[Off-topic] bombaybadboy:
Well there are just a few difference m8, so it's not a major update. I do find it a little more snappy on tw launcher. Predictive text is a little annoying but its just starting to learn.

Could be an Idea to wait a little and let others dive in first to see any problems. Some reports of not being able to flash back but haven't tried myself. Knox warranty isn't a big deal for me.

But after saying all that I flashed and wiped data rooted froze all knox apps and haven't had any problems so far. Have got a few Russian widgets I plan to hunt down and remove tho :)

In the end it's up to you tho m8, I did it because I want to try deodexing a Rom and might as well try with 4.3 :)

Oh and I have warranty 0×1 now

With 4.3 rolling out I think 4.2.2 will become history anyway m8 so thought I might as well flash it. I do like the new browser tho, if you don't install 4.3 it might be worth looking to see if that can be used on 4.2 :)

Engloa, buddy go ahead and upgrade to 4.3. Changes are mostly under the hood but notification system has been changed.. You can then use apps like dynamic notifications without trouble.

Hey parag did you go to sony? What did they say?
[Off-topic] parag1dubey:
By the time I reached the Sony center, it was closed:(:(

I am considering all options so i asked around in a few stores and they are willing to give only 29k for my z1. I paid 31k in cash and exchanged my beloved s2..so i need some advice from all of you. Do you think it is wise to sell my Sony,l for 29k, pay another 10k or so and get an s4 or LG g2?or should I stick to this phone and ignore it's flaws? Or should I fight Sony (which is a time consuming process and the replacement I get may still have the same issue).. These are the three alternatives before me.. Help out guys..
[Off-topic] bombaybadboy:
Main issue is knox and new bootloader m8 or no one would think twice about upgrading

Now tell me you have sorted things with your x1 . This has to get done m8 or you won't be happy and selling it would be a loss of money

Edit just saw your reply, you shouldn't do anything until you check if it can be fixed m8 and you need to go to Sony service center (and not be to late)

Yeah bbb... But i have seen the Indian z1 owners thread and most people say that Sony is being an ass about the issue. People have gotten replacements after threats and haggling but even those have the same problem. Not to mention that it takes a fortnight to get a replacement. There is a guy who gave his phone for replacement on the 6th October and he still hasn't received it...
[Off-topic] bombaybadboy:
I added a bit m8, I think you suffer from the same thing I do at times ' to nice for your own good' and you don't like to make a fuss . Time like that you have to switch to Terminator mode and walk into that service center with no warm and fuzzy feelings and just say 'Fix now' and don't take any carp from anyone. Loss of money makes me act that way and you will lose money if you don't . S2 is still worth upto £100 around here and then you still get less money if you sell

You are right bbb..trouble is, I don't like confrontation. And i understand that i ll lose money if I sell, but in the long run I ll be happier with a perfect device.

Is there any happy endings for these members you have read about? Is there a Z1 out there without a yellow tint? If there is and Sony can fix it then you need to insist they do so.

Unfortunately that not how things work out here in India. Off late India has become the dumping ground for all inferior products and downgraded products. Eg: S2g, HTC One S and on an on. We don't have a Better business Bureau like in the US and no one ever bothered about the customers. All of this happens when India is the largest market after China.

Service centers are an absolute mess, hundreds of people waiting before you, people waiting for a chance to get their problems sorted... If you shout you get shouted back at... There is no question of getting a full refund. If you are persistent and make a noice they take your phone keep it for a month sometimes longer and then give it back..

Even if they change, it would be a refurbished piece and will never an original one.

Parag you know what i will say and you know what RED would say too.

Stop putting it off!

For all you know they could be very nice and offer to swap/refund straight away.

One things for sure, if you don't go you won't know!

At the very least you will know where you stand and can then make an informed decision from there.

You don't need an excuse but you could tell them you are a photography student/interested in photography and wanted a phone with a great camera but its totally useless because you can't get the correct colour balance and every shot just looks "off" and very poor.

Not to mention movies/video camera is unwatchable because of the distraction.

I wish i could do it for you.

How come you didn't come across this issue in your 75 years you spent researching & deciding on a phone?

Btw, DO NOT SELL IT!!!

Don't let Sony Centre take your phone without a receipt and write down serial numbers/iemi mumber.

PS, email Sony directly too.

There are some excellent complaint letter templates if you search online.

(maybe your best way)

Selling it is letting them sell faulty goods and get away with it.

You will lose too much money.

At the very least see what they say at Sony Centre, see what reply you get from Sony email and lastly wait and see if firmware does anything.

Here is a great site (Trading Standards) with custom complaint letter templates professionally written.

It will take 10 mins to insert Sony, Z1,yellow screen etc and send it off.

Man I went through the same thing last month... Bought a new S3 and within a week dust started accumulating on the camera lense. Took it to the service centre and they cleaned it and give it back... Within a week it started again... Took it back and asked for a replacement... The lady at the counter smiled at me as said that they will not be replacing anything.. And said that it's a problem with the panel and is not covered under warranty. Spoke to the supervisor and he said that he cannot do anything and said that he would have it cleaned...

I didn't wanna go to the service center every week and wait in line for four hours and spoil my entire Saturday.

Sold it off at 20k and bought another one.

Surprisingly I have never ever heard these things happening with Apple in India. Never. A lot of my friends have an iPhone and have never faced a quality issue. Says a lot about the company.

Please don't take me wrong... I would still suggest you to go to Sony and try for a replacement. Selling it off and buying a new one should be the last resort..
[Off-topic] bobdoblo:
Ok mate.

I know its a ball ache but just send the emails at least.

I got £350 vouchers from Sony when they said i wasn't getting anything after my PS3 broke and i was out of warranty just from sending emails and complaining (i got in touch with a UK TV programme called Watchdog too:D)

You have nothing to lose & everything to gain.

Play on it mate, say you have always bought Sony because of the quality and love their products.

All your friends were getting Samsung S4s but you saved for 2 years to get the best Sony.
