By the way, it is not just the sony sound enhancements that are broken. Noozyxoide (that I recommand) does no more work, in walkman or anywhere else :(. The only thing that does work for me is, like everybody, sony sound parameters in walkman.

Considering that all enhancements are bypassed except those of sony in their (pitiful) music app, I do think that it is intentionnal...

Hi - I can understand your problem though I do not have that problem. I just wanted to know what apps do you use where this feels such a PITA? Is it all the apps or only some specific apps? Just curious to know.

If there is a corrupt file, this happens. Just make sure all the other folders except the music folder have a .nomedia file in it. There are threas on XDA on how to fix this. Pls search.

I went thru the thread. I am not sure if this is in any way related but I see a lot of problems for guys who have flashed or updated via OTA. I know a couple of guys who have updated thru PCC (So we get the entire 800mb or so file) and I have updated thrice without a single problem. Ofcourse, I am also not rooted. I have about 200+ apps..

Also others; mileage may vary even with updates thru PCC. I am just giving my opinion..

This update bricked my phone.

I came from .290 all factory, and has been factory since ive owned it.

Any advice? All it does is show a dim red light then turn green and go off and its dead till i replug the power. I'm using a 2.1 amp ipad charger to over juice it hoping it helps.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT

After a few minutes the phone sprang to life while I was looking for ways to fix it. I have no idea what happened with it. I guess you all should update at your own risk? Thanks SONY.

I have got this problem on CyanogenMod, so it is probably hardware related, not software. Sometimes touch screen stops working until I stop touching it and I have to touch it again to start working properly, if that is what you mean
[Xperia Z1 General] chunlianghere:
since u on cyanogenmod, can i check tat in System\usr\idc, are there 2 of these files -> clearpad_pen.idc and clearpad.idc ? if so, are there similar to the one on stock?
[Xperia Z1 General] gallardo5:
Here are screenshots of those files, but I'm out of my PC and WiFi for a while so I'm unable to download any Sony based ROM, so if you could, compare them to yours files if you are on stock

Tried to get some equalizer functionality with an app but that didn't work either. Looks like only Walkman has clearance to modify the sound variables.

If this is intentional it's disgusting. Wtf were they thinking!?
[Xperia Z1 General] limiter121:
It seems that they are aware of the sound equalizer issue (at least on the Z1 Compact, but should be the same on the Z1) and it will be fixed in the next update which should arrive in 1-2 months (according to what the Sony Support guy says here).

[Xperia Z1 General] djg269:
So what is your opinion about the update? Take it or wait for KK?

I'm on rooted en unlocked .290 and have no complaints other than the known issues and was wondering if its worth to update.

Please let me know.

Another question: is the update via PCC a full wipe?

TIA
[Xperia Z1 General] BreakShadow:
Update via PCC is a full wipe.

There are sound enhancement issues for others after the update.

For me, the network strength is TERRIBLE and bluetooth mic quality issues, the volume has gone down significantly on bluetooth headset mics. I've tried two other than my own after my friends started complaining that they couldn't hear me properly over my MW600.

Wait for KK. The White Balance app solved my yellow hue issues though on this update but what's the point of a better display if it is unusable due to dropped calls and network every 15 minutes while using. The network issues for me don't occur when I'm not using my phone strangely.

i might suspect that additional "Touch Filter" code could cause the touchscreen problem.

what i m testing now is on "clearpad.idc", i delete all the code on "# Touch Filter"

than for "clearpad_pen.idc", i delete it.

So how is it now? Is it better?
[Xperia Z1 General] Steve_max:
I must say that my experience doesn't match what people are reporting here. My battery life has increased from 4-5 hours of screen on to nearly 6 hours. No problems with Wi-Fi or 3G/talk. My white balance was already adjusted on the previous firmware, so no changes there. I was suffering from constant stuttering on .290, which is 100% gone on .136. The touchscreen issues seem to have improved, also.

Maybe I'm one of the lucky few. Maybe some people here didn't get lucky. But IMHO, if all the problems mentioned were widespread, you'd be reading about them on Engadget & etc. I assume some people are having issues, but I believe that's an unlucky minority. I was part of the unlucky minority on .290 (the constant stuttering was driving me crazy), BTW; but I still recommend upgrading. Make a nandroid backup and go for it; the worst thing that could happen is that you'll have to factory reset, root again, install a recovery and restore your backup, which is an afternoon's work at most.
[Xperia Z1 General] ArGinTTT:
Same for me, my phone work good, without any problems....sorry for the rest of you....
[Xperia Z1 General] mcthe1:
You all lucky but what is the battery time
[Xperia Z1 General] slayer2333:
Battery time for is is already 6hrs and 30min with screen ON in. 290. Using only stamina mode with moderate usage. So I guess you're back to normal in the latest firmware ;)
[Xperia Z1 General] transitcheck:
It's been almost thirty hours since I updated. My battery is at %23 and 15 hours without stamina mode. I played battery draining games, talked, used internet, downloaded stuff, watched videos and used AirDroid to transfer big files over wifi which took about 10% of my battery. I also use Rock On theme. I see no bug except the one throwing you out when you try to change settings in sound improvements. It's still there and not a big deal for me.

My wifi range significantly increased about 20-30%. I'm getting the signals I couldn't before. I've never reset my phone since I bought it. I took three firmware and one OS update and I believe it would have more stable if I reset my phone.

