Weird bug:

Adjust volume level in settings. Wait for a few seconds while.the ringtone is playing then tap ok

The ringtone sometimes still plays even though you already closed the settings menu. Flashed stock rom twice via pc companion. Issue still persists
[Xperia Z1 General] zOOOOmer:
After updating to .761 overheating became less of a problem; bluetooth, nfc, wifi etc work like intended. But camera freezing problem (which is described here) is driving me nuts. Hope Sony will do something with it.
[Xperia Z1 General] Tonian1878:
from what ive read Kitkat seems more like a backwards step.

doesnt appear to be any new useful features, flash player requires little more messing to get it to work and the sd card access has been limited.

what is the benefit of updating to Kitkat?
[Xperia Z1 General] Gnubaver:
I'm not sure anymore.

I hope this will change soon since it's just terrible...

(I mean it is similar as HTC sensation was on stock)
[Xperia Z1 General] Tonian1878:
same until the is root for locked devices and googles attack on SD cards is fixed.

i use apps like File commander to move stuff from internal storage to sd card or vice versa which i cant do on Kitkat
[Xperia Z1 General] ghostman2:
KitKat is perfect for me, just 1 problem: I just cant change the lockscreen wallpaper, i set it and shows the message "applying wallpaper" but then when i look still with that live wallpaper, can someone help me?

PS: I just installed over my previous version, i didnt make a clean install, maybe this is the problem?
[Xperia Z1 General] NiM72NiK:
guys I think these all are because we just flashed the first ftf file released..we need to wait a little more i think.

and all the features you want from z2 will come on after z2 release.for sure.

if sony ports these features from z2 on z1 ,nobody will buy z2.

as i saw, there arer some camera improvements.less noise,more contrast.. and AR affect video capture added.

and.....NO ART !!! TERRIBLE!!!!!!!

kitkat without art is useless!!!
[Xperia Z1 General] dr_dare:
No It does not change for me too. Tried rebooting and it did not fix either. Mayb a BUG
[Xperia Z1 General] ghostman2:
The answering machine is here? I cant find it :(

EDIT: Ok, ok, ok, i find it :)

But i still cant change lockscreen wallpaper :(

I did a clean install but still the same :(

[Xperia Z1 General] diabolus81:
Hmm people say that ART missing is terrible but read about that it is not so good at all !!!

1.ART is not so fast as people says, maybe on the fresh system but in tests with time goes on system slow down more than dalvik

2.ART in tests is not so battery frendly as they told

so ART is the future but for now i'm happy that is't there :)
[Xperia Z1 General] kingchristy123:
Overall happy with 4.4, people saying about ART come of it the phone isnt slow to begin with dont see why its needed any faster battery is better on mine so far, only thing ive noticed is that it takes longer for me to access camera app everything else is like lightning.

Bluetooth issues

With the released - applied via Sony Bridge - 4.4 update, I'm seeing tons of problems with Bluetooth headphones (Sony MDR-1RBT, MDR-1RBT Mk. 2 and MDR-10RBT) and playback "breaking up".

I do have three devices connecting via BT - a Pebble, a Jawbone UP24 and the headphones - but these same devices, with the same versions, were connecting with 4.3 as well.

Not sure what the deal is...but it's not good.
[Xperia Z1 General] MohammedFurqaan:
looks like Sony removed this feature with 4.4.2

Same here, I am too unable to add or slide the widgets to the lock screen

[Xperia Z1 General] palkia171993:
There seem to be many problems with this update (maybe because Sony rushed it). Anyway, homescreen sometimes has sluggish moments, I have never had it with 4.3. And when I choose contact picture, it use google drive as default instead of ALBUM.

This update also doesn't have the Media Apps that have side menu like in some review video of Z2.

I also don't see improvement in picture quality apart from the fact that the camera load faster and there are Creative Effect and AR effect for video.

Z Ultra kitkat have option of Simple Home and Home screen grid while Z1 doesn't

Overall performance is pretty much the same for me (if not even worse like homescreen performance)

Beside some positive point in the UI, I think this update is pretty disappointing.
[Xperia Z1 General] nvidia70:
Yepp, and that's fixed the "error"! But I still got a problem with changing background on lockscreen. Tried the solutions mensioned in this thread, but no luck. Maybe this is a bug? By the way, has not wiped the phone after flashing. Maybe this will do the trick?
[Xperia Z1 General] HellRoot:
How about the camera? Is there an improvement in quality...?
[Xperia Z1 General] nikola1970:
I flashed FTF, did factory reset to be sure.

It bugs a lot, phone is sometimes not responsive totally and i have to restart it. Sometimes camera bugs as well. Damn!

