No update for xperia z2 D6503 yet in india
Sony launched D6503 in India, I don’t think so. I guess you are using imported handset…Sony launched D6502 in India as far as I know.
Ok. Then when will update D6503 in india.
from customization info first find out from which region your device came, then only one can predict.
Thanks for quick response. I think this is first update regarding android L update for xperia z2 in india, I have seen.

I don’t have a computer….. So how can I update lollipop in my xperia z 2 in India
You can’t for the time being untill OTA rolls in India
Finally Updated my xperia z2 (D6502) to lollipop (5.0.2)[India]
The new lollipop is amazing.
Do you recommend a factory reset after doing the lollipop update for my Z2?
factory rest is always good if you are facing some troubles. I haven’t done on my Z2 yet, will wait for a few days to identify bugs then only I will do.
i got the update in my update centre but sadly there is no update option.so i cant download it
Try with PC Companion, I hope it will work.
How is the status bar? I’ve flashed Baltic firmware and status bar gets theme-color in apps like Whatsapp or Google Chrome, that was ugly and annoying

dear Anurag are you updated your phone to lollipop yet ?
yes I did on 8April.
are you faceing any problem with this update ? i hear about battery charging problem and x reality not working problem.
Battery is not good, mult-tasking and HSPA/4F takes away battery. It heats. X-Reality, I am missing it, it is not working in Album app. Animations are slow.
Hello
I’m using xperia z2 D6502 (india)
My problem is I got an update notification for lollipop and started to update via pc but I could not do so because of power failure (during installing the update on pc)
Later after few hours in could not see the update notification on mobile and in pc it was displaying that you’re phone is already updated ( on sony pc companion)
Anybody please help me
Sony has removed Z2 Lollipop update in India from their servers for the time being that’s why you are not seeing any notification for the time being.
It should be released soon.
No ETA yet.
Can I downgrade to kitkat without wiping data?
