I love my Z1. I do think the screen could have been better and the camera sw will hopefully be improved, but otherwise it's a hell of an excellent piece of kit. I particularly like the launcher, it's clean, smooth and with the new theme options it's also very costumizable. Coming from a Samsung, it feels like night and day with build quality and sw. And let's not forget Sonys open modding support(bootloader issue fixed, woop!).
[Xperia Z1 General] STreeTNerD:
ROM

also sony has the best stock Rom. my 2 cents:D
[Xperia Z1 General] Morlock O:
So we should take your opinion over professional reviewers over the camera quality? lol get your delusional head out of your butt lol

as for the screen, read again what I said lmfao... I said better screen color reproduction (head on) didnt say anything about whites blacks or viewing angles or daylight lmfao... btw daylight visibility is not that far off lol @ miles better... I live in a hot country so daylight visibility is very impt to me... thats why I never buy samsungs...

Not my opinion my comparison will show you everything , of course there's the vote pool as well :cyclops:

Here the link in case you missed it :) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2542663

Btw i didn't say screen of z1 is THAT BAD , it's simply no match for HTC One screen even if lets say it has better reproduction that's 1 point right , what about , viewing angles , blacks , whites, outside visibility , these are the 4 other areas where HTC One dominates so it's still 4 points vs 1 which leads in overall better score for HTC One screen , besides i've never seen a review praising Z1 screen , most of them simply say * it's not as good as htc one screen but it's the closest as it gets ;) *

Honestly, would have been legit and all EXCEPT for the fact that its posted in the HTC One Forum :|

Post the same thing in the Z1 Forum and you will get different poll results...

Really, of course HTC One's going to win in the vote results, there's gonna be bias everywhere.

With regards to my vote? I vote for Z1. HTC One photos are all overblown sorry.
[Xperia Z1 General] Shan89:
I did post the link in photo thread of Z1 as well , besides you don't even need the vote poll to see who was the winner , you have pictures !

Right friend, ;) my first android is X10 then, note2, butterfly, nx4, gpro but for now come back to Sony and will never change my main phone to other brand again.

Sammy give you every thing you need (i love wolfson audio chip) and plus more junk than every brand. very low build quality(note2 repair 4time in 8month, change pen, board, touch panel, subbord i will never buy Sammy again).

htc is good inside but outside not good forme, too quick to bored and alway heat, easy to damage, after sale too bad. software update is bad too.

Lg is better korean phone, i love qeRemote on g pro. but other is not good bad plastic (but build quality is better than sammy) but software is very very bad than every brand.

Sony best choice for me, software is lite and smooth, build quality is best (but screen is bad view angle but i dont care bcyz i dony want to share my screen to other peaople in public place). but many one told me that after sale service not good too.

so, my old x10 fried who use it for 4-5years just told me that he has change to Z1 too. bcuz x10 is slow for new app.

I just told that, people shold buy a phone that they use to try it and love it. dont care other people. because they will told you that the brand/phone them love is best. :)

sorry for my bad english gramma.

Poor wifi

Random reboots

Not all phones can have their bootloaders unlocked (mines one of them)

Problems with screens having a tint to them

Touch being unresponsive

Camera alignment issues

Some phones not being as waterproof as they should be.

To name but a few issues that have plagued the Z1, plus they've not been great in recent years.

However, the Z1 has some pretty brilliant things about it too and they shouldn't be overlooked.

Great camera (although grainy when you zoom, in most lighting situations)

Waterproof (mine is anyway)

Decent UI out of the box

Superb build quality

Great design

Ability to unlock the bootloader (although i can't do mine, most can)

Timely updates? Not too sure on this one but people have raved about this

Very very fast processor, comparing it to my HTC One which is no slouch, the Z1 slammed it in terms of performance.

SD Slot

Either way i think it balances out, I can live with the random reboots and the wifi hasn't been an issue for me, only thing is the damn bootloader not being unlocked for certain people, it's a total deal breaker for me.

