How come so may of you having so many problems with the new firmware ? did you root your phone ?

i had NO problems whatsoever and mine is an AP unit.
*
yeah... i also don't quite understand why...

in fact with 757, i find it to be better than JB... volume got louder, ram usage less, camera quick launch working, battery so far i think better than JB

for those who face problem, these are my suggestion:
1. if only certain apps having problem, try uninstall and re-install the apps. if still cannot, try contacting the apps developer. like wechat, i think alot of user complain about it. so i think most probably is the apps itself not really compatible with Sony's kk.
2. if whole phone behaving weird, try do a factory reset. with this, try not to backup too many of your apps, only those essential ones and those that you need to backup the data only. if there are some problem with the apps, chances are when u restore back those apps, it will still be causing the same problem to your phone. do a factory reset and redownload those apps that you need.
3. if factory reset can't do, use the repair function in PC companion
4. If still having same problem, i suggest u to download the firmware and flash it via flashtool manually
5. if still cannot, can try other country's firmware or just downgrade back to JB (but recently 1 user face even more problem after downgrade to JB, dunno why)

well, these are just my suggestion. good luck!

i.e you snap a pic in portrait but it appears as like....... rotated.

ok. something like

you took pic in portrait orientation. but when u view. it's rotated ACW, so basically the pic is sideways when viewing.
I sent mine to Amcorp one twice (don't ask why. HAHA!)

They don't have loan unit though. (got la, but limited and you can consider it as don't have also)

Bro.. this are the apps running in my phone for now (refer attachments)... pls take a look... and also everyone... let me know your opinions... Nt sure if these are the apps causing my phone battery to drain/overheat..
*
i don't think we can tell much from those screenshot regarding battery drain

in the past i use wakelock detector to see if there's any apps keep running and awaking my phone. but due to kitkat restriction, the apps no longer working vmad.gif

maybe u can use other apps to monitor like betterbatterystat (if i remember correctly). i myself have not use it b4 la

Hi all,
New user here. Got an update to .681 firmware so I just update. Then I check for .757 update but it says I'm on latest firmware.
Do I need to use pc companion to update to .757 firmware?
Reading all those negative comments, is it advisable to update to .757?
Mine is ori sme set. Thanx for reply..
*
757 is release to fix the sound bug found in 681
To me, 757 is the best fw thus far

wonder wat sony doing with the 2 recent updates ?

.681 make my wechat worst .

.757 hear is worst then .681

So mean we juz stay with .681 or before .681 and not go to .757 and wait for newer version?

correct me if im wrong.
*
Well, for my case 757 is better than 681. In fact it's even better than previous 4.3 jb fw.

But this is my case and I am aware many user face problem since kitkat. Not sure why.

File size is huge, the .APK file itself may seem small. After installing it, I am required to download another huge 680+MB update. I don't know if that's actually normal because I don't usually play heavy games with my phone. I only play games like Flappy Bird or Threes! for example. But playing this new Spiderman 2 game makes my phone go freaking hot. Hot on both the back and the front/screen.
*
it is normal. many games will download additional files after we install the APKs

hey, just wondering is there any major issues with the Z1? Im planning to buy an AP set Z1 around this week.

or should I wait a few more weeks later for Z2 to be officially released and hopefully get a better deal for an ori Z1? hmm.gif but then if buy next month have GST and stuff already haih.
*
There's no major issue with z1.

Hardware wise, Most people only complain about the viewing angle of the screen. If you don't mind that then it is a really solid phone to have.

Software... Many complain about the recent kitkat update got problem. But I too didn't face any problem till now.

If you can wait and have the budget, I suggest you to get z2.

thanks for the input guys. I don't have the budget to get a Z2 tbh. sad.gif

what a shame, looks like I have to cross out the Z1 out of my list. This actually leaves me without any option hahahh, except probably the Z1 Compact within my RM1.5k budget.
*
Hope you don't get my message wrongly. Z1 all a solid phone to get more of you are in a budget. I am still enjoying it everyday and have no plans to change phone anytime soon.

Z1 compact only smaller screen and battery.

yes i'm rooted, upgraded to .757, locked bootloader, try to install on odex & deodex rom, all cannot.
and guess what? after several attempt on installing & running the portrait retouch & 4k video, both of my camera become malfunctioned! it always show error "No camera detect" whenever I start the camera, even in superior auto or manual mode. Try flashing back to prev stock rom (.257, .136, .290) + multiple factory resets, now my main camera is back to normal, but front camera still not functioning. so DO NOT TRY the portrait retouch & super video camera, the only working camera apps is background defocus, the rest dont install them!
*
After flashing back to stock rom also cannot work? Wow... This is serious. And I tot all these while if there's anything wrong with the mod software I just flash back to stock rom and everything will be back to normal...

Hi guys. Just wanna share my experience.
Been a Galaxy S user starting from S2, S3 and S4.
My last Sony phone is the legendary X10.
I changed to Sony Z1 due to my S4 tends to be hot.
But now I realized that my Z1 gets hot the same when used. I can feel it while holding it. And not after prolonged usage like my S4.
Using the latest .757 firmware.
Any advice on this?
*
Not sure what your expectation is. All phone gets hot when used. To me it is normal. Don't forget z1 processor is clocked higher speed than s4. And I think glass and aluminum is of better heat conductor than plastic.

Try checking what apps is always running at background. Also if you are using Chrome, try switching to other browser. Chrome, while fast and snappy, is a heat generator and battery drainer.

i am using nilkin glass sp. so far satisfied with it. not to say fingerprint-proof, but fingerprint resistant and it's much easier to wipe off any fingerprint.
