1 Preferly, Sony Center, because of warranty and waterproof

2 They have to, if it's a Sony Official repair center

3 No
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] eumanoid:
just contacted sony philippines.

1. they will take my phone to main center for diagnosis.

2. this will take about a month.

3. since i am out of warranty, they will charge more.

4. after repair, i will have to wait about 2 more weeks.

i will not have my phone for 2 months.... hmmmm. i don't like where this is going..
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] New Folder:
I would replace battery myself. It's about 10 minute job but you need to buy new battery and back cover as you can't reuse it if you want 100% waterproof.

Cheers.

Overheating issues that affect other areas.

I finally got my phone May 3rd after purchasing it online. I had to get the SIM card cut because I was using an Xperia Sola before this. After getting the phone I decided that I would work with KitKat but I soon changed my mind after PC Companion convinced me.... The update was great. The phone was responding like a well oiled machine but that was all to end in a few hours. I began to notice that the device started to lose connection to my subscriber. After a few time of reinserting the SIM it would connect but soon disconnect. I ran a few tests and realized that when the phone is cold, it connects seamlessly; I can make calls and send text messages. When it reaches a certain temerature, it loses connection. An app I downloaded showed me that below 25 Degrees Celsius, the phone is connected. Anything above that and I can't get anything out of it.

Since I didn't get the chance to use it with KitKat, I'm not exactly sure if the new upgrade is the problem or if its an issue with the phone itself. Can anybody give their input on the matter? Any answer would be appreciated.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] aakash43:
Just let the phone to settle down and after one to two days of usage and after 2-4 reboots phone will work normally. But in my case there is no network drops issue while overheating believe me i play lots of game.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] AndRic4:
I'm frustrated!! It's been a week of this on and off issue. Btw, what do you mean by settle down? If I leave the phone by itself, it goes up to 33 Degrees. By then I've already lost service. I'm thinking about downgrading it even tho I love Lollipop. Do you think that will help?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] speig:
I'd wager the cut sim card is the problem. The tolerances are tight, and an improperly cut card may loose contact when the phone heats up.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] AndRic4:
So the card should be trimmed then? What do you suggest?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] kokkss:
Sounds weird. Just go to Your provider and ask for a micro sim card.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] eumanoid:
i will try and obtain a back cover, a battery and some extra adhesives. where can i get cheaper ones? (i'm from the philippines)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] AndRic4:
MANY THANKS Speig! I tried a properly cut sim card and it worked seamlessly. I got my sim replaced with a new one and I'm now up and running ?.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] eumanoid:
I did what you said. There was a little improvement but the battery is still acting up. Although not as bad, but still pretty bad.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] maninder singh bali:
Gud to hear from you.. The real story is that the lollipop update bumps the cpu frequency when some activity is done on the phone. The bump in the frequency is quite high as compared to the older firmwares especially jelly bean 4.3.

So either u stay on lollipop or u try 4.3 jelly bean and see the difference between the battery backup... According to me jelly bean 4.3 is more stable and has gud performance..
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Giargo:
The launch version is always the best, I purchased with the 4.4 already, I would like to try the 4.3 but it's not so good to stay with a 2 years old software version.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] profyler:
Have you tried to factory reset it?

If not, do it.

After that let your phone discharge completely and charge it with phone off. the battery will calibrate itself this way

see if it helps.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] aakash43:
Hi friends today i came across a weird bug after lollipop. I have a sony smarty TV kdl 32W700B and when i connect to tv using wifi direct on phone and tv both without using any router screen mirror slutters like hell even worst than scratched DVD. But when i switch off wifi direct of tv and connect using router it works normally. I think sony again going to leave me with screen mirror bug like in xperia SP which connects to tv for 30 sec only.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] eumanoid:
hi, i have tried.

1. fatory reset -> drain -> charge

2. fatory reset -> drain -> charge w off

3. repair through pc companion -> drain -> charge

4. repair through pc companion -> drain -> charge w off

turning stamina mode on seems to make draining worst.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] uchihakurtz:
Anyone tried rooting Lollipop with this method yet? Does it work? How's the bootloader state afterward?

If you haven't tried it, do so at your own risk.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] maninder singh bali:
Its ok!! use the firmware which gives u the best results....
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] ASLANOO:
Tried it now.

Works for me!

Not sure how it effects future system updates.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] aakash43:
Ya i also tried on samsung smarty tv but at that time i had kitkat on my phone. But after which i applied for refund of samsung tv because panel died 7 times in 3 months. And i'm talking about screen mirror.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] uchihakurtz:
Wow, really? Yet checking your bootloader setting, is locked or unlocked? http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22341848&postcount=4

Thanks.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] profyler:
My battery died wierdly like some people have reporting here for a while. It had 8% left and then simply died instantly.

