Are the Z1 using same panel as the Z/ZL? Pictures taken with my iPad. The Z1 seems to have better contrast levels. XReality and Bravia engine is off. Brightness set to max. One of them is a Z1, another is ZL.

Z1 is with 92% battery.

From my comparison prior to my purchase, i'd say the z1 display quality is between z/zl/sp and zu.

i never do anything drastic, that incl flashing other firmware.
currently still using the stock firmware when it was out of the box.
i've installed Titanium backup after root & only backed up some game data things...
*
That's weird... Maybe some apps you installed is preventing the update...

If still can't, try factory reset, root and then ota again. You have already backup everything via titanium backup right.

QUOTE(jloi @ Dec 7 2013, 09:33 AM)
AP set right? Most probably those apps from HK

Yes, your ap set maybe coming from hk. Hk fw by default comes with a few Chinese apps.

aiyoo...sounds like a lot of job. not backup anything yet but i guess i can try since i already started my long  offweek.
then maybe try the xda root method.

or can i just unroot from the superuser thing & try the xda method instead b4 doing factory reset?
*
Sure can... But I myself also root using vroot. Successfully update via ota. After that only I change the supersu. No problem at all...

As I just gotten this phone a few days back, the fw on it is .257. Shouldn't it be .534 (older ver) ?

I've read that the .257 ver heats up less compared to the .534 ver. But my phone heats up a lot after only 10 mins of playing pvz2. I cannot imagine how much worse is it for the .534 version  shakehead.gif
*
Haha... Don't let the simple game play of pvz2 fool u... It's actually a very graphics intense game.

So it's normal that my phone comes with fw 257 right? I thought all stock fw for z1 should be 534. Haha. Cos if not mistaken 534 can root, and 257 can't.

How do you all cool / lessen the heating? I'm still using this phone nakedly. Imo will be worse after I bought a book casing lo whistling.gif
*
I think the heat is normal. So far I've been playing games for 30mins, the phone got hot but still Ok. But I'll never charge myphone if it's hot.

What bar are you referring to? Gmd auto hide soft key helps you to adjust the soft keys though. Need to root.
Same game, pvz2. One with latest snapdragon 800 vs a 3 year outdated version ipod touch sweat.gif

I still love the Z1 though  wink.gif

You still don't get it. Like I said. It's different os and spec at all. Can't really compare la bro...

Addon: If ur phone is really overheating until a dangerous level, android will auto shut off ur phone and if Sony phone is working as the same as others, when ur phone goes over 60C (battery temp), some odd LED indicator sequence will shows to warn u, eg: on HTC indicator will show red green red green in sequence..

so, have anyone seen if sony have similar heat warning light?

larger megapixel doesn't mean better picture

you should've read enough reviews before getting the phone, it's a well known fact that in auto mode Z1 only take 8MP pics. Z1 work in a similar way with nokia lumias in which they use a high megapixel camera to capture a picture then compress it to lower megapixel resulting in sharper images.

but anyway if u really want to get a camera phone, the best choice now would be lumia 1020 / 1520

QUOTE(Safar @ Dec 9 2013, 01:43 PM)
Overall, the software update did give the Xperia Z1 some necessary boost as it didn’t get run over by the Galaxy Note 3 in all scenarios. In the outdoor shots, the Xperia Z1 is now a decent performer but in low light conditions, it leaves a lot to be desired.
I'm sure with more update Z1 will perform better.
*
yeah... i found out alot of people still don't quite understand this concept of compressing higher pixels pic to get sharper image. but of course it's more effective and noticeable in 1020 because it is compressed from 30/40MP down to 5MP. that's one of the reason the picture is so sharp. whereas for Z1, it's only from 20MP down to 8MP.

and from what i notice, never use superior auto. u'll get better pic using manual mode, but set everything to auto.

and yeah, i still do agree the software is killing the camera on the z1. still alot potential to be uncover with the right software.

You do know Nokia brand is owned by Microsoft now, right?

And they would not push Android for their product when they have their own OS to sell.

yeah... i guess the chances of having nokia phone with android OS is getting slimmer...
