Sony rolling out Android Lollipop 5.0.2 update for Xperia Z lineup

Sony has started rolling out Android Lollipop update for the Sony Xperia Z, Xperia ZR, Xperia ZL, Xperia Z1, Xperia Z1 compact and Xperia Z tablet. The update is being rolled out over the air and Xperia owners will be notified to download the update when it is available. The new update will move the build number version 10.6.A.0.454.

The Android Lollipop update package is around 700MB and in order to install the update you will need 1.2GB free space (2GB recommended) on your device. Make sure to back up important data in case things go south while installing.

The update brings performance and stability tweaks / improvements. Here's the complete 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
Improved messaging functionality in Ultra stamina mode

So far, users from Bolivia, Bangladesh, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Canada and Hungary have confirmed that the update is now live. More region will be joining the Android Lollipop party as we speak.
