[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gandalf_grey91:
In all honesty, including postage, it came in a little over 260, and yes, it was aquired from a popular auction site. Battery is good and I get about 3 days of moderate use but it has a strange quirk in that it loses 10 - 12% of battery in first 5 minutes of being turned on. Never had a phone that does that before. After that initial battery drain it settles down and lasts, as I said, quite well.

My Z1 is fully unlocked. I bought a couple of Xperia SPs for the parents soon after they were released and it was difficult to get fully (SIM and bootloader) unlocked models. But, especially, with carrier supplied models, as time goes on they simply replenish stock from what sony have available (in channel) rather than insisting on the locked bootloader models that are part of the initial deal the companies sign before the device is released. Same goes for phones supplied via insurance companies, usually the more time that passes after release the more likely you are to be supplied a sim-free fully unlocked model (although some insurance companies have deals to buy/supply refurbished models which means read the policy carefully).

For the same money, I considered a Galaxy S4 but having held it and tried it, I could not part with the money for such a cheap and plasticy POS. Seriously, even cheap end ZTE and Huawei phones feel better made than "flagship" samsungs. If HTC had included removable battery, SD card slots and a better camera on both M7 and M8 for the last 2 years, samsung would have sold half as many Galaxy S models.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steve_max:
Remember that you can overclock the Z1 GPU to 533 MHz, so that is a <10% difference. Overclocking both CPU and GPU, the Z1's 800 (2.4GHz/533MHz) is very comparable with the Z2's 801AB (2.3GHz/578MHz) and within striking distance from the S5's 801AC (2.5GHz/578MHz). No idea on how those overclock, though.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gandalf_grey91:
When you say "you can overclock the Z1", you mean if you unlock bootloader, lose bravia engine / drm keys and install a custom kernel.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steve_max:
Yes, but why would you not unlock the bootloader? You can backup the TA partition and just restore it if needed, and everything just works without the DRM keys (if you believe you lost something, restore TA, install stock kernel, and you're back to stock). This is a development forum; I assume people here are willing to modify their devices to extract the maximum from them (in speed, battery life, whatever).
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gandalf_grey91:
I would have thought that was obvious. Unlocking the bootloader on my old Motorolas or HTCs provided more function and in the case of the HTCs made things better with custom Hboots. But the current crop of Sony's use the bravia engine to enhance the screen which is an integral part of the user experience and unlocking the bootloader disables it. Yes, by backing up the TA partition it is possible to revert back if the bootloader has been unlocked. But, unlike some other phones, with Sony phones the users can only choose to either unlock the bootloader to flash non-stock ROMs and custom kernels and lose the Bravia engine or leave the bootloader locked with working bravia engine but never gain the ability to flash AOSP ROMs. You can't have both because of that pesky TA partition. Because the Sony stock ROM experience is so good and thanks to the fantastic work some devs have done on modules for the Xposed framework, some designed especially for Xperia phones, Sony users have 2 strong choices.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dedei:
I unlocked my bootloader and x-reality (bravia engine) and BIONZ are still working flawlessly.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steve_max:
I dislike the idea of special postprocessing on images on the screen. The X-Realty engine is that: some processing on your pictures/movies when the phone shows them on its own screen. They won't appear like that on your computer, or when you share the picture with anyone, out when you print them. It is a fake improvement, and I prefer to keep it disabled.

Anyway, AFAIK there are ways to make that work on UB. Never tried, but this is said to work well: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2635986
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gandalf_grey91:
You are right, I don't like it either, any thing that only affects the devices own screen is a fake improvement. But thank you for including the link, I didn't know I had the option to unlock the bootloader and keep the bravia engine/x-reality.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Duchman:
How much do you overclock and how stable is your tablet? I have mine clocked at 1400 constantly and so far only had a couple of hang-ups. I know from my experience that it's pretty unstable at 1700, but what about 1500-1600?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sidneyk:
Beyond 1200 doesn't really gain you much and may even degrade performance, along with instability. Might give you better benchmarks, but real world, 1200 is probably the sweet spot for stability with modest performance increase.

I've recently updated to android 4.4.3 through sideload as the OTA isn't available yet.

I've noticed the system to be sluggish and slow. Animations have at least 1 second lag. Even the buttons have a response lag. Everything just seems to be slow.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Luxoman:
Hi There

I am currently on Dr.Ketan's K9 but my problems started after updating to K8. As soon as i tried to call out when I was in China I got this not registered on network and then I just went back into aroma and changed modem to Russia and all was fine, the phone worked but now I will be in Sweden for two mounts and when I came here I got the same problem again so I tried to change modem which did not help this time.

