ZL straight to 4.4 ? - Sony Xperia ZL

Will there be an official 4.3 release for the ZL or they wait for 4.4 wich is starting to be pushed over AOSP as we speak ?

Z/ZL will get 4.3 guaranteed official, 4.4 is highly questionable since they are releasing new flagship phones (ie. Z1, Z1s/f, likely Z2). Even the Z1 doesn't have 4.3. I wouldn't get my hopes up.

According to this logic every phone would stay in limbo waiting for the next update as Google releases them quite frequently. Your phone will get 4.3 and eventually 4.4. Don't expect more.
Also this thread is far from being development related, so be careful before you click the submit button next time.

I will be satisfied if ZL got at least 4.4 as the last upgrade.

Same here ! I mean why not ? Wasnt the idea behind 4.4 was to upgrade lower end phones to an acceptable lvl ?

[Q] Xperia ZL lag issue.

I've a Xperia ZL n my sister coincidently brought a Z as well, I compare my phone to her phone, my ZL is more laggy than hers...strange...both our phones got the same UI, firmware n tech specs...I'm wondering...
Both on Android 4.1.2
Both with nth installed(new)
Both running on 10.1.A.1.434
Both with MBE2 on
Both with xLoud on
Both with Clear Phase on
Both with Developer Options n USB Debugging on
Both with animations on 1x
Both hv password
Both with GPS n aGPS on
Both with a 32GB Class 10 MicroSDHC card installed
Both with SIM card installed n with data traffic on all time
Are there any way to optimize my ZL to be as smooth as Z without rooting?
Both without task killer
I noticed the ZL displayed on the Sony Center is smoother than my ZL. Weird. I never tried this but perhaps you can either do full wipe or install a clean ROM, try various region of ROM. One might be smoother than the other
Do I need to unlock the bootloader or being rooted to flash official ROM?

No you dont need to unlock the bootloader to flash stock rom. Just repair your phone by pc suit or flash stock firmware by flashtool.

I think it will be 4.4.2 ,not 4.3,because M was on 4.1.2 and M dual on 4.2.2

So that would open doors for Xperia M Single to KitKat aswell. And atleast we'd stop cursing SONY more
Edit : What i dont understand is this bizzare love of Sony for Xperia M Dual. Got 4.2.2 out of the box and now the speculation of M Dual getting 4.4

15.4.xxxx and
15.5.xxx can't be the same android version, the
second number (assume it to be 'z' in 15.z.xxx)
always changes with with newer android version,
you can check it for all xperia devices ever

Xperia Z ultra has 14.3.A.0.681 and it is android kitkat
Same for Xperia Z1 , it has 14.3.A.0.681 and it is android kitkat too xD
Ummm... What u wana say?
then dual revision will get more than 4.3 ?
I wanted to say that we are not going to android 4.4 kitkat.
We will get Android 4.3 only, same as Xperia M with single sim.
Anyway, we are already waiting, so keep waiting and we will find out soon

We may have Android 4.3.1, thats a minor upgrade to 4.3
Yet, whatever the Android version it maybe according to my experience I would say that Sony will make our firmware much more stable n better then that of M Single Sim Variant.
For example :
1. We may have fully working Xperia themes.
2. We may have the actual Social Camera with more official modules.
3. Sony's home made calculator instead of the AOSP one.
4. More Quick Settings in Notification panel.

M Dual firmware was more stable compared to M Single at its release. Its my personal exprience.
And its not only me but others too think the same that Sony will give more importance to M Dual.

[Q] Urgent Help - Xperia ZL c6506 on 4.1

I have a unlocked c6506 from Claro and it is still running 4.1 with 10.1.1.A.1.253 baseband. Claro has still not provided 4.2. and 4.3 updates plus there is too much bloatware on the device. Can someone guide me to load a stock ROM (4.3) since my bootloader is locked.

I can directly flash a 4.3 FTF without going to 4.2 ? If yes, can you share a link to the stock ROM for c6506.
