[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wmas:
hey guys. sorry if i post in the wrong thread. i dont know where to post app request :p

anyways. as the title says, is there a backport/mod of kitkat clock app with shake to snooze feature?

im currently using Ultimarom v16 android 4.3

i really like the shake to snooze feature but it is missing in the included KK clock in the rom

thanks in advance :D
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jit1108:
Ur present RoM UltimaRoM V 16 Android 4.3 doesnt have the feature of alarm clock with shake action and flip action to dismiss the alarm.

Your will find this in KK 4.4.2 RoM. So switch to 4.4.2 KK to have this feature.

did u even read what im requesting? jeez
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] fratzeskos:
Hi all,

I would like to ask if anyone has ever tried-used a micro usb to ethernet adapter, that could actually work in 100Mb/s.

The majority of these adapters cannot work in more than 10Mb/s even if they say 100. Maybe they work in 100Mb/s Half duplex.

I have found some reviews with adapters that perform in high speeds, but they don't write which chipset the adapter use.

http://youtu.be/LCXvfz41yv8

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] danvee:
To my knowledge, the needed drivers were removed as of 4.1, so the chipset no longer worked.

There was a Google + group that had been begging Google to put them back, but to no avail.

There were a few workarounds posted for rooted devices.

I stopped following it months back, but you should be able to search on it.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] fratzeskos:
I didn't know that detail, so no one of these adapters will work !!! I will search for it, thanks

Android KitKat is rolling out.

Quote from Sony Mobile:

"The next Sony software rollout for*Xperia Z Ultra,Xperia Z1*and*Xperia Z1 Compact*starts right about now*…

We’ve been working to build new Sony experiences on Google’s KitKat release to create some neat / sweet features (if we say so ourselves) – in addition to a few performance tweaks here & there, some of the functionality you can look forward to includes:

Google’s Android 4.4; KitKat*as standard – bringing performance & UI optimisation…We’ve added*our tweaked Status Bar and Quick Settings… now more intuitive and customisable (and pretty easy on the eye)… cleaned up to ensure you only get the notifications you really need

If you’ve got a Sony PlayStation 4, you might recognize our new user interface*– we’ve added the same sleek launch animation and livewallpaper across the lock and home screens

We’re also*uplifting Sony’s entire native app portfolio to the latest versions*– bringing tweaked / improved / current experiences for (to name but a few): Messaging, MyXperia, Smart Connect, Small apps, TrackID, TrackID TV, Sony Select, Smart Social Camera and…

Sony’s Media apps: WALKMAN, Album and Movies, with Sony Entertainment Network cloud service integration**– a more converged and full Sony entertainment experience – Sony Entertainment Network & PlayMemories integration with a more intuitive UI, better download speeds, and more!

Our*unique custom interface experience: “Xperia Themes”,*with downloadable UI packs from Sony Select*– skin up to 280 assets across your Xperia smartphone with a variety of styles, and more to follow soon…"

No signs of tap2wake and other stuff from Xperia Z2.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] TheQwertiest:
Meh... That would kinda suck... Dev would've to port tap2wake from Z2\Z into custom kernel (which we still don't have) and that might take quite a looooong time =(
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] hash054:
Was only waiting for kitkat only if smartcall and tap to wake up were in it... I dont see the point of upgrading.. :S
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Coelijoeli:
Since rollout is starting for our phone, when can we expect it?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] TheQwertiest:
Kitkat brings quite a performance increase and improves battery life as well, so it's not THAT useless ;)

Depends on the region, but I think we would be seeing it in two weeks. Some of us might get the update today, others later...
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] aigaming:
Nothing in real life is true about that,kitkat is still buggy and has some battery drain problems,most of the people reported that they had less battery drain with 4.3 so we shall see(nexus 7 2013 kitkat user here)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] hash054:
Not motivated enough.. battery life already a charm and performance already a beast.. so.. its not worth it to update 4.3 to 4.4 just for the sake of changing the number.. :P

Can't wait to get feedback about the (potential) improvements on the camera! :cyclops:

---------- Post added at 01:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:59 PM ----------

I don't think that you don't want even better battery life :p.

Also, there are other improvements (like with the camera), new features, as quoted in my prev. post.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] banvetor:
Any info on how Sony is handling the whole microSD debacle with its 4.4 KitKat firmware?

