This is in EUI 14S. -KJ

I've had WiFi not finding any networks once, solved by reboot as simply toggling WiFi did not fix it, and some issues with positioning not being very precise. (Not sure if this is the ROM or the hardware.) When under heavy load, the phone will heat up and eat through the battery in ~3 hours with...

Been using this for a couple of days now. Mostly without issues. Had the 12S earlier and tried the CM12.1 to get rid of the trojan, but went back to this due to very bad battery performance on the CM build. This has been working quite nicely for the last couple of days. No big issues to report...

A big thank you to bauner for this excellent ROM. Makes the Note a decent phone with both battery life and performance that is better than stock ROM. -KJ

I have also had mine since launch, and I think OP simply got a lemon. I have the random reboot issue that most people seem to have, but a part from that, none I've heard about have anything even close to the kind of trouble OP had. The most common weakness I hear about from my friends owning...

After the last update I am experiencing spontaneous reboots on a daily basis. This is getting ridiculous. -KJ

I see the same symptoms. The phone seems to run slower and slower until I reboot it or it reboots itself. Was worse on 4.3 though. -KJ

I have had several reboots on my totally stock phone under normal use. Did not see anything like this on 4.3. I hope they get this sorted as soon as possible. -KJ

I haven't read all 30 pages here, but if anyone else are having problems with camera hanging after taking a picture, try changing from SD storage to internal. Fixed mine at least. -KJ Sent fra min Nexus 7 via Tapatalk

I upgraded with Flashtool and haven't had any problems. Battery is very good. Used the phone to surf a little yesterday. In three and a half hours with screen om auto surfing different sites it came back with 28 % battery usage. Pretty decent for a phone with this spec. -KJ Sent from my Nexus...

There's multiple reasons why Android has more safety problems than iOS and Windows Phone. One of them is storage access. There is no denying that. -KJ

This is a safety feature introduced by Google. If you want to get around this you will have to wait for root. -KJ Sent from my C6903 using Tapatalk

For all of those having weird problems after installing any ROM: Do a full backup of your pone, then do a full wipe and test the phone again. If it still bugs out, please tell us about the problem you're having. -KJ

Yeah, or it could be because Sony is gathering all Z1 owners' snail mail addresses together to ship our free upgrade to Z2. You never know... The update won't start rolling until Sony is good and ready. As others have stated in this thread, nothing has rolled for the ZU yet either. -KJ

So because the Z1 is a phone with a camera that performs quite decent in manual mide it's OK that it performs like crap indoors and under challenging conditions? The only reason I brought the RX-100 into the equation is to have a benchmark. The 1020 is far from perfect with its whitebalance...

In my opinion the superior auto function of the Sony camera should be able to produce a shot as close to reality as possible given the hardware we have in the Z1. That is pretty far from the reality as of the current firmware. Indoors and with a little challenging lighting it will fail quite...

That is for another thread. And I see your point every day. There's a reason why this reply is posted from a Z1 Ultra... ;) -KJ Sent from my C6833 using Tapatalk

I could not disagree more. The pics I take with s.a. on the Z1 are actually some times so bad that even a casual user will see quite a big difference even on the small screen of the phone. Given the pretty decent hardware of the camera in the phone it should be able to produce a consistently...

Sorry about the radio silence, but I've been a little busy the last few days. However I have had the opportunity to bring the 1020 around a little, and even though I haven't had the Z1 with me to do comparison shots, I must say that after I've been using the 1020 for a week, there's no way I...

Again; what on earth does that have to do with the topic I started? Waterproofing and performance just does not matter when it comes to picture quality. Of course personal preference will add in, but no matter how you look at the pictures I have attached here, the 1020 kills the Z1. I am not...

I have the Z1, I was not satisfied with the pictures it produces and got a Lumia 1020. What does S4 Zoom have to do with that? -KJ Sent from my C6833 using Tapatalk

As stated, this is not about what the cameras can produce if handled by skilled users. This is about pressing the camera button to wake the phone and snapping a pic. If the Z1 chooses ISO400 and the 1020 chooses ISO200, so be it. That will ultimately be a part of what differs between the cameras...

This is a comparison of the stock capabilities of the phone. I bet 9x % of the people that are buying these phones are using the stock camera app. Also the 1020's camera app is a lot more advanced compared to the Z1's manual mode. There's quite a few in depth comparisons out there comparing...

In the sample shots above the 1020 produces colors much closer to the real thing than the Z1. If you look at the foam on the beer and the details on the bottle label you also see that the Z1 has quite a bit of noise. The 1020 on the other hand has rich detail and next to no noise. I will try to...

