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.

Same here. For me, this latest firmware update fixed pretty much everything for my phone. But only after doing a factory reset, that's all.

Totally agreed... before 757, my Z1 was perfect ... grrrrr.... have to charge my phone 2 or 3 times a day now... shit..

yes bro.. done.. 2 times.. still the same, no changes.

Noted.. will try this later...

Grrrr... damn it.. have to stick with kitkat la then.... sony oh sony :'( why me..

i didnt even do a factory reset. i have to agree the initial kit kat upgrade screwed up the camera and auto loudspeaker switch during incoming calls but the latest updates fixed everything.

will i sell my z1 ? yes....probably bcos i want to upgrade to z2....hehehe

So, have you tried the new Google Camera yet?

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!

thanks! was searching for APK since it wasnt available at our country

i would say battery life on 757 is better than jellybean.
overall its still better but just with some slight glitch/bug. it will only get better in future

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)

Tell me if you experience the same problem as I do.

...never have this issue b4

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..




Attached thumbnail(s)

ah same problem :/ as u said d gyrometer seem not working

Damn. What do you think? It's the app itself or it is not fully compatible for our phones yet.

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

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

Noted.. will look for that app now... thanks bro

Not yet. is it preinstalled or need to install seperately?
