To all who've been complaining about heating issues and battery drain.

Yesterday I updated via ota 14.xx mb

Since then this is all that I've done-

30 min. Music+Web browsing; 2hrs movie playback 100%volume and x-reality on; then I turned wifi off and went to bed ; full system scan with avg and avast; wifi always on during usage; total standby- 20hrs, device on- 3hrs; Battery- 100%- 66%

I have lot of apps 100+ not running always, still I'd post sc to better understand. I never kill apps maybe that's what you're doing wrong XD

If not, try flashing(clean install) .681(kitkat first build) then ota update 14.xx mb like I did.
[Xperia Z1 General] nifty_mats:
How did u change the bottom navigation bar? Is it a theme, custom app or wht?
[Xperia Z1 General] crohit911:
Theme "clean foggy"
[Xperia Z1 General] crohit911:
Technically underpowered.

Should charge the phone at slower rate than the original sony charger, it's strange how the situation is just the opposite. There might be a possibility of one of these companies not rating it properly. I guess Samsung has underrated its charger. Because I have a 700mA; 5v Charger from Micromax which is unable to bear z1.
[Xperia Z1 General] nifty_mats:
Samsung is gud not dat bad. Had an SGS1 earlier. Was lagging badly after the memory became full. The fone was lockd away in a cellar after the arrival of Z1.

Today, my dad asked for the fone as his 4 yr old Nokia E73 finally gave way yesterday. So, I tuk out my old SGS1 & formatted it completely & whew its again as fast & light as an iPhone.!! Not bad at all. Installed a couple of apps & lo its bak to its best again. Apps are running butter smooth. Will hand ovr the fone to dad tmrw. Currently tapatalking from the sammy !!:)
[Xperia Z1 General] crohit911:
What a co-incidence. I too used i9000, until it broke from the middle in an accident. No phone could have taken that impact. Crushed between road and bike! :(

I still use sammy earphones 'cause I lost mh750. My brother uses it's charger for his sgy.

P. S. - I also liked Samsung until s2. Touchwiz from ics+ is very ugly. Design from s3 onwards is crap. I'd buy a s2 For 10k. I miss Samsung 2.3 (tw3-4) big time. :(
[Xperia Z1 General] Mandeep148:
its been using 20 days of Xperia Z1, i think samsung is best mobile company,

hear my story@ http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperi...Better-Tweeked-UI-launcher/m-p/650417#U650417
[Xperia Z1 General] nifty_mats:
Edit it. I'm not feeling ny prob wid Sony man. Its running completely smooth & lag free for me. In .757.

Idk how can u face so many probs.:what:

I was just getting nostalgic about the SGS1- the fone dat started it all. 1st amoled screen. Its still vry vry gud. But, seriously dere's no comparison bt SGS & Z1 of course.!
[Xperia Z1 General] kannanX10:
cant take it anymore from u............i know what u did with z forum,created all sort issues and then with s4........then u bought Z1 again you were bashed in s5 forum(i read ur ridiculous posts).......now again u started with z1............oh man go get a life............no mobile device can satisfy u......i have used almost all flagship devices from samsung,sony,apple and even htc devices until z1,according to me z1 is best device i have ever owned......

for god-sake stop ur nonsense and dont confuse others............
[Xperia Z1 General] crohit911:
Chill kiddos!

This is a forum not battle field. Opinions are personal no one has the right to question it. And mandeep you might have a faulty unit try getting a replacement. I too have a z1 my phone is doing great since kitkat update. And I even posted about recent update changing many stuff. Hardware faults should be taken seriously and i don't see any major hw issue in c6902. Software glitches get better over time. Reports show that every mobile company have had problems some time or the other.

Sammy phones s3 bricking due to 4.3 update then exynos emmc bug.. are some of Samsung's mistakes.

No company is perfect! If you think they're doing something wrong and you can do better, start your own.

BTW I was fascinated by micro nations. I wanna start one of my own or join one with tech freaks playing vital role in it. :P
[Xperia Z1 General] Mandeep148:
Yea I agree you, but you seen how he is trying to insult me, I can't share my problem?
[Xperia Z1 General] crohit911:
Edit: Just read the post. I used note 3, s4, s3, s2, s, innov 8

And I've also used xperia z1, sp, z, u, arc s, p1i

Here's what I concluded: Samsung during symbian was at par with Sony(then Sony Ericsson) p1i and i85xx. Then came i9000 which blew away the competition. Still love the day when I first opened the black galaxy box. About fluidity, Samsung and sony both were equally smooth then. S2 arc s. I do agree sony was not up to the mark then. With s3 Samsung became crap. At that time it was able to handle everything well but slowly with more customization tw became real pos not kidding even today tw is the ugliest slowest launcher and framework. And with exynos and snapdragon discrimination in india it is sure to lose all it's market soon. See flipkart reviews of sg5.

