I also bought z1 today :D its damn awesome,

Idk why people buy Samsung, imo atleast phone should have holding feeling, in which Sony is best,

I love my z1.. :thumbup:
[Xperia Z1 General] nifty_mats:
Its an awesome fone mate. Welcome to the club. Now, buy a case as well to protect it & ur gud to go. How much did u buy it for??
[Xperia Z1 General] djcoolguyno1:
noob question

is indian version of z1 c6902 or c6903

and what is the difference between the two
[Xperia Z1 General] Mandeep148:
thanx bro, i got it for 37k from original sony center.

really enjoying phone,

i was wondering for 4.4 update, should i do now? or wait for bug fix?

btw which case u prefer, i personally always wanted thin skin type cover :D its always easy to remove,

one more question, should i laminate my phone from sides, that can scratch easily or i must lamination?

thanks again.
[Xperia Z1 General] nifty_mats:
Reg. covers, its ur personal choice. I presently hv this thin cover from IMAK. Its worth it. Pretty solid.

http://m.ebay.in/itm?itemId=161157399263

Also, reg. KK update. Its stable. Do it now itself as ur fone is stock. Only thing is after update u'll hv to update all ur apps to the latest KK version & clean all the trash related to 4.3 JB using a gud trash cleaner which is what I did & ur gud to go. Also, I did the update from the fone itself thru an update link which I received just 3-4 days bak. Guys who faced probs, did their updates a month ago thru the PC s/w.

& reg. lamination I've done only the front & back. U can do the sides as well. But, front/back is a must to prevent scratchings to the glass surface.[emoji16]

Indian version is the C6902. & C6902 is HSPA+ while the C6903 is LTE.

I got 14.3.A.0.757 update notification:D
[Xperia Z1 General] Mandeep148:
how much size?
[Xperia Z1 General] Peaceful Droid:
Will come to know soon,Still charging phone to 50% it was 16%
[Xperia Z1 General] pranii23:
The size will definitely huge because PCC always downloads the entire firmware file which is supposed to be around 1GB.

You need to wait for OTA update in phone but it will take many days for it from now.
[Xperia Z1 General] Mandeep148:
Oh, u mean I can update my phone without pc?

I thought Sony have only update tech via pc?
[Xperia Z1 General] pranii23:
Yeah but i never waited for the OTA in phone.

But sometimes even the OTA asks you to connect to PCC :-/
[Xperia Z1 General] djcoolguyno1:

[Xperia Z1 General] amey2606:
Got the update.

Wasn't working.

Uninstalled it. ;)
[Xperia Z1 General] Mandeep148:
Yesterday when I bought new z1 at morning,there was already new update notification, but I still thought it's buggy one, still not updated, then I heard that its bug fixed one XD

I will do it today :D

From My love Sony Xperia Z1, Me Samsung fan changed to Xperia after seen S5 lol.
[Xperia Z1 General] Dpk1:
Yes, go ahead with the update. The new update (.757 build) is stable & fixes the sound & camera button bugs (for me at least). Just make sure to backup all important data and do a full wipe before proceeding. Also, try not to fill your sdcard with data as yet (while on jellybean) to avoid any overheating issues after upgrading to kitkat (that most people are complaining about). Mine is running just fine for now (on latest stock rom).
[Xperia Z1 General] crohit911:
Can anyone upload a ftf?
[Xperia Z1 General] Mandeep148:

All is well but just very slightly slutter lag,

[Xperia Z1 General] Mandeep148:
I don't like new lock screen, do u? :/ >.<
[Xperia Z1 General] nifty_mats:
Nope. Me too. Also, I wanted to share a thing. Earlier, battery (after updating to KK) used to drain quite fast. After much preponderence, I disabled the McAfee Security yesterday & now the battery life has VASTLY improved. Around 1.5x!!! Believe it bb..Lol
[Xperia Z1 General] Mandeep148:
My battery drain on kitkat 2% of 7 hours. Battery life is cool.
[Xperia Z1 General] xyz_1232005:
Hi guys, I am from Kolkata and would like to know whether the camera (low light) especially, is good enough for the current competition or should I wait for z2. Thanks!
[Xperia Z1 General] Mandeep148:
Idk about z2 but z1 camera in both day light and night, is just wow. Awesome camera.
[Xperia Z1 General] nifty_mats:
[MENTION=4635768]Mandeep148[/MENTION] Battery life is only 7 hours!! Mine lasts for a day no matter how much u use it. At EOD it goes till max 10% after which I charge it for the next day. & I'm a vry heavy user too.

