At 1:34 he states Wifi doesn't work, which to mind makes it absolutely fracking useless. YMMV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to go legit route, recommended for non tech savvy, simply go to the phones settings menu, about device and system updates. If there is one (unlikely?) then it will allow you to do so over the air (OTA). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicog Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Finally appeared on my Note 4 the other day. 1Gb download, simple update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Familyonthemove Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Update appeared on my Z1 - but it says I need to use a computer? Went to the Sony site and there's nothing on how to use a computer to upgrade the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I updated to Lollipop using the laptop - took about 45 minutes with typical Thai internet speeds. I only updated as I wanted a simple way to move Apps to the SD card to free up internal memory (not easy with Kitkat 4.4) - but my first impressions of Android 5 are not too good. Icons have gone big, Xperia keyboard has lost it's vibrate, and the quick menu does not have the option to switch the ringer to vibrate. There may be ways to fix these small issues - but I can't see them yet. But I can now free up phone memory now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moving apps to SD card in kitkat can be easily fixed by either an app from playstore, or simply add a permission in the platform.xml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dddave Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Moving apps to SD card in kitkat can be easily fixed by either an app from playstore, or simply add a permission in the platform.xml Any suggestions on which Play Store apps you tried for SD transfer? What is the "platform.xml? I've had a really difficult time trying to transfer photo's from phone memory to SD. Can do one at a time but hard to do folders or batches, Asus Zenphone-5, Android 4.4.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To edit an xml file you also need root. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Familyonthemove Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 My once fast Sony Z1 is now running like a cheap entry level phone with delays before every screen since updating to 5. Even the (now very large) icons in the home screen take time to appear one at a time. Several simple steps from 4 have now become multi-step processes too. Do not upgrade if productivity and efficiency are important to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