P. S. Totally agree, but whining won't solve problems, Discussion and work will. BBM launch also suffered because of impatience and leaks.. could be company's trap as well but if that didn't happen they would not have had that excuse at least! :)

Anyone having walkman bug?

I can't use the right side scroll bar. For using it I have to open now playing list then options-> settings-> back then it appears just fine. Anyone facing the same?
[Xperia Z1 General] crohit911:
Once you click settings from 3dot menu and go back it appears correctly

Before opening settings-

2nd image after opening settings and coming back.
[Xperia Z1 General] nifty_mats:
[MENTION=5395222]crohit911[/MENTION]. Jus try to scroll down. It will hopefully. The scrollbar comes after u touch the screen. Its a part Sony's animation I guess.

Also, hows the HTC One (m7 & m8) fones? Hv u used them? I had an HTC Touch Diamond 2 bak in 2009 when I was doing my engg. & It left a deep-deep impression on me. It was much better than the SGS1. Z1 is similar to the HTC though. Both of them are Quietly Brilliant. Hv u used HTC One series??
[Xperia Z1 General] Mandeep148:
Guys so touch screen issue normal? It happens very less, and fix after restart always, is that normal?
[Xperia Z1 General] 301stSpartan:
My old Z1 had this issue really, then it grew. Until the point that the phone was unusable and I had to get a replacement. Haven't had a single issue on my new one. My $.02 is that it is a hardware fault and has the potential to get worse, so get a replacement if you can.
[Xperia Z1 General] Mandeep148:
oh ok thanx bro, i bought at 10 april, so is Replacement is Possible now?

how many days after you did replaced?
[Xperia Z1 General] crohit911:
Nope! No idea on those two HTCs. Only have an old-old nexus one. I suppose they're good. M7's hardware on paper is outdated, though won't make much difference while M8 has everything pretty amazing. Those looking forward to buy a flagship this year should consider it.

I know what you're saying, my point is- when I scroll down the bar doesn't appear as it should unless I open settings and go back. See the screen-shots, both are taken while scrolling down.

Do OTA update. My fone's 100% stable. No issues at all. [emoji16]

But, I've done all my updates through ota till now even if it takes some time to arrive.

Now, dere myt not be ny more updates. As nxt update will be 4.5 Lollipop in July if Sony at all decides to upgrade the Z1.
[Xperia Z1 General] ron76426:
.761 is the new update certified at PTCRB

And the next update aint 4.5..its gonna be 4.4.3..Z Ultra Gpe is first among Sony devices to get it
[Xperia Z1 General] livelyyoungman:
Check this thread here

Believe that is going to a performance fix and not any major enhancements. Even if LL does not trickle down to Z1, custom ROMs will be available so that we can enjoy the new features.
[Xperia Z1 General] Mandeep148:
i was selling my Z1 20 days old and suddenly price Drop -__-
[Xperia Z1 General] nifty_mats:
Why are u selling the Z1? Do ota update in the nxt .761. Wait until it comes. Again reset ur fone. Evrything will be fine. My handset's awesome. Not a single prob faced by me. Z1 is arguably one of the best handsets in the market ryt now.
[Xperia Z1 General] Mandeep148:
its good but still sony need attentions , i wont say any thing bad for sony or any other company, Sony is mobile is good quality..

there is nothing like best, all depends upon taste, i am samsung fan so thats why i got bored of sony :) i always buy sony for week use..

i am not saying its bad, i m just saying depends upon taste, hence my taste is samsung xd :)
[Xperia Z1 General] nifty_mats:
So what now. U'll buy a Samsung handset??

Also, learned dat Sony uses components sourced from diff suppliers. So, u & I myt be having diff components. So, the same firmware installed on both of our devices can hv drastically diff results. On one, it'll be 100% normal while on the other handset, it'll be catastrophic. & its vry difficult to sort dese types of probs out.!
[Xperia Z1 General] crohit911:
They should have specific fw for specific build. We'll learn in the long run which one's best for ours but this is something company should do