Btw downloaded & played Real Racing 3. Thanks to whoever recommended it here. So gud. Such immersive gameplay. Feels like driving behing an F1 wheel. I was never a fan of racing games before (Mainly due to lack of a steering wheel). Now I am. U need a steering wheel to understand the true meaning of a racing game.
[Xperia Z1 General] Dpk1:
I think he meant his battery drain was 2% for 7 hours of standby & no that it lasted for only 7 hrs. And I too agree with you that battery life on Z1 has improved pretty much with this kitkat update!

I think Z1 has one of the best low light smartphone cameras out there today, if that's your prime concern then go ahead. Daylight results are very good if you use the manual mode (not that impressive with the default auto mode though). With the latest kitkat upgrade the camera quality has improved overall (both day & night) with noticeable improvement in the auto mode as well!

Z2 has not been released here as yet, so can't comment on it's camera quality. But going by the reviews and user opinions here and elsewhere, it seems sony has tweaked the Z2 camera (software maybe?) to get better results than Z1 (on previous jellybean camera software), although both Z1 & Z2 have same camera hardware i.e sensor & optics. Tbh, I don't think there should be any significant difference between the two with regards to camera quality.
[Xperia Z1 General] Mandeep148:
Anyone facing slightly slutter lag in home screen transition effect?(wallpaper. Transition) I hadn't this on 4.2, I even flashed internal and external memory with hard reset too. But I m quietly disappointed with this lag, I want smooth transition :/
[Xperia Z1 General] ronie_123:
So I have been using the White Z1 for more then 2 months and really disappointed with the camera , especially the flash . Whenever i take pics , the image has white blur on the right side with lots of noise . Tried putting/removing cover but no improvements , also tried holding the phone in different ways without any good result . I can post pics too if you want . Just want to know if its a hardware issue and i can ask for replacement . I didnt pay 40k for this !
[Xperia Z1 General] Dpk1:
Yes, there is slight stutter while using the default live wallpaper. So I changed it to static / normal one & no more stutter. I think sony need to optimise this or drop using the live wallpaper as default. I personally don't care about it though as I don't use it but still it's embarrassing that a device (Z1) of so much raw processing power, which has no problems playing the most demanding games (on android), struggles whilst using a damn live wallpaper!
[Xperia Z1 General] Gladwin_Prince:
Hey guys, Can I know if any India specific 0.757 firmware ftf available???

Thanks in advance
[Xperia Z1 General] nifty_mats:
Yea. Its available via the Sony PCC. But, not via the fone OTA. It'll take some time (2-3 weeks) for the OTA update.

---------- Post added at 11:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:50 AM ----------

Yea. Dere is actually a fault wid the design of the Z1 flash. Its on the bottom, whereas most fones hv it on the sides. Flash shud always be towards the side of the lens.
[Xperia Z1 General] Gladwin_Prince:
Yeah. I know that 0.757 is available in PCC but I need 0.757 india specific ftf file..

Can any one explain the steps to root ,681 ?
[Xperia Z1 General] crohit911:
Z2 has slightly bigger sensor.
[Xperia Z1 General] Dpk1:
No, according to sony it's the same i.e. 1/2.3" Exmor RS sensor with G lens on both Z1 & Z2!
[Xperia Z1 General] nifty_mats:
There's not much diff. at all bet. the Z1 & Z2, apart from the screen size & maybe RAM.

Even the 801 is a slightly tweaked version of the same 800 processor present on our fones.[emoji16]

[Xperia Z1 General] sidm40:
heyy guys,

I'm planning to buy the Xperia Z1. please tell me

1) should i wait for the Z2 as its going to be launched soon.