First and last Sony i ever get, which is a shame as I really like so much of the phone besides some issues that have made me think twice.
[Xperia Z1 General] mckeowngoo:
Jeez, I though this was a dev site. Close this useless fan boy thread before it collapses into flame posts and bad feeling.
[Xperia Z1 General] warfareonly:
[MENTION=2880355]dladz[/MENTION] Is yours bought via a carrier? If it is, then it shouldn't be a surprise that it's not bootloader unlockable.
[Xperia Z1 General] eclyptos:
Give time to Developers to develop new stuff and new solutions and we newer regret to have the Z1. But I saw a HTC One dev section and if Full of roms, I mean 3 time than Z1 iven more, I hope we reach that one day.
[Xperia Z1 General] ajftl:
Lol. whatever.
[Xperia Z1 General] MADNJPN:
"Paid SONY Agent" well said, but no *unfortunately* I just say it because my parents had different phones and I always compared them to SONY products and that's why I wrote all that stuff. I know all that HTC One fans, I have one, and he can't even sleep without it, yea the only good thing about the phone is only display nothing more, I didn't like the sound, camera and that toy design. I don't understand how you can even think of comparing the camera of these two phones.. SONY just has problems with software, not with hardware, yea I experienced some on my Z, but installing Cyanogen mod solved my problem, I got full control over the camera with 3rd party apps and I shot excellent pictures even at low light, you just need to know which button to press to get the right shot... I didn't want this post to grow into war I just wanted to say that you should not believe the reviews sometimes.
[Xperia Z1 General] LiquidNitrogen1412:
It's a good listing of specs for the Sony and Against. I have also one and I'm right on your side before i had samsungs and stuff good customziable but their case quality is not so good at all.With the HTC i can only say i doesn't want that for me its a phone for fashion guys and they change to much in the firwares it's even more bloated and stuff like the Sony.friend of mine has a HTC One and he sell it because flashing and custom Rom is such userunfriendly to install and stuff that he changed to an S4.Both are good Phones,nearly every Phone this days are good like LG Google Nexus... going on expect Apple :D:D.But don't judge him to hard because he likes his sight of a company and share that with us.And in many points you all have to say he talks the truth and don't look away from that.Even if the Phone is not perfect find one whats better with the same type of new high end hardware, what is something special what not everybody has like an S4.I think we should not see it as an only Fanboy thread, because everybody loves his phone and say its the best.Just read it and keep it in your minds and not more at all.

best wishes,

Nico

Coming from note 2 then s4 I tried Htc one, good phone screen a bit small for a big phone, but had to go back to s4 because of terrible battery life now I have z1 I have the build quality and the battery life with no lag.
[Xperia Z1 General] dlads:
Pretty irrelevant to be honest, this would be the first phone bought from a carrier that couldn't be bootloader unlocked i've had, and taking a quick browse over my sig and seeing my android history will show u that it's quite a lot, and the vast majority of them were orange locked until i unlocked them, this one was bought from EE.

With the bootloader being borked because of the camera, how would someone with my history have the insight to know that it couldn't be unlocked if it'd never happened before? It's maybe my fault for not delving in a bit deeper and i'll learn from it, I just think it's ridiculous that this is the case.

As i said, this is my first and last Sony.

---------- Post added at 07:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:05 AM ----------

This would be the general section ! Not the dev section so pretty much anything can go here.

---------- Post added at 07:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:06 AM ----------

There are a shedload of roms for the One, HTC have always had a huge following, they started it all in my eyes, some people just don't forget that.
[Xperia Z1 General] warfareonly:
It is relevant. If EE instructed Sony to make the bootloader not unlockable,then it isn't Sony's fault. Proof that the vast majority of your phones were unlockable is a moot point. As you yourself said, this one's from a different carrier. And carriers are notorious lot, aren't they?

The camera is faulty because of the bootloader, not the other way round. And it's fixed now, btw. It is your fault, this issue was known as soon as someone tried to unlock the bootloader and posted his experience. You should have dug deeper.

Your choice. The ZU and Z1 are my 1st and 2nd Sony respectively and I'm gonna stick to Sony for a long time indeed :D
[Xperia Z1 General] jlevy73:
So true about HTC. The original HTC nexus with it's funky trackball is the main reason I chose android over apple. Sure there was the Droid, Eris and G1 before that, but that device really put Android on the map. Big props to HTC, I sure hope they can right their financial ship as they still make some great phones.
[Xperia Z1 General] TheCraig:
Ever since I had my Xperia Play if you had a branded-xperia phone you could not unlock it. A quick google search will tell you that.

I always buy unbranded phones because I want complete control of what network I use, EE's 4G has just come to my area so I'm jumping on that bandwagon. No restrictions, just a sim-only contract.
[Xperia Z1 General] dlads:
Only problem with HTC is some of the decisions that they've made in the past and some of what they continue to make, so the HTC One over the s4 is the right choice but to stick with HTC or get the Max which is still a 600 and so big it's unreal or jump to an 800 device and see how it goes is what i went for and probably a lot of other people did too.

I've got a few contracts and i can see myself shelving the Z1 or selling it and getting the m8, if it ever arises, depending on specs of course.

---------- Post added at 10:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:04 AM ----------

[MENTION=4393033]warfareonly[/MENTION] Seriously? Well out of all the BRANDED phones that i've had i've never come across this before, why would i have thought otherwise.

As i said i'll learn from it but it is a first for me, an if you want to stick with Sony then that's down to you, myself i won't.

