Besides software improvement and enhancement, following features are included in the 23.1.A.1.28 firmware update:

• 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