2) i have read on a lot of forums as well as seen some videos on youtube regarding the touch screen problems with Z1. (The touch screen will cut out during swipes or holds.This results in a continuous swipe or hold being interpreted as a release and a click. If you're scrolling in a web page, the page will stop scrolling and whatever link or ad is under your finger will be clicked.) Even sony has acknowledged this problem and it seems like a hardware issue for which there is no real fix other than replacement !!.I feel that is why Sony decided to launch Z2 (almost similar in specs to Z1) when its just been a little over six months since the launch of Z1. have any of you'll faced problems with the touch screen on Z1??
[Xperia Z1 General] Mandeep148:
I was Samsung fan but after using z1, m Sony fan now,.it's most sexiest device ever, on all terms, no issue yet.

No touch screen issue, but xperia z1 is oil catchy and finger print magnet phone

But it's not issue, and when people use phone without cleaning it becomes feels like touch screen issue, Sony tech is different it's water proof phone in all terms, as well as dust proof too, so when because of dirty hand or oily hands or bad angle of finger touching becomes touch dsync and then some people think that it's touch screen issue.

I hope this helps you.

Sorry for hurry English (driving)
[Xperia Z1 General] 301stSpartan:
I had this problem, and it got very bad the point the device was extremely hard use. I got a replacement and haven't had an issue since.

Hey Guys, i recently updated my Xperia Z1 to Kitkat 4.4.2 (14.3.A.0.757) Firmware.. As there is no India Specific Kitkat firmware FTF file available here at XDA,so i planned to create one. I read many guides in XDA and all of them said 3 files (with names FILE_#######) will be present in blob_fs folder but i found 4 files with names FILE_#######. So, should i create the FTF with all 4 files or am i doing anything wrong here??? when i tried to create the FTF with all 4 files, i created a FTF file successfully but how can i check whether i have done it correctly??? (I cant flash it straight away if that was your answer)
[Xperia Z1 General] m666p:
Nope the lockscreen looked better on 4.2.2 firmwares but there is a solution try gem Xperia xposed, the xposed app has an option to change the entire lockscreen and even display your live wallpaper on it

EDIT(I've seen a few of your posts):Also bro Mandeep148 if you don't root you might as well have bought an iPhone, no titanium backup, no superuser, no system file access, etc

(I can go on but why?)
[Xperia Z1 General] m666p:
[MENTION=4971896]sruba209[/MENTION]

Nope it's not officially launched in india but I found a few seller's of the wire in the dock(via olx), it costed me around 1500rs after bargaining but the charging speed is much slower and it doesn't even fit properly most of the time so wait for the launch of the z2, a mini dock(with the magnetic wire) is in the box so aftermarket stuff should come around soon as well

i wish someone will help me.

previously i have been a Samsung Galaxy SL user, [MENTION=2784807]DooMLoRD[/MENTION] was an active developer of that community as well.

1. Is the screen quality in the model available in india acceptable.?

2. What about the speaker quality.?

3. I have personally taken a few pics on Z1, but when i zoom in, I find a lot of noise which is not the case with samsung galaxy s4. can it be resolved via software update?

4. will this device stand a chance of having official support of cyanogenMod community. (the reason why I didnt buy Galaxy S4).?
[Xperia Z1 General] jos_031:
I do not think sony will resolve the noise to much extend with any update... it is a curse of sony cams... It is based on past phones... all have issue regarding noise.try display yourself... it is personal choice. depends on if you can bear with gamma loss.. for industry best in other areas..speaker quality and headphone quality not so good.. Sony have high possibility of cynogenmod... dont know about new devices as cynogenmod became a corporation last week.
[Xperia Z1 General] DooMLoRD:
1) screen quality is good, photos look more natural. it does have a slight yellow tint similar to the Xperia S

2) speaker quality is much better! and its going to improve with the kernel i am about to release :D

3) no idea

4) CM is already on the way ;)
[Xperia Z1 General] 301stSpartan:
Either this retailer is incorrect/lying or they're selling a different model than I've seen everyone reporting in India. The frequencies they list are only supported by the C6943. But in India it is the C6902/L39h which I have seen sold. Even the customs log from the pre-launch shipment into India on the 16th showed the C6902 model designation. This model has no 4G support.

