Source - http://www.xperiaguide.com/2014/03/19/xperia-z1-compact-14-3-0-681-firmware-kitkat-android-4-4-2-update-rolling/

What is new in this Android 4.4.2 KitKat update as per Sony ?

New Xperia KitKat UI as per Google’s android 4.4.2 KitKat OS.

Tweaked status bar and quick settings options. 2 Tabs notification panel included.

New UI for Sony Playstation 4. New animation and live wallpapers for lockscreen and homescreen.

New Sony Media apps including Walkman, Album, Movies.

Sony’s native stock apps updated like Message app, Call app, TrackID, TackID TV, MyXperia, SmartConnect and small apps.

New Xperia downloadable themes included.

As per the changelog provided by Sony it is clear that there is No 4K cam app, No TimeShift Video app, No Smart Call Handling app, No Smart Backlight Control, No Glove Mode, No Tap to Wake up feature. - IT was all pre known so not at all disappointed, Why they should give these features to Z1 so soon, it's not longer a flagship.

Official announcement by Sony Mobile here http://blogs.sonymobile.com/2014/03/19/new-sony-software-upgrade-including-android-4-4-kitkat-rolls-for-xperia-z-ultra-xperia-z1-and-xperia-z1-compact/

Any Z1 Compact owner here, wanted to ask a few things I have been reading about

1. Are you facing Flash Bleed issue in low light

2. Can you write to microSD after 4.4 update from inside phone (say using ES file explorer)

3. After 4.4 update, is it true that Z2 camera addons dont work anymore (like Background Defocus and some others)

4. Any case of overheating ?

Also, are you guys facing any issues of lag, slowdowns, stutters or anything, both in JB 4.3 and KK 4.4.

Any other issues faced, please mention.

a normal glass with shatter proof film on it?

Does anyone purchased original screen protector film from Sony ?

Is it available?

Its accepted that they use drangontail glass but they don't confirm it. Its similar to gorrila glass. Yes there is a shatter proof film on the screen. Its shatterproof but gets scratched really easily.

Hopefully not bumping the thread, but I just got a Z1 Compact in India from Flipkart, and it has the LTE band option in network selection mode. As far as I know, Indian models do not have LTE band and even Flipkart doesn't mention LTE in it's specification. So is the phone I got of India, or is it imported? I want to get this clarified since there should not be any Warranty issues in future. Going to call Flipkart too now.

Edit: It also has this Fifa World cup Brasil logo as shown here.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] corvintheus:
In india u have LTE option in few cities,but Im not sure of the bandwith(Our phone doesnt is not compatible with all frequnecies ) .Wait for another 6 months u should be able to use 4g LTE on ur phone in India.Bhai abhi 7k mein LTE models mil rahe hain
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] pathaniya:
3g theek se nahi chalta yaar, 4g ka kya karenge. But Z1c is compatible and whenever, wherever 4g comes it'll work. And it's official Indian release specially if it's been bought from Flip*art ! Welcome to the club.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Mirhawk:
True that, but My concern is not about the LTE signal, but rather if the phone should have this option, so as not to have warranty problems in future.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] pathaniya:
no warranty problems as per my knowledge.

[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Mirhawk:
Yes but there are no methods to root with locked bootloader for Lollipop firmware as of now. Does Your method work for locked bootloader?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] pathaniya:
good question, is your bootloader unlocked? and btw, there is no Indian FTF in the forum. am waiting for it. Or debloated flashable stock rom.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] sajitharsan:
My bootloader is locked, i never unlocked. Flashing ftf in flash tool doesn't void your warranty. You can flash with locked bootloader. I'm still locked and rooted.

I made it with Indian firmware I'll try to upload but my network its too slow that's the problem and I'm in locked bootloader.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Mirhawk:
Okay.

I have been uploading one, will be done by night. Will post the link here after done.

Edit: Here is the link to ftf.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] pathaniya:
Is this pre-rooted with recovery?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Mirhawk:
No, it is stock one, but will be updating one with pre-rooted soon.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] pathaniya:
Thanks, let us know that, when ever you do that. Custom ROM ruin the Camera 's potential and non-rooted stock ROM ruin the handsets potential. classic Catch 22.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Mirhawk:
Yeah, even though I have just brought the phone, needed to root it for various purposes!