My biggest issue is the camera. SuperAuto should able to take 20mp or at least 13mp photos. I can't use manual shot everytime. Phones usually for instant shots. I need to capture moment. Manual shot requires knowledge and experience and time. But it's great. I took awesome photos with it.

You shouldn't complain about bugs if you root your phones and using custom roms. Firmwares are specifically made for the one particular device and its software.

An anecdot: A friend having Xperia Z rooted his phone put Z1 rom inside. He says it's much better and stable than Z rom. Take that.

If you wanted top stock sound both via speakers / headphones you should've went for htc one not z1, if you root your options are much greater with sound mods from zero infinity or v4a...

If you wanted fast / safe / and actually real updates that actually do improve phone instead of breaking it you should've went again with the HTC One. Htc one had 4.3 way back in July Lol and kitkat 4.4 in November and kitkat 4.4.2 at the middle of January.
[Xperia Z1 General] ed213:
i bought z1 cos it has the better camera and the xloud, and other sound effects, they are written in the official specs, and i bought it, and they have been working till the last update. dont see anything related to HTC or other phones at all.

You're right there's nothing related to htc one but you mentioned sound / updates, all I did is pointed in the right direction.

Just don't use new firmware if you aren't satisfied with it.

I'm not and I'm using 290.

I tried for a few days and I saw it's not that good, 290 is ten times better (for me, of course).

My battery is holding for a 1,5-2 days, no yellow screen, touchscreen is working perfectly just like everything else...

On the other hand, 136 wasn't bad but it wasn't better and I decided to stay on 290 for now...

We'll get new update, probably Kitkat, soon and that's O.K.

I really don't give a da*m which software is on as long as I'm satisfied with performance...

the new firmware update changelog didn't include "breaking the shipped sound effects"...else i wouldn't have upgraded, and flashing back an earlier FW might wipe my app settings and game saves, which, is not user-friendly for average users like me at all.

all i wanna say is that to ensure a FW update going smooth, without breaking any features on the phone, is a sole responsibility of the manufacturer, and when sh*ts happen please don't blame on users with reasons like "you could flash an earlier FW..." imho

Wtf bad bad updates... fix it Sony..

Wtf... Chrome black screen when multytasking.

When on the phone the screen lags big time up to 10 sec.. If you want to look at your screen (while on the phone calling) it stays black.. Really annoying.. Really poor and I mean extremely poor signal.. Only 1 bar and most of the times not even that. Apps crash more frequently... And the camera is rubbish... The strange thing is. It looks like this phone is getting worse every update.. And it makes me sad. The first week I had it it was great.. 16/09/2013 that was..so let them please update to 4.4 and now without al the real annoying bugs.

[Xperia Z1 General] user1t1:
bugs from latest firmware

Ok so here is my list of bugs from the latest 136 firmware

1. Proximity sensor slower

2. Editing tool in album bug. (crop a picture then adjust sharpness. Picture will become zig zagged)

3. Surprisingly, there is more free ram but multi tasking got a step down. In the previous version, i can play pet alliance, asphalt, and surfing at the same time. Now, after 30 mins of doing one of them, when i switch to another app, it will restart. But i have 600 free ram.. This must have somethibg to do with the overheating issue which forces the system to close other apps.

4. More overheating as with relation to my 3rd problem which leads to poor multi tasking.

5. Certain games now has a micro lag sometimes. It used to be flawless on previous version

6. Occassional scrolling lag on ics stock browser.

7. Weak external volume (same with previous version)

8. Small apps browser is back but not working

Improvements:

1. Battery life slightly improved. I get an extra 15-30 mins on continuous gaming.

2. White balance fix included

Hey.

I got the dreaded GSM bug on my E (running CM10). The battery was down to 7%, and I was being told to sleep. I did the foolish thing and turned it off, hoping I'd turn it on tomorrow and flash stock. Next morning, the phone didn't turn on; the red light issue. I managed to turn it on, but soon as it turned on, it complained about lack of battery and turned off - the battery symbol didn't say that it was charging, it just showed an exclamation mark. When the phone turned off, it didn't turn on; I never even got the red light back.

It's charging right now (or so I hope) with a 2A Nexus 7 charger and Sony's stock USB cable. Even after charging for about two hours, it still doesn't get a red light. I can't take it to Sony cause it has CM10 and I can't flash stock as I can't get it into Flashmode.

Help me? Please?
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Deleted member 5439257:
Do you have an external charger? Probably not but it is your only shot! Or you need to find another Xperia E and charge your battery in that E. There is not much left you can try. Sorry.

Have you tried to plug it in your your PC? You never know...

This just pops up in my head: if you have enough micro USB cables, try to cut one open very delicate with a sharp knife.

Then try to insert them in your USB port to create voltage. This can't be stopped by the phone, it's a fully automatic process. Perhaps you can find a tutorial or so on the world wide web? Or do you have a very technical friend?

These are my suggestions. Can't think of anything else :(. Sorry.

Have a nice day and good luck!

Thanks. No external charger, plugging it into the laptop didn't do anything last night, my mother would kill me if I put a cut-open cable in my phone, can't find anything on the WWW, and I am the techinal one in my group of friends.

[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] KDB223:
Try using one of those 'universal chargers'. They're really cheap, and availability shouldn't be a problem when you're in Delhi. But those are supposed to be kind of dangerous-might fry your battery. But then , it could give your battery just enough juice it needs to enter flashmode!
