Sony hasn't actually said there's anything different with the camera has it? I mean, possibly revised algorithms (which we'll get on the Z1/Z1 Compact) but no actual difference on the optics side?

When I had my interview, the head of Sony Mobile Europe just talked about the improved camera in terms of new features - 4K, timeshift video, AR video etc.. and certainly wouldn't say anything about it taking better pictures.

I am wondering how much will spread online about the camera being 'better' based on misunderstandings, which Sony probably won't be rushing to correct.

Personally, given how good we know the camera is in manual mode, and some of the other 'plug-ins' I am neither expecting, or hoping, for massive improvements. But of course if the auto mode has been improved, that's great - but I somehow doubt it. I just feel that Sony has decided to play safe in auto mode, which means stupidly high ISO levels in most cases that ruins the overall picture - but prevents people from getting excessively dark results (it's all about low-light performance after all!).

I guess one possible improvement is a better LED flash. Has anyone compared these yet?
[Xperia Z1 General] Publicglutton:
I heard in a hands on video with "Pocketnow" that the camera has a slightly larger sensor than the Z1 for improved images ;)

Update:It's actually the front facing camera that has an improved sensor size: 2.0 to 2.2 megapixel

[Xperia Z1 General] ThibaultAnd:
Unless you use it as a professional phone,why don't you want to root it ?

I mean I would understand if you don't want to unlock your bootloader (I personally don't want to) as you would loose your warranty (if you don't backup your drm keys) + some Sony's functionalities but you won't loose anything when you root your phone :)

Well first is dloading of the tft file, we have a slow Internet connection here in our house ao it's kind of annoying that it'll take a lot of time to dload the file. Secondly I'm just afraid that something might go wrong once I'm on the process of rooting it (though I root my acro S before but the method was very simple). The warranty isn't an issue anymore as this didn't come with a Sony warranty.
[Xperia Z1 General] funky0308:
If you follow instructions, very careful, you will be fine.

But...

I totally understand you and I think you are right.

Rooting Z1, especially firmware 136 isn't easy as XS or other older devices and many things could go wrong.

---------- Post added at 01:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:53 PM ----------

I noticed one thing on my Z1 and now I see that on Z2 in KitKat too.

Some app that I open and use doesn't stay in memory, when I hit "recents", sometimes there's no apps there and they should be there.

Most commonly that happens with Tapatalk and Gmail but I see, on this video that same things happening with Movies, Album and Gmail....

Someone, maybe, knows something about that?

When I check free memory, I "always" have at least 350-550MB so RAM isn't problem.
[Xperia Z1 General] Ben Ling:
When i exit an app by using home/back button,and press recents app,sometimes it don't show,but press 2nd time it will show.

Do you mean this ?

Or it won't show at all ?
[Xperia Z1 General] funky0308:
Nope, it just disappear, like it wasn't even opened.

In 99.9% Tapatalk disappear, other apps are, mostly, o.k

Adreno 330 and still 4.86" physical size...
[Xperia Z1 General] TheKingOfPain:
So, basically hardware-wise it's a Z1 with a sligthly bigger screen, a slightly enhanced version of Z1's chipset but still not clocked to its limits and the 578MHz version of Adreno 330. Oh, I almost forgot 3 GB RAM on a faster BUS. I hope for a 3400 mAh battery, but I already know I'm asking too much.

Serious question: are 3GBs of RAM really useful on a KitKat device?
[Xperia Z1 General] Avantiel:
Nothing about this screams Z2.

Like seriously, what is different and impressive about this to be considered a flagship? Just about everything with this device is the same as the Z1.

Look at the differences with the Z1 and the Z. Totally different Cpu, totally different camera, much improved battery life. This shows me nothing like that. I say Z1L or some sort of Z1 variant, but This definitely isn't the Z2.

It's a shame gsmarena is posting this rumour and hyping it up as the z2. hell I just got my z1 last month. Would be a shame if Sony can't release other phones except flagships.
[Xperia Z1 General] funky0308:

[Xperia Z1 General] funky0308:
Don't know, I can see only screenshots, just like you but I'm guessing it's something similar to Xposed module like Gravity, you can, probably, hide some icons you don't need on status bar...

It's gonna be great if we get that option for Z1.

And I really hope we'll finally get navigation bar options (size, icons and transparency)

We had Honami framework and files months earlier than Sony released Z1...

I'm glad to hear DoomLord and iRimas are going to reveal some more. What I'm looking for is a better battery management (or, at least, a bigger one), a better speaker and a IPS screen. Software-wise, I understand Sony is fond of what we consumers care about, I really hope they'll refine their work with this new piece of tech.
[Xperia Z1 General] DooMLoRD:
there are MUCH BETTER things to look out for...

seems to be an IPS display...

same as Z1... no new wallpapers...

though the new bootanimation is AWESOME!

true that...

I have a feeling that in another 30-40 mins the device will be "unofficially announced"...

because there is also a MMC card slot... why just 32GB when u can have 16GB + whatever u want :)

no new themes... all the same as the usual 4.3 Z1 firmware

i dont think this is the flagship... this is a variant... flagship will be better!

but this has flagship features... you will see soon :D

something new is coming for speakers... new for Sony... first time in any Sony Xperia phone..

screen is also good from what i hear...
[Xperia Z1 General] iRimas:

I should know how to do this but I can't seem to get it to work.

I would like to reboot into recovery so I can flash updates.

I have CM 10.2 EMMC installed (with CWM) and it seems to be working fine.

However, when I try to reboot into recovery, it just does a normal reboot.

Even when I use the cwm auto update, it doesnt work.

I tried pressing the home and power button but that doesnt seem to work either.

Did I install it wrong?
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
Maybe.

How are you rebooting to recovery? With the power off menu?

The quickboot app does not work for booting to recovery. But "Reboot to recovery" by wikilabs in Play Store is sure fire. If that does not do it, you have installed recovery wrong.

It says do not flash an ml1 firmware package. He says specifically to flash the latest mf1 firmware package, then flash the ml1 radio only. It's a little confusing, so make sure you understand it before you flash anything.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RBarnett09:
So right now I'm rooted with BMB1.

Basically flash the MF1 radio and then flash the ML1 radio, rather than just jumping from BMB1 straight into ML1?

Sorry man, I'm just still confused on what it's saying.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RBarnett09:
This is my comprehension...

I'm on MB1 still.

So I must go here and flash MF1 for D2VZW:

Then go here: http://invisiblek.org/sch-i535/modems/d2vzw_ML1_modem.zip

and the ML1 radio should start downloading... then flash it?

Both of these are good to flash in recovery without any wipes.
