Overall feel

Tested the camera. I don't think Sony will ever save this camera unfortunately. I did my best tweaking scene modes and ISO for a low light shot and the noise level was just through the roof. It was terrible really. So disappointed with it.

App Installer visual bug is still present from the leaked version as the alignment is all wrong. Would have thought Sony would fix that but no deal there.

I actually was so disappointed I went back to CM11 until the bugs are sorted out. Granted scrolling is smooth and they seem to have tweaked the colour temperature to make it look a bit better but I am going to have to annoy a lot of people and say the firmware as it is is just a shambles.
[Xperia Z General] doministry:
What's the app installer visual bug?
[Xperia Z General] bourne220:
App Installer

Same as it was in the leak. When you go to sideload an app, look at the top. The name is aligned wrong and when you hit install, the install progress line is laid out right on the title text. It's an absolute shambles and I would have thought Sony would have fixed that from the leaked version like I said.

Another thing I found is Wikitude Places camera add on keeps throwing up that stopped working text box when you change lenses in the camera app even though it is one of the installable lens add ons.

Nobody can really answer that for you. If root is important, then either don't update or flash [NUT]'s prerooted 569 rom over your current rom (find it in the development section).
[Xperia Z General] zodiac100:
Can you please expand on these lots of new features. For me, the biggest change is with performance. The phone on 4.3 is a lot smoother than on. 4.2.

I also like the one handed keyboard but I think that's been implemented on Samsung devices already. Still getting used to the new keyboard which works in different way to the previous one. It can seem sometimes like it has a mind of it's own but I think that's just me needing to get used to it. Add to that, the new camera ui and apps and that's it. Not sure where you got all those new useful features you're talking about but I haven't noticed them yet so please expand.

Maybe I'm missing something!

---------- Post added at 11:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:01 AM ----------

As far as the update goes, it's definitely the best stock rom to date mainly because of the significant performance boost and Sony's own 2013 software. Up until now, the Z has been running 2012 software from Sony and it's a shame we've had to wait until December for it. That's what having two flagships per year does. It dilutes the brand stretching resources to the point that users just will never get great support for as long as Sony continues with this policy.

To avoid going on another rant and to summarize, it's a great update but it's too flipping late for Sony's 2013 software additions hitting a 2013 flagship in December. That's just unacceptably poor. Sorry to all the fanboys who are bound to object to these comments but for me it really is that simple. I'm not saying the. 4.3 update is late, I'm saying Sony's own software is hitting the Z much too late. We should have got all this back with 4.2 update but no, they kept it for the launch of another phone. That's poor that you become a second class customer barely six months after purchasing a £500 device from Sony. Two flagships does no one any favours. Not Sony, and definitely not consumers.
[Xperia Z General] gripfly:
Which features? I can't remember that I wrote much about features. :p

Maybe I wrote about Xposed?
[Xperia Z General] Tommy-Geenexus:
I fully agree. Sony should have put a snapdragon 600 in it and sell it as direct htc one competitor. And later they should have released only the xperia z ultra with a smaller screen like 5,7-6 inches as a note 3 competitor.

And the z1 could have waited till 2014.

What I've noticed on jelly bean 4.3 .569 so far, ist that in a quite short period of time, a lot of ram is being used and that when using the navigation, battery drain is enormous.

I'm noticing something with my update check. I have Generic ES installed on my Xperia Z and this morning, scavenger was not telling the last available version for this customization. Now when I check for the update on the phone and on PCC it takes a little longer to check than usual. However it tells me there is no update. Is this a sign that the update may be coming?

Just telling.
[Xperia Z General] Denhot:
Assuming you have everything stock

As I won't know otherwise.

You won't lose anything, you can use PCC or SUS

In SUS your phone is switched off for the time update downloads and flashes.

PCC you can still use it..till the download part.(I'm throttled right now, so yeah :( )

PCC is the safest..just click on the new update and follow...I have messages, apps,etc from 4-5 updates back so be relaxed.

Use the inbuilt backup application if you want to be double safe.

SUS read every step, it's a bit more advanced..

