Thanks a lot for replies. Actually what is bothering me is that the issue is not happening regularly. One month back I faced the issue for the first time. Then second time I faced it today.

if interseted let me PM u my contacts so that u can check with them before u sell ur z and arc in cbe.....they give reasonable rates for my devices in coimbatore........

It's the same everywhere mate, if you try to go sell you HTC one(best you will get is 30k) and you initially paid 42,990 for it. If you try to go sell S4, you get 30k again. Seeing that i paid 35.5k for Z on second week of launch, depreciation is on par.

Only phone which commands a premium resell amount is iPhone.

Another one with COD, i guess price will settle to around 39,500 after a month and initial hype is done.
[Xperia Z1 General] Dpk1:
Already mentioned in my earlier post a page back. I got 24.2K for my 5 month old XZ (perfect condition) and paid 19.8K for the new Z1. I think you can get the same value but you can try to bargain (although, I don't think they'll offer any better than that) :).

BTW, yesterday when I hooked up my Z1 to PC to check for any updates, I received a new update Build 14.1.G.1.531 :good:.

Cool! So, I guess we can expect some easy rooting methods (for Locked BL) & custom kernels for the Z1 then, great :D! I've already created the ftf file but can't share/upload it (****ty upload speed here)!

Edit - Below are the screenshots of software info & about info regarding new update. As far as the changes in the new update, I really can't say as I didn't spend much time on the earlier build.

[Xperia Z1 General] DeathlessOne:
Buddy, if I inquire, the one reply I will be getting is that - Sir, we want to see and check the device visually before we can quote a price. These useless fellows never learn. Though you tell them all indications like year and place of purchase, any usage marks, dents or scratches and the accessories you have, they will fear like anything to JUST tell us an estimated price. Because they worry that if they tell you a price and if it suits you, you may stick to it. Then when you show your device to them and if they realize that the quoted price is higher than it should be, they'll lower the rate and eventually you'll get into fighting with him telling him that you said a higher price that day and now you don't and all. That's why they shiver to quote without verifying the device. The same applied for me. The rep didn't even open his mouth for my Z even though I told him that it's dead new (even the back sticker which shows how to insert sim and all hasn't been removed until now) and refuses to quote. After seeing my device alone he picked the price. :)

Sony Xperia Z1 is available for Rs. 40416 (with a 6% off coupon in MOBILE6OFF ) at HOMESHOP18.

hey here are my samples taken in no light in my note1 and full brightness

should i get it replaced as i got a replacement recently

is it yellow hue or just tint and more over can it be removed by any mean

i m scared i may get another worst replacement after it
[Xperia Z1 General] warfareonly:
I've never seen a overheating warning. I'd take it to the service centre after doing another factory reset.

I don't see any tinting, but that may simply mean that it's too less to be spotted by means of a photo.

Guys, if you want to be sure, just enter the service menu ( *#*#7378423#*#* in dialer) and select service test and it that,display. Make sure the brightness is full with adapt to lighting conditions unchecked. Now compare it against any white screen.

If you're extra worried, pop into the nearest Chroma or Vijay Sales and compare those display models too.it should be immediately clear.

it's common even i face issue after heavy use if i try to open camera

just try to let it cool down before u open the camera

using my phone for just few mins is giving me this error ... even using my camera for 5 - 8 mins throw this error.. is it common ... then why dont SONY fixing it.. we didn't payed 42k for a toaster.. my neo v have never thrown this kind of error till today after 2 years of rugged use
[Xperia Z1 General] djcoolguyno1:
i also agree it's damn irritating i think u have such a processor and such a huge battery both can generate heat and such a slim form factor of mobile heat will be a issue

i had htc one in that heat harmed camera so much that it caused purple tint atleast sony is saving us from screawing our camera
[Xperia Z1 General] imranaryan:
dude making a video of 8 mins is a joke.. atleast sony should fix the overheating issue or should under clock the processor.. even 300Mhz/1.8Ghz will be enuf..

i see for one more day then i will take it to the retailer i bought from see if he can help me

else i would have no other choice than rooting and underclocking the CPU
[Xperia Z1 General] Dpk1:
I've been using my Z1 camera rigorously for some time now & I've not faced any overheating issues on mine (latest .257 stock rom). I had this problem on last firmware on my first Z1 (2 months back) which was replaced (3 weeks ago) & no issues ever since. I'm not sure but maybe the social live / info eye app(s) are causing the overheating while using the camera. So you may try disabling them and see if it helps. I don't use these so keep them disabled anyway.
[Xperia Z1 General] warfareonly:
Don't take it to the retailer, he'll simply tell you to go to the service centre. Just go to the service centre straightaway.

