I personally don't think its too bad to be honest.. having a white balance setting should fix it for me anyways.... is there no way to use Screen adjuster to make it more white?
[Xperia Z1 General] ImAnurag:
Yes you can use screen adjuster but what i noticed that changing blue to +6 in its settings makes white better but i found screen a bit yellowish in my previous z1

White balance settings would be better like Xz has....one should try flashing that file
[Xperia Z1 General] DeathlessOne:
I tried porting it from Z but was impossible, well at least to me. Let me try again.
[Xperia Z1 General] ImAnurag:
Alert :- since i flashed the new firmware, i have had two automatic switch off

Users reported this bug on previous firmware.

I am doubting Sony whether they did any change in this firmwarw or not...i feel no difference except better camera.
[Xperia Z1 General] DooMLoRD:

Guys!

See this link, accroding to this the phone's import price is 20.5k only:silly:

http://www.zauba.com/import-c6902-hs-code.html

and the phone is coming from China and sweden.

so definitely the phone from sweden will have superior quality than China ones.
[Xperia Z1 General] amankapoor4:
does indian version support 4G, i think it does.
[Xperia Z1 General] 301stSpartan:
Anyone know where to get it today in Bangalore? Sony Center on brigade road doesn't have it. So much for a big launch and "available today". How hard is effective distribution on your new and highly hyped flagship :banghead:

---------- Post added at 10:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:18 AM ----------

No, India gets the c9602, which doesn't have LTE
[Xperia Z1 General] amankapoor4:
I think it is supposed to be available from tomorrow.

Thanks for the info regarding LTE.

Now to wait for 10% cash back offer on FK :P
[Xperia Z1 General] DeathlessOne:
Mate, it's mentioned Eveready charger on FK. No details about case or accidental damage insurance though. I trust FK, but please be cautioned though.
[Xperia Z1 General] amankapoor4:
i am not ordering yet mate, i wait for LG G2 to release as well. I made the mistake of ordering Z without seeing the initial device, and was extremely disappointed by camera. I will take my time before buying this. Also 10% discount happens once in a blue moon :)

Nope, supposed to be available from today according to all the articles I've seen. Pretty sad that they can't get it into their own stores on time for a flagship device in one of the biggest metro markets. Very disappointing
[Xperia Z1 General] shubhamnad:
Sony centre here in Kolkata said that it will be available from first week of october....what the hell is going on..?:confused:

Good time to head out of country, by the time i come back next month prices will have settled and then i can decide what to buy :)
[Xperia Z1 General] Sean473:
I personally feeling more and more inclined to think Sony has delayed rolling out the update to improve on it and remove some bugs.. otherwise it would have already been pushed to people's phones which it hasn't yet!
[Xperia Z1 General] shubhamnad:
What the hell is sony thinking and not releasing it to the consumers... :mad:
[Xperia Z1 General] ImAnurag:
if they delay the roll out, still users will be getting the same update with same firmware, kernel and other files...means same bugs :silly:

Delay in rolling out is just because of load on their server.
[Xperia Z1 General] shubhamnad:
I m just interested in camera software update... Really need dat..
[Xperia Z1 General] ImAnurag:
camera is a lot better as compared to previous one.
[Xperia Z1 General] parag1dubey:
Before flashing the new firmware I had made a backup with pc companion. How to restore it? And will it restore the previous firmware 534?
[Xperia Z1 General] DeathlessOne:
Sony PCC never takes backup of the ROM itself. The following will be restored:

Contacts

Messages

Media files (Pics and videos taken from camera)

