What you mean on "all the time"? :)

After major firmware upgrade, hard reset is a very recommended.

Also, better than OTA or PC Companion update is full flash (with vipe) via flashtool.

Sony (and other manufacturers) claims that wipe isnt mandatory.

It isnt, thats true, but practice says that hard reset after update fw (or full flash with wipe) solves all "phantoms" bugs.

Its easier to backup and restore than to loose patience with various bugs non-confirmed from other users.

Titanium, MyBackupPro, etc for rooted phones.

Helium for non rooted devices works (tested on 4.3 dont know about 4.4.2) and Sony's Backup & Restore app (didnt test).
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] spinz78:
Loving kit kat so far
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] profyler:
completely agree. i find amazing how they say its not mandatory, and how they still dont make an ota update where the system can "refresh" it self after a fw update.

And its not sony, i had an lg, and despite they not saying anything about HR, it was completely mandatory, or you would have some weird bandroid behavior.

its impressive that after a HR you have all phantom bugs (that SOME people have) gone (example: not possible to change wallpaper on lockscreen)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Enrico2828:
Ok, so I decided to upgrade via Flash tool. Now it seems I cannot control LED with Light Flow anymore, can someone post if he succeeded to use it without root?

---------- Post added at 09:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:07 PM ----------

I seem to have it get working with the following settings:

EDIT: PC companion got the update....
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] ziprar:
I have got a phone from clove but probably wont be updating, everything works fine, battery drain is minimal with stamina mode enabled, and I heard kitkat breaks sd card functionality (cant delete files, file managers dont work etc) so there is no point upgrading.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] vetko:
Actually you would get a much improved camera and a fresh UI with all the whistles of KK.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Tograd:
Wish they had horizontal swipe to open quick toggles instead of two unsightly text-buttons.

Beyond that I love the improved battery, camera and general improvements and updated Ui.

Updated via Sony Companion on non-rooted device, after which a factory restore was performed. I have not noticed any bugs.

UK unbranded here and got update via sony seus on two Z1Cs.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] dragon546:
any chance you screen shot your service menu. I ended up using flashtool to flash DarkImmortal FTF but like Paulkhim screenshot on the Generic UK firmware thread could be the euro version rather than UK it seems to be work ok on mine though.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Haleem98:
Sony seus? What how. I'm on the Z1...i really want it. Thanks
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] madsb:
Bought mine through 3 in Denmark, seems unbranded. Got the possibility to update though Sony Bridge for Mac last half a week ago, but no OTA notification at that point. I updated and are happy, but really need to find another calling sounds than the new defaults for call and message.

A friend of mine also has one which he got directly from Sony. He received an OTA notification of the possibility to update today.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] shysparrow:
It's SUS (Sony Update Service) not Seus

[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Haleem98:
Sorry for my noobish remarks, is it for PC or...

Because I still don't have the update for 4.4 on Companion
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] shysparrow:
Yes it is indeed for PC as it is an .exe file.

Read this : http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/tools/update-service/

Updates depend on Region & Serial Branding.

Don't forget to make a backup when updating from SUS!!
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] ruswilks:

Go directly to Quick Toggles by using a 2 finger down swipe from the top. Is your GPS working?

Why the factory restore?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Tograd:
I do Quick Toggles by doing "double-take" thumb downswipe -- if you swipe down over the Quick Toggles link you get there, and you don't have to use two hands. I would still have prefered without the text-links though.

I did factory restore because people were saying it solved certain bugs and I thought why not.

As it turns out, seems my GPS is not working..

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LenAsh:
The ROM you flashed is from my thread. I'm not sure why you think custom recovery remains available? Unless I've missed something else you did. It is overwritten by the stock ROM when flashed. Hence I clearly stated that custom recovery will no longer be available.

I don't know what "messed up" with the ROM?

I suggest you revisit the page you used and try the alternative method if you really fell the need to downgrade...

Well, this is my first serious thread. So, if I'm mistaken about something. Please forgive me.

So, let's start.

Installed CWM 6 or TWRP Recovery without bluescreen

If you are not having bluescreen problem, when succesfully flashed CWM 6 or TWRP (by Mardon, for flashing omni rom)

Then this easy guide is for you!

-Flash CWM 6.0.4.7, you can find it in here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=48884054&postcount=2 (It's fixed the bluescreen problem, and skip this if you already flashed this before.)

-Flash CWM 5.0.2.6, you can find it in here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2609021 (Maybe, other CWM 5 works too)

-If it's going well, Reboot Recovery

-Voila! Now your ace should in CWM 5 without odin, and adb, and bla bla thingy

Installed CWM 6 or TWRP Recovery with bluescreen

Using Odin

-Go to this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2609021

-And, then install CWM 5

Using ADB, or phone terminal

-Go to this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2583845&page=12

If you want go to the easy way, but extreme...

-Download CWM 5 first! And place it in sdcard

i have my XZ1 with kitkat on it.

it's not that big of an upgrade... most noticable is better camera algorithem, so a little less noisy pictures, and little better night shots.

there is a MAJOR sound issue with kitkat, sound is coming from earpiece instead of louspeaker, so people don't hear thier alarm and incoming calls...

sony promised an update this week, other that that ram handling is bad like in 4.3, it's getting low all the time and the device starts going slow and closing apps....

not much of a promise... and we didn't get any cool features from the Z2 like tap to wake or smart call handling...

From the way you write your post, I can see and pretty sure you came from a stock ROM although it is very hard to understand what you are trying to say. May I know if your phone rooted? If not, you can use the search button on XDA to find out more on how to root and flash a new custom ROM for your phone. From there, you can do a full wipe, dalvik cache, etc. through the recovery mode. If you prefer, you can opt to flash a stock one. If you are still on warranty, I suggest you send your phone for repair. Always remember to do a backup!

Some keywords that might help you are "Clockworkmod", "TWRP recovery", and "NeatROM".

Hope that helps.

Xperia Tablet Z 2... screw that... I'm never buying nothing from Sony again. There's no excuse for updates taking this long. As much as I love and baby my tab Z like another child... being in Canada and waiting 6 months for an update is complete BULL... I know its not just Sony's fault, Google is to blame as well. OS FRAGMENTATION issues... thats a laugh... once an update is out these manufacturers should be getting the ball rolling, but they are not. They wait until a new product is in the makes and then they finally do something with the update. Its just not right.

I just don't have enough middle fingers to hold up to those guys. I pay top dollar for a premium product, I expect premium support for that product as well. Otherwise I might as well buy the discount low price no-name piece of hardware that has all the latest technology and latest O/S cause then I can afford to replace it every 6 months to a year instead of expecting support for cutting edge in technology I think will last a few years.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] negrobembon:
I agree that updates take too damn long but its not only Sony, all manufacturers take ages to roll new updates

Sadly only nexus devices have the privilege of fast updates

But its better to get an update even if late than to get nothing at all, some manufacturers like lg or samsung don't even bother

You might say samsung does update thier devices but the only devices they care to update are the Note and The Galaxy S line, the rest? Stuck in the mud