See frequencies for the models here: http://m.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_z1-5596.php

If you're really concerned about having 4G and believe this retailer, I'd call them and verify the model number. If it is the C6943, please let us know as I'd be curious to see a second model of the same phone selling here under the same brand (like Samsung did with the S2 9100 and 9100G).
[Xperia Z1 General] DooMLoRD:
dude all C69xx are same chipsets only the modems vary..

dont even compare with CRAP samsung which uses different chipsets and internal hardware and brand it under same device name :P
[Xperia Z1 General] 301stSpartan:
I'm aware of the difference between a modem and chipset :p That is not the point of my post... The point is that unless Sony is selling two models (with different capabilities) under the Z1 name in India, there is no 4G on the Z1 here and the retailer in question is wrong. If they are offering more than one, we'd be really interested to know it here ;)
[Xperia Z1 General] DooMLoRD:
i am pretty sure that the C6902 is the only variant officially released here in India...
[Xperia Z1 General] 301stSpartan:
Completely agreed. That's what I was saying in my first post. Retailers are advertising 4G because they probably read online somewhere that the Z1 (in some market somewhere) supports it and are misleading consumers by advertising it as a capability here.

What is the difference between c6943 or c6902/l39h?
[Xperia Z1 General] 301stSpartan:
Different modems means different cell frequencies supported. C6943 supports some bands of 4G LTE, C6902 does not.

The Snapdragon 800 comes in different versions. All are the same except different modem chips included for different frequencies.

[Xperia Z1 General] shubh_007:
I feel that the retailer had imported that model no. and is now trying to sell it. Officially sony has not released the lte model in India and no company will release lte or 4g models unless we get the required network over here. And I doubt if the company has not released the model it will provide support for it in India.
[Xperia Z1 General] ambition8753:
Camera + Screen Review

Here is my take on Z1's camera.

1) Pics in outdoors are superb. Manual mode or Superior mode. Manual mode gives better pics with the 3 times zoon.

2) Indoors.. pics are as good as any other phone ( I dont know about Nokia 1020 but have used HTC One, Lumia 720, s3 and s4)

The reason i feel people are commenting negatively about Z1's camera is because they click a pic and then zoom to the fullest.. and Z1 shows grains.. obviously there would be distortion, where others phones software post process to saturate(read Over-saturate) or smooth out the images (creating more of pixeling and blocks) .. Sony camera keep the image almost in kind of a raw format, giving you the option to post process it the way you want. From photography perspective, its a really good functionality. Again, this happens only indoors. So from the way I see it, Z1's camera is really good probably only next to Nokia 1020.

I loved the screen as well.. its really good on eyes.. doesnt over saturate the colours. Viewing angles washout.. well i dont know at what instances I view my phone at viewing angles. Rather it helps from prying eyes :P.

The only thing I do not like about Z1 is the vibration mode. Its lil quirky and weird kinds primarily because of glass back.

[Xperia Z1 General] crohit911:
Ratings of the charger?

5v; 1.5-2.5A shouldn't cause any trouble.
[Xperia Z1 General] nifty_mats:
Its 5v; 0.7A. Is it fine? or its harmful for the phone?
[Xperia Z1 General] DeathlessOne:
0.7A? You're saying that it charges fast? Sony's 1 or 1.5A I guess. Either you must be feeling so, or you might not have read the info properly! Coz 0.7A is pretty low I hope.
[Xperia Z1 General] nifty_mats:
No, I rechecked it. Its 0.7 A. On the Sony charger, its written 1500 mA.

But, I swear the Sammy charger charges the fone around 1.7-8x faster than the original charger. I guess its not the fault of the fone, but the charger due to which we say Z1 charges slowly. Sammy charger is wayyyy better.
[Xperia Z1 General] DeathlessOne:
Oh, that's what. Sony's charger is 1.5A, has double the output capacity of Sammy's. Maybe you charger is faulty I hope.

Anything between from 1A to 2.5A max is good for the device :) Charging the device using more powerful adapters than the ones mentioned may damage your battery in the long run. I would advise you to keep it at 2A max.
