Hello
I just updated to the latest avilable firmware (.270) with hope that all bugs from previous version (.242) will be fixed. I was wrong.
1. Issue with bad sound is still present. So i opened Music app, started song, played with equalizer and other options in sound settings. Everything was almost perfect, with nice bass and tops. But after i changed to another track my ears almost exploded. Sound became too loud and completely flat without bass. I know this has been posted so many times but i never found permanetly working solution. I tried everything. Clearing cache, unistall updates, reinstall Music app, restarting in Safe mode. Nothing is permanent solution, it's only for some time. I know that disabling all sound settings will fix this, but this make sound not enjoyable.
2. App2SD function is still broken. Basically on Android from 2.3 to 4.3 i was able to move to SD whole app with all data (data and obb). Now on 5.0.2 this function move only small part of data. For example i have game that has 1,5 GB of data. 120 MB in data folder and the rest in obb folder so i tried to move it to SD with App2SD function in settings. It only moved +/- 40 MB of data from data folder and nothing from obb folder so basically i have still in internal storage 1,46 GB of data. Out of curiosity i flashed old SONY 4.2.2 version and tried to do the same thing with the same app. Magically it moved almost whole app with all of the data. In internal storage left only 47 MB of data and the rest on SD. Why is this not possible on 5.0.2? Is it some kind of restriction from Google again? And another thing is that even apps like GL2SD are not working because system is clearly pointing into the internal storage instead of external and this can't be fixed with KitKat permission workaround.
But except this, .270 firmware is great.
If you have any tips how to fix those issues, feel free to help me. I'll appreciate it. Thank you.
Has anyone updated to this version, which I think is the 2nd Lollipop update?
Heard that the 1st Lollipop has quite a few issues and did this fix them??
Still on 4.3 Kitkat working fine great battery life so don't want to get burnt by a dodgy upgrade...
This might be interesting to read
oh I read this a few days ago already.
the change log didn't explicitly say anything about those Lollipop update issues mentioned here in the forum.
My biggest concern would be battery life and connectivities.
you could
1. wait for other user's feedback
or
2. create a backup of your current firmware > download the firmware > flash it with flashtool and test it yourself.
give me a couple hours, imma update for you, but my guess is that it won't change anything important.
1. About this, have you checked the following link?
/t5/Music/New-lollipop-build-problem/m-p/990493
2.This is how the option is supposed to work.
1. Sure i did and i can try it again but it was solution only for few songs, after that, same problem again. And i really don¨t want to restart my phone every 10 minutes. Do you know what is the problem here? Why is it occuring? Some missing libs or something broken in them?
2. So you are trying to tell me that it is working differently on 5.0.2 than it worked on 2.3 - 4.3? If so, why?
You could read this topic for a sony representative statement:

Maybe @Rickard can assist for 1.