Now i also think that Lollipop messed something up with the battery. Are Z1 users also reporting this thing?

PS; battery whas removed from hidden menu ...damn
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] awojtas:
My battery drops normally I think, except it stays at 4% for ages. I can often get half an hour of wifi web browsing use at 4% without it dropping further.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] aakash43:
Same for me. My battery also stuck at 4% but that was in kitkat also.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] ASLANOO:
Bootloader unlock allowed: Yes

So not unlocked. Right?

I never intended to unlock anyway, just wanted to have root for adblocking and titanium backup.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] profyler:
Mine dropped normally till yesterday... Hope it will be fixed somehow.... MIne also stays at 4% for a very long time, but i didnt notice if it still does this on LP.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] uchihakurtz:
Wow, holy crap that thing rocks. Thanks for the info dude! Yeah I only root for those too and removing some system apps. :D
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] deboopi2:
I tried 2 versions of lollipop right now, one is a pre-rooted german version and the other one is a clean italian one.

On the first one the play store crashes right after booting and when going to the settings of es file explorer the app stops.

When running the italian one I do not have problems with the play store but the es file explorer settings still cause es file explorer to stop.

Anybody else with this problem and how to solve it?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] BlackArtsInc:
[MENTION=4337845]deboopi2[/MENTION] Yes.Use Root Explorer!

Not sent by me.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] penicks:
it's been released for over a month, does anyone have a compelling reason for using lollipop?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] skyhirules:
The ES issue is obviously a bug. It happens to me too, with the unrooted Greek Lollipop. But if you 1st tap that "t-shirt" icon (themes) next to the settings one, then tapping the settings doesn't crash the app! :p So that's a way of accesing the settings.

I've already sent a report to them. Hopefully they'll do something about it.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] play3man:
Hi guys, a little of topic but can someone here post SemcCameraUI.apk from stock lollipop? Thanks!
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] sinple:
No reason to use since "move to sd" doesn't work properly.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Gikey1:
Maybe that's why Sony stopped releasing LP update (has anyone seen LP update for any customization for last 7 - 10 days?) and they are going to release in a few days (I hope) a new one with bugfixes.

My wife has got Z3 Compact and it has got another LP update.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] patoberli:
Last week Monday was Switzerland Customized.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Gikey1:
Almost last week. It was 8th of May, 10 days ago.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Giargo:
I can confirm that man, my customization is Central Europe 4 and I'm still with kitkat.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] profyler:
I would also recomend for those who didnt update to LP to wait for the bugfree version. it should come next week since its already certified.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] patoberli:
Just got a bug and it's confirmed by Swisscom (provider) and Sony also confirmed it to them.

If somebody sends you an MMS (here tested from an iPhone), you get it every following day again at the same time. Only workaround is to disable MMS on provider side.

Sony confirmed the bug to Swisscom and it should be fixed in the next update. Z3 (and variants) is also affected by this.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] speig:
MMS? Does anyone still use this? (Or indeed, did ever)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] rjkmadison:
Of course people still use MMS - for pics, large messages, and group messages.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] speig:
And i thouht that's what the "smart" in "smartphone" is for.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] patoberli:
Not if you are in a foreign country (where you sometimes don't have data, or at extremely high costs) or if the sender uses an iPhone and writes more than 160 letters :S

Downloading 14.5.A.0.270 OTA right now. My CDA is Nordic. Locked, unrooted
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] profyler:
Cool. Tell us if exit all button is there please.

Other new things?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] DomusX10:
Nice to know...please, tell us first impressions and if previous bugs are resolved!
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] s.t.a.r.s:
Xperia Z1 update (14.5.A.0.270) changelog

– Ensured the lock screen / notification bar doesn’t indicate “no service” when the device has coverage

– Added a Sony feature; bringing back the “close-all-button” in the activity menu, so you can easily close all apps at once

– Unblocked devices with server policies (such as Exchange Active Sync for e-mail), to enable the new Lollipop lock-screen notifications

– Ensured the LED light is lit across all sound modes – and no longer offset by “silent”

– Made the necessary fixes to enable the easy movement of content from internal memory to external microSD card (something we saw affecting a few devices)

– Improved messaging functionality in Ultra stamina mode – some conversations could not be opened before in Ultra stamina mode

http://www.xperiablog.net/2015/05/2...14-5-a-0-270-starts-rolling-today/#more-34189
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] benitorios:
Finally rebooted so I can give first impressions.

