Firmware Update Rolling Out To Sony Xperia Z1 and Z Ultra With Display Tweaks, Longer Battery Life, And More So, camera tweaks, improved battery performance and screen improvements (some say the yellow hue has lessened). There are also reports on XDA of increased WiFi range etc too. However...

Only had my Xperia Z1 for 3 weeks and tonight it refused to switch on but on close examination I found I could slightly make out icons on my screen, I actually put my music on which took me ages to turn off cos the screen was black. On another forum I read that this has happened to someone on 3...

Hi, I new to Sony and android (coming from iPhone), I have got the Z1 and would like to know how to get SMS notifications to show on the lock screen. I know it's got the light and preview on top bar but I am looking for something to show actually on the lock screen. Thank you

Sony Xperia Z1 rumored to get Android 4.4 update in November - GSMArena.com news I'm not holding out much (any really) hope tbh.

So my SW2 came today! Pretty unimpressive...... Theres no app available or any clear instructions on how too control music from the watch! This is pretty much all i wanted it for (luckily it was free with my Z1 from EE!) I dont want any 3rd party music player! I like Walkman app and even...

If found this app whilst trawling through some threads on XDA regarding the screen issues: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kovit.p.filteryourscreen It works to a degree, if I play about with the settings, whites certainly look better than they do stock, but I'm concerned...

How do you delete facebook messenger conversations on the xperia z1

The MicroSD cover doesn't sit flush with the edge of the phone. Even if you push it in quite hard to compress the seal-ring a bit, you can still feel the edges if you slide your finger over it. Shame, as all the other port covers are nice and flush. Anyone else got this ? If so, it's probaby...

Any body notice whether or not it makes a difference? I allow some apps to use my internet connection (gmail, whatsapp, hangouts, cerberus etc). Doing it that way, am I completely negating its usefulness?

Hi, I have an issue with my Xperia Z1 , and the bluetooth connection to the car. (2012 VW Passat). They both acknowledge each others existance, but they won't talk to each other! I have set the car up with 3 other phones with no problem. Any ideas? The man on the Sony helpline suggested I...

Hello, Right now I have the Xperia Z1. And its a really great Phone. I only have one problem. Almost all the time (while playing games, when doing nothing, and when browsing the internet) I get an error which littery translated from dutch means read error try again later. Does anyone knows...

I've just got the Xperia Z1 and feel a conflict of interest between walkman and play music. I added some music and some has gone into walkman and some into play music.I have no idea how to choose where a song goes. Would i be better off uninstalling one of these and if so,which one ?.

Hi, I'm completely new to android and the Z1 is my first step into the unknown. There are many reasons I've jumped ship from Apple (stale, overpriced) but a big reason was customisation. now my issue I'm currently having on the Z1is I can't for the life of me figure out how (if at all...

Can anyone get the headset button to do anything apart from prompting the "Smart" Connect app to ask if you want to do nothing, open Evernote or Track ID. This is infuriating, what use are Evernote or Track ID when I'm cycling and want to skip tracks, answer calls etc. If you click do...

Yep got mine today from CPW, and the lens, been having a play the evening, the only slightly annoying thing about the lens, is you can't actually see the pics you take with it. It's default is 18mp when a sd card is installed, or 2mp without. The 18 get written to the card but I can't see any...

I've just picked mine up! :D I think I'm totally network unbranded, no EE apps and no EE logo on startup. If you have yours and are unbranded, can you confirm the software number from Settings -> About Phone please? Is it 14.1.G.1.518? Thanks! :)

Hello, I have rooted my Z1 yesterday using VRoot which is a chinese root tool so a lot of guess work but I got there. My question is though, the SuperUser installed is a Chinese one so obviously when things request Root permissions it is all in Chinese. I have downloaded SuperSU off Play...

I may be being dense here but I can't for the life of me find the USB-Debugging option anywhere in the phone. Can someone point me in the right direction? Looking on-line everywhere says just setting, developer options but I don't have that option anywhere as far as I can see.

When I ordered my Z1 via EE a week ago I am sure they said expect delivery between 16th and 22nd September. Anyone else heard anything on delivery from EE or other networks?

Sony have now released the User Guide for the Z1. You can get it from here.

What I've managed to find so far - Sony Xperia Z1 Review | Mobile Phones | CNET UK Personally, I think it's unfair to judge battery life when the phone is so new. My experience is that batteries don't tend to perform at full capacity for a good week or so. He also criticizes the camera...