If they can't fix the issue via software, don't let them talk you into getting a replacement! If it hasn't even been a week since you bought it, you can get them to give you a DoA instead of a replacement ( which will take at least 3 days and thus eliminate any more chances of getting a DoA)

Btw m using Sony provided flip cover can it be an issue
[Xperia Z1 General] warfareonly:
No, it doesn't cause heating.
[Xperia Z1 General] DeathlessOne:
The case is very good but gel cases can deteriorate after a certain period of time like when if it's removed frequently they tend to get stretched and might not firmly seat your device in the future.

My experiences from using them on Xperia arc and iPad 3
[Xperia Z1 General] shamps:
The very reason I bought this is because I will remove it very frequently. Hard cases scratch the sides so I dont use them at all. Its pretty economical so even if it lasts me 3-4 months I am good.

The best part is that gel cases tend to be ugly, but I think this one is an exception.

I use the Sony provided flip case. I do not have any issues. My kid watches movies, plays games etc., daily but it does not get heated at all..Just barely. (When I started with .534 it got heated pretty quickly for the first couple of days though).
[Xperia Z1 General] shamps:
Nope. I have just received it,but it is soft enough and is flexible. Its the only reason I bought it. If you have a closer look at the images in the eBay listing, the seller has posted an image of the cover in a twisted position.

Guys I am tough time copying text. For example slecting text while typing or copying a link from the address bar of chrome.

Any tips?
[Xperia Z1 General] warfareonly:
It's practically worthless. The thing is very fragile. A simple tap would cause it to disconnect and charging would stop. Don't waste your money, unless you're planning on building a dock using that adapter!
[Xperia Z1 General] shamps:
Thanks for your feedback, even knockoff docks are available for around 10$ on aliexpress. How about those?

Sent from my Xperia Z1
[Xperia Z1 General] warfareonly:
I don't know, all the docks I have found right now have the Xperia Z Ultra in the pics. It's not clear if some part of the dock would be removable to accommodate the extra width of the Z1.

However, the connector shouldn't disconnect so easily while using a dock, so they may be better.

[Xperia Z1 General] DeathlessOne:
That's what monitors temperature and issues the warnings I guess. It doesn't control, it helps the user displaying warning messages when temperatures go out of control. None can control temperatures except underclocking. If your's gets very hot within minutes, it's certainly a hardware problem. I wouldn't advise to use the device then.

Do I will get vodafone 3g unlimited plan on new z1 device if have already activated on my previous z1
[Xperia Z1 General] DeathlessOne:
Yes, but you should insert a new Vodafone SIM into the new device. The old one won't work as it's registered with your old Z1
[Xperia Z1 General] warfareonly:
The previous plan will simply get deactivated. No need for a new sim.

Yes, you will. Just put in any Vodafone sim. You're old one will work just fine, no need to get a new one.
[Xperia Z1 General] DeathlessOne:
I had used about 5.6 gigs in the first month when I gave my device for replacement. When I received the new device, I received an SMS about the Z1 offer and it asked me to wait for confirmation SMS. I was waiting for about a day and no confirmation was sent. So I checked my data balance it mentioned as I have used up 5610 MB. To double check, I put on a couple of downloads and the speed was immediately reduced to 256Kbps when I downloaded about 1.5 gigs (approx) of data. This happened to my second replacement device as well in my second month of 3G offer.

So a new plan won't get activated.
[Xperia Z1 General] warfareonly:
Well, I got the confirmation sms at midnight. I had put in the sim at whenever the service centre closes for the night.