I use my microSD to store music and videos only, but I'm wondering if the 4.4 firmware can get me any problems with wifi syncing software (AirDroid, Cheetah Sync), or any 3rd party media player such as MX Player...
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] vetko:
Would you be so kind to test the camera improvements after update? Maybe the new version fixes the blurriness, noisiness and low light performance of the camera :) I wouldn't expect to remove the flash bleed but... who knows... maybe they played with the flash timing somehow...
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] ImAnurag:
great :) Which region ? Can you post PC Companion update screenshot ? You customization ?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] heavyhms:
The update is via pc companion or OTA?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] guap:
I will not update till having a safe and certain way to roll back and a rooted 4.4 rom... My 4.3 stock with root is almost perfect, no reason to change after reading the changelog. Just curiosity :p

[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Riyal:
Please tell us what are the new features... Any of the z2 features implemented?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Riyal:
New feature list please... Anything new in the cam? Or at least doubletap 2 wake
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] guap:
oh noooo that f..ugly "new" quicksettings :eek: Why should I need a separate tab for them!?!?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Roker1:
Do you see any improvement in camera photos? Are there any new features like background defocus?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Levered:
dont forget upload video review soon....;)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] addicted2088:
Immersive mode, so we can actually have full screen apps and be able to bring down the status bar in Sony apps that are already full screen but don't allow to open status bar while in full screen mode on 4.3 (Samsung has this feature since before 4.4, one of the reasons why I liked TouchWiz), (hopefully) reduced RAM usage, camera enhancements - quite a few things worth upgrading for even if tap to wake isn't there. Let's hope there are as few bugs as possible, though.

---------- Post added at 07:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:46 PM ----------

I played with the Z2 and MWC, and while I liked that there is a separate page now (this means more toggles, and the ability to long press them to go into settings), the new look is pretty bad, not at all like what Sony usually does. And there's no two-finger swipe for direct toggles access, so Sony didn't think the notification menu through on KitKat. :(

---------- Post added at 07:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:47 PM ----------

If you have developer options enabled, could you please check if there's the option to change the Runtime between Dalvik and ART? You can enable developer options in settings by pressing the Build Number entry in Settings » About phone, if needed. Thanks!

[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Luinwethion:
It's a shame, but I can remember reading somewhere in some blog that ART will only be available on Nexus phones (and Motorola i guess) for now

any T9 keyboard?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] developerbuzz:
ART

It's included in the CyanogenMod 11 nightlies.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] addicted2088:
Ah, too bad, seems only HTC managed to put it in, Samsung and Sony haven't.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Luinwethion:
Of course, ART is on the AOSP code, but no major manufacturer will implement the option to change, if I can't remember the runtimer code is present, but they disabled the option to change the runtime

[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Funkym0nkey:
That is classic case of doing something different for the sake of it. They should have stuck with default Android behaviour. Single finger swipe down = Notifications. 2 finger swipe down = Quick settings.

This is the thing I hate the most. I am fine with skins, but dont change things around for the sake of doing something different. Some things needs to be left as they are meant to be.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] MouseX:
What about 4k and 120fps in camera?

Nope uncheck the wipe data and cache option then it will be fine :)

what about timeshift video? No either?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] pixel81k:
no, it's only logic

i hope - and somehow believe it also - that after Z2 is out for a while, they update Z1-Devices too - but for now, it's the selling point of the Z2 :cyclops:

Nothing yet also here (Italy, EU Model, sim free ).
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] brocnical:
Ugh, I hate the look of this change. So bloated and messy, and without the two finger fast access.

Currently on Sony's 4.3 I have a single neat row of the toggles that I actually use. Much neater and much more convenient.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] _katho_:
Maybe you should try first before speaking. 2 fingers for fast access works.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] brocnical:
Good news! (I assumed the word of others to be correct, otherwise wouldn't have spoken)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] brocnical:
Of the Z2 features, I think Smart Backlight Control would be the most useful. It's a feature Samsung devices have had for a couple of years now, so see so reason why it shouldn't be on the current Sony flagship (which the Z1c is).
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] kata2008:
In Germany update is available!

[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Cloudmaster:
Ok, completely new to these forums and the Z1C (having come from a long line of Blackberry's). So first question of possibly many, will this update come automatically OTA or will I have to install some software on my PC & do it through that?

Thanks for looking
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] dragon546:
Most have been coming through via Pc Companion. Others have been flashing via flash tool.

Wait for the update via Pc Companion if you cannot wait then researching about flash tool. Or you could hold out for OTA
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] nizarnoor:
Not available yet. UK unbranded. :(
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] shysparrow:

I did that with the "commercial" FTF and is working great ...
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] darkwolf1789:
I have three questions I would appreciate an answer to please:

1) If you update via PC companion, does your phone get wiped?

2) If you update via Flashtool, does your phone get wiped?

3) If I have my bootloader unlocked, does that mean I can't update via PC companion and/or OTA?