APN and other settings

Apps with their data
[Xperia Z1 General] ImAnurag:
To restore .534 flash the .534 ftf back.
[Xperia Z1 General] parag1dubey:
Thanks .. One more thing.. If the Sony people don't agree to give me a replacement, How much can I expect to get for this phone? :(
[Xperia Z1 General] DeathlessOne:
Oh no you don't. They might refuse,if so will you sell it? We consumers deserve the service we need. Please don't do such kind of activities. Please do sell it only for personal or some other reasons. If all people do like this, then these stupid reps will never learn. What issues do you have now with your Z1? The next option would be that if one center refuse, go to another. All won't be the same. If all refuse, we can even break the hell loose and knock some sense onto them.
[Xperia Z1 General] parag1dubey:
As i said pure white colour doesn't appear on my phone. Gmail looks yellowish. Setting menu looks yellowish. I have never been so frustrated with a phone before and after paying so much. :( imagine, having to visit the service center days after purchase..
[Xperia Z1 General] DeathlessOne:
Yes that's too bad. The same happened for me either. I just gave it for replacement a week after purchase. I haven't received it yet. I gave them on 8th of this month. Just replace. If they hesitate, find any other fault with your device before proceeding. Like SoD, random reboots etc. If they ask you to show the issue, tell them that it appears randomly. Also try saying that proximity sensor doesn't work properly when under calls. Don't forget to tell them that it happens occasionally. Look at their face, even if you see slight chances of approval on their face, then be satisfied. After they've agreed, tell them the hue issue (only after agreeing). They'll mention about it too in the Job Sheet. If they don't accept your issues, then argue. Tell them that it can't be shown when it appears randomly. Visit another center possible. Tell them the same. Don't worry, you can get it replaced in no time. If all else fails, you can hard brick it manually :)
[Xperia Z1 General] predator21:
its strange i too hv z1 and i have little yellow tint but i like it... coz its smooth to eyes a bit... n i hv compared many z1 all hv same....i am little confused what exactly is yellow tint n white.... or may be i am not able to differentiate well...
[Xperia Z1 General] DeathlessOne:
True. I am in the same dilemma as well. I too can't differentiate now between white and yellow. People compare their Z1 with laptop screens and such. Honestly, does it do justice? How can they compare devices with different category altogether? How about their laptop screens were defective? Anyways, this would be my last replacement and I'm not gonna replace it anytime unless a serious issue happens excluding the tint issue.
[Xperia Z1 General] 301stSpartan:
Agreed. Mine is not as "pure" white as my laptop or my S2 but I actually like it. It is much gentler on the eyes. People should stop worrying so much and asking "omg do I have the 'yellow tint problem?'" and rather ask themselves if they enjoy the screen they have. After using this phone, my slightly warmer whites start to look just plain white and anything else seems unnecessarily blue and harsh.
[Xperia Z1 General] predator21:
who cares...i am happy with this toy...jst waiting for update...n as far as screen i concerned.. ilike it
[Xperia Z1 General] parag1dubey:
Please see this guys.. Someone asked Sony on twitter about yellow tint issue and got this reply.. They think it's a firmware issue and that the new firmware will solve it.. In view of this, should i wait before going to Sony service?
[Xperia Z1 General] adeelraj:
Its just software issue

They will tune the colors in their next update
[Xperia Z1 General] ImAnurag:
New update is same as before, not much changes in screen. they have just removed optimized brightness option nothing else to display.
[Xperia Z1 General] shubhamnad:
Good news... The update is available sony pcc
[Xperia Z1 General] Ame123:
It is not..just checked
[Xperia Z1 General] parag1dubey:

[Xperia Z1 General] parag1dubey:
Anurag, which ftf file did you flash for 534?i want to go back to 534 and then update via pc companion...
[Xperia Z1 General] ImAnurag:
i backed up my previous firmware ftf, so i flashed that one and i already had saved files of that firmware on SUS so i updated via it.

Someone posted the link above i guess, did you try it ?
[Xperia Z1 General] parag1dubey:
No, I will have to download it and try..
[Xperia Z1 General] ImAnurag:
how did you update to .534 firmware, if via PCC or SUS, you must be having saved files in your PC. Extract them to make a ftf and flash it :)
[Xperia Z1 General] parag1dubey:
When i bought the phone and switched it on, there was a notification for update. I just updated ota.. Will there be an ftf somewhere on the phone?

Otherwise, if you have the exact firmware which is official for India, please provide a link.. Thanks
[Xperia Z1 General] DeathlessOne:
Yes it is and yes it will. In order to check for updates, the service center guys should give my device first :)
[Xperia Z1 General] ImAnurag:
no OTA has no backup files. that's why i don't update via OTA :p

well search this thread in search box, some one must have posted the firmware ftf.
[Xperia Z1 General] DeathlessOne:
No FTF's are stored in phone. And actually FTF is a format used by flashtool alone which was developed by our proud developers. Sony doesn't use the therm FTF. I have my own .534 FTF created by myself in my PC, but my I-net isn't worhty enough to upload a 800 megabyte file :)

By the OTA's can never be bundled as FTF's and they aren't stored in phone either. Like Apple OTA generally don't download the entire 800 MB file I guess.
[Xperia Z1 General] ImAnurag:
Am i the first one to update :P

Yes i did :cool:

Firmware smooth

Camera improved

Battery - can't say now

Screen - i don't find any change

All those who have yellow tint, is it improved ???
[Xperia Z1 General] shubhamnad:
No change in display
[Xperia Z1 General] ImAnurag:
Yes as i told before , no change...

