what i have noticed , now its fixed that after reboot it will remember ur choice of what type of network u want to use (GSM ,WDCMA etc) because on .350 it was allways back to "preffered "mode ., and there is one more thing ,now we can choose "LTE preffered,WDCMA,GSM" . previosly on UK firmware there was no such option.

Updated two days ago to Generic NL .434 found here in the first post. Resolved the SoD bug for me (phone was dying 1-2 times a day).

BUT: the speed dial feature is removed from the dialer! I'm very used to having it...

Anyone can help me with getting the apk of .350 stock dialer? Or knows a way of extracting it from the .ftf file? I know 3d party dialers exist, but I need the stock...

[Xperia Z General] belyj:
Sure mate! Open the dialpad, press and hold "5", for example. It should either immediately dial a previously assigned phone number, or offer you to assign one. Much like as if you press and hold "1" and the phone calls voicemail number immediately.

This was the case in .350, but not anymore in .434 :(

And, if my memory serves me well, in Settings/Call Settings there was a "Speed dial" option, which is gone now.
[Xperia Z General] searley:

[Xperia Z General] lordgoata:
Being somewhat new to the Xperia line (ie. this is my first), I recall reading one of the risks of unlocking the bootloader, was the potential to brick when doing an official firmware update. With that in mind, has anyone done this update with an unlocked bootloader yet ?

The idea of possibly bricking my phone to install a fix for a potential bug that could brick my phone, has left me in a kind of dilemma :D
[Xperia Z General] press_enter:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2200945

^Quite a lot of people have done this. ;) Problem with that idea is that you will loose the warranty, that's why i'm waiting for the official release over here. :| And no, there is no way to change the bootloader status to "locked" again. ;)

[Xperia Z General] gm007:
Re: new firmware arrived for xperia z c6603

What did you mean that we cannot change the status to locked again?

I already did unlocked and locked it again.

My status=yes now same as before.

What you cannot bring back is the drm key and bravia engine.
[Xperia Z General] press_enter:
Nope, you can't lock the bootloader back, you can just relock it. When the phone was new bootloader was set to "locked", after that you've unlocked it, putting it into "unlocked" and after that you've put it to status "relocked". If Sony will feel a need to check if you've done something to it while servicing your phone (and lets be honest, they will, cause then you'll have to pay for the service) then they will surely know. There is no known way of putting the bootlocker back to status "locked"; you only got "relocked"... sorry.

Of course i might be wrong, but it's what i read over here, on the forums, in Unlock/lock bootloader topic.

Sz.
[Xperia Z General] gm007:
Re: new firmware arrived for xperia z c6603

But when you relock it,you can use pc companion to update that means you have successfuly bypass service check.

One of the biggest is email bug. Fortunately, it only happens with emails contained Thai script/html with Thai language. Email apps will crash suddenly. I guess most of you will never get this bugs since you don't use it.

I installed docomo rom and found out that its actually better than other roms, for example, android stock browser that support flash, better screen contrast (black bar of course), no longer crash in Thai email.

[Xperia Z General] BadBoy4490:
But as you reclaim your unlock code with your IMEI, you loose the warranty ...right ?
[Xperia Z General] smardu:
1. FlashTool

2. BL unlock will void your warranty, but restoring TA will bring BL status to lock state and DRM will remain intact (Be aware that playing with TA can hard brick your device)

Sony needs prove that you used the code, and restoring your TA eliminates all traces of BL unlock.