Thanks
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] pixel81k:
1) no wipe

2) you define what to wipe - simply deselect [x] data and you're fine (firmware-selection dialog top-right)

3) can just guess: if you unlocked, you probably also flashed a rooted kernel - with different kernel, i wasn't able to update; if untouched firmware, probably works - just give it a try, it doesn't kill your phone, phone just complains it wasn't able to update; this was my experience with Xperia Z, i don't think it's different here

:)

Anyone else experiencing drastic battery drain and overall device heat on 4.4.2 due to the known camera issue and acknowledged by google's android division found on this firmware? (mm-qcamera-daemon)

My battery life went from amazing (stock 4.3) to absolute crap (tops 5/6 hours on 4.4.2)

Running stock & unrooted android
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] profyler:
google said its mostly caused by skype app drainng the batery camera because of the mm-qcamera-daemon bug.

they also said to reboot the device and not use the camera so it doesnt trigger the mm-qcamera-daemon bug, please make a test rebooting your phone and dont use the camera, see if theres still drain. if the drain continue even after rebooting and not using the camera, than it must be something else.

i just Hard reset my phone and am installing KK right now. after that i will hard reset again.

I tell you later if i also has this, and if hard reseting solves the problem.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] as_vassili:
Alright, it seems we've been reading the same advice/fixes available so far out there until google/then Sony fix it for good on KitKat.

However, did a hard reset, didn't install any of those apps using the camera in the background (whatsapp/skype...) and of course have not launched the camera app ever since the factory reset. Severe battery draining is still occuring.

Also, I set brightness to minimum, disabled keyboard sounds, haptic feedback, NFC...pretty much anything energy consuming and Satmina mode activated.

Is there any way of rolling back to stock 4.3 without loosing warranty?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] profyler:
guyz,i updated with SUS, but conection droped a lot of times (bad internet where i live), anyway sus always resumed the download and installed it just fine.

[Xperia Z1 Compact General] baineteo:
Can anyone comment if we are able to swipe left/right to switch between the notification plane and quick toggle planes? I only need 4 or 5 toggles and it doesn't make sense that it takes one more click to toggle something simple. Also, 2 finger swipe is a poor choice (on Google's part) - it makes one handed usage impossible.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] ro_explorer:
Nope .. no swipe .. just pushing the tab button will switch between the views.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] baineteo:
That is completely lame! I don't understand why does google have to put all user interactions at the very top of the screen. The option button is just one of them, and now this. How I wished sony would revert the quick settings back to 4.3. Looks like I'm going to stick with jelly bean for now.

Thanks for the info, Btw.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] ro_explorer:
I agree .. the "new" quick settings is not that handy, compared to the JB one. I also prefer that one. But KK is supposed to bring other "under the hood" enhancements .. so I'll just live with it.

Anyway, the one finger/two fingers swipe down will bring the notifications and quick settings respectively in a direct access mode.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] pixel81k:
hey! cool hint! ty !! wasn't aware of this
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] baineteo:
Yea, but the reason I got the z1 compact was because I wanted one handed operation. The need to swipe with 2 negates this completely..... I guess the saving grave is, instead of having to tap an icon at the far right top corner to access the quick toggles (which are ironically no longer quick), we can tap on the "tabs" right?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Gjole86:
Anyone that have the phone from Clove UK has update popping up?

no update in OTA or PC Companion, still on 114

You can access to toggle with one finger if you bring down the notification panel from top right, try it! You have to stop just one second over quick settings bringing down and it will change the tab!

For those of you who feel concerned or simply FYI, rolling back to stock 4.3 got the drastic battery draining issue to vanish. i.e. as far as I'm concerned this update definitely needs some patching. Will consider the update when/if all is sorted out by google/sony.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] recolor-shrink-spool:

[Xperia Z1 Compact General] crimsonnight:
Same here (although got mine from mobilephonesdirect)

Will OTA be available at the same time as through PC companion?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Syberyon:
Hmm, I have to admit it's very weird seeing you guys complain about battery duration on KK. I updated my Z1C to 4.4.2 last night via PC Companion, and I have to say there are plenty of improvements. Extended battery life, A LOT better camera quality (I was utterly disappointed by the quality on 4.3) and less RAM usage (On 4.3 there was approx. 900-930mb of RAM used, and on 4.4 it's literally 200mb less. Exactly 723mb as I'm typing this).

And while this is subjective, and I'm not saying it is, or is not, a bad 'upgrade', I got used to the new Quick toggles very soon.

Anyway, just my two cents.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] profyler:
i still think that hard reseting the phone after a major update eliminates some problems those people have.

I did a hard reset befor and after flashing. Will report battery tomorow.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] as_vassili:
Well gotta say you're lucky... quick question though, have you installed skype and have you used it ever since the update? Cheers for the feedback.

---------- Post added at 05:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:09 PM ----------

Please do report back, any feedback concerning this issue will be more than welcome. However, I did do a hard reset after flashing KK in the hopes of it getting better, no luck there, at least for me :(
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Gjole86:
im actually annoyed that 4.3 dont have that, since i use 4.4.2 on my old xperia neo... got used to KK, and the old neo is like new again. the less ram usage is so needed on 512 MB ram phones.

not like apps get closed on the z1c, all top notch.

only thing i miss from the xperia neo is actually the volume for headphones. the neo rocks so hard. but then z1c sounds alot better
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Enrico2828:
