Wow... That's fast. Remember to report back how is the performance especially the battery life

haha... i think most of us who bought this phone during launch are more or less having battery problem already. now that u mentioned, i also suspect the back of my phone abit bulging...

if you face some weird problem (some function not working, lag, battery drain,...) after the update, then yes, it is recommended

oh crap... this is bad... i'm already in process of updating now....

Just updated mine to lollipop. After the update feels that the phone lags and always hot... Battery draining like no tomorrow. Plug in the charger and the phone was charging very slow. I had to switch off my phone to let it charge.

after charging the phone to about 50%, on the phone and straight do a factory reset. After the rest, everything is good. No more lah and everything is smooth. Phone no longer drain as much battery as before. Battery life so far seems the same to me as in kk.

So far this is what I think of the update:

Things I like:
- smooth ui. I think better than kk.
- notification at lock screen. I find this useful.
- double swipe for quick settings. I think this is easier to access with single hand

Things I don't like:
- huge icons! I think it's very ugly.

This time I just manually copy some of my photos to sdcard. I did not backup any apps or game data as most are saved in the game server. After reset I just redownload all the apps and most data will be retrieve.

to reset, go to settings--- backup & reset--- factory data reset
to backup, you may use the backup and restore app found in your app drawer.

yup. i too notice the volume for ringtone and notification is softer now

initially after i did the factory reset, i too feel that my battery life have got better. no more sudden shut down due to battery empty. but after maybe 2 days using, the problem came back i think. will need longer time to monitor.

but anyway, i can really feel my battery bulging, so i may send for battery replacement these few days

btw, is there an easy root method for lollipop now other than the pre-rooted firmware?

I just send my phone to sc few days ago. But they told me will take 2 weeks!

Will report back once i got it back.

Meanwhile, using my wife's tab s 8.4 as my temp phone. ..

so, i just got back my z1 today from the curve. took about 10 days in total.

changed the battery, screen and sim tray.

total cost = RM0

yup. it's all FOC and i dunno why. they just say no payment needed, then i just grab my phone and cabut

Sony Centre in the curve. Z1 warranty only 1 year. I have been using mine for about 18 months already. Unless it comes with 2 years warranty, which I don't think so lo.

Yeah... Feels like a new phone now. My battery life now back to normal. Even running lollipop, as of now can get 3 hours sot with 40% juice left

Not promotional period. Bought it by signing up with maxis contact.

yup.. My back panel does bulge out b4 this. Now I can really feel it's flat. I did see their service report. They say they did conduct the waterproof test la.

I don't think got ota yet. Did you connect to pc and run pc companion?

is yours ori malaysia set?

Then I'm not sure why.... Mine also sign under maxis and got the updates weeks ago

been using my phone these few days and i can say i do not feel and battery drain on the latest lollipop firmware. now i can easily get 3.5 hours SOT, on some occasion 4 hours. that is exactly the same amount of SOT when i first got my new z1 back then with JB. so, for those who experience battery drain with lollipop, i suggest u do a factory reset.

same sign that i got before my battery starts to fail me
