Hi all, my z1 calendar widget recently stopped displaying my xperia with facebook birthdays although they can be seen in the calendar apps. It used to have no problem in the display previously before i upgraded to kit kat. Can anyone help out with this? Thanks a lot!

I'm often transferring files to and from my phone (both internal and SD). I would just leave it in MSC, except when I do large amounts of files to my SD card, it's PAINFULLY slow. The cure for that is switching to MTP mode, but then I lose my access to the phone. I'm constantly switching back...

I just got to thinking, flashing on Samsung was easy, just pick the ROM you want, put on SD and install and wipe etc. However with Sony we have got the extra bit of flashing the .ftf too. Out of curiosity, if I am say on the current build .757, then I wanted to try another .757 ROM, would I...

Ahh, I kept looking anywhere for a newer version of his ROM. I thought they usually keep the Roms in one thread with all the older versions in "Previous Releases" or something. The ROM I was looking at is Monx's [url=http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2463675][ROM][LB&UB] C690X...

Hi Bit of an issue with the Walkman App. Whenever I transfer music on to my phone the Walkman App seems to duplicate EVERY track with the duplicated track not playing which is so annoying when listening to music. The Google Play app doesn't do this.

I have decided I am going to have another crack at rooting my phone, mainly just so I can reverse tether. Anyway, reading through @ElPresidente's http://androidforums.com/xperia-z1-all-things-root/843542-rooting-4-3-4-4-a.html guide and the link on the dev's page for the ROM's flashable zip...

Dear All, I would like to ask you a few straightforward questions. Due to my Samsung Galaxy S2 driving me crazy with it's terrible battery life, I have decided it's time for an upgrade. On first inspection it seems like the Z1 is a really good phone and I really fancy it based on...

I picked up the handset on launch day, having pre ordered so I got the 6 free movies and additional content (games etc). I've just tried to download Django Unchained to watch at work tonight, but the download buttons are greyed out. It's telling me I've already purchased the item and when I...

Hi Running build 14.3.A.0.757 on a branded Three Ireland Sony Xperia Z1. When I try to edit a contact I get "Unfortunately, Contacts has stopped". When I click the Ok button I return to the contacts list. All my contacts all Google. Any ideas? I will engage my 2nd brain (Google) and see if...

How do you copy and paste on this device? Like copying and pasting a web link or text from a website? I had a S3 before my Z1 and om the S3 it was just a matter of long pressing on what you wanted to copy and paste.

Hi, can anyone tell me if the Z1 can capture stills from video clips, I have a Galaxy S3 at the mo that has this feature, but thinking of upgrading to a Z2 (prety much the same as Z1camera wise I think.) Cheers.

Been looking at many phones and opted for this due tomozz. I wanted to ask about loading xvid type videos on it will they work or will it be the same story as the ps3 when you have the copyright protection thing.

Petty problem I know but its starting to get up my nose.. (I get irritated if I can't figure out how to do things). I have tried everything open contact edit ect tried changing to album recent and all I get is "unable to save photo edits" Branded handset running 4.4.2 Help now needed before I...

The below is what's required for 4.4.2 and below, if you've upgraded to 4.4.4, you can root without downgrading by using this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2784900 I know this looks a lot, but most of the work is done for you by flashtool and the various 1-click programs...

Hi, has anyone experienced what looks like pitting on the back of there phone? I've had my phone a couple of months now and have always had it in a case. It only comes out to sit in the charging dock. Yesterday I happened to notice the back had very small pit marks. Anyone else have the same...

Hello, I've recently acquired the Xperia Z1 as my new choice of Android phone, which I'm loving so far, absolutely brilliant phone; but recently of course there has been the new update to version 4.4.2 (KitKat) which rolled out to where I live (United Kingdom) just over a week ago. One of...

How do I turn the vibrate off my z1 whilst texting?

I had a 'normal' notification bar that I could pull down from the top - just a narrow strip with my chosen 4 quick settings. Underneath that, time, date and a clear button, and underneath that any others - email, etc. After getting my phone wet it slipped in my hands, I have no idea what I...

Hi all, I have had Z1 since December and i love the phone. Battery life has been great but last few weeks its gone down badly. I have all the power managment tools turned on like Stamina, low battery mode etc since i got phone. I was able to get power managment to say battery will last over 1.5...

Can I put a Xperia Z1 from the UK on any USA Carrier. The Xperia Z1 was with O2 and it is locked. Anyway to put it on a US Carrier such as AT&T and T-Mobile?

Thinking of getting a Z1 to replace Galaxy S3. Z2 will be too expensive, I fear. I wanted to ask if Sony deluged their phones with junk like Samsung. I have heard that it isn't anywhere near as bad, but just wanted to check. If so, it will be a Nokia 930. Thanks, Greg

Does anyone have an idea why there is a lag on my home screen when I press the home key to exit from an app, text etc... ? When I press the home key it takes me back to my home screen, the lag is the app icons or widgets loading, can take 3 or 4 seconds.
