Is it the same old launcher or the new one from XZU / Honami?
Didn't want to update it yet due to loss of "root".

Did you flash your phone (for example with the Spanish FTF v. 423). Or did you wait for 423 ota in your country.
Just so that we might have some sort of clue if more people should get the same update soon or not.

I've downloaded it! If Sony don't push an update by the end of the weekend, I'm gonna flash this! Had enough waiting for them! What a joke!
Downloaded via PC Companion
Well well, Sony do seem to be getting better at this update malarkey, don't they?
One major change noted: as mentioned elsewhere on the net (actually not sure where but I'm sure I did) 20mp images are now less noisy. This has a trickle down effect on over-sampled 8mp images which are also less noisy and sharper.
Basically, they've adjusted the automatic ISO, from what I can see. The attempted ISO in low light is now lower than it was before and much more managable for the sensor. Noise still seems present but the noise is smaller, meaning less of a hit on image sharpness.
After testing it continually against the Z, there's no doubt about it: this camera is a beast. The results I've got in low light, even before the update,... well, a Lumia would struggle to best it. - not a Lumia 1020, of course, that's just silly talk.

I am doing the exact same thing got all the files downloaded and just waiting to see if Sony start to push .534 to the UK on unbranded handsets.
Yesterday actualized appeared in PC Companion (Poland). During the update, there was an error. Smartphone died. It helped: Flashtool and file of the forum "[FTF]Xperia Z1 C6903 14.1.G.1.534 Firmware 1276-4314_R2A [Central Europe]". Everything works beautifully so far.

Just a quick question, but I'm guessing this is the latest update for the C6903. Might I ask if this is the unbranded one suitable for devices from the Netherlands?

I see I tested the ISO and took pictures from all the aperture that were available in the update before this one and notice no change in noise.
Updated 2 days ago, runs fine, but experienced now two sudden crashes and restarts.
At first crash yesterday all icons for basic phone functions were gone and all apps collected in folders were "unfoldered" in the apps screen.
Today I had a sudden restart after taking a 20 MB photo. This time only the basic phone apps were "unfoldered" in the apps screen.
Really wonder which glitch in the ROM this could be??

I have Xperia Z1 C6903 14.1.G.1.534 Firmware on my Phone, do I have to update with this one anyway to flash ROMs?
Upgraded using Sony PCC yesterday, and must say that I like the new build very good. My phone is totally stock, unrooted, non branded version.
Overall the speed of the phone is a lot better. Especially in Hangouts and the launcher. No more waiting for two seconds after pressing the "home" button for icons to show.
Also battery is drastically better for me. Two hours screen time, an hour of talking, everything on sync as normal and still 70 % battery after 12 hours... Pretty impressive.
Still have black screen in Chrome on multitask, though. Annoying
Anyone else have experiences or bugs to share? I will try to sum it all up in this first post, making it easier to get an overview. I will mark the info I have been able to confirm with green color.

I guess no. This might be a test build for the path towards stable Kitkat.
Certified doesnt always mean that it would be rolled.
I guess sony will go straight to 4.4KK...
It could be like last update: 14.2.A.1.114 (certified) ==> 14.2.A.1.124 (certified) ==> 14.2.A.1.136 certified and released.
So again: wait and drink a cup of tea
After releasing New Flagship Device they might release kitkat for Z range

Therefore, that it's only a minor number forward from the last fw (136), it won't be anything near kitkat!
Maybe a minor Bugfix or extended update from 136 but nothing major!
Wait until the buildnumber changes to 14.3.X. to guess when kitkat will arrive, just a hint

Kitkat won't be out before Barcelona - that's 100% and this could go out, maybe it's just some regional patch.
But it's nothing big - that's obvious from build number.

That are mainly hardware issues and I really doubt it could be ever fixed...
Maybe they will succeed to make it better - like touchscreen sensitivity and yellow tint...
But that's not software - I'm 100% sure, why?
Because I'm using 290 firmware and it's working fantastic.
Without any touchscreen problems, with real white and black colors on screen and with great battery life...
Every single firmware I tried worked perfectly...534, 290 or 136 - without a single glitch.

Actually the Yellow tint is a known software, not hardware problem . The touchscreen problem is iffy, some say hardware while some say software. I actually would say the Z1 is almost flawless hardware wise, the problems start on the software side (yellow tint, camera, bluetooth, etc.)
It's good because that means Sony can fix most of the problems on the Z1. They already fixed yellow tint and bluetooth, now the touchscreen and camera optimization should happen soon.

