I updated my z ultra to the 5.0 lolipop version,but it is very very buggy.
1.The wifi is turning on and off from 2 to 2 mins IT IS VERY ANNOYING **bleep**
2.The camera is very laggy comparing to 4.4
3.When you have x-reality on and a live walpaper from sony on the lock screen,when you wake up the phone the background of the lockscreen is creepy,the quality is very poor utill i unlock it,and x reality is keeping modifing the colors,it is very strange.
I want to know what can i do in this case...

Hello,

I will only review the negative points of your stock ROM.

1) Taking screenshots requires fast reactions.

2) In the bar, when deployed, you can't edit what you want.

(WIFI and BLUETOOTH cannot be removed or replaced (a shame).

But, wonderfully, you will have a beautiful well made menu when you want to replace them,

I couldn't take a screenshot because when the menu is deployed,

and when you hit the screenshot button, the menu disappears (issue 1).

3) This, is not removable as a shortcut, I sometimes do the error of swiping like that involontary.

4) When I connect my device for charging with the magnetic cable, I always wake up my wife with the sound that cannot be removed, and, we are forced to live with it (she doesn't care, but I do).

5) No new wallpapers, no new notifications, no new ringtones

(Say NO to customisations !) (BTW I don't want to download adware apps for it)

6) I don't like these apps (RED) Why can't we uninstall them ? WHY ? ? ? ?

(BLUE) I even had to install a Google Keyboard because your keyboard is nearly unstable for french typers, thank you again that we are still able to edit the keyboard...

7) Why this Google search bar ?

Where is the close all tabs button ?

Why again putting this useless white bar that nobody uses ?

😎 Even Google Chrome has an edited welcome page with everytime SONY's website... I even had to change that

9) Camera Photo is sluttering (I really moved the image, but when we take pictures and move the phone, the image that we are seeing is sluttering).

I won't buy a smaller smartphone as a nexus or whatever with configurable options (because you will advice it to me). I like this device and not the software. I even think that SONY made this intentionally to make pissing of their customers. Nothing is configurable.

And, I don't understand why SONY has to touch a clean base of android like that and removing all the configurations and customisations possible ?

They could have just put their great camera app, walkman (or not because it's an adware now), please, not their keyboard, no thanks, and some great features of them, like on the GPE.

Why not letting the coice to customers ? Why always it's you who decide ?

And, I won't install a custom rom because the camera is crap, the sound recorded by the camera, shazam, snapchat or whatever is inaudible, but the rest is great... We need developpers to resolve those small issues.

I'm really disappointed of your bad services, you even took SIX MONTHS to release this and it ain't even acceptable to use.

hallo there.......
I did the lollipop update and there is an option missing!
At 4.4 in home screen you had the option to change the size of the screen 8x8 to 6x6 wich it makes the icons bigger
And for me it was really nice because I had more tablet experience in my phone!!
With the lollipop update this option is missing now and icon is looking so small to me and the bad thing is that I have to point very carefully to push the right icon.
Can anyone please help me with that. Please I need bigger icons

no, sony will not do anything, they are just seeking for money, nothing else

And, to everyone, please keep reporting things that makes us angry about their updates.

Well we are still waiting in South Africa, and after all the complains I read about Lollipop for Xperia, I got my hands on Cyanogen and will never look back, if there is issues, CM sorts it out in a matter of a week, with constant updates, where as with Sony have to wait 6-8 months for this to happen. #CM12

I can't belive it, how SONY could let an update being released after six months of work with a laggy camera ?

and even, a forced sound when plugging the magnetic charger, I mean, they force us to hear it everytime ? ! ?

I'm planning to buy an iPhone 6 Plus next year when I'm gonna working... To have everything that is working fine, damned bastards SONY, gold diggers, customers are nothing as at Samsung... Keep laughing at us

Massive inconvenience .. I now need to buy a headphone amplifier ... Lollipop upgrade has reduced headphone volume by about 30%. It was already "weak, puny, sickly, and insufficient" before upgrade, but is now noticeably MUCH WORSE ...

Worst of all is that this is INTENTIONAL, to save our ears .... MY CHOICE Sony ... And you are turning people off your phones SO FAST with this nanny state rubbish ... Please accept that it's gone too far, and FIX IT !

I've stopped buying acer, for some reasons (acer liquid mini previously), stopped buying samsung for a reason, (owned a galaxy note), and now it's the turn of sony, next time I'll buy an iPhone and will get what I deserve, verified apps on the store, superb audio quality, not laggy camera, smooth user interface and interactive, beautiful thing itself, may be not so customisable as android, but who would change the launcher of the iOS ? it's so beautiful compared to google. Also, everyone else having an iPhone for SMS, they will have the same emoticones as you, same letters disposition, and everything...you are making all of us pissed
