done updating. anyone notice that in the quick settings no longer have gps toggle? is it being replaced by the location toggle?

I tried to update with PC Companionship but it says I'm already using the latest software (4.3)

Some above already notice their present, some other still no time to explore.

no longer can call quick setting, extra touch needed... ahahah

they dont have swipe with 2 finger to open the quick setting like AOSP?

haha... it did!

swipe with 1 finger open notification
swipe with 2 fingers open quick settings

haha... or extra finger needed

Oh yeah... really have...

I pull back my word then...

Using Xperia live wallpaper now.

finally done updating with 4.4 too

pc companion only?? any OTA?

I don't know much about that though, many said that it will mostly be software issue. But I don't know, my guess will be software issue as well. So far, I'm liking this new UI. And of course, I really do hope SONY release some other update as well. Like, double tap to unlock, Timeshift video and more.

Oh didnt know that.thanks for the info hahah

thanks god they din screw up this

after 4.4.2

- there is ICE setting in contacts
- weather shown in calendar, look nicer too.
- email look the same for me
- camera ar effect can shoot video too (maybe i didn't notice before) but still no zombie masquerade
- 15.5MP only in manual mode
- really like new Status Bar and Quick Settings, a lots cleaner.
- stamina mode icon change to +, a bit puzzled when i 1st saw it, wondering what is that.
- i don't want to share my antutu results but what I can say, the score is higher than before.
- cpu a bit stable now, cpu-z only show lower than 20%, before always more than 30%, same background process.
- there a shortcut to camera even when use PIN lock.
- can set auto clear notification when open the notifications panel
- can disable and enable systems icon on top bar
- can transfer certain data from internal to sd card in storage setting
- more RAM used, now only have 300+ free, before i have 500+.
- GPS setting or called Location now have different setting now. can set high, battery saving or device only
- added Printing setting
- have process stat in developer setting

(sorry if some i mention already available in 4.3 that i might not notice before)

haven't test yet,
- answering machine function

Still missing function that i would love to have
- restart phone function
- tap to wake up
- pen/pencil/glove mode

oh, just noticed another way of opening the quick settings

using just 1 finger, if u touch around the battery indication area, paused for a while then only slide your finger down, it will straight away open the quick settings

hi

i notice there is a thin and long hole at top behind on Z1, just like the call speaker hole in front. Actually what is that for ? i thought that one is 2nd speaker

Downloading the Rooted version now...
