cos i saw some of the existing owner also re-register, i also follow lor

I tried with htc and samsung also cannot..

What i found is pictures from samsung phone will become playstore link.. not sure is it the S-beam that causing it.. but i've no issue transferring pictures to and from htc phone..

Edit: Previously from samsung to htc also same thing happen..

Just tested from Samsung S3.. turn off S-beam.. successfully transfer pictures to and from Z1..

same.. samsung cant sbeam to sony.. but sony can send things through s-beam to samsung.. im not sure why.. the only way is send through bluetooth by picking up devices manually..

so, maybe the Sbeam is only meant for samsung to samsung only?

im not sure.. most probably its the samsung gallery apps problem.. tried with my friends many.. htc and sony to sony no problems.. only samsung to sony will appear google links.. might be gallery problem.. nvm try others photo album apps la..

This my friend is some amazing shots ive seen so far on Z1

I was there for Avicii too but engrossed in his musics after all its a rave

by the way to those who are asking how to check if you are rooted.

Download Root Checker Basic..it should tell you if youre rooted.

Any app(or tips) that can help to improve our usage experience on our Z1?

Still pretty new to Android and not sure if there is any good tips especially for Sony Z1.

thanks

then just stick with 8mp. 8mp seems to produce better pictures

for me i will use 16:9 if i have to take landscape pics. otherwise i will stick with 4:3

haha not really. just busy changing the ISO according to the lighting, and i was a bit tired anyway

tried the metering and focus modes as well. in the end decided to stick with centered metering and single AF.

multi AF tend to focus at the wrong spot, always have to refocus

haha you should spend some time to take some shots as well otherwise you won't know what settings is suitable the next time u go for a concert like this. when im tired i just take my phone out, play with the settings and snap

guys, i cant root my device
using vroot, then something they want to install in my phone..really confused

can some1 guide me?

1) what fw is your phone? if your phone fw is on .257, u'll need to flash previous fw .534 in order to root

2) have u enable the usb debugging mode under developer option?

if u have check both the above and still can't root, u'll need to describe more of the problem u facing

yup, mine is fw .257
how to flash to .534?
issit update the phone?

Add me to owners list
Black colour.

534 is older firmware vs 257. Use flashtool to flash the 534 ftf firmware file. Than use vroot to root n update through OTA to 257. Before that use supersu pro or voodoo ota rootkeeper to preserve root first before update through OTA.

yes indeed s-beam is only for samsung phone.. the generic for all android one is call android beam..
most of the time i failed to send it thru one.. but just now when i test on my frens s3.. im managed to send to and from samsung and sony.. but i switched off s-beam to test..

boss, dont need to do the preservation step.. root will stay after OTA..

actually i did not use any rootkeeper. i flash .534, root using vroot and then straight away OTA update to .257.
root still preserve

ya lor...dont be a tunggul..rugi saja byr tiket mahal going to dance concert. i'm not a fan of Avicii & his music but cant stop admiring those fireworks shot. great job!
