Hey just wondering if anyone knows if sony xperia z1 3000mah battery would fit into xperia z as have had lousy battery performance with the original 2300 mah one. Thanks andy
pictures of sony z1 / z2 / z3 are not beautiful, I saw photos of meizu MX4 with the same sensor are beautiful. someone manages to make porting software camera meizu MX4 for sony z1 / z2 / z3? Thanks to those who help me!
Please post in Xperia Z1 General so that the right experts may suggest alternatives.
Some minutes ago Sony wrote in his blog that all the Z phone series will get the new Android. And it's while it has not said about other phones like T2 Ultra, C3 and other 2014 phones.
But the good point is even Xperia Z, made in 2011, will receive this update.
And the first rolling update will be for Z2 and Z3 in the early 2015, and then with a late, others like Z1, Z1C, Z1S, Z T-mobile, etc will get this update.
But Sony did not mention the Japanese and Chinese versions of Z phones.
Here you'll see the Z family phones

Sony has released their 6.0 roadmap, and M2 / M2 Aqua is not included.
Xperia Z5, Xperia Z5 Compact, Xperia Z5 Premium, Xperia Z4 Tablet, Xperia Z3+, Xperia Z3, Xperia Z3 Compact, Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact, Xperia Z2, Xperia Z2 Tablet, Xperia M5, Xperia C5 Ultra, Xperia M4 Aqua and Xperia C4 are going to get the upgrade.
It was expected. But what I didn't expect tho is that the E3, E4, and T3 never recived a single major update (They were all released with KK, RIP!).
At least we have a working, stable & Sony Stock 5.1.1 Lollipop (And developers are also working on cROMS with camera!)
I knew that anyway, T3 just wasn't a popular enough device there's less than 800 registered users on sonys support forum worldwide I've only seen one in pictures. Also been trying to tell people in the xperia groups on g+ for weeks that the z and z1 wouldn't get it not that they'd believe me.

Well, i had no hopes for the regular M2 since it`s past its support period (18 months for mid rangers), had a minor hope for the M2 Aqua since it`s newer. Anyway, the M2 had a good life, and indeed, 5.1 is stable and perfectly optimized (just as fast as the Motorola G 2014, a friend of mine has it so we compared). Hopefully they update it with a fix for the kswapd0 process sitting at 40-50% all the time and draining battery. Still getting 1 day out of it with normal/heavy usage, so it`s not a deal-breaker.
As far as the E series are concerned, budget phones never get proper support, OEMs make nothing n terms of profit from them, hence the lack of support. Even Mototorola, who IMHO, has the best trakrecord when it comes to updates besides the Nexus line, dropped support for the budget E line (2014 and 2015) models.
I will certainly be paying the extra come upgrade time to get the best Xperia device I can afford.

expected. it was a surprise they tretaed us with the 5.1.1. update and astable one too... lets hope they bother to fix the camera, gps and battery issues, and it was more then enough for the good old M2...
I know the 18 month support its over, but I still have a hope on the good old M2, just because the release of Android M preview on the developer section. That's how it started with Lollipop. So, even if I'm pretty happy with stock 5.1.1 (except for the camera), I would be pretty positive about getting a late release of M.
the good news is xm2 changed cm12.1 alpha to beta almost fully working, and waiting for cm13 , thanks cm team veryyy

It has been reported by @semil and confirmed by @linuxct that changing the swappiness value to something between 40-60 improves it (with zram enabled). Obviously you need root. Just make a /etc/init.d script with the following line
Code:
sysctl -w vm.swappiness=60
(you can change 60 to 40 or else while testing) or add it to /etc/init.d/00stop_ric. It changed f. nothing to my phone, though. It's driving me mad.
Anyway, 18 months support is pure bollocks. It should be at least 2 years (but I'd say 3), for all phones respecting the minimum requirements. The Xperia Z is still a great phone, I'm sure it will be more capable than some new low range phones that will have Android M pre installed.
To be very honest I wanna say something bulldog that though Sony z5 got a powerful snapdragon 810 chip support than Sony z3's 32 bit snapdragon 801 motherboard but I disappointed when I saw that Sony ź5 is out of devices list from carbon rom cr 6.1
I like that rom carbon cr 6.1 and beta cr 7
But I'm stuck on z5's stock nougat 7.0
And I hate this rom.
Now seriously planning to revert back ? to a Z3 device so that I could enjoy the carbon roms you beauty.
