Sony releases a new firmware update for Xperia Z1, Z1 compact and Z Ultra

Sony has released a new Android 5.0.2 Lollipop firmware update today for the Xperia Z1, Z1 Compact, and Z Ultra. If you currently own any of the abovementioned handsets, then your build number will move from 14.5.A.0.242 to 14.5.A.0.270 after you get the update. The update includes all the bug-fixes previously seen with the Lollipop updates for both the Xperia Z2 and the Xperia Z3. See full change log below:

Update (14.5.A.0.270) changelog

• Ensured the lock screen / notification bar doesn’t indicate “no service” when the device has coverage
• Added a Sony feature; bringing back the “close-all-button” in the activity menu, so you can easily close all apps at once
• Unblocked devices with server policies (such as Exchange Active Sync for e-mail), to enable the new Lollipop lock-screen notifications
• Ensured the LED light is lit across all sound modes – and no longer offset by “silent”
• Made the necessary fixes to enable the easy movement of content from internal memory to external microSD card (something we saw affecting a few devices)
• +Improved messaging functionality in Ultra stamina mode – some conversations could not be opened before in Ultra stamina mode

The update is now available over the air or via Sony PC companion for the aforementioned handsets.
