I just did a factory reset of my phone and now no problem changing my lock screen background.

For those who face any issue after updating to 4.4, I suggest you do a factory reset as well. It is actually quite common that after a major update, there might be some compatibility issue with the new fw.

had it for one day. love it so far but

1) ring tone is soft for some reason
2) they have yet to fix the auto speakerphone when answering phone calls issue
*
After I did the factory reset last night, my ring tone volume got louder. Now I only need to set volume to 50%, previously need to set around 70%

I went to the volume settings, adjust the slider to the left and then to max again (although the slider was at max before).
After this adjustment, all sound volume went back normal.
Can you try if this fix your sound problem?
There's a limit as to how detail images can be.
I notice noise improvement in high ISO usage. Also if you try to use manual ISO in manual mode, the liveview is smooth. No more laggy liveview.

I did took some pic b4 update to 4.4. But due to in hurry ( cause too kan cheong to update to 4.4) most are out of focus. Only 2 set can use for comparison.

When I got time to crop I post up ya. From what I see, SA mode got improvement. Manual mode not much different.

comparison picture.
from what i see, superior auto mode got improvement. less noise and sharper pic. manual mode also got slight improvement.
colour wise, i think fw 4.4 capture better as the phone itself is of yellowish, not white. and the black number on the dialpad also darker. so fw 4.4 got more accurate in terms of colour.

left fw 4.3, right fw 4.4

Superior Auto mode:

Manual Mode (all settings auto):

Meaning it's louder now after factory reset?
Perhaps every update should be accompanied with a factory reset to prevent any issues.
*
Yeah... Typo. It's louder now.

Not sure whether is it 4.4.... tried same method but not working. Gonna try ask in xda

Btw if i were to do a factory reset, how to restore all the apps and settings?
*
I just use the stock app backup and restore. It will backup your contact, messages and most of your settings.

It can also backup your apps and data

overall it's better to update to kitkat or not? seems like more negative reviews here...

Got some changes which I don't like also like the gps toggle. But overall I'm still satisfied with it. If you ask me, still worthwhile to update to kk.

Y not you update and try for yourself? If you face any stability issue or issue, better to do factory reset. If you still don't like kk, can always flash back to 4.3.

Nope, but it is the same as doing a repair with the Sony Companion PC software? I don't wanna go through the same thing again, man... Among of all the problems right now, I just wanna fix the flap/cover first. It is really frustrating and dangerous.

i too suggest u do a factory reset. the process will be faster than repairing in the pc companion. but u do need to backup and restore back all your data and apps la.

again, i would say it is quite common for some apps or settings to cause some instability or incompatibility after a major update. any smartphone may have this problem and many sifu will also recommend to do a factory reset if you face any problem after major update.

i myself face the problem of cannot change the lockscreen wallpaper. and after reset it's ok. and surprisingly my ringtone volume also got louder too. thus far no problem with kitkat after factory reset.

battery indicator and battery stamina mode icon changed. for me i like it as it save more space in the status bar
notification bar changed. may need some time to get use to it
new themes
louder ring tone. so far my case only. dunno why some others is softer
some games will be displayed in full screen. the nav bar will be hidden

got some other settings also. but to me not so important

I have no choice but to do a factory reset, I've done it earlier just now, now everything is STILL working fine. Also, once again, my apps data are all lost. I wanted to do a backup of all that using Helium app, but I just couldn't get it to work. Jeez, I was so fed up. I have to do everything again, like customizing my home screens and all. I have one last question here. Like what I'm facing, my micro USB charging port cover is not doing its job well these days. It is covered in the warranty? By the way, these are the 2 shots I took yesterday at the SONY shop in Mid Valley using the new SONY XPERIA Z1 COMPACT. I was rushing to leave, so I couldn't took my phone out and take the same shot to give everyone a comparison.

Using the Superior Auto mode:

Using the Manual mode, all 20.7 megapixels:

Well if you read the description on helium backup in play store, it did mention that it have issue with Sony Xperia including Xperia s and z. So chances are it also have issue with z1

Easiest is still using the stock backup and restore app.
