I got this phone for the camera. The update is alleged to fix a few issues there and maybe even add features that should have been there from the start.

KitKat has been around for quite a while now. This is a fairly top-tiered device, so the fact that it hasn't seen this update is justifiably upsetting. There are quite a few excellent integrated features in KK that I sorely miss since trading up my Nexus 5 for this. It stings to know that there is another device made by Sony with the same hardware that has an unlockable bootloader and decent update history.

It does no one any good to continue to defend the basic failure that is the software development history of this device. People should be pissed that other devices in the same family have received much more attention simply because sales. This is my first Sony Android device, and I had the highest hopes that it would exceed my expectations not only with the hardware and build quality but also with software and support. How disappointing this is for many of us.

You know what they say, though. Opinions are like a**holes--everybody is one.
[Xperia Z1 General] Chadneu:
I'm not defending T-mobile or Sony on this. I can sympathize with them however because I understand the process of testing/quality control. It is taking quite a long time.

I'm pointing out how childish people are being about their complaints. It does no good to come on here threatening to sell your phone because you haven't gotten an update yet. Big difference.

Anyway this thread is about updates on Kitkat on our device so I'll just knock it off. I guess you like reading childishly worded complaints.
[Xperia Z1 General] LaosPerson:
same here... i was hoping to get an official kitkat update 2-3 months later but no avail, i got rid of my galaxy note for this phone even though it was fully capable of running kitkat via custom rom, but it had camera issues, then as soon as 2 months later after u got this phone, i got bored and decided to browse the forums for good old note, and there i read they fixed the camera issues :/
[Xperia Z1 General] lsmaverick31:

Well this is a bit depressing. July ends tomorrow and no update in sight. Here's to hoping it comes in August!
[Xperia Z1 General] mchlbenner:
I hope you like your z1s with 4.3 I really don't believe that tmobile is going to update it.

Sony keep certified updates to tmobile and they keep rejecteing them.
[Xperia Z1 General] lsmaverick31:
I still believe tmobile will update it, but I'm almost certain it'll be the last upgrade the phone will get.
[Xperia Z1 General] Kanes_Inferno:
Such a shame, too. One update on a phone like this? It should at least get two big updates.
[Xperia Z1 General] scoobdude:
And with the rumored z3 making it to T-Mobile on launch day.... I am glad I have jump. But this phone has been rock solid for me. Well minus the inability to control the ultra bright notification light at night...
[Xperia Z1 General] lsmaverick31:
Agreed. Especially given how they treated the phone like a flagship at launch. It was featured on their front page, the stores had big displays demonstrating its "waterproofedness," etc. And at the time, it really was the best Android phone you could buy on tmobile. I still love the phone, but I think I learned the lesson of never buying a carrier exclusive again.
[Xperia Z1 General] Kanes_Inferno:
I've always went with carrier phones due to not having to pay for the phone up front...but next time I might just save up and buy a non branded phone.
[Xperia Z1 General] lsmaverick31:
False Alarm

By the way, was I the only one who got SUPER excited when I saw the little update icon in the notification bar this morning? I was so disappointed when I swiped down only to find out it was Movie Creator.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] lozzd:
Hello,

I have an O2 XDA Mini S (without the Active thingy) that ive had for a month or two. Recently, every time I ActiveSync and disconnect, I have to turn the phone off and then on again because it slows to a crawl. This is really, really, really annoying me now. It puts me off bothering syncing or installing anything because it seems every time I do it it gets more broken!

Any tips? Ideas? I didn't bother ugprading to the new ROM as I was told if I'm not interested in the exchange features it doesn't make any difference. Is that true?

If the ROM upgrade is useful, what is involved in the upgrade? Do I literally just install it and then everything is the same or does it reset it back/uninstall stuff/install new stuff?

Thanks very much!

Laurie
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] meschle:
Yes i use it to a limited amount because my perception is that it slows my device too.

tips

1. Only activesync when absolutely necessary - i use wm5torage at other times to transfer files. see here http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=45411&start=25

2. Go to activesync\options and delete the computer that it is synced too - its the only way i have figured out to stop activesync keep coming back into memory in the background.

3. Upgrade to aku2 rom and make sure you are using activesync 4.2 beta.

http://xda.o2.co.uk/downloads/Xda_Minis_Upgrade_v2.21.4.101.exe

The rom upgrade will reset your device so you need to backup all the things on the device you want to keep - contacts etc are in pim.vol on root of device.

If you dont want all the o2 extras during the install do a soft reset before the o2 stuff installs (most report a quicker device)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] lozzd:
Thanks very much for your reply, I'll give it a go!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] wilesd:
This was a problem with the last ROM, upgrade to the new one ASAP. device runs a whole lot better (can't even remember last time I soft reset mine) and Activesync works perfectly

I had the same problem.. I updated the rom and now I have almost 30 days without need for reset !

My problem is that otg doesn't work anymore.

Just a few days before all worked fine.

I was able to connect flash drives keybords and so on.

I haven't changed or updated anything, maybe there was an atomatic update of something.

I used several diagnostic apps to find the problem, but I still don't get whats wrong.

On my phone (SGS3) it works still fine with same devices and same otg cabel.

I tried two other OTG Cabels but with no sucess on the tablet (working both fine on phone).

Hi guys,

I current have a iPad mini retina. I love the tablet but it's not very functional and for $400, I would like something a little more useful to me. I am looking at the note 10.1; I have a Note 3 and I love it. I was wondering what the reading experience is like on this tablet. I read books and magazines quite a lot on my iPad and I really enjoy the experience. I just want to know if the note is too tall and narrow or really just too big overall. I'm really looking for a note 8 2 I guess but if they aren't coming out with that, a 10.1 might have to fit the bill.

Thanks

its quite sharp & crisp in reading. I prefer reading in landscape mode. Smooth, no lag in foxit pdf/adobe reader. Web browser is UC browser, thats fast & smooth for reading.

Can use reading mode which optimizes screen contrast but available in default apps. Night modes are also well lucid.

Try out some where for demo if you want to compare or feel it personally.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] krotwijk:
reading mode

Reading mode is available in all apps you define!

It's not only active on default samsung apps.

The ipad is better for reading, because the 4:3 screen format is more like a real book.

Reading comics fills the whole screen on the ipad.

On the otherway pdf is more handy on the note, because options can be displayed in portrait mode above and below the pdf without shrinking the pdf.

Also does Reading mode consumes more battery?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Duly.noted:
Actually that is incorrect. 16:10 is closer to almost every major book, magazine, and movie format than 4:3 is. Among the 10 most common book and magazine sizes 16:10 is closer to 6 of 10 than the ipad and with the exception of 2 the advantages of the ipad on the other 4 are minimal. The 6 the 16:10 is closer to are also the most common. After checking the Standard Comic book size (1:1.547) this is also Closer to 16:10 (10:16 or 1:16) than 4:3 (3:4 or 1:1.33). 4:3 is better for absolutely NOTHING besides old classic movies. That is it's one and only advantage. Ever period. it is outdated and we need to stop spreading this falsehood.

Hey guys,

I have an i9300, rooted with slimbeam installed. A few days ago I dropped my phone and the screen cracked and the display disappeared; so I got it replaced. When I turned my phone on again, it was stuck on the boot screen. So I fully wiped my phone and flashed slimbean again (as I already had the file on my external SD card). This got me passed the boot screen and my phone is working fine except it seems like I don't have proper root access. I downloaded a root checker and thats the message I got "Does not have proper root access" and when I run superSU it said "the su binary needs to be updated" so I click on update and I get a message saying " install failed. Reboot and try again" I reboot and tried again and same error :(

Anyone know what my best course of action would be?

Or you could just go to the store and get a new SIM.

My One (got it from Best Buy in the fall) wasn't updating, no matter what I tried (factory reset, changing the date, re-locking my bootloader). I read on another forum about someone getting a new SIM. When I went to the AT&T store this morning, I told them that I called Tech Support and they told me to come in and get a new SIM. They switched it out, no problem. The funny thing was, the guy remarked that my SIM (from Best Buy) looked a little different. Sure enough, I could tell it was colored a little different.

I get home and the OTA started downloading the second I connected to my WiFi (battery has to be over 50% - mine was around 90% due to just coming off car charger).

I'd go the new SIM route first, just to save yourself the hassle of reloading/reinstalling everything on your phone.

It is made for Cisco console ports. My problem though is that I so far haven't truly figured out how to get the MDA to use com-port 1 mode on the mini-USB connector. Again I have searched everywhere for any info on this but it must be a secret. I am planning on using a terminal program called PowerTerm Mobile which looks great, but again, I haven't tested it.

CompUSA is selling the Motorola DC800 Bluetooth Stereo Transceiver for $39.99. It shows up as a COM port in its bluetooth settings.

The problem with this, though, is it still connects with a mini 5-pin USB cable (not included).

Not quite sure how to map this into your application, but at about retail for a cable/pigtail, might be worth checking into.

p.s. Sound quality resembles that described by many HT820 owners, with pops, skips, random dropouts, and excessive noise. (At least with the MS Bluetooth stack) So a data application would (hopefully) be its forte....