Ever since I got my Z1, I have been less than impressed by the camera performance. One of the main reasons why I upgraded from the Z to the Z1 was the much better specs on the camera the Z1 was toting. Specs aside, I feel that the camera on the Z1 really can produce very good images, but in...

Sold mine to a friend which has a habit of breaking his phones, and now, a year and a half down the road, the phone is still going strong. The metal bezel around the screen has changed color due to hard wear, and the back cover is both dented and scratched, but the phone it self is working as...

Before you send it back; check the jack for pocket lint. Happened to me after owning the device for two days. Only mic working on the headset. Used a headed needle to remove the lint that had stuck in the socket, and all good again. -KJ

Could we get an overview in the first post telling us which regions has gotten the update yet? -KJ

If the wifi spectrum in your area is saturated, you will see trouble on mobile devices before you see it on your pcs. This is simple physics due to both size and power issues. When saturation is to blame, you cannot really avoid it in any other way than what is suggested here. That is the...

In my translation (Norwegian), it clearly states that stamina mode only is in effect when the screen is off. So I doubt whatever is slowing the phone would be related to stamina mode. Edit: Just saw the screenshot above my post here. It might be that they have changed the way Stamina mode...

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"...

The battery draw has nothing to do with the phone. It must have been something else causing this. I have had quite a few Android phones, and there is no phone that is immune to cockups from apps going bananas keeping the phone from entering deep sleep. -KJ

Definately sounds like something was wrong in your case here. My Z1 easily lasts two days of medium use, with an hour of screen time, a few snapshots with the camera, gmail and exchange sync on and a little RunKeeper. You should have used a wake lock detector to see what was eating your power...

The SBH52 disconnected on 4.2 for me as well. I use the SBH52, a Parrot Zik, a Jawbone Era and the integrated bt on my car, and the only problem I have is the disconnecting SBH52. -KJ Sent from my C6833 using Tapatalk

Correct me if I'm wrong, but as long as he's been downgraded to 4.2.2 again, he'd have to wipe. At least that is how it was on my Xperia Z. -KJ

Sounds like somethings has gone wrong in the update process. Have you tried backing up all your data and doing a factory reset? I do not think clearing Dalvik will help you here, sounds like something else is acting up. You could try to install one of the apps designed to detect what is...

Just a quick update on the issues I brought up in this thread: After I updated to 4.3, the camera takes much better pictures in low light conditions. It still struggles a bit to focus, but the pictures look a lot better. Also I have not seen the proximity sensor bug out at all. That means...

Same here as with others; much better reception after the update. Used to see no to one bar in my bedroom, now I have one to two bars. -KJ Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4

I updated mine yesterday. Today I have had two crashes when using Chrome. Chrome turns white, then I get the popup saying Chrome has stopped, do you want to etc. When this happens, the only solution is a reboot. Anyone else seen this? If I'm alone, I'll try a factory reset. Just wanted to...

I do not have this on mine. Do a backup and reset the phone. -KJ Edit: Testet it on my Z U as well; no problems. Sent from my C6903 using Tapatalk

I think most of us understand why Sony use ASF, but that still does nothing to change the fact that the Z1 gets scratches a lot faster than other brand phones using screens with no ASF. Also the lack of oleophobic coating on the screen underneath means that you will need to buy something from a...

#1: Camera. I expected a good camera producing decent shots under most conditions. What I got was a camera shooting good photos in certain settings and hands down crappy ones given some other settings. One of the biggest let downs is the poor color reproduction under low light conditions. #2...

I'll just chime in here with the same info that's already been provided by others; battery life in use is decent. I use mine only periodically, but when I use it I rarely pay the battery any attention, and never have had any trouble with WiFi reception. I don't have the biggest house, but I have...

The gen 2 Nexus 7 is way better than the gen 1 in every way. Period. The next generation will probably be better than the gen 2 again. That's how it works. If you want something better than your current gen1, buy the gen 2. It's a decent deal. -KJ

I disagree. I have been hitting the back button a lot during normal use. The new layout is better IMO. Sent from my SGP311 using Tapatalk 2

I have been running this update for 24 hours now and although I see a lot of things that has changed for the better, I really can not see the big improvement in viewing angles some are reporting. What settings are you using for your screens? -KJ Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk 2

Running latest JB Germany here. Same issues as the rest of the users here. Slow performance, crashing from time to time. Chasing wakelocks on a daily basis. Why is it so hard for Samsung to deliver a decent upgrade? I've had both the SII and this Note and they both suck donkey's behind after...

The JB update is the first Android update I've seen that acutally implements new funtionality on any handset I've owned save the iPhone. Hopefully this means that Samsung has "seen the light" and wants to give its customers a similar owner experience to iOS users. I'll stay on the optimistic...

Will try this. -KJ Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2
