hopefully CE gets it fast, as i don't know if a Singapore Rom could be working bad due to other carriers and mobile drivers...

2) use xperifirm to download the ftf if you're impatient like me, but its slow as hell. :(

How about too much heat??
[Xperia Z1 General] broadsword2425:
Battery drain is slower but the heat is definitely there. Cools down if you pause the LTE or whatever rigorous stuff it was doing.

The 5.1.1 is very good, however what i don't get is the audio settings, they took everything away from us, Xloud, etc. All it allows you to choose is a surround mode (studo, concert hall, etc) and change some equilizer settings. Thats it. Disappointment there. Rest is pretty awesome.
[Xperia Z1 General] amnher:
Because 4.4.4 has lesser heat on light usage but 5.0.2 gives heat too much. I hope the bug in audio is fixed wherein the audio looses quality whenever listening to music and a call suddenly comes. What happens on 5.0.2 is that the sound either looses bass or volume and I need to restart to restore the quality. I also notice that when setting the kind of headphone sometimes resets by itself even when other headphone is selected.

[MENTION=4783712]cheeze.keyk[/MENTION]

Are you sure that you're using the correct firmware version? Shouldn't be stuck on 5.0.2

I recommend downloading a pre-rooted one from the xperia z1 general forum (which i used and flashing was problem-less for me and i now have 5.1.1 :D
[Xperia Z1 General] broadsword2425:
Its showing on always because its always scanning for wifi networks, its how it notifies you that there's an open wifi network in the vicinity.

If you want to disable that, go to wifi--> menu --> advanced --> turn off scanning always available and you'll start to see that wifi shows on only when you turn it on. I recommend leaving it on because it doesn't harm battery (from what I've tested) and its essential for smart lock to detect location when you have your wifi off.

I have the same problem, camera crash and I can't take more pictures until reboot

did you do update with PC companion or use the prerooted flash

I can keep taking pictures but the shutter sound disappears then when I close the camera it won't open again
[Xperia Z1 General] Svrk7373:
i used flashtoo, i will try full wipe next time
[Xperia Z1 General] Geoffxx:
so basically stock rom no root so there seems to be a problem then with 5.1.1 and the camera

keep us posted as this is a major bug and may put a hold on people toing the update, lets see if anyone with a pc companion full wipe has the same issue - if so then sony need to fix this, I have already reported it on sony support as a possible bug

I am currently going back to 5.0.2 using a twrt backup so hopefully I will have my phone back

its al working fine

everything is pretty but how can we root and install cwm recovery on this update
[Xperia Z1 General] BLiapis:
Your best bet is to install an older rootable version, install TWRM and flash from the recovery the newest firmware in . zip form. Along with SU zip and Twrp zip justin case it gets removed on first bpot. You camt go wrong. If you upgrade from 5.0.1 you dont have to wipe anything at all. Just install the zips, reboot and let it rebuild.

need a little help if anyone has 10 mins to spare, I want to try something as I attempt to find out what is causing my issues with PR 5.1.1

could someone possibly send me by email the (unmodified) system/media folder and also system/etc mixer_paths.xml file from your Z1 on current flashed 5.1.1, these are the only files folders that I may have ever modified on my Z1, working on the premise that this problem is related to system sounds, it's a long shot but it will rule that aspect out

message me for email if you have the time

---------- Post added at 03:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:40 AM ----------

are there instructions somewhere ?
[Xperia Z1 General] halfblack:
Attached.

It is not unmodified mixer_paths.xml, but I can confirm it works. I tried to mod it first from within Android and it killed all sound, including reboots during incoming/outgoing calls. Did the very same mod (little boost for headphones) on PC, overwritten on the phone and voila - it worked.
[Xperia Z1 General] Geoffxx:
thx for that, could you grab that other folder and zip it up for me too system/media (just the media folder and it's subfolders), you are a star, reason being I think I may have copied some of my own sounds in there at some point

many thanks

Video playback failure and Battery drain

The good

The responsiveness is very good, some of the app launch speed is definitely better. It used to take 3 to 5 seconds on whatsapp earlier, now it opens almost immediately.

No launcher redraw.

The bad

The battery drain on 2g/ 3 g data is very high. Roughly 15 to 20 % overnight.

Had a couple of random rebooting while watching videos.

Unable to scroll the video playback in the default movies app.

It is the same problem in MX player as well, but when I change the decoder to software it works. This wasn't the case in 5.0.
[Xperia Z1 General] tracer123:
now I have 15% per 1h.

look at this, SOT is max 15 minutes.

[Xperia Z1 General] hontouni:
Did a clean install of 5.1.1, so far for me the phone runs way smoother and runs a lot cooler because of this. And of course the side effect of this is much better battery life from what I've seen. I work on the go every day and use gps maps/chrome/music streams a lot, while popping it in a charger when I'm in my car the last 2 days I have not seen it go below 90% after 8 hours of work, where on the old lollipop build I was getting horrible battery drain and even with charging it would get way hotter and at the end of some days would be down to 20%. Overall feels like 4.4 but with the lollipop features.
[Xperia Z1 General] Hyde_man:
Hi, how do I do a clean install? Is this just factory resetting the phone before updating with PCC or do I have to flash the ftf file with another tool?
[Xperia Z1 General] cheeze.keyk:
Hi. you can just wipe before flashing the ftf, there's a menu at the right side of the flashtool, if you want to wipe or not. you can tick those. :good:

Android 5.1.1 uses NuPlayer instead of Awesome player. you can change this in developers option. For me, It solved the problem of freezing in video playback.

