Updated here in Paraguay,

But I still having problems with the phone in landscape (a screen flickering). But still feeling the same user experience. I suppose I should test a little bit more. No other problem noticed

I'm in Australia but bought my phone from Hong Kong and I believe it was a unit originally destined for Iran (the version number ended in 4388 IIRC).

Took ages for me to get the 9.2.A.1.210 (4.3) update so I'm surprised that I'm being offered 9.2.A.2.5 OTA so quickly...

Will wait a few weeks to see how people's phones explode before I upgrade though

The same for me, it took months to receive the update to 4.3 but inmediately this little one. Maybe it is not delay between minor updates(or bugfixes) I don't see differences yet

Ok, I updated to 9.2.A.2.5 directly from Android 4.1, because I have a German phone that never got 4.3 before now.

I updated via SEUS and wiped the phone during the update, so I did a "fresh" install.

I can tell you that:

- the noise problem in videos is NOT solved. Frankly speaking, I didn't think it was so severe when I read the complaints, but I have to admit that videos are now almost unusable. And this after 7 months of waiting... this is my last Sony.

- the slow scrolling and flickering problems with Chrome in landscape mode are NOT solved

- the dialer seems to always open the "phone" page, while I remember there was an option in 4.1 to open the "contacts" page. Has Sony removed this option? And if it is so, why the heck? It's really annoying.

- the camera app is still slow to open (but I think this is simply due to the fact that it's heavier, so it will remain slow even in future updates)

I still have to test this version thoroughly. So far, I don't have lags and the laucher is smoother, so I'm happy, but the bugs above are pretty annoying, especially the video noise and default dialer page problem.

Can we have the black backgrounds back Sony? I wonder which smart guy made up those white and bright backgrounds . Terrible at night time. Should be possible to choose what colour on the text and backgrounds . Or do I have to root my phone

My battery life is still and absolute joke. I used to rave about my Xperia Z - now it's not on for long enough to make me want to keep it. PLEASE - get my battery life back to what it was before this stupid Kit-Kat update. You have ruined my Sony experience.

Less memory usage compared to the previous version. But why is the video sound bug still there!!!??? after so many updates... real hopeless devs or the devs are silently protesting that they are not paid enough for their work

i'v had my fon for only 9 moths now, and i'm having a lot of problems even from the beginning.

at first it keeps on restarting on it's own, so d store installed new software and it was fixed.

then during d last couple months my fon was working soooo slowwwww!

it lags most of the time.

my fon is not so much loaded with apps or anything so i don't know why it's so slow.

then now the keyboard keeps closing and sometimes it doesn't show up when i need to type esp when i'm using facebook app.

i hope it works better after this update.