Battery drains so fast as well :/
[Xperia Z1 General] akusokuzan:
So I'm using the new Kit Kat update, but is anyone using MightyText noticing that messages are sending twice when you send from the web app?
[Xperia Z1 General] nnhoang:
Yeah I've tried everything, but still can't change my lockscreen wallpaper. This sucks.
[Xperia Z1 General] sm.vassallo:

[Xperia Z1 General] kantk20111:
Booting up rooted kitkat with locked bootloader as we speak!

Super first impressions: I don't like the new boot animation :(. I like the 4.3 black ribbon one more classy and nice. Is there any way of getting that one back?
[Xperia Z1 General] vhl71:
check your default app for cropping the picture..if you use quickpic, it doesnt work..use the album app to do this and it will work
[Xperia Z1 General] CSL00:
Anyone experienced this new stupid behaviour on the walkman app in which if you skips to the next track on the lock screen controls sound stops going to the headphones (wired apple EarPods in my case) and instead goes to the phone`s speaker? This was after fresh install via Sony Bridge for Mac.
[Xperia Z1 General] negrobembon:
File commander does work on this kit kat because its a system app

System apps have full access to the Sd card
[Xperia Z1 General] kantk20111:
Quick first impressions after playing with it for 5-7 minutes. TLDR: Very happy with the update, no glaring problems so far, everything seems a bit smoother.

If you encounter problems I suggest you do a full wipe/reset if you haven't done already. So far I have none of the the problems mentioned in this thread.

-Overall more smoothness. Feels more buttery, especially in home menu.

-Root+Gravitybox working well. EDIT: Nope, found a bug, when gravitybox is enabled the volume rockers cause and FC when trying to change volume. Anyone have any idea how to fix that?

-Camera opens up faster and focusing is MUCH faster. Not got a chance to compare image quality, will do soon.

-Not liking the new notification pulldown menu. I liked having quick settings in the same window pane, switching takes a longer time.

-Battery status indicator is weird. Why is that plus sign always there when you enable Stamina mode regardless if it is on or not? That plus sign should come only when it kicks in.

-Bluetooth throw is working fine for me.

-Battery drain seems a bit high but can't judge that yet. No overheating so far...

Overall nothing I can complain about. Would've liked a few more features (especially in camera), but nothing immediately worrying. Hopefully Sony will give some of the Z2's features to us when the Z2 comes out. Right now, happy with the update!
[Xperia Z1 General] Tonian1878:
sorry bad example. first file manager app that came to mind. still an issue with any other file manager apps on the playstore tho

sure many other apps will have issues with the kitkat changes to sd cards tho
[Xperia Z1 General] Bobeobi:
Is that true, that "GSM Only" mode in Mobile Networks is no more? That's would be a great dissadvantage.
[Xperia Z1 General] ghostman2:
Didnt work, i tried 3 different methods to crop and still cant change lockscreen image. :(

[Xperia Z1 General] dnanian:
Additional notes on BT breaking up/crackling - this is on the Z1 C6906 on AT&T LTE. The Z1 Compact - D5503 - (which I realize is not this thread, but it's the same general hardware) does not have the same problem...weird.
[Xperia Z1 General] piponxs:
This is terrible.... Rolling back to 4.3 ... Never sony again....
[Xperia Z1 General] zegun:

the superior auto camera setting is very good too now

though im pretty much disappointed we got no Timeshift Video, smart backlight, and Smart Call Handling

Weird. I'm not getting any deep sleep. I'll try uninstalling a few apps first. Apparently Skype and KitKat don't work that well together and can cause battery drain.

Hi

Where is the small apps option?

I read in update features that camera include the background defocus app. but i don't see any things...
[Xperia Z1 General] B1nny:
The small apps can be launched from the multi-task menu. (press the multi task button, you'll see a row of icons at the bottom of your screen) Other than that, the defocus app is not included by default in the Z1 KitKat ROM. It can be downloaded from the apps & themes section and installed without any problems.
[Xperia Z1 General] djnorich:
>do they bring back the old sound click?

>what about the issue the stock keyboard can't access the personal dictionary. did they fix that?

I'm getting overheating too...

It seems we have now 15.5 Mpx camera on manual mode

I can't change the livewallpaper in the lock screen.

New design sucks badly.

Still exploring
[Xperia Z1 General] MobileBritain:
Which ROM are you running ?

Can't see the defocus app in the list of extra camera apps, can see Vine, Camera2, Motion Shot, Quick PDF scanner, Perfectly Clear, Wikitude, Vintage 8mm, Evernote, Panorama 360, Motiongraph, V1 Sports and FxFuru but no defocus app.