I read in many forums to try to solve this but no luck. Next step was going back to stock rom 4.4.2 TGY Hongkong where the phone is from but no luck there either. I also tried the codes that should solve soft brick but same result. The only thing that I found is that the IMIE is 04999010640000/01 and that is not what it says on the label on the phone. Can this be the problem or is there anyone that can help with some advise?

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ziksinski:
Hi,

First of all I was using "search" but I didn't find anything special about mio P550 / P350. I know that this forum isn't for mio but mostly for HTC. But maybe someone can help me.

Is there any software which can "pull out" ROM image to my PC? Lot of inquisitive users accidentally deleted ROM in their Mio's (at boot loader they chose Low Level format).

After this operation they are still able to enter boot loader mode. There is an option: Image Upgrade Tools:

0=Image by USB

1=Image by SD/MMC

The problem is that we don't knot how to copy image from healthly P350/P550 to SD or PC by USB

There is also other menu: DUMP Tools

0=Dump WholeIMG_CKS (if we chose this nothing happens, only "Image_CKS:0x1ddc3aa8" apears on the screen). PC discovers mio as: SEC S3C2410X Test B/D and Windows cannot find any driver for this.

1=User Store to SD (this is nothing but backup of all data in P350)

2= SD to UserStore (restore of previosly backedup data)

3=Mark Bad Block (50MB) - ??

Do you have any ideas how we can dump image?

Hi ziksinski.

Did the solution given by XDante work? I am currently considering going down this route to backup the ROM on my new P550 to allow me to restore it at a later date if all goes horribly wrong!

I also came across the following at this address: http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=319907

hi, mio_pda

Follow the procedure:

Connect the mio p550 to PC

1.put the Button of the PDA in ON position

2. hold the joystick downward and press the reset button

3.choose “Image Upgrade tools”

4.choose “0=Image by USB”

5.intall the usb driver (PC require the drivers). The driver in the folder “USB driver”

6.open the software “dnw5.0e”

7.(if you want to make a test of connection USB, click the” USB port/Statute”. If all is ok go to step 8

8. click “USB port/transmitted” and to show the way of the file “MioP550 - Osc260A R05_P09.nb0”

9.press the reset button to restart the mio p550.

Anyway, I hope that this proves useful.

Yeah.. go ahead and do a low level format, it will take a few minutes. Then upload the rom from the computer via USB. It should automatically boot right right up. I did the exact same thing with the power patch because it doesn't give any kind of warnings.

Incase the other people's website go down here is the one I downloaded and used on my P550. I haven't had one issue with it yet and it's been over a month. Only issue you will have will be with miomaps, Each install CD that comes with the P550 package has a serial that is already in your ROM. This new rom will make your MioMaps come up with a "HardwareIdChanged" error. No biggie though, you can download a cracked version of it or just get TomTom6 *100x better and easier to use*

Good Luck!

I needed to flash my WM5 ROM for my Mio P35o to convert its language from dutch to english and even after following what you listed, I was having the same (stuck at 99%) problem.

I realized that it was probably because I was doing all this in Windows Vista and because of some problem, probably DNW was not closing the connection after the ROM image transfer did it keep getting stuck at 99.

I shifted to XP and the whole thing worked, maybe because the test bed driver I was using was written for XP... in any case, I'm guessing the 99% problem is not due to the ROM but probably something wrong with the host machine driver/software that doesnt end the transfer properly.

Error in low level format MIO P550

Hi, first of all thanks for the Forum!

can you help me with this problem...?

I have Mio P550 with WM5, and when I use the IGO - GPS software, afther some time I got error:

"

Fatal Error

Fatal error occurred

in main thread.

Address : 0x4b56420c

Exception : 0x000001d "

I have reinstalled the WM5 and deleat all the ather programs, and I get the same error.

Then I decide to upgraide to WM6.1 that i have find in this forum - post # 151 by timmmooo.

But when I do the - low level format, I got the error message:

" FMD GetBlockStatus Error = "

I see the messeage at the biginning, and then see 2% of the format to 16% , and see the message againe, after some time, the format continue, and again the same in 27% of the format process and so on.

When I install the WM6.1 by using "winceimg.bin" on my SDCARD, during the installtion of WM6.1, it make an fomatting process, and iI can see the same error massege " FMD GetBlockStatus Error = " at the bottom of the screen.

I have to say that WM6.1 is operrate, but maybe the error during the format is the reasion why I got the "fattal Error" at the first place.

Can I fix the error with the formating?

What should I do in your opinion?
