Xperia Z5 never came with KitKat, shipped with 5.0 Lollipop
I know, so is that a problem?

Z1/2/3 Yes but why would you need KK? The latest build of .224/.253 is quite stable in my experiences and enough to replace KK. And Z3 won't receive android 7.0.

I hope we can discuss here about Sony update and support for our phone...
Do you think that we'll get a Lollipop build from Sony?

this phone is just released this phone must get lollypop update. that is why i bought this phone.
this phone has z3 looks so if z3 getting lollypop this will also get. but problem is we are not running 4.4.4 so that mean it is a bit difficult to tell next update will be 4.4.3 or 5.0.

Really, but what makes me sick about Sony is the very bad support!
I got a time ago a Xperia L and it was updated only of 4.1 to 4.2.2, fortunately i got non-official 4.4
My last Sony was a Xperia M and same thing happened, XM stuck on 4.3, iven it's launch was in time to get official kitkat update from Sony.
Now i'm with my XE3 waiting for the Lollipop update, maybe Sony disappoint me again?
Android 5.0 (Lollipop) is the most agressive change on the android plataform, the new runtime ART give us a lot of free RAM and battery life. I want it!

After seeing this post I think we ain,t gonna get official update to lollipop ? we have to make unofficial update. Sony has a pretty bad support.

If Sony persists to the same tactics as before then their market share will drop further since there are a lot of people who buy their midrange phones.

Yeah! We need this new ART runtime, the blue and white look is awesome, clean backgrounds, amazing icons, fast boot, RAM and battery use improved, i'm really intersted on it.
we know the 'bad-support' of sony on updating, but I think the E3 should have got at least 1 major update, such as previous device. just take last year low end as example, such as E1 which jumped from 4.3 to 4.4 or M from 4.1/4.2 to 4.3. So the good may be we'll have 5.0 update, yet the worst we only have 4.4.4 update. But unofficial update surely will come, as S400 is really popular.

This device is in supported devices list of lollypop and even sony knows that and after aosp is released making lollypop update is become easier for sony and this device is famous for it,s z3 look and without lollypop it won,t look alike z3. They have to update it.
Any way to downgrade to Kitkat 4.4.4?
Thanks
Mod Edit:
Thread closed at OPs request.
You can downgrde by using Flashtool by @Androxyde and flash 4.4.4 ftf for your model but you will loose your data because of lollipop ART. If you need a ftf i can upload one for you

Thanks. I'm not going to flash it right now, but I'll need latest version of Kitkat available for D2302. I'll get my hands on a PC in a week, then I'll flash the phone.
I have one question though.
After downgrading through flashtool, will my phone be able to recieve OTA? (in case they decide to release fix for camera) Or will I have to flash again for update?
And I saw that some people were saying they had good camera after lollipop, May I know what did they do?

Yes, after downgrading you will be able to OTA upgrade to lollipop but I think OTA won't work if you have an unlocked bootloader. And i don't know how people with a good camera quality have do this.

Thanks! I have an unlocked bootloader. I'll definitely flash Kitkat now.
Hi,
Could anyone please upload latest stock Kitkat 4.4.4 ftf for D2302 India?
Is there any difference between different countries ftf? Like FM frequency, etc.
And one last question, Can I flash stock Sony ftf with Locked Bootloader? And will it still be able to get official updates?
Thanks

Flash a 6.0 FTF from a region with the OTA update, then you will receive the 7.0 OTA update.

All XZ's have the same stack of worldwide antennas, so customizations differs only in numbers of themes and potential bloatware. Just go ahead and use any of European ones, if you are not sure

Hi folks,
I was running the Vodafone UK rom, but it's so out of date I decided to flash over to the latest UK generic.
In doing so, i've lost the Xperia Messaging app.
Would any one happen to know where I can get this? I prefer it over the Android Messages app.
Thanks
AH
Look here :
For Xperia messaging:

Hi, i'm looking fo sony messaging working on android 9. I'm using xperia xz1 compact running android 9. Thanks
Xperia Messaging doesn't and propably won't support Android 9.0 Pie, since the last device to have it instead of Google Messaging, is the XZ which got 8.0 Oreo as a final update.
There is a new version on apkmirror,but don't wont install on my xz1 compact with android pie. Any solution? Thanks

Flash this in recovery, or unzip and place the files manually, whatever floats your boat.
Works for me on my Australian .306 Pie firmware.
