Aiks... 1 less reason to root now...

Why? I put the setting to device only, work fine with waze, sygic and navigation even inside the house (near to window).

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

focus button to turn screen on not working anymore in kitkat?

I don't get it, what did you guys mean? You mean you can't unlock your phone into camera mode by holding down the shutter button?

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:

Tagging ZeneticX as you're the only 'oldest feg' around here I could remember, other users feel free to reply.
Have you pressed your phone screen on the edges i.e. outside the bezel, on the body cover/casing/housing with a bit more force and see your screen has the LCD (liquid) bubbling? as in... you see the ripple.

Mine appears on the right hand side, just slightly above the power button.

Left side none.

Yes but every other edge don't have this problem

I mean, they're not as sensitive as the power button side.
Other than that, you remember that your Chrome will auto zoom/lose touch when surfing?

Not sure who had that , they were scrolling using Chrome, and the page will auto zoom. This may be a fix.

I've done the steps but not yet tested. I know that after I ug'd to 4.4 then my issue became slightly more severe cos even when typing it occurs.

How you guys do a full backup?
Will it backu. full data? As in whatsapp conversation etc

I saw my friend's Nexus 5 spigen casing, it's really nice...too bad they don't have it for the Z1 
Has anyone seen that casing before? Do you know of any nice alternatives?

Kinda got bored with the nilkin one that I'm having now.

There is a spigen case for z2 ... Time to upgrade to new phone? Hehehe .....

Anyway ... The z1 is so beutifully designed ... Why hide it in a case?