[MENTION=4243560]TheCraig[/MENTION] How do i know to google something if i have a preconception about it not being a problem?

Funny how people always gang up on someone when they go against the grain and don't conform to standard.
[Xperia Z1 General] cippi21:
[MENTION=2880355]dladz[/MENTION] don't worry mate there is always a way someone will come up with something....I had an xperia play with bl unlock no but people found a way around that.
[Xperia Z1 General] dlads:
I hope so m8, it's really done my head in, i'm bitter about it and mad because i didn't look into it enough.

My only fear is that not enough people have the issue for it to be looked into by someone who knows how to fix it, but i'm hoping that someone does, i'd donate for that for sure. ;)

Cheers m8.
[Xperia Z1 General] cippi21:
This is my last of topic haha....my bl unlock is no too so your not the only one out there and I'm sure there others too...now back on topic Sony rulez haha :D
[Xperia Z1 General] dlads:
Lol ;)
[Xperia Z1 General] Dark_SE:
I've been an Sony (Ericsson) user since the good old T68i James Bond Edition :) With the camera you had to plug in under the phone. Back then it took actually good pictures ;) I think i still have it somewhere..

And i agree that some older Sony phones take better pictures then the phones we have now. My C905 with his Xenon flash and 8Mpx still rocks and takes better pictures then 90% of the smartphones now..

When will we have a Xenon flash in our smartphones?

I think its better than the LED.
[Xperia Z1 General] TheCraig:
Ganging up on you? I'm stating the obvious. I've never done research about a phone I was going to buy. You made some points but no one is ganging up on you.
[Xperia Z1 General] negrobembon:
You really want this case, don't you? You've posted this everywhere
[Xperia Z1 General] dlads:
My only fear is that the Z1 hasn't had a lot of attention from people, you've only got to compare the Z1 forum with another to see that m8.

I've killed my Z1 anyway, and instead of going back through EE i've returned it via carphone warehouse in the hope that i'll get an unlockable version.

2 weeks wait though :( I've borrowed a HTC One from work in the meantime, i miss this phone :(

Hopefully it'll all work out.
[Xperia Z1 General] cippi21:
I know what u mean I had an s2 before and that forum is full of development...but then again the s2 is out a long time...hopefully u will get a bootloader unlock yes..I'm not really bothered about the bootloader status for now anyway haha

Hi Christopher!

I like your products but I have a problem. When I listen to music on stock kernel, I almost don't hear the noise. When I use your kernel, the noise on the headphones is several times louder. I listen music on the SoundMagic e10 headphones and I don't hear the noise on other phones (for example Nokia E52).

Could you do anything with that?

I would be thankful!

I've installed 352 ExUV and 378/ExUV and 360UV and with all i have shutdowns.. Back to stock kernel

[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] jako_tako:
Make wipe cache/dalvik or reinstall ROM.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] smitharro:
Do the latter: reinstall the rom. Only this way the shutdowns disappear. And oh yeah, don't active zRam. No matter which kernel, I'm having shutdowns with this....
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] silverTwins:
the pmem allocations are just memory allocations for the camera. the camera has been working fine with pmem allocations till now and there is no difference in performance. as for ion support it is a totally different thing as the camera sources are not open so moving the memory allocations of the camera to ion from pmem is difficult.. to cut short there is no performance degradation in camera operations.. hope this answers your question

From my personal experience, the performance on ION is a bit better than with PMEM.

Hi, is it normal that my whole phone freezes if I overclock it over 1612 MHz?

Gesendet von meinem GT-I9001 mit Tapatalk
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Marshian:
What you're actually doing when you're overclocking is using a chip outside of the safe range specified by the manufacturer. In case of our phone, Samsung has designed a chip to operate between 245 and 1401 MHz. As long as the chip works in this range, it's perfectly fine for them. When overclocking you're actually assuming the chip can operate at different speeds. Though the chip was not designed to do this, this could still work due to randomness in the production process. However, there are no guarantees.

It's perfectly possible you have a chip which is not stable at speeds higher than 1612 MHz. If you're using the ExUV version you can try using the UV version. This should be - generally speaking - more stable. Other than that, there's really nothing that can be done.

If the above explanation is a tad too technical: overclocking is using the phone in a way that was not intended by Samsung. You might just have a phone which can't handle the increased speed, causing it to freeze. Try using the UV kernel instead of the ExUV kernel. If that doesn't help, you will not be able to overclock above 1612 MHz.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] smitharro:
My phone is perfectly stable on 1766 MHz for more than a year now. I always use a uv version, never a exuv!

That's correct on the fly it works.

When I change to 'Smartass V2' after reboot it still uses 'Smartass V2', but CPU freq. falls back to 1401 instead of 1766.