Currently running the French ROM.
[Xperia Z1 General] Chirag22ster:
Guys, has anyone noticed this problem? Any solution for the same?

[Xperia Z1 General] negrobembon:
I can change my lockscreen wallpaper normally here, I've done it three times already, once with the personalization setting amd twice from the album app

My phone doesn't overheat, doesn't even get warm and I've been playing Rayman fiesta run for 45 minutes

And battery life seems to be the same as with 4.3 in my case

Bluetooth doesn't crackle though i only tried it in the car's bluetooth, haven't tried headphones yet

I haven't found any bugs yet, must be because i used PCC i don't know
[Xperia Z1 General] NanoSurfer:
I noticed the sound bug too, but if you click on the 3 dots (settings) in top right corner, sound is played through the speakers properly. Sound is A LOT better than before.

I have no issues changing lock screen wallpaper
[Xperia Z1 General] nnhoang:

Have gotten some hours on it now.

Did a full wipe.

At the first boot stuff what I encountered:

- Battery seemed to drain awful quick

- Chrome loaded every page twice

-Somehow I could change iso when a scene was selected.

One reboot later, and so far nothing weird has happened.

4G also seems speedier.

My impression about kitkat

Its more fast

Nice interface.. NOT woooow.. Just nice

Nice camera

Its not a major change like we expect

But its over all rate is higher then jb

If you are not in harry you can wait for next update with all z2 future
[Xperia Z1 General] Jay794:
I'm liking 4.4.2 so far, but I can't figure out how to disable battery percentage
[Xperia Z1 General] MisfirGeek:
There something I don't like...

The new notification panel... It's sooooo black. All is now transparent except this! It's too much contrast. Also access to quick setting require 2 steps.

I can read this when using 2 fingers you directly get the settings. Yes. But it's not easy to use 2 fingers.

The rest is quite good.

No overheat.

Can't say about battery.

[Xperia Z1 General] kantk20111:
Quick update after using it for 6 hours or so.

Battery drain has improved. It's still a bit higher than JB but now I'm getting deep sleep and it's not super bad like before. Phone seems to be running at normal temp, no overheating.

Camera has improved. 15mp is awesome. A bit less noise.

If you pull down the notification bar with 2 fingers it goes straight to the quick settings which is good.

Overall much smoother, especially scrolling. I love the new screen lock/unlock sound. Bluetooth is working fine for me.

I don't know if it's just me but the speaker sounds louder as well, and a bit clearer.

Now, bugs: Music player widget on lockscreen doesn't change song name sometimes when you fast forward (although song still changes)

Gravitybox causes FC when you press the volume buttons. I recommend using XBlast instead until that is fixed.

Overall, very happy with the update. A nice improvement over JB. Battery could be a bit better but hopefully it'll stabilize over the next few days. Hopefully Z2 features will be ported over easily, and Sony releases it to us once the Z2 is out. Overall 8.5/10.
[Xperia Z1 General] negrobembon:
I love the new notification panel, looks awesome, i always tought the old one was kind of fugly

Settings - Personalization - Status bar icons - Battery Percentage. :)
[Xperia Z1 General] Hermantje:
Well, there's no pleasing everyone :cyclops:

I preferred the transparent notification bar, and the toggles you could access without clicking another tab first or using two fingers. I actually find the whole "two finger swipe down for toggles" idea odd. I can't be the only one who basically always uses their thumb to access the notification bar. And unfortunately I don't have two thumbs on one hand :silly:
[Xperia Z1 General] MobileBritain:
Not sure that the two finger thing is a real gesture, if you lead with your right hand finger it doesn't work.
[Xperia Z1 General] drsoran2:
To those with kitkat: Is it still possible to create folders, delete stuff and copy files via wifi and airdroid from PC to the sdcard?

And I've heard that with es file explorer you can still move things around, delete, create files and also copy files from a network pc on the sd like it was pre-KitKat?

And if not, could I use es file explorer to copy files first to the internal storage and then move it freely to the card afterwards?

Lastly, what is this "file commander" app cause I don't have it on 4.2.2. Is it a system app with full access to the sdcard and what can/can't you do with it?
[Xperia Z1 General] negrobembon:
I agree with you on that one, the two swipe is kind of unnatural, i wish you could just swipe right and left

But looks-wise its awesome(for me at least)

As EE are the slowest of the bunch it will be after that.

The last version of 4.3 was never released as UK unbranded, it could be a while before it appears.

I think issues with multi-touch got fixed, don't experience any.
