Upgraded mine from 4.2.2 to 4.4.2 with the pre-rooted stock 4.4 firmware from nut, so far so good (except for the vibrator which some times sounds weird)

and tried this mod that enable Pen mode similar to ZU http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2652762
not bad.

now waiting for a complete workable Z2 camera mod for Z1...

yup all stock kitkat will have that problem, as google changed or restrict the way the sdcard is accessed.

the above mentioned method work for me as well

normally after an update, the phone will take a few days before the power consumption get back to an acceptable level.

On an unrelated note, when my phone prompt me for .757 OTA update and I couldn't update Via ota due to root, it drains my battery quite fast too. restart my phone, then it doesnt drain anymore. I notice this happening on previous OTA prompt update as well, if I didn't update or restart, my battery will drain.

just try restarting your phone. no harm trying. cheers

After a long time of absence from the forum ... am back with the SmartBand SWR10

[attachmentid=3948717]

Early feedback (been using it for about a week now):

- initial firmware sucks .... the device kept disconnecting from the phone
- new firmware launched on 25 April fixed most problems and also added an auto night mode

So what happens is that you need to download a software called "LifeLog" which allow you to track all sort of stuff:

[attachmentid=3948720]

Things like steps, where you been before, the weather, how much time you spent on entertainment, music, photos, etc.

As a step counter, it works as advertised. But it does more than just that... you are basically recording your entire life in this software which probably brings up the next point... how safe is your data? I'm not too sure since the software sync all these info back to Sony Network (you can actually restore all your data after a hard reset).

I wonder if this will work together with pebble smart watch..

It doesn't even work together with the Sony SmartWatch yet ... something which I have suggested to Sony is that we should be able to use the SmartWatch as the display based on information captured by SmartBand (such as step counter,life bookmark, etc.) since the SmartBand itself doesn't have any display (unlike the Fitbit Flex/Force)

Hopefully we see an app for the SmartWatch soon ....

No, what meant is, will I be able to connect to both Pebble and swr10? And sometimes I'll connect my phone to mdr-1rbt as well.. So make it 3 bluetooth devices concurrently connect Z1, I have no problem with pebble + mdr -1rbt atm.. Not too sure about adding swr 10 into the mix
