True hmm.gif I didn't see any root tutorial on XDA forum
*
there is no direct root software now for fw .257. but there is another way. that is to flash previous fw .534, root, and then update OTA back to fw.257.

u can still put up this method in 1st page, but add a warning to all on the chinese root software (Vroot and Kingo) pending investigation.

btw, this is a quite details guide to manually flash other fw. can add into 1st page as well

for those on bandwidth hungry user like me, get surfmore 75 + extra 5gb quota + spotify premium by maxis + astro on the go extra...

that's 5gb+5gb+150mb+2gb (exclusive for Astro on the go viewing)
only paying less than rm150 per month, since i seldom do calls and SMS. even go for SMS rebate bundle at rm8/mth.
for calls, go skype or viber then..pamper the phone with lots of data laugh.gif

What is spotify?

cause i see the most went up 17mb on speed test nia

and how you guys root the phone after the firmware update. vroot macam cannot detect liao
*
You can't root directly on fw 257. You'll need to downgrade to previous fw 534, then root it with vroot, and then update back to fw 257 via OTA.

i also facing same problem... mic and loud speaker uncommon from others phone
*
dunno what u mean by uncommon.

but i do feel that the loudness of the speaker varies depending on apps. some games i play very loud, some very soft (did not encounter this in my previous phone)

pvz2 - overall sound and music very soft (even though volume set to max in the game)
hill climb racing - music loud, sound very soft
transformers legend - overall very loud
other games like COC, ice age, Jurassic park, sounds ok

i think it may also depend on the developer of the apps to optimize their apps for z1. considering that z1 is yet to be launched in US, so i think some developer don't even bother to optimize their apps for z1. just my thoughts.

Qx10/qx100 are not real camera. Still some flaw coz function limited. That is why i ask.

Who say hp camera cant win against real camera? Not most of them but still from hp camera can defeat them.
Lumia 1020. Just cant zoom far only.

QX10/100 not real camera but the spec i think is already on par / better than many compact camera.

still lack some feature is true la like flash and OIS.

both also real camera, see what sensor both used , same like DC, but both js like a toy more then camera only, hahah.......

haha... dunno where it should be categorize la...

btw, i have a question about QX10/100...

in normal compact camera, we use to snap a few shots, off it, walk to next destination, switch it on and snap a few pic again, and so on...

so for QX10/100, in this case each and every time when we switch off the camera and smartphone, the connection link will disconnect? when we want to snap a few shots again and switch on both units, we have to pair it again?

if u switch off camera n smartphone sure want to connect again , but if phone js in standby mode in dark screen then no need, js press the phone power button then uplock the screen then can used again , that's why i said this both like toy more then a camera, but photo quality sure very nice , hope next firmware will more better,haha
*
oh yeah, sorry, i don't really mean switch off the phone la. i wanted to say put the phone in stand by mode as what u explained. tongue.gif

so for the camera? is there also a standby button on it so that we can save the battery when not in use? or it have to be on all the time so we won't lose the connection?