Over last three updates I have used SUS much more stable than PCC, I feel :)
[Xperia Z General] IvanXperiaZ:
I have the same situation. This morning, I checked if software is available on my phone (Settings/About phone/Software update), and it doesn't found anything. It usually takes less than a second to scan if new software is available. 5 minutes ago, i was going to check it again, and it doesn't show that new software is available, but it was scanning about 30 seconds. I thing that's a sign that update is coming, because it is impossible that it is coincidence that we have same situation. I am from Croatia, by the way, and I cant wait to get 4.3 ! :D

---------- Post added at 12:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:59 AM ----------

I agree with you except for the Z1 bit. I don't think Z1 should ever have been released. It's obviously a phone which they didn't spend much time developing. It's like they took the omnibalance design of the Z and just ruined it. It's by far the biggest 5 incher on the market and for me that's a design failure with those god awful bezels. The price of the Z1 plummeted by almost £200 in under two months which really says it all. Just having the latest cpu isn't enough to sell a phone because that's something only a tiny minority of users care about. Sony shot themselves in the foot, the thought the Z wouldn't be able to hold its own for long and so decided to replace it like they did the Xperia s with the T last year. That was a very bad miscalculation because the Z held its own despite all the nonsense from the tech blogs. Sony would have been better off focusing on improving and supporting the Z rather than releasing another phone which is by every sense of it, half baked.

The Z for the first time since I got it in February, feels like a 2013 device and that's just way too late indeed!

The android space is a very crowded and competitive arena and Sony's two flagship policy will never deliver the sort of sustained support that'll satisfy current consumer demands.

I'm pretty certain that the Z is still outselling the Z1. 4 people at my place of just bought Sony devices recently. Two got Z1 but one of them returned the device because of its size. The other two got Z 's. When I asked them why they choose the Z, one replied because it has better design and bigger screen. He said he wasn't bothered about the processor because the Z already had a processor faster than what he had on his laptop lol!

I had to explain to him that both devices had the same screen size. I understood where he was coming from though because when you hold both devices side by side, the Z does seem like it's got a bigger display. That's what big ugly bezels can do, they make the display look boxed in and smaller than it actually is. I learnt that lesson with the Xperia S and vowed never to buy another big bezel phone.

So that's the only thing I disagree with you on, the Z1 should never have been released. It's like I said, a very half baked device.

I agree with wright_ac,we should be more patient.Maybe Sony is preparing or testing the new Z1 UI,which is really good especially for the camera.Other flagship devices didnt get so much things with 4.3,but we might get a whole new experience with it.

Sony are japanese and for them(japanese) everything has to be perfect,so maybe they are cleaning bugs and stuff and when the final version is ready i am sure that it will suprise a lot of the Xperia Z users.;)

[Xperia Z General] [NUT]:
If this is your only Sony (-Ericsson) you know nothing about the horrors the Xperia owners had to face with models from 2011 and before...

Honestly, you where thanking whatever God you believe in on your bare knees if you even GOT an update (at all!)... And the updates which did roll out where causing more issues then they resolved :eek:

Honestly, for Sony standards at least, the 2month release cycle is refreshing. They now actually solve more issues then they introduce, and don't abandon a flagship phone with some silly excuse anymore...

Don't forget, you bought the phone almost a year ago, but still they are spending money to update it... The money spent would go to waste if they skipped 4.3, they have been at it since it's incarnation... Did they send you a bill to cover the development costs? I don't think so... But still, even without a true increase on the cash you spent, they will release a 4.4 ROM at some point...

Seriously people, chill out... Wait for it, it will come. And when it does, be happy it did... The 600-ish Euro you've paid for the phone has been spent 10fold on development costs by the time you are busy downloading the update...
[Xperia Z General] slim207rc:
You're right on that point!

Thing is, the way 4.3 and 4.4 have been built up to even work on low efficiency phones, don't expect awesome new stuff.. Just little functions that don't change much but even more battery issue's. I really don't understand what is beefing expected by the updates!!!
[Xperia Z General] slim207rc:
Well then just flash 4.3 / 4.4 . There are Roms already out from open.source. You'll see that the main thing that's changed a little is the ui.. Apart from that.. Well just take a look yourself!

My Z is barely 3 months old and i had the choice between this and z1.

In the store i didn't even saw a diff between the display and such, and that's why i grabbed the z.

The z1 may be good and powerful, but the z can handle everything very well and has a nice dev support on top.