Exit all button is there (looks similar to the notifications dismiss button)

Smooth scrolling, nice animations overall.

Too early to talk about battery life,phone needs to settle and I'll hard reset it tonight anyway

Status bar color is ugly but can be changed with simple theme (I'm using All Black)

A lot less available space on phone memory
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] DomusX10:
Thank you very much for faster response. I'd like to know impressions about camera/video, sound and bluetooth audio streaming, contacts and messages app (Fast or not?) and overall system performances.

Take your time, but let we know. I'm still on KK and don't want to switch to LP until a lot of users tell me "now it's time"

...because the last firmware have a lot of problems and seems a freak that status bar color.

At this point, if it's true, I'll wait android 5.1.1 if Sony confirm that even for Z1C...
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Steffe89:
Same here. Rooted though. Let the fire begin... :p
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Rempty:
(14.5.A.0.270)

Is fixed the proximity sensor on calls?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] profyler:
i never had this on LP... (did hard reset thou)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] rjkmadison:
I have had the issue as well with .242. The screen stays on during a call, and my check/ear move things around - usually, it is just the notification shade pulled down.

I did a full reset, including a "software repair" with PC Companion and re-installed/re-configured everything from scratch.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] mosespl:
same thing in my case i think its a hardware problem...
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] rjkmadison:
I don't recall having the issue under KK. Though, I don't make many voice calls and most of the time it's with a BT headset.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] mosespl:
if you will go back to KK you will noticed that statusbar on KK doesnt drop down automatically i mean it automatically roll up if your ear touch your screen and it couse drop down your status bar but it automatically roll up but in LP is the same situation as Z3 on KK so if you touch the statusbar it roll down automatically but on Z3 proximity sensor works great but a lot of Z1C has an issue with proximity. In oticed that in my phone. Sorry for my english but i hope that you understand what i mean:)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] marsx1984:
14.5.A.0.270 now availalble in xperiafirm for a lot of regions

LE I updated with PC companion (I had .242 Customised UK flashed with flashtool). Close all button is there. Sound with headphones may be a little louder compaired to the first lollipop release , but I could be wrong(I was in a very quiet room when I tested it). Other than these observations all works well as before.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] play3man:
And what about 60fps?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] :
I can tell you that the camera since the LP update sucks. Iam very disappointed, the pictures which Ive took inside the house are milky and are looking like I had oil or water in my lense, but there is nothing and the lense is clean. Iam very angry about that! I was that proud about sonys camera and now Iam very disappointed. Do someone else have the problem too?

Should I try to install another Lollipop Version? Have the libanese version 5.0 on my sony. Bluetooth and everything else is working fine and without Problems. Its only the camera which ia very bad since the Update. [emoji20]
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] aakash43:
I had it also on kitkat so for me it's not a big deal. I think its more a hardware problem.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] benitorios:
Ok, I've done a hard reset and reinstalled all apps, tweaked my settings etc. so I can give initial impressions of .270

Good:

Smooth throughout, nice material design (like that Sony didn't mess with it too much)

Android default time picker (the clock one, not the scrollable thingy anymore)

Smart unlock

Battery seems to be on par with what I got on Kk, but will need more cycles to confirm

Shortcuts to frequent contacts in dialer

Bads

Contacts button in dialer very small, was much easier to access through a swipe before

Mobile data disabled notification still there, always have to dismiss it manually

Seems to have a bug when connecting to Pc over Wi-Fi: there's a notification that pops up even when not trying to connect

Haven't tested the camera yet

Will add more impressions as I keep tinkering
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] aakash43:
Is close all button included or not and screen mirroring bug fixed or not. And what about stamina mode which drain battery much faster when switched on.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] dbuechner:
The close all button should be included:
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] grisu59964:
Is there some improvement with memory leaks? Does the system still eat 700-900 MB of RAM after a time?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] balanced_emotions:
I have tested the latest .270, actually it was a short one. Basically I tested the camcorder 60fps thing. Checked the RAM usage and the close all button.

Well I am sad to say that the camcorder is still recording at 30 fps while 60 fps is checked. I checked it on VLC Player on my laptop.

Ram usage looks good.

And I like the style of the Close-All button.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] profyler:
as far as i know memory has been fixed only in 5.1.1.

We will receive 5.1.1 guyz, dont worry.