I would say it's mix, it's a software, O.K but only on some devices which are using different screens and other parts (bluetooth chip and other parts).
It's impossible that you have problems and I don't have if we all have exactly the same hardware...
So the conclusion would be - we are both half right

My impressions on 4.4 update:
Camera gets pictures faster after getting proper focus compared to 4.3
UI seems a bit smoother - it just feels smoother
Webpages get loaded faster
Data transfer between pc and phone over Wi-Fi without any external apps seems to be a good idea
Nothing new in camera apps. I got terribly disappointed.
We've got the new video editor that has the slow down the video option. That looks like they didn't remove that function from the Z1 or maybe Timeshift Video is coming for us. I'm sure that .681 FW is going to be updated soon as creative app is laggy just like on ported version. Same thing for showing camera apps (change mode from SA to anything else)
Camera apps can be rearranged by tap and hold.
I can't tell about any REAL new features. We've got wifi data transfer and printing. So far I can't see any other features.
Statusbar can't be swiped to change from notifications to toggles. You have to press the toggles button to change to those. It's not really a big thing, but I got really annoyed by that in 10 minutes of 4.4 on Z1.
Camera launches faster.
Summary:
I'm kind of dissapointed by the update. I hoped to get more out of it.
I'll give it a try for a few days though. We'll see if I'd really benefit from the update. (TBH I'm too lazy to do rerooting, restoring backup etc. and I'm a bit curious if there's anyting new here.
Please drop all your opinions/feelings about 4.4 update below.

"Data transfer between pc and phone over Wi-Fi without any external apps seems to be a good idea"

Xperia connectivity. It's for windows 7+. Z1 basically shows up just like you would have connected it via USB cable in MTP mode. Haven't tested it any further though.
I accidentally thanked you for no reason xD

Confirm fixed. C6906
Lost + button to add more themes.
But big question is...
Anyone could pls explain how localization now works on 4.4.2?
In 4.3 I could have localization thru 3g on and gps off, then I'd turn gos on with a switch when using maps on nav app, and ogff again when finished.
Now all I have is a switch that enables/disables localization and an option with 3 way of working: 1. gps + 3g + wifi, 2. Gps + wifi or 3. gps only.
I am lost... If I choose option 1 than is my gps always on sucking battery? If I choose 2 how can I easily enable gps when in nav app? And if I choose 3 how can I still have google localize me thru wifi when localization is off?
This is so stupid, they should have kept 3g and gps localization separate...

Hey guys, since 4.4.2 has arrived.. I think its fair to create a thread where all of us can report whatever bugs exist in 10.5.A.0.230.. So that Sony can see this and fix them.. Or it might help our devs..
EDIT:
Bugs i found,
1. Wifi gets disabled by itself, a simple reboot solves it though.
2. Small stuttering on the notification bar.
3. RAM leak exists but gets fixed after a reboot(Google's 4.4.2 bug and its fixed in 4.4.3).
4. GPU drivers arent as good as in 4.3..
5. Over time, the fw becomes unstable'ish and shows some lags and apps take time to open.
6. Sometimes calls won't reach the other side and when it does, the caller(us) wont be able to hear anything from the other side.. This happens a lot like once in every 2-3 days..
7. Sometimes after video recording, there is no sound in the video.. Its MUTE..
7. All 4.4.2 Google's bugs..
If u have any other to add, mention me and i'll add em..
Fixes:
Most of the bugs are solved automatically after a simple reboot, if u face lags do wipe cache and dalvik cache and u will see the difference..
Google Play Services battery drain bug can be solved by disabling the Location service.

My album, walkman, and movies become old version bro after update to kitkat. An example: In 4.3 my album version is 6.x.x.x, and now in Kitkat my album is 5.x.x.x anyone have same case with me?? :angel: (NB: no update from sonny update application)
can someone post the screenshotys of the new UI and screens.... thanks..
I still can not hear the audio notification via bluetooth, Type whatsapp, viber, sms ... Sony removed this possibility since 4.3. It worked fine until the 4.2 version 67

It seems to be normal that 4.4 is a bit laggy, try out the following: "Settings--> Developer Options --> Force-GPU Rendering", after rebooting it should be a bit better :good:

Try enabing Force 4x MSAA or something.. It removes some lags too..
Huge battery drain from Google Play Services after the upgrade. I'm down to 30% battery after 4 hours. Google Play Services has taken 50% of that.

Yeah its really annoying for kitkat to have a huge drain off battery
By the way, does anyone already tried this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix
Im still on 4.3 but confirmed info from my friend:
Camera app slower start, typical is 7sec but max was 14-17sec, and overall laggy camera menu.
Stock keyboard slower start, and laggy text select option.
Overall speed of menu is worst.
No audio notification via bluetooth
Battery "sucker" system apps.
4.4 stupid SD card limitation(but its google stupid idea)
Worst performance with GTA: SA
PS enabling Force-GPU Rendering or {omg} 4x MSAA is worst thing that you can do, because it make older apps lag or even FC.

Not this but a xposed module, it works as it should.

Same performance in games (Real Racing 3), slightly better battery usage, almost same RAM usage, no lag in notification bar/area, for now superstable and smooth.
Saw someone posted that there's no the letter " L " to tap while pressing the 4.4.2 3 times,it just turns black screen,and few more press to reach the Android KitKat logo.
Looks like .227 and .230 is the same,Sony devs didn't fix anything.
We need to fix ourself...

It was expected,seems like they didn't put much effort into this,just to give us "something".I knew it they are not delaying the release just to perfect the firmware,but oh well,going back to my favorite AOSP.It was the same case back then,when they released 4.3 journalists version,then they gave us the very same firmware as official,despite the bugs that everyone was reporting.We got what we deserve I guess.

We deserve what we paid for. We didn't pay for some laggy ****.
Took 6 Months to release and we got a half baked sluggish rom. Reminds me on Sony's ICS Update.
