hi bro,
that is cheap! can i have the shop name or address?
did you tested the waterproof part after repair?

just to share, this is how my Z1 looks like right now.

read the earlier post,
about 300 - 500rm if not mistaken

i notice the call alert from the speaker now is soft. Previous only need open half the sound from speaker are loud. After lolipop i need to open full only can hear the sound from the speaker.

yup. i too notice the volume for ringtone and notification is softer now

initially after i did the factory reset, i too feel that my battery life have got better. no more sudden shut down due to battery empty. but after maybe 2 days using, the problem came back i think. will need longer time to monitor.

but anyway, i can really feel my battery bulging, so i may send for battery replacement these few days

haha..mate..looks exactly like mine after it came crashing down the table.

Anyways have pm you the number. Cant remember the add, receipt at home

still haven't get my update notice yet

My thoughts after lollipop:

1. Quick setting function gone (hold location button and tap setting to go to location setting)

2. No silent phone shortcut, not even using power key

3. No more quick setting widget (e.g Wi-Fi toggle widget)

4. Any way to remove 'what's new' bloatware and google bar on top of every page?

5. Hope notification text can scroll left to right

For item number 4, you can, just long press on the blank space until it comes up with widget, themes, etc, you have the hide option of the Google search bar. And for what's new, it is required as Sony update centre replaced by it.

i also notice when play song in walkman the sound very soft eventhough the volume is at max need to put my fon near my ear to listen, anyone experince the same thing?

Anyone know any gooding case for this phone ah ? its really hard to find case for z1 man

Hye,

I browsed through this thread but can't seem to find an answer. Does the Lollipop update for Z1 support 'double tap to wake'? Sorry if I missed out the answer in anyone's reply.

No. Change of UI material design and some tweaks here and there.
Don't expect too much as there is not much different.

Ahh I see. Thanks for replying! Have to stick with power button then.

But Z3 compact already got double tap to wake function

the Z3C since release had it.

EDIT : and they must have a touch digitizer with pressure sensing to have this feature.

Xposed Lollipop will causing our Xperia Z1 bootloop.

Finally we got a fix here from XDA.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.p...0&postcount=123?

I attached the download here as well.

Things to do before start
1) Make sure you are running Lollipop 5.0.2
2) Make sure it is root
3) Make sure you have XZDualRecovery 2.18.12 (This is a Must!)

Steps

1) Reboot to recovery
2) Flash Xposed (xposed-arm-20150308.zip)
3) Flash below after flashed xposed

Flash below to uninstall exposed if you facing boot loop
 xposed_uninstall.zip ( 179.08k ) Number of downloads: 1

btw, is there an easy root method for lollipop now other than the pre-rooted firmware?

Wrong...you can have double tap to wake by tweaking the kernel.My Old Nexus4 got that function by flashing custom kernel.Not sure if got def make it on XDA with Z1 though.You can even have gesture shortcuts like OPPO by tweaking the kernel.

Yes, but still. You need recovery.
If your Z1 have recovery. It can be easily root. But don't have, u will have to revert to kitkat. Get the recovery, root, update and root.

No use. Tweaking kernel for that feature results in battery draining.
They also need to have the hardware to do so.
