Good news. I'm gonna get a Z1 this 16th, after having lost my Z1 in college. My dad agreed to buy another one. :)

BTW, does anyone use multi boot on your phone? I used it when I had it. I'm glad I'll be able to use that again!
[Xperia Z1 General] TrueRedRedvil:
Hi there! I didn't want to start new topic, so I will ask here.

After I've received new phone (the last was changed due to camera problem) I have one very annoying problem.

Every time when I start searching contact from the dial pad it shows me 3 or 4 times the contacts. From the filter menu I have set that I want to see only the local contacts and really in the contacts list it shows me every contacts only once. But the dial pad search shows 3 times every contact. I don't want to see every contact so much times. Do anyone know how to fix this? The new phone is stock 4.4.4, C6903.
[Xperia Z1 General] crohit911:
Not quite sure, this might be related to syncing of new contacts with Google servers which allows copies to be merged automatically. To solve it, head to the contact, click on it, scroll down you'll see multiple versions of it, just erase those.

Relock bootloader

Has anyone tried relock bootloder of Xperia Z1? I need recovery (img file) to restore drm backup. Please help
[Xperia Z1 General] kathanpatel1001:
Flash stock ftf for your Z1..be on stock firmware and kernal then restore TA partition... Once successfully restored TA, you have locked bootloader...

I saw the video but i am not sure about it anyway you can try..

In his video he was following this link http://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/xperia-z1-z2-z3-series-devices-drm-t2930672

To simplify it-

1) Download .757

2) Flash .757

3) Restore TA

4) Relock bootloader with flashtool and not turning on the phone

5) Flash .757 again

6) turn on phone then turn off after sometime of booting

7) unlock bootloader from flash tool

8) flash any kitkat rom

9) flash any kernel with recovery or if preferred stock/stock based rom use nuts dual recovery

10) boot into recovery (twrp/cwm) flash DRM.zip created by tool on that thread... Done :highfive:

hope it helps... ;) :good:

[Xperia Z1 General] MohammedFurqaan:
If you are flashing it, then you need to install flashtool drivers for Z1 from C:/Flashtool folder
[Xperia Z1 General] fayez69:
Download the ftf and flash it with flashtool or if you have completed the download in pc companion then make your own ftf using flashtool (search for the tutorial if you don't know how to) that will save your time and data. Flash the ftf you will be getting, that would solve your problem for sure.

My z2 had the same problem a few months back, the only difference was that it could connect to only 3g networks. No 2g networks were shown even in the manual search. Flashing didn't help, had to send it to service centre for repair. They didn't charge as it was in warranty.

Does your phone shows your 3g network when you do a manual search?

The battery life seemed bad initially, but a factory reset got back to normal. I actually get an hour more of screen on time now. Lags, yes initially. Again, a factory reset and fresh install of all apps fixed it for the most part there's a lag in the camera viewfinder that wasn't affecting the previous firmware version. No instability as yet. Infact, I like the Z1 better than my previous Nexus 4 which had barebones functionality and ****ty Boogle bloatware.

[Xperia Z1 General] nifty_mats:
Hmmm. Appears to be serious problem. 1. Was ur handset working well wid kitkat?

2. How much time since u performed the factory reset? Hv u installed all the apps again over dat? If not let it remain in a fresh, reset state for a couple of days to let the ROM settle down. U'll hv to compromise a bit for a few days. Once the rom settles down, restore all ur previous data again.

Imp.: Also, I'd suggest u to clean all the unwanted kitkat-related data using Clean Master app. For eg. recently I deleted movies of 12gb from my sd card. But, still my sd card showed 54/59.2gb used!! When I ran CM, it showed the fact that in fact 12gb of data was not deleted at all!! It was lying inside the sd card as some trash error..! Then I deleted using CM & now finally my sd card's showing 35/59.2gb..!

HTC M8 was a gud fone except the camera. But, the new HTC M9 is giving lot of probs from what I've heard. It has heating prob. Also, even though cam is 13mp, the shots are surprisingly ordinary due to lack of OIS. Though it luks awesome.[emoji4] [emoji106] [emoji106] If HTC can overcome its camera probs & give a gud cam on its fones, it'll be a really gud seller in the market.

Well the no of apps is 220 something.. Just leftout all the google and htc apps...

Yeahh.. But htc power saving saves more juice and clocks the processor way lower than stamina mode as far as i have from experience..

The processor works around 1 ghz and if my memory serves right antutu showed that only two cores work in power saving mode...

I know greenify.. Been using android 4.3 on my lg optimus one before my z1.... You know how hard it can be.. ??

Also you shouldn't go for htc.. You need to be s-off to do all your flashing and well it's paid to be s-off as of now...
