty solid IMO.

Bad luck man,3 years is good time tho
You'll be happy with z5 mate

I know that sony can definitely make it. Z1 is a beast even these days, and it isnt much different compared to Z2. It's just sony doesnt care to do it coz it's old. Though I think Z1's life should be a little longer compared to the original Z. A little unfair here.

Hehe, my xperia is just 3 months old I'm a little angry because a few weeks ago xiaomi released redmi note 2 that will get A6 and it's even cheaper than a new z1. Only it's not made from metal and glass and it's not waterproof.
Lets post that we need it

Judging from driver issues(ex: No 5GHz wifi listed on some device, and terrible wifi speed) on both 5.0.2 & 5.1.1, SONY seems to doing copy & paste the rom source from another variable like Z2.
Will there be any differences between SONY's official and ported ROM from Z2? I guess no.
No hating, but I suggest we all turn up the heat with Z1 getting 6.0. I mean look at the Z, it received updates up until 5.1.1, so it doesn't seem logical that the Z1 being a much newer and higher spec phone compared to the Z gets up to 5.1.1 only. We should get the 6.0 update. As for the Z, IMHO it's update until 5.1.1 is already a welcome farewell to the grandfather beast. Because of the Z, Sony has come along way.
Z1 got 4 major updates, more than most other phones, why are you all complaining it is being ditched?

Mostly because the updates where just all a mess except 4.4.4
But my mayor concern is if the Z5 sales fail - Sony will for sure sell their Xperia department this time ...
I was really keen to get a Z5, but considering the awesome specs of the Lumina 950 and 950XL, updates as you are used to get them on Windows I probably give it a try. Continuum is just to good to be true. Would the 950 be Waterresistant, no doubt at all to move...
Some people fighting for latest firmware. And there's people like me who still staying with Kit kat for stability and stuff.

The core of the ROM is mainly from another device such as the Z2, but they're built against specific device configs. It's really not that complicated and it's something that Sony could easily support as it'd be no different to what they've already done with Lollipop.
The Nexus 5 is similar to the Z1 and that'll be receiving Marshmallow. Hell, the Z2 isn't all that different from the Z1 either. The only difficult part to deal with is the camera, but it's not like Sony can't get it done.
People should keep complaining and demanding the 6.0 update for the Z1 and then we might end up with an update, but if people sit quiet and don't even bother to ask about it then we'll be stuck on 5.1.1 unless you want to unlock your bootloader and install ROM's that will never be 100% stable.
