New Android update 4.2.2.

Just got my update few minutes ago. Not a big fan of the change in layout for the back/home/swap buttons (moved to the middle) and the clock/battery/etc (moved to the top)

Feels like I need to keep on taking one hand off of the device to use the buttons whereas before it was comfortable just using thumbs on either side.

Is there any way to get back to my previous system, this really pisses me off? Slightly_frowning_Face

Ok, you have 2 options 

1) take it to a Sony repair center and ask if they can downgrade your tablet

or 

2) use flashtool, this could void your warranty

I'll sound silly now, but when i bought my tablet, my android version was 4.3.1., so, i think that i'm already downgraded 😕 Is there any way to delete that line which is on the top of screen? That line makes my display smaller, 'cause there is already one line on the bottom of the screen 😕

This upgrade **bleep**!

I just got my Z tablet and was happily surprised that the buttons were on the left side, and the clock etc were on the BOTTOM right side. After a software update it's back to "normal", with the clock in the TOP right side 😞

In the local Sony Center it was like this too, but the guy couldn't explain why, as all the posters are with a pre-updated screenshot.

Sony, please give me back the opportunity to choose were I want the buttons, clock etc.
