New Sony software upgrade, including Android 4.4; KitKat, rolls for Xperia T2 Ultra

The next Sony User Experience upgrade for Xperia T2 Ultra & Xperia T2 Ultra Dual starts right about now*…

 

We’ve been working to build new Sony experiences on Google’s KitKat release to create some neat / sweet features (if we say so ourselves) – in addition to a few performance tweaks here & there, some of the functionality you can look forward to includes:

  • Google’s Android 4.4; KitKat as standard – bringing performance & UI optimisation…
  • We’ve added our tweaked Status Bar and Quick Settings… now more intuitive and customisable (and pretty easy on the eye)… cleaned up to ensure you only get the notifications you really need
  • If you’ve got a Sony PlayStation 4, you might recognize our new user interface – we’ve added the same sleek launch animation and livewallpaper across the lock and home screens
  • We’re also uplifting Sony’s entire native app portfolio to the latest versions – bringing tweaked / improved / current experiences for (to name but a few): Messaging, MyXperia, Smart Connect, Small apps, TrackID, TrackID TV, Sony Select, Smart Social Camera and…
  • Sony’s Media apps: WALKMAN, Album and Movies, with Sony Entertainment Network cloud service integration* – a more converged and full Sony entertainment experience – Sony Entertainment Network & PlayMemories integration with a more intuitive UI, better download speeds, and more!
  • And proving pretty popular, now totaling over 2 million downloads (!) – our unique custom interface experience: “Xperia Themes”, with downloadable UI packs from Sony Select – skin up to 280 assets across your Xperia smartphone with a variety of styles…
  • Compatibility with our SmartWear Experience; SmartBand SWR10 and Lifelog app – enabling you to record social, physical and entertainment activities and have them all visualised in a beautiful interface… reminisce at that past, make the best of the present and plan for the future

Xperia Z1 has KK for some time now and no double tap to wake,no smart back light,no smart call handling.Don't be like that,those features are in Z2 only.You got to move some apps to SD which is good.

Hey chauhanjayc, you have posted many duplicated content in one thread, could you stop it? Your questions have already been answered by other friends.

can you move the entire app data to the SD card (like the 2.8 gb from gta san andras) or just a small part of it ?

My phone used to be able to score 20k (highest is 20226) in Antutu. After the Kitkat update I can't even get past 19.6k anymore.