1 customized and 2 branded firmwares.

If you can't wait anymore and don't want to root your phone because you only want to be on 5.1.1 you can use XperiFirm to download your needed firmware. Then use flashtool to convert it to a ftf file and flash it on the phone.

I didn't see an improvement, but both my 2.4G and 5G signal levels are just fine (>-60 dBm on a 15yd signal). I would be inclined to think there's a problem with your specific handset - chipset issue, bad antenna connection, something like that.

Hi,

Hopefully you'll know what's behind this? Nfc has been around for a while and uses are kicking in.....contactless payments being the main thing I see. So, why doesn't every phone have NFC?!

Am I missing something? Apple Pay is here. Google Pay is warming up. Surely NFC is about to become a much bigger thing but phone options are still very limited. What's your thoughts?!
[NFC Hacking] ranixon:
Because only a few people really want it. I rarely saw complaint about the lack of NFC on reviews, or sometimes it's only a minor detail.
[NFC Hacking] [NUMINIT]:
A lack of awareness rather than a lack of will, I'd say. Most of my friends have gone "WHAT THE HELL IS THIS WITCHCRAFT" when they see me sharing something with my girlfriend via NFC.

Hi,

I'm currently running B5.9.1 on my H60-L12 but I have notification problems with whatsapp and gmail.

When the phone go to deep sleep these apps doesnt' receive the notification.

With emui 3.0 I had the same problem but I resolved using the method founded by the user palasix deleting the file /data/cust/xml/gsm_app_list.xml.

With emui 3.1 this trick don't work.

Any one found a solution for the notification under emui 3.1 ?

Regards
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] zentico:
Same here! When I open WhatsApp, it updates, but no notifications when it's not in focus.

Tried these fixes to no avail (except the push fix app):

https://www.whatsapp.com/faq/en/android/20887936

If messages are still taking too long to reach your phone

We recommend that you:

Reboot the phone (Turn it OFF then ON).

Try a different connection. If you are connected to Wi-Fi, try Mobile Data or vice versa.

Reset app preferences by going to Settings > Apps > Menu Button > Reset app preferences.

Make sure to leave your phone plugged into a power source (to prevent power saving mode from activating) when connected to Wi-Fi while a mobile data connection is unavailable.

Log out from WhatsApp Web by going to WhatsApp > Menu Button > WhatsApp Web > Logout from all computers.

Try to install Push Notifications Fixer and see if it helps.

If you are often connected to Wi-Fi, check your Wi-Fi sleep policy (Settings > Wi-Fi > Menu Button > Advanced > Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep) and make sure it is set to Always.

Delete and reinstall WhatsApp.

Uninstall any task killers. These will hinder the app from receiving messages when you are not in the app.

Launch the Hangouts app, press Menu Button, and sign out of all your accounts (tap the account, scroll down and select Sign out). Then re-launch Hangouts and sign back in to your accounts.
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] mnm77:
Try updating to the latest WhatsApp through official FAQ WhatsApp website. Also make sure WhatsApp is protected.

I have another problem which I could not find solution after updating to EMUI 3.1. I could not change the notification sound in WhatsApp. Anyone got solution?

Yes whatsapp and gmail are set as protected but notifications stop when phone goes in deep sleep. If you install an app as system instead you cannot see the app in the protected menu, but the result is the same... no notificatio when phone is in standby
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] mnm77:
Try NOT to install whatsapp as system app, and set it as protected. Also set it in Startup manager. Just in case this will help, protect Hangouts as well. Some google apps could cause trouble in Lollipop notifications, if restricted. But these problems are not common among the user of Honor 6. Some might have, some don't.

I still have problem cannot change notification sound in whatsapp.
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] nothingman1976:
As i said before the first thing I have do is a standard installation (no system app), with all enabled by the menu (protected app, notification,startup) but I had the problem.

Unfortunally this problem is quite common not only on honor devices but also with other Huawei devices...

Inviato dal mio H60-L12 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] mnm77:
Yeah, you are right, with EMUI 3.1 there are some unresolved problems about notifications in some Huawei devices. What I meant by 'not common' is that the symptom might not always the same for all Honor devices. My Honor 6 (H60 L12 EMUI 3.1 Lollipop 5.1.1) always get notifications normally, only rarely get delayed whatsapp notifications. But I could not change sound notification in whatsapp, do you have this problem?

Since the symptoms are not always the same, it could be due to settings/bugs in Lollipop and EMUI 3.1.
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] mnm77:
I got an update today (around 70mb) which solve the problem cannot change sound notification in whatsapp.

Build number: EMUI3.1_H60-L12_5.9.16
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] nothingman1976:
Same problem even with the stable B532....

Does anybody has a solution for the notification problem under lollipop ?
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] palasix:
This isssue is not related to the protection of apps or wifi/mobile net settings.

and I don't why it happens mainly on H60-L12.

It happens with all apps using google play services even if they are protected.

I noted the same for instance with telegram on emiui 3.1.

On emiui 3.0 the issue was solved deleting the file gsm_app_list.xml in data/cust/xml

but such solution does not work anymore on emui 3.1.

Now we need to find a new solution, any new idea? :confused:
