My Sony Xperia ZR Battery life is fucked up!

I really want to write down this whining, since I have upgraded to Google latest and greatest edition of OS Kit(shit)kat 4.4.2, the battery life of the phone is pretty much fucked up!



I waited for it for so long, not sure why, but from the user prespective it offer absolutly no new feature. What I actually got is :

  1. Really fucked up battery life.
  2. Confusing GPS activation method (previously it was turning on GPS on device, and now it is called "Location"! WTF?
  3. Google now is frustrating than ever, it gives you useless real time update you won't even need.
  4. Maps are fucked up! Maps are zeroing in on my position only when Location is set to high battery draining "High accuracy mode" Other wise it will just wonder around giving you illusion that it it zeroing in on your position.
From usage prespective it absolutly give no useful feature. May be google is using it to collect real time data as traffic is very real time and accurate on google maps (even where there are very very less user destiny).

Kit(shit)kat 4.4.2 is nothing but a experimental piece of crap which user technocrats imposed on user for their sadistic pleasure of collecting lots and lots for data (please someone write garbage filling program to fill up their drives).

Sony on the other hand acknowledge the problem, but doing absolutly nothing about it! Very good strategy, break things and just say sorry, their solution to fix this problem is to disable google play service which is equivalent of saying "Hey we are really sorry that we broke your phone, but you can patch it up with little tape and quick fix, and it will be as good as new!"

I hope they Google and Sony developer's stuck on island where mobile network is available and but their phones battery runs out.


Update: 

With Kitkat 4.4.4 upgrade battery life is imporved significantly, read my latest post on this.

Finally Sony Xperia ZR is getting the Kitkat 4.4

Sony Xperia ZR is one of the finest midsection phone from Sony it have every feature and premium phone could have, it is water/dust proof, and with 4.3 jelly bean upgrade supports 64Gb sd card, but till now there was a big question for the Sony Xperia ZR owers or prospective buyers, will this phone made the cut for next generation Android, and the answer is YES!.

Sony has finally anouced on 19th march that the next version for Sony Xperia ZR will be android 4.4, it is no longer under investigation and Kitkat will be the next version of Xperia 4.4.



Though the approximate timeline of release is around May 2014, mid of second quarter, but we may expect it earlier because what it seems like Sony Xpera Z, ZL, and ZR seems to share same architecture and software and I am concudling this by the same type of bugs are getting reported for these phone and the fact that sony has created a same forum for these 3 phones. In sony's previous announcement it is Sony was about to release 4.4 first wave for Z,ZL sometime in March (which they have clearly missed), but the good thing is as they share same architecture the soon as Z, ZL get their version of 4.4, the ZR will follow soon.

I hope that bring some cool features and make ZR a worth having phone.
