4.4 (Kit Kat) for Xperia Devices

[LuvMusic]

Xperia Blog just posted a bunch of screen shots from a Sony 4.4 build that will be used with the successor to the Z1 scheduled to be announced at MWC. There are many interesting enhanced features, especially on the audio, pictures and video fronts. For your viewing pleasure, here is the link: Exclusive sneak peek at the Xperia KitKat UI for the Sony D6503 ‘Sirius’ | Xperia Blog

Hope the double tap, notifications management and close-all-apps will be available for Z1 model too!

I knida like the way they do it at the moment, with the settings along the top of your notification pull down.

Still, some of the other stuff looks really nice.

My son has a G2 and double tap to wake up is cool. I have to say I don't see him using it much.

I got excited about the music player's ability to connect to an external DAC. That shows Sony is still serious about music.

Hi all...

Phone highlighting a software update. Afraid to do it till I back my phone up! Last update, my baby cannot charge and it was replaced!

I like the double-tap because some notifications do not wake up the screen. Minimising button presses should prolong that button's life too! imho...

Tempted to try those shake-and-wake-up apps. Battery drain but sounds awesome!

Happy Valentine's everyone !

It's probably another 4.3 update, does your current software number end with .290?