4G LTE is a snapdragon 800 feature so why can't we have it via cm or something?
[Xperia Z1 General] 301stSpartan:
That is incorrect. There are various versions of the 800 chipset, each comes with different modem hardware. Our phones cannot and will never support 4G LTE, they don't have the required hardware.
[Xperia Z1 General] crohit911:
Oh thanks, but I couldn't find anything about SD 800 without a 4g modem. Don't know what these companies are up to. Why don't they eradicate non 3g flagships. 4g is non existent right now in india but having it in smartphone will make it future proof, few of the reasons why we buy a flagship. :(

---------- Post added at 02:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:53 PM ----------

Wondering why I thanked you? I checked for ota after seeing your post. :P
[Xperia Z1 General] 301stSpartan:
Agreed... as an American who will likely move back to the States in about a year it's even more frustrating. Basically this phone will be useless back there where 4G is everywhere. I wonder how much they really saved in production costs to give us the stripped down version? A dollar or two per unit maybe?
[Xperia Z1 General] crohit911:
Okay, you must be knowing then, if I get an att skyrocket will I be able to use wifi tethering here? If yes, how?
[Xperia Z1 General] 301stSpartan:
I haven't lived in the US for over three years so not 100% sure. But I believe you just need root and either a tethering app or a ROM that supports it. I use TMobile pre paid when I go back to visit and though I don't think the plan includes tethering, I've always been able to tether using an AOSP CM-based ROM.
[Xperia Z1 General] azharshaikh7866:
Z1 or z2???

Is thr much difference??

Whats free Goodie's with indian z1??
[Xperia Z1 General] crohit911:
Hardware -

Z1- snapdragon 800 chipset with 2gb ram and 5.0 inch tft display, single speaker at the bottom.

Z2- snapdragon 801 chipset (basically overclocked krait with speed up to 2.5ghz and 3gb ram support ), 3gb ram

And 5.2 inch ips lcd display (led backlit) and dual speakers at the front for better sound output and multimedia experience.

Software -(upgrades only)

Camera app has 4k recording and timeshift video in z2.

And not to mention will get updates faster than z1.

Design-

Z2 has smaller bezels and the aluminum frame has inverted color.

Btw, it's not yet available in india I guess.

Don't forget to hit the thanks button when someone helps you. That little labor you do, shall make their day and more eager to help you next time.

Help and be helped.

Hit thanks (y) ;)
[Xperia Z1 General] nifty_mats:
No, there's not much diff. Processor's the same. Just an overclockd S800. Rest not much difference. Maybe the Z3 which is scheduled to be released in Sept 2014 will be a worthy upgrade.!

Price- Z1 about 35-36k while,

Z2 is about 50-55k. So, u decide wich to buy. If u've got the moolah, then definitely Z2's better. Otherwise, @ 36k u've got nothing to lose at all. Z1 performance is mindblowingly orgasmic. :Konky:
[Xperia Z1 General] crohit911:
Lg g2 has 4G even on Indian variant, we might also have it and not know because it's somehow hidden with the help of software. Lg doesn't seem to know about this issue and hence is launching a new g2 with 4g!

Check out g2 indian users thread!
[Xperia Z1 General] nifty_mats:
NO. Luks like our fone will not support LTE. Here's a spec sheet of our

1). Z1:

3G NetworkHSDPA 850 / 900 / 1700

/ 1900 / 2100 - all

versions

4G NetworkLTE 800 / 850 / 900 /

1700 / 1800 / 1900 /

2100 / 2600 - C6903

LTE 700 / 850 / 900/ 1700 / 1900 /

2100 / 2600 - C6906

LTE 800 / 850 / 900/ 1700 / 1800 /

1900 / 2100 / 2600 - C6943

2). LG G2 (D802)

2G NetworkGSM 850 / 900 / 1800 /

1900 CDMA 800 / 1900 -

CDMA version

3G NetworkHSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900

/ 2100 CDMA2000

1xEV-DO - CDMA version

4G NetworkLTE 900 / 1800 / 2100 /

2600 / 850

LTE - CDMA version

----------------------------------------------------------

So, basically Sony has dis model-specific functionality, while LG G2 (D802), the same model is capable of both HSPA+ & LTE. Bad Luck..

any AOSP rom for locked bootloader ?
[Xperia Z1 General] 301stSpartan:
No, not at all. With a locked bootloader you must use a stock kernel. So you can run a custom ROM as long as it is a stock based ROM running a stock kernel. AOSP ROMs require an AOSP kernel and will not work with the stock kernel so therefore won't work on a locked bootloader.

1). Wich is the best GUD LUKING, STABLE with ENHANCED PERFORMANCE ROM for Z1?

2). Is it worth it- taking all the pains to root the fone, etc etc? Mainly I want better performance, gud luks & battery life..

