thanks! wil flash singtel sg ftf to update

thought generic sg wil out 1st, so flashed it 2 days ago. ahh!
[Xperia Z1 General] zegun:
Indonesia here, and we havent (or maybe simply "I") recieved the update yet

checked through SUS and PCC both said none

OTA is helpless here so i dont bother checking it

that's a bug not everyone experiences, and can be fixed

i had that bug when i first installed .290

i managed to fix it by repairing the FW again through PCC, though it wiped all my settings, contacts and message datas, so mind you -- backup your contacts first
[Xperia Z1 General] hush66:
Do share the FTF file if you can. :)

What will happen to the phone if the downloading of the software via SUS isn't successful (downloading part yet, not the updating)? Is there anythig bad that might happen on the phone?
[Xperia Z1 General] zigory:
No, firstly SUS is downloading FW (so u can even unplug your phone from USB cable), then SUS shows how to turn flashmode. During and after this part u can't unplug your phone.

There's no risk of the data corruption, it's always checked with hash.
[Xperia Z1 General] Rui Oliveira 21:
UK phones such as mine received the previous update in last place, according to its serial number lot, I'll try SUS to cut some time :p
[Xperia Z1 General] ermond012:
That's what I was thinking since SUS is just dloading yet the software. Having said that dloading of the update is interrupted, now SUS cannot detect my phone. Always prompting me with "Failed to identify". Already tried restarting the laptop but still the same. Any idea why? I've been updating my phone since 13:00 Philippine Time but this is just what I'm getting and worst it isn't finished yet.:crying:
[Xperia Z1 General] zigory:
Is your phone working?

If yes it may be SUS bug. Try update trough PCC or on the other PC

If no:

Try flash FTF from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2469191 using Flashtool. It's safe (just carefully read instructions) and unlocking is not needed.

[Xperia Z1 General] MohammadAG:
I seem to be having a bug. Confirmation would be nice.

I upgraded to 136, and today I used my AKG K518 headphones. I'm very picky about sound quality (not an audiophile that buys the highest tier equipment though).

Anyway, I noticed sound quality was a bit bad, and then I noticed that highs are in songs are lowered a bit. Dynamic Normalizer comes to mind, but it's off. Anyway, it seems like Sound Enhancements are stuck on certain values. DN seems to be always on for me, ClearAudio doesn't make a difference, and the whole equilizer seems shot.

with C6903 global LTE

i got cannot identify through SUS

and PCC is saying cannot download firmware update for ur phone (it means pcc notify me about update but cannot download it.)

i think these error means little problem in Sony servers today

not all server maybe some server that cover few region.

for example i m in middle east 1277-2880_R4A

keep calm and try tomorrow ;)

[Xperia Z1 General] zegun:
exact same problem here in indonesian region

SUS couldnt detect the phone (detectable yesterday when the update hasnt arrived yet) and PCC couldnt download the update..

[Xperia Z1 General] Geoffxx:
yes there seems to be a problem with the download servers - I now have the update notification but it fails during the download so Sony has an issue
[Xperia Z1 General] :
There s also problem when try to refresh update center for OTA through phone.

it cannot load update information.

and Finally i got this error from PCC;

and this says everything ;)

Guess some are really having problems in updating via SUS and PCC. "Server not accessible" on PCC for number of months now and just got the prompt "Failed to detect product" on SUS last night when downloading of SF suddenly interrupted. Software dowload was around 680+MB then suddenly rompted me with an error then when I tried to reconnect the phone again that prompt to show even until now. I'm now stuck at .290.:(
[Xperia Z1 General] bruno_sbrn:
I know that, but if I just flash this ftf with flashtool, it works?
[Xperia Z1 General] LeTo08:
Hi guys, thank you all for report New update and info about this release.

I have tried on PCC but can't connect to Server so i tried SUS and i succes update to.136 (from.290). :o

It download 870 Mo :eek: so i think It was a Full Rom and not only an update. But i'm wrong because i loose nothing and It is really Just an update :good:

So now, i'm like you all, excited to wait 4.4

Thank you again all and sorry for my english.
[Xperia Z1 General] :

[Xperia Z1 General] ermond012:
Is there really a moment in dloading the software slow? When I reach 500mb the dload slows down. Before that it was fast. No problems in browsing websites. just the dload speed.

Well, I really need this "sms_length_savings_due_to_national_characters_conversion" option in my messaging app but naturally I would like to have my rooted .136 too.

I could return back to stock Central Europe .290, extract this component, then return to your rooted .136 and install it back. I could have both needed things (long sms and root) this way.

It pribably sounds stupid,but what does SUS and PCC mean? o.O

Still have no update
[Xperia Z1 General] zigory:
These are Sony apps to manage data in your phone (contacts, fw updates, music etc.)

SUS means Sony Update Service (http://www.sonymobile.com/tools/update-service/)

PCC means (Sony) PC Companion (http://www.sonymobile.com/tools/pc-companion/) (instalation file for this app is also included in your phone when u have checked proper option in Android connection settings)
[Xperia Z1 General] MakaMika:
So basically I should install them on my PC?both of them? And what exactly should I change in the connection settings?
[Xperia Z1 General] zigory:
You can install PCC only. I recommend install fresh package from Sony site, but if you want to install PCC from phone you have to go:

Android Settings>Xperia Connectivity>USB Connectivity and check Install Software.

SUS is separated app to update Sony/SonyEricsson devices, but PCC has also Update Service (without phone selector)

Is there a way to download the update from elsewhere?I still dont have it available for my phone!

Do you have the yellow hue screen issue? I'm really hoping the white balance app helps mine as the yellowish hue on my screen is really annoying.
[Xperia Z1 General] TheCraig:
Never had an issue with whites. But the White balance app will definitely help. It will probably take you a while to find the settings you like but it allows you to adjust the whites to whatever you like. It's possible to find the perfect white balance.

I recommend you guys flash this if you are getting any white problems with the screen, I had my doubts if it would actually brick my phone or not as other people have bricked their phones from flashing a ftf before but SirRobin78 did it all right and the FTF will work. I didn't exclude anything, I left the options as they were, but I unchecked Wipe Data because I have 9GB worth of apps (games, etc) and I'm not prepared to download them all again. otherwise app_logs and whatever the other option is should be checked to wipe.

https://mega.co.nz/#!88Jz1SxQ!vNm8i85rwRNKLnZ0PMsg78BxOUSpvBSB9Ki9cAiMrRg - white-balance.apk I pulled using adb.
