you'll need root and dual recovery to flash the file. if you are new to this, I suggest you go to the xda forum and read more about it before doing anything to your phone

even with lollipop, you should not have experience drastic battery drain. maybe you try to do a factory reset of your phone and see if the drain still occurring.

if looks like this, believe me, change the battery


and any1 here can suggest me which adhesive to apply for my back cover
can i use normal silicone (white or transparent)

I've done a factory reset.....let's see how. Thanks!

my z1 compact is downloading a new system update (currently 5.02). hmmm let's see....

ok, update failed. now I have to do repair using PC

grrrrrrrrr

lol 1st time heard update failed

meanwhile i still waiting my update

Hahaha. At last my phone back to ip58
Just diy applied rubber silicone
Fukken service shop just put simple adhesive double side tape even dont have at top near camera. No wonder my phone back cover buldge at top all these while

Anyone already receive any updates on latest MY firmware?

Why are we recently getting very late updates, last time, if I not mistaken, we receive very fast updates to jump on the Lollipop...

Haishhh...

I also got the fast drain problem...
i never updated to lolipop so i suspect my battery almost spoil...2 years of usage since oct 2013..
the back is not bloated but it gets hot very fast. i am using it naked now..

how long does it takes for you to send it for exchange batt?

By fast, how fast do you mean by that? It depends on usage normally. Most common issue for z1 battery is that when reach 50%, it force shutdown and claim to be 0% if you switch back on without charging.

U can go to amcorp mall, cant rmb the actual name of the centre but try refer above as this has been highlighted several times. Normally takes less than a day if you go in the morning, and can collect during lunch hour or late afternoon.

for a month iinm
cant stand with it.... i cant use for heavy apps like camera and games

that's the issue i'm having now...it's getting worse tho...random shutdown even at 70% !!

oh btw, i'm not from kl so cannot simply go to amcorp mall

yeah it's starts to get on my nerves as well
i have a trip coming up & my only camera is this phone...it better be good because i dont have all the time to wait for repair!
desperate measure is i have to bring my batt bank & charge if drops to 80%


nak beli baru? not a chance...

Maybe you can check online for official service center. It only will get worse unless you change a new battery

anyone bought z5 already? want to get review from you guys

i think you can find it here https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3698795

Anyone know roughly how much it costs to replace the battery at Sony Mobile Service Centre? I checked my battery died (cannot charge).

Thanks.

hey gaise, anyone can suggest to me powerful lens cleaner
my cam now blur/fogging no matter how i clean it. open back casing also same
its confirm from lens itself, not back cover

cleaned with isoprophly alcohol, doesnt see any different

Tried cleaning the internal lens?

yup. already done
out of sudden my cam behave like this
cannot autofocus anymore, staying at macro mode if trying to focus

anyone know where can I find a replacement battery for Z1? My phone will automatically shut down when it reach 60%.
