The great update that Android Lollipop has brought to the entire Sony Xperia range, follow its process with the latest version released by Google of Lollipop. And it is that the flavor that the Japanese manufacturer has left with Android Lollipop in Sony devices is the best we have seen lately. An interface that moves perfectly and that carries all the best of Lollipop with animations and a visual aesthetic worth noting.
Now the Sony Xperia Z3, Z3 Compact, Z3 Tablet Compact, Z2 and Z2 Tablet can host the new version Android 5.1.1 Lollipop. This time even Sony brings us all the news that appears in this new update that reaches the little Android 5.0.2 which brought with him all the greatest virtues by Lollipop. The arrival of this firmware opens the way for the other Xperia Z to have their ration of Lollipop 5.1.1 for very shortly so do not despair the other owners of this range. You can even see a video that shows all the news of Android 5.1.1 for a device from the Xperia Z range.
Sony is behaving
And it must be said, Sony is behaving with its users And this has no other result that encourages the next smartphone to be purchased from this manufacturer. Updates on the devices are vital to continue being on the crest of the wave and thus the user can keep up with the news that Google brings with each update, which are many and very interesting.
The list of what's new in the update
- Improved customization options: you can have better control of the volume, mute modes and alerts.
- Integration with LinkedIn: to be more productive with intuitive synchronization of contacts in your calendar.
- Camera improvements: Superior auto mode is faster and more accurate for better images depending on the surrounding circumstances.
- Enterprise support- The latest Xperia in Business news integrated.
- Integration for smartwear: With the Smartwatch 3 a selfie is easier with the remote shutter button.
- Instant calendar events: create and share events directly from email.
- Calendar agenda in email- No need to switch between apps to check for impending events.
- More Xperia themes.
- New settings icons.
- Additional options for WiFi and Bluetooth in the notification menu.
Let's hope that under these novelties there is an improvement in the battery when the device is used, since in sleep mode it works very well, and that for the next Xperia Z the problem of Stamina Mode that does not work properly will be solved.
Lollipop camera API is missing
We wonder what where is the Lollipop camera API for manual control of basic options of photography. In this released firmware, the manual settings of the camera such as focus, ISO, shutter speed or RAW do not appear.
En the Xperia Z3 + is the only model that currently supports these manual settings although it does not allow RAW photographs. So do not expect more changes in this regard for these models, and less for the Xperia Z that remain to be updated to Android 5.1.1.
Hello, does anyone know why version 5.0.2 has not arrived in Peru (Claro) so far and if it did. 🙁
Are you waiting for your operator's version?
Wait seated, the operators with the issue of updates are a fiasco, better update your terminal by flashtool, it is the best way to have our terminal updated with the latest version of the operating system ...
I am from Peru and I have never liked having the ROM of an operator, so I recommend that you install from another country and that way you will get the update via ota. Today I got the notice and I already have 5.1. What if I am looking for is the way to root and install xposed.
I am from Peru and the xperia z3 from Movistar operator, I just migrated to Claro, but you can send me an email telling me how to update. I thank you in advance
How do I install from another country? I have a sony xperia c4 and so far I do not have the update (I do not want to rotate it)
Do you already know how to root version 5.1 of z3?
In XDA they have prepared a Prerooted ROM of 5.1. It is the only way so far.
My email is lizzarbe@gmail, write to me there to tell you how to update to 5.1.
A problem detected. When trying to play, the task bar is not hidden (it is superimposed on the game), making it difficult to display credits and other resources of the same games.
Too much battery consumption, it lasts much less on android 5.1.1, the audio on speaker sounds horrible. Because when they update the terminal they improve in some aspects and fail in others, they never do it well
Hello everyone, I want to ask for your help: recently I changed the firmware of my xperia z3 from movistar and I put the global generic firmware 23.0.A.2.93 and the model is the D6603 and so far I have not received the automatic update my z3 is still 4.4.4,
Will the automatic update come to Peru or what should I do ???
Jimmy,
The idea of having the generic global rom 23.0.A.2.93 is so that you can root it and you can put the pre-rooted 5.1.1 rom with recovery. You will never get the update.
Hello I bought a z3 in clear the month of June, but it came with 4.4.4 and we are already November and I continue with that version of android. I don't know whether to keep waiting or to update it manually but I don't know how to do it. How is it to install from another country so that I get the updates and if I update it with flashtool and those programs it is the same thing that sony sends update through pc companion. Thank you