Anyways, here is the link to PRF. I have created it using the firmware from previous post, the recovery being locked bootloader XZDualRecovery version 2.8.12 from here thanks to [MENTION=410007]Nut[/MENTION] and root by SuperSU v2.46 thanks to [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION]. Obviously You need a recovery for it, and as always, backup before You flash. Am working on a bloatware removal script, will update that too soon.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] pathaniya:
PRF = Pre Rooted Firmware right? This one is pre-rooted right?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Mirhawk:
Yup, You can find more details here.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] pathaniya:
And sorry to ask you again, but this PRF is for locked bootloader?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Mirhawk:
Yeah, since You do not unlock bootloader at any point. Still, taking backup wouldn't hurt!
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] pathaniya:
Btw, i followed this guide in daze :p

http://xdaforums.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/general/trick-rooting-stock-lollipop-14-5-0-242-t3085888

It worked though. But it wipes out your internal drive/storage. And in daze i forgot :cyclops:

[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Mirhawk:
Ah yes, but My method doesn't require unlocked bootloader. Happens with most of us, hope You didn't loose important data or had a backup!
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] pathaniya:
Yes. Your method is better, unlocking boot loader hampers performance of stock, e.g. Audio jitters sometimes. I lost some of it. But it's OK.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] getvaisakh:
Now I know why I have those jitters.. Thanks. I wanted to try the above method as locked bootloader not have this issue.. I tried to restore TA but end up with softbrick :D

Then I opened flashtool and selected lollipop ftf and selected Bootbundle, patition, ta, kernel and unchecked data ( i dont want to loose those :P ). Flashed.

When I check the service menu, I can see that my bootloader is locked again.. (Boot loader Unlock allowed:YES)

Let me see if that audio problem is rectified .. Btw I still have root.

Thanks again
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] pathaniya:
Haha! Smart guy you are. Audio Jitters probably could be rectified by custom kernel, probably, not sure, though I've tried that on my X10i but no success. Boot loader unlocked ain't cool.

Hi guys, after uodating to lollipop i am facing some battery issue.. Battery sometimes drop from 90% to 75% or simply 15/20% to 1%.. in kitkat I never faced it.. So anyone facing this issue on lollipop or I am having thr bad luck?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] pathaniya:
No, not here, it's pretty stable here, probably some third party app, messing it up. Try some battery calibration app from play store.

I downloaded the firmware with xperifirm, prerooted it with PRF and adding supersu and twrp at the same time. Then, flashed that firmware.

With pre-rooted i meant that the ftf was rooted at the moment of flashing.

Not much better compared to the z1c.

[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Funkym0nkey:
1. I had flash bleed issue with the free case Sony is providing. The flash was bouncing off the camera cutout and entering the lens. No bleed after I changed the case.

2. This is KitKat restrictions. Only Google apps and the apps pre installed by oems can write to the external sd unless oem makes needed changes like Samsung has done.

Sony bundles File Commander which can write to the external sd. Other file explorers can't. Not without root and fix.

3. Not all Z2 camera features made it to the Z1c which is sad really. No additional functionality. Camera remains same as jelly bean as far as functionality is concerned.

No overheating. But lots of bugs with KitKat if you just upgrade from jelly bean. Factory reset after KitKat install solved major issues I was having.

Sony launcher is not great. Animations are not as smooth as say nexus 5 or Moto X. I changed to nova launcher which is butter smooth. Sadly we lose some Sony widgets whoever we change the launcher. But I would rather have that. Nexus 5 and Moto X has spoiled me.

From my Xperia Z1 Compact, in your face!
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] ts1506:
That SD card restriction is bugging me.

I am trying to choose between a Nexus 5 and Z1 compact, and one of the bigger pros of Z1c is the sd card, having limited access to it without rooting is kinda crap for me.

I think I'll just grab the N5 instead.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Funkym0nkey:
You can still have all your media on sd card. All stock apps have access to it. Camera can save to sd card. And File Commander bundled with the phone is competent file manager. I use that to move anything between internal and external memory. When connected to pc, no restrictions.

Only 3rd party apps cannot write to it. All apps can read from sd card..

From my Xperia Z1 Compact, in your face!
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] ts1506:
Since you have both Z1c and Nexus 5, how much better is Z1c's camera over N5 ?

And what about the difference in performance of these two.
