Kitkat I've been waiting since last year!!! Was so happy when i got the update for my Xperia Tablet Z, but I'm abit disappointed, cause I never had any lags on Jelly Bean, with Kitkat I noticed lags quite abit, and where it is very obvious it the settings menu. And if you want to write to SD card you'll be forced to use File Cmmander fow now only

To get the quick settings,use two fingers to slide the notification bar.

I've been reading that doing this stops battery drain (and the lag I guess as the service probably uses too much CPU power):
Just turn of location based ads in settings-> Google (account) -> ads

or;

settings >developer options > Force Gpu

... And file commander is rubbish! It has no access to NAS shares, so I'm forced to use es file explorer to copy NAS files to the device, then commander to copy it to the SD card. That, in turn, means I have to leave a minimum of 2gb free on the device.

I contacted mobisystems' support who told me to use the (non-existent) remote shares functionality in storage settings. Didn't these people talk to each other before imposing this large sack of dreadful on their paying customers?

Between them, Google (through no app to SD and restriction on third party access to SD) and Sony (through the choice of an immature file manager) have ruined a great piece of kit.

File Commander is Rubbish, Fx File Manager is the best for android from my experience and I still use it, I just obviously cant write to SD, I read that Sony only noticed the complaints about the power usage that kitkat is using...I'm I the only one that notices the UI Lags? The Long Bootup speed compared to Jelly Bean?

Personally Battrey usage isn't a problem, Lags is what gets to me, I mean Specs stated Kitkat is suppose to be using less resources????
