Updated to latest firmware, barely notice the changes.maybe animation is a little bit smoother.
*
yeah, i also updated yesterday and so far no noticeable changes. oh and when closing whatsapp, the camera app doesn't pop up so far. maybe they fix this problem? need more time to monitor

btw, i've rooted fw 157 using this method

Anyone tried to pair the Samsung Gear 2 with the Xperia Z1? I got the Gear 2 as a gift, I read it's possible if the firmware is Kit Kat 4.4.2 but I'm still in Jelly Bean.

It's time to upgrade to kk la

Ok, I updated to straight to 4.4.4 Build 14.4.A.0.133 but it has a SD write problem. The SD Fix tools I got off the Google Play store also cannot make the SD Card writeable. Any help?

This is where I got my firmware http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z1/...-0-133-t2887081
*
As I know 133 is not a global release, it's only for certain countries. Why not update to 157 and use the method to root as I posted above? I face no issue so far

Alright, cool. I'm using PC Companion to detect the firmware to download and it's been hours the progress bar hasn't moved. Do you know where else I can download the firmware from and use Flashtool instead?
*
just realised the 133 u flashed is for vodafone... maybe that's the problem...

i'll suggest u go to this link and download the MY generic fw. i think the only MY version is 4.3 JB 14.2.A.0.290. flash this fw and then try to update to KK via PC Companion

eh, z1 can record 4k vid?
i thought its a hardware related thumbup.gif
and what is timeshift?

and btw, quite scary reading the chain reaction from water proofing failed.
my phone dropped 3 times 4ft to the floor, after a years with me, just minor scratch, no dent to aluminium frame. really strong yo.

and so far waterproofing working fine

hi hi
just want to add, slightly after one year with my Z1 and loving it.

on Nov 1st i brought my Z1 to Viper Challenge, it was dip with mud and pool of muddy water a few times even it is stored on a pouch on my shoulder. took it out and wash it in the lake and that i think was one of the best "indirect" advertisement for Xperia waterproof phones.

as i took it out near a lake and wash it in water because it was covered with mud stains from the mud pools, lines of people were looking as i wash the phone with  ohmy.gif  blink.gif  and then i cleared away the stains, swing it a bit to get the water drops off the phone as much as possible and use it to take picture. i heard an exclaimation "ohh thats an xperia" from somewhere... hahaha...

i too have wash my z1 countless time under running tap and soak in water maybe couple of times. still good and running

and many are claiming the waterproof feature on xperia are just gimmicky... rclxub.gif

i claim to customers, you will never know when water seeps into your device when it rains. go on and claim its gimmick, you will realize the use one day.

not like sammy, 2K screen which is totally a gimmick that no one's gonna use. doh.gif
*
well, 2k screen may still be consider gimmick this year. in fact i think not much apps really take advantage of the extra pixel

however, come next year, if all the rumour turn out to be true, 2k screen will become a "standard" for most, if not all, flagship model (whether u like it or not). hopefully by then there will be more apps that really take advantage of the extra pixels

Yup. I also agree that these 2 firmware so far does not give any trouble to me as well.

157 should be the last KitKat OS for Z1 right? Hopefully they dont screw up the Lollipop OS release.
*
hehe... don't keep your hopes too high. lollipop will be a major update. even nexus users face few issues with lollipop.