Did you check camera ? Its evening...capture some shots
[Xperia Z1 General] shubhamnad:
I can't find much of a difference in it either... Its a little better
[Xperia Z1 General] japjit100:
If any one going to buy don't buy this serial numbers bh 904 , bh 905

Sony shipped faulty devices in India
[Xperia Z1 General] 301stSpartan:
I love the screen on my 904. I find the warmer whites easier on the eyes and more appealing than the harsher whites

[Xperia Z1 General] ImAnurag:
root not yet available, previous working tools like vRoot, 360Root etc are not working now. Seems it is patched now.

I guess pre-rooted rom of this firmware is available for c6903....saw in some thread.
[Xperia Z1 General] guddu2011:
maybe i can make flashable patch for C6902..
[Xperia Z1 General] ImAnurag:
Flashable ? We need recovery for that and for that one need to roll back on previous firmware...
[Xperia Z1 General] Ame123:
Did anyone noticed that the quadrant scores are decreased by a huge margin.didnt tried anyother benchmark app..has anybody tried gaming on the new firmware?

[Xperia Z1 General] ImAnurag:

[Xperia Z1 General] natkaen:

to all following serial no

yellow hue problem is not related to serial no.........i saw four devices two devices with bh905 and bh904 with yellow tint,another two with bh905 and bh904 without yellow tint/hue and the display was really good.......so telling yellow tint problem follows certain serial no is baseless and not true..............

Have you installed the drivers? They should be installed first. Install drivers from flashtool. Do you have flashtool?
[Xperia Z1 General] SkyKOG:
Hi ...flashtool drivers ? .... im sorry could you please elaborate ... assuming i have a new system ... what all drivers should i install to get up and running ...such that these root tools can identify my phone and i can root it ? ...

Thanks for your response ...
[Xperia Z1 General] DeathlessOne:
Ll guide you in steps:

1. First download the latest version of flashtool from here (V12): https://unrestrict.li/flashtool

2. Install it. (Don't change the default directory, let it install in C:\Flashtool)

3. Open the installation directory, there will be a folder named drivers. Run the executable from it.

4. Select the following components to install: Xperia Z1 driver, Xperia Z1 L39h driver, Flashmode drivers and fastboot drivers.

5. Now connect your device, put it in USB debugging and root it.

As you're in Windows 8, you'd need to disable driver signature enforcement in-order to install the last two drivers above. Google it and you will find the steps, if you still can't them let me know. Ll help you. And you're good to go.

Note 2: Please upgrade to Windows 8.1 soon :D
[Xperia Z1 General] SkyKOG:
Thanks very much Gire :) ... it worked perfect ....installed the drivers .... did the Win8 driver thing and rooted fine :D ...

Have a good day ....

Hey guys! So I have a small question don't need any big reviews :p

I am planning to get a z1 but I am still stuck on one question, which color? :confused:

Black,

Purple or

White

Please suggest me, thanks :)
[Xperia Z1 General] ImAnurag:
White has better display as far as i heard
[Xperia Z1 General] DeathlessOne:
Ha ha, it's fine. Glad you did it.

---------- Post added at 09:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:18 PM ----------

Black - Looks good, fingerprint and smudge magnet

White - Depends on how you look at it, good looks as well, muck less fingerprint and smudge visibility

Purple - Err, you see and decide. It's a great addition too if your device wanna stand out from the crowd.

Both 3 are subject to scratches and black'll show it gorgeously.
[Xperia Z1 General] junesque:
Got my replacement today and the yellow hue persists the guy from Sony said that I should again get replacement after a month,

Any advice?
[Xperia Z1 General] parag1dubey:
I would suggest, sell your xperia z1 and get another phone.

You ll lose some money but get a trouble free phone.. What if you get a replacement again and still get a yellow tinted screen?
[Xperia Z1 General] amey2606:
Get the replacement in December or January.

I am gonna do the same, as it is we have six months of ADC.

And most of the issues, both hardware and software, will be ironed out by then, including arrival of new defect-free Z1 batches.
[Xperia Z1 General] junesque:
Okay keep me posted if the bug free batch comes out.
[Xperia Z1 General] amey2606:
Sure, I will be going for the replacement only after December.

We will also have to keep a track of new users coming in till then with the sr no. of their batches.

Use the device to its full potential till then, also check if u find out any new defects or bugs. ;)
[Xperia Z1 General] junesque:
Yeah that will be wise.

Yea dark images on previous firmware also if light is not good.

Great images in daylight with ar effect
[Xperia Z1 General] japjit100:
i recommend you argument with call center then they give you senior no number tell them give me refund if you cant provide perfect z1

in starting s4 have some issus after mouth it all solved by samsung

sony mobile india have very bad service
[Xperia Z1 General] crk1995:
even in enough light the rear camera struggles to produce bright images.

Its a firmware bug since the beginning.

Is there any way we can inform sony about the issue, so they can work on a fix.