Edit: Aparently, sony already fixed that.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] profyler:
my stamina works just fine, not draining faster when switched on. Battery in LP is the same on KK.

camera is worst on low light condition , thats for sure, but with light it still good.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] jokamaciek:
check THIS thread
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] profyler:
The thing is that sony did something with the camera algoritm on LP. Low light pictures has a strong noise reduction algoritm that makes the pictures look like washed even with locked bootloader.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] aakash43:
Try to switch off stamina mode you will surely find the difference. First after update when i switched on stamina mode it was showing only 13 Hours remaining, but someone told me in this thread thanks to him after switching off stamina battery backup increased. After some day i again switched on stamina mode and it is showing 2 days left but over night battery drain is 10% +.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] mandashi:
hi guys. i've tried flashing the new release 14.5.A.0.270, both baltic and nordic. every time i get an error, don't know what's the problem. reset and/or flashing from kitkat = always the same error. uploaded my log from flashtool. any help would be appreciated. thanks.

There is no memory leak in SONY lollipop firmware. It was fixed by SONY . Stop posting false information !

If you look ate the 10th post it already clarified that "The purpose of xposed-sonyfix is not to fix a memory leak, but to prevent bootloops on the 2nd and subsequent boots with the framework installed."

[Xperia Z1 Compact General] balanced_emotions:
Honestly I think it is worse than before and the vibration is weaker. :(
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] grisu59964:
I'm absolutely sure that there are still problems with memory leaks, although Sony fixed the ColorFade memory leak. I have to restart my device every day or at least every two days because the system requires so much RAM (up to 900 MB) that the apps with notifications are killed when I use lots of apps in multitasking. I can only see the problems with my device. I saw a discussion on reddit and some other people had the same problem.

It is correct that the Xposed module discussed in the thread does not do anything in the Sony firmware, but it is not false information that there are still problems in the Sony firmware.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] profyler:
German out. just installed.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] aakash43:
Any one received .270 in India.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] camaro322hp:
Maybe on your phone/installation, but not on all of them. Mine has been running without restart for 2 days now, and system is still using between 400-500 MB and not increasing.

---------- Post added at 07:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:40 AM ----------

If I'm rooted on 242 with dual recovery, is there an easy way to upgrade to 270 while retaining root and keeping all my apps installed? Can I make a PRF and just flash the system partition?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Altherion:
Darn!! Think will be mandatory look for a decent sound mod... Shame on you Sorny :rolleyes:
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] einfachgaer:
I can't confirm this. My phone runs for 288 hours straight without reboot on .242. And system consumes around 700mb which is absolutely fine. But I've done some heavy debloating, maybe that helps me out.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] grisu59964:
Well, that's nice for those people who don't have problems with RAM. I would be happy if my device behaved like yours. The reason for the misbehavior is not clear to me. Users with and without root and with or without Xposed have this problem. Not all of them.

Today, the memory is okay and the next day my device becomes unusable.

This is new to me since Lollipop. I already debloated my device.

To make it clear: the problem becomes apparent as soon as I use multiple larger applications at once. The system kills persistent applications (e. g. my sports tracker that runs in background), because it requires lots of RAM and not enough space is left for my apps.

Users who use a single application or two may be happy, but for me, Lollipop leads to critical memory usage nearly daily. 700 to 900 MB is not a nice memory usage, as the system requires much less on other devices or Android versions.

Hello guys,

The update for my customization (Central Europe 4) is finally available (checked on XperiFirm) but no notification on PC Companion and OTA as well. Is there anything wrong or I just need to wait?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] profyler:
Did u factory reset it after upgrade?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] grisu59964:
Yes, I wiped my device during the installation. But I will try it again with .270. Maybe I will be among the lucky users next time.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Redstarr1:
Maybe small apps have something to do with memory usage? I disabled it on my Z1c, removed the system app, but I disabled a bunch of other stuff as well. Memory usage is fine here, I have to hard reboot maybe once a week, but apps never get killed.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] grisu59964:
Small apps were removed completely when I debloated my system. So I assume they are innocent at least on my device.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] skyhirules:
I'd previously read an official post by the Xperia Blog staff that the video recording option of 1080p@60fps in the camera was put there by mistake in the .227 firmware and that it'd be removed in the next update (because the device is not supposed to support it...).

I just installed the new .270 firmware but the option is still there. I haven't checked if it actually now records in 60fps (it didn't in the .227 firmware). Can someone confirm if it does?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] mosespl:
Is this normal that on LP battery drain overnight is about 10%? Very sad because on Jb battery drain was 1-2% overnight maybe something is wrong with my fw? I have clean install of 270 general Bal customization
