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.

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
Thanks for the tip. I did what you suggested, rooted and deodexed.

updated to .157 feel nothing new, maybe because my phone never hang/lag and still fine..

Now, I'm gonna root it again because I want to use 4K video recording thumbup.gif

I'm not aware that 4K video is finally stable for the Z1. Could you point me to the link? I'm interested too.

I'm using the mod from --> forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53165575&postcount=66

of course there are no official for Z1., I just porting in from Z2 filedriver without odex/deodex . Just install in recovery mode and run biggrin.gif

4k and time shift videos work, but there is one bug. Everytime I restart my phone, I get a popup notification saying my Xperia Home crashed. I'm guessing it could be the fault of Superuser Mod. I've only found and used the one for C6903 Build 14.4.A.0.108.

I also installed just 4K-HFRv1.3.zip. Do I need to install 4kpatch120fps-New(06-06-2014).zip?

It's would be good if you can help me resolve that Xperia home issue. Thanks!

Sorry, but I never encounter that problem.

I'm also just instal the 4K-HFRv1.3.zip only

have you installed the framework/ xperia xposed?
*
It must have been the Superuser Mod .108 that caused the problem. I used xperia xposed and 4k-HRFv1.3.zip and it's all good. Thanks for sharing what you did. :-)

Timeshift video is good, but not sure why Sony isn't bringing it over to Z1/Z1 Compact.  sweat.gif

It's likely they included Timeshift in Z2 to encourage people to upgrade.

as for waterproofing, once open the unit for repairs, no more waterproof, simple as that, even Sony SC

imo. if you want waterproof back. sell off your unit. get Z3

or Z2 since its a bargain now

My uncle's Z1 was sent for repair at Sony SC and they tested for waterproofing before returning to him.

Hey guys, I got a question for those who are using stock camera mods like 4k video. Do you have problems sending Whatsapp videos that are a minute long?

I've been trying out this DstrikerZ1 custom ROM and just discovered Whatsapp crashes when I try to do that.