I'm a complete noob in dis area. Do u hv ny gud links, files having ny instructions on how to go abt it?
[Xperia Z1 General] 301stSpartan:
1) I've been on Carbon ROM for a few weeks and love it. Use build 3 (I can send a mirror if you need). I like it because it has a ton of features and UI customizations and is pretty damn stable. I use it with an older Pimped Kernel build.

2) yes, if you know what to do with it. I will never ever own an Android phone that is not rooted. Also, I basically never use stock firmware because I find AOSP ROMs to be much better. Root though doesn't magically make your phone better, but it allows you to some very useful things to improve numerous aspects of your device.

There are a lot of guides, but I'm on my phone so not going to link them now. Search the general section of this forum as well as the dev section and you'll find info.
[Xperia Z1 General] nifty_mats:
From wht I've read on the net, I've seen that ppl use custom ROMs to remove bloatware like Touchwiz, Sense, etc. But, Sony already has a lot less bloatware compared to the competition.

Also, many of the custom ROMs features like themes, etc are already available in Sony.

Moreover, there's the question of stability as AOSP ROMs are based on ROMs that aren't meant for the particular device. I've heard too many ppl report issues like cam failure, radio, tv-out not working, bluetooth, wifi issues, etc etc.

Moreover, dere's the added danger of bricking ur fones. I've seen many ppl lose high-end devices like S3, S4, Incredible, etc

& lastly, developer support myt not be dere in the long run. Coz the developer can change jobs or fones anytime & he'll make ROMs for dat fone only. Considering dese things, I've decided not to flash my fone as my Z1's been brilliant till now :period:
[Xperia Z1 General] 301stSpartan:
Sony's firmware is pretty good, but isn't anywhere near as customizable as what you get with some AOSP ROMs. Some may have issues, but many don't, which is why you read the ROM thread before doing anything. Dev support is great for our phone and will continue to be for a long time as it's still a very high end device. And your chances of bricking your phone by following instructions are basically zero. There were some who got bricks a few months ago, but it is known what they did wrong and if you follow instructions, there's very little risk.

Do as you wish, many here enjoy the stock ROM. But also, when you are ready, I encourage you to try some custom ROMs, as once you flash, many of us here get addicted to it and it becomes more than just improving your phone, it becomes a hobby. Take your time. However, I would strongly suggest rooting if you have any desire to tweak your phone all. It's safe and doesn't negatively impact your phone in any way while giving you lots of flexibility to perfect your device's look, feel, and performance.

Lesson learnt. Never update your xperia phone if its running well.
[Xperia Z1 General] nifty_mats:
I don't hv ny issues wid the walkman update. Fone is running fine.

Ya, I also feel 4.2.2 was the best firmware in terms of evrything- battery life, performance was the best then. But, I feel 4.4.2 (.757) is also quite gud. It has gud battery life. .681 battery life was bad.
[Xperia Z1 General] crohit911:
Correction in the lesson : remember the build of Xperia phone running well and try all updates, whenever you encounter a better build, log it.. .. after a year or so you'll have the best firmware for your needs.

---------- Post added at 08:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:53 PM ----------

I believe battery in..681 was better than both 4.3 builds. With.757 it became better. 757 is bug free while 681 was buggy. Stability and performance improvement still absent. Another update is on its way, I guess it'll fix those.

[MENTION=4596319]301stSpartan[/MENTION] I've read on the net dat after rooting ur fone, u don't get update notifications for Sony's newest firmwares. Is it true? Wht are the disadvantages of rooting apart from voiding ur warranty?
[Xperia Z1 General] crohit911:
I guess no. You still get the update notifications even if you don't, you can always flash the latest update via flash tool or cwm. After rooting most of the people prefer custom rom for which you have to unlock your bootloader(unless you're going to use a rom based on stock Sony kernel) . That is what is keeping me from trying custom roms. No doubt you can lock it later when you want but still..

Btw, bionz image processing chip stops working after you unlock the bootloader but one of the users confirmed that the quality of images didn't deteriorate, i. e. Even if it did it wasn't quite noticeable.

P. S. - if you plan to unlock your bootloader be sure to backup ta partition before doing so.
[Xperia Z1 General] 301stSpartan:
You should still get update notifications, but if you update via Sony, you lose root. Instead, you can update easily using a pre-rooted firmware that someone on xda will surely create and then you update and keep root. Also, rooting should not void your warranty. Only unlocking the bootloader does. Either way, you can remove root or re lock the bootloader and Sony will never know.

There really aren't downsides to rooting, other than it takes a bit of work to achieve it (though it really isn't hard)
